Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic induction heating, and specifically relates to an electromagnetic induction device for continuously synthesizing metal catalytic materials. Background Art
[0002] Electromagnetic induction heating technology is an efficient heating method that converts electrical energy into heat energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Its core is to generate eddy currents inside a conductive material through an alternating magnetic field, causing the material to heat itself and quickly reach the high temperature state required for synthesis, thereby achieving a fast and uniform heating effect. It has been widely used in fields such as metal smelting, heat treatment, welding, and material synthesis.
[0003] During the thermal synthesis of materials, induction heating technology can precisely control the heating rate and temperature distribution. Combined with high-purity raw materials and a protective atmosphere (such as argon, nitrogen, or hydrogen) or a reaction atmosphere, it can achieve chemical reactions, solid-phase diffusion, or melting of the raw materials to synthesize high-performance materials. It has the advantages of fast heating speed, high energy utilization rate, and low environmental pollution, and is particularly suitable for synthesizing magnetic materials. For example, when preparing CuCo bimetallic or CoNi bimetallic catalytic materials, induction heating technology can precisely control the heating rate and temperature distribution to ensure that the raw materials melt at high temperatures, forming products with high purity and high density.
[0004] Currently, a variety of melting furnaces related to induction heating technology have been publicly disclosed at home and abroad. However, they all have some problems: 1) Chinese Patent Application CN 201020592296 discloses an electromagnetic induction melting furnace with the characteristics of high efficiency and easy maintenance. However, its coil is exposed, and it cannot solve the oxidation problem during the heating process; 2) Chinese Patent Application CN201320039078 discloses a waterless cooling induction heating melting furnace. There is a furnace lining between the induction coil and the crucible. Its coil operates at a relatively low temperature, resulting in low heating efficiency. Moreover, it lacks a cooling process and cannot dissipate heat quickly. Furthermore, the induction coil is exposed and is extremely easy to be oxidized during use, and it cannot process non-magnetic materials; 3) Chinese Patent Application CN201610144810 discloses a relatively complex induction melting furnace. Although it can heat non-magnetic substances, its structure is extremely complex, the installation difficulty is high, and the cost and maintenance are high; Chinese Patent Application CN 202411267885 discloses a barrel-shaped electromagnetic induction melting furnace with good magnetic circuit sealing and high heating efficiency. However, it adopts an open system and has a single function. It cannot avoid the oxidation of the heated materials and cannot provide a chemical reaction atmosphere. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0029] First, both ends of the induction coil are respectively inserted into the through holes opened in the upper heat preservation mold base and the lower heat preservation mold base. The upper heat preservation mold base and the lower heat preservation mold base are both located inside the sealed induction furnace cavity. The sealed induction furnace cavity can prevent the outside air from contacting the induction coil, solving the oxidation problem during the heating process, and the structure is simple. Second, the induction coil and the upper magnetic core and the lower magnetic core inserted therein concentrate the inductance. Just by energizing the induction coil, the metal powder and alloy materials can be heated efficiently and continuously by means of the electromagnetic induction heating principle. Third, during the heating process, the real-time temperature of the material is collected by the temperature sensor and fed back to the control system, and real-time monitoring is carried out by using a PC or a display screen. When the temperature is too high or too low, the heating parameters and the movement control of the stepping motor are adjusted by the control system or the PC to heat the material within the set temperature range, and the metal catalytic material can be synthesized efficiently and stably. Fourth, the shape of the induction coil can be flexibly replaced according to the state and process requirements of the material to be heated, and it can adapt to the heating requirements of different materials. Fifth, according to different materials, the reaction atmosphere can be adjusted through the air exchange port, thereby changing the gas composition in the synthesis environment. For example: inert gas or reducing gas, which has good applicability. Sixth, with the help of an external water tank to provide coolant and using the hollow induction tube as a circulation pipeline, heat dissipation can be carried out efficiently to prevent the temperature from being too high. In short, the present invention adopts a simple structure, not only solves the oxidation problem and heat dissipation problem of the induction coil during the heating process, but also can provide different reaction atmospheres according to different materials to realize the efficient, stable and continuous heating function of different materials.
[0030] The upper heat preservation mold base, the lower heat preservation mold base and the track kit of the present invention are all made of materials with high modulus and low magnetic conductivity, and the induction furnace cavity and the induction furnace cover are made of glass, which significantly improves the heating efficiency and the safety of material synthesis. In addition, by installing a pressure dividing pad on the induction furnace cover, the problem of poor sealing caused by the deformation of the induction furnace cover due to high heat is overcome. At the same time, by setting a sealing ring, the sealing performance of the induction furnace cover to the induction furnace cavity is further increased.
[0031] The voltage dividing pad, upper heat preservation die holder, lower heat preservation die holder and track kit of the present invention are all made of materials with high modulus and low magnetic conductivity, which not only have good dimensional stability and high temperature resistance characteristics, but also can reduce eddy current loss and local overheating, improving the heating efficiency.
[0032] The present invention uses an outlet adapter and an inlet adapter to connect the hollow induction tube extension tube to both ends of the induction coil, and is connected through a multi-core adapter and the jumper wires of the stepper motor and temperature sensor. Compared with pulling out the induction coil and jumper wires through an opening in the induction furnace cavity, it can play a good sealing and fixing role, increasing the sealing performance of the induction furnace cover to the induction furnace cavity.
[0033] The present invention is provided with a display screen, an alarm lamp and a variety of buttons on the surface of the control system box, which is convenient to obtain real-time data and the operating state of the device during operation at the operation site, and adjust the heating parameters and the motion control of the stepper motor through the buttons, which is more convenient.

It can also be expanded as needed by connecting the control system 37 to a PC for control.
[0070] The control system 37 is used to supply power to the stepper motor 27 and the induction coil 14, control the operation of the stepper motor 27, collect the real-time temperature uploaded by the temperature sensor 21, and set the heating conditions.

For the interface of the software, see Figure 11 , and the parameters of the interface include: "Sample", "Temperature", "Time", "Current", "Voltage", "Frequency", "Flow Rate", and "Cycle". And the interface has the function of outputting induction heating parameters;
[0071] The "Cycle" parameter supports a variety of conventional motion controls. Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , and the motion control includes five forms, namely: None cycle, Trigonometric Wave (abbreviated as Tri Wave), Triangle Wave (abbreviated as Tri Wave), Square Wave (abbreviated as Squ Wave), and SelfDefine control;
[0072] The interface includes nine options, namely "Sample", "Temperature", "Time", "Current", "Voltage", "Frequency", "Flow Rate", "Cycle", and "Setting". Their functions and parameter ranges are shown in Table 1. In the table, "Setting" includes the setting of "Log" log export, default operating parameters, and overload parameters;
[0073] Table 1 Functions and Parameter Ranges of Nine Options
[0074] Option Function Description Parameter Range / Remarks Sample Number of Samples ≤8 Temperature Heating Temperature ≤2400℃ Time Heating Time 0~1800s Cycle Rotation Speed / Current Electric Current 5~100A Voltage Voltage 0~110V Frequency Induction Frequency 1 - 50 kHz Flow Rate Flow Rate of Water - Coolant 10 - 300 mL / s Setting Other Settings /
[0075] Exemplarily, when inputting parameters, press the Up key 47 and the Down key 46 to select an option. After locking the option by pressing the Enter key 44, input the parameters by the numeric keys 45, then press the Enter key 44 to confirm, and it will be automatically saved.
[0076] Example 1
[0077] Taking the heating of 4 samples as an example, place them at intervals on the material tray 28, and use temperature and time as the operating conditions: In the first stage, heat up to 200 °C and run for 15 s; in the second stage, rise to 800 °C and run for 50 s; in the third stage, rise to 1300 °C and run for 360 s; the induction frequency is 30 kHz, and the flow rate of the water cooling liquid is 100 mL / s; the heating interval between every two samples is 300 s; through the PC, set "Sample" to 4, "Time" to "15", "50", "360" and "300"; "Temperature" to "200", "800" and "1300", without additional setting of voltage, current, induction frequency and water cooling liquid flow rate, and the default physical quantity values are shown in Table 2;
[0078] After the parameter setting is completed, turn the knob 42, and the stepper motor 27 rotates and drives the material tray 28 to rotate until the sample to be heated coincides with the upper heat preservation mold base 15 and the lower heat preservation mold base 17 in the vertical direction. The heating starts, and the indicator light 48 changes from being constantly on to flashing rapidly (3 Hz). After a few seconds, the electromagnetic induction device starts to operate, and the indicator light 57 changes to flashing slowly (1 Hz). The display screen 41 outputs multiple pieces of real-time data. After all 4 materials are synthesized, the induction heating automatically stops, and the water cooling cycle continues for heat dissipation. When the water temperature and the temperature of the hollow induction tube drop to the default temperature shown in Table 2, the water cooling cycle stops, the indicator light 48 becomes constantly on, disconnect the connection between the water tank and the cold water inlet 39, press the Up key 47, turn on the water pump, drain the water in the electromagnetic induction device, the indicator light 57 goes out, and turn off the electromagnetic induction device;
[0079] During the heating process, when an abnormality occurs in the electromagnetic induction device, such as current overload, temperature abnormality or motor jamming, the alarm light 49 flashes rapidly, and the control system 37 disconnects the connection between the stepper motor 27 and the induction coil 14 and the power supply to stop heating.
[0080] Table 2 shows the default physical quantity values during the operation of the electromagnetic induction device. The water cooling stop condition is triggered when the temperature conditions of both "water temperature" and "hollow induction tube" are met;
