[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil quenching furnace technology, and in particular to an oil quenching furnace cold chamber pressure regulating device and an oil quenching furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Quenching technology refers to the process of heating a workpiece to above its critical temperature, holding it at that temperature for a period of time, and then rapidly immersing it in the cooling oil of an oil quenching furnace for cooling. Oil quenching furnaces are widely used for processing alloy structural steel, bearing steel, spring steel, die steel, high-speed steel, and other materials.

[0003] In existing oil quenching furnaces, after the heat-treated workpiece is pulled from the hot chamber into the cold chamber, the high-temperature workpiece releases a large amount of heat when it enters the oil. The nitrogen and oil fumes in the cold chamber expand rapidly and instantly fill the entire cold chamber, causing the pressure in the cold chamber to rise sharply. This can easily cause the furnace door to be pushed open, resulting in the flue gas being directly discharged into the factory area, causing pollution. Utility Model Content

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the technical advantages of the oil quenching furnace cold chamber pressure regulating device and oil quenching furnace provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The specific structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0045] This embodiment provides a pressure regulating device for the cold chamber of an oil quenching furnace, comprising: a cold chamber body 1, a negative pressure chamber, and a regulating mechanism; the cold chamber body 1 is provided with a furnace door 2, a nitrogen inlet 3, a first pressure relief port 6, and a pressure sensor 4; a furnace door 5 is provided at the furnace door 2; an oil tank 14 is provided below the cold chamber body 1; the pressure sensor 4 is used to detect the pressure inside the cold chamber body 1; the negative pressure chamber is located outside the cold chamber body 1, and a second pressure relief port is provided on the negative pressure chamber, and the second pressure relief port is connected to the first pressure relief port 6; the regulating mechanism is located at the first pressure relief port 6, and the regulating mechanism is used to adjust the opening degree of the first pressure relief port 6; and / or; the regulating mechanism is located at the second pressure relief port, and the regulating mechanism is used to adjust the opening degree of the second pressure relief port.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the heat-treated workpiece enters the oil tank 14, increasing the pressure inside the cold chamber body 1, the pressure sensor 4 detects the pressure inside the cold chamber body 1 in real time. When the pressure exceeds a threshold, the opening of the corresponding pressure relief port is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism to connect the cold chamber body 1 with the negative pressure chamber, thereby relieving pressure through the negative pressure chamber and preventing the furnace door 5 from being forced open, thus preventing flue gas from being discharged into the factory area and causing pollution. At the same time, because the negative pressure chamber is in a negative pressure state, the pressure relief is faster after the cold chamber body 1 is connected to the negative pressure chamber.

[0047] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a control module is also included; the adjustment mechanism is electrically connected to the control module, and under the action of the control module, the adjustment mechanism is driven to reciprocate to adjust the opening degree of the corresponding pressure relief port.

[0048] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 4 is electrically connected to the control module. When the pressure sensor 4 detects that the pressure inside the cold chamber body 1 is greater than the threshold, the control module controls the adjustment mechanism to adjust the opening of the corresponding pressure relief port, which facilitates automated control. However, it is not limited to this; the adjustment mechanism can also be manually controlled.

[0049] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a mounting plate 7 is also included; a connection port is provided on the cold chamber body 1, and the second pressure relief port is connected to the connection port; the mounting plate 7 is disposed inside the cold chamber body 1 and connected to the connection port, and a first pressure relief port 6 is provided on the mounting plate 7; the adjustment mechanism includes a movable plate 8 and a driver, the movable plate 8 is disposed at the first pressure relief port 6, the driver is electrically connected to the control module, and the driver is used to drive the movable plate 8 to reciprocate to adjust the opening degree of the first pressure relief port 6. The adjustment mechanism is only disposed at the first pressure relief port 6, the overall structure is simple, and the installation is convenient and stable.

[0050] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a mounting frame 9, and the driver is a telescopic motor 10; both the mounting frame 9 and the telescopic motor 10 are disposed inside the cold chamber body 1, and the telescopic motor 10 is mounted on the first pressure relief port 6 via the mounting frame 9; the output end of the telescopic motor 10 is connected to the movable plate 8. The output end of the telescopic motor 10 drives the movable plate 8 to extend and retract, so that the movable plate 8 blocks or opens the first pressure relief port 6, which is stable and easy to adjust.

[0051] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a hinge 11, and the movable plate 8 is connected to the mounting plate 7 via the hinge 11. The movable plate 8 is rotated by the output end of the telescopic motor 10, which can open the first pressure relief port 6 as needed, making the adjustment flexible and convenient.

[0052] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the mounting frame 9 includes four support legs 12. One end of each support leg 12 is connected to the mounting plate 7 and is evenly spaced around the first pressure relief port 6. The other end of each support leg 12 is connected to the body of the telescopic motor 10. The structure is simple, easy to install, and stable.

[0053] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a rotating shaft, and the driver is a rotary motor; the movable plate 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 7 via the rotating shaft; the output end of the rotary motor is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0054] In this embodiment, the movable plate 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 7 via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft can be located in the middle of the first pressure relief port 6 or on one side of the first pressure relief port 6. It is driven to rotate by a rotary motor, thereby driving the movable plate 8 to rotate. The opening degree of the first pressure relief port 6 can be opened as needed, which is flexible and convenient.

[0055] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the negative pressure cavity is a vacuum cavity 13.

[0056] In this embodiment, high-pressure nitrogen is introduced into the nitrogen inlet 3, resulting in a large pressure difference. This allows the cold chamber body 1 to be quickly filled to the set oil level pressure, enabling the workpiece to be quickly immersed in oil and complete the quenching process. The purpose of using the vacuum chamber 13 is that its strong vacuum suction can quickly draw in the oil fumes released instantaneously during quenching. When the actual pressure inside the cold chamber body 1 is much higher than the set pressure, the first pressure relief port 6 is fully opened by the adjusting mechanism. When the actual pressure inside the cold chamber body 1 is lower than the set pressure, the first pressure relief port 6 is fully closed by the adjusting mechanism. When the actual pressure inside the cold chamber body 1 is slightly higher than the set pressure, the opening percentage of the first pressure relief port 6 is controlled by the adjusting mechanism to ultimately stabilize the pressure at the set pressure value. The vacuum in vacuum chamber 13 is ensured to be maintained for each equipment process cycle. Before removing the workpiece from furnace door 5, a vacuum is evacuated from the cold chamber body 1, and the first pressure relief port 6 is opened, connecting the cold chamber body 1 and vacuum chamber 13. This is to expel all nitrogen gas and the large amount of oil fumes generated during quenching from both the cold chamber body 1 and vacuum chamber 13. After reaching 5 Pa, the vacuum evacuation of the cold chamber body 1 is stopped, and the first pressure relief port 6 is closed, disconnecting the cold chamber body 1 from vacuum chamber 13. The cold chamber body 1 is then filled with nitrogen to atmospheric pressure, and furnace door 5 is opened to remove the workpiece. Thus, when the next batch of workpieces undergoes oil quenching, the vacuum chamber 13, being under vacuum, also functions as a vacuum suction system.

[0057] This embodiment is not limited to this; the vacuum chamber 13 can also be evacuated separately by an external vacuum pumping device.

[0058] In this optional embodiment, the volume of the vacuum chamber 13 is greater than or equal to the volume of the cold chamber body 1, effectively ensuring the pressure relief function.

[0059] This embodiment provides an oil quenching furnace, including the aforementioned oil quenching furnace cold chamber pressure regulating device. Therefore, the technical advantages and effects achieved by the oil quenching furnace include those achieved by the aforementioned oil quenching furnace cold chamber pressure regulating device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
