Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solution treatment technology, and more specifically, to a solution treatment device for nitrogen-containing stainless steel. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen-containing stainless steel significantly improves the material's strength, corrosion resistance, creep resistance, and pitting corrosion resistance by adding nitrogen to the steel. The solid solution treatment of nitrogen makes it of great application value in fields such as nuclear power, chemical industry, marine engineering, and medical devices. Since the solid solution treatment of stainless steel requires a high temperature, it needs to be carried out in a nitrogen-filled chamber to prevent nitrogen from easily escaping from the steel and forming a denitrification layer on the surface. At the same time, rapid cooling is required to inhibit the precipitation of nitrides.
[0003] Existing solution treatment equipment mainly includes box-type resistance furnaces, continuous roller hearth furnaces, and vacuum furnaces. During solution treatment, the furnace door needs to be fully opened, and the steel is transported by a robotic arm. This results in problems such as poor airtightness, low working efficiency, and long cooling time. Continuous solution treatment equipment has improved efficiency, but its airtightness is poor and it cannot maintain stable nitrogen conditions. Vacuum furnace solution treatment equipment has good airtightness, but the transfer to cooling time is long, which can lead to the precipitation of nitrides. Therefore, there is a need to provide a solution treatment device for nitrogen-containing stainless steel to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In the utility model, a gear 1 is movably mounted on the conveyor frame via a bearing. Gear 1 engages with a gear 2 on the support component. Under the action of the conveyor component, gear 2 moves linearly, which drives gear 1 to rotate. Gear 1 meshes with the spur teeth, thereby pulling open the sealing plate. After the support component enters the outer shell component, gear 2 drives gear 1 to rotate. The rotation of gear 1 causes the spur teeth to move in the opposite direction, pulling open and closing the sealing plate. This improves the airtightness and temperature uniformity of the solution treatment device, and makes it easier to maintain good nitrogen conditions inside the outer shell, preventing nitrogen from escaping from the steel and forming a denitrification layer on the surface.

At the same time, the sealing plate of the sealing component 2 is pulled open by the gear 2, which can quickly move to the cooling pool, reducing the time required for the parts to be transferred to the cooling pool after solution treatment, thereby reducing the precipitation of nitrides.

[0027] In a specific embodiment: two guide grooves 102 are symmetrically arranged on the conveyor frame 101 in the conveyor component 1. The distance between the two guide grooves 102 is the same as the distance between the two moving wheels 303. The depth of the guide grooves 102 is less than the radius of the moving wheels 303.

A gap is provided in the middle of the conveyor frame 101. The width of the push plate 104 is less than the width of the gap so that the push plate 104 can move with the transmission chain 103.

Gears 201 and spur gears 202 are movably connected via a tooth structure. The sealing plate 203 is fixedly mounted on the spur gears 202. The contact and separation of gears 202 and gears 201 allows gears 201 to drive the spur gears 202 to fully open the sealing plate 203 so that the support component 3 can enter. After the support component 3 enters, gears 202 will drive the other two gears 201 to rotate. When gears 201 rotate and separate from the spur gears 202, the sealing plate 203 is fully closed. The contact surfaces of the sealing plate 203 with the outer shell 401 are provided with flexible material to improve the airtightness of the outer shell 401. The support component 3 can quickly open or close the sealed space, avoiding a large amount of air entering the outer shell 401 during the transportation of parts and affecting the nitrogen conditions required for solution treatment.
[0032] Preferably, the cooling component 5 includes: an inclined plate 501, a second guide groove 502, and a cooling pool 503; the inclined plate 501 has an internal hollow structure with an inclination angle of 30°, one end of the inclined plate 501 is fixedly connected to the end face of the conveyor frame 101, two second guide grooves 502 are provided on the inclined plate 501, the second guide groove 502 and the first guide groove 102 are on the same vertical plane and cooperate with the moving wheel 303, and the other end of the inclined plate 501 is fixedly installed with the cooling pool 503.
[0033] Preferably, the sealing member 26 has the same structure as the sealing member 12, and the sealing member 26 is movably connected to the inclined plate 501 through a bearing.
[0034] In a specific embodiment: the inclined plate 501 has an internal hollow structure with an inclination angle of 30°.

The guide groove 502 and the guide groove 102 are on the same vertical plane and cooperate with the moving wheels 303 so that the supporting component 3 can move smoothly from the guide groove 102 to the guide groove 502. A cooling pool 503 is fixedly installed on the other end of the inclined plate 501. The cooling pool 503 contains coolant for cooling.

The push plate 104 is fixedly installed on the transmission chain 103. The motor 105 drives the transmission chain 103 to rotate, which in turn drives the push plate 104 to move. The push plate 104 can push the supporting component 3 to move forward along the guide grooves 102 and 502. The gear 2 302 in the supporting component 3 meshes with the gear 1 201. The linear motion of the gear 2 302 drives the gear 1 201 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 1 201 will drive the spur gear 202 to move, making the sealing plate 203 move quickly. Opening or closing the shell improves the airtightness and temperature uniformity of the shell 401, which helps maintain good nitrogen conditions and prevents nitrogen from escaping from the steel to the surface and forming a denitrification layer. The inclined plate 501 has an inclination angle of 30°. One end of the inclined plate 501 is connected to the conveyor frame 101, and the other end is fixedly installed with a cooling pool 503. The support component 3 can be quickly transferred from the shell 401 to the cooling pool 503 through the guide groove 502 and its own gravity, which reduces the time required for the parts to be transferred to the cooling pool after solution treatment, effectively avoids the precipitation of nitrides, and thus improves the mechanical properties of nitrogen-containing stainless steel.
