Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of quenching equipment, and in particular to a novel quenching device. Background Technology

[0002] Quenching is a crucial step in metal heat treatment. By heating a workpiece to a certain temperature and then rapidly cooling it, the hardness and strength of the material can be significantly improved. This process is widely used in industrial production, not only enhancing product performance but also promoting the development of the manufacturing industry. However, with the continuous growth of market demand and technological advancements, traditional quenching equipment can no longer meet the high-precision requirements of modern production. Currently, the quenching equipment widely used in industrial production mainly includes stationary quenching furnaces and mobile quenching equipment.

[0003] In practical applications, common solutions for achieving efficient and stable quenching processes include installing guide plates inside the quenching tank to utilize the force of water flow to help the workpiece sink into the quenching liquid more quickly. Another common method is to use chain conveyors in conjunction with robotic arms for automated loading and unloading, ensuring precise workpiece positioning and stable transport. While these methods can optimize the quenching process to some extent, there is still room for improvement.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that a common problem with existing quenching devices is the inability to precisely control the quenching temperature, leading to unstable quenching results. This prevents the metal from forming specific structures, especially when the quenching liquid temperature fluctuates significantly, severely impacting the quenching quality and consistency of the workpiece. Therefore, designing a device capable of controlling the quenching temperature has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a novel quenching apparatus.

[0006] This application provides a novel quenching device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel quenching device includes a support frame; a quenching chamber mounted on the support frame for holding quenching liquid; a bearing mechanism positioned above the quenching chamber, the bearing mechanism including a connecting plate with a plurality of bearing rods evenly arranged on the connecting plate, the gaps between adjacent bearing rods serving as outlets, and the plurality of bearing rods being spliced ​​together to form a bearing plate; a lifting mechanism connected to the bearing mechanism for driving the bearing mechanism to move vertically; and a tilting mechanism connected to the bearing mechanism for adjusting the tilt angle of the bearing plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting mechanism can stably place the parts to be quenched. Specifically, several evenly distributed supporting rods on the connecting plate provide stable support. The gaps between adjacent supporting rods serve as outlets, effectively draining the liquid during the quenching process. This prevents uneven heating caused by liquid accumulation and allows the quenching parts to be kept away from the quenching liquid, thereby controlling the part temperature and achieving the best quenching effect. Simultaneously, the tilting mechanism can adjust the tilt angle of the supporting plate as needed, allowing the parts to be completely tilted on the supporting mechanism, ensuring uniform quenching and that each part is evenly coated with the quenching liquid. The lifting mechanism enables the vertical lifting movement of the supporting mechanism, controlling whether the quenching parts are in the quenching liquid, and can also cooperate with the tilting mechanism and subsequent unloading mechanism for unloading. These designs collectively improve the working efficiency and product quality of the quenching device.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a feeding component, the feeding component points to the quenching chamber, and the quenching chamber is provided with a discharging component on the side away from the feeding component.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, this new quenching device can realize automated feeding and discharging processes, improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention. Specifically, the design of the feeding assembly allows the workpiece to smoothly enter the quenching chamber, while the discharging assembly located on the other side of the quenching chamber ensures that the quenched workpiece can be quickly discharged, avoiding time delays and safety hazards caused by manual operation. At the same time, this design also helps to maintain a clean and orderly working environment, further improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding pipe disposed on the support frame, and the feeding pipe is provided with a feeding ramp.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed ramp on the feed pipe can effectively guide the workpiece to be quenched smoothly into the quenching chamber, reducing jamming and blockage, and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the design of the feed ramp makes the workpiece enter the quenching chamber more smoothly, avoiding damage or deformation caused by impact, thereby improving product quality.

[0013] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a guide block disposed on the support frame, the guide block being provided with a guide groove, and a storage bin, the guide groove being inclined toward the storage bin.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this new quenching device can automatically export and collect quenched workpieces into the storage bin, avoiding the safety hazards and inefficiencies caused by manual operation. The guide block design allows the workpiece to slide smoothly into the storage bin along the inclined guide groove under the action of gravity, reducing the jamming phenomenon of the workpiece during movement and improving the continuity and stability of the entire quenching process.

[0015] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting rod disposed on the connecting plate, a lifting connecting seat disposed on the lifting rod, a lifting transmission rod disposed on the lifting connecting seat, a lifting cylinder connected to the lifting transmission rod, and the lifting cylinder disposed on the support frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting mechanism can achieve precise vertical control of the support plate, ensuring that the workpiece can smoothly enter and leave the quenching liquid, thereby improving the stability and safety of the quenching process. At the same time, the design of the lifting cylinder makes the entire system structure more compact, reducing space occupation and facilitating the overall layout and maintenance of the equipment.

[0017] Preferably, the lifting rod is disposed on one side of the bearing plate, the lifting connecting seat is coaxially rotatably connected to the lifting rod, and the flipping mechanism is disposed at the end away from the lifting rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rod is positioned on one side of the support plate, making the layout of the lifting mechanism more compact and reasonable, saving space. The lifting connecting seat is coaxially rotatably connected to the lifting rod, which not only improves the stability and reliability during the lifting process but also reduces mechanical wear caused by friction. The tilting mechanism is located at the end away from the lifting rod, effectively avoiding mutual interference between the tilting and lifting actions, ensuring the coordination of the work of each component, and improving the operating efficiency and safety of the entire device.

[0019] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping cylinder mounted on the support frame, the flipping cylinder being rotatably connected to the support frame, a flipping transmission rod being mounted on the transmission end of the flipping cylinder, and a flipping rod being hinged to the end of the flipping transmission rod away from the flipping cylinder, the flipping rod being mounted on the connecting plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the tilting mechanism can precisely control the tilt angle of the support plate, thereby achieving smooth tilting and unloading of the quenched parts. Specifically, the tilting cylinder is fixed on the support frame and drives the tilting transmission rod through the transmission end, which in turn pushes the connecting plate, ensuring that the support plate changes at a predetermined angle. This design not only improves the safety and reliability of operation but also reduces manual intervention and increases production efficiency.

[0021] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a support shell.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the support shell can effectively protect the internal mechanical structure from the influence of the external environment, improving the stability and service life of the equipment. The support shell can be opened or closed as needed, facilitating maintenance and inspection by operators, while also preventing liquid splashing during quenching and ensuring a safe working environment.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The outlet design between the bearing rods helps the quenching liquid to flow out of the workpiece surface quickly, reducing the impact of residual liquid on the next quenching, while controlling the quenching temperature, realizing quenching of quenching liquid + air dual medium quenching, ensuring the quenching temperature of the workpiece. The temperature drop of the traditional quenching mechanism is a continuous drop, while the quenching temperature drop of this application is a gradient drop, which can quench martensite and other metal structures according to the requirements, ensuring the stability and reliability of the quenching effect.

[0025] 2. By setting up lifting and tilting mechanisms, the height and tilt angle of the bearing plate can be precisely controlled, ensuring accurate positioning and smooth transition of the workpiece during the quenching process, effectively improving the quality and consistency of quenching;

[0026] 3. The rational layout of the feeding and discharging components makes the operation of the entire device more convenient, improves production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and realizes a highly efficient automated quenching process. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a novel quenching device.

[0033] This application provides a novel quenching device, which is referenced in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The system includes a support frame 1, a quenching chamber 101, a bearing mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a tilting mechanism 4. The quenching chamber 101 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is used to hold the quenching liquid; common quenching liquids include water or oil. The bearing mechanism 2 is located above the quenching chamber 101 and includes a connecting plate 201 and several bearing rods 202. An outlet 203 is formed between adjacent bearing rods 202, allowing the quenching liquid to flow out. Several bearing rods 202 are joined together to form a bearing plate 204. The lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the bearing mechanism 2 and is used to drive the bearing mechanism 2 to move vertically, thereby allowing the bearing to enter and exit the quenching liquid. The tilting mechanism 4 is also connected to the bearing mechanism 2 and is used to adjust the tilt angle of the bearing plate 204. This allows for more even quenching of the workpiece through tilting and also facilitates material feeding and unloading. Typically, the quenched workpiece is a sphere or cylinder.

[0034] Specifically, the support frame 1 is made of high-strength steel, possessing excellent load-bearing capacity and stability. The height of the support frame 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to working environments at different heights. The quenching chamber 101 can be connected to a liquid inlet / outlet mechanism for convenient replacement of the quenching fluid.

[0035] The connecting plate 201 in the supporting mechanism 2 is typically made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Several supporting rods 202 are evenly arranged on the connecting plate 201. In a preferred embodiment, the supporting rods 202 are cylindrical and can be made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability after long-term use. The length of each rod can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the quenching chamber 101. The gap between adjacent supporting rods 202 serves as an outlet 203, allowing the quenching liquid medium to flow out when the lifting mechanism 3 is raised, and also facilitating material discharge.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 as well as Figure 3The main components of the lifting mechanism 3 include a lifting rod 301, a lifting connecting seat 302, a lifting transmission rod 303, and a lifting cylinder 304. The lifting rod 301 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 201 and connected to the connecting plate 201 via the lifting connecting seat 302. The lifting connecting seat 302 allows the lifting rod 301 to move freely in the vertical direction, ensuring smooth up-and-down movement of the bearing mechanism 2. The lifting transmission rod 303 connects the lifting rod 301 and the lifting cylinder 304, transmitting the power of the lifting cylinder 304 to the lifting rod 301. The lifting cylinder 304 is mounted on the support frame 1, and its working pressure and stroke can be adjusted by a controller to precisely control the rising and falling speeds of the bearing mechanism 2.

[0037] Specifically, when the workpiece needs to be placed in the quenching liquid, the lifting cylinder 304 retracts, driving the lifting transmission rod 303 to pull the lifting rod 301 downwards, thereby causing the bearing mechanism 2 and the workpiece to descend into the quenching liquid. Conversely, the lifting cylinder 304 extends, driving the lifting transmission rod 303 to push the lifting rod 301 upwards, causing the bearing mechanism 2 to rise, and the workpiece to leave the quenching liquid. By repeating this process, the liquid-air-liquid quenching is completed.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 The tilting mechanism 4 mainly consists of a tilting cylinder 401, a tilting transmission rod 402, and a tilting rod 403. The tilting cylinder 401 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the support frame 1 via a connecting seat and a rotating shaft. The transmission end is connected to the tilting transmission rod 402, and the rotating part of the other end of the transmission rod is connected to the tilting rod 403 via a bearing, ensuring that the tilting action can be realized. The tilting rod 403 is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate 201. When the tilting cylinder 401 operates, it drives the tilting transmission rod 402 to rise, thereby driving the connecting plate 201, which in turn causes the tilting rod 403 to push the connecting plate 201 to tilt, thus adjusting the angle of the bearing plate 204.

[0039] Specifically, when the tilt angle of the support plate 204 needs to be adjusted, the tilting cylinder 401 extends or retracts, transmitting power through the tilting transmission rod 402 to tilt the connecting plate 201. This mechanism allows the support plate 204 to adjust its tilt angle within a certain range, which helps the workpiece roll on the tilting plate, making it more evenly contacted with the quenching liquid and improving the stability of the quenching effect.

[0040] refer to Figure 1The system also includes a feeding assembly 5 and a discharging assembly 6. The feeding assembly 5 includes a feeding pipe 501 mounted on the support frame 1, with a feeding ramp 502 on the feeding pipe 501. The feeding pipe 501 can be a metal pipe, with the appropriate material selected according to the actual application. The feeding ramp 502 can be a gentle slope or a stepped structure, which facilitates the smooth entry of the workpiece into the quenching chamber 101. The discharging assembly 6 includes a guide block 601 mounted on the support frame 1, with a guide groove 602 on the guide block 601, and a storage bin 603. The guide groove 602 is inclined towards the storage bin 603. The guide block 601 can be made of wear-resistant material, such as cast iron or hard alloy, to ensure long-term durability. The guide groove 602 can be straight or curved, designed according to the shape of the workpiece and the conveying path.

[0041] In addition, to improve the safety and ease of operation of the entire device, a support shell 102 can be added to the support frame 1 to prevent accidental contact and injury, and at the same time to prevent the quenching liquid from splashing out during quenching and causing injury to the operator, thus providing a certain degree of protection.

[0042] The implementation principle of the novel quenching device in this application embodiment is as follows: This novel quenching device achieves precise control of the workpiece quenching process through a reasonable structural design. First, through the precise control of the lifting mechanism 3, the workpiece can be smoothly introduced into the quenching liquid, reducing the impact of impact on the workpiece. Simultaneously, the quenching temperature is controlled, achieving dual-medium quenching of quenching liquid and air, ensuring the quenching temperature of the workpiece. While traditional quenching mechanisms involve a continuous temperature decrease, the quenching temperature in this application decreases in a gradient manner, enabling the quenching of martensitic and other metallic structures as needed. Second, the design of the tilting mechanism 4 allows the supporting plate 204 to tilt within a certain range, helping the workpiece to contact the quenching liquid more evenly and improving the stability of the quenching effect. Finally, through the coordinated work of the feeding component 5 and the discharging component 6, combined with the movement of the tilting mechanism 4, automated loading and unloading of the workpiece is achieved, greatly improving production efficiency. Overall, this device not only improves upon the shortcomings of traditional quenching devices but also significantly enhances quenching quality, reduces labor costs, and is suitable for various applications requiring high-precision quenching.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
