[0002] Vacuum hot pressing equipment consists of several parts: heating system, pressure system, temperature measurement system, control system, vacuum system, etc. Vacuum hot pressing equipment is a vertical electrical equipment that uses graphite as a heating element. It is widely used in hot pressing and sintering of metal compounds, ceramics, inorganic compounds, nanomaterials, etc. under high temperature and high vacuum conditions or in a protective atmosphere. However, it is difficult to carry out sintering and pressing of traditional vacuum hot pressing and sintering equipment in the prior art simultaneously. Even if it is carried out simultaneously, it is even more difficult to maintain the stability of high-pressure sintering.

[0003] In the prior art, the pressure of the vacuum hot pressing system is supplied by the hydraulic station. Similar products use graphite heating, and only use the hydraulic station output oil pressure as the pressure feedback monitoring point. Due to the structural properties of graphite itself, inaccurate pressure measurement often causes the graphite mold to burst during heating, resulting in heating failure. At the same time, inaccurate temperature measurement is also a factor that causes the graphite mold to burst. Utility Model Content

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the upper hot pressing assembly and the lower hot pressing assembly both include a copper electrode, a graphite base, a graphite connecting column, a graphite mounting block, a graphite pressure head and a graphite plate which are sequentially connected and arranged, and the graphite plate extends into the graphite cylinder.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature measuring through hole on the lower hot pressing assembly extends from the copper electrode to below the graphite plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, insulating gaskets are provided between the pressure platform and the copper electrode of the upper hot pressing assembly, and between the mounting frame and the copper electrode of the lower hot pressing assembly.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an observation window is provided on the front side of the vacuum chamber door.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the utility model are:

[0015] The weighing sensor measures the actual pressure. When the measured pressure changes, the system will give feedback and increase or decrease the pressure by adjusting the servo oil supply speed of the hydraulic station in real time to avoid the graphite mold from bursting.

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the sake of illustration and convenience of description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

The hot pressing work is completed in the vacuum chamber 2. During the hot pressing, the powdered sample is placed in the graphite cylinder 13, the lower hot pressing assembly 5 is fixed, and the upper hot pressing assembly 4 moves downward to generate a certain pressure on the powdered material. At the same time, the upper hot pressing assembly 4 and the lower hot pressing assembly 5 are powered on to generate heat, and the sample is hot pressed and sintered.

[0023] A hydraulic cylinder 14 is provided on the top of the upper hot pressing assembly 4, a pressure platform 15 is provided between the hydraulic cylinder 14 and the upper hot pressing assembly, and a weighing sensor 16 is provided on the pressure platform 15; a temperature measuring through hole 17 for inserting a temperature measuring sensor is provided in the middle of the lower hot pressing assembly. During the hot pressing sintering process, the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the weighing sensor 16 to move downward synchronously to apply a certain pressure to the sample, and the weighing sensor 16 measures the actual pressure at the same time. When the pressure measured by it changes, the system gives feedback, and increases or decreases the pressure by adjusting the servo oil supply speed of the hydraulic station in real time to avoid the graphite mold from bursting. At the same time, the temperature measuring sensor extends into the temperature measuring through hole 17 to measure the actual temperature, and adjusts the power output in real time according to the temperature measurement situation to control the temperature, thereby achieving high-precision temperature control.

During hot pressing sintering, the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the upper hot pressing assembly 4 to move downward until the graphite plates 11 contact the sample and pressurize it to a specified pressure, and at the same time, the power supply starts to output current, which is transmitted to the graphite plates 11 through the copper electrodes 6, and the temperature in the graphite cylinder 11 starts to rise. The temperature and pressure state are real-time dynamic processes, and hot pressing sintering of the sample is achieved.

[0026] The temperature measuring through hole 17 on the lower hot pressing assembly 5 extends from the copper electrode 6 to the bottom of the graphite plate 11. The above arrangement is convenient for installation and the measured temperature is more accurate.

[0027] Insulating gaskets 12 are provided between the pressure platform 15 and the copper electrode 6 of the upper hot-pressing assembly 4 and between the mounting frame 1 and the copper electrode 6 of the lower hot-pressing assembly 5 to play an insulating role.
