[0039] At present, the existing automobile instrument panel production line mainly adopts the slush foaming instrument panel process to manufacture the product, which needs to use a slush molding machine to manufacture a skin, an injection molding machine to manufacture a resin skeleton, and then to finally obtain the product by combining and injecting foaming. The product has soft surface, better appearance and touch than a hard plastic instrument panel.
[0040] The process of manufacturing the skin by the slush molding machine includes: ①heating the mold to 220-250 DEG C; ②combining the mold with the raw material box, constantly turning over, and the raw material is melted and formed on the mold; ③cooling the mold to 20-50 DEG C; ④moving the mold to the demolding station, and the operator completes demolding.
[0041] In the process of heating the mold by slush molding, there are mainly two forms of electric heating furnace and gas heating furnace, the air in the furnace is heated to 400-500 DEG C, and then the mold is sent into the furnace for baking for a certain time, so that the mold is finally heated to the predetermined temperature. However, the existing heating furnace has a lot of heat loss during use, resulting in low heating efficiency.
[0042] After the applicant's careful study, it is found that the existing heating mode of the slush mold has some significant problems, which affects the production efficiency, product quality and operation safety. First, the traditional heating furnace mainly relies on heat conduction and heat convection to transfer heat, and its thermal efficiency is only about 60%, a lot of heat energy is dissipated to the outside of the heating furnace with air when the furnace is opened, resulting in energy waste and cost increase. Secondly, due to the limitation of hot air heating mode, the center area of the mold is more likely to absorb heat than the corner part, causing a temperature gradient of "high center, low corner". This uneven heating effect can easily cause defects such as pinholes on the corners of the product, increasing the scrap rate. Finally, the high-temperature hot air heat transfer makes the outer wall temperature of the heating furnace high (100℃-180℃), which not only brings the risk of burns to the maintenance workers, but also may ignite the surrounding flammable materials such as lubricating oil or other combustible materials, thereby constituting a fire hazard.
[0043] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a heating furnace to solve the problem of how to improve the heating efficiency of the heating furnace.
