[0003] In current sintering furnaces, silicon carbide ceramics mostly remain stationary during the sintering process, which easily leads to uneven sintering. Furthermore, due to the lack of heat-conducting structures inside silicon carbide ceramics, internal sintering is prone to be slow. To address this issue, a sintering furnace for silicon carbide ceramic production is provided. Utility Model Content

[0006] The limiting component includes a mounting sleeve, on the inner wall of which a threaded rod is rotatably mounted. One end of the threaded rod extends to the lower surface of the mounting sleeve. A positioning hole is provided on the outer surface of the threaded rod. A mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the mounting sleeve. A positioning spring is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] A fixing plate is fixedly installed at one end of the positioning spring, and a positioning pin is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixing plate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] One end of the positioning rod passes through the interior of the fixing spring, and the other end of the positioning rod extends to the outside of the lower surface of the pressure plate.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The placement assembly includes a placement frame, a positioning block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the placement frame, one end of the positioning block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the furnace body, the placement frame is located inside the furnace body, the side wall of the mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the side wall of the placement frame, and the outer surface of the pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement frame.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, by setting a limiting component, the threaded sleeve will drive the pressure plate to move down in the placement frame under the action of the thread, thereby fixing the silicon carbide ceramic in the placement frame. Then, under the action of the positioning spring, one end of the positioning pin will be inserted into the positioning hole, thereby fixing the threaded rod.

It can change according to the shape of the silicon carbide ceramic, thereby improving the stability of the silicon carbide ceramic in the placement frame. The positioning rod is inserted into the interior of the silicon carbide ceramic, which not only plays a positioning role, but also pours heat into the interior of the silicon carbide ceramic, accelerating the sintering of the silicon carbide ceramic, thereby improving the sintering efficiency of the sintering furnace.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a placement component, during the operation of the furnace body, the servo motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the drive rod. As the drive gear rotates, the driven gear drives the rotating column to rotate, which in turn drives the placement frame to rotate in the furnace body under the limit of the positioning block, thereby driving the silicon carbide ceramic to rotate synchronously. Then, the silicon carbide ceramic is sintered while rotating, realizing the simultaneous sintering and rotation of silicon carbide ceramic. Compared with the traditional stationary sintering, it can make the silicon carbide ceramic sintering more uniform, thereby ensuring the sintering quality of silicon carbide ceramic.

One end of the positioning pin 37 passes through the interior of the positioning spring 35 and extends...

A threaded sleeve 39 is threadedly installed on the outer surface of the threaded rod 32. A pressure plate 38 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the threaded sleeve 39.

One end of the positioning rod 312 passes through the interior of the fixing spring 310, and the other end of the positioning rod 312 extends to the lower surface of the pressure plate 38.

[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: the silicon carbide ceramic to be sintered is placed in the placement frame 21, one end of the positioning pin 37 is disengaged from the positioning hole 33, and then the threaded rod 32 is rotated on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 31. Under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 39 will drive the pressure plate 38 to move down in the placement frame 21, thereby fixing the silicon carbide ceramic in the placement frame 21. Then, under the action of the positioning spring 35, one end of the positioning pin 37 is inserted into the positioning hole 33, thereby fixing the threaded rod 32. Under the action of the fixing spring 310 and the fixing ring 311, the positioning rod 312 will change according to the shape of the silicon carbide ceramic. For some silicon carbide ceramics with grooves, one end of the positioning rod 312 will be inserted into the groove.

[0034] The placement assembly 2 includes a placement frame 21. A positioning block 22 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the placement frame 21.

The side wall of the mounting sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the placement frame 21. The outer surface of the pressure plate 38 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement frame 21. A support plate 23 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the furnace body 1. A support block 24 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 23. A servo motor 25 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support block 24.

The driven gear 28 meshes with the drive gear 26. The diameter of the driven gear 28 is larger than that of the drive gear 26.

[0035] The specific implementation method is as follows: During the operation of the furnace body 1, the servo motor 25 drives the drive gear 26 to rotate through the drive rod. As the drive gear 26 rotates, the driven gear 28 drives the rotating column 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the placement frame 21 to rotate within the furnace body 1 under the limit of the positioning block 22, thereby driving the silicon carbide ceramic to rotate synchronously, and then the silicon carbide ceramic is sintered while rotating.

[0036] Working principle: The silicon carbide ceramic to be sintered is placed in the placement frame 21. One end of the positioning pin 37 is disengaged from the positioning hole 33. Then, the threaded rod 32 is rotated on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 31. Under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 39 will drive the pressure plate 38 to move downward in the placement frame 21, thereby fixing the silicon carbide ceramic in the placement frame 21. Then, under the action of the positioning spring 35, one end of the positioning pin 37 is inserted into the positioning hole 33, thereby fixing the threaded rod 32. The positioning rod 312 is fixed by the fixing spring 310 and the fixing ring 31. Under the action of 1, the shape of the silicon carbide ceramic will change. When facing some silicon carbide ceramics with grooves, one end of the positioning rod 312 will be inserted into the groove. During the operation of the furnace body 1, the servo motor 25 drives the drive gear 26 to rotate through the drive rod. As the drive gear 26 rotates, the driven gear 28 will drive the rotating column 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the placement frame 21 to rotate in the furnace body 1 under the limit of the positioning block 22, thereby driving the silicon carbide ceramic to rotate synchronously, and then the silicon carbide ceramic is sintered while rotating.
