Embodiments of the present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an induction coil module 001 according to an embodiment of the present application is provided for heating a workpiece. The following description will exemplify the member to be heated as the linear guide 002. The induction coil module 001 includes a mounting frame 100 and an induction coil assembly 200. The induction coil assembly 200 is disposed on the mounting frame 100. The induction coil assembly 200 includes an induction module 210 and a drive module 230. The induction module 210 forms a heating chamber 201 therein, and the induction module 210 is configured to generate a magnetic field in the heating chamber 201, and the magnetic field acts on the workpiece passing through the heating chamber 201, so that the workpiece is heated. The driving module 230 is connected to the sensing module 210 to drive the sensing module 210 to deform, and controls the shape of the heating cavity 201, so that the shape of the heating cavity 201 matches with the shape of the to-be-heated member, and a gap between the inner wall of the heating cavity 201 and the outer wall of the to-be-heated member is kept within a preset range.

The induction module 210 includes a plurality of induction coil units 211. A heating chamber 201 for passing a member to be heated is formed between the plurality of induction coil units 211. Alternatively, the number of the induction coil units 211 is four. Four induction coil units 211 are located at four corners of the rectangle. Each induction coil unit 211 includes a first corner portion 2111 and a second corner portion 2113, the first corner portion 2111 and the second corner portion 2113 being substantially at right angles. The four induction coil units 211 form a heating chamber 201 having a substantially dovetail-shaped cross section. The side of the induction coil unit 211 facing the heating chamber 201 forms an inner wall of the heating chamber 201. It will be appreciated that the first corner portion 2111 and the second corner portion 2113 are generally at right angles, so that four induction coil units 211 located at the four corners of the rectangle enclose the heating chamber 201. In other implementations, the first corner portion 2111 and the second corner portion 2113 can also be at other angles. If the included angle between the first corner portion 2111 and the second corner portion 2113 reaches 60 °, the three induction coil units 211 are conveniently enclosed to form the triangular heating chamber 201. If the included angle between the first corner portion 2111 and the second corner portion 2113 reaches 120 °, the six induction coil units 211 are conveniently enclosed to form the hexagonal heating chamber 201.

The driving module 230 includes a plurality of driving members 231. Alternatively, the number of driving members 231 is four. Each driver 231 has a first end 231a and a second end 231b. The driving member 231 may be telescopic such that the first end 231a and the second end 231b are relatively displaced. The first end 231a is connected to one induction coil unit 211, and the second end 231b is connected to the other induction coil unit 211. The two induction coil units 211 can be relatively moved closer to or farther away from each other by the extension and contraction of the driving member 231. The first end 231a of the driving member 231 and the induction coil unit 211 may be rotatably connected. The rigid stress generated when the two induction coil units 211 are relatively moved is reduced by the relative rotation of the driving member 231 and the induction coil unit 211.

The linear guide 002 has a substantially dovetail-shaped cross section. A gap having a width of approximately 2 to 5mm is formed between the outer periphery of the linear guide 002 and the inner wall of the heating chamber 201. The width of the gap is perpendicular to the extending direction of the gap, and the size of the gap. A substantially uniform gap is formed between the outer periphery of the linear guide 002 and the inner wall of the heating chamber 201, and the uniformity of heating around the outer periphery of the linear guide 002 can be improved. When the first linear guide 002 is heated by the induction coil assembly 200, if the shape of the second linear guide 002 to be heated is different from that of the first linear guide 002, the shape of the heating chamber 201 needs to be changed so that the shape of the heating chamber 201 matches with that of the second linear guide 002. When the second linear guide 002 passes through the heating chamber 201 after the change of shape, a gap having a width of approximately 2 to 5mm is also formed between the outer periphery of the second linear guide 002 and the inner wall of the heating chamber 201.

Optionally, the second linear guide 002 is also substantially dovetail-shaped in cross section. The second linear guide 002 has the same dimension in the first direction X as the first linear guide 002, but the second linear guide 002 has a larger dimension in the second direction Y than the first linear guide 002. At this time, the two driving pieces 231 at opposite ends of the first direction X may be changed in size such that the induction coil unit 211 is relatively moved in the second direction Y, changing the size of the heating chamber 201 in the second direction Y.

Alternatively, the power supply line of the sensing module 210 may be pulled by the driving member 231. The power supply line of the sensing module 210 is loosely disposed on the driving member 231, and as the driving member 231 is extended, the loosened portion may be stretched to extend the entire length of the power supply line.

The induction coil module 001 further includes a control module 300 and a detecting part 400. The detecting unit 400 detects the shape of the linear guide 002. The control module 300 is electrically connected to the detecting unit 400 and the driving module 230. The control module 300 is used for controlling the movement of the driving member 231 in the driving module 230 according to the signal of the detecting part 400, so that the heating chamber 201 is deformed to be matched with the linear guide 002.

Alternatively, the detecting unit 400 includes a vision sensor that can capture the linear guide 002 to obtain image information of the linear guide 002. The detection unit 400 sends the image information of the linear guide 002 to the control module 300, and the control module 300 can determine the specific model of the linear guide 002 through analysis and comparison, and the size and the section type of the linear guide 002 can be obtained after the specific model is determined. The type of cross section of the linear guide 002 may include an i-shape, a dovetail shape, and the like. The dimensions of the linear guide 002 may include the dimensions of the first direction X and the dimensions of the second direction Y.

After determining the specific model of the linear guide 002, the control module 300 can control the driving element 231 in the driving module 230 to move. Alternatively, the control module 300 determines that the current induction coil assembly 200 is in a state of being matched with the linear guide 002 of the first type, but analyzes the image information transmitted by the detection unit 400 to determine that the linear guide 002 to be heated belongs to the linear guide 002 of the second type. The control module 300 analyzes that the first type of linear guide 002 and the second type of linear guide 002 belong to the same section type of linear guide 002, both of which are dovetail type linear guides 002. The control module 300 determines a dimensional change from the first model linear guide 002 to the second model linear guide 002: the dimension of the second type of linear guide 002 in the first direction X is the same as the dimension of the first type of linear guide 002 in the first direction X, but the dimension of the second type of linear guide 002 in the second direction Y is 2mm larger than the dimension of the first type of linear guide 002 in the second direction Y. The control module 300 controls the movement of the driving module 230 such that the two driving pieces 231 at opposite ends of the first direction X change in size, thereby relatively moving the induction coil unit 211 in the second direction Y by 2mm. The size of the heating chamber 201 in the second direction Y is increased by 2mm so that the heating chamber 201 can be fitted with the linear guide 002 of the second type.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3 in combination, the induction coil module 001 further includes a coil changing module 500. The coil changing module 500 can be used to replace the induction coil assembly 200 of different types to realize the matching of the heating chamber 201 and the linear guide 002. The looper module 500 includes a base 510 and a coil mount 530. The base 510 is fixedly connected with the mounting frame 100, and the coil mount 530 is connected with the base 510. The coil mount 530 mounts the induction coil assembly 200 thereon. When the motion path of the linear guide 002 is fixed, the coil mounting member 530 drives the induction coil assembly 200 to move relative to the base 510, so that different types of induction coil assemblies 200 enter the motion path of the linear guide 002, and further different types of induction coil assemblies 200 are matched with the linear guide 002.

The coil mount 530 has a disk shape. The coil mount 530 has a first mounting location 530a, and the first mounting location 530a is located substantially at the axial line of the disk-shaped coil mount 530. The first mounting location 530a is rotatably coupled to the base 510 about a rotational axis that substantially coincides with the axis of the coil mount 530. The coil mount 530 further has a plurality of second mounting locations 530b, the second mounting locations 530b being located at the outer periphery of the disc-shaped coil mount 530. Each second mounting location 530b mounts one induction coil assembly 200. The movement path of the linear guide 002 is substantially parallel to the axis of the disk-shaped coil mount 530. The linear guide 002 passes outside the coil mount 530. When the coil mount 530 moves relative to the base 510, the plurality of induction coil assemblies 200 at the outer circumference can be driven through the movement path of the linear guide 002. The plurality of induction coil assemblies 200 of the outer circumference of the coil mount 530 may be different types of induction coil assemblies 200. Different types of induction coil assemblies 200 have differently shaped heating chambers 201. Alternatively, different types of induction coil assemblies 200 have heating chambers 201 with different cross-sectional types. For example, one induction coil assembly 200 has a heating chamber 201 of a dovetail type in cross section, while a different type of induction coil assembly 200 has a heating chamber 201 of an i-shaped cross section. For example, one induction coil has a heating chamber 201 of a dovetail type in section and a slope angle of 45 °, while a different type of induction coil has a heating chamber 201 of a dovetail type in section and a slope angle of 60 °.

Alternatively, the induction coil assembly 200 is mounted to the second mounting location 530b by the adjuster 550. The adjustment member 550 is a telescoping member capable of controlling the relative movement of the induction coil assembly 200 toward and away from the second mounting location 530b. When the induction coil assembly 200 is not required to be used, the induction coil assembly 200 can be brought close to the second installation site 530b by the adjustment member 550, so that the induction coil assembly 200 can be conveniently stored. When the induction coil assembly 200 is needed, the coil mounting member 530 may be rotated to radially align the induction coil assembly 200 to be used with the movement path of the linear guide 002, and then the adjustment member 550 is extended to move the induction coil assembly 200 to the movement path of the linear guide 002.

Referring to fig. 1, optionally, the control module 300 is electrically connected to the ring changing module 500. The detection unit 400 sends the image information of the linear guide 002 to the control module 300, and the control module 300 can determine the specific model of the linear guide 002 through analysis and comparison, and the size and the section type of the linear guide 002 can be obtained after the specific model is determined. The type of cross section of the linear guide 002 may include an i-shape, a dovetail shape, and the like.

After determining the specific model of the linear guide 002, the control module 300 may control the movement of the coil mounting member 530 in the coil changing module 500. Alternatively, the control module 300 determines that the current induction coil assembly 200 is in a state of being matched with the linear guide 002 of the first type, and the image information transmitted by the analysis detecting part 400 determines that the linear guide 002 to be heated belongs to the linear guide 002 of the third type. The control module 300 analyzes that the first type of linear guide 002 and the third type of linear guide 002 belong to linear guide 002 of different section types, the first type of linear guide 002 is a dovetail type linear guide 002, and the third type of linear guide 002 is an i-shaped linear guide 002. The control module 300 determines the position of the induction coil assembly 200 mated with the linear guide 002 of the first model and the position of the induction coil assembly 200 mated with the linear guide 002 of the third model. The control module 300 controls the coil mount 530 to rotate relative to the base 510, the induction coil assembly 200 mated with the first type of linear guide 002 is away from the path of movement of the linear guide 002, and the induction coil assembly 200 mated with the third type of linear guide 002 is close to the path of movement of the linear guide 002. Until the induction coil assembly 200, which is engaged with the third type of linear guide 002, enters the movement path of the linear guide 002, the third type of linear guide 002 moves along the movement path, the heating chamber 201 of the induction coil assembly 200 can be penetrated.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 4 in combination, the control module 300 includes a central processing unit 310, a memory 330 and an arithmetic unit 350. The central processing unit 310 is electrically connected to the detecting unit 400, and the central processing unit 310 can control the detecting unit 400 to operate. For example, the cpu 310 controls the detection unit 400 to be turned on or off, controls the on time of the detection unit 400, and the like. The detection unit 400 is electrically connected to the arithmetic unit 350, and the detection unit 400 transmits the image information of the linear guide 002 to the arithmetic unit 350. The arithmetic unit 350 is electrically connected to the memory 330, and the memory 330 stores image information of the linear guide 002 of various types. The arithmetic unit 350 analyzes the image information of the linear guide 002, and compares the image information of the linear guide 002 with the image information of the linear guide 002 stored in the memory 330. The arithmetic unit 350 recognizes the model of the linear guide 002 detected by the detecting unit 400 by analysis and comparison. The arithmetic unit 350 is electrically connected to the central processing unit 310, and the arithmetic unit 350 transmits the model information of the linear guide 002 to the central processing unit 310. The central processor 310 is also used to control the turning on or off of the memory 330 and the operator 350. After the central processing unit 310 controls the detection portion 400 to be turned on, the operation unit 350 and the memory 330 may be further controlled to be turned on, so that the operation unit 350 and the memory 330 cooperate with the detection portion 400.

The control module 300 also includes a coil controller 370. The central processor 310 is also electrically connected to the coil controller 370. The central processor 310 can control the turn-on or turn-off of the coil controller 370. The central processor 310 also transmits the model information of the linear guide 002 to the coil controller 370. The coil controller 370 is electrically connected with the driving module 230, and the coil controller 370 controls the driving module 230 to move according to the model information of the linear guide 002, so that the driving module 230 drives the induction module 210 to move to the heating cavity 201 to match with the linear guide 002. The coil controller 370 is further electrically connected to the coil changing module 500, and the coil controller 370 controls the movement of the coil mount 530 according to the model information of the linear guide 002, so that the coil mount 530 drives the induction coil assembly 200 capable of being matched with the linear guide 002 to move to the movement path of the linear guide 002. Optionally, the coil controller 370 determines whether the induction coil assembly 200 can be deformed by the driving module 230 such that the heating chamber 201 is deformed to be capable of being matched with the linear guide 002. This step can be achieved by judging whether the sectional type of the induction coil assembly 200 is the same as the sectional type of the linear guide 002 detected by the detecting part 400. As shown in fig. 5, if the coil controller 370 determines that the induction coil assembly 200 on the moving path of the linear guide 002 cannot be deformed by the driving module 230, the heating chamber 201 is deformed to be capable of being matched with the linear guide 002. The coil controller 370 may control the coil mount 530 to move such that the induction coil assembly 200, which is the same type of cross section of the linear guide 002 detected by the detecting part 400, moves to the moving path of the linear guide 002. The drive module 230 of the induction coil assembly 200 is then controlled to move so that the heating chamber 201 of the induction coil assembly 200 is deformed to fit the linear guide 002.

The induction coil module 001 further includes a dust cover 600. The dust cap 600 has a dust cavity. The induction coil assembly 200, which is located in the path of movement of the linear guide 002, is located within the dust cap 600. The dust cover 600 can reduce dust adhering to the heated linear guide 002 and improve the heat treatment quality of the linear guide 002.

The induction coil module 001 further includes a work table 700. The work table 700 has a work slot 710. The movement path of the linear guide 002 is located above the working groove 710. In one aspect, the working channel 710 can receive debris that may be generated, reducing production risk. On the other hand, the table 700 may be made of a high temperature resistant material, and is subjected to the high temperature generated by the heat-treated linear guide 002, so as to protect other components of the induction coil module 001.

Such an induction coil module 001 can detect the image information of the linear guide 002 by the visual sensor of the detecting unit 400. The control module 300 compares the image information for identifying the linear guide 002 and determines the model of the linear guide 002. The movement of the induction coil assembly 200 matching the model of the linear guide 002 in the coil changing module 500 is controlled by the coil controller 370 such that the induction coil assembly 200 moves to the movement path of the linear guide 002. The coil controller 370 controls the driving module 230 of the induction coil assembly 200 to move such that the heating chamber 201 of the induction coil assembly 200 is deformed to be able to be engaged with the linear guide 002, forming a substantially uniform gap between the inner wall of the heating chamber 201 and the outer circumference of the linear guide 002. When the linear guide 002 passes through the heating chamber 201, the linear guide 002 can be uniformly heated. The induction coil module 001 can automatically control the matching of the induction coil assembly 200 and the linear guide rail 002, reduces the operation of frequent replacement of the induction coil in the past by workers, and can improve the efficiency of the heat treatment production line of the single linear guide rail 002. The induction coil module 001 can adapt to heat treatment of the linear guide rail 002 with various specifications and sizes, so that the self-adaptability of a single production line is improved, the processing efficiency of the single production line can be improved, the input cost of a factory production line is reduced, and the like.

Example two

As shown in fig. 6, the induction coil module 001 provided in this embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that:

Each driving member 231 is a telescopic rod 2311. The plurality of telescopic links 2311 are sequentially connected to form a ring structure. Optionally, four telescoping rods 2311 are sequentially connected to form a rectangular ring structure. The joint of two adjacent telescopic rods 2311 is rotatably connected.

Four induction coil units 211 are disposed on the annular structure. Alternatively, each induction coil unit 211 is disposed on each telescopic link 2311 substantially in a straight line. As the telescopic rod 2311 is telescopic, the ring structure is deformed, and the induction coil unit 211 also moves along with the ring structure, so that the heating chamber 201 formed by the induction coil unit 211 is changed according to the ring structure. The shape of the heating chamber 201 is the same as the shape of the ring structure.

When the induction coil module 001 has been used to heat the linear guide 002 of the fourth model, it is to be used to heat the linear guide 002 of the fifth model. The fourth type linear guide 002 and the fifth type linear guide 002 belong to the same section type linear guide 002, and both are I-shaped linear guide 002 with shallow grooves. The dimensions of the linear guide 002 from the fourth model to the fifth model vary: the dimension of the linear guide 002 of the fifth model in the first direction X is the same as the dimension of the linear guide 002 of the fourth model in the first direction X, but the dimension of the linear guide 002 of the fifth model in the second direction Y is 2mm larger than the dimension of the linear guide 002 of the fourth model in the second direction Y. The two telescopic rods 2311 at two opposite ends of the first direction X are extended by 2mm, so that the size of the heating cavity 201 in the second direction Y can be increased by 2mm, and the heating cavity 201 can be matched with the linear guide rail 002 of the second type.

In other embodiments, the cross-sectional type of heating cavity 201 may also be changed by deformation of telescoping rod 2311. For example, only one of the telescoping rods 2311 is shortened while the length of the other telescoping rods 2311 is unchanged, the heating chamber 201 may be deformed into a trapezoidal cross section.

The induction coil module 001 can control the shape of the heating chamber 201 by extending and shortening the telescopic rod 2311.

Each driving member 231 is connected to one induction coil unit 211, and as the driving member 231 moves relative to the substrate 235, the induction coil unit 211 also moves relative to the substrate 235, thereby changing the shape of the heating chamber 201.
