[0002] As the name suggests, the piston rod is the connecting component that supports the piston in performing work. It is mostly used in hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, and is a moving component with frequent movement and high technical requirements. Taking a hydraulic cylinder as an example, it consists of several parts: cylinder barrel, piston rod (cylinder rod), piston, and end cap. The quality of its machining directly affects the lifespan and reliability of the entire product. The piston rod requires high machining standards, with a surface roughness requirement of Ra0.4~0.8um, and strict requirements for coaxiality and wear resistance. A fundamental characteristic of the cylinder rod is its slender shaft shape, which presents significant machining challenges and has long been a problem for machining personnel. Existing piston rods generally require heat treatment to improve their overall performance for better use.

The blower is installed at the air inlet, and the air outlet is located on the top surface of the air-cooling platform housing, with an adjustable size. The application of this air-cooling platform effectively avoids the aforementioned defects, ensuring both rapid air cooling and uniform cooling. It also collects waste such as oxide scale and residual salts from heat treatment, reducing environmental pollution. It is a device that enables rapid and uniform air cooling during metal heat treatment while simultaneously collecting waste generated during the process.

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. 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.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 This application provides a piston rod heat treatment cooler, including a mounting plate 1 and a residual stress removal mechanism 8, which is disposed above the mounting plate 1. The residual stress removal mechanism removes residual stress inside the piston rod through vibration. The residual stress removal mechanism 8 includes a motor base 81, on which a second drive motor 82 is fixedly mounted. A first pulley 83 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the second drive motor 82. The first pulley 83 is connected to a second pulley 85 via a transmission belt 84. A rotating shaft 87 is fixedly mounted on the second pulley 85, and two semi-circular counterweights 86 are provided on the rotating shaft 87. A support frame 7 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 1, and four second connecting frames 10 are provided on the support frame 7. The lower end of each second connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame 7. The other end is fixedly connected to a conveyor plate 9. The motor base 81 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the conveyor plate 9, and two semi-circular counterweights 86 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor plate 9. Specifically, after air cooling, the piston rod is pushed out from the inside of the cooling box 2 by a robotic arm and falls into the inside of the conveyor plate 9. At the same time, the second drive motor 82 is started to drive the first pulley 83 to rotate. The first pulley 83 drives the second pulley 85 to rotate through the transmission belt 84. The second pulley 85 drives the rotating shaft 87 to rotate. The rotating shaft 87 drives the semi-circular counterweights 86 on it to rotate. Under the influence of the gravity of the semi-circular counterweights 86 and the elastic force of the spring 11, the conveyor plate 9 vibrates up and down continuously, avoiding the problem of piston rod breakage caused by stress concentration, and improving the reliability and service life of the product.
[0029] A collection box 12 is provided on the mounting plate 1. A buffer pad 13 is placed inside the collection box 12. The piston rod slides down from the conveyor plate 9 and falls into the collection box 12. The buffer pad 13 inside the collection box 12 can reduce the impact after the piston rod falls. The collection box 12 is arranged on one side of the conveyor plate 9, and the cooling box 2 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor plate 9. The height of the end of the conveyor plate 9 near the cooling box 2 is higher than the height of the end near the collection box 12. The conveyor plate 9 is arranged slightly at an angle so that the piston rod can be transported on the conveyor plate 9. The specific angle is set according to the actual situation.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, a cooling box 2 is detachably installed on the top of the mounting plate 1. A pitch-changing mechanism 4 is provided on the cooling box 2. The pitch-changing mechanism 4 includes a primary drive motor 41. A primary connecting rod 42 is fixedly installed at the output end of the primary drive motor 41. A secondary connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to the two ends of the primary connecting rod 42, offset from the primary connecting rod 42. A primary connecting frame 44 is rotatably installed at the end of each secondary connecting rod 43 away from the primary connecting rod 42. Several equidistant connecting shafts 45 are fixedly installed on each primary connecting frame 44. A wheel seat 46 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each connecting shaft 45, and a pulley 47 is rotatably installed on the wheel seat 46. Fixing frames 5 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower inner walls of the cooling box 2. An air-cooling assembly 6 is provided on the fixing frame 5. The air-cooling assembly 6 is existing technology and can specifically be an air-cooled machine to cool the piston rod. A sliding groove 21 is provided on the cooling box 2, and multiple connecting shafts 45 slide one-to-one inside the sliding groove 21. A useful... The heat-treated piston rod is inserted between two pulleys 47 by using an external robotic arm on the motor frame 3 supporting the first drive motor 41. Before this, the first drive motor 41 can be started to drive the first connecting rod 42 to rotate. The first connecting rod 42 drives the two second connecting rods 43 to rotate. Each second connecting rod 43 drives the first connecting frame 44 connected to it to move. Since the connecting shaft 45 slides inside the slide groove 21, the connecting shaft 45 can move linearly along the slide groove 21. Each connecting shaft 45 drives the wheel seat 46 on it to move. The wheel seat 46 drives the pulley 47 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pulleys 47. This allows the distance between the two pulleys 47 to be adjusted according to the diameter of the piston rod, so that it can be used for piston rods of different diameters. The piston rod is supported inside the cooling box 2 and air-cooled by the air-cooling component 6 on the fixed frame 5. It is highly flexible. The piston rod can be moved back and forth by the external robotic arm to cool the part of the piston rod in contact with the pulley 47.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
