Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing steel processing, in particular to an isothermal quenching device for bearing steel. Background Technique

[0002] A bearing is an important component in contemporary mechanical equipment. Its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce the friction coefficient during its movement, and ensure its rotation accuracy. All three major parts of the bearing are made of bearing steel. Among them, the steel ball part needs to undergo a quenching process to enhance its hardness and wear resistance effect. Compared with ordinary quenching, the steel balls manufactured by isothermal quenching have better performance. Isothermal quenching is a heat treatment process for steel, aiming to obtain lower bainite structure by controlling the cooling process, thereby improving the strength, hardness and toughness of the steel. This process method includes, after austenitizing treatment, quenching the workpiece into a salt bath and maintaining it for a sufficient long time to transform it into lower bainite structure, and then cooling it in the air. The heating temperature of isothermal quenching is usually higher than that of ordinary quenching, aiming to improve the stability of austenite and increase its cooling rate to prevent pearlite transformation during isothermal cooling.

[0003] Due to the small volume and smoothness of the bearing steel balls themselves, the existing isothermal quenching devices cannot quickly fish them out at one time, which is very troublesome and delays the construction period. When the existing isothermal quenching devices are quenching, generally, the steel balls in the bearing are directly poured into the isothermal quenching device. During the pouring process, the nitrate solution with a relatively high temperature in the isothermal quenching device will splash out, posing a risk of scalding the surrounding workers. Therefore, an isothermal quenching device for bearing steel is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an isothermal quenching device for bearing steel to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An isothermal quenching device for bearing steel includes a housing. A first limiting groove is opened at the top of the housing on the left side. A second limiting groove is opened inside the housing. Third limiting grooves are opened inside the housing on both sides of the second limiting groove. Supporting legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing at the edge. A limiting block is snap-fitted inside the second limiting groove. A limiting shaft is rotatably connected inside the limiting block and is located inside the third limiting groove. A filter screen is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting block away from the second limiting groove. A second collecting hopper is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing. A collecting pipe is provided at the bottom of the second collecting hopper. An outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the housing. A valve is communicated with the outside of the outlet pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a guiding block located inside the first limiting groove is fixedly connected to the top end of the filter net. A first collecting hopper is fixedly connected to the top end of the guiding block. A guiding groove located below the first collecting hopper is formed inside the guiding block. A handle is fixedly connected to the left side of the guiding block. Fixing holes arranged symmetrically are formed in the top end of the outer shell. A fixing rod is snap-fitted inside the fixing holes. The top end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to an upper cover located above the outer shell.

[0008] Preferably, the second limiting groove, the third limiting groove, the limiting block and the limiting shaft are taken as a group, and there are two groups in total. The second limiting groove, the third limiting groove, the limiting block and the limiting shaft are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the outer shell.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing holes and the fixing rods are taken as a group, and there are two groups of the fixing holes and the fixing rods in total. The outer shell and the upper cover are connected together through the fixing holes and the fixing rods.

[0010] Preferably, the shape of the support legs is a cuboid, and the support legs are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the outer shell.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. In the utility model, through components such as the outer shell, the second limiting groove, the third limiting groove, the limiting block, the limiting shaft, the filter net, the second collecting hopper and the collecting pipe, first, all the steel balls can be wrapped by the arranged filter net. Then, hold the handle and drive the filter net to lift through the guiding block. The limiting block is driven to move together by the filter net. The limiting block moves upward in the second limiting groove under the action of the limiting shaft and the third limiting groove. When the limiting block moves to the topmost position, turn over the filter net. The filter net is turned over under the action of the limiting shaft and the third limiting groove, and the steel balls in the filter net are poured into the second collecting hopper at one time. The steel balls are collected to a designated position through the collecting pipe below the second collecting hopper, thus solving the problem that due to the small volume and smoothness of the bearing steel balls themselves, the existing isothermal quenching device cannot quickly fish them out at one time, which is very troublesome and delays the construction period.

[0013] 2. In the present utility model, through components such as the outer shell, upper cover, guiding block, guiding groove, and first collecting hopper, the heated steel balls are poured into the first collecting hopper. The steel balls enter the guiding groove through the first collecting hopper and slide along the trajectory of the guiding groove into the filter screen for isothermal quenching. By setting the first collecting hopper, guiding block, and guiding groove, the trajectory of the steel balls entering the nitrate solution is extended, making the process of the steel balls entering the nitrate solution smoother, so as to avoid the splashing of the nitrate solution. By setting the upper cover to block the top end of the outer shell, the safety of workers is further ensured, thus solving the problem that in the existing isothermal quenching device during quenching, generally the steel balls in the bearing are directly poured into the isothermal quenching device, and the relatively high-temperature nitrate solution in the isothermal quenching device will splash out during the pouring process, posing a risk of scalding the surrounding workers.
