Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backwave tube manufacturing, and more specifically, to a magnetic material hydrogen crushing furnace. Background Technology
[0002] The backward-wave tube, a type of traveling-wave tube, is used to generate microwaves in the terahertz range. It can be tuned over a wide frequency range and can be quickly tuned to radar frequencies, making it a promising candidate for radar jamming applications. The backward-wave tube focusing system uses a permanent magnet device made of permanent magnet material.
[0003] The existing manufacturing process for permanent magnet materials includes: batching, smelting, hydrogen breaking, grinding, forming, isostatic pressing, oil stripping, and sintering. The hydrogen breaking process utilizes the hydrogen absorption properties between rare earth metals. The NdFeB alloy block is placed in a hydrogen environment, where hydrogen enters the alloy along the neodymium-rich phase layer, causing it to expand, burst, and break apart. Cracking occurs along the neodymium-rich phase layer, thus transforming the NdFeB alloy from thin sheets into coarse powder. Therefore, the hydrogen breaking furnace in the hydrogen breaking process is a key piece of equipment for producing high-quality permanent magnet materials.
[0004] Existing hydrogen crushing furnaces for permanent magnet materials have furnace bodies made of high-temperature and high-pressure resistant stainless steel or alloys. Heating is achieved by installing heating elements (resistance wires or induction coils) around the inner wall of the furnace body. Cooling is achieved through internal cooling pipes within the furnace body. Temperature control is performed via thermocouples and a temperature control system. An inlet pipe on the furnace body supplies hydrogen gas. Neodymium iron boron alloy blocks are placed in the cavity inside the furnace body before hydrogen crushing begins. Before hydrogen induction, a vacuum is drawn to remove air. During hydrogen crushing, the heating elements provide heating to supply hydrogen, and the inlet pipe provides the hydrogen gas source. After hydrogen crushing, the cooling system provides a cold source to cool and release the hydrogen. Pressure is controlled during the hydrogen crushing process using pressure sensors and safety valves.
[0005] Existing hydrogen pulverizing furnaces used for hydrogen pulverizing permanent magnet materials have poor hydrogen pulverizing effects, with large differences in particle size of the pulverized products and a relatively serious agglomeration phenomenon. Utility Model Content

[0029] A magnetic material hydrogen crushing furnace includes a horizontal furnace body 1, which includes a furnace body 11, a front cover 12, and a rear cover 13. The furnace body 11, the front cover 12, and the rear cover 13 form a working chamber 14. A discharge pipe 15 is provided at the bottom of the furnace body 11, and the inlet end of the discharge pipe 15 is located inside the working chamber 14. Heating elements 2 are installed around the inner wall of the working chamber 14. A cooling system is provided inside the working chamber 14. The center of the working chamber 14 is a hydrogen crushing generation zone. A collector 4 is provided below the hydrogen crushing generation zone to receive hydrogen crushing particles from the hydrogen crushing generation zone. A hydrogen inlet pipe 16 connected to the rear cover 13 and communicating with the working chamber 14 is provided. The outlet of the collector 4 is connected to the inlet of the discharge pipe 15.
[0030] Those skilled in the art should also understand that the horizontal furnace body 1 of this utility model is of course also equipped with existing mature components such as thermocouples and temperature control systems, pressure sensors, and safety valves, which are not the inventive points of this utility model and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] By setting up collector 4, the hydrogen fragments generated in the hydrogen fragmentation zone are collected and discharged from the discharge pipe 15 below, which prevents the product particles after hydrogen fragmentation from leaving the furnace body 1 through other paths or from staying in the furnace body 1, thereby improving the production yield.
[0032] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, in order to facilitate maintenance and loading, the furnace front cover 12 is a detachable furnace front cover. The detachable method can be by flange connection or other detachable methods. This is a mature technology and is not particularly limited here.
[0033] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, for ease of maintenance, the furnace rear cover 13 is a detachable furnace rear cover. The detachable method can be a flange connection or other detachable methods, which are mature technologies and are not particularly limited here.
[0034] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, a hydrogen crushing reactor 3 is provided in the hydrogen crushing generation zone. The hydrogen crushing reactor 3 includes a horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31, which includes a front cover 32, a body 33, and a rear bottom 34. The body 33 and the rear bottom 34 are connected as one unit. The front cover 32, body 33, and rear bottom 34 form a reaction chamber 37. The front cover 32 is a removable cover. A rotating shaft 35 is connected to the rear bottom 34, with the other end of the rotating shaft 35 extending out of the furnace rear cover 13. Those skilled in the art should understand that the rotating shaft 35 can be driven by a motor 5, or by existing methods such as gears or cylinders. This is mature technology and is not particularly limited here, as long as the rotating shaft 35 can rotate and drive the horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31 connected to it to rotate. By setting up a horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31 and a rotating shaft 35, the rotation during hydrogen crushing can drive the movement of the blocky material inside, thereby increasing the reaction contact area and improving the reaction effect.
[0035] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the removable method of the front cover of the removable hydrogen crushing reaction unit can be a screw and nut threaded connection, or other removable, installable, and re-removable methods. No particular limitation is made here, as long as the removable and installable methods can be achieved.
[0036] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the front cover 32 of the hydrogen crushing reaction unit is connected to an anti-offset shaft 36, and the inner wall of the furnace front cover 12 is provided with a limiting circular groove 17. The other end of the anti-offset shaft 36 is located in the limiting circular groove 17 to prevent the center from shifting during rotation.
[0037] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the bottom 34 of the hydrogen crushing reaction unit is evenly distributed with pores 38, and the body 33 of the hydrogen crushing reaction unit is evenly distributed with through-holes 39 for the hydrogen-crushed product particles. Through the arrangement of the pores 38 and the through-holes 39, during hydrogen crushing, hydrogen gas permeates the lumps in an enveloping manner through the pores 38 and the through-holes 39. With the horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31 rotating, the reaction is more complete and the crushing is more uniform. Uncrushed lumps, being larger than the diameter of the through-holes 39, remain in the reaction chamber 37, while particles smaller than the diameter of the through-holes 39 after crushing leave the reaction chamber 37 and enter the collector 4 below for stabilization, reducing the amount of reactant material in the reaction chamber 37 and further improving reaction efficiency. During and after hydrogen crushing, because the material is in a rotating state, it is in motion and separation, reducing particle aggregation and greatly improving the agglomeration phenomenon.
[0038] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the diameter of the through-hole 39 of the hydrogen-crushed product particles is 20-50 μm, the diameter of the pore 38 is 1-8 μm, the porosity of the through-hole 39 of the hydrogen-crushed product particles is 3-10%, and the porosity of the pore 38 is 3-10%. At this time, a better overall effect can be obtained.
[0039] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31 can be square or circular.
[0040] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the collector 4 is hopper-shaped, and the diameter of the collector decreases the further away from the hydrogen crushing reaction unit 33. The hopper shape facilitates the collection of product particles coming from the hydrogen crushing product particles through the orifice 39, preventing product particles from flying around in the working chamber 14.
[0041] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the outlet end of the discharge pipe 15 is connected to a flared section with an opening facing downwards. The purpose of the flared section is to facilitate product discharge and avoid blockage.
[0042] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, the cooling system includes a cooling pipeline system 6 and an inert gas cooling system. The cooling pipeline system 6 is installed in the working chamber 14 outside the horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31 above the collector 4. The inert gas cooling system includes an inert gas pipe 7 connected to the furnace rear cover 13. During the cooling stage after hydrogen crushing, in the initial stage of cooling, the cooling pipeline system 6 is turned on for rapid cooling, on the one hand to stabilize the hydrogenation products and on the other hand to accelerate the reaction process. At this time, hydrogen gas continues to be introduced. In the later stage of cooling, the cooling pipeline system 6 is turned off and the inert gas cooling system is turned on, on the one hand to discharge the hydrogen gas and on the other hand to cool slowly, which is conducive to the release of internal stress and promotes uniform crushing.
[0043] In one or more specific embodiments of this utility model, an air distributor is installed inside the working chamber 14 and outside the horizontal hydrogen crushing reaction unit 31, and the air distributor is connected to the hydrogen inlet pipe 16.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
