Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sprocket manufacturing technology, and in particular to a high-frequency heat treatment device for lubrication-free sprocket production. Background Technology

[0002] The high-frequency heat treatment device consists of a cooling tank and a heating copper ring. A lifting tray is installed in the cooling tank. The sprocket is placed on the lifting tray, and the lifting tray moves the sprocket into the copper ring. Then the copper ring is heated. After heating is completed, the sprocket is put back into the cooling tank to cool.

[0003] Because the number of copper rings and lifting trays is limited, the sprocket needs to be removed quickly after it enters the cooling water and replaced with the next unheated and quenched sprocket. Operators usually wear high-temperature resistant gloves to remove the sprocket, but the cooling time of the sprocket is not enough and the temperature is still too high. If the operator accidentally touches the sprocket with any part of their body other than their hands, there is still a risk of burns. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

The output end of the waterproof motor is fixedly connected to the support plate. A material handling groove with a U-shaped groove is formed through the surface of the material handling plate. Multiple hydraulic cylinders are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is driven to lift and lower by the hydraulic cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, multiple hydraulic cylinders are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling pool, and the output end of each hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate.

A second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the platform of the mounting plate, and a push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder. The push plate abuts against the outer wall of the adjusting plate, and limit rods are fixedly installed at both ends of the push plate.

[0015] like Figure 1-3 The high-frequency heat treatment device for lubrication-free sprocket production shown includes a cooling tank 1 and a material handling device installed inside the cooling tank 1. The material handling device includes a mounting plate 2, a material handling plate 5, and a waterproof motor 7. The mounting plate 2 is movably installed on one side of the inner wall of the cooling tank 1. The waterproof motor 7 and the material handling plate 5 are both installed above the mounting plate 2. A support plate 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the material handling plate 5. The output end of the waterproof motor 7 is fixedly connected to the support plate 6. A material handling groove is formed through the surface of the material handling plate 5. The material handling groove is U-shaped. Multiple hydraulic cylinders 3 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is driven to lift and lower by the hydraulic cylinders 3.

[0016] Multiple hydraulic cylinders 3 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling pool 1, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2. An adjusting plate 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the material handling plate 5, and two vertical grooves 11 are opened through the outer wall of the adjusting plate 9. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the platform of the mounting plate 2, and a push plate 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 4. The push plate 13 abuts against the outer wall of the adjusting plate 9, and limit rods 10 are fixedly installed at both ends of the push plate 13. The two limit rods 10 are respectively embedded in the two vertical grooves 11.

[0017] The mounting plate 2 has a groove 12 on its surface. A movable plate 8 is embedded in the groove 12. A waterproof motor 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 8. The movable plate 8 is fixedly connected to the push plate 13. A support block is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the movable plate 8. The support block is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting plate 2.

[0018] Example: The sprocket is placed on the lifting tray. After heating is completed, the lifting tray drives the sprocket to descend into the coolant in the cooling pool 1. In the initial state, the material taking component is placed in the cooling water. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 4 on the mounting plate 2 is started and extends the output end. The output end drives the push plate 13 to push the adjusting plate 9. The adjusting plate 9 drives the material taking plate 5 forward. The opening of the U-shaped groove of the material taking plate 5 moves to below the sprocket. The push plate 13 drives the moving plate 8 to move. The waterproof motor 7 is driven by the moving plate 8. The moving plate 8 slides in the slide groove 12. After the material taking plate 5 moves into place, the waterproof motor 7 drives the support plate 6 to rotate upward at a certain angle. The support plate 6 drives the material taking plate 5 to rotate upward at a certain angle. The material taking plate 5 drives the adjusting plate 9 to rotate. When the adjusting plate 9 rotates, the vertical groove 11 and the limiting rod 10 are interlocked to provide guidance for the rotation of the material taking plate 5 and improve the stability during rotation. After the material receiving plate 5 is tilted, the sprocket slides on the U-shaped groove of the material receiving plate 5 and moves to the bottom of the material receiving plate 5. Then the waterproof motor 7 drives the material receiving plate 5 to return to the initial angle, the hydraulic cylinder 4 retracts the output end, the push plate 13 drives the moving plate 8 and the waterproof motor 7 to reset, and the waterproof motor 7 drives the material receiving plate 5 to reset. After the next sprocket is heated, the material receiving component repeats the material receiving action. Multiple sprockets can be placed on the material receiving plate 5 in batches.

[0019] Removing sprockets in batches can save time for manual material handling. Continuous immersion in cooling water increases cooling time and reduces the risk of burns to operators when handling materials. When multiple sprockets on the material handling plate 5 need to be removed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated to raise the material handling plate 5 above the cooling pool 1, allowing operators to remove multiple sprockets.

[0020] It should be noted that the parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology; the various drives in this utility model can be implemented by corresponding power structures such as cylinders, oil cylinders, electric cylinders, and motors in conjunction with connecting rods, guide rods, etc., and are not limited to the structures described in the specification and the drawings.
