[0034] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the utility model can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0035] In the prior art, when heat treating bevel gears, a support frame is used to support on the back cone surface 012 of the bevel gear in a three-point support form. Since the contact area is small, the stability of the support is not high, and the gravity of the bevel gear is concentrated on the support point, the stress is uneven, after heat treatment, carburizing quenching and tempering, the bevel gear end face 011 jumps greatly, exceeding the finish machining allowance, which does not meet the technical requirements of the product.
[0036] In view of this, the designer provides a bevel gear heat treatment furnace loading support tool, which can increase the support surface, improve the support stability, reduce the end face jump and improve the product machining quality.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1It should be noted that the support tool for furnace loading of the spiral bevel gear heat treatment is mainly used for positioning the spiral bevel gear body 001, so that the spiral bevel gear body 001 can smoothly perform quenching and tempering heat treatment, and the deformation after heat treatment is small, which meets the technical requirements, is beneficial to subsequent finishing, and ensures product quality. The spiral bevel gear body 001 has opposite bevel gear end faces 011 and back tapered surfaces 012, the back tapered surfaces 012 are provided with steps 013, the steps 013 are generally cylindrical, and the steps 013 are coaxially arranged with the bevel gear end faces 011 and the back tapered surfaces 012. In addition, the middle position of the spiral bevel gear body 001 is provided with a hole, so that the spiral bevel gear body 001 is a hollow structure.
[0038] In the embodiment, the support tool for furnace loading of the spiral bevel gear heat treatment includes a support piece 100, and the support piece 100 is provided with a positioning hole 110 and a plurality of lightening holes 120. The support piece 100 has a first support end face 130 and a second support end face 140 arranged opposite in the axial direction of the positioning hole 110, and the two ends of the lightening hole 120 are located on the first support end face 130 and the second support end face 140 respectively; the positioning hole 110 is used for inserting the step 013; and the first support end face 130 and the second support end face 140 are alternatively used for contacting the back tapered surface 012 to support the spiral bevel gear body 001.
[0039] As described above, the use mode of the support tool for furnace loading of the spiral bevel gear heat treatment provided in the embodiment is as follows:
[0040] In use, the first support end face 130 can be used to contact the ground or other positions to position the support piece 100 in the heating furnace, and at the same time, the second support end face 140 faces upward. Then, the spiral bevel gear body 001 is lifted by hoisting equipment, so that the step 013 of the spiral bevel gear body 001 faces downward and is placed toward the support piece 100. In this process, the step 013 is inserted into the positioning hole 110 on the support piece 100, so that the support piece 100 does not interfere with the step 013. With the increase of the insertion depth of the step 013, the back tapered surface 012 of the spiral bevel gear body 001 can contact the second support end face 140. The spiral bevel gear body 001 and the second contact end face are in surface contact, the contact area is large, the support is stable and reliable, the creep of the part at high temperature and the quenching stress during quenching can be reduced, the end jump of the spiral bevel gear body 001 meets the technical requirements, and the product quality is ensured.
[0041] At the same time, since the support piece 100 is provided with a plurality of lightening holes 120, the weight of the support piece 100 is reduced, the material is saved, and the support piece 100 is prevented from changing into a spherical shape when heated, so as to affect the stability and reliability of the support.
[0042] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the support tool for furnace loading of the spiral bevel gear heat treatment of the present application by way of example.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, optionally, the support tool for bevel gear heat treatment furnace loading comprises a support piece 100, a first reinforcing ring plate 200, a second reinforcing ring plate 300, and a third reinforcing ring plate 400, which are integrally formed. The first reinforcing ring plate 200, the second reinforcing ring plate 300, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 cooperate with the support piece 100 to reinforce the support piece 100, improve the stability and reliability of the structure of the support piece 100, and avoid deformation during use, which affects the stability of the bevel gear body 001.
[0044] Because the support piece 100, the first reinforcing ring plate 200, the second reinforcing ring plate 300, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 are integrally formed, the structural strength is higher, which is beneficial to batch processing and manufacturing. For example, in this embodiment, the support piece 100, the first reinforcing ring plate 200, the second reinforcing ring plate 300, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 can be integrally formed by casting process.
[0045] In this embodiment, optionally, the support piece 100 is provided with a positioning hole 110 and a plurality of weight reduction holes 120. The support piece 100 has a first support end face 130 and a second support end face 140 arranged opposite in the axial direction of the positioning hole 110, and the two ends of the weight reduction hole 120 are located on the first support end face 130 and the second support end face 140, respectively.
[0046] The positioning hole 110 can be a circular hole, a stepped hole, or other shaped hole, which is convenient for inserting the step 013 on the bevel gear body 001. The weight reduction hole 120 can be at least one of a polygonal hole, a circular hole, and an elliptical hole. For example, in this embodiment, the weight reduction hole 120 is provided as a regular hexagonal hole, and a plurality of weight reduction holes 120 form a honeycomb arrangement, which is stable in structure and good in support effect.
[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the positioning hole 110 is provided as a stepped hole, and the positioning hole 110 comprises a first hole section 111 and a second hole section 112 which are communicated and coaxially arranged. The hole diameter of the first hole section 111 is smaller than that of the second hole section 112, and the hole wall of the first hole section 111 and the hole wall of the second hole section 112 are connected by an annular surface. The ports of some of the plurality of weight reduction holes 120 extend to the annular surface. The end face of the first hole section 111 away from the second hole section 112 is located on the first support end face 130, and the end face of the second hole section 112 away from the first hole section 111 is located on the second support end face 140. That is, the first hole section 111 is designed close to the first support end face 130, and the second hole section 112 is designed close to the second support end face 140.
[0048] By setting the positioning hole 110 as a stepped hole, the support positioning of bevel gear bodies 001 of different sizes can be adapted. For example, when the step 013 of the bevel gear body 001 has a larger outer diameter, it cannot be inserted into the first hole section 111. At this time, the first support end surface 130 is used as the bottom surface, the second support end surface 140 is used as the top surface, the step 013 is inserted into the second hole section 112, and the second support end surface 140 is used to contact the back cone surface 012 of the bevel gear body 001. When the step 013 of the bevel gear body 001 has an outer diameter that is suitable for the diameter of the second hole section 112, the second support end surface 140 can be used as the bottom surface, the first support end surface 130 can be used as the top surface, the step 013 can be inserted into the first hole section 111, and obviously the step 013 can also extend into the second hole section 112, and the first support end surface 130 can be used to contact the back cone surface 012 of the bevel gear body 001.
[0049] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the step 013 can also be inserted into the first hole section 111 from the second hole section 112 to support and position the bevel gear body 001.
[0050] To avoid interference between the step 013 and the annular surface when the step 013 is inserted into the first hole section 111 from the second hole section 112, the first hole section 111 can be set as a tapered hole section. For example, the first hole section 111 has a first port connected to the second hole section 112 and a second port located on the first support end surface 130, and the hole diameter of the first hole section 111 gradually decreases in the direction from the first port to the second port. In this way, the port diameter of the first hole section 111 connected to the second hole section 112 is larger, which can guide the step 013 into the first hole section 111 and reduce the assembly difficulty.
[0051] In this embodiment, optionally, the first reinforcing ring plate 200 is sleeved on the outer side of the support 100, the second reinforcing ring plate 300 is embedded in the first hole section 111, the second reinforcing ring plate 300 contacts the hole wall of the first hole section 111, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 is embedded in the second hole section 112, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 contacts the hole wall of the second hole section 112.
[0052] By setting the first reinforcing ring plate 200, the second reinforcing ring plate 300, and the third reinforcing ring plate 400 on the periphery and the inner ring of the support 100, and by designing them as an integral type, the overall structural strength is high, deformation is not easy, and the service life is long.
[0053] Optionally, to further improve the strength of the overall structure, a concave-convex part recessed or protruded in the radial direction of the positioning hole 110 is formed on at least one of the first reinforcing ring plate 200, the second reinforcing ring plate 300 and the third reinforcing ring plate 400. For example, in the embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the first reinforcing ring plate 200 is formed with a first groove 210 recessed inward in the radial direction of the positioning hole 110, and the inner circumferential surface of the third reinforcing ring plate 400 is formed with a second groove 410 recessed outward in the radial direction of the positioning hole 110.
[0054] The support tool for loading bevel gear into furnace for heat treatment and the heat treatment system provided by the embodiment can support the bevel gear body 001 by inserting the step 013 into the first hole segment 111 or the second hole segment 112 as needed, adapt to the support and positioning of bevel gear bodies 001 of different sizes, and have a wide range of use. Moreover, the first support end surface 130 or the second support end surface 140 is in contact with the back cone surface 012 of the bevel gear body 001, the contact area is increased, and the support stability is improved.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 The embodiment further provides a heat treatment system. The heat treatment system comprises a heating furnace, a separation frame 500 and a plurality of support tools for loading bevel gear into furnace for heat treatment.
[0056] The separation frame 500 comprises a center column 510 and a plurality of support units. Each support unit comprises a plurality of I-shaped skeletons 520. The center column 510 can be a cylinder. The outer circumferential surface of the center column 510 is provided with a plurality of insertion slots. Some of the insertion slots are located at the same height to form an insertion unit. The plurality of insertion units are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the center column 510. The plurality of I-shaped skeletons 520 of each support unit are inserted into the insertion slots at the corresponding height. The I-shaped skeletons 520 are positioned by the center column 510. The support member 100 and the bevel gear body 001 are hoisted from above the center column 510 by hoisting equipment. The support member 100 and the bevel gear body 001 are both passed through the center column 510 and then fall on the corresponding I-shaped skeleton 520. The support member 100 is supported by the plurality of I-shaped skeletons 520 at the same height. In actual operation, when a plurality of bevel gear bodies 001 need to be heat treated, the I-shaped skeletons 520 can be installed from bottom to top in sequence. After the hoisting of the support member 100 on the I-shaped skeleton 520 at the lower layer is completed, the I-shaped skeleton 520 at the adjacent upper layer is installed, and then the hoisting of the support member 100 is performed. The operation is repeated in this way.
[0057] Obviously, after the heat treatment is completed, the support member 100 and the bevel gear body 001 are hoisted and removed from top to bottom in sequence.
[0058] It should be understood that the plurality of bevel gear bodies 001 are heat treated together, which improves efficiency and saves cost.
[0059] The above merely provides the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
