Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graphite furnaces, and particularly to a gas sealing device applied to a graphite furnace. Background Art

[0002] During the high-temperature graphitization process of a graphite furnace, due to the action of high temperature, various substances in the material that are not resistant to high temperature decompose and volatilize, generating floating particles in the product. In a vacuum state, a large amount of volatiles generated will be deposited on the furnace door and the inner wall of the furnace body due to insufficient pumping force of the vacuum system. Especially when graphitizing phosphorus-containing substances, a large amount of white phosphorus will be deposited on the furnace door and the inner part of the furnace body, making it difficult to clean after graphitization. At the same time, due to the low ignition point of white phosphorus, spontaneous combustion will occur, generating a large amount of toxic and harmful smoke. Content of the Utility Model

The first gas sealing member includes an annular outer ring 11, a gas sealing pipe 12, and a first air inlet 13. The annular outer rings 11 are provided at both ends of the furnace body 1. An annular gas chamber 111 is formed inside the annular outer ring 11. A plurality of the gas sealing pipes 12 are annularly and equidistantly distributed on the inner wall of the furnace body 1. Both ends of the gas sealing pipe 12 are respectively communicated with the annular gas chambers 111 of the two annular outer rings 11. The annular outer ring 11 is provided with the first air inlet 13 communicated with the annular gas chamber 111. A flat opening 121 is formed on the gas sealing pipe 12. The second gas sealing member includes a first gas sealing ring 21, a second air inlet 22, a second gas sealing ring 23, and a third air inlet 24. The first gas sealing ring 21 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the furnace door 2. A first gas sealing opening 211 in a ring shape is formed on the outer ring of the first gas sealing ring 21. The furnace door 2 is provided with the second air inlet 22 communicated with the inside of the first gas sealing ring 21. The second gas sealing ring 23 is provided on the outer side of the inner wall of the furnace door 2. A second gas sealing opening 231 in a ring shape is formed on the inner side of the second gas sealing ring 23. The furnace door 2 is provided with the third air inlet 24 communicated with the inside of the second gas sealing ring 23.

[0022] The gas sealing pipe 12 is a strip-shaped pipe, and the flat openings 121 are horizontally formed on both the top and the bottom of the gas sealing pipe 12. With such a setting, a gas sealing layer can be formed between every two adjacent gas sealing pipes 12, ensuring the gas sealing effect on the inner wall of the furnace body 1.
