Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical furnace technology, and more specifically, to an automated feeding device for a vertical furnace. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical furnace is a high-temperature material heating device, which typically has a rectangular or cylindrical furnace chamber, with the heater installed outside the furnace body.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that traditional vertical furnaces mostly rely on manual placement of material boxes into the material hopper during feeding, with the position then recorded in the program. This placement process is labor-intensive, inconvenient, affects product processing efficiency, has poor stability, and causes some contamination to the raw materials. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide an automated feeding device for vertical furnaces, aiming to achieve a more practical and valuable purpose.
