DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model will be further explained in combination with the drawings and examples, and the mode of the utility model includes but is not limited to the following examples.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As Figures 1-4 The heat treatment equipment for aluminum alloy sheet deep cryogenic aging strengthening provided by the utility model, comprising: support 1, support 1 top installs deep cryogenic treatment box body 2, deep cryogenic treatment box body 2 installs support frame 3 in, the both sides of support frame 2 install rotating shaft 4, rotating shaft 4 is connected with deep cryogenic treatment box body 2, and deep cryogenic treatment box body 2 side installs drive mechanism, drive mechanism is connected with rotating shaft 4, can drive rotating shaft 4 to rotate through drive mechanism, one side of deep cryogenic treatment box body 2 installs sealing door 15, when using, open sealing door 15, and drive rotating shaft 4 to rotate counterclockwise 5-10 degrees through drive mechanism, make support frame 3 towards the side of sealing door 15 present and tilt to upper side, therefore, when sending aluminum alloy sheet into support frame 3, because support frame 3 is in the inclined state, the friction between aluminum alloy sheet and support frame 3 is reduced, and it is more labor-saving to push the aluminum alloy sheet, and then the aluminum alloy sheet is conveniently put in, after the aluminum alloy sheet is put into the box, support frame 3 is turned to flat again, and the aluminum alloy sheet is deep cryogenic aging strengthened by deep cryogenic treatment box body 2, after heat treatment is completed, open sealing door 15, and rotating shaft is turned clockwise 5-15 degrees, make support frame 3 towards the side of sealing door 15 tilt to lower side, can reduce friction, and it is more labor-saving to take down the aluminum alloy sheet from support frame 3.It is worth mentioning that this kind of use mode is more suitable for heavier plate-shaped workpieces, and can effectively reduce labor intensity.

[0027] By installing the support frame 3 that can rotate in deep cryogenic treatment box body 2, when taking and placing the aluminum alloy sheet, the inclination of support frame 3 is adjusted, which can make it more labor-saving to take and place the aluminum alloy sheet, and more convenient to use, and reduce labor intensity.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] As Figure 1As shown, a spray plate 5 is installed inside the cryogenic treatment chamber body 2, and multiple nozzles 8 are installed on the spray plate 5. A liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 is installed on the top of the cryogenic treatment chamber body 2, and a connecting pipe 7 is installed between the liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 and the spray plate 5. An electric control valve is installed on the connecting pipe 7. A return pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the cryogenic treatment chamber body 2, and the return pipe 13 is connected to the liquid nitrogen storage tank 6. A return pump 14 is installed on the return pipe 13. In use, the electric control valve is opened, and the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 enters the spray plate 5 through the connecting pipe 7, and then is sprayed downwards through the nozzles 8 to spray and cool the aluminum alloy sheet on the support frame 3. The liquid nitrogen collected at the bottom of the tank is pumped out by the return pump 14 and returned to the liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 through the return pipe 13, thereby ensuring a continuous supply and uniform spray of liquid nitrogen and improving treatment efficiency.

[0030] By setting up a spray plate 5, a liquid nitrogen storage tank 6, a connecting pipe 7, a nozzle 8, a return pipe 13, and a return pump 14, liquid nitrogen can be continuously sprayed onto the aluminum alloy sheet, thereby increasing the cooling rate of the aluminum alloy sheet and thus improving the processing efficiency.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] like Figures 2-4 As shown, multiple support plates 9 are installed on the support frame 3. Each layer of support plates 9 can hold workpieces undergoing heat treatment. To further reduce the friction between the support plates 9 and the workpieces, multiple arc-shaped protrusions 10 are evenly arranged on the support plates 9. This reduces the contact area between the plate-shaped workpieces and the support plates 9, decreasing friction and making it easier for the workpieces to adhere to the support surface 9, facilitating removal. During use, the support frame 3 should be kept tilted during heat treatment, with its opening facing upwards to facilitate liquid nitrogen spraying onto the workpieces on each layer of support plates 9.

[0033] By installing multiple support plates 9 on the support frame 3 and uniformly setting arc-shaped protrusions 10 on the support plates 9, the device can conveniently perform heat treatment on multiple workpieces at the same time, and facilitate the removal of plate-shaped workpieces.

[0034] Example 4:

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a clearance groove 11 is provided on the support plate 9. When in use, a tool can be used to clamp the aluminum alloy sheet from the clearance groove 11 to facilitate its removal.

[0036] By providing a clearance groove 11 on the support plate 9, it is easy to clamp the aluminum alloy sheet, and thus easy to remove the aluminum alloy sheet.

[0037] Example 5:

[0038] like Figures 3-4As shown, the blocking strip 12 is arranged outside the support plate 9, and the height of the blocking strip 12 is higher than that of the arc-shaped protrusion 10. In use, the aluminum alloy sheet is pushed to the top of the support plate 9, and the edge of the aluminum alloy sheet is blocked by the blocking strip 12. In the case that the opening of the support frame 3 is inclined downward, the aluminum alloy sheet is not easy to slide off the support plate 9 due to the blocking of the blocking strip 12, thereby improving the safety in use.

[0039] By arranging the blocking strip 12 outside the support plate 9, the workpiece can be blocked from sliding off the support plate 9, which is beneficial to improve the safety in use of the device.

[0040] Working principle: in use, the sealing door 15 is opened, and the rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by 5-10 degrees through the driving mechanism, so that the support frame 3 is inclined upward toward the side of the sealing door 15. Therefore, when the aluminum alloy sheet is fed into the support frame 3, the support frame 3 is in an inclined state, the friction between the aluminum alloy sheet and the support frame 3 is reduced, and the aluminum alloy sheet is pushed more easily under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating the placement of the aluminum alloy sheet. After the aluminum alloy sheet is placed in the box, the support frame 3 is turned to be flat, and the aluminum alloy sheet is subjected to deep cryogenic aging strengthening by the deep cryogenic treatment box body 2. After the heat treatment is completed, the sealing door 15 is opened, and the rotating shaft is rotated clockwise by 5-15 degrees, so that the support frame 3 is inclined downward toward the side of the sealing door 15. The friction can be reduced, and the aluminum alloy sheet can be taken off the support frame 3 more easily under the action of gravity. It is worth noting that this use mode is more suitable for heavier plate-shaped workpieces, and can effectively reduce the labor intensity.
