Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of die steel preparation and processing, in particular to a die steel heat treatment and tempering device. Background Art

[0002] Die steel is used to manufacture molds such as cold stamping dies, hot forging dies, and die-casting dies. The quality and service life of die steel are primarily influenced by the mold material and heat treatment, also known as tempering. Heat treatment, also known as tempering, is crucial to industrial production. Die steel's performance and service life typically must meet the high strength and wear resistance requirements of the mold during operation.

[0003] In existing technology, mold steel heat treatment typically involves placing the steel directly into a furnace, spraying heated hot air horizontally onto the steel, then collecting it through circulating air and reheating it. However, due to the relatively large furnace space, the energy from the horizontally blown hot air is difficult to evenly distribute across the mold steel surface. This results in uneven heating of the workpiece, inconsistent quality after heat treatment, and variations in hardness and wear resistance across different areas of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to design a dedicated mold steel heat treatment and tempering device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and in the abstract and title of the utility model to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of the utility model, and such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a mold steel heat treatment and tempering device to solve the problems of the mold steel heat treatment and tempering device in the prior art proposed in the above background technology, such as uneven heating of the workpiece, unstable quality after heat treatment, and differences in hardness and wear resistance in different areas of the product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. For ease of illustration, cross-sectional views of device structures may be partially enlarged and not to scale when describing the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Figure 1-Figure 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the entire structure of a die steel heat treatment and tempering device of the utility model, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , a mold steel heat treatment and tempering device in this embodiment includes a base frame 100, a horizontal heat treatment furnace 200 of at least one unit is arranged on the upper end of the base frame 100, the interior of the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200 is divided into multiple tempering chambers 210 along its length direction, a heat collecting chamber 220 is provided above the tempering chamber 210, an air outlet window 230 is provided between the heat collecting chamber 220 and the tempering chamber 210, a plurality of randomly distributed trapezoidal support piers 240 are arranged at the bottom of the tempering chamber 210, and an exhaust hole 250 is provided in the center of the bottom of the tempering chamber 210; a circulating heating component 300 connects the exhaust hole 250 and the heat collecting chamber 220 through a pipeline, and realizes hot air circulation through suction and heating.

[0022] The height of the trapezoidal support pier 240 and the heat collecting chamber 220 is between 3cm and 5cm, and the top surface area of ​​the trapezoidal support pier 240 is less than or equal to 8mm. 2, a spoiler net 260 is also provided inside the air outlet window 230. It can be understood that the trapezoidal support pier 240 is used to set up the mold steel, so that there is a relatively thin and flat space distance between the mold steel and the bottom of the tempering chamber 210. Similarly, the height of the heat collecting chamber 220 is compressed, so that the input hot air flow can be more evenly sprayed into the tempering chamber 210 through the air outlet window 230 and the spoiler net 260; specifically, during the tempering heat treatment, the hot air flow pressurized into the heat collecting chamber 220 will be compressed and dispersed, and evenly sprayed from top to bottom to the tempering chamber 210 through the air outlet window 230 and the spoiler net 260. At the upper part of the mold steel in the firing chamber 210, at the same time, under the guidance of the circulating airflow, the hot air will pass through the narrow passages around the tempering chamber 210 and effectively contact and heat the surrounding sides of the mold steel. The hot air is then sucked to the bottom and fully contacts the bottom surface of the mold steel under the turbulence and spatial compression of the trapezoidal support pier 240, and is converged and discharged through the center point, so that the surface of the workpiece is fully and evenly heated. Compared with traditional tempering furnace heat treatment, it is easier to control the quality of product heat treatment, ensuring the specifications and performance of the mold steel.

[0023] The circulating heating assembly 300 includes an exhaust pipe 310 connected to each exhaust hole 250 at the bottom of the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200; a return air pipe 320 connected to each heat collection chamber 220 at the top of the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200 and connected to the exhaust pipe 310 at one end; and a fan 330 and a heater 340 connected in series to the return air pipe 320. A controller 400, the master control unit of the heat treatment and tempering device, is also located on one side of the base frame 100. It is understood that temperature sensors should be installed within the return air pipe 320 or the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200. The controller 400 controls the output power of the heater 340 and the operation of the fan 330 based on temperature fluctuations within the furnace. This allows for simultaneous heat circulation and temperature control of all tempering chambers 210, resulting in a simple and effective solution.

[0024] Furthermore, the front of the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200 is further provided with a plurality of door panels 270 corresponding to the respective tempering chambers 210. By opening and closing the door panels 270, the mold steel can be conveniently placed in and taken out of the tempering chamber 210.

[0025] Furthermore, the base frame 100 is provided with a plurality of support legs 110 at the bottom, and a plurality of avoidance holes corresponding to the exhaust holes 250 are provided on the base frame 100. The base frame 100, in conjunction with the support legs 110, can be used to elevate the horizontal heat treatment furnace 200, and the installation height can be set according to needs, making the device more convenient to use.

[0026] In summary, in a mold steel heat treatment and tempering device according to the present embodiment, during the tempering heat treatment, the hot air flow that is pressurized and sent into the heat collecting chamber 220 will be compressed and dispersed, and will be evenly sprayed from top to bottom to the upper part of the mold steel in the tempering chamber 210 through the air outlet window 230 and the spoiler net 260. At the same time, under the guidance of the circulating airflow, the hot air will pass through the narrow passages around the tempering chamber 210 and form effective contact and heating on the surrounding side of the mold steel. The hot air is then sucked to the bottom and forms full contact with the bottom surface of the mold steel under the turbulence and spatial compression of the trapezoidal support pier 240, and is converged and discharged through the center point, so that the surface of the workpiece is fully and evenly heated. Compared with the traditional tempering furnace heat treatment, it is easier to control the quality of product heat treatment.

[0027] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
