Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metal heat treatment equipment, in particular to a high-efficiency quenching automation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Medium and high frequency quenching is used for surface heat treatment of metal parts. The depth of the quenching layer is generally about 2 to 4 mm. The advantage of this process is that it can harden the surface of the part and increase the wear resistance of the part, while the internal material of the part still maintains its original performance. For some special-shaped metal rods, the head is large and the tail is slender. When quenching the tail, the complexity of its structure makes it difficult to transport and position the metal rod, resulting in low quenching efficiency and inaccurate quenching position, which ultimately has an adverse effect on product quality. Therefore, it is necessary to produce a high-efficiency quenching automation equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a high-efficiency quenching automation equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A high-efficiency quenching automation equipment includes a frame, a loading mechanism, an arranging and conveying mechanism, a rotating conveying mechanism, a positioning mechanism, an induction heating mechanism and a unloading mechanism. A workbench is horizontally provided on the frame. The rotating conveying mechanism includes a rotating drive assembly, a rotating platform and a fixed enclosure.

A plurality of groups of placement slots are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating platform. The arranging and conveying mechanism includes a mounting base, a straight vibrator, a conveying rail and a limit baffle. The straight vibrator is fixed above the mounting base. The conveying rail is vertically arranged and fixed at the lower end. Fixed at the power output end of the straight vibrator, the right side of the conveying track is inclined upward and docked with the feeding mechanism, the left side of the conveying track is docked with the right edge of the rotating platform, and two groups of conveying tracks are arranged along the front and rear directions. The limit baffle is mounted above the two groups of conveying tracks. The positioning mechanism includes a feeding sensor, a cylinder and a positioning plate. The feeding sensor is fixed on the fixed enclosure and the sensing end faces the placement slot. The cylinder is fixed on the fixed enclosure, the rear end of the positioning plate is fixed on the cylinder, and the front end of the positioning plate corresponds to the upper left end of the conveying track. The left and right sides of the positioning plate are provided with inclined surfaces. The induction heating mechanism and the unloading mechanism are both fixed on the frame and are sequentially arranged downstream of the conveying of the rotating platform.

[0007] Further description of the utility model: The unloading mechanism includes a unloading plate and a unloading pipe.

The middle part of the unloading plate corresponds to the top of the placement slot. The unloading pipe is fixed under the workbench and the upper end is connected to the unloading hole.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: special-shaped metal bars are conveyed to the right end of the arrangement and conveying mechanism through the loading mechanism.

After the positioning of the bar is completed, the rotary drive assembly drives the rotary platform to rotate and transport the bar to the subsequent induction heating mechanism to quench the tail of the bar. After quenching is completed, it is transported to the unloading mechanism for unloading and collection. The advantage of this design is that it can automatically arrange and transport special-shaped bar materials and position them to improve the efficiency and accuracy of quenching, thereby improving the quality of the product.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a high-efficiency quenching automation equipment includes a frame 1, a loading mechanism 2, an arranging and conveying mechanism 3, a rotating conveying mechanism 4, a positioning mechanism 5, an induction heating mechanism 6 and a unloading mechanism 7. A workbench 11 is horizontally provided on the frame 1, and the rotating conveying mechanism 4 includes a rotating drive component 41, a rotating platform 42 and a fixed enclosure 43. The rotating drive component 41 is fixed on the frame 1, and the rotating platform 42 is fixed to the power output end of the rotating drive component 41. The fixed enclosure 43 is fixed on the workbench 11 and corresponds to the outer periphery of the rotating platform 42. A plurality of groups of placement grooves 421 are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating platform 42. The arranging and conveying mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 31, a straight vibrator 32, a conveying rail 33 and a limit baffle 34. The straight vibrator 32 is fixed above the mounting base 31, and the conveying rail 33 is vertically arranged and lowered. The end is fixed at the power output end of the straight vibrator 32, the right side of the conveying track 33 is tilted upward and docked with the loading mechanism 2, the left side of the conveying track 33 is docked with the right edge of the rotating platform 42, and two groups of conveying tracks 33 are arranged along the front and rear directions. The limit baffle 34 is erected above the two groups of conveying tracks 33, and the positioning mechanism 5 includes a loading sensor 51, a cylinder 52 and a positioning plate 53. The loading sensor 51 is fixed on the fixed enclosure 43 and the sensing end faces the placement slot 421. The cylinder 52 is fixed on the fixed enclosure 43, and the rear end of the positioning plate 53 is fixed on the cylinder 52. The front end of the positioning plate 53 corresponds to the upper left end of the conveying track 33. The left and right sides of the positioning plate 53 are provided with inclined surfaces. The induction heating mechanism 6 and the unloading mechanism 7 are both fixed on the frame 1 and are sequentially arranged on the conveying downstream of the rotating platform 42.

[0020] The special-shaped metal bars are conveyed to the right end of the arrangement conveying mechanism 3 through the loading mechanism 2. Since the head of the bar is large and the tail is slender, the direction of the bar is not consistent when it is conveyed to the right end of the arrangement conveying mechanism 3. When it is conveyed to the conveying track 33, the head of the bar is placed on the conveying track 33 on both sides. Under the action of gravity, the tail automatically flips under the head, so that the bar is placed in a vertical direction and neatly arranged on the conveying track 33 for conveyance. The conveying power is provided by the straight vibrator 32, and the straight vibrator 32 drives the conveying track 33 to vibrate regularly, so that the bar is conveyed to the left. The limit baffle 34 can prevent individual bars with the tail facing upward from passing through. The bar with the tail facing upward is flipped after its tail contacts the limit baffle 34, so that the tail faces upward. Towards the bottom, the bar is conveyed from the left end of the conveying track 33 to the placement slot 421. The head of the bar is placed above the edge of the placement slot 421, and the tail is inserted through the placement slot 421. After the loading sensor 51 senses that the bar has entered the placement hole, the cylinder 52 drives the positioning plate 53 to move to one side of the bar. The positioning plate 53 is inserted between the two groups of bar materials. On the one hand, it places the bar in the placement slot 421 in place, and on the other hand, it blocks the subsequent group of bar materials from entering the placement slot 421. After the positioning of the bar is completed, the rotary drive assembly 41 drives the rotary platform 42 to rotate and convey the bar to the subsequent induction heating mechanism 6 to quench the tail of the bar. After quenching, it is conveyed to the unloading mechanism 7 for unloading and collection. The advantage of this design is that it can automatically arrange and convey special-shaped bar materials and position them to improve the efficiency and accuracy of quenching, thereby improving the quality of the product.

[0021] The induction heating mechanism 6 includes a first lifting drive component 61, an upper pressure rod 62, a quenching box 63, a second lifting drive component 64, a connecting frame 65, a lower pressure rod 66, a control box 67 and a heating coil 68. The first lifting drive component 61 is fixed on the frame 1 and corresponds to the top of the workbench 11. The upper pressure rod 62 is fixed at the power output end of the first lifting drive component 61 and corresponds to the top of the placement slot 421. The lower end of the upper pressure rod 62 is a cone. The quenching box 63 is fixed below the workbench 11. The upper and lower sides of the quenching box 63 are respectively provided with a water inlet interface and a water outlet interface. The second lifting drive assembly 64 is fixed on the frame 1 and corresponds to the bottom of the workbench 11. One end of the connecting frame 65 is fixed on the second lifting drive assembly 64, and the other end is passed through the quenching box 63. The lower pressure rod 66 corresponds to the quenching box 63. The lower end of the lower pressure rod 66 is fixed on the connecting frame 65. The upper end of the lower pressure rod 66 is a cone and corresponds to the bottom of the placement slot 421. The control box 67 is fixed on the power output end of the second lifting drive assembly 64. One end of the heating coil 68 is electrically connected to the control box 67, and the other end is passed through the quenching box 63 and surrounds the outer periphery of the lower pressure rod 66.

[0022] When the rod is transported to the bottom of the upper pressure rod 62, the first lifting drive assembly 61 drives the upper pressure rod 62 to descend, and the lower end of the upper pressure rod 62 presses the upper end of the rod, and then the second lifting drive assembly 64 simultaneously drives the connecting frame 65, the lower pressure rod 66, the control box 67 and the heating coil 68 to rise, and the lower pressure rod 66 presses the bottom of the rod, and then controls the heating coil 68 through the control box 67 to induction heat the tail of the rod. After the heating is completed, the water pipe installed at the water inlet interface of the quenching box 63 sprays water to cool the heating position, and the water flows out through the water outlet interface. Two sets of rotating motors can also be set to drive the upper pressure rod 62 and the lower pressure rod 66 to rotate synchronously, so that the rod is heated and cooled during rotation, making the quenching more uniform.

[0023] The unloading mechanism 7 includes a unloading plate 71 and a unloading pipe 72. A unloading hole 431 is provided on the fixed enclosure 43. The unloading hole 431 corresponds to the outer side of the placement groove 421. The unloading plate 71 is vertically fixed on the fixed enclosure 43 and the angle is adjustable. The unloading plate 71 is inclined outward along the conveying direction. The middle part of the unloading plate 71 corresponds to the top of the placement groove 421. The unloading pipe 72 is fixed under the workbench 11 and the upper end is connected to the unloading hole 431.

[0024] When the quenched bar material is transported to the contact discharge plate 71, it gradually moves to the outside of the placement groove 421 under the action of the discharge plate 71, and finally leaves the placement groove 421 and enters the discharge pipe 72 through the drop hole 431, and falls into the collection container from the outlet of the discharge pipe 72.

[0025] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
