[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes an insulated box for heat treatment of steel bars.
[0027] In one embodiment, a heat-insulating box for heat treatment of steel bars includes: a base 100, a box body 110 fixedly connected to the top of the base 100, a cover plate 120 provided on the top of the box body 110, and a material guiding mechanism 200 installed on the box body 110; the material guiding mechanism 200 includes a heat-insulating cavity 210 opened inside the box body 110, and inlet and outlet ports 280 connected to the heat-insulating cavity 210 are opened on both sides of the box body 110; a plurality of symmetrically arranged supports 220 are distributed inside the heat-insulating cavity 210; guide wheels 230 are rotatably connected to the supports 220; the surface of the guide wheels 230 is provided with a limiting groove 240 corresponding to the steel bar; and the diameter of the inlet and outlet ports 280 is corresponding to the diameter of the steel bar.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide wheel 230 is centrally located inside the housing 110, and the steel rod is coaxially aligned with the inlet / outlet 280. A limiting strip is fixedly connected to the upper part of the insulation cavity 210. The cover plate 120 is fitted against the top of the limiting strip, and a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 120. The sealing gasket is tightly fitted against the top edge of the housing 110, and a handle is also provided on the top of the cover plate 120. The insulation cavity 210 is filled with high-temperature hollow bricks and asbestos. The insulation cavity 210 is also filled with high-temperature iron pipes and asbestos. There are at least three guide wheels 230, and the distance between adjacent guide wheels 230 is equal. An asbestos gasket is adhered to the inner wall of the limiting groove 240. The housing 110 is also provided with a sealing mechanism 300. The sealing mechanism 300 includes positioning blocks 310 disposed on both sides of the opening assembly. A connecting shaft connected to the connecting block 260 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 310. A torsion spring 320 is disposed between the positioning block 310 and the fixing block 250. One end of the torsion spring 320 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block 310. A sealing ring 330 corresponding to the baffle 270 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 110.
[0029] In this embodiment, the base 100 provides stable support for the entire insulation box, and the box body 110 and the cover plate 120 cooperate to form a closed insulation space. The limiting strip positions the cover plate 120, ensuring a precise fit with the box body 110, while the sealing gasket further enhances the sealing of the box body 110, reducing heat loss. The handle on the top of the cover plate 120 facilitates opening and closing for operators. The high-temperature hollow bricks, high-temperature iron pipes, and asbestos filling the insulation cavity 210 utilize their excellent insulation properties to effectively maintain a stable temperature inside the box. Operators can replace the high-temperature hollow bricks and high-temperature iron pipes filling the insulation cavity 210 by opening the cover plate 120. Multiple equally spaced guide wheels 230 and limiting grooves 240 guide and transport the steel bars, improving the heat treatment efficiency of the steel bars. The asbestos gasket not only prevents damage caused by direct friction between the steel bars and the guide wheels 230 but also assists in insulation, preventing heat conduction caused by direct contact between the steel bars and the guide wheels 230. The steel bars are coaxially arranged with the inlet and outlet ports 280°, ensuring the coaxiality of the steel bar conveying and reducing shaking and heat loss during the conveying process.
[0030] The base 100 is made of high-strength cast iron with anti-slip textured bottom to enhance friction with the ground and prevent displacement of the insulation box due to vibrations caused by the steel rod conveying during operation. The box body 110 adopts a double-layer steel plate structure, with an inner layer of high-temperature resistant alloy steel plate and an outer layer of ordinary carbon steel plate. A gap is reserved between the two layers of steel plates to further enhance the thermal insulation performance of the box body 110.
[0031] The torsion spring 320 is made of high-temperature resistant spring steel and is in a pre-tightened state in its free state. When the steel bar passes through the inlet / outlet 280, the baffle 270 is pushed open, and the connecting shaft rotates synchronously with the connecting block 260. The torsion spring 320 is further torsionated and stores elastic potential energy. After the steel bar has completely passed through, the torsion spring 320 releases its potential energy, driving the connecting block 260 to reset through the connecting shaft. This causes the baffle 270 to automatically fit against the sealing ring 330, completing the sealing without manual operation, thus improving operational convenience and sealing timeliness. The sealing ring 330 is made of high-temperature resistant silicone rubber with a trapezoidal cross-section. When the baffle 270 resets under the action of the torsion spring 320, the edges of the baffle 270 tightly press against the sealing ring 330, forming a multi-layer sealing structure. By blocking the inlet / outlet 280 with the baffle 270 and filling the gap between the baffle 270 and the housing 110 with the elastic deformation of the sealing ring 330, the risk of heat loss from the gaps is significantly reduced, further improving the insulation effect. By automatically resetting the mechanical system, the problems of poor sealing and delayed response that exist in the traditional manual closing baffle 270 are solved. This ensures that the insulation box maintains a highly efficient sealing state during the continuous transport of steel bars, further reducing temperature fluctuations and providing a more stable environment for the uniform transformation of the steel bar structure.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the material guiding mechanism 200 also includes a cover opening assembly. The cover opening assembly includes symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 250, with connecting blocks 260 rotatably connected between the fixing blocks 250. A baffle 270 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 260, and the diameter of the baffle 270 is larger than the diameter of the inlet / outlet 280. Two sets of cover opening assemblies are provided, one set is set on the outer surface of the housing 110, and the other set is set on the inner wall of the housing 110. The two sets of cover opening assemblies are respectively set corresponding to the two inlet / outlet 280.
[0033] In this embodiment, the opening assembly controls the opening and closing of the inlet / outlet 280 through the cooperation of the fixing block 250, the connecting block 260, and the baffle 270. When a steel rod needs to enter or exit, the steel rod pushes the baffle 270 at the corresponding position, causing the connecting block 260 to rotate and open. When the steel rod is fully inside the insulation cavity 210, the baffle 270 closes under gravity. Since its diameter is larger than the diameter of the inlet / outlet 280, it effectively prevents heat loss from the inlet / outlet 280. The two sets of opening assemblies seal the two inlet / outlet 280 from the inside and outside of the box 110 respectively, further enhancing the sealing of the insulation box and improving the insulation effect without affecting the transportation of the steel rod. Moreover, the baffle 270 automatically closes when the steel rod is fully inside and outside the insulation cavity 210, reducing heat loss without manual operation.
[0034] Working Principle: After the steel bar exits the heating furnace, one end of the steel bar is horizontally inserted into the insulation chamber 210 through an inlet / outlet 280, making the steel bar tangential to the limiting groove 240, and placed onto the guide wheel 230 inside the insulation chamber 210. At this time, the baffle 270 inside the insulation chamber 210 is lifted by the steel bar and slides on the surface of the steel bar as it moves. Guided by the limiting groove 240, the steel bar is conveyed forward along the same axis as the inlet / outlet 280 until it is completely inside the insulation chamber 210. At this point, the baffle 270 closes under the action of gravity, preventing heat loss from the insulation chamber 210. The high-temperature hollow bricks, high-temperature iron pipes, and asbestos inside the insulation chamber 210 play an insulating role, maintaining a stable temperature inside the chamber. The asbestos gasket reduces frictional damage between the steel bar and the guide wheel 230. After sufficient structural transformation in the insulation chamber 210, the steel bar is sent out through another inlet / outlet 280 and enters the water tank for cooling. After the steel bars have undergone sufficient transformation, they are moved out of the insulation chamber 210 by the subsequent steel bars requiring heat preservation. At this time, the baffle 270 on the outside of the chamber 110 is lifted by the steel bars until the steel bars are completely removed from the insulation chamber 210 and then closes. Throughout the process, the guide wheels 230 ensure stable transport of the steel bars, and the insulation structure ensures stable temperature, thereby achieving uniform transformation of the steel bar structure and improving the quality of heat treatment.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
