TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to induction equipment technical field, concretely relates to a novel inductor for plane induction quenching. BACKGROUND
[0002] Induction quenching is a kind of surface quenching technology commonly used in actual production, and its principle is to use electromagnetic induction law to generate eddy current heating in the workpiece, which is widely used in industrial manufacturing due to high thermal efficiency and easy control of quenching layer thickness. In induction quenching operation, the main working component is electromagnetic inductor. When the workpiece is inductively heated, the heated surface of the workpiece needs to be close to the electromagnetic inductor. After the heated surface reaches the specified temperature, it is placed in the cooling medium for cooling. The type of electromagnetic inductor is an important factor to determine the depth and uniformity of the quenched layer of the heated surface. In the past, the electromagnetic inductor for heating plane workpieces mainly used a plane device. During induction heating, the distribution of eddy current in the workpiece is uneven, and the center part has a small induction current density. During the heating process, the heated plane has the defects of difficult heating in the center part and low heating rate, which easily causes the problems of insufficient core quenching effective depth or peripheral overburning, thereby reducing the yield of induction quenching.
[0003] To ensure the uniformity of the effective quenching layer depth of the workpiece center and edge, the existing treatment methods are: 1) extending the induction heating time; 2) shortening the distance between the heated surface and the electromagnetic inductor. In the above two methods, extending the heating time will cause the edge layer depth of the workpiece to exceed the process requirement, and shortening the distance between the electromagnetic inductor and the workpiece may cause the edge part of the workpiece to overburn. These two treatment methods are difficult to operate, and the yield of the workpiece is low. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
