The purpose is to reduce hardness, improve machinability; eliminate residual stress, stabilize dimensions, reduce deformation and crack tendency; refine grains, adjust the structure, and eliminate tissue defects. Cooling process controllable system design: Most heat treatment furnaces mainly achieve controllable cooling speed by increasing the exhaust air in the furnace, which requires an additional set of ventilation and cooling systems, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost and floor area. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects, provide a cooling device for a gas annealing process furnace body, with a simple structure and convenient operation. A valve is directly added to the burner gas pipeline system, and by opening and closing the valve, the purpose of controlling the cooling speed can be achieved, effectively solving the problems in the background technique.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A cooling device for a gas annealing process furnace body, including a furnace body assembly. The furnace body assembly includes a heating furnace body, on the inner bottom surface of which tracks are evenly arranged. Guide wheels are evenly arranged on the lower surface of the heating furnace body. Two preheaters are fixed on the upper surface of the heating furnace body.

[0006] Furthermore, the air cooler assembly includes a blower. The outlet of the blower is connected to a Y-shaped duct, and the two outlets of the Y-shaped duct are respectively connected to the preheaters. The blower can blow air into the interiors of the two preheaters, thereby blowing air into the preheaters. The preheated air enters the blowing member, and through the blowing member, air can be blown into the heating furnace body to blow-cool the workpiece inside the heating furnace body, thereby annealing the workpiece.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a connecting short pipe. The connecting short pipe connects the Y-shaped duct and the air outlet pipe. A high-temperature pneumatic butterfly valve is provided on the connecting short pipe. When the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the heating furnace body is within a specified range, the high-temperature pneumatic butterfly valve is opened, so that the gas blown out by the air cooler assembly directly enters the inside of the blowing member, thereby further cooling the workpiece.

[0008] Furthermore, the preheater includes a preheating housing.
