Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quenching tooling technology, and in particular to a hoisting tooling for quenching ring-shaped parts. Background Technology

[0002] Quenching is a heat treatment process in which a workpiece is heated to above its critical temperature, held at that temperature for a period of time to induce complete or partial austenitization, and then rapidly cooled at a rate greater than the critical cooling rate to induce martensitic or bainitic transformation. The purpose of quenching is to induce martensitic or bainitic transformation in supercooled austenite, resulting in a martensitic or bainitic microstructure. This is then followed by tempering at different temperatures to significantly improve the rigidity, hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength, and toughness of the steel, thereby meeting the diverse application requirements of various mechanical parts and tools.

[0003] The quenching of ring-shaped parts differs from that of other parts. Because ring-shaped parts typically bear bending, torsion, and radial and axial loads, special attention must be paid during quenching to ensure the roundness and dimensional stability of the ring, while minimizing deformation and internal stress. Furthermore, to achieve uniform hardness and good mechanical properties...

[0004] In most cases, when quenching existing ring-shaped parts, the parts are directly suspended by a chain through the inner ring. The contact area between the ring-shaped part and the chain is extremely small. Excessive quenching pressure can easily cause the ring-shaped part to deform and crack. It can also lead to uneven hardness distribution after quenching, affecting the overall performance. When the ring-shaped part comes out of the furnace, the temperature is extremely high, reaching more than 900 degrees Celsius. The operator needs to be in close contact with the ring-shaped part when threading the chain, which increases the safety risk.

[0005] In other existing technologies, such as the lifting fixture for workpiece surface quenching described in patent application number CN202120899369.6, the fixture clamps ring-shaped parts onto the fixture by installing bolts on the inner side of its annular body. While commercially available annular parts generally have positioning holes on their sides, the size, shape, and number of these holes vary. Using this fixture to clamp annular parts requires specific dimensions and structures for the positioning holes on the sides of the annular parts, resulting in low applicability and poor flexibility. Furthermore, because bolts need to be inserted into the positioning holes for fixation, the annular part is relatively large compared to the bolts during quenching, resulting in a small contact area between each bolt and the annular part. Excessive pressure during quenching can easily cause deformation and cracking of the annular part, reducing its quality after quenching.

[0006] For example, a quenching and hoisting tool for large ring-shaped parts, patent application number CN201420671822.8, requires the square tube to be extended into place, the moving hoist to contact the fixed lifting ring, and the force applied to the circular tube. The workpiece must then be horizontally hoisted out for quenching. This is inconvenient when clamping ring-shaped parts, takes a long time, and requires the parts to be placed in a heat treatment furnace before clamping. In the furnace, due to the high temperature, the operator can only observe and operate from a distance, making clamping difficult. Utility Model Content

[0007] To improve the product quality of ring-shaped parts after quenching, this basic solution provides a lifting fixture for quenching ring-shaped parts.

[0008] A lifting fixture for quenching ring-shaped parts includes a lifting ring, a first base plate, a second base plate, a first set of movable ropes, a second set of movable ropes, and multiple limiting blocks. One end of the first set of movable ropes is fixedly installed on the first base plate, and the other end is fixedly installed on the lifting ring. The first set of movable ropes includes multiple first movable ropes, and a first passage space for the ring-shaped part to pass through is formed between two adjacent first movable ropes. One end of the second set of movable ropes is fixedly installed on the second base plate, and the other end is fixedly installed on the lifting ring. The second set of movable ropes includes multiple second movable ropes, and a second passage space for the ring-shaped part to pass through is formed between two adjacent second movable ropes. The first base plate and the second base plate are located on the same horizontal plane. The first and second base plates are in an open / closed state, forming a quenching gap between them. This gap is used for quenching the bottom surface of the ring-shaped parts. Multiple limiting blocks are fixedly installed on both the first and second base plates, forming a flat space for placing the ring-shaped parts. The ring-shaped parts are placed flat on the first and second base plates. The limiting blocks are located close to the edges of the first and second base plates, and clamping gaps are provided between the limiting blocks and the edges of the first and second base plates. The width of the clamping gaps is not less than 50 mm and not more than 200 mm. The clamping gaps provided on the first and second base plates are used to clamp the first and second base plates into the heat treatment furnace.

[0009] Beneficial effects: Compared with existing technologies, the structure of this basic solution is different. First, by setting a first base plate and a second base plate on the same horizontal plane, the ring-shaped parts can be placed flat on the first base plate and the second base plate. The parts are subjected to uniform force, the products are less prone to deformation, the hardness distribution is more uniform, and the quality of the ring-shaped parts after quenching is improved.

[0010] Secondly, operators do not need to have close contact with the ring-shaped parts, which reduces the labor intensity of operators and the safety risks of working in high-temperature environments for a long time.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second base plates can be opened and closed to increase the area for placing the flat plate, making it suitable for common ring-shaped parts on the market. It does not have any special requirements for the structure of the ring-shaped parts, making it highly applicable and flexible.

[0012] Meanwhile, by setting up multiple through-spaces for ring-shaped parts to pass through and place on the base plate, there is no need to operate in a heat treatment furnace, making clamping simple and improving clamping efficiency.

[0013] Next, the clamping gap width is between 50-200mm, which not only increases the contact area with the heat treatment furnace, making the clamping more stable, but also ensures that the limited area on the base plate can accommodate the placement of various ring-shaped parts of different specifications.

[0014] Finally, the tooling can be reused, the tooling components are simple, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.

[0015] Preferably, a semi-circular pull ring is fixedly installed on one side of the first base plate, and the semi-circular pull ring is close to the clamping gap; a semi-circular pull ring is also fixedly installed on one side of the first base plate, and the semi-circular pull ring is close to the clamping gap; the two semi-circular lifting rings located on different sides of the base plate are symmetrically distributed along the central axis between the first base plate and the second base plate.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The semi-circular pull ring is used to facilitate the operator to pull the base plate, so that the first base plate and the second base plate are in an open and closed state, and can also position the heat treatment furnace, so that the base plate can be better inserted into the heat treatment furnace.

[0017] Preferably, the radius of the semicircular pull ring is not less than 50mm and not more than 100mm.

[0018] Beneficial effects: When the radius of the semicircular pull ring is greater than 100mm, the area in the heat treatment furnace for clamping the tooling is limited due to the proximity of the pull ring to the clamping gap. A larger radius results in a smaller clamping gap, leading to a smaller contact area with the heat treatment furnace and increasing the risk of loose clamping and detachment of ring-shaped parts. Conversely, a radius less than 50mm makes it difficult for operators to pull the pull ring. Therefore, a radius of 50-100mm not only increases the clamping gap length, resulting in a larger contact area between the base plate and the heat treatment furnace for improved tooling stability, but also facilitates the operation of the pull ring to separate the first and second base plates.

[0019] Preferably, the first movable rope and the second movable rope are respectively a first wire rope and a second wire rope; the length of the first wire rope and the second wire rope is not more than 5000mm and not less than 2000mm.

[0020] Beneficial effects: When the length of the movable rope is greater than 5000mm, it becomes more difficult to pull up the entire fixture due to the lever principle. However, if the length of the movable rope is less than 2000mm, there are limitations on the height of ring-shaped parts. Therefore, when the length of the movable rope is 2000-5000mm, it is not only easier to pull up the fixture, but it also allows most ring-shaped parts on the market to be placed on the bottom plate.

[0021] Preferably, two limiting blocks are installed on each base plate, and the two limiting blocks are arranged in a figure-eight shape; a friction block is laid between the two limiting blocks.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The two limiting blocks are in the shape of an "eight". Compared with other shapes of limiting blocks, since the tooling mainly places ring-shaped parts, the outer ring radius of ring parts of different specifications will be different. The "eight" shaped limiting blocks can satisfy the limiting of various ring parts of different specifications. At the same time, it increases the area of ​​the flat space, so that various ring parts of different specifications can be placed in the space surrounded by the limiting blocks.

[0023] Preferably, the distance between the two limiting blocks is 700mm.

[0024] Beneficial effects: It can be used to place various sizes of different types of parts.

[0025] Preferably, the height of the limiting block is not less than 100mm and not more than 300mm.

[0026] Beneficial effects: If the height of the limiting block is less than 100mm, it is difficult to effectively limit the movement of ordinary ring-shaped parts. If the height of the limiting block is greater than 300mm, it increases the weight of the entire fixture, and the pressure from the limiting block on the base plate when it is lifted is greater. Furthermore, placing the ring-shaped parts flat on the two base plates increases the risk of the movable rope breaking due to the weight of the limiting block and the ring-shaped parts. Therefore, a limiting block height of 100-300mm not only provides effective limiting but also reduces the overall weight of the fixture, lightens the burden on the base plate and the movable rope, and prevents the risk of damage to the movable rope.

[0027] Preferably, the friction block is trapezoidal and is used to conform to the bottom surface contour of the ring-shaped part.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The friction block is trapezoidal, which can fit the bottom contour of the ring-shaped part over a large area, making the ring-shaped part less likely to fall off and enhancing the stability of the ring-shaped part when placed on two base plates.

[0029] Preferably, the area of ​​the quenching gap is 0.4m². 2 It accounts for 70% of the bottom surface area of ​​ring-shaped parts.

[0030] Beneficial effect: The area of ​​the quenching gap is 0.4m².2 The quenching gap area accounts for 70% of the bottom surface area of ​​the ring-shaped part. This provides sufficient area for quenching, but if the area is too large, the ring-shaped part is prone to detaching from the two base plates, damaging it. If the area is too small, the quenching speed will be slow, easily reducing quenching efficiency. Therefore, the quenching area is 0.4m². 2 This not only ensures the quenching efficiency of ring-shaped parts, but also prevents the risk of ring-shaped parts falling off and being damaged due to excessive quenching gaps.

[0031] Preferably, the first base plate and the second base plate are respectively a first steel plate and a second steel plate.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The steel plate can withstand high temperatures without deformation or damage, making it suitable for the high-temperature environment required during quenching. The steel plate provides robust support, ensuring that it will not bend or break when handling heavy-duty ring-shaped parts, thus guaranteeing the safety and stability of the machining process.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a hoisting fixture for quenching ring-shaped parts 4, including a lifting ring 1, a first base plate 6, a second base plate 7, a first set of movable ropes 2, a second set of movable ropes 3, and four limiting blocks 5.

[0042] Specifically, one end of the first set of movable ropes 2 is fixedly installed on the first base plate 6, and the other end is fixedly installed on the lifting ring 1. The first set of movable ropes 2 includes two first movable ropes, and a first passage space is formed between two adjacent first movable ropes for the ring-shaped part 4 to pass through. One end of the second set of movable ropes 3 is fixedly installed on the second base plate 7, and the other end is fixedly installed on the lifting ring 1. The second set of movable ropes 3 includes two second movable ropes, and a second passage space is formed between two adjacent second movable ropes for the ring-shaped part 4 to pass through. A third passage space is also formed between two adjacent first and second movable ropes for the ring-shaped part 4 to pass through. This provides multiple passage spaces, allowing the movable ropes to pass through the ring-shaped part from any four sides (front, back, left, right), facilitating the placement of the ring-shaped part 4 on the base plate. The first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 are located on the same horizontal plane and are in an open / closed state. A quenching gap is formed between the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 for quenching the bottom surface of the ring-shaped part 4. The space formed between the first base plate 6, the second base plate 7, the lifting ring 1, and the movable rope can be a cone structure, with the lifting ring 1 being the cone at the top. The first movable rope and the second movable rope are respectively the first wire rope and the second wire rope; the lengths of the first wire rope and the second wire rope are not more than 5000mm and not less than 2000mm.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, two limiting blocks 5 are fixedly installed on the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 respectively. The four limiting blocks 5 surround each other to form a flat space for placing the ring-shaped part 4; the ring-shaped part 4 is placed flat on the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7. Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the two limiting blocks 5 is e, where e = 700 mm. A semi-circular pull ring 8 is also fixedly installed on the left side of the first base plate 6, close to the clamping gap. A semi-circular pull ring 8 is also fixedly installed on the right side of the second base plate 7, also close to the clamping gap; the two semi-circular lifting rings 1 located on different sides of the base plates are symmetrically distributed along the central axis between the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7. The radius of the semi-circular pull ring 8 is b, which is not less than 50 mm and not more than 100 mm. In this embodiment, b = 100 mm.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting block 5 is located close to the edges of the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7, respectively, and a clamping gap is left between the limiting block 5 and the edges of the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7; wherein the width of the clamping gap is 'a', which is not less than 50mm and not more than 200mm. In this embodiment, a = 200mm. The width of the quenching gap is 'd', which = 500mm, and the area of ​​the quenching gap is 0.4m². 2 The height of the limit block 5 is c, where 100 ≤ c ≤ 300 mm.

[0045] The clamping gaps provided in the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 are used to clamp the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 into the heat treatment furnace 10, respectively. The heat treatment furnace 10 is prior art, and its model is a natural gas bogie hearth furnace. Figure 4 As shown, the heat treatment furnace 10 is provided with a clamping area 11, which is used to support the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 respectively. In this embodiment, the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 have the same structural dimensions, and the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 are the first steel plate and the second steel plate respectively.

[0046] The usage method of this embodiment

[0047] S1. Attach the lifting ring 1 to the crane hook, thereby lifting the two base plates. Under the traction of the wire rope, the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 are in a closed, mutually abutting state. Then, pass the ring-shaped part 4 to be processed through the movable rope. Even if it touches the wire rope, it will not damage the outer surface of the ring-shaped part 4. Next, place the ring-shaped part 4 in the flat space surrounded by the limiting block 5, supported by the base plate.

[0048] S2, the crane is driven to the vicinity of the heat treatment furnace 10, and the base plate is aligned parallel to the clamping area 11 of the heat treatment furnace 10. The operator uses an iron hook to hook the semi-circular pull ring 8 to separate the two base plates. Separating the two base plates is to align the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7 with the clamping area 11 of the heat treatment furnace 10, respectively. Then, the crane pushes the fixture into the clamping area 11, where the clamping gap of the fixture is located within the clamping area 11. At this time, there is a gap between the first base plate 6 and the second base plate 7. This gap is the quenching gap, which is used for quenching the bottom surface of the ring-shaped part 4.

[0049] S3, the ring-shaped part 4 is quenched in the quenching tank.

[0050] The ring-shaped part 4 can be placed flat on the tooling, so that the part is subjected to uniform force, the product is less likely to deform, the hardness distribution is more uniform, and the performance is better. The tooling is reusable, the tooling components are simple, the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low, and the operation is convenient. It reduces the labor intensity of operators and the safety risks caused by working in high-temperature environments for a long time, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Unlike Example 1, as Figure 5 As shown, the hoisting fixture for quenching a ring-shaped part 4 provided in this embodiment also includes a friction block 9. The friction block 9 is laid between two limiting blocks 5. The friction block 9 has a wavy stripe shape and a trapezoidal shape when viewed from above, and is used to conform to the outer surface contour of the ring-shaped part 4.

[0053] Beneficial effects of this embodiment

[0054] The contact area between the tooling and the part is designed with a wavy texture to increase the friction between the tooling and the ring-shaped part 4, ensuring that the ring-shaped part 4 does not fall off.
