Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tube furnaces, in particular to a multi-zone temperature-controlled tube furnace. Background Art
[0002] A tubular furnace is a high-temperature heating device with a sealed tubular cavity at its core. It enables processes such as material heat treatment, chemical reactions, and synthesis through precise temperature control. Its core advantages lie in its uniform temperature field, controllable atmosphere, and flexible adaptability. It is widely used in materials science, chemical synthesis, semiconductors, and new energy fields.
[0003] The three-zone tubular furnace is a high-end heat treatment equipment with multiple independent temperature controls. By dividing the furnace into three independent temperature zones: front, middle, and back, it enables temperature gradient control or expansion of a long, uniform temperature zone, making it suitable for complex process scenarios (such as crystal growth and gradient material synthesis). Each zone is equipped with independent silicon carbon rods or silicon molybdenum rods, with an adjustable power distribution ratio (e.g., 30%:40%:30%). Alumina fiber modules separate the temperature zones to reduce thermal interference.
[0004] However, each temperature zone of the existing three-zone tubular furnace uses independent electric heating. Once the electric heating equipment in one temperature zone is damaged, the combustion tube in this temperature zone of the tubular furnace will not be able to be used normally, which has certain disadvantages. In addition, the existing three-zone tubular furnace adopts a single tube design, which can only heat one experimental sample at a time, and the experimental efficiency is low.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] like Figure 1-7As shown, the multi-zone temperature-controlled tubular furnace provided by the present invention comprises: an equipment bin 1 and a heating bin 2 arranged on the top of the equipment bin 1, a plurality of heat insulation plates 6 are installed in the heating bin 2, and the interior of the heating bin 2 is divided into three temperature zones by the heat insulation plates 6. Independent heating sources are arranged in the three temperature zones, and the independent heating sources comprise electric heating rods 7 installed in the heating bin 2. The electric heating rods 7 can select silicon carbon rods / silicon molybdenum rods, and the electric heating rods 7 are electrically connected to the control end 8 installed in the equipment bin 1. Combustion tubes 3 and temperature sensors 9 are respectively installed in the three temperature zones. According to the heating temperature, pipes of different materials can be selected, such as corundum tubes, quartz tubes, etc. Different samples can be placed in the multiple combustion tubes 3 respectively. A through hole 10 is provided on the heat insulation plate 6, and the heat exchange speed on both sides of the heat insulation plate 6 can be accelerated through the through hole 10. A blocking mechanism is provided on one side of the heat insulation plate 6, and the blocking mechanism comprises a blocking plate 11 made of heat insulation material. The blocking plate 11 is connected to an electric push rod 12 installed in the equipment bin 1. When in use, multiple combustion tubes 3 can be Different experimental samples are added respectively, and the electric heating rod 7 is controlled by the control end 8 to heat each temperature zone so that the sample in each combustion tube 3 can reach the designed temperature. The temperature sensor 9 detects the temperature of each temperature zone and transmits the data to the control end 8. The control end 8 controls the start / stop of the electric heating rod 7 in a timely manner. The control program can be designed according to the existing three-temperature zone tube furnace, which will not be described in detail here, so that the temperature of each temperature zone reaches the heating temperature value of each combustion tube 3. If one of the electric heating rods 7 is damaged, the through hole 10 of the adjacent temperature zone (the temperature is higher than the side of the temperature zone) is opened. The specific operation is as follows: the electric push rod 12 is controlled to start, so that its output shaft is shortened and drives the sealing plate 11 to descend, so that the through hole 10 is exposed, and the hot air in the adjacent temperature zone enters the current temperature zone through the through hole 10, realizing rapid heat exchange, replacing the damaged electric heating rod 7 in the current temperature zone, and realizing heating of the combustion tube 3 in the current temperature zone. The heating speed and temperature of the combustion tube 3 can be controlled by controlling the exposure size of the through hole 10. Therefore, even if part of the electric heating rod 7 is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire device. This is beneficial to improving the stability of the device. It is worth noting that this method of use is suitable for short-term replacement use and is not suitable for long-term use. The present invention adopts a multi-tube structural design, which can complete the heating process of multiple samples in each combustion tube 3 at one time, thereby saving experimental time and improving experimental efficiency. It is worth noting that the sample loading and subsequent use process in the combustion tube 3 can refer to the existing tubular furnace usage regulations, which will not be repeated here.
[0046] By setting up an equipment chamber 1 and a heating chamber 2, and setting up an independent heating source in the heating chamber 2, multiple combustion tubes 3 are heated separately, and the heating process of multiple samples can be completed at one time, which is beneficial to improving the experimental speed and efficiency. By setting up a blocking mechanism, the adjacent independent heating source can be used to replace the independent heating source in the adjacent temperature zone, so that the combustion tube 3 in the temperature zone can be heated normally, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, a heat absorption end 13 is installed in the heating chamber 2, a refrigeration device 14 is installed in the equipment chamber 1, and a heat release end 15 is installed at the bottom of the equipment chamber 1. The refrigeration device 14 is connected to the heat absorption end 13 and the heat release end 15. When in use, the refrigeration device 14 can absorb heat from each temperature zone in the heating chamber 2 through the heat absorption end 13 and release heat through the heat release end 15, which can effectively reduce the temperature in the heating chamber 2 and cool the combustion tube 3.
[0049] By providing the heat absorbing end 13 , the refrigeration device 14 and the heat releasing end 15 , the combustion tube 3 can be cooled conveniently.
[0050] Example 3:
[0051] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the heating chamber 2 includes a hinged bottom chamber 4 and an upper cover 5, and the heat insulation board 6 is composed of two half-plates respectively installed on the bottom chamber 4 and the upper cover 5. In order to facilitate the disassembly of the combustion tube 3, a quick fixing mechanism 16 is installed on both sides of the bottom chamber 4. The quick fixing mechanism 16 includes a hinged first arc block 17 and a second arc block 18. The first arc block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom chamber 4, and a positioning groove 20 is opened on one side of the first arc block 17. A pin rod 19 is installed on the second arc block 18. The pin rod 19 is a spring pin and can be pulled outward. When in use, the combustion tube 3 is placed on the arc groove of the first arc block 17, and then the second arc block 18 is flipped over so that the pin rod 19 is aligned with the positioning groove 20, and the pin rod 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 20 to fix the combustion tube 3. Conversely, the combustion tube 3 can be quickly disassembled. This structural design can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the combustion tube 3 and is more convenient to use.
[0052] By providing the quick fixing mechanism 16 , the combustion tube 3 can be quickly installed and disassembled.
[0053] Example 4:
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, a pad 21 is installed on the first arc block 17. The pad 21 is made of soft high-temperature resistant material. When in use, the combustion tube 3 contacts and squeezes the pad 21, so that the combustion tube 3 is flexibly fixed in the quick fixing mechanism 16.
[0055] By installing the spacer block 21 on the first arc-shaped block 17 , the combustion tube 3 can be flexibly fixed in the quick fixing mechanism 16 , thereby reducing surface damage to the combustion tube 3 .
[0056] Example 5:
[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an air inlet connector 22 is installed at the air inlet end of the combustion tube 3, through which an inert gas or other types of gas can be introduced, and a pressure gauge 23 is installed on the air inlet connector 22, through which the air inlet pressure value can be checked. An air outlet connector 24 is installed at the air outlet end of the combustion tube 3, and a valve 25 is installed on the air outlet connector 24. The valve 25 is a needle valve or other types, which will not be described in detail here. When in use, inert gas (N2, Ar), reducing gas (H2) or a mixed gas can be introduced into the combustion tube 3 from the air inlet connector 22, so that the sample in the combustion tube 3 contacts the gas (to prevent reaction or to participate in reaction), thereby realizing atmosphere control in the combustion tube 3. Similarly, the air inlet connector 22 at the air inlet end can also be replaced with a plug to seal the air inlet end, and the air outlet connector 24 at the air outlet end can be connected to a vacuum pump or other equipment to evacuate the interior of the combustion tube 3 to achieve a near vacuum state in the combustion tube 3, thereby realizing multiple atmosphere controls in the combustion tube 3. It is worth noting that the connection method between the combustion tube 3 and the air inlet connector 22 and the air outlet connector 24 can be flange connection, threaded connection, hinged connection and other connection methods. Of course, they can only be used under the premise that their sealing must be guaranteed.
[0058] By providing the air inlet connector 22 and the air outlet connector 24 , the air inlet and outlet of the combustion tube 3 can be conveniently controlled, thereby achieving atmosphere control of the combustion tube 3 .
[0059] Example 6:
[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, a honeycomb ceramic exhaust gas treatment tube 26 for exhaust gas treatment can be installed in the combustion tube 3 according to experimental needs. The honeycomb ceramic exhaust gas treatment tube 26 has a honeycomb structure and does not affect the passage of gas when placed in the combustion tube 3. The outer diameter of the honeycomb ceramic exhaust gas treatment tube 26 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the combustion tube 3. The honeycomb ceramic exhaust gas treatment tube 26 can be added with ZrO2-CeO2 composite carrier + Pt / Pd, or V2O5-WO3 / TiO2, or Pt / Al2O3 and other substances according to experimental needs, which correspond to the treatment of CO, VOCs, nitrogen oxides, etc. in the exhaust gas, thereby being able to treat the discharged exhaust gas and reduce emission pollution.
[0061] By installing the honeycomb ceramic tail gas treatment tube 26 in the combustion tube 3, the tail gas generated can be easily treated and the tail gas emission pollution can be reduced.
[0062] Example 7:
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, a lock 27 is installed on the bottom bin 4. The lock 27 is a mechanical lock or an electronic lock, which can lock the upper cover 5 and the bottom bin 4 when they are closed. At the same time, a limit switch 28 is installed on one side of the bottom bin 4. When the upper cover 5 is closed on the bottom bin 4, only when the upper cover 5 touches the limit switch 28, the limit switch 28 is closed, and then the lock 27 can be locked.
[0064] By installing the lock 27 and the travel switch 28, the bottom chamber 4 and the upper cover 5 can be conveniently closed and locked, so that the heating chamber 2 is sealed.
[0065] Example 8:
[0066] like Figure 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of smart meters 29 are installed on the front side of the equipment warehouse 1. The smart meters 29 respectively display the temperatures of the three temperature zones in the heating warehouse 2 and the real-time power of the electric heating rod 7, and a temperature adjustment button 30 is provided on one side of the smart meter 29. The target temperature value of the electric heating rod 7 can be set by the temperature adjustment button 30.
[0067] By providing the intelligent meter 29 and the temperature adjustment button 30 , the target temperature and real-time temperature of each temperature zone in the heating chamber 2 can be conveniently displayed and set.
[0068] Example 9:
[0069] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a control button group 31 is installed on the front side of the equipment compartment 1. The control button group 31 includes a main power button, a start button, a stop button, an emergency stop button, etc., which are used to control the start and stop of the equipment. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the start button of the equipment is linked to the limit switch 28. When the limit switch 28 is not closed, the start button of the equipment cannot be started, thereby avoiding the heating compartment 2 from not being fully closed, resulting in excessive energy consumption.
[0070] By installing a control button group 31 on the front of the equipment compartment 1, the start and stop control of the equipment can be easily achieved.
[0071] Example 10:
[0072] In this embodiment, a smart repair coating containing nano-ceramic particles is applied to the inner wall of the combustion tube 3. This coating automatically repairs cracks at high temperatures, extending its lifespan. This is achieved by adding a microencapsulated repair agent (such as liquid silane) to the silicon carbide composite material, triggering a repair reaction at temperatures above 1200°C. This process is not detailed here.
[0073] By coating the inner wall of the combustion tube 3 with an intelligent repair coating containing nano-ceramic particles, the combustion tube 3 can be automatically repaired, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the combustion tube 3.
[0074] Example 11:
[0075] Sealing half rings are installed in the bottom chamber 4 and the upper cover 5. The two sealing half rings are combined into a sealing ring to clamp and seal the combustion tube 3, thereby sealing the connection between the combustion tube 3 and the heating chamber 2, thereby reducing heat escape.
[0076] The provision of a sealing half ring is beneficial for improving the sealing of the heating chamber 2, reducing heat escape, and thus reducing energy consumption.
[0077] It is worth mentioning that the temperature range of each combustion tube 3 can be designed according to needs, and the maximum temperature can be designed to be 1700°C, 1600°C, and 1500°C. The specific actual temperature range can be designed according to actual needs and will not be repeated here.
[0078] Working principle: When in use, different experimental samples can be added to multiple combustion tubes 3 respectively, and the control end 8 controls the electric heating rod 7 to heat each temperature zone so that the sample in each combustion tube 3 can reach the designed temperature. The temperature sensor 9 detects the temperature of each temperature zone and transmits the data to the control end 8. The control end 8 controls the start / stop of the electric heating rod 7 in a timely manner. Its control program can be designed according to the existing three-temperature zone tube furnace, which will not be repeated here, so that the temperature of each temperature zone reaches the heating temperature value of each combustion tube 3. If one of the electric heating rods 7 is damaged, the through hole 10 of the adjacent temperature zone (the temperature is higher than the side of the temperature zone) will be opened. The specific operation is as follows: control the electric push rod 12 to start, shorten its output shaft and drive the sealing plate 11 to descend, so that the through hole 10 is exposed, and the hot air in the adjacent temperature zone enters the current temperature zone through the through hole 10, realizing rapid heat exchange, replacing the damaged electric heating rod 7 in the current temperature zone, and realizing heating of the combustion tube 3 in the current temperature zone. The heating speed and temperature of the combustion tube 3 can be controlled by controlling the exposure size of the through hole 10. Thus, even if some of the electric heating rods 7 are damaged, the normal operation of the entire device will not be affected. This is beneficial to improving the stability of the device. It is worth noting that this method of use is only suitable for short-term replacement use and is not suitable for long-term use.
[0079] The present invention adopts a multi-tube structural design, which can complete the heating process of multiple samples in each combustion tube 3 at one time, thereby saving experimental time and improving experimental efficiency. The sample loading and subsequent use process in the combustion tube 3 can refer to the operating procedures of the existing tube furnace and will not be repeated here.
[0080] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
