[0028] Work flow, here taking three induction heating equipment in the figure as an example, the actual working condition is different from this and adaptive change is made:

[0029] 1. Turn on the power supply and water source;

[0030] 2. Start the workpiece flow line, the workpiece flow line forwards the workpiece, when the first workpiece reaches below the first inductor 13, the workpiece flow line stops moving, and moves to the workpiece heating position under the drive of the push rod 16, starts heating the workpiece, and the temperature probe 8 detects the temperature of the workpiece;

[0031] 3. When the heating time is reached, the first inductor 13 rises, the workpiece flow line moves forward by one station, the first inductor 13 and the second inductor 13 fall down, the workpiece below the first inductor 13 is heated to the first level, and the workpiece below the second inductor 13 is heated to the second level;

[0033] 5. Thereafter, each workpiece is heated to three levels.

[0034] Advantages:

[0035] The single-stage heating mode needs a long time to reach the requirement of the shell heating process, and is not convenient for the design of the workpiece assembly line. The heating time is divided into multiple parts, that is, the multi-stage heating mode, the multi-stage heating is carried out in series, and the total heating time of a single shell in multi-stage heating is the same as that of the single-stage heating. At this time, the heating process of the shell is divided into multiple series, and the heating time of the shell in each stage is one divided by the single-stage heating, and the production speed of the whole production line is multiplied by the single-stage heating.

[0036] The multi-stage heating mode can adjust the temperature rising rate of each stage of the shell by controlling the output power of the heating inductor of each stage, and different heating methods can be used for different materials and shapes of the shell to obtain the best heating effect.

[0037] The inductor itself generates heat when working, so the inductor is internally provided with cooling water. However, the cooling effect of the cooling water will decrease obviously after a long time of work. The multi-stage heating mode avoids long-time work of a single inductor, prolongs the service life of the inductor, and shortens the maintenance time of the device.

[0038] The temperature control precision is high, the whole workpiece is uniformly heated, and the heat treatment quality of the workpiece is improved.

[0039] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the overall concept of the present application, some changes and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection range of the present application.
