Abstract

A device for the simultaneous induction heating of elements with complex shapes e.g. camshafts to provide a localized surface hardening of the elements to a constant depth all over the periphery of the element. This is accomplished by causing that the outside profile of the element to be heated and the inside profile of the inductor are geometrically similar and the clearance is minimum thus providing a tight coupling. The device consists of a construction (5) including inductors (1), (2), (3), (4) and hydraulic pistons (7) that move the mobile portion (10) of each inductor, thus allowing the loop to be opened and the element to be positioned. The hydraulic pistons can be replaced by pneumatic pistons or electromechanical actuators. The inductors consist of two portions: portion (10) is moved by pistons (7) and portion (11) is integral with the construction. Once the surfaces (12) of the two portions are brought into contact with each other, they form a closed loop having the inside profile geometrically similar to profile (8) of the element to be heated.

Description

Induction heating device of a variety of elements with complex shapes to provide a constant-depth surface hardening
*****
The present invention relates to a device for the induction heating of a variety of elements with complex shapes to provide a localized surface hardening of the elements to a constant depth. A large variety of elements can be treated by such a device. Particularly, such device can be used to treat camshafts of internal-combustion engines. The name of camshaft is derived by that the shaft has cams along its longitudinal axis, each of them drives by its rotation and through tappets the intake and exhaust valves and the pistons of the fuel injection pump as well .
Cams should have a high hardness number at the surface to withstand the mechanical wear due to the contact with tappets as well as a good resiliency at the core to avoid a fatigue breaking.
This can be achieved by case-hardening of the elements in shaft furnaces followed by quenching; such a process takes a long time and is expensive especially due to the need for protecting the portions of the elements that shouldn't be treated.
For this reason the treatment by induction hardening is widespread in the industrial practice. The induction heating process generally consists of positioning the element to be treated inside an inductor energized by an AC power supply with a power and at a frequency suitable for the applications. The alternated magnetic field induced into the element generates in turn induced currents that heats it by Joule effect.
In case of enough high frequency, the heating is limited to the surface of the element. After the end of the heating lasting a few minutes to prevent the heat from reaching the core of the element, a quenching is carried out by dipping or spouting it with a cooling liquid. The provision of a tight coupling between element and inductor is necessary to provide a hardening with a constant depth, i.e. the outside surface of the element and the inside surface of the inductor should be geometrically similar and the clearance therebetween is minimum. In case of circular elements this can easily be achieved; moreover, it is also possible to rotate the element during the process to improve the homogeneity of the heating. In the present case where the elements have a profile with many more or less projecting portions, that is not possible. Indeed, by positioning the element inside a circular inductor the projecting portions will be heated to a greater depth also due to any rotation of the element so that the hardened portions will be deeper.
Cams have complex shapes different from one another and not necessarily symmetrical to transmit the motion to tappets at an instant speed and acceleration required by the operating cycle of each valve or piston of the injection pump.
Besides having different profiles the angular positions of the several cams are also shifted out of phase according to the operating cycle of the engine cylinders .
There is then the need for inductors having a shape similar to the element to be hardened. In case of several elements which are different and positioned in an out-of-phase succession the inductor should be capable of being opened as the elements cannot be inserted along the longitudinal axis of the inductor when the latter is closed. It is convenient to treat concurrently several elements to increase the yield.
The present invention seeks to provide a device able to heat a portion of an element having one or more complex profiles in order to provide eventually a hardening with a constant depth.
According to the invention this has been accomplished by causing the outside surface of the element and the inside surface of the inductor to have geometrically similar profiles and the clearance to be minimum as well. The device consists of a construction comprising inductors and hydraulic pistons moving the mobile portion of each inductor, thus allowing the thereby formed loop to be opened and the element to be positioned inside it. The hydraulic pistons can be replaced by pneumatic pistons or electromechanical actuators .
More particularly, the inductors consist of two portions: one portion moved by said pistons and a second portion integral with the construction, which portions brought into contact by their surfaces form a closed loop having an inside profile which is geometrically similar to the profile of the element. A first embodiment is shown in sheet 1 by side and top views .
The inductors indicated in this embodiment at 1, 2, 3 and 4 are assembled to form a construction 5 which provides for their positioning and includes all mechanical, electrical connections to supply said inductors with electric current, cooling water and fluid to move the driving pistons. The inductors consist pf two portions: one portions 11 is secured to construction 5 and portions 10 is moved by pistons 7. Once surfaces 12 of these two portions are brought into mechanical, electrical contact, they form a closed loop having an inside profile which is geometrically similar to profile 8 of the piece to be heated.
Sheet 1 and sheet 2 show closed and opened inductors, respectively. Half inductor 11 consists of two mechanically joined portions which are, however, electrically insulated by contact surface 13 made of insulating material and prolonged until the two strip collectors 15 secured to construction 5 are electrically insulated too. Pistons 7, one for each inductor, allow just some profile to be heated • leaving the -inductors at the -prof-i-les not to be treated open and inactive.
Said pistons can be hydraulically or pneumatically driven if it is not required any strong closure force. As an alternative, in case the available space is enough, electromechanical actuators such as ball bearing screws can also be used. The movement of semi-inductors 10 is guided by two rods 14 provided with self-lubricating bushes. Elastic members such as Belleville washers ensuring in any case the correct closure of the loop also in the presence of pollution or clearance are put between the end of the rods and semi-inductors 10.
The opening of the inductors takes place by two movements :
Sheet 1 and sheet 2, Fig. A: closed inductors;
Fig. B: opening of the semi-inductors to the left, possibly one at a time, by pistons 7;
Fig. C: horizontal shifting to the right of the whole construction 5 and then all of semi-conductors 11 concurrently. As the inductor is in its open position, it allows the vertical movement of the shaft to be treated.
As the inductor is in its closed position, its inside profile coincides with the outside profile 8 of the element to be treated. As an alternative, the opening motion of the loop can take place according to the construction solution shown in sheet 3.
According to this solution the two groups of mirror- like semi-inductors 10 and 11 are both mobile and driven by a separate group of pistons; the closure of the loop is due to the direct contact of the two semi- inductors through strip collectors 15 which are secured to construction 5. The whole treatment cycle can be summarized as follows: positioning the shaft vertically between two tailstocks;
- moving the shaft vertically until the first profiles at the lower end of the shaft to be treated are positioned at the construction 5;
- shifting the whole construction 5 horizontally until it is positioned near semi-iήductors 11;
- closing the group of semi-inductors 10 by pistons 7 leaving the inductors at the profiles not to be treated open and inactive;
- heating the piece which can be possibly rotated;
- opening the group of semi-inductors 10;
- shifting the whole construction 5 to move it away from semi-inductors 11 and to allow the following movement ; moving the shaft vertically until the heated profiles are positioned at the quenching shower or inside the basin; - repeating the cycle onto the profiles to be next treated.
As an alternative, according to the constructive solution shown- in sheet 3 the movement of construction 5 and semi-inductors 10 is replaced by the symmetrical movement of semi-inductors 10 and 11 with respect to the two strip collectors 15 secured to construction 5. Each inductor can be supplied with different power and at a different frequency in case of considerable differences of shapes or depths of hardening which are desired for the several profiles.
The present invention is characterized over the already known induction heating devices by the following features:
- constancy of the hardening depth even on element with complex shapes because of the particular profile of the inductor; possibility of treating concurrently several different zones of the element with different profiles and hardening depths because of the possibility of supplying the inductors with different power and at different frequency; easiness and quickness of fitting out the installation because of the electrical, hydraulic, fluidic connections arranged to the carrying construction.
