[0002] A quenching tank is an important piece of equipment used in the quenching process of metal heat treatment. It is a container that holds quenching media. Its main function is to rapidly immerse metal workpieces in the quenching media after they have been heated to a certain temperature, so as to achieve rapid cooling and thereby change the microstructure and properties of the metal. Quenching tanks are usually made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Through the use of quenching tanks, metal workpieces can obtain the required hardness, strength and toughness properties. They are widely used in machinery manufacturing, automotive industry and aerospace fields, and are one of the key pieces of equipment for improving the performance of metal materials and product quality.

[0003] In existing quenching tanks, the medium splashes everywhere during the quenching process, threatening the safety of operators and affecting the cleanliness of the workplace. It is also difficult and inconvenient to remove the workpiece at the end of quenching. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a quenching tank, which aims to improve the problems of safety issues caused by splashing quenching medium and inconvenience in removing workpieces when using existing quenching tanks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quenching tank, comprising a shell, two first sliding grooves on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the shell, a connecting member slidably connected between two adjacent first sliding grooves, a lifting frame fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two connecting members, a second sliding groove on the top of each of the two connecting members, a sliding member slidably connected in each of the two second sliding grooves, a cover plate rotatably connected to the rear top of the shell, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the top of each of the two sliding members, the tops of the two connecting rods rotatably connected to the cover plate, and a moving component provided inside the shell for maintaining medium equilibrium.

[0006] Preferably, the moving component includes a first motor, a rotating disk is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor, a moving part is disposed inside the housing, a plurality of spoilers are fixedly connected to the top of the moving part, a fixing part is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving part, a moving rod is slidably connected inside the fixing part, and the moving rod is fixedly connected to the rotating disk.

[0007] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the top right side of the housing, and a worm gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor.

[0008] Preferably, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the cover plate, and the worm gear is meshed with the worm.

[0009] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer casing, and a valve is installed inside the drain pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the lifting frame has evenly distributed holes.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer casing is provided with a third sliding groove on both the front and rear sides, and the moving part slides between the two third sliding grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the movable component has uniformly distributed rectangular grooves, the front side of the fixed component has a groove, and the movable rod slides within the groove.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the second motor drives the worm gear to rotate, thereby driving the worm wheel and the cover plate to rotate. When the cover plate rotates, it pulls the connecting rod on the front side to move. When the connecting rod moves, it pulls the sliding part at the bottom to move. The sliding part moves inside the connecting part, thereby pulling the connecting part to slide in the first sliding groove. This realizes that when the cover plate is flipped up, the lifting frame at the bottom is lifted up, which makes it easy to take out the internal objects. When the cover plate is closed, it prevents the quenching medium from splashing.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the first motor drives the rotating disk to rotate. When the rotating disk rotates, it drives the moving rod to move within the fixed part, thereby driving the moving part and the baffle to move left and right. This enhances the fluidity and uniformity of the quenching medium, making the cooling of each part of the workpiece more consistent, improving the quenching quality, and solving the problem of slow or even stagnant local flow of the quenching medium, which causes large differences in cooling rate between different parts of the workpiece, thus affecting the consistency and stability of product performance.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a quenching tank, including a shell 1. Two first sliding grooves 8 are opened on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the shell 1. Connecting members 9 are slidably connected between two adjacent first sliding grooves 8. A lifting frame 4 is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two connecting members 9. A second sliding groove 10 is opened on the top of each of the two connecting members 9. Sliding members 11 are slidably connected in each of the two second sliding grooves 10. A cover plate 2 is rotatably connected to the rear top of the shell 1. Connecting rods 3 are rotatably connected to the tops of the two sliding members 11. The tops of the two connecting rods 3 are rotatably connected to the cover plate 2. A moving component is provided inside the shell 1 to maintain the equilibrium of the medium.

[0024] Specifically, when the cover plate 2 is opened, the connecting rod 3 on the front side is pulled to move. When the connecting rod 3 moves, it pulls the sliding part 11 at the bottom to move. The sliding part 11 moves inside the connecting part 9, thereby pulling the connecting part 9 to slide in the first slide groove 8. This allows the lifting frame 4 at the bottom to be lifted when the cover plate 2 is flipped up. The lifting frame 4 is raised to facilitate the user to take out the internal objects. When the cover plate 2 is closed, the connecting rod 3 drives the connecting part 9 and the lifting frame 4 to descend, so that the objects sink into the quenching medium. At the same time, the cover plate 2 covers the outer shell 1 to prevent the quenching medium from splashing.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The moving component includes a first motor 5, a rotating disk 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 5, a moving part 15 is installed inside the outer shell 1, a plurality of spoilers 16 are fixedly connected to the top of the moving part 15, a fixing part 13 is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving part 15, a moving rod 21 is slidably connected inside the fixing part 13, and the moving rod 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 12.

[0026] Specifically, the first motor 5 drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate. When the rotating disk 12 rotates, it drives the moving rod 21 on the rear side to rotate. The moving rod 21 moves within the fixed part 13, thereby driving the moving part 15 to slide within the third slide groove 14. The baffle 16 on the top of the moving part 15 moves left and right, thereby enhancing the fluidity and uniformity of the quenching medium, making the cooling of various parts of the workpiece more consistent, and improving the quenching quality.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 A second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the outer casing 1, and a worm gear 18 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 17.

[0028] Specifically, the second motor 17 drives the worm gear 18 to rotate, thereby driving the cover plate 2 to rotate, and at the same time, the worm gear 18 locks the worm wheel 19.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 A worm gear 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the cover plate 2, and the worm gear 19 is meshed with the worm 18.

[0030] Specifically, the cover plate 2 is rotated by the rotation of the worm gear 19, and the opening and closing of the cover plate 2 is controlled by the self-locking between the worm 18 and the worm gear 19.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 A drain pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer casing 1, and a valve 7 is installed inside the drain pipe 6.

[0032] Specifically, by opening valve 7, the medium inside the outer casing 1 can be quickly discharged through drain pipe 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 The surface of the lifting frame 4 has evenly distributed holes 20.

[0034] Specifically, the quenching medium can pass through the lifting frame 4 through the hole 20, thereby quenching the object.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The inner wall of the outer casing 1 has a third sliding groove 14 on both the front and rear sides, and the moving part 15 slides between the two third sliding grooves 14.

[0036] Specifically, the baffle 16 moves left and right by sliding the moving part 15 in the third slide groove 14, which enables the heat of the quenching medium to be transferred quickly, shortens the quenching time, and improves production efficiency.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The surface of the movable part 15 has evenly distributed rectangular grooves, and the front side of the fixed part 13 has a groove, in which the movable rod 21 slides.

[0038] Specifically, the quenching medium can pass freely through the rectangular groove, and is discharged through the drain pipe 6 at the bottom. The moving rod 21 slides within the fixed part 13, thereby enabling the fixed part 13 and the moving part 15 to move left and right when the rotating disk 12 rotates.

[0039] Working principle: When the user operates, the second motor 17 first drives the worm gear 18 to rotate. The worm gear 18 meshes with the worm wheel 19 to open the cover plate 2. At this time, the connecting rod 3 on the front side is pulled to move. The connecting rod 3 drives the sliding part 11 at the bottom to move in the second slide groove 10 of the connecting part 9, thereby pulling the connecting part 9 to slide in the first slide groove 8 on the inner wall of the outer shell 1, raising the lifting frame 4 at the bottom to facilitate the placement of objects. After the objects are placed, the cover plate 2 is closed, and the connecting rod 3 drives the connecting part 9 and the lifting frame 4 to descend, and the objects sink into the quenching medium.

[0040] At the same time, the first motor 5 drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate, causing the moving rod 21 to move in the groove of the fixed part 13, thereby driving the moving part 15 to slide in the third slide groove 14. The baffle plate 16 on the top of the moving part 15 moves left and right to enhance the fluidity and uniformity of the quenching medium. After quenching is completed, the valve 7 of the drain pipe 6 is opened to discharge the quenching medium.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
