[0008] The outer cooling tube has a larger diameter than the inner cooling tube;

[0009] The outer cooling pipe is arranged in a bow-shaped loop shape, and includes outer water pipes installed equidistantly and horizontally, and a loop pipe is installed on a single end of the outer water pipe to connect adjacent outer water pipes to form a water channel for water flow.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the inner cooling pipe includes an inner water pipe and a connecting ring pipe connected with the inner water pipe to form a return water channel.

[0015] In the technical solution disclosed by the utility model, a layered cooling component is used.

[0025] Figure 1-Figure 4 An embodiment of the utility model is a vertical vacuum tube furnace, comprising a furnace box 1 and a furnace chamber 2, wherein the furnace chamber 2 is installed in the furnace box 1 and a cooling assembly 3 is provided in the furnace box 1, and a cooling channel 4 for placing the cooling assembly 3 is formed in the furnace box 1, and the cooling assembly 3 in the furnace box 1 extends in the cooling channel 4 and fits the furnace chamber 2.

[0026] The specific problem addressed by this specific embodiment is to solve the problem that the local temperature drops too fast due to the cold water directly hitting the side wall of the furnace 2, causing the high-temperature furnace tube to burst after being suddenly cooled. The utility model uses a layered cooling component 3 to first cool the temperature of the cooling area relative to the furnace 2 when it first enters the cooling area, so that the temperature of the outer wall of the furnace 2 drops to the same temperature, and then the cold water passes through the outer water pipe 311 and the inner water pipe 321 close to the arm of the furnace 2, thereby gradually reducing the temperature in the furnace 2 and enhancing the stability of the furnace tube.

[0027] The front and rear ends of the furnace 2 are surrounded by cooling components 3, and the two cooling components 3 are centrally symmetrical to establish a state in which the water supply direction and the water return direction are opposite.

[0028] The cooling assembly 3 includes an outer cooling tube 31 and an inner cooling tube 32. The outer cooling tube 31 has a larger diameter than the inner cooling tube 32. The inner cooling tube 32 has a larger diameter than the furnace 2. The outer cooling tube 31 has a larger diameter than the inner cooling tube 32. A bushing is connected between the outer cooling tube 31 and the inner cooling tube 32. The outer cooling tube 31 is arranged in a bow-shaped loop. The outer cooling tube 31 includes an outer water pipe 3 installed horizontally at equal intervals. 11. A return pipe 312 is installed on a single end of the outer water pipe 311 to connect the adjacent outer water pipes 311 to form a water passage for water flow. In this specific embodiment, the inner cooling pipe 32 includes an inner water pipe 321 and a connecting ring pipe 322 connected with the inner water pipe 321 to form a return water passage. The distance between adjacent inner water pipes 321 is smaller than the distance between adjacent outer water pipes 311 to achieve fast water flow and slow return water for slow cooling. The return water passage is on the same horizontal line as the water passage, and the return water passage of the cooling assembly 3 at a single end of the furnace 2 is located below, while the return water passage at the other end is located above, thereby forming different water return directions formed by the two return water passages in the furnace 2, with one end returning downward and the other end returning upward, thereby producing a double cooling effect for the cooling of the furnace 2.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, an upper water channel 5 and a return water channel 6 are opened on the furnace box 1 structure. The upper water channel 5 and the return water channel are located on the same horizontal line and on opposite structural side walls. Extended water pipes 7 are installed in the upper water channel 5 and the return water channel. The extended water pipes 7 extend along the upper water channel 5 and the water stop channel and are respectively connected to the outer water pipe 311 and the inner water pipe 321. The diameter of the extended water pipe 7 is larger than the diameter of the outer water pipe 311 to ensure sufficient water supply. A connecting pipe 8 is connected between the extended water pipe 7 and the outer water pipe 311 and the inner water pipe 321 to compensate for the diameter difference.
