[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention proposes a heat treatment device for seamless stainless steel pipes, comprising a base 1, a slide 7, a mounting bracket 11, a limiting component, and a driving component B. A heating box is mounted on the base 1, with a through hole. An electric heating coil 4 is installed inside the heating box, coaxial with the through hole. The heating box includes a control box 2, a flip cover 3, and a latch 5. The bottom of the control box 2 is connected to the base 1. A PLC controller is installed inside the control box 2, electrically connected to the electric heating coil 4. An arc-shaped groove A201 communicating with its inner cavity is provided on the control box 2. A hinge is provided on the control box 2. The flip cover 3 is rotatably connected to the control box 2 via the hinge, and the flip cover 3 and the control box 2 are controlled to open and close via the latch 5. An arc-shaped groove B301 communicating with its inner cavity is provided on the flip cover 3, and the through hole is formed by the cooperation of the arc-shaped groove A201 and the arc-shaped groove B301. The latch 5 includes a female latch and a hook. The hook is connected to the flip cover 3, and the female latch is connected to the control box 2. The hook and the female latch are engaged. The heating coil 4 has a built-in high-precision temperature sensor, which includes, but is not limited to, a platinum resistance thermometer. The high-precision temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller. There are two carriages 7, which are slidably mounted on the base 1 and located on both sides of the heating box. The base 1 is equipped with a drive assembly A that drives the two carriages 7 to move closer or further away synchronously. The carriages 7 are equipped with a chuck with no less than three jaws 10. The chuck includes a chuck body 9 and a drive assembly C. The drive assembly C includes a helical gear 18, a helical gear 20, a motor B21, and a coupling B. The helical gear 18 is located on the inner wall of the chuck body 9 and is coaxially rotatably connected to it. The helical gear 18 is positioned away from the toothed edge of the toothed part of the chuck body 9. A planar helical guide bar 19 coaxial with the chuck body 9 is provided at the end. Each jaw 10 is arranged in a circular array around the axis of the chuck body 9 and is slidably connected to the chuck body 9. A tube passage coaxial with the chuck body 9 is provided. The jaws 10 are provided with toothed grooves that engage with the planar helical guide bar 19. A drive shaft is provided on the chuck body 9. A helical gear 20 is coaxially connected to the drive shaft and meshes with a helical gear plate 18. The body of motor B21 is connected to the chuck body 9. The output end of motor B21 is connected to the drive shaft through a coupling B. The drive assembly A includes a bidirectional module 8. A guide rail 6 is provided on the base 1. Two slides 7 are slidably connected to the guide rail 6. The body of the bidirectional module 8 is connected to the base 1 and parallel to the guide rail 6. The two output slides of the bidirectional module 8 are respectively connected to the slides 7 on the corresponding sides.Mounting brackets 11 include multiple brackets, each connected to a corresponding gripper 10. Each mounting bracket 11 has several rotating shafts 12 rotatably connected to it. Each rotating shaft 12 has a coaxially mounted positioning wheel 13, and the positioning wheels 13 on both chucks rotate in the same direction. A limiting component is mounted on one of the rotating shafts 12 and acts on the positioning wheel 13 on that shaft 12. The limiting component includes a ratchet 14 and ratchet teeth 16. The positioning wheel 13 has a coaxial circular groove 131 and a sliding groove 132 communicating with the circular groove 131. The ratchet 14 is located within the circular groove 131. It is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 12. A spring rod 15 is provided in the slide groove 132. The ratchet 16 is connected to the movable end of the spring rod 15, and the ratchet 16 is inserted into the circular groove 131 and engages with the ratchet 14 in one direction, so as to limit the positioning wheel 13 to rotate in only one direction through the limiting component. The drive component B is provided on one of the mounting brackets 11. The drive component B includes a motor A17 and a coupling A. The body of the motor A17 is connected to the mounting bracket 11. The output end of the motor A17 is connected to the rotating shaft 12 through the coupling A. When the drive component B is in working state, it drives the positioning wheel 13 on the mounting bracket 11 to rotate.
[0027] In this embodiment, the stainless steel tube is inserted from the right side of the right-side chuck to the left. Motor B21 is started, driving the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn rotates the helical gear 20, causing the helical gear disc 18 and the planar spiral guide bar 19 to rotate. This causes the grippers 10 to synchronously approach until all positioning wheels 13 are pressed against the outer wall of the stainless steel tube. Then, the heating coil 4 is started for preheating. The temperature of the heating coil 4 is controlled by a high-precision temperature sensor made of platinum resistance thermometer and a PLC controller. Next, motor A17 is started, driving the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn rotates the positioning wheel 13 through the engagement of the ratchet 14 and ratchet 16. The positioning wheel 13 rotates to actively transport the stainless steel pipe. The front end of the stainless steel pipe passes through the inside of the heating coil 4 and is heated. After being heated, the stainless steel pipe passes through the pipe passage of the left chuck body 9. Then, the left positioning wheel 13 clamps the pipe. The left and right motors A17 work together to pass the entire stainless steel pipe through the heating coil 4. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the control of motors A17, the two motors A17 are controlled by a switch to start and stop. The speed difference of motors A17 will not interfere with the transport of the stainless steel pipe due to the presence of ratchet 14 and ratchet 16, and the positioning wheel 13 will not generate much friction with the stainless steel pipe.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the heat treatment device for seamless stainless steel tubes proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, has a guide shroud 22 coaxially mounted on the chuck body 9 on the discharge side. The guide shroud 22 has an annular structure, and the air outlet of the guide shroud 22 faces its axis. A worm gear 23 coaxially rotates inside the guide shroud 22, and an air inlet pipe 24 communicating with its inner cavity is mounted on the guide shroud 22 at a position offset from its axis. The air inlet pipe 24 is connected to an external blower, and the input end of the blower is connected to a cold air pipe.
[0030] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to accelerate the cooling of the high-temperature stainless steel pipe, the cold air in the cold air pipe is drawn by the blower and injected into the air inlet pipe 24. The low-temperature air in the air inlet pipe 24 enters the air guide hood 22 and drives the turbine 23 to rotate, so that the cold air is blown evenly onto the surface of the stainless steel pipe that passes through the inner channel of the annular air guide hood 22, so that it is cooled evenly and the cooling efficiency is high.
