Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cryogenic heat treatment equipment, specifically a cryogenic heat cycle treatment device for remanufacturing workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] Remanufacturing is the process of repairing or reprocessing old parts to restore or improve their performance. Laser cladding technology, as an advanced surface modification technology, has significant application value in engineering. In recent years, breakthroughs have been made in domestic high-power laser technology, and laser cladding processes and powder preparation technologies have been continuously optimized. Domestic research institutions and remanufacturing companies are gradually exploring the use of laser cladding technology to enhance the wear resistance of key components. This technology uses a laser as a heat source to melt the filler material and the substrate surface together, forming a cladding layer that is metallurgically bonded to the substrate. This can significantly improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance of the substrate surface, and has advantages such as high energy density, fast heating speed, minimal thermal impact on the substrate, and high bonding strength with the substrate. It is applicable to multiple industries such as aerospace, energy, and transportation.

[0003] However, laser cladding technology has its shortcomings. The rapid heating and cooling during the cladding process can easily create large temperature gradients, generating high residual stress. This leads to cracking of the cladding layer and uneven microstructure, posing a risk of cladding layer detachment and fracture during the service life of remanufactured workpieces. Therefore, deep cryogenic heat treatment is necessary to further regulate and modify the workpieces before and after laser cladding. This aims to reduce internal residual stress, adjust phase ratios, improve structural and dimensional stability, reduce crack formation, optimize the microstructure of the cladding layer, refine grain size, enhance metallurgical bonding strength, reduce the risk of spalling, ensure service performance, and strengthen mechanical properties.

[0004] In the prior art, the cryogenic heat treatment device disclosed in patent publication number CN 113621901 B uses a unidirectional channel to transfer and cryogenically heat treat the workpiece, but it cannot achieve cryogenic heat cycle treatment or complete the coordinated operation of various modules. The laser cladding manufacturing device disclosed in patent publication number CN 116121746 B, which can be modified by rolling and cryogenic heat treatment, can meet multiple modification functions through multiple process combinations, solving the problems of dispersed layout, cumbersome structure and single function of laser cladding modification equipment. However, when cryogenically heat treating ring-shaped workpieces, the cryogenic heat treatment module is prone to interference with the manufacturing module, causing equipment damage.

[0010] The present invention describes a cryogenic thermal cycling treatment device for remanufacturing workpieces, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an outer frame base module 1, in which a heat treatment module 3, a quenching treatment module 4, a cryogenic treatment module 5, and a workpiece transfer module 2 are installed. The workpiece transfer module 2 can transfer workpieces between the heat treatment module 3, the quenching treatment module 4, and the cryogenic treatment module 5, and can simultaneously realize the synchronous and rapid transfer of multiple remanufactured workpieces and cryogenic thermal cycle modification and control treatment, thereby improving processing efficiency and equipment utilization.

[0011] The outer frame base module 1 includes a base 108 and an upper cover plate 102 arranged side by side. Several vertically arranged support columns 105 are installed between the base 108 and the upper cover plate 102. A placement platform 103 and a retrieval platform 104 are respectively installed on the inner side of the support columns 105. The multiple sets of support columns 105 are vertically and circumferentially arranged between the upper cover plate 102 and the base 108. The placement platform 103 and the retrieval platform 104 are horizontally installed on the support columns 105. The placement platform 103 is used to place the workpiece to be processed, so that the workpiece transfer module 2 can pick up the workpiece for cold and heat treatment. The retrieval platform 104 is used to collect the workpiece after cold and heat treatment, so that the workpiece transfer module 2 can place the workpiece after cold and heat treatment. At the same time, the workpiece transfer module 2 is fixedly installed on the base 108 to realize the transfer processing of the workpiece.

[0012] A host computer 106 is installed on the upper cover plate 102. The heat treatment module 3, quenching module 4, and cryogenic treatment module 5 are all connected to the host computer 106 through control lines. The coordinated operation of the workpiece transfer module 2, heat treatment module 3, quenching module 4, and cryogenic treatment module 5 is realized through the control commands of the host computer 106.

[0013] The workpiece transfer module 2 includes several multi-stage telescopic rods 211 capable of vertical lifting and rotation. The vertical lifting of the multi-stage telescopic rods 211 can be achieved by existing lifting motors or electric push rods, while the rotation can be achieved by existing rotary motors or slewing bearings. Each end of the multi-stage telescopic rods 211 is equipped with a detachable clamping base 212, which can reciprocate between the heat treatment module 3, the quenching treatment module 4, the cryogenic treatment module 5, the placement platform 103, and the unloading platform 104.

[0014] A rotatable clamping buckle 217 is hinged to one side of the clamping base 212, and a locking block 213 is provided on the other side of the clamping base 212 to fix the clamping buckle 217. A flexible band 216 is installed inside the clamping buckle 217. Several miniature cylinders 214 are installed inside the clamping base 212. A miniature cylinder piston rod 215 is installed in the cylinder of each miniature cylinder 214. An elastic pressure head 218 is provided at the end of the miniature cylinder piston rod 215 that extends out of the cylinder. When the clamping buckle 217 is fixed on the clamping base 212, the elastic pressure head 218 and the flexible band 216 can position and clamp the workpiece.

[0015] The multi-stage telescopic rod 211 is detachably connected to the clamping base 212, which facilitates the gripping and transfer of workpieces 219 of different sizes. The micro cylinder 214 is vertically installed on the upper surface of the clamping base 212 and is connected to the micro cylinder piston rod 215. The top end of the micro cylinder piston rod 215 is provided with an elastic pressure head 218. The locking block 213 is located on the top of one side of the clamping base 212. The clamping buckle 217 is hinged to the clamping base 212. The two ends of the flexible belt 216 are respectively installed on the two ends of the clamping buckle 217 and kept taut. The workpiece 219 is fixed during the gripping and transfer process through the folding and rotation of the clamping buckle 217, the frictional tension of the flexible belt 216, the lifting and squeezing of the elastic pressure head 218, and the locking cooperation of the locking block 213.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper cover plate 102 may also be provided with a connecting rod 107. The heat treatment module 3, the quenching treatment module 4 and the cryogenic treatment module 5 are all installed on the upper cover plate 102 through the connecting rod 107. A rotatable handle 101 is installed on the upper cover plate 102. The handle 101 facilitates the transfer and carrying of the device. At the same time, the handle 101 can be rotated and folded into the groove on the upper part of the upper cover plate 102 to reduce the overall size of the device.

[0017] Furthermore, to facilitate the transfer of the entire device, a hinged leg 109 can be installed at the bottom of the base 108. The bottom of the base 108 has an embedded groove that mates with the hinged leg 109. A caster wheel 111 is installed at the bottom of the hinged leg 109 via a buffer spring 110, which facilitates the transfer of the device. The hinged leg 109 can be rotated and folded so that the hinged leg 109, the buffer spring 110, and the caster wheel 111 can be inserted into the groove at the bottom of the base 108, thereby reducing the volume of the entire device in the non-moving state.

[0018] Furthermore, in order to drive the lifting and rotation of the multi-stage telescopic rod 211, the workpiece transfer module 2 also includes a servo motor 201 and a reversing seat 206 mounted on the base 108. A planetary gear reducer 202 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the servo motor 201. The transmission shaft 203 of the planetary gear reducer 202 is connected to the input shaft 205 of the reversing seat 206 through an elastic coupling 204. A hydraulic column 208 is mounted on the output shaft 207 of the reversing seat 206. A spline 209 is provided on the piston rod of the hydraulic column 208. A spline groove that mates with the spline 209 is provided on the multi-stage telescopic rod 211. A locking nut 210 is also installed at the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic column 208. The locking nut 210 presses the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 against the hydraulic column 208. When the servo motor 201 is started, it can drive the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 to rotate. The hydraulic column 208 can drive the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 to lift vertically.

[0019] The servo motor 201 is connected to the planetary gear reducer 202 via a rotating shaft. The transmission shaft 203 outputs power to the input shaft 205 via a flexible coupling 204. The input shaft 205 and the output shaft 207 are connected via a reversing seat 206. The output shaft 207 is connected to the hydraulic column 208, thereby realizing the rotation of the hydraulic column 208. The multi-stage telescopic rod 211 is fixedly mounted on the hydraulic column 208 by the pre-tightening of the locking nut 210. At the same time, the spline 209 enables the circumferential rotation of the multi-stage telescopic rod 211. In addition, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic column 208 enables the vertical lifting and lowering of the multi-stage telescopic rod 211. The reversing seat 206 can reverse the rotational power, thereby driving the horizontal rotation of the multi-stage telescopic rod 211. By reversing the rotational power, the overall height of the device can be effectively reduced.

An ultra-low temperature radar level gauge 501 and a third pressure sensor 506 are installed on the top of the third cavity 502. A liquid nitrogen overflow hole 507 and an ultra-low temperature probe 503 are located on the outer wall of the third cavity 502. A liquid nitrogen input pipe 508 and a liquid nitrogen output pipe 509, which communicate with the interior, are also installed on the third cavity 502.

[0027] The third chamber 502 has a thin-walled shell structure for storing cryogenic treatment experimental media. Liquid nitrogen inlet pipe 508 and liquid nitrogen outlet pipe 509 are arranged below the outer wall of the third chamber 502 to control the inflow and outflow of liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen overflow hole 507 is installed above the outer wall of the third chamber 502 to realize the overflow of liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic radar level gauge 501 and third pressure sensor 506 are installed on the upper surface of the third chamber 502 to realize real-time measurement and feedback of liquid level and pressure in the chamber. Cryogenic temperature probe 503 is set below the outer wall of the third chamber 502 for real-time measurement and feedback of liquid nitrogen temperature.

[0028] The cryogenic radar level gauge 501, cryogenic temperature probe 503, third pressure sensor 506, liquid nitrogen overflow hole 507, liquid nitrogen input pipe 508, and liquid nitrogen output pipe 509 are connected to the host computer 106. The measured liquid level height, temperature, and pressure data of the cryogenic radar level gauge 501, cryogenic temperature probe 503, and third pressure sensor 506 are fed back to the host computer 106 in real time. At the same time, the liquid nitrogen overflow hole 507, liquid nitrogen input pipe 508, and liquid nitrogen output pipe 509 can be controlled in real time through the control signals of the host computer 106, thereby realizing deep cryogenic treatment under the conditions of set pressure and liquid level height. The third telescopic frame 504 is vertically installed on the inner side below the outer wall of the third cavity 502. The bottom plate 505 of the third cavity is connected to the third telescopic frame 504. The vertical movement of the third telescopic frame 504 drives the vertical lifting and lowering of the bottom plate 505 of the third cavity. The third telescopic frame 504 and the bottom plate 505 of the third cavity are connected to the host computer 106. The lifting and fixing of the third telescopic frame 504 and the bottom plate 505 of the third cavity are realized through the control signal issued by the host computer 106. At the same time, the movement of the workpiece transfer module 2 is coordinated to realize the transfer and deep cryogenic treatment of the workpiece 219.

[0029] The steps for performing deep cryogenic thermal cycling treatment on the remanufactured workpiece 219 using this invention are as follows: First, the entire device is positioned appropriately using handle 101 and casters 111. Simultaneously, the remanufactured workpiece 219 to be processed is placed on the placement table 103. A suitable clamping base 212 is installed on the top of the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 according to the size of the remanufactured workpiece 219. Next, an external power supply is connected, and the specific parameters for cryogenic heat treatment are set via the host computer 106, such as mode selection, holding time, cycle time, heating and cooling rates, temperature setting, and processing quantity. Simultaneously, the host computer 106 outputs control signals to the servo motor 201 and hydraulic cylinder 208, thereby driving the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 to rotate and... The lifting and lowering mechanism, along with the frictional tensioning of the flexible straps 216 at both ends of the clamping buckle 217 hinged to the clamping base 212, the folding and rotation of the clamping buckle 217, the lifting and pressing of the elastic pressure head 218 at the top of the micro cylinder piston rod 215, and the locking engagement of the locking block 213, all contribute to the gripping and transfer of the remanufactured workpiece 219. Simultaneously, when the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 is about to reach the processing module, the host computer 106 outputs control signals to the first telescopic frame 309, the second telescopic frame 404, and the third telescopic frame 504, thereby driving the first cavity base plate 310, the second cavity base plate 405, and the third cavity base plate 504. After the vertical descent of workpiece 219, placed on the first cavity base plate 310, the second cavity base plate 405, and the third cavity base plate 505, the host computer 106 outputs a control signal to the servo motor 201, which in turn drives the multi-stage telescopic rod 211 to continue rotating and gradually move away from the processing module. At the same time, the host computer 106 outputs a control signal to the hydraulic column 208 to achieve lifting and resetting. After the workpiece transfer module 2 is reset, the host computer 106 outputs a control signal to the first telescopic frame 309, the second telescopic frame 404, and the third telescopic frame 504, which in turn drives the first cavity base plate 310, the second cavity base plate 405, and the third cavity base plate 505. The vertical rise of 505 achieves the closure and sealing of the interior of the first cavity 304, the second cavity 402, and the third cavity 502, preparing for deep cryogenic, hot, or quenching treatment of the workpiece 219. In conjunction with the rotation, lifting, gripping, and releasing of the workpiece transfer module 2, and the linkage of the heat treatment module 3, the quenching treatment module 4, and the deep cryogenic treatment module 5, the synchronous transfer and deep cryogenic heat cycle treatment of multiple remanufactured workpieces 219 are realized. Finally, the workpiece transfer module 2 transfers the processed remanufactured workpiece 219 and places it on the picking platform. After processing, each module is reset, the host computer is turned off, the power is disconnected, and the processed remanufactured workpiece 219 is taken out.

[0030] This utility model proposes a cryogenic thermal cycling treatment device for remanufactured workpieces. Through the vertical lifting and lowering of the hydraulic column in the workpiece transfer module, the radial extension and circumferential rotation of the multi-stage telescopic rod, the folding and rotation of the clamping buckle, the frictional tensioning of the flexible belt, the lifting and squeezing of the elastic pressure head at the top of the micro-cylinder piston rod, and the locking engagement of the locking block, multiple sets of remanufactured workpieces can be gripped and transferred simultaneously. Simultaneously, it links the heat treatment module, quenching module, and cryogenic treatment module, enabling the synchronous and rapid transfer and cryogenic thermal cycling modification and control treatment of multiple remanufactured workpieces, improving processing efficiency and equipment utilization. The top of the telescopic rod can be replaced with a suitable clamping base according to the size of the remanufactured workpiece, improving the applicability of the equipment; the handle and casters enable quick transfer of the device, making it simple, portable, and easy to transport; through the host computer, various processing modes (such as preheating treatment before remanufacturing, deep cryogenic cycle treatment after remanufacturing, heat treatment and deep cryogenic treatment, etc.) and process parameters (such as holding time, cycle period, heating and cooling rate, temperature setting and processing quantity, etc.) can be selected, providing a guarantee for better improvement of workpiece forming performance, surface quality and mechanical properties, with diverse processing effects and a wide range of applications.
