Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw manufacturing technology, and in particular to a raw material annealing furnace for screw manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Before production, screws require heat treatment of the steel in a spheroidizing annealing furnace to improve the processing performance of the raw materials, enhance the mechanical properties of the screws, reduce the risk of cracking during processing, and ensure the stability of product quality.

[0003] Currently, traditional spheroidizing annealing furnaces have a simple heating element layout, a large temperature difference between the furnace edge and center, and natural convection of hot air flow leading to temperature stratification, with the lower layer having a lower temperature. Uneven material density can also cause local overheating or underheating. All of these problems can lead to uneven temperature distribution during heat treatment, thus affecting the processing quality.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a raw material annealing furnace for screw production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a raw material annealing furnace for screw production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An annealing furnace for raw materials used in screw production includes an outer furnace body, a furnace cover, and a rotating lifting device. An inner furnace body is located within the outer furnace body, and an annular air passage is formed between the inner sidewall of the outer furnace body and the outer sidewall of the inner furnace body. A heating coil is installed at the inner bottom of the outer furnace body, and several heating resistance strips are installed on the inner sidewall of the outer furnace body. An installation cylinder is fixed to the inner top surface of the furnace cover, and a circulating fan and a flow guide are sequentially connected below the installation cylinder. The flow guide extends into the inner furnace body. A motor is installed on the furnace cover, and the motor is connected to the impeller of the circulating fan via a drive shaft. Several flow guide plates inclined towards the axis are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the inner furnace body, and a perforated flow equalization plate is provided at the bottom of the inner furnace body.

[0008] In a further embodiment, thermocouples are installed at the four corners of the bottom, the four corners of the middle inner wall, and the four corners of the upper inner wall of the inner furnace body.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the mounting cylinder and the circulating fan, as well as the circulating fan and the guide shroud, are connected by flanges.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the fairing adopts a conical structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the tilt angle of the deflector is 15-45°.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the flow equalization plate is supported by several support columns between itself and the bottom of the outer furnace body, and the support columns and the through holes on the surface of the flow equalization plate are distributed alternately.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, by setting up a circulating fan and a conical guide hood on the furnace top, along with guide plates on the furnace wall and flow equalization plates at the furnace bottom, allows hot air to be blown into the furnace by the circulating fan, and guided by the guide plates to the central area of ​​the furnace. Finally, it flows through the flow equalization plates into the annular air passage and is evenly drawn into the air inlet by the circulating fan, thus forming a forced convection heat circulation in the furnace, solving the problem of uneven temperature distribution in traditional annealing furnaces.

Several heating resistance strips 6 are installed on the inner sidewall of the outer furnace body 1. The heating resistance strips 6 are distributed along the axial direction of the outer furnace body 1 and are divided into upper, middle and lower zones with independent temperature control for auxiliary heating. Specifically, thermocouples are installed at the four corners of the bottom inner part, the four corners of the middle inner wall, and the four corners of the upper inner wall of the inner furnace body 4.
