Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Vertical tube furnaces are a common type of industrial heating equipment, mainly used for heat treatment, chemical reactions and other processes of materials. In the field of materials science, vertical tube furnaces are often used for titanium alloy transformation temperature testing, and temperature control is achieved based on resistance heating.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent for a vertical rapid quenching device for a high-temperature tubular furnace, publication number CN221051922U. The device includes a main body and a placement mechanism disposed inside the main body for placing the workpiece to be quenched. The main body includes a fixed outer shell.
[0004] The above-mentioned device, with its vertical fixed housing, can adapt to the quenching of workpieces of different lengths, keeping the workpieces stable during the quenching process. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder can cause the placement plate to immerse the workpieces in the quenching liquid, making it convenient to quench workpieces of different lengths, thereby improving the efficiency of workpiece quenching. However, the quenching process relies on manual temperature monitoring, timing, and quenching, which leads to time errors in timing and operation. Quenching delay affects the reliability of test results, and manual operation is inefficient and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision testing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, through the coordinated arrangement of an electromagnetic lifting plate, a quartz tube, a sealing block, a servo-driven electric telescopic rod, and the sample body, can automatically perform timely quenching.

[0016] 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.
[0017] Example 1 Combination Figures 1-3 An automatic timing and automatic quenching heat treatment device includes a workbench 1, an automatic control box installed at the rear of the top of the workbench 1, a resistance heating furnace body 2 located at the upper front of the automatic control box, and a quartz tube 3 located in the center of the interior of the resistance heating furnace body 2.
[0018] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, it is found that a temperature controller 4 and a temperature measuring instrument 5 are installed on one side of the control box. The top of the quartz tube 3 is connected to a sealing flange tube 6 via a flange 1. An electromagnetic lifting plate 7 is installed on the top of the sealing flange tube 6. The bottom of the quartz tube 3 is connected to a sealing flange tube 8 via a flange 2. A sealing groove is provided at the lower front end of the sealing flange tube 8, and a sealing block 9 is movably installed in the sealing groove. A servo electric telescopic rod 10 is installed at the rear side of the sealing flange tube 8. The end of the push rod of the servo electric telescopic rod 10 is connected to the sealing flange tube 9. A stainless steel water tank 11 is connected to one side of block 9, and is located at the top of workbench 1 and below quartz tube 3. The center points of stainless steel water tank 11 and quartz tube 3 are on the same vertical line. The capacity of stainless steel water tank 11 is thirty liters. A drain valve pipe 12 is connected to the lower part of the outer ring of stainless steel water tank 11. A lifting line 13 is set inside quartz tube 3 and below electromagnetic lifting plate 7. A magnetic block that is compatible with electromagnetic lifting plate 7 is connected to the top of lifting line 13. A sample body 14 is set at the bottom of lifting line 13.
[0019] Specifically, as needed, deionized water can be injected into the stainless steel water tank 11 installed at the bottom of the resistance heating furnace 2 as the quenching medium. The stainless steel water tank 11 has a capacity of 30 liters. Subsequently, the sample body 14 can be hung in the uniform temperature zone inside the quartz tube 3 via the hoisting line 13. At this time, the sample body 14 can be a 10mm×10mm×10mm TC4 titanium alloy sample. At the same time, the target heating temperature of the resistance heating furnace 2 is set to 880℃, and the holding time is 30 minutes. When the K-type load thermocouple in the thermometer 5 detects that the furnace temperature has reached 880℃, the time relay automatically starts timing. After 30 minutes, the servo-driven electric telescopic rod 10 is opened first, and after 0.5 seconds, the electromagnetic lifting plate 7 is de-energized to release the sample. At this time, the sample will fall into the stainless steel water tank 11 within 1.8 seconds, thus completing the quenching process. Subsequently, the differential scanning calorimetry method in the existing technology is used to detect the sample to complete the heat treatment test process. The time relay model can be a high-precision relay of model JSZ3-T with a timing accuracy of ±1s. The temperature controller 4 model is XMTD-808, and the K-type thermocouple in the temperature measuring instrument 5 can be a Siemens-K type thermocouple.
[0020] Example 2 See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, based on Example 1, the thermometer 5 has a K-type thermocouple, and the hot end of the K-type thermocouple is located inside the resistance heating furnace body 2. The automatic control box is equipped with a time relay that is electrically connected to the servo electric telescopic rod 10, the electromagnetic hoisting plate 7, the temperature controller 4, and the thermometer 5. The sealing block 9 is disc-shaped. A sealing ring is provided at the joint between the inner wall of the sealing flange tube 2 8 and the upper and lower ends of the sealing block 9. An air inlet pipe 15 is connected to the rear position of the outer ring of the sealing flange tube 1 6. An exhaust pipe 16 is provided at the lower position of the front end of the sealing flange tube 2 8.
[0021] Specifically, when performing heat treatment tests on 42CrMo alloy steel samples with dimensions of 10mm×10mm×50mm, the heating temperature can be set to 860℃ and the holding time adjusted to 20min. After the resistance heating furnace 2 is started, the temperature is monitored in real time by the thermocouple at the temperature measuring gauge 5. When the temperature reaches 860℃, the time relay starts timing. After the timing ends, the servo electric telescopic rod 10 and the electromagnetic lifting plate 7 can be activated according to the above steps to lower the sample. The sample will then be quenched within 2.1s. Rockwell hardness testing can be used afterward. When the data is qualified, the hardness value fluctuation range of the sample should be within ±3HRC.
[0022] In actual operation, the existing technology uses temperature controller 4 to regulate the furnace temperature, temperature meter 5 to monitor the temperature in real time, and gas to be injected and discharged through inlet pipe 15 and exhaust pipe 16. These steps will not be repeated here. The sample body 14 can be suspended in the uniform temperature zone of quartz tube 3 by electromagnetic lifting plate 7 at the top of quartz tube 3 and lifting line 13 in resistance heating furnace body 2. When the sample is kept at the set temperature for a specified time, the push rod of bottom servo electric telescopic rod 10 is triggered by time relay to extend, so as to drive the sealing block 9 away from the sealing flange tube 8, thereby removing the obstruction to the sample body 14. Then the lifting line 13 is released from the top electromagnetic lifting plate 7, so that the sample body 14 falls into stainless steel water tank 11 to complete the quenching operation. When conducting heat treatment tests on 10mm×10mm×10mm TC4 titanium alloy samples, deionized water can be injected into the stainless steel water tank 11 as a quenching medium as needed. The stainless steel water tank 11 has a capacity of 30 liters of water. Subsequently, the sample body 14 can be hung in the uniform temperature zone inside the quartz tube 3 via the hoisting line 13. The target temperature is set to 880℃ and the holding time is 30 minutes. When the K-type load thermocouple in the thermometer 5 detects that the furnace temperature reaches 880℃, the time relay automatically starts timing. After 30 minutes, the servo electric telescopic rod 10 is opened first, and 0.5 seconds later, the electromagnetic hoisting plate 7 is de-energized to release the sample. At this time, the sample will fall into the stainless steel water tank 11 within 1.8 seconds, thus completing the quenching process. Subsequently, the differential scanning calorimetry method in the existing technology is used for detection to complete the heat treatment test process. When performing heat treatment tests on 42CrMo alloy steel samples with dimensions of 10mm×10mm×50mm, the heating temperature can be set to 860℃ and the holding time adjusted to 20min. After the resistance heating furnace 2 is started, the temperature is monitored in real time by the thermocouple at the temperature measuring gauge 5. When the temperature reaches 860℃, the time relay starts timing. After the timing ends, the servo electric telescopic rod 10 and the electromagnetic lifting plate 7 can be activated according to the above steps to lower the sample. The sample will then be quenched within 2.1s. Rockwell hardness testing can be used afterward. When the data is qualified, the hardness value of the sample should fluctuate within ±3HRC. Furthermore, the display and control components and modules used in the aforementioned automatic control components are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field and needs no further explanation. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software.
[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
