The end of the furnace door is provided with multiple groups of mounting grooves 2, and pneumatic locks 2 are connected to the inner thread of the mounting grooves 2. The utility model is fixed by setting pneumatic locks 1 and 2 to engage with each other. It only needs to control the operation of the air pump through the controller. The fixing effect of a single pneumatic lock is not as ideal as that of a mechanical lock. However, pneumatic locks 1 and 2 cooperate with each other so that the fixing rod is inserted into the jack of the metal rod. The pneumatic control is combined with the mechanical interlocking method, which is not only simple to operate but also has a good fixing effect. Six groups of pneumatic locks are set in a circle of the furnace door, and the sealing parts of the furnace door and the vacuum furnace can be locked to make the sealing effect of the vacuum furnace better.

[0004] The furnace door unlocking and locking device of a conventional vacuum furnace often achieves the locking of the furnace door by interlocking locking blocks. In this manner, gaps are easily generated as the locking blocks move, thereby affecting the locking and sealing effect of the furnace door. Utility Model Content
