Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and particularly relates to a graphite kiln tool for sintering a large aspect ratio arc-shaped carbide composite material. Background Art

[0002] Carbide composite materials have been widely used in the fields of aerospace and high-speed trains, such as rocket engine nozzles and their throat linings, aircraft brake discs, pantograph slide plates of high-speed trains, etc. With the continuous expansion of the application environment, the working conditions require carbide composite products with a large aspect ratio and an arc shape. The powder sintering method is a commonly used method for carbide composite products. During the sintering process, graphite kiln tools are often widely used as sintering containers and support devices due to their high temperature resistance and strong stability. However, the currently common graphite kiln tools are either single-layer structures or flat-bottom stacking structures of multi-layer graphite kiln tools, with fixed connections between layers, which are inconvenient for disassembly and assembly and do not facilitate the flexible change of the number of graphite kiln tool layers according to the product quantity requirements in actual production. This often leads to problems such as low space utilization rate of graphite kiln tools, small furnace loading capacity, low equipment utilization rate, and high energy consumption. On the other hand, the near-net shaping of large aspect ratio arc-shaped carbide composite materials has always been a major technical difficulty. Carbide composite materials have high hardness, are difficult to process later, and the processing process will also have an adverse impact on product quality. If automatic shaping can be achieved during the sintering process, the product production cycle will be greatly shortened and the preparation cost will be reduced.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a graphite kiln tool for sintering a large aspect ratio arc-shaped carbide composite material. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a graphite kiln tool for sintering a large aspect ratio arc-shaped carbide composite material.

[0005] To achieve the above invention purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A graphite kiln tool for sintering a large aspect ratio arc-shaped carbide composite material, comprising: a plurality of material boxes, which are vertically stacked; each material box is provided with a ventilation structure for communicating and exhausting gas between each layer of material boxes, and the ventilation structure is also used for exhausting gas from the material box to the outside; the inner surface of the bottom plate of each material box is an arc surface; a sealing member, which is arranged on the top of the uppermost material box; a cushioning member, which is arranged on the bottom of the lowermost material box.

[0007] By setting up several material boxes and stacking the material boxes, multiple products can be sintered at one time, and multiple material boxes are stacked, which is very convenient for assembly and disassembly. The number of installed material boxes can be selected according to the output. A ventilation structure is opened on the material box to exhaust gas during the resin curing, cracking and carbonization process, so that the product reaction sintering is completed in one step in the furnace. The inner surface of the bottom plate of the material box is set to an arc surface, which is conducive to the automatic near-net forming of the sintered product. A sealing piece is set to seal the uppermost material box, which is conducive to preventing the heat radiation of the heating element of the kiln from directly irradiating the sintered material body to form local temperature concentration or uneven temperature field distribution. A cushion is set so that there is a certain space between the bottommost material box and the furnace table, which is conducive to the gas circulation inside the kiln and the overall lifting and displacement of the stacked material boxes.

[0008] It is further defined that the material box is a rectangular box body with an opening at the top, and the ventilation structure includes an exhaust groove and an exhaust hole. The exhaust groove is adjacent to the side wall of the material box and vertically penetrates the bottom plate of the material box, and the exhaust hole horizontally penetrates the long side plate of the material box; the exhaust groove is used for ventilation and exhaust between material boxes, and the exhaust hole is used for exhaust of a single material box. Such arrangement of the exhaust channel can make the exhaust effect better, and the opening of the exhaust hole can also be used to pass a cross bar through the exhaust hole, and then hang lifting ropes at both ends of the cross bar to lift and shift all material boxes on the upper layer of the exhaust hole.

[0009] It is further defined that the inner surface of the bottom plate of the material box is an upwardly convex curved surface, and the extending direction of the arc line of the inner surface of the bottom plate of the material box is the length direction of the material box.

[0010] It is further defined that the inner surface of the bottom plate of the material box is a downwardly concave arc surface, and the extending direction of the arc line of the inner surface of the bottom plate of the material box is the length direction of the material box.

[0011] It is further defined that the cushion member is a rectangular block, two of which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the lowest material box, and the cushion members are staggered with the exhaust grooves, and the length of the cushion members matches the width of the material box; the cushion member is arranged as a rectangular block, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and is very convenient to use.

[0012] It is further defined that the closing member is a cover plate, and a plurality of ventilation holes are vertically opened on the left and right sides of the cover plate; the ventilation holes opened on the cover plate are conducive to cooperating with the ventilation structure to timely discharge the waste gas generated during the curing and carbonization of the resin.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by arranging stacked material boxes, multiple products can be sintered at one time, and the bottom surface of the material box is arranged as an arc surface, which is more conducive to the automatic forming of arc-shaped carbides during the sintering process. The material boxes are easy to disassemble and assemble, and the quantity can be adjusted according to needs, which is more convenient for use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
