Quenching equipment is different from other cold processing equipment, and it is composed of power supply, quenching machine, cooling system and quenching system. Horizontal CNC quenching equipment shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Horizontal CNC quenching equipment Quenching machine adopts suspension structure. The structure is shown in Figure 2. 1. Top 2. Parallel resonant system composed of quenched transformer and capacitor Third, the control mode A lot of data introduce the principle of numerical control, so we won't go into details here. The following only introduces the principle of energy control. 1. Energy control principle According to the data, when the voltage changes ± 5%, the power changes within ± 10%. The relationship between the energy Pt obtained by the workpiece and the hardened layer d is shown in FIG. 3 . Figure 3 Relationship between the energy Pt obtained from the workpiece and the hardened layer d As can be seen from FIG. 3 , S when the power P changes by ±10% is a very small portion and approximates a straight line. If the heating energy is controlled within a certain range, the change of the hardened layer is also minimal. Similarly, as long as the area formed by Pg±ΔPg and tg±Δtg is sufficiently small, the areas of tg±Δtg and Wg±ΔWg are small enough (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ). This can also be verified from mathematical analysis. Because Pg = f(tg), the functional relationship of Wg = f(tg) is a one-to-one correspondence. In the heating process of the workpiece, when the instantaneous power becomes larger for some reason, the heating time is reduced according to a certain rule; otherwise, the time is prolonged. In the control system, the accumulated energy approximate value is controlled within the EFGH deviation band to achieve the purpose of controlling the energy. Of course, different deviation bands can be set for different workpieces, or different deviation bands can be set for the same workpiece according to different quality requirements. That is, the smaller the set deviation band, the higher the quality of the obtained product. Figure 4 Pg = f (tg) curve Note: Pg - Instantaneous power is not fixed, kW; Pg±ΔPg——Instantaneous power variation deviation band, kW Tg - heating time is not fixed, s; Tg ± △ tg - heating time set deviation band, s.

Hardware components The system adopts HNC-2000 industrial control machine manufactured by Huazhong Numerical Control Co., Ltd. and consists of signal detection, open-sky components, servo power driver, AC servo motor, frequency converter, AC motor and industrial control machine. The system hardware components are shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 System hardware components (1) Analog-digital conversion current, voltage, and frequency analog signals are drawn from the intermediate-frequency power source of the thyristor. They are converted into standard 0-10v voltage signals by the A/D conversion module and sent directly to the manual control unit. (2) Process parameters such as the size of the required power in different parts of the workpiece, the heating and quenching time, the number of revolutions of the part, and the exact location of the sensor are all set in code form by the IPC keyboard. (3) The input digital signal enters the artificial control machine through the multiple control input template; the industrial control machine controls the output load change through multiple control output templates.

(3) Energy control module This module is mainly responsible for energy collection, display and comparison with the energy template deviation band. In the process of processing, if in the heating state, the voltage, current and frequency of the power supply are collected through A/D conversion, and the sampled value is converted into the power value, and this value is compared with the energy template deviation band. (4) Template editing function By collecting the energy data curve, you can edit the upper and lower deviation band, and use the deviation band as a template, or open the existing template and re-edit the editing template.

Economic and Social Benefits 1. Economic benefits (1) Combining energy control and CNC high technology to control quenching quality of parts is the first in the country to improve the quality of quenching; on the other hand, it can change the power during the process of heating and quenching, which can greatly shorten the cycle of process testing in new product development work. Guarantee the progress of trial production to ensure the stability of quenching quality in the production process. (2) Integrate the quenched transformer and the electric heating capacitor together and reduce the gap of the busbar to 2mm. The electricity saving is obvious, and conservative estimation can improve the efficiency by 8% to 10%. 2. Social benefits Induction heating analog quantity control is changed to digital quantity control, which will produce a qualitative leap for the power supply technology and quenching machine tool control technology, and provide the possibility to catch up with the world advanced level. Especially to ensure the quality of parts quenching creates the conditions. This technology is used for general-purpose quenching equipment. For example, some of these technologies will be transplanted to special quenching machine tools and will have ample room for development.

At present, the induction hardening equipment used in automobile production in the world is gradually developing toward the degree of flexibility. Universal quenching machines are more versatile and feature better. The representative Japanese DKK, Spanish GH, German AEG, multinational EFD products are widely used. Their common feature is that in a quenched machine tool mouth, different parts with different performance requirements can be induction-heated and quenched, and even multi-section variable-speed transmission of the same part can be achieved; computer control technology is used to monitor and display the quenching process and process parameters, tracking In the whole process, the application of numerical control technology is very active and maturing; the computer control becomes the mainstream of control; the main drive adopts AC servo motor to drive, the moving speed is stable and uniform, the positioning accuracy is accurate, and the repeat accuracy is high; the part rotation adopts variable frequency speed regulation and can adapt to many In terms of process requirements, advanced technologies such as ball screw and linear guide rails that represent mechanical transmission technology have been widely adopted; supporting the power supply of quenching machines, quenching machine tools, and induction heating quenching devices for cooling systems have become commonplace. Since the reform and release, although FAW Group has introduced several induction hardening equipment, the most widely used general test equipment in automobile production is still a low-level PLC controlled quenching machine tool. Its low efficiency, poor function, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of quenching. In order to ensure the progress of new automotive product development and make up for the lack of general-purpose quenching machine functions, based on digesting and understanding foreign advanced technologies, after two years of hard work, the Group adopted CNC and energy control technologies to successfully develop and apply directly to production. Functional horizontal CNC quenching machine tool, leading in domestic technology performance, function close to the end of the 20th century from the introduction of GH company level. More than six months of operation shows that the performance is stable and the quality is reliable. First, horizontal CNC quenching equipment
