Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment technology, specifically to a heat treatment salt bath quenching tank. Background Technology
[0002] Heat treatment refers to a metal hot working process in which the chemical composition and structure of a metal material are changed on its surface or inside by heating, holding, and cooling in a solid state to obtain the desired properties. A salt bath quenching tank, also known as a brine quenching tank, is mainly used for quenching mechanical workpieces in various salt solutions or mixed salt solutions as the quenching medium.
[0003] Currently, during the salt bath quenching process, a large amount of oil fumes are generated when the workpiece comes into contact with the quenching medium. The oil fumes contain a variety of harmful gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride, which will increase the concentration of particulate matter in the air and pollute the working environment. Moreover, the workpiece is in contact with the outside air for a long time after heating, which can easily cause blackening. Due to the poor fluidity of the quenching medium, the temperature of the quenching medium is uneven, the workpiece is prone to deformation, and the hardness of the workpiece after quenching is affected.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application embodiment provides a heat treatment salt bath quenching tank, including a salt bath quenching tank 1 and a cover plate 2 movably installed on the upper end of the salt bath quenching tank 1. The upper end of the cover plate 2 is connected to an opening and closing mechanism. The opening and closing mechanism includes a set of guide rails 3, two sets of connecting rods 4, a fixed frame 5, a servo cylinder 6, a push frame 7, two sets of hinge rods 8, a set of U-shaped grooves 9, and a set of guide pulleys 10. A set of guide rails 3 is installed on both sides of the upper end of the salt bath quenching tank 1. Two sets of connecting rods 4 are installed on the outside of a set of guide rails 3. The fixed frame 5 is installed on the upper end of two sets of connecting rods 4. The servo cylinder 6 is installed at the rear end of the fixed frame 5. The push frame 7 is installed on the telescopic end of the servo cylinder 6. One end of each of the two sets of hinge rods 8 is hinged to the push frame 7, and the other end is hinged to the top of the cover plate 2. A set of U-shaped grooves 9 is opened at the front end of a set of guide rails 3. A set of guide pulleys 10 is installed on the outer side of the bottom of a set of hinge rods 8 at the rear end, and is slidably installed on a set of guide rails 3.
[0023] In this embodiment, the user first places the heated workpiece in the salt bath quenching tank 1. The servo cylinder 6 extends its telescopic end, pushing the pusher frame 7 to move forward. The bottom outer side of a set of hinge rods 8 at the rear end is slidably mounted on a set of guide rails 3 via a set of guide pulleys 10. The pusher frame 7 drives the cover plate 2 to move horizontally forward first through the two sets of hinge rods 8. When the set of guide pulleys 10 moves to a set of U-shaped grooves 9, the two sets of hinge rods 8 deflect, causing the cover plate 2 to descend and automatically close on the salt bath quenching tank 1.

The steel wire connecting ropes 15 are respectively fitted onto the guide wheels 14, with one end fixed to the bottom of the rectangular grooves 12. The connecting seats 16 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the support frame 11 and are fixedly connected to the other ends of the steel wire connecting ropes 15. Figure 7 As shown, the heated workpiece is placed in the support frame 11. A set of electric push rods 13 reciprocate through their telescopic ends. Through a set of guide wheels 14 and a set of steel wire connecting ropes 15, the support frame 11 is driven to move up and down repeatedly, so that the workpiece is in full contact with the salt bath quenching medium, thereby improving the hardness of the workpiece after quenching. The liquid level in the salt bath quenching tank 1 is lower than a set of rectangular grooves 12.
[0025] In some embodiments, a set of fixed slide rails 17 are installed on both sides of the salt bath quenching tank 1, and the rear ends of a set of connecting seats 16 are slidably installed on a set of fixed slide rails 17 to facilitate the reciprocating lifting and lowering movement of the support frame 11.
[0026] In some embodiments, a plurality of permeation holes 18 are uniformly opened on the outer surface of the support frame 11 to facilitate the immersion of salt bath medium into the support frame 11.
[0027] In some embodiments, a set of opposing strip grooves 19 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 5, and the push frame 7 is slidably mounted on the set of opposing strip grooves 19 on both sides, so as to facilitate the movement of the push frame 7 within the fixed frame 5.
