Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum material processing, in particular to an aging furnace for aluminum alloy production. Background Art
[0002] An aging furnace is a type of heat treatment equipment used for aging alloy workpieces. Aging treatment involves holding alloy workpieces at elevated or room temperature for a period of time after solution treatment, cold plastic deformation, casting, or forging to eliminate internal stress, stabilize microstructure and dimensions, and improve mechanical properties. Aging furnaces are widely used for strengthening materials such as aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and iron-based alloys.
[0003] In the production process of aluminum alloys, heat treatment is a crucial link, which directly affects the final performance and quality of the product. Aluminum alloy, as a composite material that combines the electrical conductivity of copper with the lightweight and high-strength properties of aluminum, is widely used in many fields such as electricity, electronics, and construction. In order to further improve the performance of this material, especially its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, aging treatment has become an indispensable step. Existing aging furnaces use hot air circulation systems to heat aluminum, but aluminum is often densely stacked in the shelves, and the hot air cannot pass through the aluminum, resulting in uneven heating of the aluminum and poor aging quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model discloses an aging furnace for aluminum alloy production, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing aging furnace uses a hot air circulation system to heat aluminum materials, but the aluminum materials are often densely piled in the shelves and the hot air cannot pass through the aluminum materials, resulting in uneven heating of the aluminum materials and poor aging quality.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] An aging furnace for aluminum alloy production, comprising aluminum material and:
[0007] An aging mechanism, used for aging treatment of the aluminum material;
[0008] The transport mechanism includes a second track, the top of which is slidably connected to a storage rack, the top of which is provided with evenly distributed shelves, the shelves are provided with vertical poles, the outer wall of one side of the vertical poles is provided with evenly distributed mounting blocks, the top outer wall of the mounting block is provided with a storage plate, and the aluminum material is evenly placed on the top of the storage plate.
[0009] In this solution, the processed aluminum materials are evenly stacked in the shelves, and the aluminum materials are separated up and down to increase the distance between them, so that the hot air can pass through the aluminum materials evenly. When the hot air can fully contact and heat each aluminum material, the required heating time will be shorter, thereby saving energy and cost. It avoids the aluminum materials being arranged too densely, which may hinder the hot air from flowing through, resulting in excessively high temperatures in some areas and lower temperatures in other areas. By increasing the distance between them, the risk of such local overheating can be reduced, the heating can be more uniform, and the aging quality of the aluminum materials can be improved.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the aging mechanism includes a furnace box, a heating box is provided on one outer wall of the furnace box, a return air duct is provided on the outer wall of the furnace box, return air ports are provided on the left and right inner walls of the furnace box, a heat source system is provided in the heating box, one end of the return air duct is connected to the heating box, and a uniformly distributed fan is provided on the inner wall of one side of the furnace box, and one end of the fan is connected to the heat source system.
[0011] With the above solution, the heat source system provides heat for the furnace box, and the hot air is evenly blown to the aluminum materials piled in the furnace box through the fan. The hot air passes from one end of the aluminum materials to the other end, then enters the return air port, circulates back from the return air duct into the heating box, and continues to heat. The heat energy circulates and saves energy costs. Multiple evenly distributed fans are used to circulate and control the atmosphere in the furnace box to form a certain atmosphere environment, which helps to achieve better heat treatment effects.
[0012] As can be seen from the above, an aging furnace for aluminum alloy production includes aluminum material and:
[0013] An aging mechanism, used for aging treatment of the aluminum material;
[0014] The transport mechanism includes a second track, the top of which is slidably connected to a storage rack. Evenly spaced shelves are placed on top of the storage rack. Vertical poles are provided within the shelves. Evenly spaced mounting blocks are provided on one side of the vertical poles. A storage plate is provided on the top outer wall of the mounting block. The aluminum materials are evenly placed on top of the storage plate. The aging furnace for aluminum alloy production provided by the utility model has the technical effect of fully contacting and heating each aluminum material with hot air, resulting in more uniform heating and shorter heating time, saving energy and costs, and improving the aging quality of the aluminum materials.
