Description

[0021] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Figures 1-4 As shown. An oil tank device for quenching treatment includes: an oil tank cylinder 1, a support frame 2, and an electric lifting arm 3. The oil tank cylinder 1 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 2 by welding. The oil tank cylinder 1 consists of a positioning cylinder 11, a movable cylinder 12, and a spiral water-cooling jacket 13. A rotating stirring assembly 4 is rotatably arranged inside the positioning cylinder 11. The assembly is driven by a servo motor 41 to mesh with a main gear 43, a secondary gear 44, and a secondary gear 45, thereby driving a spiral stirring roller 48 to rotate around the inner wall of the oil tank cylinder 1. The spiral stirring roller 48 includes a transmission mechanism. The moving shaft 481, the disc 482, and the strip blades 483 are arranged in a series. The strip blades 483 periodically abut against the inner wall of the second-section moving cylinder 12 to form a radial and axial composite stirring flow field. This can break the temperature gradient between the edge and center of the oil tank, improve the fluidity of the quenching oil, and increase the uniformity of the workpiece cooling rate. A filter frame 5 for carrying the quenched workpiece is inserted into the second-section moving cylinder 12. The filter frame 5 is linked to the hook 32 of the electric lifting arm 3 through the lifting ring to realize the automated lifting of the workpiece, reduce the risk of manual operation, and improve the loading and unloading efficiency.

[0023] The outer wall of the first positioning cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the spiral water-cooling jacket 13. The second movable cylinder 12 is movably abutted against the inner wall of the bottom end of the first positioning cylinder 11 through a rotating ring. The second movable cylinder 12 is located above the first positioning cylinder 11, and its outer wall is movably abutted against the inner wall of the spiral water-cooling jacket 13. The spiral water-cooling jacket 13 is connected to an external coolant circulation pump through a circulating liquid pipe 111 to achieve double-layer cooling of the oil tank cylinder 1, so that the quenching oil temperature fluctuation range is controlled within ±5℃, and the oil is prevented from aging and coking. A connecting frame 121 is fixedly installed at the top of the second movable cylinder 12 to support the bottom end of the spiral stirring roller 48, enhance the rotational stability of the spiral stirring roller 48, and prevent mechanical wear caused by swaying. A circulating liquid pipe 111 and a slag discharge pipe 112 are fixedly connected to the side wall of a positioning cylinder 11. The circulating liquid pipe 111 is fixedly connected to an external circulating pump. Valves are provided on both the circulating liquid pipe 111 and the slag discharge pipe 112. The slag discharge pipe 112 intercepts metal debris through a magnetic filter element. Combined with the forced oil circulation of the circulating liquid pipe 111, the cleanliness of the quenching oil is maintained at a certain level, reducing the risk of surface contamination of the workpiece.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple discs 482 are fixedly arranged at intervals on the drive shaft 481, and multiple strip blades 483 are fixedly connected to the discs 482. The sidewalls of the strip blades 483 periodically move and abut against the inner wall of the second-section movable cylinder 12. The strip blades 483 are made of flexible stainless steel. During rotation, they scrape the inner wall of the oil groove, which can peel off the oxide scale and oil coke attached to the cylinder wall, reduce impurity deposition, and extend the quenching oil replacement cycle.

[0025] Furthermore, an electric lifting arm 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the support frame 2 away from the oil tank cylinder 1. The top of the electric lifting arm 3 is connected to the boom 31 via an electric turntable. A hook 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the boom 31. The linkage control between the electric lifting arm 3 and the boom 31 can realize the vertical lifting and horizontal angle adjustment of the filter frame 5, ensuring that the inner and outer rings of large workpieces (such as wind turbine bearings) are cooled synchronously when immersed in oil, avoiding local overheating and deformation.

[0026] Furthermore, a lifting ring is movably provided at the top of the filter frame 5 for quick connection with the hook 32; the lifting ring adopts a rotatable design to adapt to the lifting needs of filter frames 5 of different sizes, thus improving versatility.

[0027] Furthermore, a sealing cover 6 is movably connected to the top of the oil tank cylinder 1 via a shaft. Combined with the oil fume exhaust pipe 61 and the activated carbon filter layer, it can adsorb oil fume particles generated during the quenching process, reducing environmental pollution. An oil fume exhaust pipe 61 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 6, and the oil fume exhaust pipe 61 is fixedly connected to an external oil fume collection hood. An activated carbon filter layer is fixedly installed at the connection between the oil fume exhaust pipe 61 and the sealing cover 6. The activated carbon filter layer adopts a honeycomb structure to improve oil fume adsorption efficiency and can be replaced periodically, meeting industrial waste gas emission standards.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the quenching oil tank device is working, the servo motor 41 drives the three-jaw turntable 42 to rotate, the main gear 43 drives three sets of auxiliary gears 44 to rotate synchronously, and through the meshing linkage of the secondary gear 45 and the driven gear 46, the three rotating arms 47 rotate around the axis with different phase differences, driving the spiral stirring roller 48 to form a spiral turbulence in the two-section movable cylinder 12. Among them, the strip blades 483 of the spiral stirring roller 48 periodically scrape the cylinder wall, which not only enhances the oil disturbance but also prevents oxide scale deposition. Through the three-stage gear transmission system; the main gear 43-auxiliary gear 44-secondary gear 45-driven gear 46 realizes the compound motion of stirring, which improves the turbulent kinetic energy compared with the traditional single-shaft stirring; at the same time, the spiral water-cooling jacket 13 and the movable contact of the two-section movable cylinder 12 form a spiral cooling channel, which increases the heat exchange area compared with the straight pipe type; secondly, the electric lifting arm 3 cooperates with the lifting ring of the filter frame 5 through the hook 32, which can complete the workpiece lifting and quenching by opening and closing the sealing cover 6, avoiding the leakage of oil fumes. During quenching, the high-temperature oil is discharged and cooled through the circulating liquid pipe 111, and the oil fumes are purified through the activated carbon filter layer and discharged through the oil fume exhaust pipe 61. The whole system realizes a fully enclosed operation of quenching-stirring-cooling-fume exhaust.

[0029] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
