[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a brazing furnace protective gas supply system, including:

[0027] Several protective gas compartments 1, with several protective gas cylinders 2 assembled inside;

[0028] A gas pipeline, one end of which is connected in parallel to the joint of the protective gas cylinder 2, and the other end is connected to the joint on the gas-using equipment 10 of the brazing furnace. Along the gas supply direction of the gas pipeline, a protective gas access valve 3, a first pressure gauge 4, a pressure regulating valve 6, a second pressure gauge 7, and a total output valve 9 corresponding to the protective gas compartment 1 are sequentially arranged. The pressure range of the first pressure gauge 4 is 1 - 13 MPa, the pressure range of the second pressure gauge 7 is 0.1 - 0.2 MPa, and the pressure of the protective gas input by the gas-using equipment is 0.2 MPa.

[0029] The protective gas compartment 1 is a nitrogen compartment, and the protective gas cylinder 2 is a nitrogen cylinder, which improves the protection of the operation of the brazing furnace.

[0030] The protective gas access valve 3, the pressure regulating valve 6, and the total output valve 9 are solenoid valves, and the above valves are uniformly controlled by a controller to achieve precise and automatic supply of protective gas.

[0031] A high-pressure cut-off valve 5 is arranged between the protective gas access valve 3 and the pressure regulating valve 6 to respond to the high-pressure environment in the gas supply system and improve the stable and safe operation of the gas supply system.

[0032] A preheating device 8 is arranged between the pressure regulating valve 6 and the main output valve 9. A heat preservation sleeve is sleeved outside the gas pipeline at the rear end of the pressure regulating valve 6. Based on the fact that nitrogen gas cylinders mostly use liquid nitrogen for low-temperature storage, resulting in a relatively low temperature of the output nitrogen gas, the output nitrogen gas is heated to a set range by the preheating device 8 and insulated by the heat preservation sleeve, so that the temperature of the nitrogen gas input into the brazing furnace gas-using device 10 will not affect the use of the brazing furnace.

[0033] An air vent branch is arranged between the pressure regulating valve 6 and the main output valve 9. A vent valve 11 and a safety valve 12 are arranged on the air vent branch, which is convenient for exhausting the gas in the pipeline, ensuring the stability of the nitrogen gas purity input into the device, or facilitating pipeline maintenance and replacement. Among them, the pressure threshold of the safety valve 12 is 0.4 MPa.

[0034] The working principle of a brazing furnace protective gas supply system in this embodiment includes: when in use for gas supply, the two groups of nitrogen gas cells arranged in this embodiment are connected to the system; the left nitrogen gas cell is used as the protective gas, and the corresponding protective gas access valve 3, pressure regulating valve 6, and main output valve 9 are opened to protect the brazing furnace. The preheating device 8 heats the output nitrogen gas to a set temperature to avoid the influence of injecting low-temperature gas on the operation of the brazing furnace; after the left nitrogen gas cell is used up, the device alarms and the staff switches the system; the corresponding protective gas access valve 3 is opened and closed, and the system switches to the right nitrogen gas cell for protection; the used-up left nitrogen gas cell is replaced; after the right nitrogen gas cell is used up, the device alarms and the staff switches the system; the system switches to the left nitrogen gas cell for protection; the used-up right nitrogen gas cell is replaced, and so on. The personnel have sufficient time to replace the gas cylinders of the used-up nitrogen gas cells, and the device can continuously produce without stopping, avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0035] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, a brazing furnace protective gas supply system in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0036] This gas supply system is designed with multiple groups of protective gas supply systems to supply gas to the brazing furnace separately. One group is in use and the others are in standby. When the nitrogen gas pressure during use is too low, the system alarms, and the staff can switch to the standby nitrogen gas in a short time. Moreover, the personnel have sufficient time to replace the gas cylinders of the used-up nitrogen gas cells, and the device can continuously produce without stopping, and potential safety hazards are avoided. The design of the preheating device and the protective sleeve can heat and preheat the low-temperature nitrogen gas output from the nitrogen gas cell to reduce the influence of the protective gas temperature on the operation of the brazing furnace and improve production efficiency.

[0037] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
