Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of atmosphere furnace, especially relates to a vacuum box type atmosphere furnace with good temperature and atmosphere uniformity. BACKGROUND

[0002] The vacuum box type atmosphere furnace is a heat treatment equipment widely used in the fields of material research, metallurgy, electronics, etc., and its main function is to heat and treat samples in a vacuum or specific atmosphere environment to meet the processing and research needs of different materials.

[0003] The existing vacuum box type atmosphere furnace is usually composed of a base, a furnace shell, a furnace lining, a furnace door, heating elements, a gas extraction device and a gas injection device. The furnace shell is fixed on the base, the furnace lining is arranged inside for heat preservation, and the furnace door is installed on the side of the furnace shell for convenient sample loading and unloading. The heating elements are distributed on the inner wall of the furnace lining to directly heat the samples placed in the furnace. The gas extraction device is used to extract air from the furnace to form a vacuum environment, and the gas injection device can inject inert or reactive gas into the furnace.

[0004] However, the existing vacuum box type atmosphere furnace has the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0005] Firstly, the heat of the existing vacuum box type atmosphere furnace is mainly transferred to the samples by thermal radiation, and hot spots are inevitable during the heating process, which will cause some samples to be overheated and other samples to be insufficiently heated. This phenomenon is particularly serious for larger furnaces, so it is difficult to achieve uniform temperature; secondly, the gas inlet hole of the existing vacuum box type atmosphere furnace is usually located at the bottom or side of the furnace body, and the gas outlet hole is located at the top or side of the furnace body and far away from the gas inlet hole. The entire furnace shell is an atmosphere space, so the gas will penetrate into the surrounding furnace lining material from the furnace chamber, which cannot guarantee the one-way flow of the gas, making it difficult to achieve truly uniform atmosphere in the furnace chamber.
