DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0020] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a graphitization furnace with adjustable gas pressure in the furnace, including a furnace body 1, a furnace cavity is opened in the furnace body 1, a through hole is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the furnace body 1, a sealing cylinder 101 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the furnace body 1, the through hole is located in the middle of the sealing cylinder 101, a sealing plate 102 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sealing cylinder 101, an air hole is opened in the middle of the sealing plate 102, a fixing frame 103 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sealing plate 102, and a pressure relief pipe 104 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the sealing plate 102;

[0021] Among them, a plug 105 is provided at the upper end of the pressure relief pipe 104, and a base plate 106 is fixedly installed at the other end of the plug 105. Guide shafts 1061 are fixedly installed at both ends of the base plate 106. The guide shaft 1061 is sleeved with a spring 1062, and the guide shaft 1061 is sleeved with a push plate 107. The lower surface of the push plate 107 is in contact with the spring 1062. A bolt 1031 is provided in the middle of the fixed frame 103, and the tail of the bolt 1031 is in contact with the push plate 107. The bolt 1031 is rotated to adjust the tension of the spring 1062, which is used to adjust the clamping force between the plug 105 and the upper opening of the pressure relief pipe 104.

[0022] A limiting groove is provided in the middle of the sealing plate 102, and a pressure relief plate 1021 is hinged in the limiting groove. A rubber gasket is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the pressure relief plate 1021 to improve the overall sealing performance of the furnace body 1. At the same time, the pressure relief plate 1021 can only achieve one-way flow. When the air pressure in the furnace body 1 is too high, the high-temperature gas enters the sealing cylinder 101 through the through hole for storage. Then, when the air pressure in the sealing cylinder 101 increases, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will lift the pressure relief plate 1021, allowing the gas to enter the pressure relief pipe 104. When the air pressure in the sealing cylinder 101 is stable, the pressure relief plate 1021 will block the air hole.

[0023] The pressure relief pipe 104 is in a truncated cone shape, and a pressure relief groove is provided at the opening of the upper end of the pressure relief pipe 104. The plug 105 is matched with the pressure relief groove. Through the truncated cone structure of the pressure relief pipe 104, the gas flows along the direction of flow, and the flow area gradually decreases, so that the gas is accelerated and lifts the plug 105, so that the bottom plate 106 rises and compresses the spring 1062. At this time, the spring 1062 deforms and stores energy, so that when the gas pressure decreases, the spring 1062 drives the plug 105 to quickly reset, thereby preventing oxygen from entering the furnace body 1 and reducing the heat loss in the furnace body 1.

[0024] Guide holes are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the fixing frame 103, and the other end of the guide shaft 1061 is slidably installed in the guide holes. In order to prevent the plug 105 from being misaligned with the pressure relief pipe 104, resulting in heat loss in the furnace body 1 and the entry of oxygen, which affects the reaction speed and degree of graphitization, the guide holes are used to limit the guide shaft 1061, so that the plug 105 can move linearly up and down, thereby ensuring the production quality and production efficiency of the graphitization furnace.

[0025] A hydraulic rod 2 is hinged on the side wall of the furnace body 1, and a hinged portion 108 is provided on the side wall of the furnace body 1. The hinged portion 108 is provided between the hydraulic rod 2 and the opening of the furnace cavity. A furnace cover 201 is provided at the opening of the furnace cavity, and the furnace cover 201 is hinged to the hinged portion 108. A sealing strip is fixedly installed at the edge of the furnace cover 201 to ensure the airtightness inside the furnace body 1, avoid the loss of pressure and temperature inside the furnace body 1, and prevent oxygen from entering the furnace body 1.

[0026] A first connecting rod 202 is hinged to the middle part of the outer side wall of the furnace cover 201, and a second connecting rod 203 is hinged to the hinge part 108. The other end of the first connecting rod 202 is hinged to the other end of the second connecting rod 203, and a connecting rod 204 is hinged at the hinge between the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 203. The other end of the connecting rod 204 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the hydraulic rod 2. In order to prevent the high temperature and high pressure in the furnace body 1 from reducing the airtightness of the furnace cover 201 and the furnace body 1, the piston end of the hydraulic rod 2 is extended so that the second connecting rod 203 rotates around the hinge part 108, thereby pushing the first connecting rod 202, so that the first connecting rod 202 pushes the furnace cover 201, further increasing the clamping force between the furnace cover 201 and the furnace body 1, and further improving the overall airtightness of the graphitization furnace, which is used to improve the quality of products produced by the graphitization furnace.

[0027] When the utility model is used, the piston end of the control hydraulic rod 2 is retracted, and at this time the connecting rod 204 will drive the second connecting rod 203 to rotate, and then pull the first connecting rod 202, so that the first connecting rod 202 drives the furnace cover 201 to open, and then the graphitized raw materials are placed in the furnace cavity inside the furnace body 1, and then the piston end of the hydraulic rod 2 is extended, and at this time the first connecting rod 202 will push the furnace cover 201 to fit tightly with the furnace body 1. When the temperature in the furnace body 1 increases, the air pressure in the furnace body 1 also increases, and the bolt 1031 is rotated, and the push plate 107 is pushed by the bolt 1031 to control the push plate 10 7 and the bottom plate 106. When the gas pressure inside the furnace body 1 exceeds the threshold, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will enter the sealing cylinder 101 through the through hole and lift the pressure relief plate 1021. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the pressure relief pipe 104. Then, when the gas pressure in the pressure relief pipe 104 is higher than the tensioning force of the spring 1062, the spring 1062 will deform and separate the plug 105 from the pressure relief pipe 104, so that the furnace body 1 is depressurized and the gas pressure in the furnace body 1 is reduced. Then, the spring 1062 will reset and re-seal the pipe opening of the pressure relief pipe 104.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
