Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphitization furnace technology, specifically a novel temperature control device for graphitization furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] A graphitization furnace is a furnace used to produce graphitized products. Graphitization furnaces are mainly used for the sintering and graphitization of carbon materials, graphitization of PI films, graphitization of thermal conductive materials, sintering of carbon fiber ropes, sintering and graphitization of carbon fiber filaments, purification of graphite powder, and high-temperature treatment of other materials that can be graphitized in a carbon environment.
[0003] According to the public disclosure number "A Temperature Control System for a Graphitization Furnace," a temperature control system for a graphitization furnace is disclosed. This technology discloses a "temperature control system for a graphitization furnace, including a shell, a sealing end cap, and a crucible. The sealing end cap is located directly above the shell, and the crucible is located inside the sealing end cap. A connecting component is installed between the shell and the sealing end cap, and a temperature control mechanism is fixedly installed inside the shell." This system has the following technical effects: "A sealed heating environment can be formed through the shell and the sealing end cap, allowing the crucible to be heated at high temperatures between the shell and the sealing end cap. Simultaneously, the shell and the sealing end cap can also block heat conduction and provide insulation. The connecting component connects the shell and the sealing end cap and allows adjustment of the opening and closing state between the shell and the sealing end cap. The temperature control mechanism can regulate the temperature inside the shell, ensuring that the internal temperature is controlled within a suitable range, thus improving the efficiency of high-temperature processing."
[0004] There is an operational inconvenience in the use of existing horizontal graphitization furnaces: the control panel of its temperature control device is usually fixed to the outside of the graphitization furnace. This means that when the operator is on the work platform above the graphitization furnace, they cannot directly touch the control panel to operate it. This not only affects work efficiency, as the operator needs to frequently go up and down the graphitization furnace to adjust the temperature, but also may pose safety hazards, especially in the high temperature and high pressure working environment, where frequent movement increases the risk of accidents. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel temperature control device for a graphitization furnace. The control panel of the temperature control device can be height-adjusted via an adjustment component, allowing operators to access the control panel from either the ground or the platform of the graphitization furnace.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel temperature control device for a graphitization furnace, comprising a graphitization furnace, wherein a control mechanism is provided on the graphitization furnace for controlling the temperature inside the furnace, the control mechanism comprising:
[0007] The adjustment assembly includes an outer rod positioned in front of the graphitization furnace, an inner rod slidably mounted through the upper end of the outer rod, a pull rod slidably mounted through the inner rod, a retaining ring fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the pull rod, a guide frame fixed to the bottom of the pull rod, plugs slidably mounted at both ends of the guide frame, a cavity opened at the upper end of the inner rod, a spring installed inside the cavity and sleeved on the pull rod, and several longitudinally equidistant insertion holes opened at both ends of the outer rod, and a control panel mounted on the adjustment assembly;
[0008] A movable component is located at the front end of the graphitization furnace and is used to control the movement of the regulating component.
[0009] Preferably, the moving component includes a lower guide rail fixed below the front end of the graphitization furnace, a base fixed to the bottom of the outer rod, and lower guide wheels rotatably mounted at both ends of the base and cooperating with the lower guide rail.
[0010] Preferably, the moving component further includes an upper guide rail fixed above the front end of the graphitization furnace, a base fixed to the rear end of the outer rod, and upper guide wheels rotatably mounted at the four corners of the rear end of the base and cooperating with the upper guide rail.
[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a handrail fixed to the front end of the outer rod and a handle fixed to the upper end of the inner rod.
[0012] Preferably, the control mechanism further includes a bearing fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the inner rod, a shaft bracket hinged to the bearing, and the control panel fixed to the shaft bracket.
[0013] Preferably, the guide frame is slidably installed with a plug through an internal groove, and the plug and the inner rod are slidably installed laterally through each other.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] This invention provides a novel temperature control device for a graphitization furnace. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. When adjusting the height of the control panel, hold the handrail and pull the lever upwards. The lever, through the guide bracket, causes the plug to retract into the outer rod. By holding the handrail, the inner rod can be extended and retracted along the outer rod, thus adjusting the height of the lever on the outer rod. Once the control panel is adjusted to the appropriate height, release the lever. The spring's return pressure pushes the retaining ring, causing the lever to move forward. The lever, through the guide bracket, causes the plug to extend outwards and insert into the corresponding socket, thus fixing the height of the inner rod extending from the outer rod and fixing the height of the control panel on the inner rod. This allows operators to access the control panel from the ground or the graphitization furnace platform.
[0017] 2. When the operator is standing on the ground, the entire control mechanism is moved laterally by the handrail. When the operator is operating on the platform of the graphitization furnace, the entire control mechanism is moved laterally by the handle. Furthermore, when the adjustment component moves laterally, it causes the lower guide wheel on the base to roll along the lower guide rail, thereby improving the smoothness of the adjustment component's movement. At the same time, when the adjustment component moves laterally, it also causes the upper guide wheel on the base to roll along the upper guide rail, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment component's movement.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel temperature control device for a graphitization furnace, comprising a graphitization furnace 1, wherein a control mechanism 2 is provided on the graphitization furnace 1 for controlling the temperature inside the graphitization furnace 1, the control mechanism 2 comprising:
[0027] The adjustment assembly 21 includes an outer rod 211 located in front of the graphitization furnace 1. An inner rod 212 is slidably installed through the upper end of the outer rod 211. A pull rod 213 is slidably installed through the inner rod 212. A retaining ring 214 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the pull rod 213. A guide frame 215 is fixed to the bottom of the pull rod 213. Plugs 216 are slidably installed at both ends of the guide frame 215. A cavity 217 is opened at the upper end of the inner rod 212. A spring 218 is installed inside the cavity 217 and sleeved on the pull rod 213. Several insertion holes 219 are arranged longitudinally at equal intervals at both ends of the outer rod 211. A control panel 23 is installed on the adjustment assembly 21.
[0028] The moving component 22 is located at the front end of the graphitization furnace 1 and is used to control the movement of the regulating component 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the height of the control panel 23 needs to be adjusted, by holding the armrest 2110 and pulling the lever 213 upwards, the lever 213 drives the plug 216 to retract into the outer rod 211 via the guide frame 215. Thus, by holding the armrest 2110, the inner rod 212 can be controlled to extend and retract along the outer rod 211, thereby adjusting the height position of the lever 213 on the outer rod 211. After the control panel 23 is adjusted to a suitable height, the lever 213 is released, and the pressure of the spring 218 pushes the retaining ring 214 to move the lever 213 upwards. The lever 213 drives the plug 216 to extend outwards via the guide frame 215 and insert it into the corresponding socket 219, thereby fixing the height of the inner rod 212 extending from the outer rod 211, and fixing the height position of the control panel 23 on the inner rod 212. This allows the operator to operate the control panel 23 from the ground or on the platform of the graphitization furnace 1.
[0030] Specifically, the moving component 22 includes a lower guide rail 221 fixed below the front end of the graphitization furnace 1, and a base 222 fixed at the bottom of the outer rod 211. Both ends of the base 222 are rotatably mounted with lower guide wheels 223 that cooperate with the lower guide rail 221.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the adjustment component 21 moves laterally, it drives the lower guide wheel 223 on the base 222 to roll along the lower guide rail 221, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the adjustment component 21.
[0032] Specifically, the moving component 22 also includes an upper guide rail 224 fixed above the front end of the graphitization furnace 1, a base 225 fixed to the rear end of the outer rod 211, and upper guide wheels 226 rotatably mounted at the four corners of the rear end of the base 225 and cooperating with the upper guide rail 224.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the adjustment component 21 moves laterally, it drives the upper guide wheel 226 on the base 225 to roll along the upper guide rail 224, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment component 21 during the movement process.
[0034] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 21 also includes a handrail 2110 fixed to the front end of the outer rod 211, and a handle 2111 fixed to the upper end of the inner rod 212.
[0035] In this embodiment, when the operator is standing on the ground, the entire control mechanism 2 is moved laterally by the handrail 2110. When the operator is operating on the platform of the graphitization furnace 1, the entire control mechanism 2 is moved laterally by the handle 2111.
[0036] Specifically, the control mechanism 2 also includes a bearing seat 24 fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the inner rod 212, a shaft bracket 25 hinged to the bearing seat 24, and the control panel 23 fixed to the shaft bracket 25.
[0037] In this embodiment, the control panel 23 can rotate 180° through the shaft bracket 25 and the shaft seat 24, so that when the operator is standing on the ground, the control panel 23 faces forward, and when the operator is on the platform of the graphitization furnace 1, the control panel 23 faces backward, which is convenient for the operator to operate.
[0038] Specifically, the guide frame 215 is slidably installed with the plug 216 through an internal groove, and the plug 216 and the inner rod 212 are slidably installed through each other laterally.
[0039] In this embodiment, when the guide frame 215 moves longitudinally, the plug 216 can be driven to move laterally through the inclined groove, and the two plugs 216 move in opposite directions.
[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the control panel 23, by holding the handle 2110 and pulling the lever 213 upward, the lever 213 drives the plug 216 to retract into the outer rod 211 through the guide frame 215. Thus, by holding the handle 2110, the inner rod 212 can be controlled to extend and retract along the outer rod 211, thereby adjusting the height position of the lever 213 on the outer rod 211. After the control panel 23 is adjusted to a suitable height, the pulled lever 213 is released, and the pressure of the spring 218 pushes the retaining ring 214 to move the lever 213 upward. The lever 213 drives the plug 216 to extend outward through the guide frame 215 and insert it into the corresponding socket 219, thereby fixing the height of the inner rod 212 extending from the outer rod 211, and fixing the height position of the control panel 23 on the inner rod 212. This allows the operator to operate the control panel 23 from the ground or on the platform of the graphitization furnace 1.
[0041] When the operator is standing on the ground, the entire control mechanism 2 is moved laterally via the handrail 2110. When the operator is operating on the platform of the graphitization furnace 1, the entire control mechanism 2 is moved laterally via the handle 2111. Furthermore, when the adjustment component 21 moves laterally, it causes the lower guide wheel 223 on the base 222 to roll along the lower guide rail 221, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the adjustment component 21. At the same time, when the adjustment component 21 moves laterally, it also causes the upper guide wheel 226 on the base 225 to roll along the upper guide rail 224, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment component 21 during movement.
