[0030] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2, An embodiment provided by the present utility model: A box-type annealing furnace includes a box body 1.

A rotating mechanism is arranged inside the box body 1. A temperature sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. A control panel 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the box body 1.
[0031] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 3 , The rotating mechanism includes a stepping motor 7. The stepping motor 7 can precisely control the rotation angle of its output shaft, facilitate adjusting the rotation speed and rotation angle of its rotating shaft, and can be adjusted adaptively according to different working requirements to improve the control accuracy. The stepping motor 7 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1. The rotating mechanism further includes a first rotating shaft 8 arranged vertically. The first rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed at the top of the output shaft of the stepping motor 7. The first rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the box body 1 to improve the stability of the first rotating shaft 8 during rotation. The rotating mechanism further includes a disc 9 with a circular cross-section. The disc 9 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the first rotating shaft 8. The number of the discs 9 is set to be two groups.
[0032] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 3 , The rotating mechanism further includes a second rotating shaft 10 arranged vertically. The second rotating shaft 10 penetrates and is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the disc 9. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the second rotating shaft 10. The gear 11 is located below the disc 9. The rotating mechanism further includes an internal gear ring 12. The internal gear ring 12 meshes with the gear 11. The number of both the gear 11 and the internal gear ring 12 is set to be multiple and equal. Fixed blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the internal gear ring 12 to improve the stability during operation. The fixed blocks 13 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body 1.
[0033] Refer to Figure 4, the rotating mechanism further includes a placement box 14 for placing components. The placement box 14 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the second rotating shaft 10. The number of placement boxes 14 is set to be multiple, and the multiple placement boxes 14 are arranged in a straight line at equal intervals on the surface of the second rotating shaft 10. Annealing operations can be performed on multiple components simultaneously, which is beneficial to efficiently utilize the space inside the box body 1 and improve the space utilization rate. The rotating mechanism further includes protrusions 15. The protrusions 15 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 14. The number of protrusions 15 is set to be multiple, and the multiple protrusions 15 are arranged in a ring at the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 14. By providing the protrusions 15, when the component collides with the protrusions 15, the component will flip slightly, further improving the heating uniformity of the surfaces of the component in all directions.
[0034] Working principle: When in use, first check whether the working state of the equipment is good, then open the sealing door 3 by unlocking the lock 5 and pulling the handle 4, and then evenly place the components to be annealed inside the placement box 14. Then turn on the power supply of the heating tube 6 through the control panel 17 to heat the components, and control the temperature inside the box body 1 through the temperature sensor 16 to avoid adverse effects on the components caused by excessive temperature inside the box body 1.
[0035] Start the power supply of the stepping motor 7. The stepping motor 7 works to drive the first rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 8 drives the disc 9 to rotate. When the disc 9 rotates, it drives the second rotating shaft 10 to revolve around the central axis of the disc 9. At the same time, through the cooperation between the gear 11 and the internal gear ring 12, the second rotating shaft 10 also rotates around its own central axis. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 10 also drives the components inside the placement box 14 to rotate, so that each angle of the components has the opportunity to be irradiated by the heating tube 6, improving the heating uniformity. At the same time, the placement box 14 also drives the components to revolve around the central axis of the disc 9, further improving the heating uniformity.
[0036] When the placement box 14 drives the components to revolve and rotate, due to the influence of centrifugal force, the components will have a small displacement and then collide with the protrusions 15 inside the placement box 14, so that the components rotate slightly, and then the positions at the bottom of the components can also be irradiated, further improving the heating uniformity.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
