[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] This utility model provides a temperature zone control device for a heat treatment furnace for mold steel, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This temperature zone control device for the heat treatment furnace of mold steel, through the setting of preheating treatment zone, high temperature treatment zone, soaking treatment zone, monitoring components and heat shielding components, allows for the monitoring of the internal heat treatment temperature by thermocouple temperature sensors A and B in each zone according to the processing material of the mold steel.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a temperature zone control device for a heat treatment furnace for mold steel, comprising a heat treatment furnace body 1, which is divided into a preheating treatment zone 2, a high-temperature treatment zone 3, and a homogenizing treatment zone 4. Heat shielding components 9 are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the front and rear ends of the preheating treatment zone 2 and the homogenizing treatment zone 4. Monitoring components 5 are fixedly connected to the furnace top and sides of the preheating treatment zone 2, the high-temperature treatment zone 3, and the homogenizing treatment zone 4. Cooling fans 6 are fixedly connected to one side of the preheating treatment zone 2, the high-temperature treatment zone 3, and the homogenizing treatment zone 4. A circulation component 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the preheating treatment zone 2.

[0030] The heat shielding assembly 9 includes a gantry frame 901, an electric cylinder 902, and an insulated door 903;

[0031] The monitoring component 5 includes thermocouple temperature sensor A 501, thermocouple temperature sensor B 502, and temperature zone PID controller 503. Through the setup of preheating zone 2, high-temperature treatment zone 3, soaking zone 4, monitoring component 5, and heat shielding component 9, during use, the thermocouple temperature sensors A 501 and B 502 in each zone monitor the internal heat treatment temperature in real time according to the processing material of the mold steel. The monitored data is sent to the temperature zone PID controller 503, which controls the heating power of the heating elements (not shown in the figure) in each zone. Simultaneously, the insulation doors 903 in each zone reduce heat transfer between zones, thereby achieving independent and precise temperature control of multiple temperature zones. This allows for precise control of the temperature in different areas within the heat treatment furnace, meeting the requirements of complex heat treatment curves for mold steel. It avoids the limitation of only being able to raise, hold, and cool the overall temperature within the furnace during heat treatment of workpieces, making it difficult to zone the temperature within the furnace to adapt to different heat treatment materials, thus improving the process adaptability of the heat treatment furnace.

[0032] The circulation assembly 7 includes a mounting cover 701, a circulation fan 702, a high-temperature resistant tube A 703, a filter box 704, a honeycomb ceramic filter element 705, a high-temperature resistant tube B 706, and a connecting cover 707. Through the configuration of the circulation assembly 7, when the insulation door 903 of the preheating treatment zone 2 is opened, the circulation fan 702 is activated, and the solenoid valve is opened. The heat from the high-temperature treatment zone 3 is then transported to the filter box 704 through the high-temperature resistant tube B 706. After being filtered by the honeycomb ceramic filter element 705, the heat is transported back to the preheating treatment zone 2 through the high-temperature resistant tube A 703. This allows for rapid replenishment of heat lost after the furnace door is opened, avoiding the need for additional replenishment time after heat loss in the preheating treatment zone 2, and helping to improve the processing efficiency of the heat treatment furnace.

[0033] Heating elements are installed inside the preheating zone 2, the high-temperature zone 3, and the homogenization zone 4. Each heating element is powered by an independent power module. The arrangement of the preheating zone 2, the high-temperature zone 3, and the homogenization zone 4 achieves the function of zoned heating.

[0034] The heat shielding component 9 includes a gantry frame 901 that is fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the front and rear ends of the preheating treatment zone 2 and the uniform heat treatment zone 4. An electric cylinder 902 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the gantry frame 901, and an insulation door 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric cylinder 902. The heat shielding component 9 serves to shield the heat transfer between the zones.

[0035] The top of the preheating treatment zone 2 and the heat soaking treatment zone 4 at the front and rear ends are provided with partition grooves. The partition grooves are compatible with the heat insulation door 903. The setting of the preheating treatment zone 2 serves to preheat the mold steel first.

[0036] The monitoring component 5 includes thermocouple temperature sensor A 501 and thermocouple temperature sensor B 502, which are fixedly connected to the top and side of the furnace in the preheating zone 2, high-temperature zone 3, and soaking zone 4, respectively. The thermocouple temperature sensor A 501 and thermocouple temperature sensor B 502 are electrically connected to a temperature zone PID controller 503 via power lines. By setting up the monitoring component 5, it can monitor each zone and facilitate the control of the heating element temperature rise.

[0037] One side of the temperature zone PID controller 503 is electrically connected to the main PLC control device 8 via a composite cable. The main PLC control device 8 is installed on one side of the heat treatment furnace body 1. Through the setting of the main PLC control device 8, it plays the role of controlling the PID controllers 503 of each temperature zone and transmitting operation commands.

[0038] The circulation assembly 7 includes a mounting cover 701 fixedly connected to one side of the preheating treatment zone 2. A circulation fan 702 is installed inside the mounting cover 701. A high-temperature resistant tube A703 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting cover 701. A filter box 704 is fixedly connected to one end of the high-temperature resistant tube A703. A honeycomb ceramic filter element 705 is installed inside the filter box 704. A high-temperature resistant tube B706 is fixedly connected to the other side of the filter box 704. A connecting cover 707 is fixedly connected to one end of the high-temperature resistant tube B706. One end of the connecting cover 707 is installed on one side of the high-temperature treatment zone 3. Through the arrangement of the circulation assembly 7, the waste heat is circulated.

[0039] Solenoid valves are fixedly installed on the surfaces of high-temperature resistant tubes A703 and B706. The solenoid valves are electrically connected to the main PLC control device 8. The arrangement of high-temperature resistant tubes A703 and B706 serves to transfer the heat from the high-temperature treatment zone 3 to the preheating treatment zone 2.

[0040] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0041] First step: When in use, after the insulation door 903 of the preheating treatment zone 2 is opened, start the circulation fan 702 and open the solenoid valve to transfer the heat of the high temperature treatment zone 3 to the filter box 704 through the high temperature resistant pipe B706. After being filtered by the honeycomb ceramic filter element 705, it is transferred to the preheating treatment zone 2 through the high temperature resistant pipe A703.

[0042] The second step: During use, according to the processing material of the mold steel, the A thermocouple temperature sensor 501 and B thermocouple temperature sensor 502 of each zone monitor the internal heat treatment temperature in real time and send the monitored data to the temperature zone PID controller 503, so that the temperature zone PID controller 503 controls the heating power of the heating elements (not shown in the figure) of each zone, and at the same time, the insulation door 903 of each zone reduces the heat transfer between zones.
