For example, "connection" can be a wall-mounted connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. It can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model provides an automatic cooling device for a box-type furnace, comprising a box-type furnace body 1 and a cooling device. Two temperature measuring probes 3 are arranged on the inner wall of the box-type furnace body 1. The temperature measuring probes 3 are used to monitor the temperature inside the box-type furnace body 1 in real time and are connected to the signal of the controller input end. A gas flow meter 2 is arranged at the bottom of the box-type furnace body 1.

[0026] A cooling device is connected to the top of the box-type furnace body 1, and an insulating partition is arranged between the cooling device and the box-type furnace body 1. The insulating partition is double-layered and includes a first partition 8 and a second partition 7. The first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are both made of heat-insulating materials such as glass wool; the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are both provided with array-arranged through holes 10, and the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are acted upon by a driving member to move relative to each other so as to switch between a first relative position and a second relative position.

[0027] Specifically, the sides of the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are connected by a connecting member 9, the connecting member 9 is rotatably connected to the first partition 8 and the second partition 7, the second partition 7 is fixed to the box-type furnace body, and the first partition 8 rotates relative to the connecting member 9 under the action of the driving member so that the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 switch between the first relative position and the second relative position.

[0028] When the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are in the first relative position, the through holes 10 of the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 overlap, and the box-type furnace body 1 and the cooling device are connected through the through hole 10. At this time, the heat preservation partition is in an open state, and the hot air inside the box-type furnace will enter the cooling device through the through hole 10 for cooling. The cooled gas re-enters the furnace cavity of the box-type furnace through the through hole 10 due to thermal expansion and contraction, thereby cooling the furnace cavity of the box-type furnace. When the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are in the second relative position, the through holes 10 of the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 are staggered, so that the heat preservation partition is in a closed state. At this time, the gas in the box-type furnace cannot escape into the cooling device, which can reduce heat loss and play a role in heat preservation.

[0029] In order to realize automatic cooling of the box furnace, in this embodiment, the relative movement between the first partition 8 and the second partition 7 does not require manual operation, but is driven by a driver, and the driver is started by a controller, the signal input end of the driver is connected to the signal output end of the controller, the controller outputs a start signal to the driver, and the driver drives the relative movement between the first partition 8 and the second partition 7. And the controller controls the start of the driver according to the furnace temperature monitored by the temperature measuring probe 3.

[0030] The user sets the temperature when cooling is required. When the temperature rise curve in the furnace detected by the temperature measuring probe 3 reaches the cooling step, the controller automatically controls the driving member to start. The driving member drives the connecting member 9 to drive the first partition 8 to move upward relative to the second partition 7 to a first relative position where the through hole 10 coincides. At this time, the hot air in the furnace will escape from the box-type furnace into the cooling device through the through hole 10. After being cooled by the cooling device, the gas re-enters the furnace cavity through the through hole 10 due to thermal expansion and contraction. After a period of hot air and cold air exchange, the temperature in the furnace is reduced, and the cooling effect is achieved.

[0031] When cooling is completed and the box furnace needs to be used again, the controller controls the driving member to drive the connecting member to drive the first partition 8 to shift downward relative to the second partition 7 to a closed state in which the through holes 10 are staggered. At this time, the gas in the furnace cannot escape from the through holes 10, which keeps the box furnace warm and allows sintering.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cooling device is provided with a plurality of heat pipes 6 as cooling modules, and the heat pipes 6 are filled with heat dissipation medium. The plurality of heat pipes 6 are arranged perpendicular to the box-type furnace body 1 to form an array arrangement. Specifically, the heat pipe 6 is divided into a first part and a second part, and the second part connects the two ends of the first part and is perpendicular to the first part; the first part is embedded in the metal heat conducting plate 11 on the top of the box-type furnace body 1, and the metal heat conducting plate 11 can increase the contact area with the hot air in the furnace. The end of the second part that is not connected to the first part is connected to the top plate of the cooling module, and the second part is used to provide space for the heat dissipation medium to vaporize. When the hot air in the furnace enters the cooling device through the through hole 10, the heat is transferred to the first part of the heat pipe 6 through the metal heat conducting plate, and the heat dissipation medium in the first part vaporizes and reaches the second part. The gasification absorbs heat, causing the temperature in the furnace to drop, thereby achieving rapid cooling.

[0033] When the common sintering temperature reaches above 600 degrees Celsius, the heat dissipation medium in the heat pipe 6 uses liquid sodium-potassium alloy. When the common sintering temperature does not reach 600 degrees Celsius, the heat dissipation medium uses liquid metal mercury.

[0034] In order to avoid the deterioration of the heat dissipation effect due to the excessive heat dissipation time, the reflux of the heat dissipation medium in the heat pipe 6 is accelerated to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In this embodiment, a heat dissipation fin 4 is arranged outside the second part of the plurality of heat pipes 6, and a heat dissipation fan 5 is installed outside the heat dissipation fin 4. When the heat is transferred to the heat dissipation medium in the heat pipe 6 through the metal heat conduction plate to gasify it, the heat dissipation medium transfers the heat to the air through the heat dissipation fin 4, and re-liquefies and flows back to the first part of the heat pipe 6 embedded in the metal heat conduction plate 11. At the same time, the heat dissipation fan 5 takes away the hot air in the air and brings in the unheated air, further accelerating the liquefaction and reflux of the heat dissipation medium. After the heat dissipation and reflux, the heat dissipation medium can participate in the heat dissipation process again, thereby maintaining a good heat dissipation effect.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field who uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model shall be deemed to infringe the protection scope of the utility model.
