[0002] In order to realize the multi-element alloy co-diffusion of steel bars such as wires, profiles and strips, the existing technology designs a tank body located on the outer side of the steel bar, and the steel bar is placed in the tank body and sent into a heating furnace to complete the multi-element alloy co-diffusion. However, the traditional tank body has the following problems: The length of the traditional tank body is insufficient to adapt to the processing work of super-long threaded steel bars, and the traditional tank body is often a square tank body or a circular tank body. The square tank body is difficult to rotate, and the circular tank body is easy to cause the steel bars inside to be wound. The traditional tank body is mostly flange connected, and the positioning is difficult and the operation is complex, so it is not easy to realize automatic production. The bolt neck used for flange connection is easy to break under a large shear force, and the risk of production accidents is large. Moreover, the traditional sealing is basically achieved by clamping thermal cotton between the contact surfaces. When the tank body is deformed, the sealing effect is very poor. SUMMARY

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown: a split combined vacuum tank for multi-element co-infiltration of super-long steel bars, comprising a plurality of unit tanks 1, wherein the plurality of unit tanks 1 are sequentially connected to form a complete tank; The connection between two adjacent unit tanks 1 is provided with matching male and female ports. The male port 111 of one unit tank 1 is plugged into the female port 131 of the other unit tank 1. The male port 111 and the female port 131 are interference fit. The adjacent ends of the two unit tanks 1 are both provided with chucks 14 , and the two chucks 14 are connected by a snap ring 15 , which is wrapped around the outside of the chuck 14 , and the two chucks 14 and the snap ring 15 are interference fit.

[0022] A complete tank body is formed by interconnecting multiple unit tanks 1, so that the tank body can adapt to the processing of steel materials such as wires, profiles, bars, etc. with a length of ≥6m. The unit tanks 1 can be combined according to the length of the workpiece, and the applicability is strong.

[0023] A spline 112 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the sub-opening 111 , and a flower groove 132 corresponding to the spline 112 is opened on the inner wall of the female opening 131 , and the spline 112 is inserted into the flower groove 132 .

[0024] The outer wall of the sub-opening 111 and the inner wall of the female opening 131 are both conical structures, and the sub-opening 111 is inwardly converging toward the end away from the unit tank 1 , while the female opening 131 is inwardly converging toward the end close to the unit tank 1 .

[0025] Through the spline 112 and the conical surface structure in the male and female joints, double positioning is carried out to ensure that the coaxiality is ≤0.1mm / m. This male and female joint connection method can also effectively improve the sealing of the tank mouth.

[0026] The unit tank 1 includes: An inner liner 11, wherein the inner liner 11 is a polygonal structure; The housing 12 is a circular structure; The shell 12 is wrapped around the outer side of the inner liner 11 , and the shell 12 is fixedly connected to the inner liner 11 .

[0027] The sub-port 111 is formed by extending from one end of the inner container 11 to the outside of the shell 12; The female port 131 is arranged on the connecting piece 13, and the connecting piece 13 is fixedly arranged on the end of the shell 12; The end of the inner container 11 of the unit tank 1 away from the connecting part is sealed.

[0028] The shell 12 in a circular structure and the inner container 11 in a polygonal structure are combined, which effectively reduces the relative sliding and winding of the threaded steel workpiece in the tank. The circular structure of the shell 12 solves the rotation problem, and the polygonal structure of the inner container 11 solves the problem of winding and relative sliding of the threaded steel. The relative sliding is reduced by increasing the full contact and friction between the workpiece and the auxiliary material. In this embodiment, the inner container 11 in a polygonal structure is in a hexagonal structure. The inner container 11 in a hexagonal structure is easy to process, and the structure is low in customization cost.

[0029] In some embodiments, a rib plate for preventing winding and sliding is additionally arranged inside the inner container 11 in a polygonal structure. The inner container 11 can be replaced by an octagonal or other polygonal structure. It should be noted that the polygonal structure is at least pentagonal, and the square inner container 11 cannot solve the problem of winding and relative sliding of the threaded steel.

[0030] The sealed end of the unit tank 1 is connected with a vacuum valve 16. One end of the vacuum valve 16 is in communication with the inner container 11, and the other end is in communication with a vacuum pump.

[0031] In some embodiments, under the premise of ensuring the sealing of the tank body, the inner container 11 is connected with a vacuum flange, and the interface is a sealing quick connection of enhanced negative pressure type.

[0032] One end face of the chuck 14 is an inclined plane, and the other end face is a flat surface. The flat surfaces of the two chucks 14 are tightly pressed against each other. The inner walls of the clamping ring 15 tightly press the end faces of the two chucks 14 which are inclined.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping ring 15 is composed of two arc-shaped structural members. One end of the arc-shaped structural member is hinged to one end of the other arc-shaped structural member. The other end of the arc-shaped structural member is provided with a bolt, and the other end of the other arc-shaped member is provided with a nut corresponding to the bolt. The bolt and the nut are threadedly connected, and the inner walls of the two arc-shaped structural members tightly press the outer wall of the clamping ring 15.

[0034] The flange inclined surface and the inner inclined surface of the clamping ring 15 are connected in a way. After being clamped by interference fit, the single bolt is fixed, which improves the installation efficiency by nearly 3 times compared with the traditional flange connection method.

[0035] The plane is provided with annular sealing grooves 141, and the sealing cavities are formed between the two mutually abutting sealing grooves 141, and the graphite packing is arranged in the sealing cavities and is in interference fit with the sealing cavities.

[0036] The flange is provided with graphite packing sealing grooves 141 on the inner side, and the tight sealing is similar to the hydraulic sealing ring, so that the sealing effect is increased.

[0037] For the two mutually connected chucks 14, one is arranged around the outer side of the female port 131, and the other is arranged around the outer side of the female port 131, and when the male port 111 is in interference fit with the female port 131, the two chucks 14 abut each other.

[0038] The side wall of the unit tank 1 is provided with a plurality of discharge ports 17, the discharge ports 17 are provided with sealing covers 171, the inner wall of the discharge ports 17 is provided with L-shaped grooves, the outer wall of the sealing covers 171 is fixedly provided with sliding blocks corresponding to the L-shaped grooves, and the sliding blocks are located in the L-shaped grooves.

[0039] When it is needed to open the discharge port 17, the sealing cover 171 needs to be taken out, the sealing cover 171 is rotated to make the sliding blocks on the outer wall of the sealing cover 171 slide, the sliding blocks first slide in the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove, and then the sliding blocks enter the vertical part of the L-shaped groove and cannot continue to move, at this time, the sealing cover 171 is lifted, the sealing cover 171 drives the sliding blocks to slide in the vertical part, and then the sliding blocks move out of the L-shaped groove; when it is needed to close the discharge port 17, the opening operation is performed in reverse.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to complete the temperature measurement in the tank, two ways are proposed, one is that the temperature measuring body (high temperature resistant) in the tank sends signals to the outside to monitor the temperature in the tank in real time, and the other is that a mirror hole is formed in the side wall of the tank body, and the temperature is measured directly by infrared or laser irradiation.

[0041] The two methods solve the problem that the traditional temperature measurement is mostly the contact type thermocouple which is inserted into the furnace by 80-150 mm, and cannot measure the temperature at the center of the tank, and the poor temperature measurement accuracy leads to poor temperature control accuracy.

[0042] In order to solve the problem that the traditional tank body has small metal heat conduction surface and low heat conduction efficiency, heat conduction columns are uniformly arranged in the cavity between the shell 12 and the inner container 11, the heat conduction area is increased, and the heat transfer efficiency is improved.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the description of the present application.

[0044] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
