[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a suspension hanger for heat treatment, including a suspension rod 1, at least one hanging basket 2 is provided on the suspension rod 1, and at least one workpiece groove 4 for installing workpieces is provided on the hanging basket 2; mounting sleeves 3 are provided on both sides of the suspension rod 1, and the hanging basket 2 is mounted on the suspension rod 1 through the mounting sleeves 3.
[0028] Specifically, the heat treatment suspension device includes a suspension rod 1, which is a one-piece heat-resistant round steel inverted U-shaped frame with a large chamfered corner at the top of the U-shape forming a ring. At least one hanging basket 2 is provided on the suspension rod 1. The number of hanging baskets 2 can be selected according to the working environment requirements, such as one, two, or three, to further meet the needs. Each hanging basket 2 has at least one workpiece slot 4 for mounting workpieces, allowing for better workpiece installation. The size and opening of the workpiece slot 4 can be designed according to different workpiece requirements. If necessary, wire and / or pins can be used for binding, enabling flexible compatibility of various types and specifications of workpieces, such as shafts, connecting rods, and ring-shaped irregular parts. When heat treatment processes are similar, they can be produced in the same furnace on the same production line, further improving the applicability of the suspension device. Mounting sleeves 3 are provided on both sides of the suspension rod 1, and the hanging basket 2 is mounted on the suspension rod 1 through the mounting sleeves 3, thereby improving the stability of the hanging basket 2 during installation.
[0029] Specifically, in use, the hanging basket 2 is installed on the lifting rod 1 through the mounting sleeve 3 according to the work requirements. After installation, the workpiece is placed on the workpiece groove 4. After placement, the lifting rod 1 is clamped by an external device and placed inside the predetermined heating furnace for heat treatment. Since the workpiece is located in the workpiece groove 4, the accumulation of workpieces can be avoided, further improving the practicality of the hanging tool.
[0030] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 1, and the basket 2 and the mounting sleeve 3 are welded together by reinforcing ribs. In this embodiment, the fixing sleeve is a conical through-hole design, the diameter of its through hole is equal to the diameter of the through hole of the basket 2, and it is clearance-fitted with the outer diameter of the lifting rod 1. The diameter of its upper plane is slightly smaller than the diameter of the through hole of the basket 2, which can further improve the stability of the mounting sleeve 3 and the lifting rod 1 during installation, thereby improving the service life of the lifting device.
[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, the mounting sleeve 3 is slidably connected to the lifting rod 1, thus allowing the distance between multiple lifting baskets 2 to be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, further meeting work requirements. The mounting sleeve 3 is rotatably connected to the lifting basket 2 via a snap-fit member 11, improving the stability between the mounting sleeve 3 and the lifting basket 2 and meeting work requirements. A positioning mechanism is provided between the mounting sleeve 3 and the lifting rod 1; once the lifting basket 2 is adjusted to its position, the positioning mechanism fixes the state of the lifting basket 2, facilitating the use of the entire lifting device. Therefore, by sliding the mounting sleeve 3 and the lifting rod 1, the distance between two lifting baskets 2 can be adjusted according to the needs of workpieces of different models and sizes, avoiding interference with the heat treatment requirements of the workpiece. Furthermore, when the heat treatment processes are similar, they can be produced in the same furnace on the same production line, further improving the applicability of the lifting device and resulting in better performance.
[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a limiting block 10 fixedly connected to the mounting sleeve 3, and a vertical groove 7 and a blocking groove 8 are provided on the hanging rod 1. The blocking groove 8 and the vertical groove 7 are connected by a guide groove 9. Specifically, there are multiple sets of blocking grooves 8 and guide grooves 9, all of which are provided on the hanging rod 1. The distance of the hanging basket 2 can be adjusted as needed to meet the working requirements.
[0033] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the size of the limiting block 10 is adapted to the size of the blocking groove 8 to improve the stability of the mounting sleeve 3 when it is installed on the lifting rod 1. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the hanging basket 2, the hanging basket 2 is first driven to slide the mounting sleeve 3 on the lifting rod 1. At this time, the limiting block 10 on the mounting sleeve 3 slides vertically in the vertical groove 7. After sliding to the predetermined position, the mounting sleeve 3 is rotated, and the limiting block 10 on the mounting sleeve 3 enters the blocking groove 8 through the guide groove 9. Then, the mounting sleeve 3 is driven to slide down a certain distance. At this time, the limiting block 10 is engaged at the bottom of the blocking groove 8, which can fix the state of the hanging basket 2 and facilitate the use of the workpiece heat treatment operation in the later stage.
[0034] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the snap-fit component 11 includes an annular component fixedly connected to the mounting sleeve 3, and an annular groove is provided at the bottom of the hanging basket 2. The annular component is rotatably connected in the annular groove, thereby improving the stability when the mounting sleeve 3 is connected to the hanging basket 2.
[0035] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the vertical groove 7 extends through the bottom of the suspension rod 1, and the bottom of the suspension rod 1 is provided with a blocking part 6, which facilitates the removal of the basket 2 from the suspension rod 1 by driving the mounting sleeve 3, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the basket 2.
[0036] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the blocking part 6 includes a threaded rod, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod, and a threaded groove is opened at the bottom of the lifting rod 1. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded groove. When it is necessary to disassemble the basket 2, the threaded rod is taken out from the threaded groove, which facilitates the installation of the sleeve 3 and the disassembly of the basket 2 from the lifting rod 1, further meeting the work requirements.
[0037] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the lifting rod 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 5, which further improves the stability of the lifting device during use, reduces the shaking of the lifting device, and avoids affecting the heat treatment operation of the workpiece.
[0038] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the lifting rod 1, the lifting basket 2, the mounting sleeve 3, and the snap-fit component 11 are all made of heat-resistant steel, which improves the service life of the lifting device. Furthermore, the entire lifting device structure will not deform during heat treatment, meeting operational requirements. Through lifespan limit testing, the optimal composition range of the heat-resistant steel is: C: 0.3-0.5%, Si: 1.0-2.5%, P: ≤0.04%, S: ≤0.03%, Cr: 24-27%, Ni: 19-22%, further improving the service life of the lifting device.
