Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment equipment for mandrel parts, and in particular to a workpiece turntable device for induction hardening equipment for mandrel parts. Background Technology
[0002] The center plate is a key component of a vehicle, installed on the center beam of a truck body. Its functions include: 1) bearing the weight of the vehicle body; 2) transmitting traction and braking forces during vehicle movement; and 3) enabling steering by the relative rotation of the upper and lower center plates in curves. To increase the strength of the center plate, it needs to be quenched in an induction hardening equipment during production. In practice, the center plate is placed on a turntable within the hardening equipment for rotational heating. After heating, it needs to be removed from the turntable die. Due to thermal expansion, the heated center plate increases in volume and tends to adhere to the turntable die, making it difficult to remove and affecting production operations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a workpiece turntable device for a mandrel induction hardening equipment. Its overall structure is scientifically designed. During use, the mandrel part located in the turntable die can be easily ejected from the turntable die under the synergistic action of structural components such as the top mandrel. The operation process is simple and convenient, ensuring the efficiency of heat treatment of the mandrel part.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A workpiece turntable device for a mandrel induction hardening equipment includes a mounting bracket, a spindle mounting component, a spindle assembly, a top mandrel, a mandrel sleeve, a retaining spring, a spring support, and an air inlet. The spindle mounting component is mounted on the mounting bracket by mounting bolts. The spindle assembly is mounted on the spindle mounting component by bearings. A spring support is mounted on the top of the spindle assembly and is fixedly connected to the spindle assembly. A working cavity is formed inside the mandrel sleeve, and the lower part of the working cavity is fitted onto the spring support. A retaining spring is mounted on the spring support. The top mandrel is disposed in the working cavity of the mandrel sleeve, and its bottom is mounted and connected to the retaining spring. The air inlet is assembled on the mandrel sleeve, and its inner side communicates with the working cavity. A compressed air pipeline is connected to the outer side of the air inlet.
[0006] Furthermore, in the free state, the spring keeps the top mandrel in the working cavity of the mandrel sleeve, and the top of the top mandrel is lower than the upper opening of the working cavity.
[0007] Furthermore, the top mandrel is composed of a conical head and a mandrel body. The conical head is located on the top of the mandrel body and is fixedly connected to the mandrel body as an integral structure. The outer circle of the mandrel body is in sliding and sealing contact with the inner wall of the working cavity inside the mandrel sleeve.
[0008] The outer circumference of the spindle body is provided with a travel limiting groove, and a limiting block is fixedly installed on the spindle sleeve corresponding to the travel limiting groove. The limiting block extends into the travel limiting groove to limit the travel of the spindle body in the spindle sleeve.
[0009] The spindle assembly includes a spindle body, a drive wheel, and a locking nut. The spindle body is mounted on the spindle mounting component via bearings. The bottom of the spring support is fixedly mounted on the top of the spindle body. The drive wheel is located on the lower side of the spindle body and is locked to the spindle body by the locking nut.
[0010] Furthermore, a turntable die is installed on the top of the mandrel sleeve. The turntable die is fixedly connected to the mandrel sleeve. A die groove for holding the mandrel parts is opened in the turntable die, and the die groove is connected to the working cavity.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The overall structure of the workpiece turntable device for the induction hardening equipment of this utility model is scientifically designed, and the installation, operation and use are simple and convenient. In specific use, this utility model can achieve rapid ejection of the mandrel parts in the turntable die through the coordinated operation of components such as the top mandrel, mandrel sleeve, retaining spring, spring support, air inlet and turntable die, thereby ensuring the efficiency of heat treatment of the mandrel parts. Specifically, under normal conditions, the top mandrel in the mandrel sleeve is retracted into the working cavity in the mandrel sleeve under the pull of the retaining spring. When it is necessary to eject the mandrel parts in the turntable die, high-pressure gas can be connected to the air inlet. The high-pressure gas fills the working cavity in the mandrel sleeve and pushes the top mandrel upward. At this time, the conical head at the top of the top mandrel protrudes from the mandrel sleeve and quickly ejects the mandrel parts in the die groove of the turntable die. Attached Figure Description
