Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum furnaces, in particular to a vacuum furnace for processing metal eyeglass frames. Background Art

[0002] A vacuum furnace uses a vacuum system (composed of a vacuum pump, vacuum measuring device, vacuum valve and other components carefully assembled) to discharge some of the substances in the furnace cavity, making the pressure in the furnace cavity less than one standard atmospheric pressure. The space in the furnace cavity is thus in a vacuum state, and the heating system in the furnace generally uses a resistance filament (such as tungsten filament) for electrical heating.

[0003] The main materials of metal full-frame glasses include titanium alloy, nickel alloy and stainless steel. These metal materials have a certain hardness and a high melting point. They generally need to be heated in a vacuum furnace to facilitate staff to adjust the curvature of the metal glasses frame to ensure that the curvature of the frame is suitable for people to wear and has a certain degree of comfort.

[0004] However, when the existing vacuum furnace is in use, its top and the furnace cover are sealed only by a sealing ring. As a result, when the vacuum furnace is vacuuming out the materials in the furnace, the sealing between the furnace cover and the furnace body is poor, resulting in more resources required for heating the furnace, increasing the cost of using the vacuum furnace, and thus making it difficult to promote the use of vacuum furnaces in the metal full-frame glasses processing industry.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary for us to propose a vacuum furnace for processing metal eyeglass frames to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vacuum furnace for processing metal eyeglass frames, which can complete the sealed connection between the furnace cover and the vacuum furnace body through the mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the connecting mechanism. The mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the sealing mechanism can improve the sealing between the furnace cover and the vacuum furnace body, and complete the heating operation of the metal eyeglass frames, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when the vacuum furnace is vacuum-discharging the material in the furnace, the sealing between the furnace cover and the furnace body is poor, resulting in more resources required for heating the furnace and increasing the cost of using the vacuum furnace.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum furnace for processing metal eyeglass frames, comprising a vacuum furnace main body, the top end of the vacuum furnace main body is sealedly connected to a furnace cover, and is rotatably connected to the vacuum furnace main body through a connecting assembly, the top end of the furnace cover is rotatably connected to a connecting mechanism, and passes through the furnace cover to the interior of the vacuum furnace main body, the bottom end of the connecting mechanism is provided with a sealing mechanism, which passes through the interior of the vacuum furnace main body and is slidably connected to the bottom end of the furnace cover.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a rotating wheel, which is rotatably connected to the top of the furnace cover and passes through the interior of the furnace cover. The bottom end of the rotating wheel passes through the interior of the furnace cover and is connected and fixed with a threaded rod. The bottom end of the threaded rod is connected and fixed with a sealing plate, and is slidably connected to the bottom end of the furnace cover and is located at the top of the vacuum furnace body. The outer wall of the threaded rod is sleeved and fixed with a connecting plate, and is located above the sealing plate. The outer wall of the connecting plate is provided with a sealing ring, which is sleeved with the outer wall of the sealing plate and passes through the furnace cover to the interior of the vacuum furnace body.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a heat conducting plate, which is installed inside the top of the vacuum furnace body, with hanging ears provided on both sides of the top of the heat conducting plate, and connecting pieces provided on both sides of the inner wall of the top of the vacuum furnace body. A resistance furnace wire is fixedly installed on the top of the vacuum furnace body and is located below the heat conducting plate and the connecting piece. The bottom end of the sealing plate is slidably connected to a sealing ring, which passes through the inner wall of the vacuum furnace body and is sealed with the inner wall of the vacuum furnace body. A connecting spring is provided at the connection between the sealing ring and the sealing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the furnace cover is provided with an internal thread matching the outer wall thread of the threaded rod, the bottom end of the furnace cover is provided with a telescopic groove matching the sealing plate and the connecting plate, the outer wall of the sealing ring is provided with an external thread, the top of the vacuum furnace body is provided with a docking groove matching the sealing ring, and the inner wall of the connecting groove is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread of the sealing ring.

[0012] Preferably, a movable groove matching the connecting spring is provided between the sealing ring and the sealing plate, the sealing ring and the sealing plate are sealed and connected, and a sealing groove matching the sealing ring is provided at the top of the vacuum furnace body.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

After the furnace cover is sealed with the vacuum furnace body, start the vacuum system in the vacuum furnace body, evacuate the material in the furnace chamber to a vacuum, start the resistance furnace wire heating, and gradually increase the heat in the vacuum furnace body. The heat is then transferred to the metal eyeglass frame through the heat-conducting plate, and the heating operation of the metal eyeglass frame is completed. Then, open the furnace cover, and the staff can use a tool to hook the lugs and move them apart from the connectors, thereby driving the heat-conducting plate to be removed from the inside of the vacuum furnace body, making it convenient for the staff to adjust the curvature of the heated metal eyeglass frame.

[0015] 2. After the staff fit the furnace cover and the vacuum furnace body together, they rotate the wheel. The rotation of the wheel drives the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod rotates and slides inside the furnace cover through the thread, so that the threaded rod drives the sealing plate at the bottom end to move, so that the sealing plate moves and fits and contacts the top of the vacuum furnace body. At the same time, the rotation of the threaded rod drives the connecting plate sleeved on the outer wall to rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate drives the sealing ring to rotate. The sealing ring rotates through the thread to the inside of the vacuum furnace body, so that the sealing ring seals the fitting between the vacuum furnace body and the furnace cover. After the vacuum furnace chamber of the vacuum furnace body is evacuated, the air pressure at the connection between the sealing ring and the sealing plate is greater than the atmospheric pressure in the vacuum furnace chamber of the vacuum furnace body, so that the air pressure at the connection between the sealing ring and the sealing plate pushes the sealing ring to squeeze the connecting spring to contract and move, so that the sealing ring slides from the bottom end of the sealing plate to the inner wall of the vacuum furnace body. The sealing connection between the vacuum furnace body and the furnace cover by the sealing ring, the sealing plate and the sealing ring can improve the sealing between the vacuum furnace body and the furnace cover, and the vacuum performance in the furnace chamber is improved, thereby reducing the resources required for heating the vacuum furnace body.
