In the automotive industry, aluminum alloys are extensively used to manufacture engine blocks, wheel hubs, and body frames to achieve lightweighting, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while ensuring safety and reliability.

[0003] In the current technological development of modern industry, aluminum alloys, due to their excellent properties, are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic equipment, and many other fields. However, the installation of the temperature control and homogenization structure in the heat treatment aging furnace, a key piece of equipment for improving the performance of aluminum alloys, presents numerous headaches. The installation of the temperature control and homogenization structure in traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnaces is cumbersome and complex, requiring considerable time and effort. Preliminary steps involve meticulous classification and inspection of various components; even slight oversights can lead to the omission of critical parts, hindering subsequent installation. During installation, the connection and fixation of each component must strictly adhere to specific sequences and process requirements. For example, the installation of heating elements must ensure a tight fit with the furnace body while guaranteeing safety and stability after power-on; even slight deviations can cause short circuits or uneven heating. Furthermore, the wiring of the temperature control system is extremely complex; the routing, connection methods, and matching with sensors all require precise operation, otherwise, it will affect… The accuracy and reliability of temperature control are crucial. After installation, a series of debugging and calibration tasks are required to ensure the temperature control and heat spreader structure can operate normally and achieve the expected results. This series of tedious installation steps not only increases the workload and labor intensity of the installers, but may also lead to equipment performance degradation or even malfunctions due to errors during installation, resulting in additional maintenance and time costs for the company. In addition, the complex installation process also places high demands on the professional skills and experience of the installers. If the installers are not skilled, it will prolong the installation cycle and affect the overall production schedule. Therefore, the many drawbacks of this traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnace temperature control and heat spreader structure in terms of installation have become a major obstacle restricting the development of related industries and the improvement of production efficiency. It is urgent to solve these problems through technological innovation to achieve a more efficient and convenient installation experience, improve the overall performance and reliability of the equipment, and meet the needs of modern industrial production for efficient, energy-saving, and precise aluminum alloy heat treatment processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a temperature control and homogenization structure for an aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnace.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a temperature control and homogenization structure for an aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnace, comprising a heating tank, a heat circulation box fixed to the side of the heating tank, an installation plate detachably connected to the surface of the heat circulation box, a fixed outer shell fixed to the surface of the installation plate, a fixing pin fixed to the side of the heat circulation box, an arc-shaped groove at the front end of the fixing pin, a sliding ring slidably connected inside the fixed outer shell, a support spring fixed to the bottom of the sliding ring, the bottom of the support spring fixedly connected to the side of the installation plate, a lock box fixed to the side of the installation plate, a locking ball slidably connected inside the lock box, and the inner wall of the lock box slidably connected to the surface of the fixing pin.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting nut is fixed to the side end of the mounting plate, a circulating outer tube is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting nut, a fixing nut is threaded to the side end of the circulating outer tube, a circulating inner tube is rotatably connected to the fixing nut, a first sealing gasket is fixed to the surface of the circulating inner tube, the surface of the first sealing gasket is slidably connected to the inside of the circulating outer tube, a push spring is fixed to the side end of the first sealing gasket, a second sealing gasket is fixed to the side end of the push spring, the surface of the second sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inside of the circulating outer tube, a sealing nut is threaded to the side end of the circulating inner tube, a circulating fan is fixed to the side end of the mounting plate and communicates with the inside of the heat circulation box, and a circulating fan is fixed to the side end of the circulating inner tube. In the prior art, the temperature control and homogenization structure design of traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnaces has certain limitations. Its heat circulation pipes usually adopt a fixed angle installation mode, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs. This fixed design mode leads to many inconveniences in the installation process. In actual operation, the staff must carefully select a special heat circulation pipe model that matches the established structure inside the furnace. Because the pipe routing and angle cannot be dynamically adjusted, extremely high positional accuracy is required during installation; even slight deviations can lead to installation failure. The entire installation process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also demands exceptional skills and experience from the workers, severely limiting assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience. To address these issues, this invention employs a novel pipe structure. When installing the hot circulation pipe, after fixing the outer circulation pipe, the worker can rotate the inner circulation pipe to the pre-installation angle. Then, the worker can release their grip, allowing the spring to push the first sealing ring, which then engages with the fixing nut, completing the installation. This facilitates precise adjustments and improves work efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, a flexible ring is fixed to the bottom of the heating tank. The flexible ring can provide more uniform support according to the shape of the bottom of the heating tank and the condition of the surface on which it is placed. If the surface is not perfectly flat, a rigid connection may cause excessive local stress on the heating tank. The flexible ring can adapt to this unevenness, making the stress on the bottom of the heating tank more evenly distributed and avoiding deformation of the tank due to local stress concentration.

[0008] Preferably, the support spring is a double-strand spring, which can provide more stable elastic force during operation. Because the two springs work together, when one spring is disturbed and the elastic force fluctuates, the other spring can buffer this fluctuation to a certain extent, maintaining the relative stability of the overall elastic force and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, a dustproof gasket is fixed to the upper end of the heating tank. The dustproof gasket is fixed to the upper end of the heating tank and can fit tightly against the tank opening, forming an effective physical barrier. This can prevent dust, particulate matter and other impurities in the air from entering the interior of the heating tank from the tank opening, improving the material consistency of the aluminum alloy.

[0010] Preferably, the heating tank is fixed with reinforcing ribs on its circumference. When the heating tank is subjected to external forces, such as collisions during transportation or accidental bumps during installation, the reinforcing ribs can disperse these forces and prevent excessive local stress on the tank body, thus avoiding deformation. This helps maintain the shape accuracy of the heating tank, and for some heating processes with strict requirements on tank shape, such as heating tanks used in the pharmaceutical industry for precise control of reaction volume and reaction environment, it can ensure the smooth progress of the process.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. In the current technology, during the development of modern industry, aluminum alloys, due to their excellent properties, are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic equipment, and many other fields. However, the installation of the temperature control and homogenization structure of the heat treatment aging furnace, as a key piece of equipment for improving the performance of aluminum alloys, presents many headaches. The installation of the temperature control and homogenization structure of traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnaces is cumbersome and complex, requiring considerable time and effort. Preliminary steps involve meticulous classification and inspection of various components; even slight oversights can lead to the omission of critical parts, hindering subsequent installation. During installation, the connection and fixing of each component must strictly adhere to specific sequences and process requirements. For example, the installation of heating elements... To ensure a tight fit between the system and the furnace body, and to guarantee safety and stability after power-on, even slight deviations can lead to short circuits or uneven heating. Furthermore, the wiring of the temperature control system is extremely complex; the routing, connection methods, and sensor matching all require precise operation, otherwise the accuracy and reliability of temperature control will be affected. After installation, a series of debugging and calibration tasks are necessary to ensure the temperature control and heat dissipation structure operates normally and achieves the expected results. This series of tedious installation steps not only increases the workload and labor intensity of the installers but also may lead to equipment performance degradation or even malfunctions due to errors during installation, resulting in additional maintenance costs and time costs for the company. Furthermore, the complex installation process demands high levels of professional skills and experience from installers. Insufficient technical expertise can prolong the installation cycle and impact overall production progress. Therefore, the numerous drawbacks of this traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnace temperature control and homogenization structure in terms of installation have become a major obstacle to the development of related industries and the improvement of production efficiency. These issues urgently require technological innovation to address, achieving a more efficient and convenient installation experience, improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment, and meeting the demands of modern industrial production for efficient, energy-saving, and precise aluminum alloy heat treatment processes. To address these problems, this utility model utilizes a disassembly mechanism. When installing the heat circulation box, the worker can easily disassemble the installation plate... The mounting plate is fixed by moving the fixing pin along the inside of the lock box to the side of the preheating chamber. The operator then pushes the sliding ring until it reaches the bottom of the locking ball. The operator continues pushing until the arc-shaped groove on the fixing pin is flush with the surface of the locking ball. The operator then releases the sliding ring, at which point the internal support spring pushes the sliding ring back to its original position. The sliding ring then presses the locking ball into the arc-shaped groove, thus securing the mounting plate. To remove the mounting plate, the operator pushes the sliding ring until it no longer presses against the locking ball. This allows for flexible replacement of the mounting plate, improving the device's convenience and reducing production and time costs.

[0013] 2. In existing technologies, the temperature control and homogenization structure design of traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnaces has certain limitations. Their heat circulation pipes typically use a fixed-angle installation mode, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs. This fixed design mode leads to numerous inconveniences during pipe installation. During actual operation, workers must carefully select a matching dedicated heat circulation pipe model based on the furnace's internal structure. Since the pipe routing and angle cannot be dynamically adjusted, the installation process requires extremely high positional accuracy; even slight deviations can lead to installation failure. The entire installation process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also places extremely high demands on the professional skills and experience of the workers, severely restricting the equipment's assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience. To address these problems, this utility model adopts a novel pipe structure. When installing the heat circulation pipes, after fixing the outer circulation pipe, the worker can rotate the inner circulation pipe to the pre-installation angle, then release their grip. At this point, the spring pushes the first sealing ring, which then engages with the fixing nut, completing the installation. This facilitates precise adjustment by the worker, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

In the prior art, the progress of modern industrial development... Aluminum alloys, due to their excellent properties, are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic equipment, and many other fields. However, the installation of the temperature-controlled homogenizing structure in a heat treatment aging furnace, a key piece of equipment for improving the performance of aluminum alloys, presents numerous headaches.

Preliminary steps involve meticulous classification and inspection of various components; even slight oversights can lead to the omission of critical parts, hindering subsequent installation.

Furthermore, the wiring of the temperature control system is extremely complex; the routing, connection methods, and matching with sensors all require precise operation, otherwise the accuracy and reliability of temperature control will be affected. After installation, a series of debugging and calibration tasks are necessary to ensure the temperature control heat dissipation structure operates normally and achieves the expected results. This series of tedious installation steps not only increases the workload and labor intensity of the installers but may also lead to equipment performance degradation or even malfunctions due to errors during installation, resulting in additional maintenance and time costs for the company. In addition, the complex installation process demands high levels of professional skills and experience from the installers. Inexperienced technicians can prolong the installation cycle and affect the overall production schedule. Therefore, the numerous drawbacks of this traditional aluminum alloy heat treatment aging furnace temperature control and homogenization structure in terms of installation have become a major obstacle restricting the development of related industries and improving production efficiency. These issues urgently need to be addressed through technological innovation to achieve a more efficient and convenient installation experience, improve the overall performance and reliability of the equipment, and meet the demands of modern industrial production for efficient, energy-saving, and precise aluminum alloy heat treatment processes. To address these problems, this utility model utilizes a disassembly mechanism. When installing the heat circulation box 2, the operator aligns the mounting plate 201 with the side of the heat circulation box 2, then the fixing pin 202 moves along the inside of the lock box 204, and then the operator pushes the sliding ring 206.Once the sliding ring 206 has moved to the bottom of the locking ball 207, the operator can continue pushing until the arc-shaped groove on the surface of the fixing pin 202 is flush with the surface of the locking ball 207. At this point, the operator can release the sliding ring 206. The internal support spring 205 of the fixed housing 203 then pushes the sliding ring 206 to reset. The sliding ring 206 then presses the locking ball 207 into the arc-shaped groove, thus securing the mounting plate 201. To disassemble the mounting plate 201, the operator pushes the sliding ring 206 until it no longer presses against the locking ball 207. This completes the disassembly of the mounting plate 201, allowing for flexible replacement of the mounting plate 201, improving the device's convenience, and reducing production and time costs.

[0024] A connecting nut 306 is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 201. A circulation outer tube 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting nut 306. A fixing nut 301 is threaded to the side of the circulation outer tube 3. A circulation inner tube 302 is rotatably connected inside the fixing nut 301. A first sealing gasket 303 is fixed to the surface of the circulation inner tube 302. The surface of the first sealing gasket 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the circulation outer tube 3.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing the heat circulation box 2, the operator aligns the mounting plate 201 with the side of the heat circulation box 2. Then, the fixing pin 202 moves along the inside of the lock box 204. The operator then pushes the sliding ring 206 until it moves to the bottom of the locking ball 207. The operator can then continue pushing until the arc-shaped groove on the surface of the fixing pin 202 is flush with the surface of the locking ball 207. The operator can then release the sliding ring 206. At this time, the support spring 205 inside the fixed housing 203 pushes the sliding ring 206 to complete the reset. The sliding ring 206 will then press the locking ball 207 into the arc-shaped groove, thereby fixing the mounting plate 201. When disassembling the mounting plate 201, the operator pushes the sliding ring 206 until it no longer presses the locking ball 207. At this time, the operator has completed the disassembly of the mounting plate 201. This allows the mounting plate 201 to be flexibly replaced, improving the convenience of the device and reducing production and time costs.
