[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the quenching furnace includes a furnace body 1, which contains a furnace chamber 8. The furnace chamber 8 has a muffle tube inside. From the outside to the inside, the furnace chamber 8 is provided with a radiation shielding layer, a heat insulation layer, and a working layer. The radiation shielding layer is made of nano-board 3. The heat insulation layer is laid with aluminum silicate fiberboard 4 and mullite crystal fiber brick 5 in sequence. The working layer uses high-alumina shaped refractory brick 6 and high-alumina lightweight heat-insulating refractory brick 7.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, the furnace body 1 contains the furnace chamber body 8, which is the core part of the quenching furnace and is used for heat treatment of the band saw blade. The radiation shielding layer is located on the outermost layer of the furnace chamber body 8 and is made of nano-plate 3. The nano-plate 3 has excellent radiation shielding performance, which can effectively reflect the heat inside the furnace body 1, reduce energy consumption, and improve the working environment temperature outside the furnace body 1. The heat insulation layer is adjacent to the inner side of the radiation shielding layer and is made of aluminum silicate fiber board 4 and mullite crystal fiber brick 5 laid in sequence. The aluminum silicate fiber board 4 has good heat insulation performance, while the mullite crystal fiber brick 5 further enhances the heat insulation effect and ensures the temperature stability inside the furnace. The working layer is in direct contact with the atmosphere inside the furnace chamber body 8 and the saw blade. It is laid with high alumina shaped refractory brick 6 and high alumina lightweight heat-insulating refractory brick 7, which can withstand high temperature environment and ensure the durability and heat treatment effect of the furnace chamber body 8.

[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the furnace body 1 is equipped with a silicon controlled rectifier power regulator. The heating element of the furnace body 1 is a MoSi2 U-shaped rod. The aluminum silicate fiber board 4 and the mullite crystal fiber brick 5 are processed and formed by the mold 9. The laying is calibrated by measuring tape. The bottom of the furnace body 8 is equipped with a pre-installation platform 2. Before installation, the furnace body 8 is simulated and stacked through the pre-installation platform 2. After correcting the stepped seams, it is installed into the furnace body 1 as a whole. The protective gas of the muffle tube in the furnace body 8 is nitrogen. The furnace body 8 is equipped with a temperature monitoring thermocouple 10 and a conventional high temperature thermocouple 11. The thickness of the nanoplate 3 is 10mm. The dimensions of the furnace body 1 are 5020mm×1145mm×1690mm.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power regulator is installed on the furnace body 1 to precisely control the furnace temperature and ensure temperature stability during heat treatment. The heating element of the furnace body 1 is a MoSi2 U-shaped rod, which can work stably at high temperatures and is suitable for continuous operation at 1250℃, meeting the heat treatment requirements of high-precision, high-strength band saw blades. Alumina silicate fiberboard 4 and mullite crystal fiber bricks 5 are used as insulation layer materials, processed and shaped by mold 9 to ensure the accuracy of shape and size. During laying, a measuring ruler is used for calibration to ensure the flatness and tightness of the laying, thereby improving the insulation effect. A pre-installation platform 2 is provided at the bottom of the furnace body 8 for simulated stacking before installation. Through the pre-installation platform 2, the furnace body can be... The stepped seams of module 8 are corrected to ensure the entire plane is straight and the seams are tightly joined. Then, the whole module is installed into furnace body 1. The furnace body 8 is equipped with a muffle tube for introducing nitrogen as a protective gas to prevent the saw blade from oxidizing at high temperatures and to maintain surface quality. The furnace body 8 is equipped with a temperature monitoring thermocouple 10 and a conventional high-temperature thermocouple 11 for real-time monitoring of the furnace temperature to avoid local overheating and damage to the muffle tube due to excessively rapid heating and to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The nanoplate 3 serves as a radiation shielding layer with a thickness of 10mm. It has excellent radiation shielding performance and can effectively reflect heat in the furnace to reduce energy consumption. The overall dimensions of furnace body 1 are 5020mm×1145mm×1690mm, which is suitable for continuous production and large-scale processing of band saw blades.

[0030] It should be noted that, depending on the width of the saw blade (20-30mm, 40-50mm, 60-100mm), the travel speed should be adjusted to 2.0 M / min, 1.5 M / min, and 0.8 M / min respectively, to ensure that saw blades of different widths achieve a uniform heat treatment effect in furnace 1. After heat treatment, slow cooling or controlled cooling rate should be selected according to the material properties to avoid internal stress or deformation of the saw blade.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] Step 1: The furnace body 8 is the core part of the quenching furnace, used for heat treatment of the band saw blade. It consists of a radiation shielding layer, a heat insulation layer, and a working layer arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The radiation shielding layer is made of nano-board 3 with a thickness of 10mm, which has excellent radiation shielding performance, effectively reflects heat inside the furnace, reduces energy consumption, and improves the working environment temperature outside the furnace. The heat insulation layer is adjacent to the inner side of the radiation shielding layer and is made of aluminum silicate fiber board 4 and mullite crystal fiber brick 5 laid sequentially. Aluminum silicate fiber board 4 has good heat insulation performance, and mullite crystal fiber brick 5 further enhances the heat insulation effect, ensuring the stability of the furnace temperature. The working layer is in direct contact with the atmosphere inside the furnace body and the saw blade. It is laid with high-alumina shaped refractory brick 6 and high-alumina lightweight heat-insulating refractory brick 7, which can withstand high-temperature environments and ensure the durability of the furnace body and the heat treatment effect.

[0033] Step Two: The heating element of furnace body 1 is a MoSi2 U-shaped rod, which can work stably at high temperatures and is suitable for continuous operation at 1250℃, meeting the heat treatment requirements of high-precision, high-strength band saw blades. A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power regulator is installed on furnace body 1 to precisely control the furnace temperature and ensure temperature stability during heat treatment. A pre-installation platform 2 is provided at the bottom of the furnace chamber body 8. Before installation, the blades are simulated and stacked on the pre-installation platform 2. After correcting the stepped seams, the entire assembly is installed into furnace body 1, ensuring a straight plane and tight joints. A muffle tube is installed inside the furnace chamber body 8 to introduce nitrogen as a protective gas, preventing oxidation of the saw blade at high temperatures and maintaining surface quality. A temperature monitoring thermocouple 10 and a conventional high-temperature thermocouple 11 are installed inside the furnace chamber body 8 to monitor the furnace temperature in real time, preventing excessively rapid heating that could cause localized overheating and damage to the muffle tube, ensuring safe operation of the equipment. The travel speed is adjusted to 2.0 according to the saw blade widths of 20-30mm, 40-50mm, and 60-100mm respectively. The speeds are 1.5 M / min and 0.8 M / min to ensure that saw blades of different widths achieve a uniform heat treatment effect in the furnace. After heat treatment, slow cooling or controlled cooling rate should be selected according to the material properties to avoid internal stress or deformation of the saw blade.
