[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of an integrated intelligent monitoring and automatic replenishment device for quenching fluid concentration. The device includes a main pipe 1, which serves as the primary channel for quenching fluid flow and plays a crucial role in the entire device, providing a stable flow path for the quenching fluid. Two stainless steel springs 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main pipe 1. These springs possess good elasticity and corrosion resistance, maintaining stable performance over long-term use. A connecting block 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of each spring 2, connecting the spring 2 and a conical plate 4 to ensure force transmission. The conical plate 4 is also fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting block 3. When the quenching fluid flows through the main pipe 1, the conical plate 4 is subjected to pressure impact from the fluid, causing it to compress the stainless steel springs 2, allowing the quenching fluid to flow smoothly. This structural design effectively prevents backflow, avoiding interference with the detection results of the detector 17 and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the detection.
[0033] A connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main pipeline 1. The connecting pipe 5 connects the pneumatic cylinder 6 and the main pipeline 1 to realize the functions of liquid extraction and replenishment. The pneumatic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 5. The pneumatic cylinder 6 is a key component for automatic liquid replenishment; it drives the movement of the connecting plate 7 through changes in gas pressure. The driving end of the pneumatic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 moves under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder 6, thereby driving the movement of the sealing gasket 8. The top of the connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the sealing gasket 8, which is in close contact with the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5. During movement, it effectively prevents liquid leakage, ensuring the sealing and reliability of the automatic liquid replenishment process. Quick-connect assemblies are fixedly connected to both ends of the main pipeline 1. The quick-connect assemblies facilitate the connection and disassembly of the main pipeline 1 with other components, improving the installation and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.
[0034] The connecting block 3 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the main pipe 1. This sliding connection allows the connecting block 3 to move flexibly within the main pipe 1, thereby driving the movement of the conical plate 4. The conical plate 4 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the main pipe 1. When subjected to the pressure impact of the quenching liquid, the conical plate 4 can slide within the main pipe 1, achieving the blocking and passage of the liquid. A detector 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the main pipe 1. The detector 17 can detect the concentration of the quenching liquid passing through the bottom of the main pipe 1, providing data support for the automatic replenishment of the equipment and ensuring that the concentration of the quenching liquid is always maintained within a suitable range.
[0035] The connecting plate 7 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5. This sliding connection allows the connecting plate 7 to move flexibly within the connecting pipe 5, enabling the extraction and compression of liquid under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder 6. The sealing gasket 8 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5. During the sliding process, the sealing gasket 8 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5, ensuring the sealing performance during liquid extraction and replenishment.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The quick-connect assembly includes connecting pipe two 15 and connecting pipe one 14, which are the main components used to connect the main pipe 1 to other pipes. Connecting pipe two 15 is externally fixed to one end of the main pipe 1, and connecting pipe one 14 is externally fixed to the other end of the main pipe 1. This connection method allows the main pipe 1 to be easily connected to other components. Connecting pipe one 14 has an external sliding contact plate 9, which can slide flexibly on the outside of connecting pipe one 14.
[0037] During installation, the position of the sliding plate 9 is adjusted by sliding it to facilitate engagement with the connecting pipe 15. A stainless steel spring 10 is externally fixed to the connecting pipe 14, providing the sliding plate 9 with springback force. When the sliding plate 9 engages with the connecting pipe 15, the stainless steel spring 10 springs back the sliding plate 9, allowing the ball bearings 11 to accurately align with the connecting channel 16 for engagement and fixation. Multiple ball bearings 11 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 14. The presence of the ball bearings 11 makes the sliding plate 9 slide more smoothly, reducing friction. Simultaneously, during engagement, the ball bearings 11 can tightly cooperate with the connecting channel 16, improving the stability of the connection.
[0038] The other end of the stainless steel spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 9. This connection method ensures that the stainless steel spring 10 can effectively apply a rebound force to the slide plate 9. A retaining ring 12 is movably connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 9. The function of the retaining ring 12 is to limit the sliding range of the slide plate 9 and prevent the slide plate 9 from disengaging from the connecting pipe 14 during sliding, thus ensuring the stability of the slide plate 9 during installation and use.
[0039] The retaining ring 12 is internally fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 14. This fixing method allows the retaining ring 12 to be firmly installed on the connecting pipe 14, thereby effectively limiting the sliding range of the slide plate 9. The ball bearing 11 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 9. This connection method allows the ball bearing 11 to rotate flexibly on the inner wall of the slide plate 9, further improving the smoothness of the slide plate 9.
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3A sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first connecting pipe 14. The sealing ring 13 is made of rubber, which has good elasticity and sealing performance, effectively preventing liquid leakage at the connection point and ensuring the overall sealing performance of the equipment. The second connecting pipe 15 has a connecting channel 16 on its outside. The connecting channel 16 cooperates with the ball bearing 11. During installation, the ball bearing 11 can be engaged with the inner wall of the connecting channel 16 to achieve a firm connection between the first connecting pipe 14 and the second connecting pipe 15.
[0041] The inner wall of the sealing ring 13 is movably connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 2 15. The sealing ring 13 can tightly wrap around the outside of the connecting pipe 2 15, effectively preventing liquid leakage at the joint. The sealing ring 13 is made of rubber. The properties of rubber give the sealing ring 13 good elasticity and sealing performance, enabling it to adapt to different working environments and pressure conditions.
[0042] Working principle: When the equipment is working, the quenching liquid flows into the quenching tank through the main pipe 1, forming a circulating flow path. During this process, the quenching liquid passes through the bottom of the detector 17 fixed at the top of the main pipe 1. The detector 17 can accurately detect the concentration of the quenching liquid, providing key data support for the subsequent automatic liquid replenishment operation of the equipment, thereby ensuring that the quenching liquid is always maintained in a suitable concentration range, ensuring the stability and reliability of the quenching process. Inside the main pipe 1, the conical plate 4 and the stainless steel spring 2 work together. When the quenching liquid flows, the liquid pressure impacts the conical plate 4, causing it to squeeze the stainless steel spring 2, thus allowing the quenching liquid to pass smoothly. This ingenious design can effectively prevent liquid backflow and avoid backflow liquid interfering with the detection of the detector 17, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.
[0043] Once the detector 17 detects a decrease in the concentration of the quenching fluid or an insufficient fluid level, it will trigger an automatic fluid replenishment mechanism. At this time, the pneumatic cylinder 6 inside the connecting pipe 5 will start, and its drive end will drive the connecting plate 7 to move, thereby causing the sealing gasket 8 to slide on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5. The sealing gasket 8 first draws out the quenching fluid from the external storage device, and then the pneumatic cylinder 6 drives in the opposite direction to squeeze the drawn quenching fluid into the main pipe 1. Then, it is replenished into the circulation system through another conical plate 4 to complete the automatic fluid replenishment process. During the equipment installation process, the sliding plate 9 on the outside of the connecting pipe 14 is aligned with the connecting pipe 2 15 and engaged. Then, the stainless steel spring 2 10 rebounds and pushes the sliding plate 9, so that the ball bearing 11 on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 14 is accurately engaged in the connecting channel 16 on the outside of the connecting pipe 2 15, realizing a quick and stable connection of the main pipe 1, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
