Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiln technology, specifically a sintering kiln structure. Background Technology
[0002] Sintering is a crucial step in material preparation. After mixing metal or ceramic powder with an organic binder, the initial shape of the part is obtained through pressing or injection molding. This is followed by debinding and sintering. The ultimate goal of sintering is to densify the powder and remove most of the porosity. The accuracy, uniformity, and heating / cooling rates of the kiln directly determine the performance, consistency, and yield of the final product. Vacuum sintering kilns use thermocouples to monitor the furnace temperature in real time, facilitating the adjustment of heater power and thus controlling the furnace temperature. During product sintering, to maintain stable sintering and ensure temperature transfer, the product must be placed stably. Current sintering technologies sometimes use trays to directly place the product into the furnace or pallets to support the product within the furnace.
[0003] The vacuum sintering machine with a tray module disclosed in the existing patent publication number CN223283409U includes a vacuum sintering machine body and a cover. Linear guide rails are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the vacuum sintering machine body. Guide sleeves are fixedly installed on the slides of the linear guide rails. The linear guide rails are vertically arranged and the guide sleeves are horizontally arranged. A guide rod is slidably installed on each guide sleeve. The right end of the guide rod is fixedly assembled with the cover. A support base is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the cover. The tray module is placed on the upper side of the support base. A drive component for lifting and lowering the guide sleeve is installed on the upper side of the vacuum sintering machine body. The detachable tray module on the support base allows the annular parts to be conveniently placed on the tray module after stamping and then placed inside the cover.
[0004] In the aforementioned vacuum sintering machine, a tray module connected to a cover support is used to place the product. However, during the actual sintering process, some materials in the product evaporate, and the condensed solids and sintering residue fall off, affecting the operation of the heating elements inside the furnace and impacting the subsequent sintering effect on the product. To address these issues, a sintering kiln structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] It also includes a sintered inner liner 4, which includes an inner liner body 41, a plurality of placement slots 42 disposed on the inner wall of the inner liner body 41, and a pad strip 43 connected to the bottom of the inner liner body 41.
[0032] The support 5, installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the sintering kiln body 1, is used to support the sintering inner liner 4;
[0033] The positioning component 6 includes a positioning bent rod 61 and a rotating shaft 62 rotatably connected to the middle of the positioning bent rod 61. The rotating shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner liner body 41. A pull rod 64 is provided between the ends of the two sets of positioning bent rods 61 located on the same side of the outer wall of the inner liner body 41. The end of the pull rod 64 is rotatably connected to the positioning bent rod 61. A positioning groove 63 is provided at the bottom of the end of the positioning bent rod 61 away from the pull rod 64.
[0034] And the support frame 7, which includes a frame 71 installed in the sintering kiln body 1 and a positioning block 72 connected to the end of the frame 71 and cooperating with the positioning groove 63; the support member 5 and the support frame 7 cooperate to support and fix the sintering inner liner 4.
[0035] Please see Figure 3The inner liner body 41 has placement grooves 42 on both sides of its inner wall, and the placement grooves 42 on both sides of the inner wall are symmetrically arranged for the sliding placement of the material tray. In actual use, the two sides of the material tray are respectively placed into the corresponding placement grooves 42. Since different parts will be placed on the material tray, the placement position of different material trays can be adjusted according to the height of the parts, and different numbers of material trays can be selected to be placed in the inner liner body 41 for sintering.
[0036] Please see Figure 5 The support member 5 includes a support bar 51 and several support columns 52 connected to the bottom of the support bar 51. The end of the support column 52 away from the support bar 51 is connected to the inner wall of the sintering kiln body 1. There are two sets of support bars 51, and the number of support bars 51 corresponds to the number of pads 43. The top of the support bar 51 is provided with a guide bar, and the bottom of the pad 43 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide bar. The end of the guide groove away from the furnace cover 2 is connected to the outside. Specifically, when the inner liner body 41 is installed, the pad 43 slides into the support bar 51.

Before pushing it into place, pull the pull rod 64 to move it down, which can drive the positioning bent rod 61 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 62. The two sets of positioning bent rods 61 swing synchronously and continue to push the sintering inner liner 4. The positioning groove 63 at the end of the positioning bent rod 61 is placed on the top of the positioning block 72. Move the pull rod 64 up, and the positioning groove 63 engages with the positioning block 72. Insert the limit pin 65 to fix the positioning bent rod 61 in the locked state.
[0042] Outside the furnace, the loaded material trays are slid into the symmetrically arranged placement slots 42 from both sides of the opening end of the sintering inner liner 4. Multiple layers of material trays can be flexibly installed according to the height of the workpiece and the sintering capacity;
