[0037] When in use, the lifting motor 101 can drive the winding shaft to rotate through the sprocket 102 and the chain, and then can drive the furnace door body 105 to rise or fall through lifting, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the furnace door body 105.
[0038] Two cylinders 106 are symmetrically rotatably connected on both sides of the outer surface of the furnace shell 3, and the movable end of the cylinder 106 is rotatably connected to a special-shaped pressure rod 107.

[0040] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the internal cooling circulation device 6 includes a stainless steel heat exchanger 602 arranged on the outside of the furnace shell 3, and one side of the outer surface of the furnace shell 3 is fixed with two flange openings that are interconnected, one end of a single flange opening is fixedly connected to one end of the stainless steel heat exchanger 602, and the other end of the stainless steel heat exchanger 602 is fixedly connected to an internal cooling fan 603, a fan 604 is installed inside the internal cooling fan 603, and a high-temperature pneumatic butterfly valve 601 is fixedly connected between the other end of the internal cooling fan 603 and another flange opening.
[0041] There are two flange openings extending from the back wall of the tempering furnace. When the workpiece needs internal cooling, open the high-temperature pneumatic butterfly valve 601, turn on the internal cooling fan 603, and exchange heat through the stainless steel heat exchanger 602. The hot air in the furnace can be extracted and transported into cold air, so that the furnace temperature can be quickly cooled, the total tempering process time can be greatly reduced, and the efficiency can be improved. Example 4
[0042] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the rapid smoke exhaust system 8 includes two jet tubes 801 that are fixedly installed on the top and side of the furnace shell 3.

The blower 803 can blow air out of the jet pipe 801. The air volume entering the furnace is controlled by the manual ball valve 804. According to the size of the jet, the oil smoke in the furnace is quickly discharged from the exhaust port 7 and then discharged into the smoke hood, thereby ensuring the appearance of the workpiece.

[0045] In order to prevent the workpiece from oxidation, nitrogen and ammonia cracking gas are used as the protective atmosphere, and the ammonia cracking gas is prepared by the ammonia cracking device 9. The nitrogen flow controller 1002, ammonia flow controller 1003 and air flow controller 1004 can control the speed of nitrogen, ammonia cracking gas and air entering in turn. After the workpiece enters the furnace, the nitrogen is replaced, and then the ammonia cracking gas is introduced for protection. The equipment is equipped with a set of automatic exhaust ignition and flame detection devices, which can automatically ignite the flame and keep the flame burning when the process is carried out to the ammonia cracking gas filling. If the flame goes out during the process, an alarm is given immediately to warn the user and deal with the fault as soon as possible. Prevent safety accidents caused by leakage of ammonia cracking gas.
[0046] Working principle: When in use, the lifting motor 101 can drive the winding shaft to rotate through the sprocket 102 and the chain, and then can drive the furnace door body 105 to rise or fall by lifting, so as to realize the opening and closing of the furnace door body 105. After the workpiece is placed in the furnace, the furnace door body 105 is closed. When the furnace door body 105 is closed, the cylinders 106 on both sides are started. The cylinders 106 running under the limit of the connecting block 108 can drive the special-shaped pressure rods 107 to rotate, so that the pressure blocks 109 on both sides of the furnace door body 105 can be pressed, and then the furnace door body 105 can be pressed tightly against the furnace shell 3, thereby improving the sealing of the entire high-temperature tempering furnace.
[0047] When the workpiece requires an internal cooling process, open the high-temperature pneumatic butterfly valve 601, turn on the internal cooling fan 603, and exchange heat through the stainless steel heat exchanger 602 to extract the hot air in the furnace and transport it into cold air, so that the furnace temperature can be quickly cooled, greatly reducing the total tempering process time and improving efficiency.
[0048] When the workpiece is tempered at high temperature after quenching, oil smoke will be generated. Open the high-temperature electric ball valve 802 and turn on the hair dryer 803. The hair dryer 803 can blow air out from the jet tube 801. The amount of air entering the furnace is controlled by the manual ball valve 804. According to the size of the jet, the oil smoke in the furnace is quickly discharged from the exhaust gas outlet 7 and then discharged into the smoke hood, thereby ensuring the appearance of the workpiece; when there is no oil smoke in the furnace, close the high-temperature electric ball valve 802 to ensure the sealing effect of the furnace.
[0049] In order to prevent the workpiece from oxidation, nitrogen and ammonia cracking gas are used as the protective atmosphere. The ammonia cracking gas is prepared by the ammonia cracking device 9. The nitrogen flow controller 1002, ammonia flow controller 1003 and air flow controller 1004 can control the speed of nitrogen, ammonia cracking gas and air entering in turn. After the workpiece enters the furnace, nitrogen is replaced, and then ammonia cracking gas is introduced for protection. The equipment is equipped with a set of automatic exhaust ignition and flame detection devices, which can automatically ignite the flame when the process is carried out to fill the ammonia cracking gas and keep the flame burning. If the flame goes out during the process, an alarm is given immediately to warn the user and handle the fault as soon as possible. Prevent safety accidents caused by leakage of ammonia cracking gas.
