BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present utility model.
[0014] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the upper end of the lower tray 1 is connected to the pressure-bearing fixed plate 2, the upper end of the pressure-bearing fixed plate 2 is connected to the front end plate 5, the upper end of the front end plate 5 is provided with a box body 6, the upper end of the box body 6 is connected to the rear cover plate 8, a long pile core 7 is provided in the box body 6, the upper end of the long pile core 7 is connected to the rear end plate 14, the upper end of the rear end plate 14 is provided with a plurality of disc springs 13, the upper end of the disc spring 13 is connected to the pressure plate 12, the upper end of the pressure plate 12 is connected to one end of the equalizing column 10, and the other end of the equalizing column 10 passes through the rear cover plate 8 and is connected to the upper pressure plate 11.
[0017] Several positioning blocks 3 are installed on the side of the pressure-bearing fixed plate 2. Each block 3 has a notch 4 that mates with the front end plate 5, positioning the front end plate 5. The positioning blocks 3 include two blocks arranged in the X direction and another in the Y direction. The positioning blocks 3 are bolted to the pressure-bearing fixed plate 2 and provide positioning in both the X and Y directions during long stack press assembly.
[0018] The box body 6 and the rear cover plate 8 are fixed by bolts 9 .
[0019] The lower end of the upper platen 11 is provided with a rectangular slot 11-1, and the upper end of the equalizing column 10 is provided with a slide plate 10-1 that matches the rectangular slot 11-1. The upper platen 11 and the equalizing column 10 are slidably connected to each other, allowing for easy adjustment and replacement. The equalizing column 10 and the upper platen 11 are fastened together with bolts.
[0020] The rear cover plate 8 is provided with a plurality of through holes 8 - 1 which match the equalizing columns 10 .
[0021] The lower tray 1 and the upper plate 11 are made of 45# steel, and the surface is oxidized and blackened to prevent corrosion. When in use, M10 threaded holes are pre-processed on the lower tray 1 and the upper plate 11 to facilitate subsequent assembly.
[0022] The material of the pressure fixing plate 2 is P20 steel, and its upper and lower surfaces are heat treated with a quenching depth of 2mm to improve its surface hardness and ensure that there is no deformation after bearing several tons of pressing force.
[0023] The balancing columns 10 are made of 45# steel and serve as force transmitters during press-assembly of the long stack core 7. In this embodiment, the flatness of the three balancing columns 10 is 0.1, ensuring uniform force distribution on the pressure plate 12 during stack press-assembly. The three balancing columns are removable and replaceable, allowing for adjustment of spacing between them as needed, or for remanufacturing of columns with different diameters to accommodate the needs.
