Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bell-type furnaces, specifically to a rapid cooling structure for bell-type furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] A bell-type furnace is a heat treatment furnace consisting of a furnace base and a bell shell. Bell-type furnaces are generally used for annealing metals.

[0003] Metal annealing is a heat treatment process designed to improve the properties of metals through heating, holding, and cooling. The main steps include heating, holding, and cooling. Annealing is typically performed in a bell-type furnace, usually by heating the furnace hood using a heating device such as a spray gun. Holding is achieved through a double-layered, sealed shell. Cooling depends on the metal being treated and is generally divided into rapid cooling and slow cooling. Rapid cooling is achieved by pouring cooling water onto the inner shell, while slow cooling is achieved by opening the outer shell to expose the inner shell to air. While rapid cooling with cooling water can achieve quick cooling, it also poses corrosion problems and safety hazards. Therefore, a new rapid cooling structure for bell-type furnaces is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section and proposes the following technical solutions:

[0005] A rapid cooling structure for a bell-type furnace includes a furnace bottom, an inner cover, and an outer cover. The inner cover and outer cover are respectively installed on the furnace bottom, with the outer cover fitted over the inner cover. The furnace bottom includes a base, an inner cover mounting platform, and a material platform. The outer cover is fixed to the base, and the inner cover mounting platform is fixed at the middle of the base. An annular mounting groove is provided above the inner cover mounting platform, and the bottom of the inner cover is installed in the annular mounting groove. A sealing cover is provided on the inner cover mounting platform, and the material platform is installed on top of the sealing cover. A motor mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the inner cover mounting platform, and a fan motor is installed in the motor mounting groove. The fan motor is connected to a rotating shaft, one end of which passes through the top of the motor mounting groove and is connected to a fan. The fan is located inside the sealing cover. Ventilation ducts are provided on the inner cover mounting platform and the base, and several openable and closable ventilation openings are provided on the sealing cover.

[0006] The inner cover has an exhaust vent at the top, and an electromagnetic valve is installed inside the exhaust vent. The outer cover has an air outlet on one side.

[0007] Preferably, the inner cover is threadedly connected to the annular mounting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the openable vent includes a vent, a baffle, and a lifting cylinder. The vent is located on the sealing cover. Baffle grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the vent. A baffle placement groove is provided on the top of the vent. A baffle slot is provided on the bottom of the vent. The baffle is located in the baffle slot. A cylinder placement groove is provided on the inner cover mounting platform. The cylinder placement groove communicates with the baffle placement groove. The lifting cylinder is located in the cylinder placement groove. A lifting rod is connected to the lifting cylinder. One end of the lifting rod is fixed to the bottom of the baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle is made of heat-insulating material.

[0010] Preferably, the outer periphery of the outer cover is provided with heat dissipation pipes, and the heat dissipation pipes are connected to the air outlet.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3A rapid cooling structure for a bell-type furnace includes a furnace bottom 1, an inner cover 2, and an outer cover 3. The inner cover 2 and the outer cover 3 are respectively installed on the furnace bottom 1, with the outer cover 3 covering the outside of the inner cover 2. The furnace bottom 1 includes a base 1-1, an inner cover mounting platform 1-2, and a material platform 1-3. The outer cover 3 is fixed to the base 1-1, and the inner cover mounting platform 1-2 is fixed in the middle of the base 1-1. An annular mounting groove 1-21 is provided above the inner cover mounting platform 1-2, and the bottom of the inner cover 2 is installed in the annular mounting groove 1-21. A sealing cover 7 is installed on the mounting platform 1-2. The material platform 1-3 is installed on the top of the sealing cover 7. A motor mounting slot 1-22 is installed at the bottom of the inner cover mounting platform 1-2. A fan motor 4 is installed in the motor mounting slot 1-22. The fan motor 4 is connected to a rotating shaft 5. One end of the rotating shaft 5 passes through the top of the motor mounting slot 1-22 and is connected to a fan 6. The fan 6 is located inside the sealing cover 7. Ventilation ducts 8 are installed on the inner cover mounting platform 1-2 and the base 1-1. Several openable and closable ventilation openings 9 are installed on the sealing cover 7.

[0024] An exhaust vent 2-1 is provided on the top of the inner cover 2, and an electromagnetic valve 2-2 is provided inside the exhaust vent 2-1. An air outlet 3-1 is provided on one side of the outer cover 3.

[0025] Preferably, the inner cover 2 is threadedly connected to the annular mounting groove 1-21.

[0026] In actual operation, when cooling is required, the fan motor 4 can be started, which will drive the fan 6 to rotate. The rotation of the fan 6 will draw cold air from the outside through the ventilation duct 8 into the sealed cover 7. At this time, the openable vent 9 on the sealed cover can be opened, and the solenoid valve 2-2 and the air outlet 3-1 in the exhaust port 2-1 can be opened, allowing the cold air to enter the inner cover 2. The heat in the inner cover 2 is then discharged from the exhaust port 2-1 into the outer cover 3, and then discharged into the air through the air outlet 3-1. This cooling method can be carried out continuously, which can quickly reduce the working temperature inside the bell furnace, thereby meeting the annealing requirements of some metals. In addition, this method eliminates the need for traditional water injection, which can further ensure the structure and hardness of the metal.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Referring to the figure, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the openable vent 9 includes a vent 9-1, a baffle 9-2, and a lifting cylinder 9-3. The baffle 9-2 is made of heat insulation material such as rock wool board or asbestos, which can effectively isolate the heat inside and outside the sealing cover 7. The vent 9-1 is located on the sealing cover 7. Baffle slide grooves 9-11 are provided on the left and right sides of the vent 9-1. A baffle placement groove 9-2 is provided on the top of the vent 9-1. A baffle slot 9-13 is provided on the bottom of the vent 9-1. The baffle 9-2 is located in the baffle slot 9-13. A cylinder placement groove 1-23 is provided on the inner cover mounting platform 1-2. The cylinder placement groove 1-23 is connected to the baffle placement groove 9-2. The lifting cylinder 9-3 is located in the cylinder placement groove 1-23. A lifting rod 10 is connected to the lifting cylinder 9-3. One end of the lifting rod 10 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 9-2.

[0029] In actual operation, when heat dissipation is required, the lifting cylinder (9-3) can be activated to pull the lifting rod 10 downward. The lifting rod 10 drives the baffle 9-2 to move downward along the direction of the baffle slide groove 9-11 until the vent 9-1 opens. At this time, the cold air blown in by the fan 6 from the bottom ventilation duct 8 will enter the inner cover 2 through the vent 9-1 and quickly cool the inside of the inner cover 2.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] Referring to the figure, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a heat dissipation pipe 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the outer cover 3. The heat dissipation pipe 11 is connected to the air outlet 3-1. The heat dissipation pipe 11 dissipates the hot air emitted from the air outlet 3-1, which can avoid the problem of a large amount of hot air emitting and burning the staff.
