Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piston processing technology, specifically to a piston stress-relief tempering shrinkage adjustable structure. Background Technology
[0002] The piston is one of the core components of an internal combustion engine. Its working environment is extremely harsh, requiring it to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and frequent mechanical impacts. During the manufacturing process of the piston, casting, forging, and other processes can generate residual stress inside the piston. If this residual stress is not eliminated in time, it can lead to problems such as deformation and cracking of the piston during use, seriously affecting the performance and service life of the internal combustion engine.
[0003] Stress-relief tempering is a key process for eliminating residual stress in pistons. By heating the piston to a certain temperature and holding it at that temperature for a period of time, followed by slow cooling, the residual stress inside the piston can be effectively reduced. However, during stress-relief tempering, the piston inevitably contracts, and traditional piston stress-relief tempering devices cannot effectively control the amount of contraction. Different models and materials of pistons exhibit different contraction characteristics during stress-relief tempering, and traditional devices, which use fixed constraint methods, are difficult to adapt to the contraction requirements of different pistons.

The temperature at the upper and lower ends of the piston can be monitored by temperature sensor 23 and temperature sensor 59 respectively. The coolant inside the cooling reservoir 11 can be sent into the constraining block 57 by the pressurizing pump 12. After entering the constraining block 57, the coolant can cool the constraining block 57. Through temperature transfer, the constraining block 57 can cool the top of the piston. At this time, a reasonable temperature gradient can be formed in the piston during stress relief tempering. By adjusting the temperature gradient, the contraction rate of different parts of the piston can be changed, thereby realizing the control of the overall contraction. After passing through the constraining block 57, the coolant enters the cooling pipe 17 through the return water hose 15 and the return water hard pipe 16. After the coolant is cooled by the fan 18 blowing air on the surface of the cooling pipe 17, it returns to the cooling reservoir 11.
