Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal heat treatment technology, and in particular to a surface quenching device for marine crankshafts. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of marine engines, the surface quality of marine crankshafts directly affects engine performance and lifespan. Surface hardening is an important process for improving the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength of crankshafts.
[0003] For example, patent document CN104831019A discloses a surface hardening device for marine crankshafts. This device is equipped with left and right eccentric clamps. After hardening one journal, the rotation center is supported by a change of clamps to ensure that the other journal is located at the center of the sensor. The hardening carriage on the moving worktable moves the sensor to the journal to be hardened. By combining the movement of the tailstock and the movement of the hardening carriage, all journals can be hardened.
[0004] Current manufacturing processes do not adequately consider the large size and complex shape of crankshafts. Because ordinary induction coils cannot fully cover their curved surfaces, the uniformity of the hardened layer is affected. Furthermore, poor coordination between the cooling system and the heating zone can easily lead to the formation of soft hardened bands or crankshaft deformation. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the top of the base plate is provided with sliding grooves on both the front and rear sides.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, a surface hardening device for marine crankshafts includes a frame with a three-axis moving mechanism mounted on it. An adjustable heating mechanism is mounted on the three-axis moving mechanism. The adjustable heating mechanism includes a mounting plate 201, which is bolted to the bottom of the three-axis moving mechanism. A turntable 202 is bolted to the bottom of the mounting plate 201. A motor 208 is bolted to the top of the turntable 202. A mounting plate 203 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the turntable 202. The top of the mounting plate 203 is connected to the output end of the motor 208 via a coupling. A connecting plate 204 is welded to the front end of the mounting plate 203. Plate 204 is bolted to a cooling component 205. The bottom of mounting plate 203 is bolted to a linear module 207. The bottom of linear module 207 is bolted to multiple induction heating plates 206. One end of linear module 207 is bolted to a motor 209. The power input end of linear module 207 is connected to the output end of motor 209 via a coupling. Linear module 207 includes two motor mounting plates. Multiple optical shafts are connected to the motor mounting plates via screws. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the motor mounting plates. Two sliders are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw. The sliders and optical shafts are slidably connected.
[0027] The frame includes a base plate 101, on which a support plate 102 is bolted. A chuck 103 is rotatably connected to the support plate 102, and the chuck 103 can clamp both ends of the crankshaft.
[0028] The three-axis moving mechanism includes multiple sliding plates 301, which are slidably connected to the top of the base plate 101. A gantry frame 302 is welded to one side of the sliding plate 301. Multiple mounting plates 303 are bolted to the inner sides of the front and rear ends of the gantry frame 302. A linear module 2 304 is bolted to one end of the mounting plate 303. A linear module 3 305 is bolted to the linear module 2 304. A mounting plate 201 is bolted to the bottom end of the linear module 3 305. A synchronous belt component 306 is connected to the linear module 2 304. The other end of the synchronous belt component 306 is connected to another linear module 2 304. The linear module 2 304 includes two motor mounting plates, which are connected to each other. Multiple optical axes are connected by screws. Lead screws are rotatably connected to two motor mounting plates. Slider blocks are threaded onto the lead screws and slidably connected to the optical axes. Linear module 305 includes two motor mounting plates, with multiple optical axes connected to them by screws. Lead screws are rotatably connected to the two motor mounting plates, with sliders threaded onto the lead screws and slidably connected to the optical axes. The motor mounting plates of linear module 305 are bolted to the sliders of linear module 2 304. Synchronous belt component 306 includes two pulleys and a synchronous belt. The pulleys on synchronous belt component 306 are keyed to the lead screws of linear module 2 304. The lead screw at the upper end of linear module 2 304 moves synchronously through synchronous belt component 306.
[0029] The cooling component 205 is equipped with multiple nozzles, and the cooling rate is increased by increasing the number of nozzles.
[0030] The top and front and rear sides of the base plate 101 are provided with sliding grooves, which allow the sliding plate 301 to slide smoothly on the support plate 102.
[0031] The nozzles on the cooling component 205 are all angled toward the crankshaft to be quenched, and the nozzles being oriented toward the crankshaft to be quenched can accelerate the quenching speed.
[0032] Working principle: First, the three-axis moving mechanism is moved to one end of the frame. When the crankshaft is mounted on the chuck 103, the three-axis moving mechanism is activated. Mounting plate 303 drives linear module 305 to its highest position. Linear module 305 is equipped with an adjustable heating mechanism. When linear module 305 is raised, the adjustable heating mechanism is also raised synchronously. The adjustable heating mechanism moves according to the shape of the crankshaft. When processing the crankshaft, linear module 204 descends, driving linear module 305 to descend as well. The descent of linear module 305 brings the adjustable heating mechanism down with it, ensuring that the induction heating plate 206 in the adjustable heating mechanism can fully heat the main journal of the crankshaft. Motor 209 is activated, driving the bidirectional lead screw on linear module 1 207 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw drives the slider to move. The slider is fixedly connected to the induction heating plate 206. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw drives the slider to move, and at the same time, it also drives the induction heating plate 206. The heating plate 206 moves, adjusting the distance between the induction heating plate 206 and the crankshaft to ensure the thermal efficiency of induction heating. After heating, the cooling component 205 quickly sprays out condenser to quench the heated part of the crankshaft. After the main journal is quenched, the connecting rod journal is quenched. At this time, the linear module 2 304 is stationary, the motor 1 208 starts to drive the mounting plate 2 203 to rotate, and at the same time, the motor 2 209 starts to rotate, driving the linear module 1 207 to start moving. The movement of the linear module 1 207 drives the induction heating plate 206 to move, and the sliding plate 301 also moves synchronously, so that the adjustable heating mechanism always moves along the angle of the crankshaft to ensure that it will not collide with the crankshaft. After the turn is completed, the connecting rod journal is quenched. There is an angle between the connecting rod journals. After a set of connecting rod journals is quenched, the chuck 103 rotates, so that the next set of connecting rod journals is in a position parallel to the base plate 101, and then the quenching continues.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
