[0006] To solve the above technical problems, a fixing component for heating elements in a heating chamber of a vacuum furnace provided by the utility model includes: an outer shell component of the heating chamber of the vacuum furnace, a heat preservation layer component of the heating chamber of the vacuum furnace, a heating element component, and a fixing component for heating elements;

[0007] The heating element fixing assembly includes a through rod, a porcelain tube, a porcelain ring, a porcelain cap, a first gasket, a binding wire, a second gasket, a nut and an open pin. The through rod is disposed on the surface of the heating element assembly. The porcelain tube is disposed on the outer surface of the through rod. The porcelain ring is disposed on one side of the outer surface of the porcelain tube. The porcelain cap is disposed on the other side of the outer surface of the porcelain tube. Two of the first gaskets are respectively disposed on one side of the outer surfaces of the porcelain cap and the porcelain ring. The binding wire is disposed on one side inside the through rod. The second gasket is sleeved on the other side of the outer surface of the through rod. The nut is threadedly engaged with one side of the outer surface of the through rod. The open pin is disposed on the other side inside the through rod and is located on the outer surface of the nut.

[0008] Preferably, the heat insulation layer assembly of the vacuum furnace heating chamber is disposed between the outer shell assembly of the vacuum furnace heating chamber and the heating element assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the first gasket is made of molybdenum or molybdenum alloy, and the second gasket is made of stainless steel.

[0010] Compared with the related art, a heating element fixing assembly of a vacuum furnace heating chamber provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The present utility model provides a heating element fixing assembly of a vacuum furnace heating chamber.
