Introduction： 1. The invention is aimed at the existing quenching process with high energy consumption and high pollution and other technical problems. The team developed a new environmentally friendly quenching process based on PAG quenching media. The performance of the specimen was tested through experiments (Figure 1), and compared with the existing process, energy consumption was reduced while performance was improved. Based on this technology, the team invented a deep learning-based method and control system for detecting defects in binder clip (Figure 2), which realizes the detection and recognition of defective images of binder clip. It has published 4 papers in journals in the field of materials engineering, declared several Chinese patents and international patents, and won 1 provincial award (Figure 3). The search report shows that the technology has strong novelty, creativity and industrial practicability. 2. Aiming at the existing quenching equipment structure is simple, the temperature control is not accurate and other problems. With the research and development of the new environmentally friendly quenching process as a guide combined with the actual production of quenching equipment needs, the development of intelligent quenching equipment (Figure 4). Constructed a dynamic model of the quenching furnace feeding equipment, developed the quenching furnace feeding system, and realized the orderly and dense rows of feeding. The automatic control process designed by the team improves the productivity of the quenching equipment and reduces the work intensity of the operators. This shows that the invention has high technical, economic and social value. 3. Existing quenching equipment is mostly high power consumption, low intelligence components, in response to low carbon emission reduction, the results of this invention fits the current policy trend, while intelligent equipment can be promoted and applied to other mechanical parts manufacturing fields, such as powder metallurgy products. Therefore, intelligent quenching furnace and quenching process key technology has high application value, economic value and social value.
