Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment equipment technology, specifically to a vacuum heat treatment furnace with controllable pressure relief. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum hot press furnaces mainly consist of furnace body, furnace door, heating and heat preservation and temperature measurement system, vacuum system, gas filling system, water cooling system, control system, hydraulic system, etc. Vacuum hot press furnaces are cycle-operated and are widely used for hot pressing and sintering of cemented carbide, functional ceramics, powder metallurgy, etc. under high temperature and high vacuum conditions. They can also be hot pressed and sintered under gas filling protection.
[0003] Patent document CN215856291 U discloses a multi-purpose furnace with controllable atmosphere for heat treatment, "including a multi-purpose furnace body, an explosion-proof mechanism, and a cooling mechanism. The explosion-proof mechanism includes an explosion-proof valve fixed to the multi-purpose furnace body, a pressure relief pipe connected to the explosion-proof valve, a pressure relief channel opened inside the explosion-proof valve, a guide cylinder fixedly connected inside the pressure relief channel, a valve core movably connected inside the guide cylinder, and an elastic element disposed on the valve core. In this invention, when the internal pressure of the multi-purpose furnace body is too high, the internal gas pressure will drive the valve core to squeeze the elastic element, opening the pressure relief pipe to release the internal pressure, which can prevent the multi-purpose furnace body from exploding due to excessive internal pressure. Furthermore, during pressure relief, the control valve is opened to allow the liquid Freon stored in the storage tank to flow downwards, utilizing the principle of Freon vaporization and heat absorption to cool the discharged gas."
[0004] However, in the above solution, the pressure relief pipe can be opened to release the internal pressure by squeezing the elastic element of the valve core. However, the equipment is only suitable when the internal pressure of the vacuum furnace is too high. As a safety feature of the equipment, it is difficult to control the equipment to release the pressure of the vacuum furnace periodically, which reduces the explosion-proof effect of the vacuum furnace and may pose a safety hazard.

Slide groove. Detailed Implementation
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a controllable pressure relief vacuum heat treatment furnace includes a vacuum furnace 1, a top cover 2 on the top of the vacuum furnace 1, a sealing sleeve 3 on the top of the top cover 2, a cooling cylinder 4 on one side of the sealing sleeve 3, a sealing ring 5, the sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2, and the outer surface of the sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 3, a guide cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 5, a fixing block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide cylinder 6, a connecting block 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 7, a guide rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 8, an installation frame 10 is fitted onto the outer surface of the guide rod 9, a support block 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation frame 10, a groove 20 is opened on the outer surface of the guide cylinder 6, and the outer surface of the connecting block 8 overlaps the inner wall of the groove 20.
[0028] By applying rightward or leftward force to the two limiting blocks 16 respectively, the limiting blocks 16 compress the spring 17, and then apply upward force to the support block 11. The support block 11 then moves the mounting frame 10 upward, and the mounting frame 10 moves the guide rod 9 and the connecting block 8 upward. Then the connecting block 8 moves the fixing block 7 upward, so that the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the guide cylinder 6. The pressure flows outward through the pressure relief pipe 12, and the equipment can be operated to relieve pressure on the vacuum furnace 1, which improves the explosion-proof effect of the device. By setting the sealing sleeve 3 and the sealing ring 5, the sealing performance of the vacuum furnace 1 can be improved, thereby ensuring the working effect of the vacuum furnace 1.
[0029] The inner wall of the cooling cylinder 4 is fitted with a pressure relief pipe 12, and one side of the pressure relief pipe 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide cylinder 6. The outer surface of the cooling cylinder 4 is provided with a water inlet 13.
[0030] Liquid Freon is poured into the cooling cylinder 4 through the water inlet 13. By utilizing the principle of Freon liquefaction and heat absorption, the discharged gas can be cooled down, preventing the discharged gas temperature from being too high and causing burns to the staff. At the same time, the cooling cylinder 4 can make full and effective use of Freon, avoiding the situation of waste of resources due to improper use of Freon.
[0031] A support frame 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing sleeve 3, and the inner wall of the support frame 14 is connected through to the outer surface of the support block 11. A limit frame 15 is provided on the inner wall of the support frame 14. Limit blocks 16 are fitted and connected on both sides of the support frame 14, and the outer surface of the limit block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 15. A spring 17 is fitted and connected to the outer surface of the limit block 16, and one side of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the limit frame 15.
[0032] By pushing the support block 11 downward, the support block 11 pushes the mounting frame 10 and guide rod 9 downward. Then, the guide rod 9 pushes the fixing block 7 downward through the connecting block 8, thereby blocking the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12. Then, the limiting block 16 is lowered, and the spring 17 pushes the two limiting blocks 16 to move in opposite directions, thereby fixing the support block 11 and keeping the vacuum furnace 1 sealed, thus ensuring the working quality.
[0033] An elastic element 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed block 7, and a limit plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic element 18.
[0034] When the internal pressure of the vacuum furnace 1 is too high, the pressure flows into the guide cylinder 6 and then applies upward force to the fixing block 7. After that, the fixing block 7 squeezes the elastic element 18. At the same time, the fixing block 7 drives the connecting block 8 and the guide rod 9 to move upward. Then the guide rod 9 is embedded into the mounting frame 10. At this time, the fixing block 7 separates from the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12, and the internal pressure is released through the pressure relief pipe 12 to prevent the furnace body from exploding due to excessive internal pressure, thus further improving the explosion-proof effect of the device.
[0035] The working principle is as follows: by moving the support block 11 upward, the support block 11 moves the guide rod 9 and connecting block 8 upward through the mounting frame 10. Then, the connecting block 8 moves the fixing block 7 upward, exposing the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12. The pressure flows out of the vacuum furnace 1 through the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12 from the inlet of the guide cylinder 6. This allows the equipment to periodically depressurize the vacuum furnace 1, improving the safety of the device. When the internal pressure of the vacuum furnace 1 is too high, the pressure pushes the fixing block 7 upward. Then, the fixing block 7 squeezes the elastic element 18, causing the fixing block 7 to separate from the opening of the pressure relief pipe 12. The pressure is released through the pressure relief pipe 12, preventing the furnace body from exploding due to excessive internal pressure. This improves the explosion-proof effect of the device and enhances the safety of the equipment. In addition, liquid Freon is poured into the cooling cylinder 4. Through the principle of Freon liquefaction and heat absorption, the exhaust gas can be cooled, preventing the exhaust gas temperature from being too high and causing burns to the staff. Furthermore, the setting of the cooling cylinder 4 allows for the full and effective use of Freon, avoiding the waste of resources caused by improper use of Freon.
