Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of uniform temperature furnace structure technology, and in particular to a heat circulation structure in a bar stock uniform temperature furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum bars require heat treatment before extrusion molding to ensure their plasticity, reduce deformation resistance, and eliminate structural defects. In traditional processes, aluminum bars are typically heated directly using induction heating furnaces or gas heating furnaces. The rapid heating of induction heating or gas furnaces can easily cause a large temperature difference between the surface and core of the aluminum bar (up to 50-100℃), and along the length direction, there is overheating at the head and underheating at the tail, leading to problems such as cracks and dimensional deviations during extrusion.

[0003] Therefore, such equipment has problems such as poor temperature uniformity, high energy consumption, and large heat loss. Especially when processing high-strength aluminum alloys, it is easy to cause defects such as coarse grains and uneven mechanical properties due to temperature differences, which affects the quality of finished products. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat circulation structure in a bar heating furnace to solve the problems of large temperature difference between the bar surface and core, overheating at the head, and underheating at the tail in traditional aluminum bar heating equipment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a heat circulation structure in a bar stock homogenizing furnace, including a hot air circulation cavity disposed inside the furnace body;

[0006] The hot air circulation chamber includes a connected heating return air chamber and two side air outlet chambers. The bar stock is located between the two side air outlet chambers and is continuously heated by blowing hot air.

[0007] A circulating fan unit is installed above the heating return air chamber. The air inlet of the circulating fan unit is connected to the heating return air chamber, and the air outlet is connected to the double-sided air outlet chamber through the air duct. Under the action of the circulating fan unit, hot air circulates between the heating return air chamber and the double-sided air outlet chamber.

[0008] A burner is provided on one side of the heating return air chamber, which heats the circulating hot air in the heating return air chamber.

[0009] Preferably, the dual-sided air outlet includes air distribution pipes symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bar stock. The air distribution pipes extend along the length of the bar stock, and multiple air nozzles are spaced apart on the side of the air distribution pipes closest to the bar stock, through which hot air is sprayed toward both sides of the bar stock.

[0010] Preferably, the air outlets of the nozzles are all arc-shaped, corresponding to the arc-shaped outer surface of the bar stock.

[0011] Preferably, the circulating fan unit includes a drive motor and an axial fan. The air inlet of the axial fan is connected to the heating return air chamber, and the air outlet introduces hot air into the equalization pipes on both sides of the double-sided air outlet chamber through a three-way pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the burner includes a combustion gun, which is connected to a fuel pipe and a combustion fan. Under the action of the combustion fan, the fuel transported by the fuel pipe is ignited and continuously burned to heat the circulating hot air in the heating return air chamber.

[0013] Preferably, the portion of the combustion gun located within the heating return air chamber is equipped with a combustion protection tube.

[0014] Preferably, a temperature probe is also provided on one side of the combustion protection tube to detect the temperature of the heating return air chamber.

[0015] Preferably, the dual-sided air outlet cavity is provided with an air volume control mechanism, which includes a drive piston cylinder, a synchronizing rod, two sets of crank connecting rods and two air volume adjustment plates;

[0016] The drive piston cylinder drives the synchronizing rod to rotate by rotating the connecting rod and one end of the synchronizing rod;

[0017] The two sets of crank connecting rods are respectively connected to both ends of the synchronizing rod and move synchronously with the synchronizing rod;

[0018] The two air volume regulating plates are respectively connected to the crank connecting rod and are located in the air distribution pipes on both sides of the double air outlet chamber. The air volume of the front and rear sections of the air distribution pipes can be adjusted by rotating the air volume regulating plates.

[0019] Preferably, the dual-sided air outlet cavity is further provided with at least one set of temperature measuring mechanism, which includes a telescopic temperature measuring tube, in which a thermocouple is provided. The thermocouple extends into the dual-sided air outlet cavity along with the telescopic temperature measuring tube, passes through the air distribution pipe and contacts the bar material, and measures its temperature.

[0020] Preferably, the telescopic temperature measuring tube is equipped with a cylinder at its tail end, and the telescopic temperature measuring tube and the thermocouple are pushed by the cylinder to move toward the bar material;

[0021] The thermocouples are provided in two sets, installed side by side inside the telescopic temperature measuring tube, and the wires at their tails convert the temperature measurement signal into an electrical signal output.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] 1. The thermal circulation structure in this bar heating furnace uses circulating hot air to keep the aluminum bars warm. Compared with the direct heating of traditional induction heating furnaces or gas heating furnaces, the heating uniformity is better. Moreover, through the design of the air distribution pipe and multiple air nozzles, the hot air can be evenly guided to all positions of the aluminum bar from beginning to end, thereby solving the problem of overheating at the head and underheating at the tail in the length direction of the aluminum bar.

[0024] 2. The thermal circulation structure in the bar uniform temperature furnace adjusts the hot air volume of the front and rear sections of the uniform air duct through the air volume control mechanism, which can adjust the insulation temperature of the front and rear sections of the aluminum bar. This allows for different insulation temperatures of the front and rear sections of the same aluminum bar or different insulation temperatures of multiple aluminum bars in the uniform temperature furnace, thereby minimizing heat loss and energy consumption.
