Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quenching and cooling technology, specifically to a quenching and cooling tank structure for mold steel. Background Technology
[0002] Quenching and cooling technology refers to the technique of heating metal materials and components to a certain temperature and then cooling them at a predetermined rate and method to obtain the desired structure and properties. According to existing technology, such as the quenching and cooling device for mold steel heat treatment described in Chinese patent document CN221028544U, the disclosed technical solution involves a water pump drawing coolant from the water tank through a water pipe, filtering it through water pipe two and a filter, and then injecting it into the cooling box. A trolley is started to lift the mold steel to be quenched, and the main beam moves the mold steel into the cooling box for quenching. After the coolant in the cooling box has undergone multiple quenching cycles and its temperature rises, water pump two starts, drawing coolant from the cooling box through water pipe four. This device immerses the mold steel in coolant, ensuring the quenching effect, and allows for the removal of excessively hot coolant at any time, enabling continuous use of the device without affecting the subsequent quenching effect of the mold steel.
[0003] According to its publicly available technical solutions, the existing method of quenching mold steel mainly involves immersing the mold steel in coolant. However, this causes the coolant temperature to rise continuously, affecting the subsequent quenching effect of the mold steel. Furthermore, during the cooling of the steel parts, the temperature of the coolant around the steel parts is higher than the height of the surrounding coolant, affecting the cooling effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a quenching cooling tank structure for mold steel, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. This invention utilizes a rotating turntable to align the water inlet on the turntable with the water outlet on the inner wall of the tank. This allows for heat dissipation from the coolant in the other cooling tank while the steel part is being cooled in one cooling tank. When the steel part is placed in the cooling tank, the reciprocating movement of the U-shaped plate in the moving mechanism agitates the coolant around the steel part, causing it to flow and accelerating heat transfer, resulting in a better quenching effect.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a quenching and cooling tank structure for mold steel, comprising a cooling tank structure body, the cooling tank structure body comprising a box, a cooling mechanism and a moving mechanism, a partition being provided inside the box, a moving mechanism being installed inside the box, and a cooling mechanism being provided at the front end of the box.
[0006] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes a turntable and a water pump. The turntable has a water inlet and is located inside the inner wall of the housing. Two water outlets are located on the inner wall of one side of the housing.
[0007] Furthermore, the turntable is welded to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is connected to the housing shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the water outlet pipe shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, a radiator is installed on the water outlet pipe, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water pump, and one end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the water cover.
[0009] Furthermore, the outlet pipe is connected to the return pipe on both sides, and valves are installed on the return pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a motor and a U-shaped plate. The motor is screwed to one side of the housing, the motor is welded to a lead screw, the lead screw is threaded to the U-shaped plate, and the U-shaped plate is integrally formed with the push plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a transmission belt is sleeved on the first lead screw, and the other end of the transmission belt is sleeved on the second lead screw, which is threadedly connected to the U-shaped plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on one side of the bottom of the box, and the discharge port is screwed to a baffle.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The quenching and cooling tank structure of the mold steel is made so that the water inlet on the turntable is aligned with the water outlet opened on the inner wall of the box, so that when the steel part is cooled in the cooling tank on one side, the coolant in the cooling tank on the other side can be cooled.
[0015] 2. The quenching cooling tank structure of this mold steel can agitate the coolant at the lower temperature in the edge area of the cooling tank by reciprocating the U-shaped plate in the moving mechanism when the steel part is placed in the cooling tank for cooling. This causes the coolant at the edge to start flowing, accelerates heat conduction, and improves the quenching effect. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a quenching and cooling tank structure for mold steel, comprising a cooling tank structure body, the cooling tank structure body comprising a box 1, a cooling mechanism 4 and a moving mechanism 2, a partition 3 being provided inside the box 1, the moving mechanism 2 being installed inside the box 1, and the cooling mechanism 4 being provided at the front end of the box 1.
[0023] In this embodiment, the cooling mechanism 4 includes a turntable 14 and a water pump 9. The turntable 14 has a water inlet 13 and is located within the inner wall of the housing 1. Two water outlets 12 are located on one side of the inner wall of the housing 1. The turntable 14 is welded to a rotating shaft 5, which is axially connected to the housing 1 and to a water outlet pipe 6. A radiator 8 is installed on the water outlet pipe 6, which is connected to the water pump 9. One end of the water outlet pipe 6 is connected to a water cover 10, and both sides are connected to return water pipes 11. Valves are installed on the return water pipe 11. When cooling is needed on one side of the coolant, the valve 7 on that side is opened, and the valve 7 on the other side is closed. The rotating shaft 5 is then rotated. 5. Drive the turntable 14 to rotate, so that the water inlet 13 on the turntable 14 is aligned with the water outlet 12 on the inner wall of the box 1. Then start the water pump 9, so that the water pump 9 drives the coolant in the tank into the water inlet 13 through the water outlet 12, and then into the water outlet pipe 6. After passing through the radiator 8, the radiator 8 dissipates heat from the coolant and lowers the temperature of the coolant. Then the coolant enters the return water pipe 11 from the water outlet pipe 6 and enters the cooling tank on one side again. When it is necessary to cool the coolant in the other side of the tank, the above operation can be repeated. In this way, while the cooling tank on one side is cooling the steel parts, the coolant in the cooling tank on the other side is being cooled, ensuring the temperature of the coolant in the cooling tank, reducing the waiting time for the coolant to cool down, and improving work efficiency.
[0024] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a motor 21 and a U-shaped plate 16. The motor 21 is screwed to one side of the housing 1 and welded to a lead screw 18. The lead screw 18 is threaded to the U-shaped plate 16, which is integrally formed with the push plate 20. A transmission belt 19 is sleeved on the lead screw 18, and the other end of the transmission belt 19 is sleeved on a second lead screw 17, which is threaded to the U-shaped plate 16. A discharge port 15 is provided at the bottom of one side of the housing 1 and is screwed to a baffle 22. When the steel part is placed in the coolant, the steel part will heat the coolant, making the coolant temperature around the steel part higher than that of other parts. At this time, the motor 21 can be started. Motor 21 drives lead screw 18 to rotate, and lead screw 18 drives lead screw 17 to rotate via transmission belt 19. Lead screw 18 and lead screw 17 simultaneously drive U-shaped plate 16 to move, stirring the coolant at the edge of the cooling tank, causing the coolant at the edge to flow, accelerating heat conduction, and improving the quenching effect. After the cooling tank in the box 1 has been used for a long time, it needs to be cleaned. The valves 7 on both sides can be closed, the water cover 10 can be opened, and the water pump 9 can be started to drain the coolant in the two cooling tanks. Remove the baffle 22 and then drive lead screw 18 and lead screw 17 to rotate via motor 21, causing U-shaped plate 16 to move. U-shaped plate 16 drives push plate 20 to move, scraping out the impurities settled in the cooling tank through discharge port 15.
[0025] Working principle: When cooling the coolant on one side is required, open valve 7 on that side and close valve 7 on the other side. Rotate shaft 5 to rotate turntable 14, aligning the inlet 13 on turntable 14 with the outlet 12 on the inner wall of tank 1. Then start water pump 9 to pump the coolant from the tank into inlet 13 through outlet 12, then into outlet pipe 6, passing through radiator 8 to cool the coolant and lower its temperature. The coolant then flows from outlet pipe 6 into return pipe 11, returning to the cooling tank on one side. To cool the coolant in the other side, repeat the above steps. This allows for simultaneous cooling of the steel parts in one cooling tank and cooling of the coolant in the other, ensuring the coolant temperature in the tank, reducing waiting time for the coolant to cool down, and improving work efficiency. When the steel parts... When placed in the coolant, the steel parts will heat the coolant, making the coolant temperature around the steel parts higher than that of other parts. At this time, the motor 21 can be started, which drives the lead screw 18 to rotate. The lead screw 18 drives the lead screw 17 to rotate through the transmission belt 19. The lead screws 18 and 17 simultaneously drive the U-shaped plate 16 to move, stirring the coolant at the edge of the cooling tank, causing the coolant at the edge to flow, accelerating heat conduction, and improving the quenching effect. After the cooling tank in the box 1 has been used for a long time, it needs to be cleaned. The valves 7 on both sides can be closed, the water cover 10 can be opened, and the water pump 9 can be started to drain the coolant in the two cooling tanks. The baffle 22 can be removed, and the motor 21 can drive the lead screws 18 and 17 to rotate, causing the U-shaped plate 16 to move. The U-shaped plate 16 drives the push plate 20 to move, scraping out the impurities settled in the cooling tank through the discharge port 15.
