Definitions
- the invention relates to a low pressure carburizing plant with several in a row arranged chambers through which the batches by means of Transport organs are moved.
- Roller hearth continuous ovens are already known in which a gas cooling section between a Annealing and a hardening zone is provided (DE 42 28 006). There are also carburizing plants where carburization in the range of 0.1-60 kPa abs. (1 - 600 mbar abs.) is already known.
- a reversal of the batch by rolling motion in the area of the quenching chamber is cooling with liquid media and 2-phase flows (DE 44 01 228) is already known and can also be used for gases applied to the uniformity of deterrence to improve.
- the cross-sectional area by the cooling gas is coated, increased by reversing the batch must be what at the expense of gas velocity or the cooling rate at a given, maximum Engine power goes.
- This disadvantage is invented thereby avoided that a movable gas control system installed in the quenching chamber and shared is moved with the batch, whereby the of cross-section flowed through the gas flow always the base area of the batch equivalent.
- the drive of the gas control system is preferably carried out via an electric motor Roller drive with the help of a translation.
- roller conveyor Another disadvantage of the roller conveyor can be result from the fact that the roles according to the state of the art through the insulation, stored outside the insulation and outside the Boilers are driven, resulting in a non-negligible Heat dissipation through heat conduction leads over the transport rollers. On the one hand, this causes one higher energy requirements of the plant and deteriorated on the other hand, the temperature uniformity in the Treatment chambers.
- the Transport rollers according to the invention by ceramic or Graphite bearings held within the hot heating, Carburizing and diffusion chamber and that rest on the underlying insulation.
- the implementation to the transport engine is only carried out with a thin drive shaft that has no bending moment must transfer. Through these measures, the Minimized energy losses.
- the transport rollers in the heating, carburizing and Diffusion zone can be designed as a hollow cylinder in the an electric beam element or a gas burner is introduced and flange-mounted using a rotating union, whereby the total number of executions in the Heating, carburizing and diffusion chambers reduced becomes.
- a roller hearth tempering furnace downstream.
- Fig. 1 in elevation a low-pressure carburizing plant according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a top view of the low pressure carburizing plant 1
- FIGS. 3 and 4 cross sections of a usable within the scope of the invention
- Quenching. 5, 6 and 7 give design variants the transport rollers again.
- the batches 4 are in front of the system Loading roller table 1 arranged. From this loading roller table 1, the batches 4 enter an entry lock 6, which is vacuum-tight and can be evacuated. On the lock 6 closes a likewise evacuable heating chamber 7 on. Be in this heating chamber 7 the batches under nitrogen at a pressure of 1 to Heated up to 2 bar. The heating chamber 7 is vacuum tight Provide inlet and outlet doors, the heating batches 4 are made with circulators 8 and an electric one Helix heater 9.
- two separate carburizing chambers 10 and 11 are arranged.
- these carburizing chambers 10 and 11 is abs at a pressure of 0.1 to 60kPa. (1 to 600 mbar abs.), preferably in the range from 1 to 3 kPa abs. (10 to 30 mbar abs.) Carburized with carburizing gas.
- the arrangement of two separate carburizing chambers enables different parameters for the beginning and the end of the carburization as well as one Increase throughput. Within the scope of the invention is, however, the arrangement of only one carburizing chamber possible.
- both carburizing chambers 10 and 11 are heated with jacket pipes 12th
- the batches 4 enter a quenching chamber 17 for high pressure gas quenching.
- the structure of the quench chamber 17 is shown of Fig. 3 explained.
- the transport of the batches 4 through the invention System is, as in particular from Fig. 1 can be seen, carried out by a roller conveyor 22, which is a slow, horizontal pendulum movement of the Charge during heating, carburizing and quenching to even out the treatment result allows.
- FIG. 3 A preferred design of the quenching chamber 17 is shown in section in FIG. 3.
- a motor 32 is placed on a housing 31, which drives a fan wheel 33.
- the batch 4 is on the transport rollers 22.
- the jacket expands at the top and inside the enlarged part 37 is a Heat exchanger 38 arranged. This heat exchanger 38, however, does not take up the entire space of part 37 of the jacket, so that a free cross section 39 is formed.
- the fan wheel 33 promotes nitrogen gas in the Meaning of the arrows entered outside the jacket 34, 37 downwards, where it is deflected by 90 ° and upwards cooling the charge 4 past it sweeps. Then the cooling gas flows through to Part of the heat exchanger 38, part of the free cross section 39, taking the two streams before entering reunite in the fan wheel 33.
- the transport rollers 22 of the quenching chamber 17 allow the batch to be reversed by horizontal Pendulum movement, which ensures uniformity deterrence can be improved.
- the in Movable gas guide device located in the batch room 35 limits the area covered by the cooling gas largely on the batch area and leads the free cross section with the batch. This prevents that the cooling gas alternately in front and behind the batch flows past if this during cooling is reversibly reversed.
- the movement of the Gas guiding device can preferably be via the roller drive respectively.
- Other solutions, such as the postponement by means of pneumatic cylinders are also possible.
- the transport rollers 22 are here according to the invention by ceramic or graphite bearings 42 held within the hot heating, Carburizing and diffusion chamber 43 are located and which lie on the underlying insulation 44.
- Several transport rollers are driven by a chain drive connected outside the heating chamber.
- FIG. 7 Another embodiment variant is shown in FIG. 7 shown.
- the transport rollers in the Heating, carburizing and diffusion zone as a hollow Cylinder 47 can be designed in which an electric heating element or gas burner is introduced and by means of a rotary union 48 are flanged. Thereby the total number of executions in the heating, carburizing and diffusion chambers are reduced.
- the quenching chamber 17 executed with lowerable transport rollers be the batch on a fixed batch carrier settle the number of carburizing chambers could be of two and the number of diffusion chambers deviate from three.
