Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metal processing, and in particular relates to a forging cooling and fixing fixture. Background Art
[0002] In the field of metalworking, cooling forgings is a crucial step that directly affects the final performance and quality of the forgings. However, in the traditional forging cooling process, forgings vary in size, with a focus on square and cylindrical forgings. Cylindrical forgings tend to roll freely during cooling, making them difficult to secure. This not only reduces cooling efficiency but can also lead to uneven cooling of the forgings, affecting their subsequent processing and performance.
[0003] Common forging fixtures rely on electrical components such as motors for fixation. Although they can replace manual fixation, electrical components are exposed to high temperature environments for a long time. In addition, the alternating action of hot and cold media during cooling will cause the temperature inside the box to fluctuate. This temperature may cause thermal stress in the materials inside the electrical components, which in turn causes material fatigue or performance degradation. For some temperature-sensitive electrical components, it may also cause their performance to be unstable or fail. From a physical perspective, alternating hot and cold may also cause condensation inside the box, forming water droplets or ice crystals that accumulate on the surface or inside the electrical components, affecting their heat dissipation performance or causing short circuits, ultimately greatly increasing the damage rate of the fixture.
[0004] Therefore, a forging cooling and fixing fixture is designed which does not use electrical components and improves the fixing and limiting effect of the forging. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a forging cooling and fixing fixture to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a forging cooling and fixing fixture, comprising a box body, a plurality of hinges rotatably provided in the box body, a cooling tray installed on the front side of the hinges, guide rails symmetrically provided on the top of the cooling tray, two fixing frames slidingly provided between the guide rails, a clamping member elastically rotatably connected to the top of the fixing frame, a connecting plate provided at the bottom of the fixing frame, and a rack connected to the bottom of the connecting plate through a connecting rod.
[0007] Preferably, a guide groove is provided on the top of the cooling tray between the guide rails, and the connecting rod is located in the guide groove.
[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is rotatably provided between the inner walls of the guide groove via a connecting block, a gear is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the gear is engaged with the rack.
[0009] Preferably, a corner bracket is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame.
[0010] Preferably, a spiral groove is opened on the front side of the cooling tray, and the spiral groove is connected to the guide groove.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably provided in the rotating groove, and an umbrella wheel assembly is connected between the rear side of the rotating rod and the rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, a heptagonal knob is provided on the front side of the rotating rod.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] The utility model provides an elastically rotatable clamping member. When the worker needs to place the forging, the weight of the forging drives the upper end of the clamping roller to open. Then, during the cooling period, the elastic member exerts an extrusion force on the clamping roller, which continuously limits the forging to prevent it from rolling randomly.
[0015] The utility model also provides an angle bracket on the inner side of the clamping piece. The angle shape of the bracket is designed to accurately match the size and shape of different blanks, ensuring that the blank can maintain an accurate position during the cooling process, providing further support and positioning for the forging, and ensuring its stable placement during the cooling process.
[0016] The utility model also provides a slidably adjustable fixing frame so that it can adapt to the position limiting of forgings of different lengths. At the same time, a series of fastening mechanisms are provided to indirectly adjust the fixing frame. By providing a mechanical structure instead of electrical components, the forgings can be fixed and cooled, avoiding the instability and damage of electrical components in a high temperature environment, and improving the reliability and efficiency of the forging cooling process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 The forging cooling fixture shown in the figure includes a box body 1, a plurality of hinges 2 are rotatably provided in the box body 1, a cooling tray 3 is installed on the front side of the hinge 2, a guide rail 4 is symmetrically provided on the top of the cooling tray 3, two fixing frames 5 are slidably provided between the guide rails 4, a clamping member 6 is elastically rotatably connected to the top of the fixing frame 5, a connecting plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame 5, and a rack 9 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 7 through a connecting rod 8; a guide groove 10 is provided on the top of the cooling tray 3 between the guide rails 4, The connecting rod 8 is located in the guide groove 10; a rotating shaft 12 is rotatably provided between the inner walls of the guide groove 10 through a connecting block 11, a gear 13 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 12, and the gear 13 is engaged with the rack 9; an angle bracket 14 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 5; a rotating groove 15 is opened on the front side of the cooling tray 3, and the rotating groove 15 is connected to the guide groove 10; a rotating rod 16 is rotatably provided in the rotating groove 15, and an umbrella wheel assembly 17 is connected between the rear side of the rotating rod 16 and the rotating shaft 12; a seven-angled knob 18 is provided on the front side of the rotating rod 16.
[0027] The present invention provides an elastically rotatable clamping member 6. When the staff needs to place the forging, the upper end of the clamping roller is driven to open by the weight of the forging, and then the extrusion force brought to the clamping roller by the elastic member during the cooling period is used to continuously limit the forging to prevent it from rolling at will; the present invention also provides an angled bracket 14 on the inner side of the clamping member 6. The angled shape design accurately matches the size and shape of different blanks to ensure that the blanks can maintain an accurate position during the cooling process, provide further support and limitation for the forging, and ensure its stable placement during the cooling process; the present invention also provides a slidably adjustable fixing frame 5, so that it can adapt to forgings of different lengths while limiting the position, and also provides a series of fastening mechanisms to indirectly adjust the fixing frame 5, and by providing a mechanical structure instead of electrical components, the forging is fixed and cooled, avoiding the instability and damage of electrical components in high temperature environments, and improving the reliability and efficiency of the forging cooling process.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 The forging cooling and fixing fixture shown includes a box body 1, in which a rotating cooling mechanism is arranged. A plurality of hinges 2 are arranged by rotation. A cooling tray 3 is installed on the front side of the hinge 2. The cooling tray 3 is used to load forgings. Then, the cooling mechanism rotates to drive the cooling tray 3 to rotate through the hinge 2. The cooling tray 3 drives each forging to rotate in the box body 1. The rotation drives the cold air inside to circulate faster, thereby improving its cooling efficiency.
[0030] When the cooling mechanism drives the forging to revolve, it also drives the cooling tray 3 to rotate under the influence of gravity to maintain its own balance, or, under the setting of a series of gears 13, drives the cooling tray 3 to rotate and adjust continuously to maintain a horizontal state, thereby ensuring the stability of the forging when it is driven to rotate and cool. However, forgings have different shapes and specifications. Square billets can be placed stably on the cooling tray 3 by relying on the flat surface of their bottom, but another common cylindrical billet is prone to rolling on the cooling tray 3 and cannot be cooled stably. Therefore, based on this background, this embodiment will provide a fixed limit setting for the cylindrical billet, so that it can be stably fixed on the cooling tray 3 to receive cooling, thereby improving the cooling adaptability for billets of different specifications.
[0031] The top of the cooling tray 3 is symmetrically provided with guide rails 4, and a fixed frame 5 is symmetrically slidable between the guide rails 4. The top of the fixed frame 5 is elastically connected to a clamping member 6. Specifically, a sliding rod is provided in the fixed frame 5 through the elastic member. At the same time, a clamping roller is symmetrically hinged to the fixed frame 5. The lower part of the clamping roller is hinged to the upper end of the sliding rod. In the initial state, the sliding rod will remain downward under the action of the elastic member, and the clamping roller is hinged to the state where the upper ends are close to each other. Then, when the staff needs to place the forging, they directly place the forging between the tops of the clamping members 6, and rely on their own weight to drive the upper end of the clamping roller to open. Then, the forging can fall between the clamping rollers to complete the fixation of the forging. At this time, the elastic member is compressed; during the cooling period, the elastic member brings the extrusion pressure to the clamping roller to continuously limit the forging; after the forging is taken out after cooling, the elastic member resets to drive the clamping roller to close.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated forging cooling fixture places the forging between the tops of the clamping rollers 6 when it is needed. The forging's weight then drives the upper ends of the clamping rollers to open. During cooling, the forging is continuously held in place by the extrusion force applied by the elastic members to the clamping rollers. Furthermore, this embodiment includes an angled bracket 14 on the upper inner side of the fixing frame 5 to provide further support and position control for the forging. The angled bracket 14 precisely matches the size and shape of different blanks, ensuring that the blank maintains its correct position during cooling. It also prevents the blank from shifting or rolling during its orbital and rotational motions, ensuring stability during cooling.
[0034] Example 4
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 A forging cooling and fixing fixture shown in the figure takes into account that during the cooling process, cold medium and hot medium will exist simultaneously in the box 1. The constant alternation of cold and hot will cause the temperature in the box 1 to fluctuate. This temperature may cause thermal stress in the material inside the electrical component, thereby causing material fatigue or performance degradation. For some temperature-sensitive electrical components, it may also cause their performance to be unstable or fail. From a physical perspective, the alternation of cold and hot may also cause condensation inside the box 1, forming water droplets or ice crystals that accumulate on the surface or inside the electrical component, affecting its heat dissipation performance or causing a short circuit.
[0036] Therefore, this embodiment provides an adjustable spacing between the fixing brackets 5 to accommodate forgings of different lengths, and also provides a fastening mechanism supported by non-electrical components to prevent the fastening mechanism from being damaged and affecting cooling. Specifically:
[0037] A connecting plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame 5. A rack 9 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 7 via a connecting rod 8. That is, two racks 9 are symmetrically staggered at the bottom of the cooling tray 3. When the racks 9 move, the fixing frame 5 can be driven to move via the connecting plate 7, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two fixing frames 5 and achieving adaptation to the upper forgings. Accordingly, a guide groove 10 is provided on the cooling tray 3 at the middle of the guide rail 4. The connecting rod 8 and the connecting plate 7 both slide in the guide groove 10. A rotating shaft 12 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the guide groove 10 through a connecting block 11. A gear 13 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 12. The gear 13 is located between the racks 9 and meshes with the racks 9. When the gear 13 rotates forward and reverse, it can drive the racks 9 to move left and right accordingly, thereby indirectly achieving adjustment of the spacing of the fixing frames 5.
[0038] A rotary groove 15 is provided on the front side of the cooling tray 3. The rotary groove 15 is specifically a vertical cylindrical hollow groove, and the rotary groove 15 is connected to the guide groove 10. Then, when the rotary groove 15 rotates, a rotary rod 16 is provided. A seven-cornered knob 18 is provided on the front side of the rotary rod 16. Umbrella wheels are provided on the rear side of the rotary rod 16 with sufficient length and on the upper part of the rotating shaft 12. The umbrella wheels engage with each other to form an umbrella wheel assembly 17. By rotating the seven-cornered knob 18, the rotary rod 16 can be driven to engage, and the umbrella wheel can be driven to rotate and engage, and then the rotating shaft 12, the gear 13 and all subsequent components are driven to operate, so as to adjust the spacing of the fixed frame 5.
