[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a micropore uniformity control structure for low thermal expansion graphite material, including a worktable 5 with an opening. A ball reciprocating screw 9 is installed on the inner wall of the opening. A second hydraulic cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 5. There are two sets of the second hydraulic cylinder 4, with at least two cylinders in each set. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder 4 is connected to a support pin 14. This structure, by setting multiple sets of second hydraulic cylinders 4 and support pins 14, can ensure the uniformity of support for the mold 3. A drive motor 12 is installed on the inner wall of the opening of the worktable 5. One end of the shaft of the drive motor 12 is connected to the shaft on one side of the ball reciprocating screw 9 through a coupling. The ball reciprocating screw 9 is composed of a fixed seat, a threaded rod, and a screw slide. The top of the screw slide is fixed to the bottom of the mold 3 by bolts. This structure can drive the ball reciprocating screw 9 to run automatically through the drive motor 12, which facilitates the ball reciprocating screw 9 to drive the mold 3 to move horizontally, and facilitates the mold 3 to move horizontally in the first hot pressing assembly 1. The bottom switching positions of the second hot pressing component 7 and the third hot pressing component 8 are connected to a mold 3 fixedly on the ball reciprocating screw 9. The mold 3 is slidably connected to the worktable 5. A bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the top side of the worktable 5. The first hot pressing component 1, the second hot pressing component 7, and the third hot pressing component 8 are set on the top of the bracket 2. The first hot pressing component 1, the second hot pressing component 7, and the third hot pressing component 8 are located on the same horizontal line. The first hydraulic cylinder 104 of the first hot pressing component 1 of this structure performs cold isostatic pre-forming at a pressure of 200MPa and a holding time of 10min, initially densifying the blank to a density of 1.6g / cm³. The first hydraulic cylinder 104 of the second hot pressing component 7 operates at a pressure of 50MPa and a holding time of 1h, causing PMMA to decompose and generate pores, with a temperature increase of 1400℃. The first hydraulic cylinder 104 of the third hot pressing component 8 operates at a pressure of 100MPa and a holding time of 2h, closing large pores and homogenizing micropores, with a temperature increase of 1800℃. Gradient hot pressing is performed as described above, and the porosity decreases from 15% to 8±0.3%, with pore size distribution concentrated to 50~150nm. The first hydraulic cylinders 104 of the first hot pressing assembly 1, the second hot pressing assembly 7, and the third hot pressing assembly 8 are controlled by PLC. The second hot pressing assembly 7 and the third hot pressing assembly 8 have the same structure as the first hot pressing assembly 1, but the pressures of the first hot pressing assembly 1, the second hot pressing assembly 7, and the third hot pressing assembly 8 are different. The first hot pressing assembly 1 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 104 fixed to the top side of the bracket 2. One end of the first hydraulic cylinder 104 is connected to a pressure plate 102, and the pressure plate 102 is internally configured with... A first heater 101 is provided. A limit rod 103 is fixedly connected to the top side of the pressure plate 102. One end of the limit rod 103 passes through the bracket 2 and is located at the top of the bracket 2. The limit rod 103 and the bracket 2 form a sliding connection. This structure can improve the stability of the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 102 through the limit rod 103. The pressure plate 102 is located at the top of the mold 3. The third hydraulic cylinder 6 and the ball reciprocating screw 9 of this device are not on the same horizontal line, so there is no motion interference. Blind holes are opened on the outer walls of both ends of the mold 3. The blind holes are located at the positions of the second hydraulic cylinder 4 and the support pin 14. Correspondingly, one end of the support pin 14 is inserted into the blind hole of the mold 3. This structure allows the support pin 14 to be automatically inserted into the end of the mold 3 by the second hydraulic cylinder 4, thus ensuring the load-bearing capacity of the mold 3 during the stamping process and protecting the ball reciprocating screw 9. The diameter of the support pin 14 can be determined according to the pressure of the first hydraulic cylinder 104. A base plate 10 is provided at the bottom of the mold 3, and a third heater 13 and a second heater 11 are respectively provided on the base plate 10 and both sides of the mold 3. A third hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed at the bottom of the mold 3, with one end connected to the base plate 10. The third hydraulic cylinder 6 is located at one end of the ball reciprocating screw 9. This structure allows the first heater 101, the third heater 13, and the second heater 11 to be controlled by a PLC for easy temperature switching and adjustment. The first heater 101, the third heater 13, and the second heater 11 can achieve uniform heating of the graphite material, ensuring the quality of hot pressing. The third hydraulic cylinder 6 can automatically lift and lower the base plate 10, facilitating the material discharge from the top of the base plate 10 for easy material removal.
[0024] Working principle: When using the micropore uniformity control structure of this low thermal expansion graphite material, the graphite material is first added into the mold 3. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 104 of the first hot pressing component 1 pushes the pressure plate 102 to cold press the graphite material. After the cold pressing is completed, the support pin 14 separates from the mold 3. The ball reciprocating screw 9 drives the mold 3 to move to the bottom of the second hot pressing component 7. Then, the support pin 14 is inserted into the mold 3. Subsequently, the first hydraulic cylinder 104 of the second hot pressing component 7 pushes the pressure plate 102 to hot press the graphite material. During the hot pressing process, the first heater 101, the second heater 11 and the third heater 13 of the second hot pressing component 7 are all heated. Finally, the mold 3 moves to the bottom of the third hot pressing component 8 for the last hot pressing, which improves the micropore uniformity of the graphite product.
