In the field of nitriding, composite heat treatment technology usually combines nitriding with other surface treatment processes, such as carburizing, quenching, tempering, and shot peening, to form a new type of heat treatment process system.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN218115565U, which discloses a furnace box, a gas guide cylinder, a column, a fan, and a turntable. One end of the gas guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace box, and the other end extends into the furnace box. The gas guide cylinder is also connected to multiple inlet gas pipes. The column is mounted inside the furnace box using bearing seats. The fan and turntable are both fixedly connected to the column, arranged sequentially from top to bottom, with the fan housed within the gas guide cylinder. Using this utility model's technical solution, the workpiece is suspended from the turntable by a rope.

[0027] After a batch of workpieces inside the carbonitriding furnace body 2 has finished working, a motor 304 on the outside of an extension plate 301 is started. The motor 304 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the support seat 305, which is threaded to it, to move away from the carbonitriding furnace body 2 along the limit rod 303. This continues until the support frame 402 inside the carbonitriding furnace body 2 is completely removed from the carbonitriding furnace body 2.

Two vertically arranged mounting shafts 403 are rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the support frame 402. Two horizontally arranged receiving mesh trays 404 and limiting mesh trays 405 are coaxially fixed on the outer circumference of the two mounting shafts 403. The two limiting mesh trays 405 are respectively located above the two receiving mesh trays 404.

[0029] Two driven bevel gears 406 are coaxially fixed at one end of the bottom of each of the two mounting shafts 403. A motor 408 is mounted on the inner wall of the top of the support frame 402 through a fixed bracket. A transmission rod 407 is coaxially fixed at the output end of the motor 408.

All four rollers 310 are in contact with the top wall of the base plate 1, making the driving process of the support base 305 easier.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, motor 2 308 uses a servo motor, which makes the rotation angle of mounting base 306 more precise.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper part of the support frame 402 and the furnace door 401 are both made of refractory bricks, which can prevent damage to both and prevent heat from escaping.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a through hole 409 is provided inside the furnace door 401, and the through hole 409 is connected to the internal space of the support frame 402.
