[0002] In the field of high-temperature material processing, ceramic crucibles are a widely used piece of equipment, mainly used for melting, heating and processing various high-temperature materials, such as metals, alloys, glass, and ceramic powders. However, traditional ceramic crucibles have some problems and limitations in actual use, which limit their performance and service life in high-temperature environments.

[0003] Currently, during use, the internal pressure of the crucible increases significantly with rising temperature. Traditional crucibles lack an effective automatic pressure relief mechanism. When the internal pressure is too high, it may cause the crucible to crack or even explode, posing a serious safety hazard to operators. Frequent high-pressure conditions will also accelerate the damage to the crucible and shorten its service life. At the same time, traditional ceramic crucibles usually only have one layer of high-temperature resistant material, which has poor heat insulation performance. In high-temperature environments, a large amount of heat will be lost to the surrounding environment through the crucible wall. This not only wastes energy but may also cause the external temperature of the crucible to be too high, affecting the safety of operators and the stability of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a high-temperature resistant ceramic crucible to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature resistant ceramic crucible to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the lack of an effective automatic pressure relief mechanism in traditional crucibles, which poses serious safety hazards to operators, and the fact that traditional ceramic crucibles usually only have one layer of high-temperature resistant material, resulting in poor heat insulation performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-temperature resistant ceramic crucible, comprising a crucible body and a crucible lid, wherein a fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the crucible body near the upper end, and the crucible lid is fitted inside the fixing ring;

[0007] The front surface of the fixing ring has a slit, the two side surfaces of the fixing ring have placement grooves, the placement grooves have guide grooves, and the fixing ring has multiple grooves around it.

[0012] Preferably, a lid opening is fixedly installed on the front surface of the crucible lid near its lower end, and a sphere is fixedly installed at the front end of the lid opening.

[0013] Preferably, a gate is fixedly installed on the front surface of the crucible body near the upper end, the gate corresponds to the cap opening, both the gate and the cap opening are located in a gap, and the width of the gap is greater than the width of the gate and the cap opening.

[0014] Preferably, an observation window is provided on the upper surface of the crucible lid near the front.

[0015] Preferably, a zirconia high-temperature resistant layer is provided on the inner surface of the crucible body, a boron nitride thermal shock resistant layer is provided on the outer surface of the crucible body, and an aerogel thermal insulation layer is sandwiched between the zirconia high-temperature resistant layer and the boron nitride thermal shock resistant layer.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] This utility model provides a high-temperature resistant ceramic crucible; please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 As shown.

[0025] A high-temperature resistant ceramic crucible mainly consists of a crucible body 1 and a crucible lid 3. The crucible body 1 is the core part of the entire crucible, used to contain high-temperature materials and withstand high-temperature environments. To ensure that the crucible lid 3 can be stably installed on the crucible body 1, a fixing ring 2 is fixedly fitted on the outer surface of the crucible body 1 near the upper end. The function of the fixing ring 2 is to provide a stable support and positioning structure for the crucible lid 3, so that the crucible lid 3 can be tightly locked inside the fixing ring 2, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the crucible body 1 and the crucible lid 3. Through the locking installation method of the fixing ring 2 and the crucible lid 3, the stability of the crucible lid 3 in high-temperature environments is ensured, avoiding the crucible lid 3 from loosening or falling off due to factors such as thermal expansion. At the same time, the design of the fixing ring 2 provides a good sealing environment for the crucible lid 3, which helps to reduce heat loss and the entry of external impurities, thereby improving the heat preservation performance and service life of the crucible.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 2 As shown.

[0027] An observation window 301 is provided on the upper surface of the crucible lid 3 near the front. The observation window 301 allows the user to intuitively understand the state of the high-temperature material inside the crucible without opening the crucible lid 3, thereby better controlling the heating process.

[0028] Specifically, a lid opening 302 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the crucible lid 3 near the lower end. A sphere 303 is fixedly installed at the front end of the lid opening 302. The sphere 303 is located between the gate 101 and the lid opening 302, which plays a sealing role and prevents high-temperature hot air from escaping from between the lid opening 302 and the gate 101. This keeps the temperature inside the crucible stable, reduces heat loss, and means reduces energy consumption and improves energy utilization efficiency, which meets the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0029] Specifically, driven rods 305 are fixedly installed on both sides of the crucible lid 3 near the lower end. The main function of the driven rods 305 is to cooperate with the guide grooves 203 on the fixing ring 2 to realize the automatic lifting function of the crucible lid 3 when affected by hot gas. Multiple pressure relief ports 304 are arranged around the crucible lid 3. The setting of pressure relief ports 304 provides an automatic pressure relief mechanism for the crucible. When the internal pressure of the crucible is too high, some pressure can be released through the pressure relief ports 304 to avoid the crucible from cracking or being damaged due to excessive pressure. Through the automatic pressure relief and automatic lifting functions, the impact of pressure and thermal expansion on the crucible lid 3 is reduced, thereby extending the overall service life of the crucible. At the same time, the automatic pressure relief function can effectively prevent the crucible from exploding due to excessive pressure in extreme cases, thus improving the safety of the crucible during use.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 2 -Appendix Figure 3 As shown.

[0031] The front surface of the fixing ring 2 has a slit 204, and the two sides of the fixing ring 2 have placement grooves 202, and the placement grooves 202 have guide grooves 203.

[0032] Specifically, the guide groove 203 has an upward arc-shaped design. This design allows the crucible lid 3 to move upward along the guide groove 203 when it rises due to the influence of hot gas, thus automatically releasing pressure. An arc-shaped surface 205 is provided at the connection between the guide groove 203 and the placement groove 202. The function of the arc-shaped surface 205 is to ensure that the upward force can break through the arc-shaped surface 205 and enter the guide groove 203 only when the pressure inside the crucible reaches a specific value, thereby achieving automatic pressure release. This design avoids excessive heat loss due to frequent pressure release, which would affect the reaction environment inside the crucible. By reducing unnecessary heat loss, it helps to maintain stable temperature and pressure inside the crucible, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and the processing efficiency of high-temperature materials.

[0033] Specifically, the driven rod 305 is located in the placement groove 202 and slides in the guide groove 203. After the pressure is released, under the gravity of the crucible cover 3, the driven rod 305 drives the crucible cover 3 to reset and reseal the crucible body 1.

[0034] Specifically, the fixing ring 2 has multiple grooves 201 around it, which are used to discharge hot air and pressure.

[0035] Specifically, the pressure relief port 304 is located between the grooves 201, and the pressure relief port 304 and the grooves 201 are staggered. This staggered distribution design helps to reduce the direct loss of heat while releasing pressure and maintain the stable temperature inside the crucible.

[0036] Furthermore, a gate 101 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the crucible body 1 near the upper end. The gate 101 corresponds to the cap 302, ensuring the sealing of the gate 101 and the cap 302 under high temperature conditions.

[0037] Specifically, both the gate 101 and the cap 302 are located within the gap 204. The width of the gap 204 is greater than the width of the gate 101 and the cap 302. This design provides an activity path for the automatic pressure relief function, ensuring the realization of the pressure relief function.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 4 As shown.

[0039] The inner surface of the crucible body 1 is provided with a zirconia high-temperature resistant layer 104, and the outer surface of the crucible body 1 is provided with a boron nitride thermal shock resistant layer 102. An aerogel insulation layer 103 is sandwiched between the zirconia high-temperature resistant layer 104 and the boron nitride thermal shock resistant layer 102. The zirconia high-temperature resistant layer 104 can withstand extremely high temperatures, the boron nitride thermal shock resistant layer 102 can effectively resist thermal shock, and the aerogel insulation layer 103 has excellent thermal insulation performance. The three work together to give the crucible body 1 good stability and service life in high-temperature environments.

[0040] In use, the crucible lid 3 is secured to the crucible body 1 by the fixing ring 2. The fixing ring 2 provides stable support and positioning for the crucible lid 3, ensuring that the crucible lid 3 fits tightly against the crucible body 1 to form a good sealing environment. It ensures that the lid opening 302 is aligned with the gate 101 and is located within the gap 204 of the fixing ring 2. The sphere 303 is located between the lid opening 302 and the gate 101, which plays a sealing role and prevents hot gas from escaping from between the lid opening 302 and the gate 101. It is confirmed that the driven rod 305 is located in the placement groove 202 and can slide freely in the guide groove 203. The pressure relief port 304 is staggered with the groove 201 to provide a channel for the release of hot gas and pressure.

[0041] During the heating process, the material is placed inside the crucible body 1, and the crucible is heated by an external heating device. The zirconia high-temperature resistant layer 104 of the crucible body 1 can withstand extremely high temperatures, ensuring a stable high-temperature environment inside the crucible. Through the observation window 301 on the crucible lid 3, the user can directly observe the state of the high-temperature material inside the crucible without opening the crucible lid 3, thus avoiding heat loss and the entry of external impurities. The sphere 303 acts as a seal between the lid opening 302 and the gate 101, reducing the dissipation of hot gas, maintaining a stable temperature inside the crucible, and improving energy utilization efficiency. As the heating process proceeds, the pressure inside the crucible gradually increases. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the driven rod 305 slides upward along the guide groove 203 under the thrust of the hot gas. When the internal pressure is large enough, the upward force breaks through the arc surface 205 at the connection between the guide groove 203 and the placement groove 202, causing the driven rod 305 to... As the crucible lid 3 enters the guide groove 203, it rises accordingly. After the lid 3 rises, the pressure relief port 304 aligns with the groove 201, allowing hot gas and excess pressure to escape through the pressure relief port 304 and the groove 201. This prevents the crucible from cracking or being damaged due to excessive pressure. The arc-shaped surface 205 ensures that the upward force can only break through the arc-shaped surface 205 and enter the guide groove 203 when the internal pressure of the crucible reaches a specific value, thus achieving automatic pressure relief. This design avoids excessive heat loss due to frequent pressure relief, which could affect the reaction environment inside the crucible. By reducing unnecessary heat loss, it helps maintain stable temperature and pressure inside the crucible, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and the processing efficiency of high-temperature materials. When the internal pressure drops to a safe range, the driven rod 305 slides back to the placement groove 202 along the guide groove 203 under the weight of the lid 3, and the lid 3 resets, resealing the crucible body 1.
