[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a box-type resistance furnace that is easy to maintain mainly consists of a base box 1. Support feet 2 are specially designed at the four corners of the lower end of the base box 1 to ensure the stability of the resistance furnace during use. To effectively dissipate the heat generated by the resistance furnace during operation, multiple heat dissipation vents 3 are provided on the side walls of the base box 1. The furnace body 4 is installed at the upper part of the base box 1. The front end of the furnace body 4 is cleverly connected to a sealing door 5 via a hinge and locking device, allowing the user to easily open the sealing door 5 when placing objects to be heated.

[0024] Multiple locking devices 7 are designed at the rear end of the furnace body 4. These locking devices 7 are used to connect the inspection door 6, ensuring the communication between the inspection door 6 and the inner cavity of the furnace body 4. A sealing strip is specially installed at the connection point between the inspection door 6 and the furnace body 4 to ensure the airtightness of the furnace body 4 during maintenance. To further facilitate maintenance operations, a quick-connect interface 8 is specially designed at the corner of the end face of the inspection door 6. This interface is connected to the connecting pipe 10 via a quick-connect fitting 9, and the connecting pipe 10 is also connected to the inner cavity of the furnace body 4. When maintenance is required, the inspection door 6 and the connecting pipe 10 can be quickly removed simply by opening the locking devices 7.

[0025] The inner wall of the inspection door 6 is designed with a square groove, within which a sealing strip is securely attached using adhesive. This sealing strip adheres tightly to the furnace body 4, ensuring a tight seal during maintenance. The sealing strip is made of high-temperature resistant rubber, capable of withstanding the environmental impact of the resistance furnace operating at high temperatures.

[0026] The locking device 7 is ingeniously designed, consisting of three parts: a fixed base, a locking part, and a connecting base. The fixed base is bolted to the inspection door 6, the locking part is connected to the connecting base, and the connecting base is bolted to the furnace body 4. By moving the locking part, it can be fixed to the fixed base and the sealing strip on the inspection door 6 is compressed, making it fit more tightly against the furnace body 4, thus achieving a good sealing effect.

[0027] The quick-connect interface 8 is designed as an opening passing through the end face of the access door 6, with a protrusion on its inner end to ensure the stability of the interface. The quick-connect interface 8 is fixed to the access door 6, and a sealing ring is fitted at the connection between the interface and the access door 6 to prevent heat and gas leakage. The opening of the interface is also threaded for threaded connection with the quick-connect fitting 9.

[0028] The quick-connect coupling 9 connects to the quick-connect interface 8 via threads, ensuring a tight connection. A sealing ring is also provided at the connection point between the quick-connect interface 8 and the quick-connect coupling 9 to further guarantee the sealing effect. The quick-connect coupling 9 connects to the connecting pipe 10 via a connecting flange; the use of the flange increases the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0029] To ensure the airtightness of the maintenance door 6 when it is closed, a sealing plug is specially designed at the connection between the quick-connect interface 8 and the maintenance door 6. This plug can effectively prevent the leakage of air and heat, ensuring the thermal efficiency and safety of the resistance furnace during operation.

[0030] Operating Procedure: Ensure the resistance furnace is placed on a stable, level surface. Check that the power cord and power socket are intact. Press the locking device, then rotate the hinge to open the sealing door 5. Place the object to be heated into the furnace body 4. Rotate the hinge, then press the locking device to ensure the sealing door 5 is completely closed. Connect the power cord to the power source. Set the temperature and heating time as needed. Start the resistance furnace to begin the heating process. Monitor the heating process using the temperature controller and timer. Adjust the temperature and time settings as needed. After heating is complete, turn off the power. Wait for the furnace body 4 to cool to a safe temperature. Open the sealing door 5 and remove the heated object.

[0031] Disassembly and Maintenance Procedure: Ensure the resistance furnace has completely cooled. Disconnect the power supply to ensure the equipment is de-energized. Move the locking mechanism to disengage it from the mounting base. Gently pull open the access door 6 to separate it from the furnace body 4. Since the access door 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the furnace body 4, it facilitates maintenance of the furnace body 4's interior. Rotate the quick-connect connector 9 counterclockwise to separate it from the quick-connect interface 8. Remove the connecting pipe 10 from the connecting flange. Inspect the interior of the furnace body 4 for any damage or areas requiring repair. Perform necessary cleaning, parts replacement, or maintenance. Reconnect the connecting pipe 10 to the connecting flange. Thread the quick-connect connector 9 to the quick-connect interface 8. Reinstall the access door 6 onto the furnace body 4, ensuring the locking device 7 is correctly secured. After ensuring the access door 6 is closed, check that the sealing plug effectively prevents air and heat leakage. Perform a simple heating test to ensure the equipment operates without leakage. Confirm that all components are correctly installed and secure. Reconnect the power supply and perform a normal operation test to ensure the equipment functions properly.
