Figure 1 The heat treatment furnace includes a high-temperature furnace body 1, a thyristor regulating circuit 2, a thermocouple 3 and an input display module 4. The number of thermocouples 3 and thyristor regulating circuit 2 is at least two. Among the multiple thermocouples 3, at least one thermocouple 3 uses a device with a temperature measurement function such as a thermistor to detect the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1, and obtains the detected temperature data and outputs it to the thyristor regulating circuit 2; and at least one thermocouple 3 uses a device with a temperature adjustment function such as a resistance wire to receive a preset adjustment signal output by the thyristor regulating circuit 2 to adjust the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1.

With the development of integrated circuit technology, some protocols that belong to the external bus (E-Bus) protocol are also classified as internal protocols after the external bus (E-Bus) is integrated into the chip.

[0032] Reference Figure 1A turning drive member 11 is fixedly connected to the high temperature furnace body 1. The turning drive member 11 is a high temperature resistant motor. The rotating shaft of the turning drive member 11 penetrates the side wall of the high temperature furnace body 1 and extends into the high temperature furnace body 1. A turning blade 12 for turning the material is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the turning drive member 11 in the high temperature furnace body 1 to turn the material in the high temperature furnace body 1. The inner wall of the high temperature furnace body 1 is covered with a stainless steel liner 13. The high temperature furnace body 1 is filled with an inert gas, such as argon, to prevent oxidation of the material.

[0033] The implementation principle of a heat treatment furnace in Example 1 of the present application is: temperature detection is performed through at least one thermocouple 3 to obtain detected temperature data, which is displayed to the user through the thyristor adjustment circuit 2 and the input display module 4; then, an adjustment signal is output to other thermocouples 3 through the thyristor adjustment circuit 2, and temperature adjustment control is performed through other thermocouples 3. At the same time, a flipping signal is output to control the rotation shaft of the flipping drive member 11 to flip the material.

[0034] Embodiment 2: Example 2 of the present application discloses a temperature control method for a heat treatment furnace. Figure 2 , the temperature control method of the heat treatment furnace includes the following steps: S1. Obtaining detected temperature data; S11, determining temperature adjustment data by detecting temperature data and a preset heat treatment temperature threshold; S12, determining an adjustment signal based on the temperature adjustment data and a preset temperature adjustment threshold and outputting the signal.

[0035] In detail: the detected temperature data is obtained by collecting the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1 by the electric thermocouple 3 with temperature detection function. The heat treatment temperature threshold is the temperature that theoretically meets the reduction requirements for the memory metal material. The collected detected temperature data is compared with the heat treatment temperature threshold. If the detected temperature data meets the requirements of the heat treatment temperature threshold, it means that the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1 meets the reduction processing conditions of the material, and no additional adjustment is required; if the detected temperature data does not meet the requirements of the heat treatment temperature threshold, it means that the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1 does not meet the reduction processing conditions of the material. At this time, the material in the high-temperature furnace body 1 will not be able to be fully reduced, so It is necessary to increase the temperature in the high-temperature furnace body 1 to the heat treatment temperature threshold, and the difference between the detected temperature data and the heat treatment temperature threshold is the temperature data that needs to be increased, that is, the temperature adjustment data; the temperature adjustment threshold is the corresponding relationship between the working power and temperature of the thermocouple 3 with temperature adjustment function. For example, 100W power generates heat at a rate a, and 1000W power generates heat at a rate b. Although 1000W is ten times 100W, b is not 10 times a. The relationship between them is the temperature adjustment threshold. By associating the temperature adjustment data with the temperature adjustment threshold, you can get how much the current, voltage and power need to be adjusted, which is the adjustment signal.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , further comprising the following steps: S2, obtaining timing data, wherein the number of detected temperature data obtained is multiple; S21, determining a temperature deviation value through a plurality of detected temperature data; S22, determining temperature unevenness coordinate data through the temperature deviation value, the timing data and a preset temperature measurement coordinate threshold; S23, determining and outputting a flip signal according to the temperature unevenness coordinate data, the preset temperature unevenness threshold, the adjustment signal and the preset flipping threshold.

[0037] In detail: multiple detected temperature data are obtained by the thermocouple 3 at different positions, and according to the timing data, the detected temperature data obtained by the thermocouple 3 at adjacent positions at the same time are compared and added and subtracted to obtain the difference, which is the temperature deviation value; the temperature measurement coordinate threshold is the coordinate position of the thermocouple 3 corresponding to each detected temperature data, and the coordinate of the position with the lowest temperature can be obtained by combining the temperature deviation value. For example, the temperature deviation value of the x1 coordinate is -2°C, the temperature deviation value of the x2 coordinate is -5°C, and the temperature deviation value of the x3 coordinate is -1°C, then the x2 coordinate is the temperature unevenness coordinate data, and the temperature unevenness threshold is the temperature value used to determine whether adjustment is needed. The threshold of the temperature deviation value, that is, when the temperature deviation value exceeds the range of the temperature unevenness threshold value, it means that the temperature here is too uneven, which will affect the heating of the material in the high-temperature furnace body 1 and needs to be adjusted. The flipping threshold is the degree of unevenness and the flipping power when correction is required. For example, if the temperature unevenness threshold is ±3°C, the temperature deviation value of the x2 coordinate is -5°C, then the temperature to be adjusted is 2°C. If the flipping threshold is set to a*C, a is the coefficient, C is the temperature that does not need to be adjusted, then the flipping signal that can be obtained at this time is 2a. When the temperature indicated by the adjustment signal is above the heat treatment temperature threshold, a flipping signal is output to flip to make the temperature more uniform.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 , further comprising the following steps: S3, determining the temperature rise breakthrough data by flipping the signal, adjusting the signal, the original temperature unevenness coordinate data, the new temperature unevenness coordinate data and the preset test temperature rise threshold value; S31, determining a new adjustment signal through the temperature rise breakthrough data and the temperature unevenness coordinate data and outputting it; S32, acquiring temperature unevenness coordinate data again, and determining correction data by using new temperature unevenness coordinate data and original temperature unevenness coordinate data; S33, determining the test temperature rise data through the temperature unevenness coordinate data, the correction data, the heat treatment temperature threshold and the preset variable coefficient; S34, determining a new adjustment signal by replacing the temperature rise breakthrough data with the test temperature rise data and outputting it until the temperature unevenness coordinate data is within the range of the temperature unevenness threshold value.

[0039] In detail: after adjustment is made using the original temperature unevenness coordinate data, new temperature unevenness coordinate data is detected again. If the temperature deviation value cannot be reduced only by flipping the signal, a temperature increase adjustment is required, that is, the electric thermocouple 3 with a heating function near the temperature unevenness coordinate data is heated. The temperature that is already within the heat treatment temperature threshold range will be higher than the heat treatment temperature threshold if it is increased again. This is the temperature rise breakthrough data, which usually indicates additional energy consumption. That is, when the temperature is at the heat treatment temperature threshold, the material can be restored. However, due to uneven heating, the temperature needs to be increased to exceed the heat treatment temperature threshold, which means that more electrical energy is consumed to achieve the restoration process. The temperature rise breakthrough data is combined with the temperature unevenness coordinate data to obtain an adjustment signal for heating the electric thermocouple 3 near the temperature unevenness coordinate data and output it for control. Then the temperature is obtained again. Take the temperature unevenness coordinate data, and obtain the correction data through the temperature deviation value in the temperature unevenness coordinate data this time and the temperature deviation value in the temperature unevenness coordinate data obtained last time. For example, the temperature deviation value this time is -4°C, and the temperature deviation value last time is -4.5°C, then the correction data can be 0.5°C, and then the detected temperature data in the temperature unevenness coordinate data is compared with the heat treatment temperature threshold to obtain the difference. By combining this difference with the correction data and the variable coefficient, it can be roughly estimated how much the temperature needs to be increased. Combined with the turning signal to turn the material, the temperature deviation value here can be corrected to within the range of the temperature unevenness threshold, or the detected temperature data here can be within the range of the heat treatment temperature threshold. This is the test temperature rise data, and then return to step S32 to repeat the steps until the temperature deviation value of the temperature unevenness coordinate data is within the range of the temperature unevenness threshold.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 , further comprising the following steps: S4, obtaining an energy-saving mode signal; S41, determining low energy consumption data by testing temperature rise data, a flipping signal, a preset heating energy consumption threshold, and a preset flipping energy consumption threshold; S42, determining a new flip signal or new test temperature rise data through the low energy consumption data, the flip signal, and the test temperature rise data; S43, determining a new flip signal or a new test temperature rise data through the low energy consumption data, the test temperature rise data, the flip signal and the preset switching threshold.

[0041] Detailed: When the user inputs the energy-saving mode signal, the test temperature rise data is calculated with the heating energy consumption threshold to obtain how much electric energy is needed if the temperature continues to rise. The electric energy is calculated with the temperature deviation value that can be reduced to obtain how many units of electric energy are needed to correct one unit. The flip signal is calculated with the flip energy consumption threshold to obtain how much electric energy is needed to increase the flip power. The electric energy is calculated with the temperature deviation value that can be reduced to obtain how many units of electric energy are needed to correct one unit. The two are compared to obtain the same effect. The one with smaller energy consumption is selected, which is the low energy consumption data, so as to determine whether to adjust the temperature or increase the flip power, and decide whether to output the flip signal or test the temperature rise. Data, and when the flip signal or the test temperature rise data is continuously adjusted, resulting in higher and higher energy consumption, until the energy consumption increases to exceed the energy consumption of another mode plus the switching threshold, the adjustment mode will be changed at this time. For example, the original flip signal energy consumption rate is q, and the test temperature rise data energy consumption rate is 2q. At this time, the power of the flip signal will be increased to reduce the temperature deviation value. When the flip signal continues to increase, the ratio of energy consumption to effect continues to increase. If the switching threshold is set to 0.5q, then when the energy consumption rate of the flip signal increases to 2.5q, that is, greater than 2q+0.5q of the test temperature rise data, the adjustment of the flip signal will be stopped and switched to increasing the temperature, that is, the temperature deviation value will be adjusted by testing the temperature rise data.

[0042] Embodiment 2 of the present application discloses a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program capable of being loaded by a processor and executing a temperature control method for a heat treatment furnace.

[0043] Computer-readable storage media include, for example, various media that can store program codes, such as a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
