DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The present invention is a multifunctional sustainable heating laboratory equipment, which is widely used and can meet the needs of different fields and research. The heating device uses the Joule effect of the conductive material to perform precise temperature control heating, which can realize long-term heating of the material, or alternating temperature heating, and realize the needs of the scientific research field for material processing of different materials at continuous high temperature or alternating temperature.

[0028] like Figure 8-9 As shown, a precise circulation temperature control and heating device comprises a water-cooling cavity 1 and a water-cooling cavity door 2 movably connected to the water-cooling cavity 1, an inner graphite insulation felt 3 is installed inside the water-cooling cavity 1, an outer graphite insulation felt 4 is installed on the inner wall of the water-cooling cavity door 2, a copper electrode 5 is installed on the outer wall of the water-cooling cavity door 2, the inner end of the copper electrode 5 passes through the water-cooling cavity door 2 and the outer graphite insulation felt 4, a graphite heater 6 is installed at the end of the copper electrode 5 located on the inner side of the outer graphite insulation felt 4, a sample slot for accommodating a sample is provided on the graphite heater 6, and a serrated gap is provided at intervals at the sample slot.

[0029] Since most of the heaters on the market are boat-shaped, with a large cross-sectional area, their resistance is relatively small, and the maximum heating temperature can be heated to 2000°C. In addition, due to the thermal expansion of graphite, it is easy to be broken by heat at high temperatures. Figure 3 As shown;

[0030] The present invention optimizes the structure of the graphite heater 6. By optimizing the heater structure, the square groove structure is changed into a square groove sawtooth structure, so that the whole heating system is heated more evenly, the heating rate is faster, and the heating temperature is higher. Figure 1 As shown, compared with the boat-shaped heater of the same size, the sawtooth cross-sectional area is reduced and the effective length is increased, the overall resistance value of the heater is greatly improved, and the maximum heating temperature can reach 2500°C. At the same time, due to the tooth structure, the tooth gap of the heater can be compensated to a certain extent when it expands at high temperature, effectively avoiding the thermal expansion stress breakage of the heater at high temperature.

[0031] Furthermore, the square groove structure can be changed into a square ring structure, so that the whole heating system is heated more evenly, the heating rate is faster, and the heating temperature is higher, such as Figure 2 As shown;

[0032] Based on the above, the device effectively cools the water-cooled cavity 1 through the design of the water-cooled cavity 1, providing the heater with a stable and reliable closed heating environment for multiple working conditions such as vacuum / specific atmosphere / specific oxygen concentration. By directly heating the sample in the graphite heater 6 located in the water-cooled cavity 1, the heating rate can reach 40℃ / S, and the maximum temperature can reach 2500℃, which greatly improves the heating rate and maximum temperature. At the same time, the water-cooled cavity 1 adopts a hollow water-cooled structure, so that the graphite heater 6 can be cooled quickly, which provides favorable conditions for the temperature rise / fall alternating temperature test conditions.

[0033] The device is equipped with a mass flow meter, a vacuum system, and an online oxygen concentration detection device, which can achieve precise control of specific atmospheres such as nitrogen, argon and other gases, a vacuum environment with a vacuum degree below 5 Pa, and online oxygen concentration detection functions;

[0034] The graphite heater 6 inside the water-cooled cavity 1 is made of graphite. When the working temperature is below 1000°C, the graphite heater 6 in the cavity heats the sample. When the working temperature is below 1000-2000°C, graphite insulation felt is added inside the heating cavity to reduce power consumption and meet the heater's requirement of providing a stable thermal field.

[0035] A thermal imaging water-cooling window assembly 7 is installed on the top of the water-cooling cavity 1, a thermal imaging element 8 is arranged above the thermal imaging water-cooling window assembly 7, and an infrared thermometer 9 is arranged on the rear side of the water-cooling cavity 1 to monitor the actual temperature of the thermal field in the cavity and form a closed-loop control.

[0036] Based on the above, most common heating devices are closed, which makes it inconvenient to measure the temperature of the heated sample. Even if the temperature is measured, it is only measured at one point through a thermocouple or a thermometer. The present invention adds a thermal imaging function. Through the thermal imaging water-cooled window assembly 7, the thermal imaging equipment can monitor the heating conditions of the entire area of ​​the sample, and can directly observe and record the heating process of the sample more directly.

[0037] Furthermore, the working process of the present invention is: open the water-cooled chamber cover, place the sample in the graphite heater 6, or place the sample in a boron nitride (or other material) ark, and then place it in the graphite heater 6, close the water-cooled chamber door 2, and set the vacuum, specific atmosphere, etc. according to the specific working conditions to heat the sample. According to the set temperature control program, the graphite heater 6 is quickly heated after being powered on, wherein the water cooling system cools down the copper electrode 5, the water-cooled chamber 1, and the observation window for protection, and the infrared thermometer and the thermal imaging system monitor the heater temperature in real time to complete the heating treatment of the sample.

[0038] Based on the above, when the graphite heater 6 is heated in air, the graphite will produce a carbonization reaction when the temperature exceeds 400°C. According to experiments, when the graphite heater 6 is heated to 1100°C in air, the continuous heating time is about 2 hours and severe carbonization damage occurs, resulting in heater failure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown;

[0039] Therefore, the graphite heater 6 is processed in the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: bake the common graphite heater 6 with sawtooth gap in a baking oven at 300 degrees for 1 hour;

[0041] Step 2: wipe the surface of the graphite heater 6 clean, put it into the anti-oxidation coating, seal it and soak it for 3 hours, then take it out and dry it naturally;

[0042] Step 3: After the graphite heater 6 is dried, let it stand for 12 hours and then place it in a baking oven at 100 degrees Celsius for 1 hour;

[0043] Step 4: The dried graphite heater 6 is sealed and immersed in a secondary anti-oxidation coating for 3 hours, taken out and dried naturally, and then left to stand for 12 hours;

[0044] Step 5: The dried graphite heater 6 is sealed and immersed in a secondary anti-oxidation coating for 3 hours, taken out and naturally dried, and then left to stand for 12 hours to obtain a finished product.

[0045] According to the graphite oxidation principle, a high-temperature resistant anti-oxidation coating is applied to the surface of the graphite heater 6 for surface anti-oxidation treatment, so that during the heating process, the graphite surface of the graphite heater 6 is isolated from the air due to the effect of the coating, thereby avoiding oxidation of the graphite heater 6 at high temperatures and increasing the service life of the heater.

[0046] When the graphite heater 6 treated with the anti-oxidation coating is heated to 1100°C in air, its service life increases from 2 hours to about 16 hours. Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the treated graphite heater 6 has been partially ablated and slightly deformed after heating, but has not been broken or damaged as a whole, which greatly improves the heating service life of the heater in the air.

[0048] Furthermore, the anti-oxidation coating is one of a penetrating graphite antioxidant, a graphite anti-oxidation coating or a boron nitride release spray;

[0049] Among them, the penetrating graphite antioxidant ZS-1052 graphite antioxidant adopts resin main chain melting technology. The cross-linked hydroxyl silicone fluorine resin main chain is evenly melted under high temperature and high pressure, and decomposed into nano-scale monomer resin. The modified resin can form a film alone, has a large number of functional groups, and has extremely strong permeability in graphite and good wrapping, which can effectively prevent oxides from contacting graphite and prevent graphite oxidation loss. It has an extremely low oxygen threshold, resistance to slag and high-temperature debris erosion and penetration erosion, and an oxygen diffusion rate of more than 96%. It prevents graphite oxidation corrosion and protects graphite from oxidation in high-temperature oxidizing atmospheres and molten liquids to extend its service life.

[0050] The graphite anti-oxidation coating is RLHY-305 graphite anti-oxidation coating, which is a high-temperature ceramic coating formed after polymerization reaction, high-temperature sintering and crushing. It can seal the graphite for oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and extend the life of graphite products.

[0051] The boron nitride release spray is JD-3028 boron nitride release spray, which can provide effective anti-oxidation protection for the graphite surface, prevent graphite oxidation loss, and protect the use of graphite in high temperature environment.
