Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment equipment, and in particular to a heat treatment furnace and a heat-insulating furnace door system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Closed heat treatment furnaces are widely used because of their low energy consumption (less heat loss, more energy-saving and environmentally friendly) and good high-temperature stability (they can maintain the set temperature range in the furnace for a long time with little fluctuation).

[0003] In the prior art, a closed heat treatment furnace includes a carrying system for carrying workpieces and a furnace door lifting system for opening and closing the heat treatment furnace; the general structure of the carrying system is a carrying trolley (trolley); before heat treatment, the workpieces need to be placed one by one on the carrying trolley, and then the furnace door is opened and pushed into the heat treatment furnace for treatment. After the heat treatment is completed, the workpieces are pulled out of the carrying trolley and the workpieces that have completed the heat treatment are removed one by one.

[0004] In order to be suitable for workpieces of different sizes, the box size of a closed heat treatment furnace is usually designed to be larger; during use, due to the large box size of this heat treatment furnace, the entire furnace body needs to be heated even when the workpiece size is small, and the heating space cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the workpiece size, resulting in energy consumption and increased costs; in response to the above problems, a Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN115341084B discloses a heat treatment furnace, the bottom of the heat treatment furnace body is through-opened, the four side walls and the top of the furnace body are all provided with a refractory and heat-insulating furnace lining, and a heating device is arranged on the top of the furnace body; a lifting platform is located directly below the furnace body for the lifting of a trolley inside the furnace body, and the edge of the trolley is matched with the gap of the furnace lining when the trolley is lifted inside the furnace body; a distance meter is also provided on the top of the furnace body for measuring the distance between the upper surface of the trolley and the furnace top, which can flexibly adjust the lifting height of the trolley according to the specific workpiece size without heating the entire furnace body, thereby reducing heat treatment energy consumption, optimizing energy configuration, and reducing energy consumption costs.

[0005] Although the above scheme reduces the energy consumption of heat treatment to a certain extent and thus reduces the energy consumption cost, its carrying capacity for heat-treated workpieces is poor, and the number of workpieces that can be processed at a single time is small; and the above scheme requires the lifting platform to be lifted and lowered in the furnace, and the furnace needs to have a higher temperature during the heat treatment process, which makes the lifting platform in the furnace susceptible to thermal damage, with a high failure rate, high maintenance cost and relatively short service life, which is not conducive to promotion.

[0006] Therefore, a heat treatment furnace is needed which has low energy consumption cost during the heat treatment process, good high-temperature stability, can carry a large number of workpieces in a single heat treatment furnace, and has a relatively long service life. Summary of the invention

The longitudinal section is in the shape of a straight line, a square, an I-shape, an L-shape, or a C-shape; during use, one of the surfaces of the in-furnace guide bars 110 parallel to the horizontal ground contacts the bottom wheels of the carrying trolley.

[0065] Further, as Figure 7 shown, the surface of the in-furnace guide bars 110 that contacts the carrying trolley is rough (sealed patterns, protrusions, and / or grooves) to prevent slipping.

[0066] Preferably, the distance between each group of in-furnace guide bars 110 is 30 to 50 centimeters.

The existence of the wheels enables the carrying trolley to move on the carrying lifting platform and the guide rails 110 in the furnace. An end fixing ring 440 is fixed to the rear end of the carrying trolley (the end near the furnace door that enters the horizontal furnace body 100). The end fixing ring 440 is a horizontally arranged hard ring body that is fixed in the middle position of the end of the carrying trolley, and is used to facilitate the use of a hook to hook the carrying trolley and thereby assist the carrying trolley in moving (pushing in and pulling out).

[0076] Furthermore, the surface of the wheel body is rough.

[0077] Preferably, end fixing rings 440 are fixed to both the front and rear ends of the load-bearing trolley.

[0088] Further, the driving vehicle includes a base vehicle 510, a side load block 520, a combination rod 530, a limit compression spring 540, an end clamp 550, a load block shifting assembly and a side wheel driving assembly 570;
