Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of heat transfer, and in particular relates to a temperature damage detection method and a temperature measuring device based on an optimized vacuum sintering furnace. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum sintering technology combines vacuum technology with sintering process, which can significantly improve the performance of metal materials and workpieces. Vacuum sintering furnace is one of the key equipment for the production of special powder metallurgy and ceramic products, among which furnace temperature uniformity is the main indicator of the heating performance of the reaction vacuum furnace. The structure of the insulation system has an important influence on the furnace temperature uniformity, and the heat insulation screen is its core component. It is located in the furnace of the vacuum furnace as a whole, which can prevent heat loss and reduce the temperature difference in the furnace, which has an important influence on improving the temperature uniformity of the vacuum sintering furnace.

[0003] However, when simulating the improvement of thermal insulation performance after adopting different thermal insulation structures, it is generally carried out on the basis of the original equipment (not optimized), that is, there is only experimental data of the original equipment, and no experimental data after adopting the new structure. This leads to the lack of an accurate one-dimensional data model of the thermal insulation screen temperature drop when predicting the performance parameters of the sintering furnace after adopting the optimized structure. The thermal insulation screen structure has a great influence on the temperature control and heat dissipation loss of the sintering furnace, and according to the material output results, the most suitable thermal insulation screen equipment parameters are not matched.

[0004] If the insulation layer of the vacuum sintering furnace is set too thick or not thick enough during operation, it may affect the yield of the workpiece and the service life of the equipment, and greatly increase the energy consumption.

[0005] When the vacuum sintering furnace is sintering materials, there are slight differences depending on the structure of the workpiece being produced, so the sintering temperature fluctuates within a certain range, resulting in large fluctuations in the yield of the product. The heat insulation screen parameters of the furnace are generally fixed parameters, which affects the production results of the material. The heat insulation screen in the vacuum sintering furnace is generally composed of graphite plates and carbon felt, which is relatively easy to disassemble. Therefore, a simulation method for the thermal insulation performance of the insulation layer of the vacuum sintering furnace is needed to find the parameter range of the heat insulation screen structure, mainly the thickness of the carbon felt.

[0011] The optimal thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer is used as the length of the temperature measuring device, and a temperature measuring device for the vacuum sintering furnace is constructed.

[0019] Step S2.7: Analyze the carbon felt insulation layer in the effective heating area corresponding to when the iteration stops, and derive a one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The specific implementation of the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples.

[0062] The present application proposes a temperature damage detection method and a temperature measuring device based on an optimized vacuum sintering furnace. In order to further improve the temperature uniformity in the vacuum sintering furnace, the vacuum sintering furnace needs to be structurally optimized. Since the temperature is too high, it is impossible to directly measure the temperature in the effective heating zone after structural optimization. Direct measurement using experimental data requires a large number of experiments, which greatly increases the cost. If there are no specific temperature conditions in the furnace, the life of the structure in the furnace will be affected by the high temperature, and the yield rate will be greatly reduced. In addition, different temperatures are required to adapt to the production of different workpieces. If the original furnace structure is used, since the parameters of its insulation layer are generally fixed, the insulation efficiency of the original scheme may not meet the requirements. As a result, when the final material is output, the temperature loss reaction is incomplete, and the performance of the generated material is relatively different. The present application provides a more accurate insulation layer thickness range based on the one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer.

[0063] Finally, in the prior art, most of the temperature measurements are made using infrared temperature measurement methods. However, since infrared temperature measurement methods do not come into contact with solids, the accuracy of temperature measurement is very poor. When a vacuum sintering furnace is sintering, the temperature can reach over 1500°C. Thermocouples cannot be directly placed in the furnace and cannot withstand high temperatures, making it impossible to detect abnormal conditions in the furnace. In addition, since the workpieces carry some air when they are filled, water vapor will evaporate in the furnace when the air is heated, making it impossible to monitor and predict faults in the furnace and during sintering in real time. Therefore, the present application designs a device that can directly measure the temperature of the insulation layer, predict the temperature in the furnace, and predict damage factors in the furnace.

[0064] Embodiment 1:

[0065] This application proposes a temperature damage detection method based on an optimized vacuum sintering furnace, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0066] Step S1: establishing a heat radiation and heat conduction model of the vacuum sintering furnace during the heating process according to the parameters of the vacuum sintering furnace body, and obtaining a temperature rise curve and a workpiece temperature according to the heat radiation and heat conduction model;

[0067] In this embodiment, the heat radiation and heat conduction models are calculated as follows:

[0068] The pressure in the vacuum sintering furnace is 101325Pa before the coke is discharged, and the vacuum degree is 50Pa after the coke is discharged. Ignoring the convection heat transfer, the energy equation is:

[0069]

[0070] Where t is time, unit: s; ρ is density, unit: kg / m 3 ; h is the specific enthalpy, the unit is kj / kg, h = ∫C p dT, where C p is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure J / (kg·K); is the Hamiltonian operator; u is the velocity vector, in m / s; λ is the thermal conductivity, in W / (m·K); T is the temperature, in K; S h is the internal heat source, unit is W / m 3 , the thermal physical properties of the materials are shown in Table 1.

[0071] Using the discrete ordinate DO radiation model, the radiation heat transfer model is:

[0072]

[0073] Where I is the radiation intensity, in W / m 2 ; r is the normal vector of the radiation azimuth; s is the length vector of the radiation along the path; s′ is the scattering direction; α is the material absorption coefficient; σs is the heat dissipation coefficient; n is the refractive coefficient; σ is the blackbody radiation constant; Ω′ is the radiation solid angle.

[0074] Table 1 Thermophysical properties of materials

[0075]

[0076] UDF was used to simulate the temperature rise curve and power control for computational heat transfer. The energy equation and discrete ordinate DO radiation model were turned on. Temperature monitoring points were set on the workpiece to obtain the temperature rise curve of the vacuum sintering furnace during the entire heating process.

[0077] The accuracy of the simulation process is verified by comparing the temperature of the temperature sensor and the temperature rise curve measured during the simulation and actual heating process.

[0078] The process of obtaining the workpiece temperature rise curve and the average temperature difference of all workpieces to optimize the original furnace type is as follows: Under the production process requirement that the temperature difference between the surface and the core of the same workpiece is less than 5°C, a group that best matches the actual production curve is selected as the reference process curve, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0079] Step S2: Use different insulation structures to optimize the vacuum sintering furnace structure, use parameter iteration method to predict the temperature of the vacuum sintering furnace after structure optimization, and derive a one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0080] Step S2.1: Use Fluent software to calculate the first total heat flux Q1 of the carbon felt insulation layer in the effective heating area of ​​the vacuum sintering furnace after structural optimization and the first furnace workpiece temperature T SIC1 ;

[0081] Step S2.2: Establish a finite element model of the vacuum sintering furnace after structural optimization, and transform the first heat flux total Q1 and the first furnace workpiece temperature T SIC1 As boundary conditions, the transient temperature of each layer (10 mm per layer) of graphite plate and carbon felt insulation layer is calculated;

[0082] Step S2.3: averaging the transient temperatures of each layer of the graphite plate and the carbon felt insulation layer to obtain the temperature T = {T1, T2, ..., Tx} of each layer of the carbon felt insulation layer;

[0083] Step S2.4: Calculate the heat flux Q of the two layers based on the temperature T6 of the first layer of the carbon felt insulation layer and the temperature T7 of the second layer. cross ;

[0084] Step S2.5: Take the heat flux Q of the two layers crossAs the initial condition, calculate the second total heat flux Q2 of the carbon felt insulation layer in the effective heating area and the temperature of the workpiece in the second furnace T SIC2 ;

[0085] Step S2.6: When the difference between the first heat flux total amount and the second heat flux total amount is less than the preset heat flux total amount threshold value (i.e., Q cross and Q come When the temperature difference between the workpiece in the first furnace and the workpiece in the second furnace is less than the preset temperature threshold, the iteration is stopped, the corresponding carbon felt insulation layer in the effective heating area is output, and the process goes to step S2.7; otherwise, the second total heat flux is used as the first total heat flux, the workpiece temperature in the second furnace is used as the workpiece temperature in the first furnace, and the process goes to step S2.2 to continue the iteration;

[0086] Step S2.7: Analyze the carbon felt insulation layer in the effective heating area corresponding to when the iteration stops, and derive a one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer.

[0087] A one-dimensional performance simulation calculation model of the vacuum sintering furnace after the structure is changed is established and calibrated. A three-dimensional FLUENT simulation calculation model in the vacuum sintering furnace corresponding to the model established in step S1, including a turbulence model, a viscosity model, and a radiation model, is established and calibrated. The water-cooled wall temperature, room temperature, and heating body power set in the established one-dimensional model are used as the initial temperature boundary conditions for the three-dimensional simulation calculation.

[0088] Obtain the initial data of the workpiece, the data of the insulation time point in the sintering furnace and the data when the chemical reaction occurs, the three-dimensional model of the equipment, the process data of the sintering process and the ideal state data of the product output furnace, organize the temperature curve of the workpiece when it is insulated inside the sintering furnace, collect the data of the workpiece at multiple insulation nodes, and the parameter data when the equipment is in normal operation includes the input operation instructions of the equipment and the data that changes at each node inside the equipment when it is running; establish a finite element model of the vacuum sintering furnace after structural optimization, and simulate the treatment of the insulation layer of different workpiece structures, and change the physical property parameters of the grid corresponding to the insulation area into the parameters of the new insulation layer;

[0089] A forward simulation operation model and a reverse simulation operation model are established. The three-dimensional model of the equipment is combined with the operation rule data of the equipment to form a reverse simulation operation model. The operation rule data is the operation data of normal materials in the furnace to obtain normal results. The feature extraction process is reversed, and the output result is substituted into the one-dimensional performance simulation calculation model of carbon felt obtained in step S2.7 to obtain the reverse operation rule. The feature extraction process is carried out forward, from the input condition to the output result direction to obtain the forward operation rule; the dynamic instruction data is combined to control the simulation operation model to simulate the sintering of the workpiece in the sintering furnace, and obtain simulation data, compare the simulation data with the optimal data range, and adjust the heat insulation screen parameters of the vacuum sintering furnace operation process based on the simulation data analysis results.

[0090] The workpiece data includes: workpiece shape, physical parameters, normal temperature, humidity, etc., and the equipment data includes: furnace vacuum, furnace temperature, and humidity. This embodiment adopts a reverse reaction, that is, first obtains the ideal reaction temperature, final temperature, and humidity of the product, uses a one-dimensional mathematical model of the temperature between each layer of carbon felt insulation layer, derives the appropriate range of carbon felt layers, and uses forward simulation to determine the impact of specific equipment parameters on the output results.

[0091] Step S3: According to the one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer, the temperature rise curve and the workpiece temperature, the thickness range of the carbon felt insulation layer at different sintering temperatures is calculated using the reverse simulation principle, and then the optimal thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer is obtained within the thickness range of the carbon felt insulation layer at different sintering temperatures using the forward simulation, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 ,include:

[0092] Step S3.1: for the finite element model of the vacuum sintering furnace after structural optimization, the one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer, the temperature rise curve and the workpiece temperature are input, and the value range of the thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer at different sintering temperatures is calculated using the inverse simulation principle;

[0093] Step S3.2: forward simulation is performed on the finite element model of the vacuum sintering furnace after structural optimization according to the desired thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer, and the thickness that makes the temperature in the furnace most uniform is selected as the optimal thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer within the range of carbon felt insulation layer thickness.

[0094] Step S4: using the optimal thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer as the length of the temperature measuring device, constructing a temperature measuring device for the vacuum sintering furnace, using multiple temperature measuring devices to measure the temperature of the vacuum sintering furnace, and obtaining temperature damage detection results based on the measurement results.

[0095] The one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer is derived, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0100] According to the one-dimensional performance simulation model of the carbon felt insulation layer, the temperature rise curve and the workpiece temperature, the thickness range of the carbon felt insulation layer at different sintering temperatures is calculated by using the reverse simulation principle, and then the optimal thickness of the carbon felt insulation layer is obtained in the thickness range of the carbon felt insulation layer at different sintering temperatures by using the forward simulation.

Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, a temperature measuring device based on the optimized vacuum sintering furnace is inserted into the longitudinal temperature measuring hole, such as Fig.10 , Fig.11As shown, it includes: a quartz tube 1, a tungsten connecting rod 2, a tungsten push rod 3, an armored thermocouple 8, a high-temperature resistant ceramic tube, and a thermal resistance humidity sensor 9. The inlet end of the quartz tube 1 adopts a conventional cylindrical shape, and the outlet end of the right end adopts a pointed shape in order to better insert into the carbon felt layer. Three stage bases are provided at the inlet, middle and outlet positions of the quartz tube 1. The stage bases are all provided with pin holes, and the pin holes are connected by pins to fix the stage base with the quartz tube 1 to prevent the stage from shifting during insertion. An armored thermocouple 8 is installed on the stage, and its direction is toward the heating direction in the furnace. In order to achieve safe measurement and protection of the thermocouple wires and the humidity sensor wires in a high temperature environment, the thermocouple wires and the humidity sensor wires are in the ceramic tube inside the tungsten connecting rod 2, and each ceramic tube is provided with 2 wires. This embodiment proposes a temperature measuring device based on an optimized vacuum sintering furnace, and its technical solution is detailed as follows:

[0116] First, process the thermocouple wires and humidity sensor wires, and use wire strippers or electrician's knife to accurately strip the insulation layer at the end of the wire. The stripping length needs to be determined according to the size and shape of the high-temperature resistant ceramic tube socket to be inserted later, to ensure that the conductor can be fully and smoothly inserted into the socket, and form a smooth cone transition part, so that the wire can be smoothly inserted into the ceramic tube for protection.

[0117] Next, the core structure of the device includes a quartz tube 1, a tungsten connecting rod 2, a tungsten push rod 3 and a thermocouple stage 5 (graphite stage), as shown in FIG. Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown. The side of the graphite stage is designed with two transverse through holes, each of which is equipped with a tungsten connecting rod 2, and the stage and the two tungsten connecting rods 2 are movably connected. One end of the two tungsten connecting rods 2 is fixed in the transverse through hole of the entrance stage 4, and the other end is fixed in the transverse through hole of the exit stage 6, ensuring the stability of the structure and the continuity of wire transmission. It is important that the left head end of the tungsten connecting rod 2 is equipped with external circuit terminals, which are led out through the high-temperature resistant ceramic tube buried inside the tungsten rod, which not only protects the safety of the line, but also ensures the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0118] In addition, the entrance stage 4 and the exit stage 6 are respectively fixed at the entrance and exit of the quartz tube 1. They and the side of the movable thermocouple stage 5 are designed with transverse through holes for installing the tungsten connecting rod 2. The movable thermocouple stage 5 is the main part of the temperature measuring device, on which there is a thermocouple 8 for measuring the temperature inside the insulation layer, a thermal resistance humidity sensor 9, which is used to determine whether the temperature at this moment is affected by humidity and produces errors, and a tungsten push rod 3 connected to an external cylinder 17 for realizing the movement of the thermocouple inside the quartz tube to determine the damage inside the insulation layer. Among them, the thermocouple bracket 10 is used as a limit device to fix the thermocouple 8. The thermocouple 8 is covered with an armored protective tube 13, and the temperature measuring point 14 is inside the armored protective tube 13. The material of the temperature measuring point 14 is R-type iron-nickel alloy 15. The temperature data measured by the electric thermocouple 8 is transmitted to the temperature processing system 16 for processing. Fig.15 shown.

[0119] In summary, this embodiment, through a carefully designed structure, not only achieves safe transmission and measurement of thermocouple wires and humidity sensor wires in a high temperature environment, but also ensures the horizontal mobility and measurement accuracy of the temperature measuring device.
