Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Acheson furnaces, and specifically, to an Acheson furnace with efficient cooling. Background Art
[0002] The Acheson furnace is also called the Acheson graphitization furnace. The prototype of the Acheson graphitization furnace is: in a furnace body built with refractory materials, carbon billets and granular materials are loaded to form a conductive furnace core. Around the furnace core is heat-insulating and heat-preserving material. Conductive electrodes are arranged on the upper ends of both side walls serving as furnace heads and are connected to a power source to form a powered circuit. When the circuit is switched on, the furnace core heats up due to the action of resistance, causing the carbon billets to be transformed into artificial graphite through high-temperature heat treatment at a temperature of 2200 - 2300 °C.
[0003] However, the temperatures of the interior and the shell of many existing Acheson graphitization furnaces are relatively high after the heating operation is completed. And many Acheson graphitization furnaces do not come with cooling devices themselves. Therefore, after the heating operation of the Acheson graphitization furnace is completed, it generally can only cool down naturally, resulting in an overly long cooling time, so that it takes a longer time to reach the required temperature level. This will slow down the production process and reduce its production efficiency. In addition, if the Acheson graphitization furnace is not cooled in a timely and rapid manner, there are potential safety hazards such as fires or explosions caused by its high temperature. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model provides an Acheson furnace with efficient cooling. By pumping water into the cavity through a water pump, the Acheson graphitization furnace after the heating operation can be cooled by water, so that the Acheson graphitization furnace can be quickly cooled to the required temperature level, thereby improving its production efficiency. In addition, through the setting of a fan and a semiconductor refrigeration plate, the cooling efficiency is further improved, thus solving the above problems.

A feeding port is fixedly installed at the top of the furnace body. A valve is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the furnace body.
[0006] Preferably, installation bins are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the furnace body. Brackets are fixedly installed inside both groups of installation bins, and fans are fixedly installed on both groups of brackets.

Specific embodiments
[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with 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 creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Embodiment 1
[0024] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, this embodiment proposes a high-efficiency cooling Acheson furnace, including a frame 1. The top of the frame 1 is fixedly installed through the furnace body 2. A cavity 3 is opened inside the side wall of the furnace body 2. The right side of the top of the frame 1 is fixedly installed with a water storage tank 4. The top of the water storage tank 4 is fixedly installed with a water inlet 11. The bottom end inside the water storage tank 4 is fixedly installed with a water pump 5. The output end of the water pump 5 is fixedly connected with a first connecting pipe 6. The other end of the first connecting pipe 6 is hermetically connected to the cavity 3. The right side top of the furnace body 2 is provided with a second connecting pipe 7. The left end of the second connecting pipe 7 is hermetically connected to the cavity 3. The other end of the second connecting pipe 7 extends into the inside of the water storage tank 4. The top of the furnace body 2 is fixedly installed with a feed inlet 8. The bottom end of the furnace body 2 is fixedly installed with a valve 10. A semiconductor refrigeration plate 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the right side of the water storage tank 4. The top of the furnace body 2 is fixedly installed with an air valve 9. The top of the frame 1 is fixedly installed with a control panel 17. The water pump 5 and two groups of fans 14 are both electrically connected to the control panel 17. Rubber pads 18 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the frame 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, when using this device, the staff can start the set water pump 5 through the control panel 17, so that the water stored inside the water storage bin 4 can be pumped into the opened cavity 3 through the set first connecting pipe 6, thereby being able to cool the furnace body 2 by water cooling. The setting that the water body flows through the cavity 3 for cooling in this device improves the cooling speed of the furnace body, reduces the required time for cooling, and thus improves its production efficiency. Then, as the water body is injected, the water body after absorbing heat flows back into the water storage bin 4 through the set second connecting pipe 7, so that the water body can be recycled. When the water body flows back into the water storage bin 4, the running of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 16 conducts the refrigeration temperature to the water body inside through the outer shell of the water storage bin 4, so that the water body can be cooled, further improving the cooling efficiency of the furnace body. Among them, the semiconductor refrigeration plate 16 is a mature existing technology. The semiconductor refrigeration plate 16 is a cooling device based on semiconductor materials, mainly used in the fields of refrigeration and cooling. Its working principle is mainly based on a phenomenon called the "thermoelectric effect". The thermoelectric effect refers to the fact that between the interfaces of two different materials in contact, due to the movement of electrons between atoms, a tiny current will be generated, and this phenomenon is called the Seebeck effect. The Seebeck effect leads to a change in the local temperature, that is, a tendency for heat to be transferred from the high-temperature region to the low-temperature region. This will not be elaborated here. In this device, by fixedly installing rubber pads 18 at the four corner positions at the bottom end of the frame 1, the stability during the use of this device is higher.
[0026] Embodiment 2
[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, based on the same concept as the above Embodiment 1, this embodiment also proposes that installation bins 12 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the furnace body 2. Brackets 13 are fixedly installed inside both groups of installation bins 12. Air blowers 14 are fixedly installed on both groups of brackets 13. Protective nets 15 are fixedly installed at one end of both groups of installation bins 12 away from each other.
[0028] In this embodiment, while the staff starts the water pump 5 to pump water to cool the furnace body 2 through the control panel 17, the staff can also start the set two air blowers 14 through the control panel 17, so as to be able to cool the outer wall of the furnace body by air cooling, further improving the cooling speed of this device and also further improving the working efficiency of this device. In addition, through the setting of the protective nets 15 fixedly installed inside both groups of installation bins 12, while ensuring that the set air blowers 14 can play the role of air cooling, it can also prevent the staff from accidentally touching the air blowers 14 by mistake, thus causing unnecessary harm to the staff.
[0029] In summary, when using this device, the staff can start the water pump 5 to work through the control panel 17, so that the water body can be pumped into the opened cavity 3. Then the water body enters from the bottom of the cavity 3 and flows back into the water storage bin 4 through the second connecting pipe 7, so as to cool the furnace body 2 after the heating operation by water cooling, and the water body can also be recycled. At the same time, the staff can also start the two groups of fans 14 set through the control panel 17, so that the outer shell of the furnace body 2 can be further cooled, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency of the furnace body 2, enabling it to be cooled to a suitable temperature more quickly, and thus improving its production efficiency. In addition, through the setting of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 16, the water body flowing back into the water storage bin 4 after passing through the cavity 3 and absorbing heat can be cooled, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency of the furnace body 2 and also improving the production efficiency of this device.
[0030] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
