Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to metal heat treatment technical field, in particular to a kind of sealing device between online annealing coil. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the induction heating process of metal pipe, especially copper pipe, to prevent its oxidation, copper pipe needs to be placed in a protective gas environment. Currently, the heating zone of the online annealing equipment is set in a large box, in order to ensure that the copper pipe is not oxidized during heating, nitrogen needs to be filled into the entire box, resulting in a large amount of nitrogen consumption. When heating, the oil film on the surface of the copper pipe produces oil fume due to the increase in temperature. These oil fumes not only pollute the outer wall of the copper pipe, but also adhere to the heating coil and the support seat, which may cause a short circuit in the circuit, thereby burning the coil, increasing maintenance costs and reducing the quality of the copper pipe.

[0003] To reduce the use of protective gas nitrogen and reduce the adverse effects of oil fume in the box on the copper pipe and coil, the protective gas is now directly filled into the mica tube, and oil fume is simultaneously extracted from the mica tube. In addition, under the premise of ensuring good sealing effect, a sealing structure that is easy to disassemble, maintain and repair is also needed. In summary, there is an urgent need for a mica tube sealing device with a reasonable design. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at least to solve the technical problem of high maintenance cost in the prior art, and particularly innovatively provides a sealing device between online annealing coils.

[0015] As an optional embodiment of the utility model, optionally, a graphite guide wheel bushing is arranged in the graphite guide wheel and is used for preventing the guide wheel fixing bolt from directly contacting the inner wall of the graphite guide wheel.

[0016] As an optional embodiment of the utility model, optionally, the graphite sealing assembly comprises:
