Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tempering technology, specifically to an energy-saving tempering furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Tempering is a key process in metal heat treatment, typically performed after quenching. It involves heating the workpiece to a specific temperature, holding it at that temperature, and then cooling it to eliminate internal stress and adjust mechanical properties such as hardness and toughness. The tempering furnace is the core equipment for this process, precisely controlling temperature and holding time to ensure uniform heating. It is widely used in the treatment of steel parts, improving the stability and service life of components in fields such as machinery manufacturing and the automotive industry.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219886133U discloses an energy-saving tempering furnace, comprising: a cover, a furnace body assembly, a first gear, a second gear, a connecting plate, a first rotating shaft, a first motor, a mounting base, a second motor, and a second rotating shaft. The cover is connected to the upper end of the furnace body assembly. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the cover. The upper end of the first rotating shaft protrudes above the cover and is coaxially connected to the first gear. The lower end of the first rotating shaft is located inside the furnace body assembly and is coaxially connected to the connecting plate. A workpiece support is connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate. The first motor is connected to the cover and is connected to a second gear that meshes with the first gear. A first through hole is provided along the axial direction on the first rotating shaft. The mounting base is connected to... The second motor is connected to the mounting base, and the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft passes through the first through hole, and the lower end of the second rotating shaft is connected to the fan. However, in this energy-saving tempering furnace, the heating components are concentrated at the bottom of the furnace body, and the heat is mainly transferred through the natural convection of hot air. This leads to an unbalanced temperature distribution inside the furnace. The temperature in the lower area is higher due to direct heating, while the heat transfer in the middle and upper space is delayed, resulting in a significant temperature difference. The workpiece is heated unevenly in different positions. The lower workpiece is prone to over-tempering, while the upper workpiece may be under-tempered. Ultimately, this can easily lead to fluctuations in the hardness, toughness, and other performance parameters of batch products, affecting the stability of processing quality and increasing subsequent quality inspection and rework costs.

[0016] To maintain the furnace temperature:

[0017] Further configuration: the frame and the sealing door form a sealing structure through a sealing bracket.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the frame and sealed door can ensure the temperature inside the furnace and prevent uneven temperature distribution.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An energy-saving tempering furnace includes a furnace body 1, a sealing component 2 fixedly installed on the side end of the furnace body 1 by welding, and a pressure relief component 3 fixedly installed inside the sealing component 2.

[0030] The furnace body 1 includes an outer shell 11. A support frame 12 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outer shell 11 by screws and nuts. The outer shell 11 and the support frame 12 constitute a protective support structure. A first heating component 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell 11 by welding. Several air inlets 14 are opened on the top of the outer shell 11. A mounting base 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell 11 by welding. A motor 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 15 by screws and nuts. A fan 17 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the motor 16. A second heating component 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the outer shell 11 by screws. A placement rack 19 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 11 through a sliding groove.

[0031] The sealing assembly 2 includes a frame 21 fixedly installed at one end of the housing 11 by welding. A sealing bracket 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the frame 21. A sealing door 23 is rotatably installed at one end of the sealing bracket 22 by a hinge. A handle 24 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sealing door 23 by screws.

[0032] The pressure relief assembly 3 includes a frame 21 with two threaded knobs 31 threadedly mounted on the top, a spring 32 slidably mounted on the bottom of the threaded knobs 31, a pressure relief ball 33 slidably mounted on the bottom of the spring 32, a cooling chamber 34 inside the frame 21, two openings 35 on the top of the inner wall of the cooling chamber 34, a pressure relief port 36 on both sides of the frame 21, and a water inlet 37 and a water outlet 38 on the side end of the frame 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, motor 16 and fan 17 form a rotating structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the first heating component 13 and the second heating component 18, together with the motor 16 and the fan 17, form a uniform heating structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 21 and the sealing door 23 form a sealing structure through the sealing bracket 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the threaded knob 31 and the pressure relief port 36, together with the spring 32 and the pressure relief ball 33, form a pressure relief structure through the opening 35.

[0037] The working process of this energy-saving tempering furnace is as follows:

[0038] First, the user needs to place the two placement racks 19 into the furnace through the slide, then place the processing components on the placement racks 19, and then flip the sealing door 23 by the handle 24 to form a sealing structure with the sealing bracket 22 and the frame 21.

[0039] Afterwards, the user needs to activate the first heating component 13 and the second heating component 18 via an external electrical control. The first heating component 13 and the second heating component 18 will continuously heat the temperature inside the tempering furnace until the temperature inside the furnace reaches the processing standard. Then, the user can start the motor 16. The motor 16, which is fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing 11 via the mounting base 15, will drive the fan 17, which is mounted on the bottom of the motor 16, to rotate. The rotating fan 17, together with several air inlets 14 on the top of the outer casing 11, draws air into the tempering furnace to form an airflow. After the airflow passes through the second heating component 18, it forms hot air, which is blown onto the processing component placed above the placement rack 19 to heat the processing component. After passing through the processing component, the hot air will be discharged through the ventilation port at the rear end of the outer casing 11, thereby achieving heat circulation. This ensures that the processing component inside the furnace is heated evenly, reduces the temperature difference inside the tempering furnace, and prevents the processing component from being heated unevenly, which could lead to inconsistent hardness, toughness, and other properties of batch products, affecting the stability of processing quality and increasing subsequent quality inspection and rework costs.

[0040] After processing is completed, the user can open the sealed door 23 through the handle 24 and take out the processing component placed on the rack 19. Then, the user only needs to put the cooling water into the cooling chamber 34 through the inlet 37, and then turn the two threaded knobs 31 that are threaded on the top of the outer casing 11. The loosened threaded knobs 31 will allow the pressure relief ball 33 to move. When the cooling water in the cooling chamber 34 becomes too pressurized due to high temperature evaporation, it will push the pressure relief ball 33, which will push the spring 32 to contract, and cooperate with the pressure relief port 36 to relieve pressure. The cooling water in the cooling chamber 34 can then be discharged through the outlet 38.
