Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Transportieren metallischer Werkstücke, insbesondere während eines Wärmebehandlungsprozesses.The invention relates to a device for transporting metallic workpieces, especially during a heat treatment process.
Bekannt ist eine derartige Vorrichtung beispielsweise aus der EP 1 229 137. Sie dient dem Transfer metallischer Werkstücke zwischen einzelnen Wärmebehandlungskammern, die im Rahmen eines Wärmebehandlungsprozesses in vorgebbarer Reihenfolge angefahren und über die Transportvorrichtung be- und entladen werden können.Such a device is known for example from EP 1 229 137. You serves to transfer metallic workpieces between individual heat treatment chambers, which are part of a heat treatment process in Approachable order approached and loaded on the transport device can be discharged.
Um sicherzustellen, daß nach Abschluß eines in einer Wärmebehandlungskammer durchgeführten Behandlungsvorganges die Werkstücke nicht unplanmäßig und unkontrolliert abkühlen und/oder der die Wärmebehandlungskammer umgebenden Atmosphäre ausgesetzt werden, ist die Vorrichtung zum Transportieren mit einer Transportkammer ausgerüstet, die wärmeisoliert und vakuumdicht ausgebildet ist. Wärmebehandelte Werkstücke können so ohne den störenden Einfluß nicht kalkulierbarer Außeneinwirkungen aus der Wärmebehandlungskammer entnommen, in die Transportkammer übergeben und zur Weiterbehandlung zu einer anderen Wärmebehandlungskammer transportiert werden.To ensure that after completing one in a heat treatment chamber performed treatment process the workpieces not unscheduled and cool down in an uncontrolled manner and / or the area surrounding the heat treatment chamber Exposed to atmosphere, is the device for transporting with a Transport chamber equipped, which is heat-insulated and vacuum-tight. Heat-treated workpieces can not be calculated without the disruptive influence External influences taken from the heat treatment chamber, in passed the transport chamber and for further processing to another Heat treatment chamber are transported.
Gebildet ist die aus der EP 1 229 137 vorbekannte Vorrichtung zum Transportieren aus einem relativ zu den einzelnen Wärmebehandlungskammern verfahrbar angeordneten Fahrgestell, das eine wärmeisoliert und vakuumdicht ausgebildete Transportkammer trägt. Mittels des Fahrgestells kann die Transportkammer bedarfsgerecht an die einzelnen Wärmebehandlungskammern herangefahren werden, wobei die Transportkammer für ein exaktes Ankoppeln an die Wärmebehandlungskammern relativ verfahrbar zum Fahrgestell angeordnet ist, so daß die Transportkammer auch quer zur Fahrtrichtung des Fahrgestells ausgerichtet werden kann.The device for transport known from EP 1 229 137 is formed from a movable relative to the individual heat treatment chambers Chassis, which is a heat-insulated and vacuum-tight transport chamber wearing. The transport chamber can be adjusted as required by means of the chassis be approached to the individual heat treatment chambers, wherein the transport chamber for precise coupling to the heat treatment chambers is arranged relatively movable to the chassis, so that the transport chamber can also be aligned transversely to the direction of travel of the chassis.
Die Transportkammer der vorbeschriebenen Transporteinrichtung ist ausgelegt für den Warmtransport wärmebehandelter Werkstücke. Um Kaltchargen unbeeinflußt, beispielsweise zu Beginn eines Wärmebehandlungsprozesses zu transportieren, ist die Transportkammer mittels eines dafür vorgesehenen Kühlgebläses zunächst abzukühlen. Zudem ist die Transportkammer unter Atmosphärendruck zu setzen, damit die Kaltcharge in die Transportkammer eingeführt werden kann. Sobald die Kaltcharge in die erste Wärmebehandlungskammer übergeben ist, ist die Transportkammer sodann aufzuheizen und zu evakuieren, so daß nach einer Beendigung des Behandlungsprozesses innerhalb der ersten Wärmebehandlungskammer ein von äußeren Einflüssen befreiter Transport der behandelten Werkstücke zur nächsten Wärmebehandlungskammer stattfinden kann. Sobald der Wärmebehandlungsprozeß insgesamt abgeschlossen ist muß die Transportkammer für die erneute Aufnahme einer Kaltcharge entsprechend abgekühlt und auf atmosphärischen Druck gebracht werden.The transport chamber of the transport device described above is designed for the warm transport of heat-treated workpieces. To unaffected cold batches, for example at the beginning of a heat treatment process, the transport chamber is initially by means of a cooling fan provided for this purpose cool.

Die im Rahmen der Durchführung eines Wärmebehandlungsprozesses wiederholt durchzuführende Erwärmung bzw. Abkühlung der Transportkammer ist in nachteiliger Weise sehr energieaufwendig und kostenintensiv. Gleiches gilt für das Evakuieren und Fluten der Transportkammer, was im Rahmen einer Verfahrensdurchführung gleichfalls wiederholt durchgeführt werden muß. Dabei ist ferner von Nachteil, daß ein Evakuierungsvorgang als solcher ebenso wie das Aufwärmen der Transportkammer sehr zeitintensiv ist, was zu einer insgesamt verlängerten Verfahrensdurchführung führt.The repeated as part of the implementation of a heat treatment process heating or cooling of the transport chamber is disadvantageous Wise, very energy-intensive and costly.
