Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] To address the problems of existing quenching devices in practical use, such as simple structure, poor heat exchange, and inadequate positioning, please refer to... Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:
[0024] This embodiment of a waste heat quenching device for wear plates of railway freight car bogie slide grooves includes a guide frame 1, a drive box 2 installed below the guide frame 1, an electric cylinder 201 installed on one side of the drive box 2, a quenching box 3 installed on one side of the guide frame 1, a push plate 301 provided inside the quenching box 3, the push plate 301 being fixedly connected to the electric cylinder 201, and a swing arm 303 installed on one side inside the quenching box 3.
[0025] The guide frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 101 inside, and a heat insulation roller 102 is installed on the outside of the conveyor belt 101. The heat insulation roller 102 and the conveyor belt 101 are rotatably connected by bearings. During the residual heat quenching process, the guide frame 1 is used to receive the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove from the forging production line, receive it onto the conveyor belt 101, and transport it into the quenching box 3, where it is cooled by the quenching oil inside the quenching box 3.
[0026] It should be noted that a stepper motor 202 is installed at the rear end of the drive box 2, and the motor shaft of the stepper motor 202 is connected to the electric cylinder 201 through a reducer.
[0027] In fact, a telescopic rod 203 is installed at the front end of the electric cylinder 201. The telescopic rod 203 is connected to the electric cylinder 201 through a transmission. One end of the telescopic rod 203 extends into the interior of the quenching box 3 and is slidably connected to the quenching box 3. The telescopic rod 203 is also sealed to the quenching box 3 through a sealing sleeve. One end of the telescopic rod 203 is fixedly connected to the push plate 301. The push plate 301 is slidably connected to the quenching box 3 through a slide rail. Both the push plate 301 and the swing arm 303 have integrally formed openings 306 on their surfaces. The electric cylinder 201 is driven by the stepper motor 202 to move the telescopic rod 203 and the push plate 301, thereby moving the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove. During the movement of the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove inside the quenching box 3, the wear plate performs cooling work.
[0028] Furthermore, a rotating rod 302 is installed in the middle of the quenching box 3, and a servo motor 307 is installed below the rotating rod 302. The motor shaft of the servo motor 307 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 302 through a coupling. One side of the rotating rod 302 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 303. After cooling, the railway freight car bogie slide wear plate is pushed into the guide groove 304 through the swing arm 303 for rapid residual heat quenching. The transfer speed or the rhythm of the previous forging is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature measurement results. The residual heat after forging and rolling is utilized, eliminating the need for secondary heating. While ensuring that the slide wear plate obtains the required high hardness and wear resistance, it significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs. It is an important piece of equipment for green manufacturing and efficient production.
[0029] Specifically, in the residual heat quenching process, the guide rack 1 receives the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove from the forging production line and onto the conveyor belt 101, which then transports it into the quenching box 3. The wear plate is cooled by quenching oil inside the quenching box 3. Simultaneously, a stepper motor 202 drives an electric cylinder 201 to move a telescopic rod 203 and a pusher plate 301, thus moving the wear plate. During this movement within the quenching box 3, the wear plate undergoes cooling. After cooling, the swing arm 303 pushes the wear plate into the guide trough 304 for rapid residual heat quenching. The transfer speed or the rhythm of the preceding forging process is dynamically adjusted based on temperature measurements. This method utilizes the residual heat from forging and rolling, eliminating the need for secondary heating. While ensuring the wear plate achieves the required high hardness and wear resistance, it significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs, making it an important piece of equipment for green manufacturing and efficient production.
[0030] To address the issue of poor heat exchange efficiency of quenching oil in existing quenching equipment, which affects continuous operation, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:
[0031] This embodiment provides a waste heat quenching device for wear plates of bogie slide rails in railway freight cars. A heat exchange box 4 is installed on one side of the quenching box 3. A cooling oil heat exchanger 5 is provided between the heat exchange box 4 and the quenching box 3. After the quenching oil exchanges heat inside the quenching box 3, the overheated quenching oil is drawn into the cooling oil heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange.
[0032] The quenching box 3 is equipped with an oil change port 305, which is connected to the cooling oil heat exchanger 5. A booster pump 401 is installed below the cooling oil heat exchanger 5. The booster pump 401 is sealed to the heat exchange box 4 and the cooling oil heat exchanger 5. The quenching oil is circulated through the booster pump 401. During operation, the oil is cooled by the heat exchange box 4, which enables continuous operation, improves work efficiency, and is highly practical.
[0033] In addition, a guide trough 304 is provided on one side of the interior of the quenching box 3. A movable flap is installed on one side of the guide trough 304. The guide trough 304 quickly positions the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove. After the quenching oil is extracted, the movable flap is opened to take out the quenched wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove.
[0034] Specifically, during use, a cooling oil heat exchanger 5 is installed between the quenching box 3 and the heat exchange box 4. After the quenching oil exchanges heat inside the quenching box 3, the overheated quenching oil is drawn back into the cooling oil heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange. The quenching oil is circulated by the booster pump 401. During operation, it is cooled by the heat exchange box 4, thus enabling continuous operation, improving work efficiency, and making it highly practical.
[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the guide frame 1 receives the bogie slide wear plate from the forging production line and onto the conveyor belt 101, which then transports it to the quenching box 3. There, the plate is cooled by the quenching oil inside the box. Simultaneously, a stepper motor 202 drives an electric cylinder 201, which in turn moves a telescopic rod 203 and a pusher plate 301, thus moving the bogie slide wear plate. During this movement within the quenching box 3, the plate continues to cool. After cooling, the swing arm 303 pushes the plate into the guide trough 304 for rapid residual heat quenching. A cooling oil heat exchanger 5 is installed between the quenching box 3 and the heat exchange box 4, allowing the quenching oil to exchange heat within the quenching box 3. After heating, the overheated quenching oil is drawn back into the cooling oil heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange. The quenching oil is circulated by the booster pump 401. The guide chute 304 quickly positions the wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove. After the quenching oil is extracted, the movable flap is opened to remove the quenched wear plate of the railway freight car bogie slide groove. During operation, the wear plate is cooled by the heat exchange box 4, which allows for continuous operation, improves work efficiency, and is highly practical. The transfer speed or the rhythm of the previous forging is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature measurement results. It utilizes the residual heat after forging and rolling, eliminating the need for secondary heating. While ensuring that the slide groove wear plate obtains the required high hardness and wear resistance, it significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs. It is an important piece of equipment for green manufacturing and efficient production.
