[0066] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an expansion furnace for producing graphite sheets, including an expansion furnace 100, wherein the expansion furnace 100 includes a furnace body 30 for placing graphite sheets and expanding the graphite sheets, and a sealing cover 20 provided on the furnace body 30 to seal the furnace body 30.

[0067] A heating tank 50 is provided on one side of the furnace body 30. The heating tank 50 can be a YK series electric heating tank. The heating tank 50 is provided with a high-pressure gas transmission component 501 for communicating with the furnace body 30 and transmitting hot air into the furnace body 30. Hot air is transmitted to the inside of the furnace body 30 through the high-pressure gas transmission component 501 to heat and expand the graphite sheet.

[0068] Since traditional expansion furnaces have poor thermal insulation performance during use, the heat in the expansion furnace is easily lost, thereby increasing production costs. If the temperature inside the furnace cannot reach the required temperature, the graphite sheet will not expand, thereby affecting the performance of the product. To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a partition 70 is provided inside the furnace body 30, and the inner cavity of the furnace body 30 is divided into an upper cavity 301 and a lower cavity 302 by the partition 70; and the upper cavity of the furnace body 30 is made of a double-layer shell composed of an inner shell 306 and an outer shell, thereby effectively reducing heat loss to the outside.

[0069] A cavity is provided between the inner shell 306 and the outer shell, and a heat circulation pipe 303 is fixedly installed in the cavity by means of a fixing screw or the like. The heat circulation pipe 303 passes through the outer shell, and high-temperature liquid is transported into the heat circulation pipe 303 through a water inlet 3031 of the heat circulation pipe. The water inlet 3031 of the heat circulation pipe is connected to the hot water outlet of the heating tank.

[0070] The heat circulation pipe 303 further includes a heat circulation pipe water outlet 3032 , and is connected to the liquid inlet of the heating tank 50 via the heat circulation pipe water outlet 3032 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the heating tank is started to heat the liquid in the heating tank, and at the same time the high-temperature liquid in the heating tank is transported to the heat circulation pipe 303, thereby heating the furnace body and improving the heat preservation capacity of the expansion furnace.

[0072] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer shell is sprayed with a waterproof material to form a waterproof layer 304, and the outer shell includes a thermal insulation layer 305, the thermal insulation layer includes an insulation board, and the outer wall of the insulation board is adhered with a polystyrene board; the polystyrene board is away from the inner shell.

[0073] In this embodiment, the upper cavity of the furnace body 30 is made of a double-layer shell composed of an inner shell 306 and an outer shell, thereby effectively reducing heat loss to the outside, and a waterproof layer 304 is formed by spraying a waterproof material on the outer wall of the outer shell. At the same time, a polystyrene board is provided on the outer shell away from the inner shell. The polystyrene board and the waterproof layer have good moisture-proof properties, and can effectively reduce heat conduction and prevent heat dissipation. At the same time, a heat circulation pipe 303 is added in the cavity between the inner and outer shells of the outer shell to increase the heat of the furnace body through the heat circulation pipe.

[0074] Furthermore, a pipe is provided on the inner wall of the furnace body 30, and the pipe passes through the inner wall and the outer wall in sequence, and is connected to the first circulation pipe 502 through the pipe outlet 505 provided on the outer wall, and is connected to the heating tank 50 through the first circulation pipe 502;

[0075] The heating tank 50 includes a second circulation pipe 504 , which is connected to the furnace body 30 through the second circulation pipe 504 . The outlet end of the second circulation pipe 504 passes through the outer shell and the inner shell in sequence and extends into the furnace body 30 .

[0076] In this embodiment, the liquid is heated by the heating tank, and the hot gas generated after the heating is transported to the furnace body 30 through the second circulation pipe for heating.

[0077] In actual application, since the sealing cover needs to be opened and closed frequently to put materials into the furnace body, if the rubber seal is thick, the sealing cover needs to be opened and closed frequently, resulting in the rubber seal 201 set on the sealing cover being easily damaged. If the rubber seal is thin, the sealing performance is poor. In order to solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the sealing cover 20 is provided with a rubber seal 201, and the rubber seal 201 is provided with a sealing ring 202 around its circumference, and the inner wall of the furnace body is provided with a groove for the raised end 203 of the sealing ring 202 to extend into, and the raised end is with.

[0078] An injection assembly 10 is provided at the top of the sealing cover 20 located at the tank body. The injection assembly 10 includes a screw 101. A sealing gasket 102 is provided on the screw 101 at a position away from the sealing cover. The screw 101 passes through a threaded hole provided on the sealing cover 20 and extends into an injection cavity 105. The other end of the injection cavity 105 extends into the tank body.

[0079] In this embodiment, the screw 101 is rotated to drive the sealing gasket 102 to slide in the injection cavity 105 .

[0080] Furthermore, a vent tube 103 is provided in the rubber seal 201 , and is used to communicate with an external high-pressure conveyor through the vent tube 103 , and the other end of the vent tube 103 is connected to the air port 104 of the injection cavity 105 .

[0081] When the sealing cover is in a buckled and sealed state, the screw 101 is rotated to make it spirally rotate in the threaded hole, thereby driving the sealing gasket to move upward, so that the sealing gasket leaves the air port 104. Then, the external high-pressure conveyor is started to convey 0.8 MPA compressed air into the sealing ring 202 through the vent pipe 103, filling the gap between the raised end 203 and the groove body. The air pressure is used to make the raised end of the sealing ring fit better, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing gasket.

[0082] When the sealing cover needs to be opened, it is only necessary to move the sealing gasket upward to open the air port. At this time, the compressed air will automatically escape through the air port, releasing the restriction between the raised end 203 and the groove body, so that the gap between the raised end and the groove body is filled. When the sealing cover 20 is opened, the friction coefficient can be reduced, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the rubber seal and extending its service life.

[0083] See also Figure 6As shown, a hydraulic cover opening assembly 40 is fixedly mounted on the sealing cover 20, and the hydraulic cover opening assembly 40 includes a connecting member 401, and the connecting member 401 is welded to the sealing cover;

[0084] The hydraulic cover opening assembly also includes a hydraulic cylinder 404, which is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the furnace body by fastening screws, and the hydraulic cylinder 404 is preferably a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, and the protruding end of the hydraulic cylinder 404 is connected to the mounting frame 402 of the connector 401 through a hinge connector 403.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and are intended to be encompassed by the claims of the present invention.
