火資訊與當前批次之工件W的淬火條件相符/匹配。較佳地,該驅動部M包含一致動器,例如是一馬達;更佳地,該驅動部M另包含一齒輪組(未顯示)或對應的連桿機構(未顯示),以調整該導引件51產生位置及/或角度的變化。以第2圖為例,該導引件51具有一樞軸51P,該導引件51可透過該驅動部M之驅動,自該樞軸51P旋轉以改變該導引件51的位置及/或角度(如第3圖所示)。較佳地,該驅動部M與該導引件51之間具有一隔熱構造(未顯示),該隔熱構造用以減少或阻絕接觸該導引件51之工件W的高溫傳遞至該驅動部M,以減緩或避免該驅動部M受到工件W的高溫造成的熱損害。
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the
該導引管52係可選地設置於該導引件51的外部,特別是形成一中空管道使該導引件51設置於該導引管52中,較佳地,在一工件W自該導引裝置5運送至該淬火裝置4的過程中,使該工件W通過該導引管52的內部,以避免發生非預期的運送結果(例如工件W掉到地上或進入到不符合淬火條件的淬火裝置4)。詳言之,該導引管52具有一主要管路段52P與二導引管路段52G,該主要管路段52P與該二導引管路段52G彼此相通(特別是在未經遮蓋的狀態下),各該導引管路段52G的末端開口的位置對應不同的淬火裝置4。較佳地,該主要管路段52P的一自由端開口的位置對應該輸送裝置11的位置,使工件W自所述自由端開口進到該主要管路段52P,再經由該二導引管路段52G中之一者進到到對應的淬火裝置4。如此,透過該導引管52的該主要管路段52P與該二導引管路段52G的配置,可確保工件W在預期的路徑上運送。另,透過該導引件51的位置及/或角度改變,可局部或完全遮擋該二導引管路段52G中之一者,使一工件W進入未被遮擋的導引管路段52G,以導引該工件W進入符合其淬火條件的該淬火裝置4中。

應注意的是,本發明中所定義的淬火裝置4的特徵與功效在於具有用於進行工件W淬火的淬火溶液L,且不同淬火裝置4具有不同淬火條件的淬火溶液L。因此,本發明第2、4圖僅是用於釋例性地說明不同態樣的淬火裝置4,本發明中可應用、替換或組合使用的淬火裝置4並不以此為限。

應注意的是,如本發明第2、5圖所示,本發明中所定義的淬火裝置4的數量可以為多個,較佳不超過四個,且該導引件51的數量及/或配置可對應該淬火裝置4的數量而調整,以使工件W被導引至符合其淬火條件的淬火裝置4。
It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 2 and 5 of the present invention, the number of
可替換地,如第6圖所示,其係顯示該導引裝置5的另一較佳實施例。該導引裝置5的該導引件51係可形成一管體,並以一軸心線51A進行轉動,以對應工件W的淬火條件,由該處理器3調整該導引件51的位置及/或角度,使工件W可被導引至對應的淬火裝置4。其中,該導引裝置5可鄰近至少一個淬火裝置4設置。

應注意的是,如本發明第2、5、6圖所示,本發明中所定義的導引裝置5及/或導引件51可具有不同的實施配置,並基於上述儲存單元2、處理器3會根據工件W的淬火條件以匹配對應淬火裝置4的機制,調整該導引裝置5或該導引件51的位置及/或角度,使工件W進到對應的淬火裝置4。特別是,所述工件W在輸送的過程中,可因對應的輸送軌道、重力或其他因素而具有朝一方向前進的動量,該導引裝置5或該導引件51係用於調整該工件W在其前進方向的偏位,使該工件W可被導引至目標位置的淬火裝置4。換言之,基於所述機制,本發明第2、5、6圖僅是用於釋例性地說明不同態樣的導引裝置5及/或導引件51,本發明中可應用、替換或組合使用的導引裝置5及/或導引件51並不以此為限。

綜上所述,本發明之熱處理設備之淬火系統,透過淬火系統具有多種不同淬火條件的多個淬火裝置,可形成用於處理多種淬火條件之工件 的一站式流水線系統,而可減少調整或更換淬火溶液的頻率,以便利進行不同淬火條件之工件的淬火作業。另,相對習知技術中,因一流水線一次僅能處理一種淬火條件的工件,所以當為了同時處理多種淬火條件的工件,需要更多空間配置多條流水線,而造成空間使用上的成本提升;本發明之熱處理設備之淬火系統可使整體系統的配置更為精簡而減少占地面積,使工廠的場地可更有效的運用。另,透過儲存單元儲存工件的淬火條件及多個淬火裝置的淬火資訊與位置,及透過處理器將工件的淬火條件與多個淬火裝置的淬火資訊進行匹配,以調整/控制導引裝置使工件進入到符合其淬火條件的淬火裝置,使淬火系統可自動化導引不同淬火條件之工件至對應的淬火裝置。 To sum up, the quenching system of the heat treatment equipment of the present invention can form workpieces for processing various quenching conditions through the quenching system having multiple quenching devices with different quenching conditions. The one-stop assembly line system can reduce the frequency of adjusting or replacing quenching solutions to facilitate the quenching of workpieces with different quenching conditions. In addition, compared with the conventional technology, one pipeline can only process workpieces with one quenching condition at a time. Therefore, in order to process workpieces with multiple quenching conditions at the same time, more space is needed to configure multiple pipelines, which increases the cost of space use; The quenching system of the heat treatment equipment of the present invention can simplify the configuration of the overall system and reduce the floor space, so that the factory site can be used more effectively. In addition, the quenching conditions of the workpiece and the quenching information and positions of multiple quenching devices are stored through the storage unit, and the quenching conditions of the workpiece are matched with the quenching information of the multiple quenching devices through the processor to adjust/control the guide device to make the workpiece Enter the quenching device that meets its quenching conditions, so that the quenching system can automatically guide workpieces with different quenching conditions to the corresponding quenching device.
