Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat treatment equipment, in particular to a segmented ceramic composite furnace bottom roller. Background Art
[0002] Heat treatment is a key process in mechanical manufacturing. While heat treatment generally does not alter the shape or overall chemical composition of a workpiece, it instead modifies its internal microstructure or surface chemical composition to enhance or improve its performance. Heat treatment furnaces can be categorized as quenching, tempering, and annealing furnaces, depending on their intended use. Continuous furnaces are typically used to heat treat steel pipes. Pipes are continuously loaded through a loading port and conveyed by furnace bottom rollers while undergoing continuous heat treatment. The rollers conveying the pipes are rotatably supported at both ends along their longitudinal axis (direction of the roller axis) by bearings mounted on the furnace wall.
[0003] At present, alloy hearth rollers are widely used in front roller continuous annealing furnaces. However, alloy steel hearth rollers are prone to heat accumulation, nodules and adhesion of oxide scales during high-temperature use, causing indentations and scratches on steel pipes. Therefore, after a period of use, the furnace needs to be stopped to grind and repair the surface of the hearth rollers, affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0012] 2. The outer diameter of the ceramic sleeve of the present application is smaller than the outer diameter of the ceramic spacer ring, so as to avoid contact between the steel pipe and the contact part of the ceramic sleeve and the ceramic spacer ring when the steel pipe is transported, thereby avoiding scratching the steel pipe.
[0013] 3. The present application sets a locking nut and rotates the locking nut to bring it close to the sliding retaining ring, thereby pushing the pre-tightening retaining ring to compress the spring, thereby applying axial pressure to the sliding retaining ring, thereby pressing the ceramic sleeve and the ceramic spacer ring to ensure that the ceramic sleeve and the ceramic spacer ring fit tightly, and avoiding gaps between the ceramic sleeve and the ceramic spacer ring to scratch the steel pipe.
[0014] 4. This application avoids scratching the surface of the steel pipe by setting the first rounded corner, the second rounded corner and the third rounded corner.
[0015] 5. This application adopts the arrangement of multiple ceramic sleeves and multiple ceramic spacer rings to effectively avoid the risk of the ceramic sleeve being too long and easy to break.
[0016] 6. The ceramic sleeve, ceramic spacer ring and sliding retaining ring of the present application are connected to the roller core shaft via a long key, thereby preventing the ceramic sleeve, ceramic spacer ring and sliding retaining ring from slipping on the roller core shaft.
