Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece heat treatment technology, specifically a tooling for shaft heat treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when heat treating shafts, a suspended fixture is usually used. A fitting bolt and a heat-resistant steel wire are welded together as a whole. The heat-resistant steel wire is fixed on the suspended fixture, and then the fitting bolt is tightened to the side threaded hole on the shaft to fix it, so that the shaft hangs naturally vertically on the fixture, and then the workpiece is heat treated.

[0003] However, the bending deformation of the shaft after heat treatment is between 2.5mm and 3mm. Cracks are easily generated during the process of correcting the bending with straightening equipment, and the scrap rate is about 40%, which in turn leads to a low pass rate of heat treatment of shaft parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a tooling for heat treatment of shafts. It uses a load-bearing tray and a material-carrying tray to support and limit the two positions of the shaft end face and the stage, which can reduce the bending deformation of the shaft after heat treatment, reduce the use of correction equipment, and thus improve the pass rate of shaft heat treatment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a tooling for heat treatment of shaft components. The shaft component includes a main shaft section, a tapered section at one end of the main shaft section, and a stepped section at the other end of the main shaft section. The main shaft section, tapered section, and stepped section are coaxial, and the diameter of the stepped section is larger than that of the main shaft section. The tooling includes a load-bearing tray, a material-carrying tray, four corner supports, and a central support. The load-bearing tray is rectangular and has a first honeycomb mesh-like brace. The material-carrying tray is also rectangular. The material tray is provided with a second honeycomb mesh-like tie rod. At least one second grid intersection of the second honeycomb mesh-like tie rod is provided with a mounting hole. The mounting hole is used for the tapered section and the main shaft section to pass through in sequence, so that the edge of the mounting hole supports the platform stage. One end of the top corner support is connected to the top corner of the load-bearing material tray, and the other end of the top corner support is connected to the top corner of the material-carrying tray. One end of the central support is connected to the center point of the load-bearing material tray, and the other end of the central support is connected to the center point of the material-carrying tray.

[0006] Furthermore, the intersection points of the first honeycomb mesh-like tie rod and the second honeycomb mesh-like tie rod correspond one-to-one in the vertical direction.

[0007] Furthermore, at least one of the first grid intersections of the first honeycomb mesh brace is used to support one end face of the shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the load-bearing tray and the material-carrying tray is equal to the axial distance between the junction of the stage and the main shaft section and the end face of the shaft near the tapered section.

[0009] Furthermore, the first honeycomb mesh-like brace has a hexagonal mesh structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the second honeycomb mesh-like brace has a hexagonal mesh structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the load-bearing tray has first support mounting holes near its four corners, and the material-carrying tray has third support mounting holes near its four corners. One end of the corner support is connected to the first support mounting hole, and the other end of the corner support is connected to the third support mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the load-bearing tray is provided with a first corner reinforcing plate near the four corners, and the first support mounting hole is opened in the first corner reinforcing plate;

[0013] The material loading tray is provided with a second corner reinforcement plate near the four corners, and the third support mounting hole is opened in the second corner reinforcement plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a second support mounting hole is provided at the center point of the load-bearing tray; a fourth support mounting hole is provided at the center point of the material-carrying tray, one end of the central support is connected to the second support mounting hole, and the other end of the central support is connected to the fourth support mounting hole.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It is equipped with a load-bearing tray and a material-carrying tray. The load-bearing tray supports the end face of the shaft, and the main weight of the shaft is supported on the load-bearing tray. The intersections of the first honeycomb mesh reinforcement bars support the end face of the shaft. Simultaneously, the mounting holes on the upper material-carrying tray limit the movement of the shaft. The tooling used for shaft heat treatment supports and limits the two positions of the shaft, which can reduce shaft bending deformation after heat treatment, reduce the use of correction equipment, and thus improve the pass rate of shaft heat treatment.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Figure 2 The diagram shows a state diagram of heat treatment of shaft components using a suspended fixture in the prior art. The mating bolt 30 and the heat-resistant steel wire 20 are welded into a whole. The heat-resistant steel wire 20 is fixed on the suspended fixture 40. The shaft component 10 is naturally placed vertically on the suspended fixture 40 for heat treatment. With this treatment, the shaft has a large bending deformation after heat treatment.

[0032] See Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a tooling for heat treatment of a shaft 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the shaft 10 includes a main shaft section 11, a tapered section 12 disposed at one end of the main shaft section 11, and a stepped section 13 disposed at the other end of the main shaft section 11. The main shaft section 11, the tapered section 12, and the stepped section 13 are coaxial, and the diameter of the stepped section 13 is larger than that of the main shaft section 11.

[0033] See also Figures 1-6 A tooling for shaft heat treatment includes a load-bearing tray 100, a material-carrying tray 200, four corner supports 300, and a central support 400. The load-bearing tray 100 and the material-carrying tray 200 are connected as a whole by the four corner supports 300 and the central support 400. Figure 3 As shown, the load-bearing tray 100 is a rectangular tray, and the load-bearing tray 100 is provided with a first honeycomb mesh-like tie rod 110. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the material tray 200 is a rectangular tray. The material tray 200 is provided with a second honeycomb mesh-like tie rod 210. At least one second mesh intersection position 211 of the second honeycomb mesh-like tie rod 210 is provided with a mounting hole 2111. The mounting hole 2111 is used for the conical section 12 and the main shaft section 11 to pass through in sequence, so that the edge of the mounting hole 2111 supports the platform stage 13. One end of the top corner support 300 is connected to the top corner of the load-bearing tray 100, and the other end of the top corner support 300 is connected to the top corner of the material tray 200. One end of the center support 400 is connected to the center point of the load-bearing tray 100, and the other end of the center support 400 is connected to the center point of the material tray 200.

[0034] See Figure 1 The aforementioned tooling for shaft heat treatment includes a load-bearing tray 100 and a material-carrying tray 200. The load-bearing tray 100 supports the end face 14 of the shaft 10, and the main weight of the shaft 10 is supported on the load-bearing tray 100. The intersections of the first honeycomb mesh brace 110 support the end face 14 of the shaft 10. Simultaneously, the mounting holes 2111 of the upper material-carrying tray 200 limit the movement of the shaft 10. This tooling for shaft heat treatment supports and limits the shaft 10 at two locations, reducing shaft bending deformation after heat treatment, reducing the need for correction equipment, and thus improving the pass rate of shaft heat treatment. The connection between the corner support 300 and the material-carrying tray 200 and the load-bearing tray 100 near the corner can be detachable or fixed. Similarly, the connection between the center support 400 and the center point of the material-carrying tray 200 and the load-bearing tray 100 can be detachable or fixed. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, slightly interference-fitting insertion.

[0035] In specific configuration, the tooling material is 4Cr25Ni35Mo, and it consists of a load-bearing tray 100, a material-carrying tray 200, four corner supports 300, and a central support 400. The load-bearing tray 100 and the material-carrying tray 200 are 20mm thick, and the tie rods are 8mm wide. The external dimensions of the tray are as follows: Figure 4 C1 and C2 are designed according to the internal space dimensions of the heat treatment furnace. The material tray 200 is provided with mounting holes 2111 at a certain interval for fixing the shaft 10. The spacing between the mounting holes 2111 should be such that it does not affect the heat treatment quality of the shaft 10.

[0036] Before heat treatment, the load-bearing tray 100, the material-carrying tray 200, the four corner supports 300, and the center support 400 are assembled into a whole. The shaft 10 to be heat treated is then arranged according to... Figure 1 The direction shown is placed inside the mounting hole 2111, and after being fixed, it is subjected to heat treatment.

[0037] In one embodiment, the grid intersections of the first honeycomb mesh rib 110 and the second honeycomb mesh rib 210 correspond one-to-one in the vertical direction. In another embodiment, at least one first grid intersection position 111 of the first honeycomb mesh rib 110 is used to support one end face 14 of the shaft member 10. This arrangement ensures that when the shaft member 10 passes through the mounting hole 2111 on the material loading tray 200, its end face 14 can rest on the grid intersection of the first honeycomb mesh rib 110 of the material loading tray 100, thereby supporting the shaft member 10.

[0038] In one embodiment, the distance between the load-bearing tray 100 and the material-carrying tray 200 is equal to the axial distance between the junction of the stage 13 and the main shaft section 11 and the end face 14 of the shaft 10 near the tapered section.

[0039] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first honeycomb mesh brace 110 is a hexagonal mesh structure.

[0040] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second honeycomb mesh brace 210 is a hexagonal mesh structure.

[0041] It should be noted that the first honeycomb mesh tie 110 and the second honeycomb mesh tie 210 can also be set as a pentagonal mesh structure or other forms of mesh structure, as long as they can provide the flow channels required by the treatment liquid during heat treatment and ensure that there is no mutual interference between the placed shafts 10.

[0042] In one embodiment, the load-bearing tray 100 has first support mounting holes 120 near its four corners, and the material-carrying tray 200 has third support mounting holes 220 near its four corners. One end of the corner support 300 is connected to the first support mounting hole 120, and the other end of the corner support 300 is connected to the third support mounting hole 220.

[0043] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the load-bearing tray 100 is provided with first corner reinforcing plates 130 near its four corners, and first support mounting holes 120 are formed in the first corner reinforcing plates 130. In this embodiment, the placement of the first corner reinforcing plates 130 at the corners of the load-bearing tray 100 makes the position of the first support mounting holes 120 more reliable, and the connection strength is higher when the corner support 300 is connected to the first support mounting holes 120. Similarly, the material-carrying tray 200 is provided with second corner reinforcing plates 230 near its four corners, and third support mounting holes 220 are formed in the second corner reinforcing plates 230. In this embodiment, the placement of the second corner reinforcing plates 230 at the corners of the material-carrying tray 200 makes the position of the third support mounting holes 220 more reliable, and the connection strength is higher when the corner support 300 is connected to the third support mounting holes 220.

[0044] In one embodiment, a second support mounting hole 140 is provided at the center point of the load-bearing tray 100; a fourth support mounting hole 240 is provided at the center point of the material-carrying tray 200, one end of the central support 400 is connected to the second support mounting hole 140, and the other end of the central support 400 is connected to the fourth support mounting hole 240.

[0045] In one embodiment, the top corner support 300 is provided with a first protruding ring 310, and the distance between the bottom of the first protruding ring 310 and the bottom end face of the top corner support 300 is equal to the thickness of the load-bearing material plate 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, the central support 400 is provided with a second protruding ring 410, and the distance between the bottom of the second protruding ring 410 and the bottom end face of the central support 400 is equal to the thickness of the load-bearing plate 100.

[0047] Tooling dimensions determined:

[0048] The inner diameter d' of mounting hole 2111 is determined based on the dimension d of the main shaft section 11 of shaft 10 and the dimension d2 of the stage section 13 of shaft 10. The calculation formula is: inner diameter d' of mounting hole 2111 = dimension d of main shaft section 11 + Δd, and 5mm ≤ Δd ≤ 7mm, and d' < d2 - 2*R.

[0049] The dimensions D1' and d1' of the support mounting holes on the material tray are determined based on the support dimensions D1 and d1. The calculation formula is: inner diameter of the support hole on the material tray = d1 + Δd1, and 4 mm ≤ Δd1 ≤ 6 mm.

[0050] The external dimensions C1 and C2 of the load-bearing tray 100 and the material-carrying tray 200 are designed according to the internal space dimensions of the heat treatment furnace.

[0051] The height h of the top corner support 300 and the center support 400 is determined according to the length L of the shaft 10.
