Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of inductors for induction heating quenching, specifically a small ball-and-socket quenching inductor. Background Technology

[0002] The ball joint plays a crucial role in a car's suspension system. It not only connects the suspension system to the steering mechanism but also transmits steering and damping forces. Through the rotation of the ball joint, the car can smoothly steer and absorb shocks, ensuring driving stability and safety. This core component of the suspension system consists of several precision parts working together. Among them, the ball pin, ball seat, ball housing, and ball cap each perform important functions. The ingenious design of these parts collectively ensures vehicle stability and driving comfort.

[0003] In the tie rod ball joint, the ball joint of the steering spindle is cleverly housed within the ball joint housing. This design allows the ball joint to be flexibly hinged to the edge of the spindle bore in the ball joint housing via the ball joint seat at its front end. Furthermore, the ball joint seat and the steering spindle are connected by needle rollers, which are cleverly embedded in grooves within the inner bore of the ball joint seat. This structure not only helps reduce wear on the ball joint but also significantly improves the tensile strength of the spindle.

[0004] The suspension ball joint plays a crucial role in the control arm. It not only provides stable support and connection but also allows for flexible rotation at multiple angles during steering. This design enables the steering mechanism to perform smooth steering operations while effectively reducing vibration.

[0005] Therefore, ball-and-socket parts should possess high hardness, strength, wear resistance, and a long service life, requiring quenching treatment. Induction hardening achieves high hardness, high strength, and a long service life while minimizing the core hardness, thus providing good toughness. Furthermore, the rapid heating of induction hardening reduces quenching deformation. However, commonly used induction hardening inductors can cause uneven heating, significant quenching deformation, and an increased risk of hardening through, affecting performance and leading to defective products. Moreover, due to the spherical shape of the heated area, this type of inductor is designed to ensure the part meets process requirements and reduce defects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, including a base fixedly installed with a machine tool, a busbar unit fixedly installed on the outer surface of the end of the base away from the machine tool, and a heating wire fixedly connected to the end of the busbar unit away from the base.

[0008] Preferably, the base includes a mounting plate, and a left support seat and a right support seat are fixedly mounted on the end of the mounting plate away from the machine tool.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the base can be quickly fixed to the machine tool by the mounting plate, and by setting the left support seat and the right support seat, support can be provided for different parts of the busbar unit, the force can be distributed, and the uneven force caused by single-point support of the busbar unit can be avoided, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the overall structure, reducing the loosening of parts caused by vibration during the quenching process, and ensuring the structural reliability during long-term use.

[0010] Preferably, an insulating spacer is provided between the left support and the right support, and the insulating spacer is made of alumina ceramic.

[0011] The above technical solution effectively blocks current conduction between the two supports by setting an insulating partition between the left and right supports, avoiding problems such as leakage and circuit disorder, ensuring operational safety and circuit stability. Furthermore, the insulating partition is made of alumina ceramic, which is resistant to high temperatures and wear, and can adapt to the high-temperature environment during quenching. It will not deform, age, or wear due to high temperatures, and will maintain its insulation effect and structural integrity for a long time, thus solving the problem that ordinary insulating materials are prone to failure at high temperatures.

[0012] Preferably, the manifold unit includes an inlet wire and an outlet wire. The end of the inlet wire closest to the machine tool is fixedly connected to a first manifold connector, and the end of the outlet wire closest to the machine tool is fixedly connected to a second manifold connector. A vertical inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the inlet wire away from the first manifold connector, and a vertical outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the outlet wire away from the second manifold connector.

[0013] The above technical solution incorporates a busbar unit, which facilitates the flow of cooling water, thereby removing the heat generated by the heating wires during the quenching process, preventing the heating wires from aging and softening due to high temperatures, and extending their service life.

[0014] Preferably, the liquid inlet wire is connected to the heating wire through a vertical liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet wire is connected to the heating wire through a vertical liquid outlet pipe.

[0015] The above technical solution forms a complete cooling water inlet and outlet passage by connecting the inlet wire to the heating wire via the vertical inlet pipe and the outlet wire to the heating wire via the vertical outlet pipe. The cooling water enters through the base, flows into the heating wire via the inlet wire and the vertical outlet pipe, then flows through the vertical outlet pipe to the outlet wire, and finally flows back to the base via the outlet wire.

[0016] Preferably, the heating wire has a semi-circular cross-section and is made of copper wire with a conformal shape.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, by setting the cross-section of the heating wire to a "semi-circular" structure, it can better fit with the arc-shaped inner wall of the small ball socket, increasing the effective heating contact area between the heating wire and the ball socket, making the surface of the ball socket more uniformly heated, avoiding the problems of local overheating or incomplete quenching, and improving the quenching quality. Furthermore, by setting the heating wire to be made of copper through a contouring process, copper has excellent electrical conductivity, which can reduce energy consumption and heat generation during current transmission and ensure heating efficiency. At the same time, copper has strong plasticity, and through contouring processing, it can accurately match the size of the small ball socket, adapting to the quenching requirements of ball sockets of different specifications. In addition, copper is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can maintain the shape and performance stability of the wire over a long period of time.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, which has the following advantages: 1. This small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, when cooling water is required, forms a complete cooling water inlet and outlet path by connecting the inlet wire to the heating wire through a vertical inlet pipe and the outlet wire to the heating wire through a vertical outlet pipe. The cooling water is collected through the base, flows into the heating wire through the inlet wire and the vertical outlet pipe, then flows through the vertical outlet pipe to the outlet wire, and finally flows back to the base, carrying away the heat generated by the heating wire during the quenching process, preventing the heating wire from aging and softening due to high temperature, and extending its service life. 2. In this small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, a high-frequency current is passed through the base 1 during quenching, and the heating wire 4 heats the spherical surface of the workpiece. This ensures uniform heating of the quenching area of ​​the workpiece, improves quenching quality, and increases the production qualification rate. By setting the cross-section of the heating wire to be semi-circular, it can better fit with the arc-shaped inner wall of the small ball socket, increasing the effective heating contact area between the heating wire and the ball socket, making the surface of the ball socket more uniformly heated, avoiding the problem of local overheating or incomplete quenching, and improving the quenching quality. 3. This small ball-and-socket quenching inductor is made of copper wire with a contoured design.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: As Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a small ball-and-socket quenching inductor, including a base 1 fixedly installed with a machine tool, a busbar unit 3 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the end of the base 1 away from the machine tool, and a heating wire 4 fixedly connected to the end of the busbar unit 3 away from the base 1.

[0023] Specifically, the base 1 includes a mounting plate 101, with a left support 102 and a right support 103 fixedly mounted on the end of the mounting plate 101 furthest from the machine tool. The advantages are that the base 1 can be quickly fixed to the machine tool via the mounting plate 101, and the left and right support seats 102 and 103 provide support for different parts of the busbar unit 3, distributing the force and preventing uneven force distribution caused by single-point support. This enhances the overall structural load-bearing capacity and stability, reduces component loosening due to vibration during quenching, and ensures structural reliability during long-term use.

[0024] Specifically, an insulating spacer 2 is provided between the left support 102 and the right support 103. The insulating spacer 2 is made of alumina ceramic. The advantage is that by providing the insulating spacer 2 between the left support 102 and the right support 103, the current conduction between the two supports can be effectively blocked, avoiding problems such as leakage and circuit disorder, ensuring operational safety and circuit stability. Furthermore, the use of alumina ceramic for the insulating spacer 2 is beneficial because alumina ceramic is high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant, can adapt to the high-temperature environment during quenching, and will not deform, age, or wear due to high temperatures, maintaining its insulation effect and structural integrity for a long time. This solves the problem of ordinary insulating materials easily failing at high temperatures.

[0025] Example 2: Figure 2-5 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0026] Specifically, the manifold unit 3 includes an inlet wire 301 and an outlet wire 302. The end of the inlet wire 301 closest to the machine tool is fixedly connected to a first manifold connector 303, and the end of the outlet wire 302 closest to the machine tool is fixedly connected to a second manifold connector 304. A vertical inlet pipe 305 is fixedly installed at the end of the inlet wire 301 furthest from the first manifold connector 303, and a vertical outlet pipe 306 is fixedly installed at the end of the outlet wire 302 furthest from the second manifold connector 304. The advantage is that the manifold unit 3 facilitates the flow of cooling water, thereby removing the heat generated by the heating wire 4 during the quenching process, preventing the heating wire 4 from aging and softening due to high temperatures, and extending its service life.

[0027] Specifically, the inlet wire 301 is connected to the heating wire 4 via the vertical inlet pipe 305, and the outlet wire 302 is connected to the heating wire 4 via the vertical outlet pipe 306. The advantage is that the connection between the inlet wire 301 and the heating wire 4 via the vertical inlet pipe 305, and the connection between the outlet wire 302 and the heating wire 4 via the vertical outlet pipe 306, forms a complete cooling water inlet and outlet pathway. Cooling water enters through the base 1, flows through the inlet wire 301 and through the vertical outlet pipe 306 into the heating wire 4, then flows through the vertical outlet pipe 306 to the outlet wire 302, and finally flows back to the base 1 from the outlet wire 302.

[0028] Specifically, the heating wire 4 has a semi-circular cross-section and is made of copper using a contoured wire processing technique. The advantages are that the semi-circular cross-section allows for better contact with the curved inner wall of the small ball socket, increasing the effective heating contact area and ensuring more uniform heating of the socket surface. This avoids localized overheating or incomplete quenching, improving quenching quality. Furthermore, the use of copper for the heating wire 4 provides excellent electrical conductivity, reducing energy consumption and heat generation during current transmission and ensuring heating efficiency. Copper also has high plasticity, allowing for precise matching of the small ball socket size through contoured processing, adapting to the quenching requirements of different specifications. Additionally, copper is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, maintaining the wire's shape and performance stability over a long period.

[0029] Working Principle: During use, the base 1 is quickly fixed to the machine tool via the mounting plate 101. The left support 102 and right support 103 provide support for different parts of the manifold unit 3, distributing the force and preventing uneven stress caused by single-point support. This enhances the overall structural load-bearing capacity and stability, reduces component loosening due to vibration during quenching, and ensures structural reliability during long-term use. When cooling water is required, the inlet wire 301 connects to the heating wire 4 via the vertical inlet pipe 305, and the outlet wire 302 connects to the heating wire 4 via the vertical outlet pipe 306, forming a complete cooling water inlet and outlet path. Cooling water enters through the base 1, flows through the inlet wire 301 and the vertical outlet pipe 306 into the heating wire 4, then flows through the vertical outlet pipe 306 to the outlet wire 302, and finally flows back to the base 1, carrying away the stress generated during quenching. The heat generated by the heating wire 4 prevents it from aging and softening due to high temperatures, thus extending its service life. During quenching, a high-frequency current is passed through the base 1, and the heating wire 4 heats the spherical surface of the workpiece, ensuring uniform heating of all quenching areas, improving quenching quality, and increasing the production qualification rate. By setting the cross-section of the heating wire 4 to a "semi-circular" structure, it can better fit the arc-shaped inner wall of the small spherical socket, increasing the effective heating contact area between the heating wire and the spherical socket, making the surface of the spherical socket more evenly heated, avoiding local overheating or incomplete quenching, and improving quenching quality. Furthermore, the heating wire 4 is made of copper through a contouring process. Copper has excellent conductivity, which can reduce energy consumption and heat generation during current transmission, ensuring heating efficiency. At the same time, copper has strong plasticity, and through contouring processing, it can accurately match the size of the small spherical socket, adapting to the quenching requirements of different specifications of spherical sockets. In addition, copper is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can maintain the shape and performance stability of the wire for a long time.
