Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chain processing technology, and specifically relates to a medium-frequency heating and heat preservation device for chain heat treatment. Background Technology

[0002] In the chain manufacturing industry, heat treatment is a key process for improving the mechanical properties of chains. Among these processes, medium-frequency induction heating technology is widely used due to its advantages such as high heating efficiency, low energy consumption, and precise temperature control. Traditional medium-frequency heating devices for chain heat treatment typically employ an integrated furnace structure with a single-layer spiral layout of internal electromagnetic coils. This allows for localized or overall heating of the chain through the principle of electromagnetic induction.

[0003] However, the integrated design of the furnace body and the fixed coil means that when the coil is partially damaged or aged, the entire furnace body must be disassembled for repair, resulting in long downtime, high maintenance costs, and serious impact on production efficiency. Moreover, the single fixed-size coil is difficult to adapt to the processing requirements of chains of different specifications. For example, small-diameter chains may overheat due to excessive electromagnetic coupling, while large-diameter chains may not be heated enough, requiring frequent replacement of heating devices or adjustment of process parameters, reducing the flexibility of the production line. Utility Model Content

Each furnace body module is equipped with a double-layer spiral coil structure, including an outer fixed coil and an inner floating coil. The fixed coil and the floating coil at least partially overlap in the axial direction to form a magnetic field superposition area. The floating coil can move axially under the drive of an external force to adjust the area of ​​the magnetic field superposition area.

[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, one end of the floating coil is connected to the fixed contact through a braided copper strip, and the other end of the floating coil is slidably mounted on the track contact through a sliding brush.

The two mounting plates are distributed on the two adjacent furnace body modules, the gasket is spaced between the two mounting plates, and the bolt passes through the two mounting plates and the gasket and is screwed onto the nut.

[0008] As a further technical scheme of the utility model, the step sealing structure is arranged on the pressing surface of the two adjacent furnace body modules, the step sealing structure comprises a ring groove, a sealing ring and a compensating expansion gasket, the ring groove and the sealing ring are all arranged with multiple groups and are alternately arranged along the thickness direction of the furnace body module, and the ring groove and the sealing ring on the abutting surface of the two adjacent furnace body modules are cross-coupled to form a labyrinth air gap.

[0009] As a further technical scheme of the utility model, the compensating expansion gasket is arranged in the ring groove, and the compensating expansion gasket is formed by superimposing multiple layers of graphene-ceramic composite materials.

[0010] As a further technical scheme of the utility model, the cross section of the sealing ring is in a trapezoidal structure.

[0011] The utility model has the advantages as follows:

[0012] (1) in the application, the chain heat treatment medium frequency heating holding device is formed by multiple separable furnace body modules, each furnace body module can be individually disassembled, and when partial damage occurs, the furnace body module can be individually disassembled and replaced, so that overall shutdown maintenance is not needed, maintenance efficiency is improved, and operation and maintenance cost is greatly reduced; and through the arrangement of the double-layer spiral coil structure in the furnace body module, the area of the magnetic field superposition region can be adjusted by driving the axial movement of the floating coil of the inner layer, the eddy current distribution is optimized, and the edge cold area and center overheating problems are eliminated.

[0021] Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the furnace body module 100 is shown; Figure 2 In the furnace body module 100, a double-layer spiral coil structure is arranged, including a fixed coil 110 at the outer layer and a floating coil 120 at the inner layer, the fixed coil 110 and the floating coil 120 at least partially overlap in the axial direction to form a magnetic field superposition area, and the floating coil 120 is driven by an external force to move axially to adjust the area of the magnetic field superposition area; the fixed coil 110 at the outer layer and the floating coil 120 at the inner layer are coaxially arranged, the radial spacing between them is fixedly different, and the floating coil 120 at the inner layer can be driven to move axially, so as to adjust the area of the magnetic field superposition area of the fixed coil 110 and the floating coil 120, the magnetic field coverage is more matched with the geometric shape of the workpiece, and the edge cold zone and the center overheating problem are eliminated.

[0022] The specific principle is: based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, when an alternating current passes through a coil, a changing magnetic field is generated, and then eddy current is induced in the workpiece to achieve heating; the adjustable design adjusts the axial spacing of the inner and outer coils to adjust the magnetic field superposition area, thereby optimizing the eddy current distribution.

[0023] It should be noted that the specific driving structure is not limited and protected by the present application, and can be a motor cooperating with a lead screw or a hydraulic drive.
