Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment technology for circular knitting machine syringes, and in particular to a heat treatment device for large circular knitting machine syringes. Background Technology

[0002] The cylinder of a circular knitting machine is the core working component of the machine, and its structure and function directly affect the quality of the fabric and production efficiency.

[0003] The cylinder of a large circular knitting machine needs to withstand the friction and impact of the knitting needles during high-speed operation. By quenching and low-temperature tempering, a high-hardness martensitic structure can be formed, which significantly extends the service life.

[0004] The existing low-temperature tempering process for large circular knitting machine syringes is carried out in an oven. Since the oven is set up independently, after the low-temperature tempering process is completed, the syringes need to be taken out of the oven and then cooled, which is a rather cumbersome process. Utility Model Content

The heat treatment sealing cover is placed on the workpiece positioning seat by manual or robotic arm. During this process, the spiral heating tube is nested inside the syringe. When the spiral heating tube heats up, it will perform a low-temperature tempering process on the syringe. After the process is completed, the heat treatment sealing cover is removed by manual or robotic arm. The cover is then moved to the cooling zone by the drive screw for direct cooling, which effectively simplifies the process.

[0010] In one embodiment, to improve the compactness of the structure, several syringe placement slots are arranged in a circular array with the positioning slot as the center.

[0011] In one embodiment, in order to enable the spiral heating tubes to perform heating operations, the base is provided with a power input device connected to several spiral heating tubes to conduct current into the resistance wires inside the spiral heating tubes to generate heat. A power supply cable interface adapted to the power input device is provided on one side of the base.

[0012] In one embodiment, a handle is provided on the top surface of the seat to facilitate the removal of the seat by the staff.

[0013] In one embodiment, in order to accommodate syringes of different thicknesses, the outer diameter of the spiral heating tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the syringe placement groove, and the gap between the two is 0.5cm-3cm.

[0014] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:
