Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an oven, in particular to an oven with internal circulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] The oven is a testing device for testing the performance of product materials at constant temperature. The existing oven, as shown in patent 201110038545.8, is mainly composed of a heat conduction layer and a temperature control device. The heat conduction layer uses water or air as a medium for temperature control, so that the inner constant temperature cavity maintains a constant temperature under the heat transfer of the heat conduction layer. At the same time, the heat conduction layer and the temperature control device are in communication with each other and the medium is in a circulating flow state. The temperature control device heats or cools the medium based on the temperature in the constant temperature cavity, so as to keep the temperature in the constant temperature cavity constant by adjusting the temperature of the medium in the heat conduction layer.

[0003] Due to the heat transfer and temperature control of the constant temperature cavity by the heat conduction layer, the temperature of the constant temperature cavity near the heat conduction layer is more easily affected by the heat conduction layer, and the temperature value tends to be closer to the medium temperature in the heat conduction layer. The heat transfer effect of the center part of the constant temperature cavity is relatively weakened due to its relatively far distance from the heat conduction layer region, resulting in a larger temperature deviation in this region than in the edge region. Based on this structural defect, the current treatment method is to install a circulating fan in the constant temperature cavity, so as to change the air in the constant temperature cavity from a static state to a flowing state by using the circulating fan, and to mix and replace the air near the heat conduction layer region and the air near the center region of the constant temperature cavity during the flowing process, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the constant temperature cavity as a whole.

[0004] However, the defect of this structure is that, since the constant temperature cavity is generally a completely sealed cuboid structure in normal state, and the circulating fan needs to be placed at the edge position of the constant temperature cavity during installation; this makes the air in the constant temperature cavity not to realize efficient heat exchange between the edge region and the center region with a specified air flow direction under the action of the circulating fan, but tends to flow freely in a disordered state in the constant temperature cavity, thereby reducing the uniform temperature effect of the constant temperature cavity.

[0036] The working principle of the present application is as follows: when installing, the operator first fixes the bottom plate 5 at the bottom of the constant-temperature cavity through the cooperation of the support seat 11 and the adapter nut 13, and then connects the side plate 6, the top plate 7 and the inner plate 8 to form a frame structure and places them together on the bottom plate 5. After the baffle group is formed, the operator can adjust the lateral position of the side plate 6 according to the need, so as to change the spacing distance between the side plate 6 and the constant-temperature cavity. During the lateral movement of the side plate 6, the top plate 7 and the inner plate 8 are supported by the support pipe 17 and are not directly connected with the bottom plate 5, so that they do not interfere with the lateral movement of the side plate 6, that is, the lateral movement effect of the side plate 6 is ensured. At the same time, through the structural cooperation of the guide groove 14 and the adapter nut 13, the side plate 6 can also be limited, so that the side plate 6 will not deviate during the lateral movement.

[0037] After the side plate 6 is laterally moved to the position, the operator tightens the fixed plate 15 through the second screw 16, so that the fixed plate 15 fixes the side plate 6 and the bottom plate 5 after being tightened, and ensures that the side plate 6 and the bottom plate 5 are perpendicular to each other. After the side plate 6 is fixed, the operator pulls the inner plate 8 downward and screws the second screw 23, so that the inner plate 8 can exert a downward extrusion force on the top plate 7 through the flexible rubber pad 21 after being fixed, so as to press the upper end of the side plate 6 by the top plate 7, avoiding the inclination or deviation of the side plate 6. After the top plate 7 is pressed, the operator immediately screws the first screw 18 and makes it fit with the first folded edge 19, so as to limit the lateral position of the top plate 7 by the two first screws 18, avoiding the movement of the top plate 7. Through the above cooperation, the baffle group can be connected and fixed after the side plate 6 is laterally moved to the position, and the joint thereof can be sealed, so as to ensure the stability of the circulating flow of air in the uniform-temperature channel.

[0038] When in use, the circulating fan 10 rotates to drive the air in the storage cavity 3 to enter the air guide opening 4 from the protective net 9; the air flows to the gap around the baffle group after entering the air guide opening 4, and then moves along the air guide opening 4 to the other end of the baffle group and then enters the storage cavity 3 again, so as to realize the exchange of air in the air guide opening 4 and the storage cavity 3. Since the air in the air guide opening 4 around is close to the water jacket 1, the temperature thereof is relatively closer to the temperature of the constant-temperature medium in the water jacket 1; and through the circulating flow of air in the uniform-temperature channel, the air in the air guide opening 4 and the storage cavity 3 can be exchanged and mixed with each other, so that the temperature in the storage cavity 3 and the temperature in the air guide opening 4 tend to be consistent, and the temperature uniformity of different regions in the constant-temperature cavity is improved.
