Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vacuum furnace locking, in particular to a vacuum furnace locking device. Background Art

[0002] A vacuum heat treatment furnace is a facility that uses a vacuum state to perform heat treatment on parts. The vacuum heat treatment furnace has high thermal efficiency and can achieve rapid heating and cooling in the furnace body. During the operation of the vacuum heat treatment furnace, the workpiece is heated and cooled in an ultra-low pressure space, so the thermal efficiency is relatively high. In addition, the vacuum heat treatment furnace has the advantages of good quality, energy saving, safety and less pollution. Therefore, it is widely used in the workpiece processing and production process. During the workpiece processing process of the vacuum heat treatment furnace, the sealing and safety requirements of the equipment are relatively high. Therefore, a vacuum furnace cover is often required to seal the furnace body. In the traditional processing process, the locking between the vacuum furnace cover and the vacuum furnace body is mostly bolted. This connection method is relatively complicated and the vacuum furnace cover is inconvenient to disassemble and install.

[0003] The Chinese patent authorization announcement number: CN202320805041.2 provides a vacuum furnace cover locking device. When the vacuum furnace cover is overlapped on the vacuum furnace body, the clamping cylinder pushes the connecting block to rise, and the connecting block slides in the mounting seat, driving the pressing block connected to the mounting seat to rotate and press down, and the bottom of the pressing block is close to the upper part of the vacuum furnace cover. The upper cover body of the vacuum furnace cover is pressed by the pressing block to tighten the vacuum furnace cover, so that the vacuum furnace cover is locked on the vacuum furnace body, replacing the traditional bolts to fix and lock the vacuum furnace cover. The operation is convenient. When disassembling the vacuum furnace cover, several clamping cylinders retreat, the bottom of the pressing block retreats, and the staff disassembles the vacuum furnace cover. However, when locking or disassembling, each cylinder needs to be operated, which is not convenient to achieve synchronous operation. Moreover, since each cylinder is a separate individual, if there is a difference in stroke, it may affect the sealing.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vacuum furnace locking device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
