[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rotating shaft heat treatment device, including a heat treatment box 1. Several sets of fixed frames 2 are fixedly welded to the lower side inside the heat treatment box 1. Four sets of connecting plates 3 are fixedly welded to both sides of the middle of the fixed frames 2. Support rollers 4 are rotatably installed between the front and rear connecting plates 3. A rotating shaft 5 is arranged between the two support rollers 4. The support rollers 4 support the rotating shaft 5 and rotate when the rotating shaft 5 rotates, ensuring smooth rotation of the rotating shaft 5. Sliding grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the fixed frames 2. Movable seats 7 are slidably installed on both sides of the fixed frames 2. Two sets of support plates 9 are fixedly welded to the upper part of the movable seats 7. A lifting frame 10 is fixedly welded to the part, and a lifting block 11 is slidably installed inside the lifting frame 10. A first motor 12 is installed on a flange on one side of the lifting block 11. The power end of the first motor 12 passes through the lifting block 11 and is connected to a rotating plate 14 via a coupling. Four sets of sliding rods 15 are slidably installed inside the rotating plate 14. A contact piece 16 is fixedly welded to one end of the sliding rod 15. By moving the moving seat 7 inward along the sliding groove 8, the contact pieces 16 on both sides contact the two ends of the rotating shaft 5. The first motor 12 drives the rotating plate 14, which in turn drives the contact pieces 16 to rotate through the sliding rods 15, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, making the heating of the rotating shaft 5 more uniform.

[0020] A fixing plate 17 is fixedly welded to the other end of the sliding rod 15. A spring 18 is fixedly welded between the fixing plate 17 and the rotating plate 14. The spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 15. When the contact plate 16 contacts the rotating shaft 5, the fixing plate 17 is moved by the sliding rod 15. The fixing plate 17 stretches the spring 18 to prevent the contact plate 16 from putting too much pressure on both sides of the rotating shaft 5, causing the rotating shaft 5 to deform due to heat. Lugs 20 are fixedly welded to both sides of the lifting block 11. A lifting rod 21 is slidably installed inside one lug 20. The lifting rod 21 is fixedly welded to the inside of the lifting frame 10. A threaded rod 19 is installed inside the lug 20. The lower part of the threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the lifting frame 10, and the upper part of the threaded rod 19 passes through the coupling of the lifting frame 10 and is connected to a second motor 13. The flange of the second motor 13 is installed on the upper part of the lifting frame 10. The second motor 13 drives the threaded rod 19, causing the lug 20 to move up and down along the lifting rod 21, thereby moving the contact piece 16 up and down to the coaxial position with the rotating shaft 5, which can fix and rotate the rotating shaft 5 of different sizes. Several sets of hydraulic cylinders 6 are installed on the outer flange of the heat treatment box 1. The power end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 penetrates the heat treatment box 1. The movable seat 7 is threadedly connected to a rack 22 fixedly welded to one side. A hydraulic cylinder 6 drives one side of the movable seat 7 to move. A gear 23 is meshed in the middle of the rack 22. The gear 23 is rotatably connected to the inner middle of the fixed frame 2. When one side of the movable seat 7 moves, the rack 22 drives the gear 23 to rotate, and the gear 23 drives the other side of the rack 22 to move, thus moving the other side of the movable seat 7 the same distance. This ensures that the contact plates 16 on both sides simultaneously contact the rotating shaft 5 located in the middle of the support roller 4. A limiting plate 24 is fixedly welded to the other end of the rack 22 to control the movement distance of the rack 22. The rack 22 is restricted to prevent it from disengaging from the gear 23. A partition plate 25 is fixedly welded to the middle of the heat treatment chamber 1. Several sets of vents 26 are opened at the lower part of the partition plate 25. An air inlet pipe 28 is fixedly welded to the upper part of the heat treatment chamber 1. A heating element 27 is installed inside the upper side of the heat treatment chamber 1 by thread. The air inlet pipe 28 is equipped with an air intake component to draw gas in through the air inlet pipe 28. After being heated by the heating element 27, the gas is discharged through the vents 26 to heat treat the rotating shaft 5 inside the heat treatment chamber 1. The lower side of the vents 26 is directly opposite the rotating shaft 5, so that the hot air is directly facing the rotating shaft 5, thereby improving the heat treatment efficiency.

[0021] Working principle: In use, the rotating shaft 5 is placed in the middle between the two support rollers 4. The second motor 13 drives the threaded rod 19, which drives the lug 20 to move up and down along the lifting rod 21, thereby moving the contact piece 16 up and down to the coaxial position with the rotating shaft 5. The hydraulic cylinder 6 pushes the moving seat 7 on one side to move along the sliding groove 8. When the moving seat 7 moves, the rack 22 drives the gear 23 to rotate, and the gear 23 drives the rack 22 on the other side to move, thereby moving the moving seat 7 on the other side by the same distance, ensuring that the contact pieces 16 on both sides simultaneously contact the rotating shaft 5 located in the middle of the support rollers 4. When the contact piece 16 contacts the rotating shaft 5, the fixed piece 17 moves through the sliding rod 15. The fixed piece 17 stretches the spring 18 to prevent the contact piece 16 from putting too much pressure on both sides of the rotating shaft 5, causing the rotating shaft 5 to deform due to heat. The first motor 12 drives the rotating piece 14, which drives the contact piece 16 to rotate through the sliding rod 15, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, making the heating of the rotating shaft 5 more uniform.
