Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to graphite drying furnace technical field, specifically, relate to a high purity graphite drying furnace with circulating air duct structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] High purity graphite refers to the graphite material containing carbon more than 99.99%, because it has high purity, good conductivity, high temperature resistance, chemical stability and other excellent performance, is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, nuclear reactor, high-end battery and other high-tech fields. In these fields, the quality of high purity graphite directly affects the performance and reliability of the product, so the requirement of its production process is extremely strict, and the drying link is a crucial link. High purity graphite drying furnace is a device specially used for removing moisture and other volatile impurities in high purity graphite material, and its working principle is that the circulating hot air is in full contact with the graphite material to take away the moisture in the material, so that the graphite reaches the specified drying degree. In the drying process, not only the effective removal of moisture should be ensured, but also the purity of graphite should be ensured, and the introduction of impurities or the change of graphite structure caused by the drying process should be avoided.

[0003] However, the traditional graphite drying furnace has many drawbacks when used for drying high purity graphite. On the one hand, most of the traditional drying furnaces adopt a single fixed circulating air duct structure, which cannot adapt to the various shapes and stacking methods of high purity graphite materials. Since high purity graphite may appear in different forms in the production process, such as thin sheets, blocks and granules, a single air duct cannot ensure that the hot air uniformly acts on all parts of the material, which may cause uneven drying and result in over-drying or under-drying of some materials, affecting the consistency of product quality. On the other hand, the air duct design of the traditional drying furnace has serious defects in sealing and cleanliness. The joints of the air duct are prone to gaps, which may cause hot air leakage, not only reducing the drying efficiency, but also allowing dust, impurities and other pollutants from the outside to enter the drying area, polluting the high purity graphite material and reducing its purity. At the same time, the inner surface of the air duct is not smooth enough, which may accumulate dust and impurities, and these pollutants may be blown to the graphite material along with the airflow during the hot air circulation, further affecting the product quality.

[0057] Specifically, the principle of the utility model is:

[0058] The core innovation of the utility model is that two modes of transverse circulating air duct and longitudinal circulating air duct are designed, and the mode is flexibly switched through an air duct switching device. The transverse circulating air duct is mainly used for the flat sheet-shaped high-purity graphite material, the transverse main air duct is arranged on one side of the drying area along the length direction of the drying furnace body, a plurality of transverse branch air ducts are connected to the main air duct at intervals, the branch air ducts are connected with the main air duct at an acute angle, and the air outlet is directed to the drying area. When the transverse circulating air duct mode is selected, hot air enters from the transverse main air duct, is smoothly divided into each branch air duct under the action of the acute angle connection, is uniformly blown to the surface of the graphite material, and water is quickly taken away by the horizontal flow of hot air. The longitudinal circulating air duct is suitable for the high-pile block-shaped high-purity graphite material, the longitudinal main air duct is laid at the bottom of the drying furnace, a plurality of longitudinal branch air ducts are connected at intervals, and the air outlet is vertically upward. In the longitudinal circulating air duct mode, hot air enters from the bottom main air duct, is blown upward through the branch air duct, penetrates the material layer, and realizes uniform drying from bottom to top. The switching valve body in the air duct switching device is installed at the intersection of the transverse circulating air duct and the longitudinal circulating air duct, the valve plate slides on the valve seat, and the mode is switched by plugging or conducting the corresponding air duct. When the transverse circulating air duct mode is needed, the valve plate slides to plug the longitudinal circulating air duct, so that the hot air flows along the transverse air duct; conversely, when the longitudinal circulating air duct mode is needed, the valve plate slides to plug the transverse circulating air duct, and the hot air flows along the longitudinal air duct, so as to realize the purpose of selecting the best drying mode according to the material characteristics;

In the transverse circulating air duct, multiple transverse branch air ducts are connected in intervals and connected with the main air duct at an acute angle. This design helps the hot air to be more evenly distributed to each branch, and the adjustable opening air valve can accurately control the air volume of each branch air duct according to the actual situation of the high-purity graphite material, such as thickness, humidity, etc., to ensure that the hot air uniformly covers the surface of the material.

In addition, the inner wall of the air duct is designed with smooth transition, reducing the flow resistance and vortex of the hot air, so that the hot air can flow stably and uniformly in the air duct, ensuring that the hot air and the high-purity graphite material are in full contact, and improving the heat exchange efficiency. In the drying process, the hot air transfers heat to the high-purity graphite material, and the water in the material evaporates after absorbing heat and is carried away by the hot air, realizing efficient drying.
