Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of induction hardening technology, specifically to an integral induction hardening device for the inner and outer rings of a large bearing. Background Technology

[0002] Large bearings play a crucial supporting role in various heavy machinery and equipment. Their main function is to bear radial and axial loads and reduce rotational friction through rolling contact. Because they operate under high load and high speed conditions, the inner and outer rings of the bearings must have high hardness and wear resistance to ensure long service life and high performance.

[0003] To meet the requirements for high hardness and high wear resistance, the inner and outer rings of large bearings are typically hardened. The hardening process alters the microstructure of the material through rapid heating and cooling, thereby significantly improving its hardness and wear resistance.

[0004] Among the existing quenching technologies, one method uses bainitic quenching, and the other uses induction hardening. Induction hardening without soft strips uses a continuous scanning quenching method, which is slow for processing large workpieces, requires a large number of equipment, and involves a large investment. On the other hand, the bainitic integral quenching process requires precise control of isothermal temperature and time, and the holding time is long, resulting in low efficiency. The deep carburizing of large bearings and the synergistic effect of bainitic phase transformation are difficult. The hardness of bainitic quenching is slightly lower than that of martensitic quenching, making it less adaptable to extreme wear-resistant scenarios.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

After multiple load quenching components reach the appropriate position, the components cooperate with each other to form an overall quenching effect. Then, the workpiece drive component drives the workpiece clamping component to rotate, and the load sensor component starts heating. After heating to the appropriate quenching temperature, the load sensor component stops heating and moves away from the quenching surface. The workpiece drive component drives the workpiece clamping component to descend into the quenching water tank, where the workpiece is quenched (a water spray cooling system can also be added to the load sensor component to complete the quenching of the workpiece, which can be selected as needed). After quenching is completed, the workpiece drive component drives the workpiece clamping component to rise and move to the appropriate position to remove the workpiece, thus completing an overall quenching process.
