[0022] A plurality of upper return air pipes 9 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the vacuum furnace, the airflow after cooling the product flows into the upper return air box 5 in the upper hearth 1 from the plurality of upper return air pipes 9 after being cooled by the condenser, and then flows to the product in the lower hearth 2 under the action of the centrifugal fan 4, so that the product is cooled, and the return air efficiency of the whole vacuum furnace is improved.
[0023] In some embodiments, the upper air return pipe 9 is arranged in an L shape, facilitating the circulating cooling air to flow into the upper air return box 5 from bottom to top.
[0024] The lower furnace 2 is internally provided with a lower air return box 6 and a condenser installation chamber 8, which are in communication with each other, the lower air return box 6 is used to support the product fixture 7, and the product fixture 7 can place a plurality of products that need to be welded and cooled, and the condenser installation chamber 8 is used to install the condenser. No cooling motor 3 and centrifugal fan 4 are arranged below the lower furnace 2. Therefore, a sufficient limited space for laying the condenser is left below the lower air return box 6, thereby further improving the condensation efficiency of the entire vacuum furnace on the products.
[0025] The lower air return box 6 and the condenser installation chamber 8 are respectively provided with air inlet pipes 12 and lower air return pipes 13 corresponding to them on both sides, and the cooling air can flow into the lower air return box 6 from the air inlet pipes 12 to cool the products. The cooling air gradually heated after cooling the products enters the condenser installation chamber 8 from the lower air return box 6 under the action of the centrifugal fan 4, becomes low-temperature cooling air after passing through the condenser, and flows into the upper air return box 5 from the lower air return pipe 13. Finally, it is blown out through the centrifugal fan 4, realizing the cooling circulation.
[0026] The air inlet pipes 12 and the lower air return pipes 13 are respectively corresponding to the air inlet grooves 10 and the upper air return pipes 9 at the bottom of the upper furnace 1 and are in communication with each other, so that when the upper furnace 1 and the lower furnace 2 are combined, a circulating flow channel for the cooling air to flow is formed in the inside.
[0027] Specifically, after the products are placed in the lower air return box 6, the upper furnace 1 is closed, the cooling motor 3 drives the centrifugal fan 4 to start working, the centrifugal fan 4 draws the air in the upper air return box 5 and directs it to both sides of the upper air return box 5, so that the cooling air can flow into the corresponding air inlet pipes 12 from the air inlet grooves 10 on both sides of the upper air return box 5. The air inlet pipes 12 are in communication with the lower air return box 6 on the lower furnace 2, so the cooling air can directly enter the lower air return box 6 and blow into the surface of the products to dissipate heat. The cooling air heated during the heat dissipation process is drawn from the lower air return box 6 to the condenser installation chamber 8 under the continued action of the centrifugal fan 4, and after being cooled by the condenser, it flows from the lower air return pipes 13 on both sides of the condenser installation chamber 8 to the upper air return pipes 9 in the upper furnace 1, and finally returns to the upper air return box 5.
