Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive leaf spring processing technology, and in particular to a heating furnace for automotive leaf spring processing. Background Technology

[0002] The leaf spring is one of the main components of the automotive suspension system, serving as a connection between the wheels and the frame. In addition to bearing the weight of the car body and load, it must also withstand the impact load and vibration caused by uneven road surfaces. The leaf spring is mainly used as a shock absorber and energy storage component. It must absorb a large amount of elastic work without undergoing permanent deformation. In order to obtain the best ride comfort and good handling stability of the car, the leaf spring must have high strength and a long service life. Therefore, the control of heat treatment is particularly important.

[0003] Leaf spring processing typically requires heat treatment in a furnace to alter the material's mechanical properties and modulus of elasticity. Common heating methods include resistance wire heating, gas heating, and infrared heating. During leaf spring heat treatment, temperature and time must be carefully controlled to avoid overheating or excessive heat retention, which could damage the material or degrade its performance. The specific steps and parameters of the heat treatment should be determined based on the specific leaf spring material and processing requirements. However, existing automotive leaf spring heating furnaces still suffer from limitations in comprehensively heating the steel leaf springs and low furnace heat utilization.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent a heating furnace for processing automotive leaf springs. Utility Model Content

The insulation panel is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the furnace wall, and the sliding groove is opened inside the furnace wall. The atmosphere inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the outer side of the furnace wall.

[0007] The spring heating structure includes an upper heating base, a lower heating base, an outer heating component, an inner heating base, and an inner heating component.

The outer heating component is fixedly installed on the surfaces of the upper and lower heating bases, and the inner heating base is fixedly installed at the middle position inside the heating furnace body. The inner heating component is fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the inner heating base.

[0008] The heating furnace body is a horizontally placed cylindrical heating furnace, and the furnace body wall is made of bricks. The heat insulation surface is made of a layer of concrete mortar. The sliding groove consists of two sets of parallel grooves, and the atmosphere input pipe penetrates the furnace body wall, which can input gas into the interior of the heating furnace body.

[0009] The upper heating base, lower heating base and inner heating base inside the spring heating structure are separated by a gap, and their shape is consistent with that of a bent steel leaf spring; the outer heating component and the inner heating component both adopt dry-burning type heating tubes and are evenly distributed on the surface of the upper heating base, lower heating base and inner heating base.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The heating furnace body of this utility model is designed to create a sealed heating space through brick-built furnace walls and concrete insulation lining, with a sealing door ensuring airtightness. An internal sliding groove guides the precise positioning of the leaf spring support, and the cylindrical design matches the curvature of the leaf spring to improve thermal efficiency. Protective gas can be injected through the atmosphere input pipe, and in conjunction with a pressure stabilizing structure, the internal pressure is controlled, enabling efficient and uniform heating while possessing excellent heat resistance and energy-saving characteristics.

[0012] 2. The spring heating structure of this utility model, through the upper heating base, lower heating base, and inner heating base forming a three-dimensional heating space, combined with the dry-burning heating tubes of the outer and inner heating components, achieves uniform heating of the leaf spring in a surrounding manner. The gap between the components precisely matches the bending shape of the leaf spring, avoiding heating blind spots, improving thermal efficiency, and ensuring stable and reliable heat treatment quality.
