[0002] In the copper strip annealing process, the traditional annealing furnace design often only contains a high-temperature heating zone, and the copper strip directly enters the high-temperature zone for rapid heating to achieve the purpose of annealing. However, this design has some problems. First, since the copper strip directly enters the high-temperature environment from room temperature, it is easy to produce a large thermal stress, which causes the copper strip to deform or crack, affecting the annealing quality. Secondly, the high-temperature heating zone needs to consume a large amount of energy to heat the copper strip to the required annealing temperature, which not only increases the production cost, but also may cause energy waste. In view of this, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model more clear and explicit, the utility model is further explained in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and referring to the drawings.It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary, and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.In addition, in the following description, the description of the known structure and technology is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0019] Please refer to the accompanying Figs. 1-3 A roller hearth annealing furnace for copper strip annealing, comprising a furnace body 1, a high-temperature heating zone 2, a first low-temperature preheating zone 3, a second low-temperature preheating zone 4, an oil cylinder 5, a partition plate 6, a first furnace door 7, a second furnace door 8 and a moving track, the first low-temperature preheating zone 3, the high-temperature heating zone 2 and the second low-temperature preheating zone 4 are sequentially arranged inside the furnace body 1, the partition plate 6 is arranged between the first low-temperature preheating zone 3 and the high-temperature heating zone 2, and between the high-temperature heating zone 2 and the second low-temperature preheating zone 4, the oil cylinder 5 is arranged at the top of the furnace body 1, the partition plate 6 is connected with the oil cylinder 5, the first furnace door 7 and the second furnace door 8 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the furnace body 1, and the moving track is arranged in the furnace body 1.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the copper strip first enters the first low-temperature preheating zone 3 through the first furnace door 7 to be preliminarily heated, so that the thermal stress that may be generated when the copper strip directly contacts the high-temperature zone can be reduced. After heating, the copper strip in the first low-temperature preheating zone 3 is pushed into the high-temperature heating zone 2 through the moving track to perform the main heating process, so as to reach the required temperature for annealing. After high-temperature heating is completed, the second furnace door 8 is opened, and the lifting partition plate 6 is lowered at the same time, so that the copper strip in the high-temperature heating zone 2 can be taken out or transferred to the next process.

[0021] The first low-temperature preheating zone 3 is the first heating stage for the copper strip after entering the annealing furnace. In this stage, the copper strip is exposed to a relatively low temperature, the purpose is to gradually raise the temperature of the copper strip, so that it gradually adapts to a higher heating environment. If the copper strip directly enters a high-temperature environment from room temperature, it may generate a large thermal stress, causing deformation or cracking. Low-temperature preheating can gradually release these stresses and improve the annealing quality of the copper strip. Through preheating, the temperature of the copper strip has already risen, which means that the heat input required in the subsequent high-temperature heating stage will be reduced. This not only reduces energy consumption, but also shortens the time required to reach the annealing temperature. The first low-temperature preheating zone 3 can act as a buffer zone to help maintain the uniformity of the temperature inside the furnace body 1. When the temperature of the high-temperature heating zone 2 fluctuates, the first low-temperature preheating zone 3 can absorb or release part of the heat, thereby slowing down the rate of temperature change. The second low-temperature preheating zone 4 can provide additional preheating for the copper strip coming out of the high-temperature heating zone 2, to ensure that the copper strip reaches the required temperature uniformity before leaving the annealing furnace. In some cases, the second low-temperature preheating zone 4 can also be used to adjust the temperature of the copper strip to meet specific annealing requirements. For example, if the temperature of the high-temperature heating zone 2 is too high, the second low-temperature preheating zone 4 can act as a cooling zone to help reduce the temperature of the copper strip.

[0022] In some embodiments, the furnace body 1 is provided with a circulating fan 9 at the top. The circulating fan 9 is located at the top of the furnace body 1, and its function is to promote the circulation of air or protective gas inside the furnace, to ensure that the temperature inside the furnace is more uniform. This helps to reduce temperature gradients and improve annealing quality. Especially in the high-temperature heating zone 2, the circulating fan 9 can effectively prevent local overheating or temperature unevenness.

[0023] In some embodiments, the furnace body 1 is provided with a support frame 10 at the top, and the oil cylinders 5 are all arranged on the support frame 10. The support frame 10 provides a stable mounting platform for the oil cylinders 5. The oil cylinders 5 realize the lifting function of the partition plate 6 through the connecting partition plate 6. When it is necessary to open the passage between the high-temperature heating zone 2 and the low-temperature preheating zone, the oil cylinders 5 drive the partition plate 6 to descend; when it is necessary to close the passage to maintain temperature isolation, the oil cylinders 5 drive the partition plate 6 to ascend. This not only ensures the convenience of operation, but also ensures the accurate control of the temperature inside the furnace.

[0024] In some embodiments, torsional springs are provided between the first furnace door 7 and the second furnace door 8 and the furnace body 1. The torsional springs provide auxiliary force for the automatic closing or opening of the furnace doors. When the furnace doors are manually opened or closed to a certain extent, the torsional springs will begin to play a role, helping the furnace doors to complete the remaining actions. This not only reduces the burden on the operators, but also ensures that the furnace doors can tightly fit the furnace body 1 when closed, preventing heat leakage and improving the energy efficiency of the furnace.

[0025] In some embodiments, the moving track includes a circulating track 11 and a receiving pallet 12, which is slidingly arranged on the circulating track 11. The circulating track 11 provides a continuous movement path for the receiving pallet 12, so that the receiving pallet 12 can move in a circulating manner within the furnace body 1. The receiving pallet 12 is used to carry the copper strip from the low-temperature preheating zone to the high-temperature heating zone 2 and then to the discharge port. Not only the conveying efficiency of the copper strip is improved, but also the stability and continuity of the copper strip during the annealing process are ensured.

[0026] In some embodiments, L-shaped limiting plates 13 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the receiving pallet 12. The L-shaped limiting plates 13 are used to prevent the copper strip from sliding or deviating during the conveying process. They are symmetrically arranged on the top of the receiving pallet 12, which can effectively limit the movement range of the copper strip and ensure that the copper strip always remains in the correct position.

[0027] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present application are only used for illustrative or explanatory purposes of the principles of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the present application. Therefore, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application. In addition, the appended claims of the present application are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or the equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
