Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat treatment equipment, specifically to an end-quenching device for heat treatment. Background Technology
[0002] End-quench testing is one method for determining the hardenability of steel. Hardenability is an inherent property of steel, determining the depth of hardening and hardness distribution that steel can achieve during quenching. End-quench testing allows for the evaluation of the hardening effect of steel under different cooling conditions, thus enabling the selection of appropriate quenching processes to improve steel performance. In the end-quench test, standard-sized specimens are austenitized, and one end face is water-cooled. The relationship between hardness and distance from the water-cooled end is then measured along the axial direction. The hardenability is evaluated by measuring the hardness distribution of the steel during quenching.
[0003] Currently, in end-quenching experiments, the sample blank first undergoes normalizing and quenching heat treatment, then is placed on an end-quenching testing machine. The sample is then cooled by a water jet sprayed from the machine onto its end face. However, this method cannot determine or adjust the water flow height required by the standard, and the height distance between the nozzle and the sample cannot be adjusted. This poses a risk of non-compliance with standard requirements when testing samples of different heights, making it unsuitable for testing samples of varying heights. Utility Model Content

The first outlet faces upwards, and a mounting plate is provided above it. The mounting plate has a sample mounting hole for mounting a sample. The mounting plate is connected to a height adjustment component that adjusts the distance between the sample and the first outlet according to the sample size. A baffle is installed above the first outlet to prevent the sample end face from being out of sync with the water column when the sample initially contacts the water column ejected from the first outlet.
[0007] The aforementioned end-quenching device for heat treatment includes a height adjustment component comprising a threaded column mounted on a first branch pipe, a mounting plate slidably connected to the threaded column, and locking bolts for fastening the mounting plate by threading the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate to the threaded column.
[0008] The aforementioned heat treatment end quenching device has a movable groove on the mounting plate that is slidably connected to the threaded column and is used to adjust the alignment of the sample mounting hole and the first water outlet.
[0009] The aforementioned heat treatment end quenching device has a vertical rod installed on the first branch pipe, and a baffle is rotatably installed on the top of the vertical rod; a height gauge is also installed on the vertical rod to detect the height of the water column when water is sprayed from the first outlet.
[0010] In the aforementioned heat treatment end quenching device, the water inlet pipe is also connected to the second water outlet through a second branch pipe. The second water outlet is located above the water tank and is set downwards.
[0011] The aforementioned heat treatment end quenching device has a first valve on the first branch pipe that can adjust the outflow rate of water, and a second valve on the second branch pipe.

The mounting plate 10 is connected to a height adjustment component, which can adjust the distance between the sample and the first water outlet 5 according to the size of the sample.
[0020] The inlet pipe 2 is connected to the first branch pipe 3 and the second branch pipe 4 respectively, and the first branch pipe 3 is connected to the first outlet 5.

[0022] The first branch pipe 3 is equipped with a first valve 7, and the second branch pipe 4 is equipped with a second valve 8, which can adjust the water flow rate. The first valve 7 and the second valve 8 work together to ensure the stability of the terminal water pressure.
[0023] The height adjustment assembly includes a threaded column 9 installed on the first branch pipe 3, a mounting plate 10 slidably connected to the threaded column 9, and locking bolts 11 that are threadedly connected to the threaded column 9 and fasten the mounting plate 10 at the upper and lower ends.
[0024] The mounting plate 10 has a sample mounting hole 12. During the test, the center of the sample mounting hole 12 is aligned with the center of the first water outlet 5 to ensure that the sample and the water column are aligned and coaxial.
[0025] The mounting plate 10 has a movable groove 13 that allows for adjustment of the alignment and coaxiality between the sample mounting hole 12 and the first outlet 5. The threaded column 9 passes through the movable groove 13 and slides within it to ensure that the sample mounting hole 12 and the first outlet 5 are aligned and coaxial. Then, it is securely connected to the mounting plate 10 by locking bolts 11.
[0026] A baffle 15 is installed above the first water outlet 5. The baffle 15 can prevent the sample end face from being out of sync with the water column when the sample initially comes into contact with the water column sprayed from the first water outlet 5.
[0027] A vertical rod 14 is provided on the first branch pipe 3, and a baffle 15 is rotatably installed on the top of the vertical rod 14 to facilitate opening the first water outlet 5, so that the water sprayed from the first water outlet contacts the end face of the sample and cools the sample.

[0029] During the test, the mounting plate 10 is first installed on the threaded column 9, and the sample mounting hole 12 is aligned and coaxial with the first outlet 5 below.

[0030] The sample is installed in the sample mounting hole, and then the baffle 15 above the first water outlet 5 is opened so that the water jet from the first water outlet 5 comes into contact with the end face of the sample, thereby cooling the sample. At the same time, the height of the water jet is observed through the height gauge 16 on one side, and the speed of the water flow is adjusted through the first valve 7 and the second valve 8 to ensure that the water pressure at the first water outlet is stable and meets the standard conditions for the height of the water jet.
