Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductive ceramic processing technology, specifically to a circulating device for inert gas in low-temperature sintered conductive ceramics. Background Technology

[0002] Conductive ceramic materials refer to a new type of functional material among ceramic materials that possesses ionic conductivity, electronic or hole conductivity. Conductive ceramics have characteristics such as oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, high temperature resistance and long life. They can be used in solid fuel cell electrodes, gas-sensitive elements, high temperature heating elements, fixed resistors, redox materials, ferroelectric materials and high critical temperature superconducting materials. Based on the composition and structure of conductive ceramics, they can be classified into three categories: oxide conductive ceramics, non-oxide conductive ceramics and composite conductive ceramics.

[0003] Currently, the processing of conductive ceramics requires manual injection of circulating inert gas into the low-temperature sintering furnace to purge air and prevent oxidation of the conductive ceramics at high temperatures. This process necessitates multiple adjustments by the user, thus increasing time costs. Therefore, we propose an inert gas circulation device for low-temperature sintering of conductive ceramics.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a circulation device for inert gas in low-temperature sintered conductive ceramics, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The inert gas circulation device for low-temperature sintered conductive ceramics, through its circulation mechanism, allows the user to circulate inert gas into the low-temperature sintering furnace after installation, thereby expelling air from the furnace and preventing oxidation of the conductive ceramics at high temperatures. When the user needs to circulate the gas, the mounting flange needs to be placed close to the installation location, and then the bolts need to be inserted into the mounting opening. After insertion, the inert gas needs to be injected into the inert gas storage tank. Then, the pressurizer assembly needs to be opened through the controller, allowing the inert gas to be output through the output pipe assembly and the mounting flange, thus enabling the circulation and output of the inert gas.

After the user presses the snap-fit ​​protrusion, it can be removed from the snap-fit ​​limiting plate.

This allows the user to efficiently inject inert gas into the inert gas storage tank.

[0026] In this embodiment, the installation device includes a mounting flange 605, and a mounting opening 606 is provided on the side surface of the mounting flange 605. A first reinforcing rod 603 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the circulation device connecting component, and a second reinforcing rod 607 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the circulation device connecting component. The second reinforcing rod 607 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the circulation device connecting component facilitates the user to limit the use of the output pipe assembly 604.

[0027] Furthermore, the transmission device includes a pressurizer assembly 601, to which an output pipe assembly 604 is fixedly connected. The output pipe assembly 604, which is fixedly connected to the side surface of the pressurizer assembly 601, can transmit inert gas.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing mechanism 7, which includes a snap-fit ​​limiting plate 701, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 702, a snap-fit ​​opening 703, a limiting sealing cover plate 704, a handle 705, a sealing opening 706, a return spring 707, and a limiting opening 708. The snap-fit ​​limiting plate 701 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the circulation device connecting component. The limiting sealing cover plate 704 is inserted into the inner ring surface of the inert gas storage tank 602. The return spring 707 is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the limiting sealing cover plate 704. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 702 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the return spring 707. The limiting opening 708 is opened on the inner ring surface of the limiting sealing cover plate 704. The handle 705 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limiting sealing cover plate 704. The handle 705 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limiting sealing cover plate 704 allows the user to easily operate the limiting sealing cover plate 704.

[0029] In addition, a push-type anti-slip handrail 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the installation limit card frame 2, a controller 5 is installed on the upper surface of the circulation device connecting component body 1, and a universal wheel 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the circulation device connecting component body 1.

[0032] In use, the circulation mechanism 6 allows the user to circulate inert gas into the low-temperature sintering furnace after installing the inert gas circulation device for the low-temperature sintered conductive ceramic.

When circulation is required, the mounting flange 605 should be positioned close to the desired installation location, and bolts should be inserted into the mounting opening 606. After bolt insertion, inert gas should be injected into the inert gas storage tank 602. Then, the pressure booster assembly 601 should be opened via the controller 5 to circulate the inert gas. The inert gas is output through the output pipe assembly 604 and the mounting flange 605. A snap-fit ​​protrusion 702 is provided; after the user presses the snap-fit ​​protrusion 702, it can be removed from the snap-fit ​​limiting plate 701. Then, the limiting sealing cover plate 704 can be removed from the snap-fit ​​limiting plate 701 via the handle 705. This opens the inert gas storage tank 602, allowing the user to efficiently inject inert gas into it. Similarly, pressing the snap-fit ​​protrusion 702 to close the limiting sealing cover plate 704 efficiently seals the inert gas storage tank 602.
