[0034] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0035] 1. The system of this application no longer uses time or cycle time for production. Instead, it achieves production through signal transmission between the heating device and the transfer device. Specifically, the temperature of the heating device is detected by a temperature detector, and the obtained temperature is fed back to the heat treatment controller for judgment. The heat treatment controller then adjusts the heating method, allowing the heating element to be heated in different ways and better controlling temperature changes. After receiving the signal, the transfer device can transfer the workpiece from the heating device to the quenching device. This ensures that quenching is performed only when the preheating temperature is reached, solving the problem of proceeding to the next process before the required temperature is reached. This achieves effective temperature control, ensures process temperature control during heat treatment, and thus improves the quality of workpiece processing.

[0036] 2. The method of this application determines the workpiece heating process by setting a preheating time, determines the final temperature of the workpiece by setting the preheating temperature, and determines the lower limit value by setting a suppression temperature range to ensure the basis for judging the execution process. By comparing the detected actual temperature with the lower limit value of the suppression temperature range, the heating method of the workpiece can be adjusted. Heating is initially performed at a first heating rate. If the actual temperature does not reach the lower limit value, it indicates that the first stage of the heating process has not reached the required heating temperature according to the time or cycle. Heating continues to ensure that the temperature rises close to the preheating temperature. When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value, the heating process is considered complete. At the end of the first heating rate stage, the second heating rate is used for heating, and the workpiece continues to slowly follow the heating device 110 to increase its temperature until the workpiece temperature reaches the preheating temperature. Then, the heating device 110 is turned on to proceed to the next process. Because the above-mentioned temperature detection and trigger temperature control adjustment method is added to the original time or cycle heat treatment process, the various process heating parameters are controlled and adjustable, ensuring that the heating temperature reaches the predetermined temperature and that the temperature in the second stage of the heating process can be maintained for a sufficient time. This achieves effective heat treatment temperature control, improves temperature reliability, and allows for more precise control of the workpiece temperature to meet the process requirements of heat treatment, thereby improving the quality of workpiece processing.

[0037] 3、the method of the application, by placing the workpiece in the low-temperature heating device, heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, so that the workpiece can be heated to the set first heating temperature, and then quenched; by placing the workpiece in the medium-temperature heating device, heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, so that the workpiece can be heated to the set second heating temperature, and then quenched; by placing the workpiece in the high-temperature heating device, heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, so that the workpiece can be heated to the set third heating temperature, and then quenched or annealed. Through the above three heating processes, the entire heat treatment process of the workpiece can be divided into three processes with a sequence, human factors can be eliminated, the uncertainty of manual operation can be avoided, the test parameters can be controlled and adjusted, the reliability of test data can be improved, and the processes can be coordinated to ensure that the heat treatment of the workpiece meets the production requirements.

[0038] 4、the readable storage medium of the application, through the computer program, the heat treatment method can be executed, and the heating of the workpiece and the heating mode adjustment, and the action control of the transfer device can be completed in the heat treatment process.

The quenching tank has a cuboid structure and is in the form of a tank as a whole. The quenching tank is internally provided with a temperature sensor, an agitator shaft and an electric resistance wire. The temperature sensor is arranged in the interior of the quenching tank. A fixed motor is mounted on the tank wall. The agitator shaft is, for example, the output part of a blender. The agitator shaft is connected with the output end of the motor, for example, by a key connection. In this way, the quenching tank can be stirred.

[0051] The heating device 110 is used for heating the workpiece, and can adopt a heating furnace, a heating box or other heating equipment. The heating device 110 is spaced apart from the quenching device 120. After the workpiece is heated, the workpiece needs to be taken out of the heating device 110 and then placed into the quenching device 120. The heating device 110 is provided with a temperature detector and a heating element. The heating element is used for heating the workpiece. The heating element adopts a heating wire such as a resistance wire. The heating element can be electrically connected to work externally. The corresponding heating cavities are heated by the heating wire. The opening of the heating box is provided with a door. The door is connected with a lifting mechanism such as an electric cylinder. The opening and closing of the door can be adjusted by the electric cylinder. For example, the edge of the door is fixed with the output end of the electric cylinder through a screw. The electric cylinder can adjust the opening and closing state of the door relative to the heating box through the telescopic mode of the output end, so as to complete the opening and closing operation and realize the rapid opening of the door. The temperature detector adopts a temperature sensor or other devices capable of detecting temperature such as an electronic thermometer. The temperature detector is arranged in the heating device 110. The temperature detector is used for detecting the temperature of the workpiece in the heating device 110 and feeding back the actual temperature data to a heat treatment controller. The heat treatment controller is a program for executing temperature control in the terminal. The heating mode of the heating element can be adjusted by adjusting the current. The heat treatment controller is used for adjusting the heating mode of the heating element. The heating mode such as the existing heating furnace or heating box can adjust the heating rate, heating time, temperature limit of heating and the like. For example, the temperature in the heating device 110 is raised at a set temperature rising rate. The temperature in the heating device 110 is maintained within a certain range.

[0052] The transfer device 130 is used for receiving the signal of the heat treatment controller. After the detected temperature of the workpiece reaches the set preheating temperature, the workpiece is transferred from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120. The transfer device 130 automatically operates. The transfer device 130 is provided with an automatic operation program. After receiving the signal of the opening of the heating device 110, the workpiece is taken out of the heating cavity of the heating device 110 and transferred to the quenching device 120. The transfer device 130 can adopt a mechanical hand or other equipment capable of performing taking and placing operations. The mechanical hand can grasp or release the workpiece. The running track of the mechanical hand after grasping the workpiece is from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120. Through the transfer device 130, the automatic transfer operation from the low-temperature heating device 111 to the quenching device 120, from the medium-temperature heating device 112 to the quenching device 120 or from the high-temperature heating device 113 to the quenching device 120 can be realized.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 2, the prior art heat treatment system, mostly with time control to produce, but after heating process is executed according to time, often appear temperature does not reach requirement and enters next process, influence heat treatment temperature control and effect.But the application no longer uses time or rhythm to produce, but is realized through signal transmission between heating device 110 and transfer device 130.Specifically, the temperature of heating device 110 is detected by temperature detector, and the temperature obtained is fed back to heat treatment controller for judgment, so that the heating mode is adjusted by heat treatment controller, so that the heating piece can be heated in different ways, and the temperature change can be better regulated, and the transfer device 130 can transfer the workpiece from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120 after receiving the signal, so that quenching is carried out when the temperature reaches the preheating temperature, solving the problem that the temperature does not reach the requirement to enter the next process, realizing effective temperature control, ensuring the process temperature control of heat treatment process, and improving the workpiece processing quality.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, when the heat treatment controller adjusts the heating mode of the heating piece, the heating device 110 maintains the set heating rate to heat and keeps the temperature in a certain temperature range, and the heat treatment controller can select the heating mode by detecting the temperature inside the heating device 110 or the temperature of the workpiece, so as to regulate the temperature change, specifically:

[0055] The heating piece enters the preheating working section under the control of the heat treatment controller, and starts timing, the starting point of the preheating working section is the timing zero point, the preheating working section heats the workpiece, and the heating rate of the heating device 110 can be set when heating, so that the workpiece temperature rises at a certain rate;Before this process, the parameters of the heating device 110 can be set, such as setting the preheating time, the preheating temperature, and the inhibition temperature interval, and then starting the heating device 110 to heat the workpiece.Then the temperature of the workpiece is detected, and when the actual temperature T i of the workpiece reaches the set preheating time t0, the actual temperature T i of the workpiece is detected. min The actual temperature T i is compared with the lower limit value T min of the set inhibition temperature interval; if T i is less than T min , the heating piece continues to heat, and the heating mode at this time is that the heating device 110 heats at a first heating rate; if T i is greater than or equal to T iequal to T, the heating stops, in actual process, there may be time difference in detection, as long as the first time detects T i equal to T, the heating stops, in actual process, there may be time difference in detection, as long as the first time detects T

[0056] In optional embodiments, the heating device 110 is also provided with an input interface, or the heat treatment controller can receive terminal input data, such as inputting corresponding data through an input box on the touch screen interface, so as to set the preheating time, the preheating temperature, the suppression temperature interval and the suppression value. The preheating time refers to the time for the heating device 110 to heat the workpiece to the preheating temperature. The workpiece is heated in a time and beat control mode, and the preheating time is also used for control. In fact, the time for the workpiece temperature to continue to heat to the set preheating temperature is longer than the preheating time in FIG. 2, and is in an arc bending state on the temperature-time line. When the workpiece is heated to a temperature close to the preheating temperature, the temperature rising rate decreases. After the preheating time and the preheating temperature are set, the initial temperature rising rate is determined. Before the temperature rising rate decreases when the temperature rising rate approaches the preheating temperature, the preheating temperature is the optimal process temperature under the quality requirement of the workpiece. The preheating temperature can ensure that the process requirement is met. Through the suppression temperature interval, the holding temperature of the final workpiece can be maintained in the range of the suppression temperature interval. The suppression value is a temperature setting value for preventing the workpiece temperature from rising too fast or even exceeding the preheating temperature. Through the suppression value, a program for suppressing the temperature rise of the workpiece in advance can be added to the heat treatment controller, so that the workpiece can slowly rise to the preheating temperature.

[0057] In optional embodiments, the set suppression temperature interval is [T min , T max ], the lower limit value T min of the set suppression temperature interval is T-ΔT, and the upper limit value T max of the set suppression temperature interval is T+ΔT, wherein ΔT is the set suppression value. In actual operation, the parameters of the heating device 110 are set first, and the suppression value, the preheating time and the preheating temperature are set. The suppression value is the temperature entering the holding work section, which is less than and close to the preheating temperature. The suppression temperature interval is the holding interval with the above lower limit value as the lower limit, and the upper limit value can also be determined. In optional embodiments, the temperature of the workpiece is continuously detected by the temperature detector. When T i is greater than or equal to the set preheating temperature T, the heat treatment controller sends a signal to the transfer device 130 to make the transfer device 130 take out the workpiece from the heating device 110 and transfer it to the quenching device 120, such as sending a signal to the manipulator to operate according to the pre-set path of the manipulator to take out the workpiece and place it into the quenching device 120.

For example, the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113 respectively adopt a heating box. Through the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113, the workpiece can be heated at three different temperatures, and the heat treatment process is divided into three stages, which can strengthen the temperature control of each process stage.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the heat treatment system 100 further comprises an air cooling device 140 arranged beside the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 or the high-temperature heating device 113, which is used to cool the workpiece after a certain heating process is completed. For example, the air cooling device 140 is fixed beside the quenching device 120, and the air cooling device 140 adopts a fan, which can also adopt other cooling devices, the fan can adopt a variable frequency fan, which can adjust the continuous cooling rate of the workpiece through the variable frequency working mode, and a temperature detector such as an electronic thermometer is arranged at the air cooling device 140, which can detect the cooling of the workpiece, so as to form a cooling speed curve for analysis and research.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the heating range of the low-temperature heating device 111 for the workpiece is [20℃, 650℃], and the temperature uniformity of the low-temperature heating device 111 is less than or equal to ±5℃; the heating range of the medium-temperature heating device 112 for the workpiece is [400℃, 850℃], and the temperature uniformity of the medium-temperature heating device 112 is less than or equal to ±6℃; the heating range of the high-temperature heating device 113 for the workpiece is (850℃, 1400℃], and the temperature uniformity of the high-temperature heating device 113 is less than or equal to ±7℃; through the arrangement of the three different temperature heating devices 110, the workpiece can be heated at three different temperature gradients, and the temperature can be more accurately adjusted.

[0063] In the second aspect of the present application, a heat treatment method is provided, which adopts the heat treatment system 100 described above, and the heat treatment method comprises heating the workpiece and quenching after the heating is completed, and specifically comprises:

[0064] The heat treatment controller controls the heating element to heat the workpiece at a first heating rate and starts timing. The preheating stage begins when the timing reaches zero. The temperature of the workpiece is monitored by a temperature detector, and the actual temperature T of the workpiece is detected after the set preheating time t0 is reached. i The detected actual temperature is fed back to the heat treatment controller, which then compares the temperatures. Specifically, the T... i The lower limit T of the set suppression temperature range min Compare: If T i Less than T min Continue heating the workpiece; if T i Greater than or equal to T min Then, the heating element is controlled by the heat treatment controller to heat the workpiece at a second heating rate, and the actual temperature T of the workpiece is continuously monitored. i Where T is greater than T min The first heating rate is greater than the second heating rate, and the first and second heating rates gradually decrease over time.

[0065] When T i When the temperature reaches T, the actual temperature is detected to have reached the preheating temperature, and the next process can proceed. The heat treatment controller sends a signal to the controller of the heating device 110 or the controller of the door, and then automatically opens the door of the heating device 110. At the same time, the signal is also transmitted to the transfer device 130. The heat treatment controller controls the transfer device 130 to take out the workpiece and then place the workpiece into the quenching device 120 for quenching. Alternatively, the robotic arm can first reach into the heating device 110, grab the workpiece, and then take it out and place it into the quenching device 120. The entire motion path is preset to ensure that the robotic arm can operate smoothly. Alternatively, the workpiece can be manually placed into the quenching device 120 when it is taken out.

[0066] Through the above steps, precise control of the workpiece temperature can be achieved. Based on the heat treatment controller heating according to the preheating time, a temperature control mode is added, automatically enabling the heat treatment controller to suppress the temperature rise of the adjusted temperature. The temperature control mode is executed according to S2 above, which is equivalent to adding a temperature rise suppression adjustment function and a temperature suppression range window to the heat treatment controller. When the temperature in the heating device 110 reaches the lower limit of the preheating temperature range, the heat treatment controller executes the above temperature adjustment mode. When the heat treatment controller reaches the actual temperature judgment, it mainly considers whether the actual temperature has reached the preheating temperature. If the trigger condition is not met, no signal is sent to the transfer device 130. This ensures precise coordination between the heating device 110 and the transfer device 130, avoiding errors. For example, if steps S1-S3 are used to perform high-temperature sintering of a solid electrolyte, the heating process is: heating at 3℃ / min to 1200℃, holding for 16 hours, and then cooling to 150℃.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2, due to the prior art heat treatment system 100, has begun to use automated heat treatment, automatically process, first heating and then holding and finally cooling, generally by time or beat, to trigger the automatic program start, as shown in a program set temperature with time temperature control chart, d is the theoretical temperature holding time interval. The problem of such control is that when the need to control the heating or cooling stage, such as using time to control, need to estimate the time, can not be accurate control, process completion temperature does not meet the requirements. Such as will appear in the specified time, the furnace temperature does not reach the set value, heating furnace will continue to workpiece heating in the next process stage, then the time required for the next process stage is accordingly shortened, does not meet the actual set holding time, so, in the automatic program, will appear temperature does not meet the process requirements and mis trigger the next process.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 3, b is the actual temperature of the workpiece in the heating device 110 with time, c is the time point of the workpiece into temperature holding, also for the intersection point of the actual temperature reaching the preheating temperature-inhibition value in this application, d is the inhibition temperature interval, e is the theoretical temperature holding time interval, f is the actual temperature holding time interval of the workpiece in this application, time 1 preheating time, time 2 is the time when the workpiece needs to be taken out for the next process. The application determines the heating process of the workpiece by setting the preheating time, determines the final temperature of the workpiece by setting the preheating temperature, and determines the lower limit value by setting the inhibition temperature interval, ensures the basis for judging the execution process, and adjusts the heating mode of the workpiece by comparing the detected actual temperature with the lower limit value of the inhibition temperature interval, first heats at a first heating rate, and when the actual temperature does not reach the lower limit value, it indicates that the first stage of the heating process does not reach the required heating temperature by time or beat, and the workpiece is heated to ensure that the temperature can be raised close to the preheating temperature. When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value, it indicates that the first heating rate stage of the heating process is over, and the workpiece is heated at a second heating rate at this time, and the workpiece is continued to be slowly heated with the heating device 110 until the workpiece temperature reaches the preheating temperature, and then the heating device 110 is opened for the next process. Because the above temperature detection and trigger temperature control adjustment mode is added to the original time or beat heat treatment process, the process heating parameters are controlled and adjusted, the heating temperature reaches the predetermined temperature, the second stage temperature of the heating process can be maintained for a sufficient time requirement, effective heat treatment temperature control is realized, the temperature reliability can be improved, the workpiece temperature can be more accurately controlled to meet the process requirements of heat treatment, and the workpiece processing quality is improved.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the temperature of the workpiece is detected by the temperature detector. The detection can be performed at a fixed time, in real time, or in real time after the preheating time is reached. The actual temperature is fed back to the heat treatment controller. The heat treatment controller works to compare the actual temperature with the preheating temperature. Specifically, the actual temperature is compared with the lower limit value of the suppression temperature range. When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value of the suppression temperature range, the heat treatment controller controls the heating member to heat in a holding mode. The temperature in the heating device 110 is maintained in the suppression temperature range by the heating member. The suppression temperature range is the interval value above and below the preheating temperature. The above temperature is maintained to slowly raise the temperature of the workpiece to the preheating temperature. When the temperature detector detects that the temperature of the workpiece reaches the preheating temperature, an opening signal of the heating device 110 is triggered. The door of the heating device 110 is automatically opened, and the workpiece of the next process is prepared.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the workpiece is heated at a second heating rate, which includes: placing the workpiece in a holding environment, and the temperature range of the holding environment is [T min ,T max ]. Before the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value of the preheating temperature range, the heating device 110 heats the workpiece to increase the temperature, i.e., the heat treatment controller sends a heating signal, and the heating member performs a heating operation. The above lower limit value T min = T-ΔT. After the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value of the preheating temperature range, the heating device 110 holds the workpiece, i.e., the heat treatment controller sends a holding signal, and the heating member performs a holding operation. The above heating and holding are the conventional temperature control modes of the heating member. The implementation of the above process is to first set a suppression value to determine a temperature value before approaching the preheating temperature. The preheating temperature minus the suppression value is the lower limit value of the suppression temperature range. According to the holding mode, the upper limit value of the suppression temperature range is the preheating temperature plus the suppression value, T max = T+ΔT, where ΔT is the set suppression value. The entry into the holding work section is to increase the suppression value in the temperature rise. After the temperature of the workpiece rises, the final value of the temperature rise is limited. The heating member can only heat the temperature in the heating device 110 to the vicinity of the preheating temperature. The final heating temperature range of the heating device 110 is [preheating temperature-suppression value, preheating temperature+suppression value]. In an optional embodiment, after the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value of the suppression temperature range, the heat treatment controller judges whether the actual temperature is equal to the preheating temperature, i.e., the program of the heat treatment controller is executed to the later section. The actual temperature of the workpiece approaches the preheating temperature. The actual temperature is compared with the preheating temperature. If they are equal, an opening signal of the heating device 110 is triggered. Then, the workpiece is taken out and the quenching process is performed.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, when the workpiece is quenched by the quenching device 120, the quenching medium in the quenching device 120 is compensated and heated, the temperature of the compensation and heating is less than or equal to 150℃, so that the temperature rise of the workpiece is less than or equal to 15℃, and the quenching device 120 can adopt a quenching tank. The quenching tank is a cuboid structure, and the whole is in the form of a tank. It is internally provided with a temperature sensor, an agitator shaft, a heating wire, and can adjust the liquid level. The effective capacity of the quenching tank is 1-1.5m³. The temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the quenching tank. The agitator shaft is like the output part of a blender. The water or oil in the quenching tank is stirred by the agitator shaft to avoid local overheating. The quenching tank is heated by the heating wire to realize temperature compensation. The above-mentioned compensation heating mode includes two modes. One is that the heating wire used for compensation heating belongs to the quenching device 120. The heating wire is in the quenching medium, and the end thereof is fixed to the inner wall of the quenching device 120, such as clamping and fixing, or other conventional fixing modes. The water or oil is heated by the heating wire, and then the temperature of the water or oil is used to assist the temperature rise of the workpiece. The other is an external heating mode. The heating device used for auxiliary heating is independent of the quenching device 120. The heating device is an existing electric heating element, such as an electric heating rod, an electric heating tube, etc. The heating device is only needed to be placed in the water tank or oil tank for quenching. The water or oil is heated by the external heating device, and then the workpiece is indirectly compensated and heated.
