Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial furnace technology, and in particular to a self-circulating oil tank type industrial furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In metal heat treatment processes, oil bath industrial furnaces are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing industries as crucial equipment for quenching or cooling workpieces. These furnaces utilize an oil bath within a sealed furnace body. Workpieces are heated to a preset temperature and then immersed in the cooling medium to achieve surface microstructure transformation and performance enhancement. To ensure the stability and uniformity of the quenching effect, industrial furnace systems place high demands on the flow efficiency, heat exchange performance, and circulation capacity of the cooling oil.
[0003] Currently, traditional oil bath industrial furnaces mainly employ paddle or impeller stirring structures to mechanically agitate the oil, promoting uniform oil temperature distribution and improving heat exchange efficiency. However, this type of stirring method suffers from numerous dead zones and uneven mixing, especially under high-viscosity oil conditions, where oil circulation is obstructed, easily leading to insufficient cooling and affecting quenching uniformity and efficiency. Furthermore, long-term operation of the stirring components results in severe wear, high energy consumption, and complex structural maintenance, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-efficiency, high-precision heat treatment processes. Therefore, a self-circulating oil bath industrial furnace is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a self-circulating oil tank industrial furnace, which aims to improve the problem that traditional oil tank industrial furnaces mainly use paddle or impeller stirring structures to mechanically stir the oil to promote uniform oil temperature distribution and improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-circulating oil tank type industrial furnace, including a support frame, an outer shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame, a connecting flange fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outer shell, an inner shell fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting flange, an inner oil tank fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell, a circulation component installed on one side of the inner oil tank, a feed pipe installed on the upper surface of the inner shell, and a sealing door provided on one side of the inner shell;
[0006] The circulation assembly includes a first transfer pump, one side of which is disposed on one side of the inner oil tank.

The output end of the first transfer pump is fixedly connected to a second coil, the outer wall of the second coil is disposed through the side wall of the inner oil tank, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second coil.
[0007] Furthermore, a connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outer shell, and a storage tank is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage tank, and a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the storage tank.
[0009] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage tank, and a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor through the storage tank. Multiple stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, a transmission pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the storage tank, and a threaded pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission pipe.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, a wave-shaped coil is set inside the inner oil tank. The conical hopper on the coil can quickly and fully collect the oil inside the inner oil tank. Then, a transfer pump connects the connecting pipe to the coil. The transfer pump evenly transfers the oil to the inner oil tank through multiple nozzles on the outside of the coil, thereby achieving a highly efficient self-circulation effect. This solves the problem of insufficient oil circulation and low heat exchange efficiency caused by relying on paddle stirring to drive the oil flow during the traditional workpiece cooling process, thus improving the practicality of the industrial furnace.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, cold water is injected into the storage tank, and then the cold water inside the storage tank is transferred to the inside of the transfer pipe through the second transfer pump, and then to the inside of the threaded pipe. After the outer wall of the threaded pipe contacts the outer wall of the inner shell, the heat inside the inner shell is directly transferred to the cold water inside the threaded pipe, and then flows back into the storage tank through the first transfer pipe. At the same time, the motor drives the stirring blades on the outer wall of the drive shaft to rotate, thereby realizing heat recovery and uniform mixing of the cold and hot water inside the storage tank. This achieves efficient heating of the cold water inside the storage tank for subsequent use, thereby improving the practicality of the industrial furnace. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Specifically, through the above structural combination, the oil in the inner oil tank 5 can be continuously recovered, centrally transported and efficiently sprayed during the cooling process, effectively improving the oil circulation efficiency, cooling uniformity and overall heat exchange performance, overcoming the problem of insufficient cooling by traditional paddle stirring, and improving the practicality and stability of the industrial furnace.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-6A connecting cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outer shell 2. A storage tank 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cylinder 14 for storing cold water for recycling.

[0030] Working principle: When the industrial furnace is needed, the oil inside the inner oil tank 5 is quickly collected by the conical hopper 9 by the transfer pump 6, thus uniformly and quickly transferring the oil to the coil 8. Then, the oil is transferred to the coil 10 through the connecting pipe 7 via the coil 8. The nozzle 11 on the outside of the coil 10 ensures efficient and uniform circulation of the oil into the inner oil tank 5. At the same time, the inner oil tank 5 generates a lot of waste heat during use. By injecting a large amount of cold water into the storage tank 15, the cold water is transferred to the threaded pipe 22 through the transfer pump 24 via the transfer pipe 23. The hot water is then transported back to the storage tank 15 via the transmission pipe 21 for circulation. The threaded pipe 22 is installed on the outer wall of the inner shell 4, which can absorb the heat generated when the inner oil tank 5 is in use, thereby heating the cold water inside the threaded pipe 22. At the same time, the motor 18 drives the stirring blade 20 on the outside of the drive shaft 19 to stir the water inside the storage tank 15, thereby uniformly mixing the hot water transported back from the threaded pipe 22 with the cold water inside the storage tank 15. This reduces the water circulation time and accelerates the heat recovery speed. The heated hot water can then be discharged for use through the outlet pipe 17.
