Definitions

  • the invention relates to a furnace system for cooling a batch, in particular of metallic workpieces, after heat treatment within a closed treatment chamber by blowing with a stream of cooling gas.
  • a furnace for carrying out a heat treatment of workpieces with a closed treatment chamber receiving the workpieces is known.
  • the chamber contains an inlet for introducing a substantially continuous flow of a gas which is active in the heat treatment and a connection for discharging a substantially constant gas flow from the chamber, with circulation devices being used to generate the gas flow.
  • spaces adjacent to the chamber are provided, each with an associated reciprocable piston.
  • At least two pistons can be arranged at right angles to one another. With the aid of these pistons, the gas in the chamber can be moved back and forth in a pulsating manner relative to the workpiece.
  • a suitable gas for carrying out a thermochemical process such as carburization, decarburization, reduction or nitriding is brought into contact with the surface of the workpiece.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a furnace system for cooling a batch after a heat treatment within a closed treatment chamber by blowing with a cooling gas, by means of which the thermal requirements during a cooling process can be better fulfilled than hitherto.
  • the flow of the cooling gas should be controllable within the treatment chamber in such a way that a largely uniform temperature distribution within the batch can be achieved if a desired cooling rate is maintained.
  • an electrical memory in the temperature control system which is used to store the control signals of an initial batch for a programmed control of repeat batches.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention consist essentially in the fact that through the targeted use of the cooling gas flow in the treatment chamber in terms of intensity and / or direction, taking into account the conditions of the batch, cooling is carried out at a predetermined speed and the other largely uniform distribution of the temperature within the batch can be achieved.
  • Uniform temperature distribution means maintaining temperature differences within a specified range.
  • Such a cooling process can be carried out safely both within a treatment chamber in the form of a hollow cylinder and in the form of a hollow cube.
  • the inclusion of a temperature controller system on the basis of target-actual comparisons between the target values of the temperature specification and the measured actual values also offers the advantage of being able to carry out the entire cooling process automatically.
  • a vacuum chamber furnace which essentially consists of a double-walled cylindrical steel housing 1, which has a removable cover 2 on the underside, and a cylindrical treatment chamber located on the inside 3 with an upright cylinder axis and space on all sides to the inner wall of the steel housing 1. Loading takes place from the underside after removal of the cover 2.
  • the cover can just as well be arranged on the top of the steel housing.
  • partition walls 4 and 5 are arranged in the form of annular disks in the vicinity of the upper and lower ends of the treatment chamber. These dividing walls form a lower and an upper space 6 and 7 and a middle space in the intermediate space.
  • the middle room is divided by two partition walls 8 running in a common axial plane into two semicircular rooms 9, 10.
  • control valves for the inlet are designated E and for the outlet of the cooling gas with A, the affiliation to the respective space 6, 7, 9 or 10 being indicated by the additional digit.
  • the control valves are two-way valves that are actuated electromagnetically or in some other way.
  • FIG. 3 shows an oven system with a cubic treatment chamber 3 'inside a cylindrical steel housing 1', which is arranged with a horizontally extending cylinder axis.
  • the cover 2 ', with which the loading opening is closed, is located here on an end face of the steel housing 1'.
  • the steel housing 1 ' is shown on the left in cross section and on the right in longitudinal section.
  • the treatment chamber 3 'in the form of a cube has a length in the diagonals which corresponds approximately to the inside diameter of the cylindrical steel housing 1'.
  • partition walls 16, 17 are arranged in the form of circular sections. A total of six closed rooms are formed by these partition walls 16 and 17, namely a room 18 on the front sides and rooms 20, 21, 22 and 23 on the longitudinal walls of the treatment chamber 3 '.
  • the individual control valves are designated as in the furnace system according to FIG. 1 with the letters E and A with the addition of a number that corresponds to the reference number of the associated room.
  • FIG. 4 In the treatment chamber 3 'provided here in the form of a cube, eight different operating states are possible with regard to the guidance of the cooling gas in the interior of the treatment chamber 3'. These different operating states are shown in FIG. 4 in the same way as in FIG. 3 for the furnace system according to FIG. 1.
  • operating states 5 to 8 gas flows can be set which run in opposite directions perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. This is indicated by crosses or dots.
  • the table at the bottom shows the switching positions of the twelve control valves for all eight operating states.
  • the change in the intensity of the different flows of the cooling gas in the interior of the treatment chamber 3 or 3 ′ can be brought about in a simple manner by regulating the delivery rate of the blower device 14.
