Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field, specifically relating to a non-pressure sintering silicon carbide vacuum furnace anti-backflow collection tank. Background Technology

[0002] Silicon carbide sintering is divided into reaction sintering, pressureless sintering, and recrystallization sintering. Pressureless sintering mostly uses a debinding and sintering integrated furnace. In the whole process, debinding and sintering are completed in a vacuum sintering furnace. Before the temperature reaches 900 degrees, a vacuum state is maintained. In order to form the green body, glue and other components are added. These components will volatilize and be eliminated as the temperature changes. After the temperature reaches 900 degrees, it enters the reaction sintering state.

[0003] Currently, conventional high-temperature vacuum sintering furnaces are equipped with a dedicated degumming system. The connection between the degumming system and the high-temperature vacuum furnace is a straight pipe. During the degumming stage before 900 degrees Celsius, the temperature at this location is relatively low, and the volatilized glue, water vapor, etc., will condense here. As the furnace temperature continues to rise, when the furnace temperature reaches 2300 degrees Celsius, the temperature radiation reaching this location will be around 300 degrees Celsius. The remaining moisture, glue, and other volatile substances will turn into gaseous substances and enter the furnace body, corroding high-temperature components such as graphite. Over time, the insulation layer (mostly graphite felt) will lose its insulation effect due to increased oxidation, and the graphite and other heating components will break due to oxidation, greatly increasing the maintenance cycle and cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a pressureless sintering silicon carbide vacuum furnace anti-rebound collection tank. The vacuum furnace includes a furnace body, and a muffle box is provided inside the furnace body.

The dewaxing tube includes dewaxing tube I, dewaxing tube II, and dewaxing tube III. Dewaxing tube II is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the furnace body. Dewaxing tube I is connected to dewaxing tube II from the inside of the muffle box from top to bottom. Dewaxing tube III is fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the furnace body and aligned with the center of dewaxing tube II. Dewaxing tube III is provided with a cooling water jacket, and a baffle plate is welded to the cooling water jacket. The baffle plate is connected to the cooling water jacket and is filled with cooling water. The collection tank is connected to a condenser, a Roots pump, and a mechanical pump in sequence through pipes.

[0006] The dewaxing tube III is made of metal and is connected to the furnace body via a flange, with a vacuum seal in the middle via a sealing ring.

[0014] The following detailed description of the anti-backflow collection tank for pressureless sintering silicon carbide vacuum furnace provided by this utility model, with reference to the accompanying drawings and an embodiment, will be provided in detail.

[0015] Example

[0016] Reference Figure 1This embodiment describes a pressureless sintering silicon carbide vacuum furnace anti-return collection tank, applied to a vacuum furnace. The vacuum furnace includes a furnace body 1, and a muffle box 2 is provided inside the furnace body 1. The present invention includes a dewaxing cap 3, a dewaxing tube, and a collection tank 9. The dewaxing cap 3, the dewaxing tube, and the collection tank 9 are connected sequentially from top to bottom. The dewaxing tube includes a dewaxing tube I5, a dewaxing tube II6, and a dewaxing tube III8. The dewaxing tube II6 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the furnace body 1. The dewaxing tube I5 is connected from the inside of the muffle box 2 to the dewaxing tube II6 from top to bottom. The dewaxing tube III8 is fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the furnace body 1 and aligned with the center of the dewaxing tube II6. The dewaxing tube III8 is provided with a cooling water jacket, and a baffle plate 16 is welded to the cooling water jacket. The baffle plate 16 is connected to the cooling water jacket and is filled with cooling water. The collection tank 9 is connected sequentially to a condenser 10, a Roots pump 11, and a mechanical pump 12 through pipes.

[0017] The dewaxing tube III8 is made of metal and is connected to the furnace body 1 via a flange, with a vacuum seal in the middle via a sealing ring.

[0018] The baffle plate 16 is provided in several parts, and the baffle plate 16 is inclined downward at 45 degrees to the outer wall of the cooling water jacket and is arranged alternately.

[0019] The cooling water jacket is provided with a cooling water inlet 15 and a cooling water outlet 7 on its outer side.

[0020] Furthermore, the cooling water inlet 15 is located on the lower part of the outer side of the cooling water jacket, and the cooling water outlet 7 is located on the upper part of the outer side of the cooling water jacket.

[0021] The dewaxing cap 3 is screwed onto the dewaxing tube I by threads, and the dewaxing cap 3 has an inverted conical tube 4 inside.

[0022] The collection tank 9 is connected to the dewaxing pipe III8 via a flange. The collection tank 9 is tilted to one side at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. Two baffles are installed inside the collection tank: one baffle A14 is installed on the upper inner wall of the collection tank, and the other baffle B13 is installed on the lower inner wall of the collection tank. The baffle A14 installed on the upper inner wall of the collection tank is also tilted to the opposite side of the tilting direction of the collection tank at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. The baffle B13 fixed on the lower inner wall of the collection tank is arranged parallel to the baffle A14.

[0023] Furthermore, the length of the baffle A14 is not shorter than that of the guide plate B13.

[0024] When installing and using the anti-backflow collection tank for the pressureless sintering silicon carbide vacuum furnace, first fix the dewaxing tube II6 to the furnace body 1. When fixing, ensure that the centers of the dewaxing tube II6 and the dewaxing tube III8 are aligned. Then, connect the dewaxing tube I5 from the inside of the muffle box to the dewaxing tube II6 from top to bottom. Then, screw the dewaxing cap 3 onto the dewaxing tube I5. The dewaxing cap 3 has an inverted conical tube 4 inside, which does not affect the efficiency of vacuuming and can prevent the probability of glue gas entering the furnace body from bottom to top at high temperatures.

[0025] The dewaxing tube III8 is equipped with a cooling water jacket and an internally welded 45-degree baffle plate 16. The glue gas can pass smoothly from top to bottom, but at high temperatures, the glue gas, water vapor, etc., which radiate heat from top to bottom, are blocked by the baffle plate 16 when they enter the furnace body from bottom to top. The baffle plate contains cooling water, which is at a lower temperature, so the gas is cooled and then returns to the collection tank. Even if a small amount of gas enters the furnace body, it will pass through the inverted cone structure inside the dewaxing cap, which will only cause oxidation of the inverted cone structure, thus protecting other graphite components in the heating chamber. The dewaxing tube is a metal component, which further ensures the heat conduction efficiency and cooling effect.

[0026] The collecting tank 9 is connected to the dewaxing pipe III8 by a flange at a 45-degree angle, and an internal baffle plate is also installed at a 45-degree angle. During the lower temperature discharge stage, after the glue and moisture are extracted, they quickly enter the downward-sloping front half of the collecting tank, leaving only a very small amount of glue at the rear. This further reduces the amount of glue gas and water vapor entering the furnace body due to heat radiation at high temperatures. The collecting tank is connected to the condenser, Roots pump, and mechanical pump via pipes. The main function of the condenser is to condense the extracted glue and other gases here, preventing them from entering the Roots pump and mechanical pump, thus better protecting the pump body.
