Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of mechanical design and metallurgical heat treatment technology, specifically a mobile annular electroslag bar heat preservation and heating device. Background Technology

[0002] In the petroleum, chemical, metallurgical and machinery industries, heating furnaces are among the most important pieces of equipment. They can be used to heat materials of various purposes, such as metal workpieces, ceramic materials, and alloy powders, to a specified temperature. At the same time, they can heat workpieces and materials of various shapes, such as forgings, castings, powders, and fragments of different sizes. They have a wide range of applications and are widely used in many industries.

[0003] Electroslag remelting (ESR) rods are crucial materials in the ESR remelting process. Typically, ESR rods are welded to electrodes and then vertically placed in a remelting furnace for remelting. To evaporate moisture and remove excess oxygen and hydrogen, the rods require prolonged heating in a furnace. Commonly used ESR rod heating furnaces are high-temperature heat treatment box-type resistance furnaces, which have ample internal heating space to provide sufficient temperature and achieve long-term heat preservation. However, current furnaces are rectangular in shape with a square internal space. Placing cylindrical ESR rods inside for heat preservation results in low space utilization. Furthermore, the gaps between the annular and square shapes cause the furnace to be exposed to the outside air, leading to longer heating times to the designated temperature and higher resource consumption. In addition, when heating electroslag rods in a rectangular resistance heating furnace, the end of the electroslag rod to be heated must first be moved to the furnace opening of the resistance heating furnace, and then the entire electroslag rod is pushed into the resistance heating furnace by a horizontal trolley. This process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN111504063A designs an upward-opening annular heating furnace with different heaters on its inner wall, controlled by PI0 to heat different areas of the same workpiece at different temperatures. Patent CN212227732U designs an upward-opening cylindrical multi-layer heating furnace, with nuts, positioning screws, force-applying mechanisms, and limiting plates on the outside of the cylinder, realizing a multi-functional cylindrical heating furnace capable of applying force from the outside (pressing the heated workpiece). However, the annular and cylindrical heating furnaces of the above patents are suitable for workpieces or components that are relatively short and can be lifted from the top and placed vertically into the heating furnace. For electroslag remelting bars used in the electroslag remelting process, which are about 10m long, it is difficult to lift them vertically and place them into an upward-opening heating furnace in actual production. Therefore, this utility model designs a horizontally open, movable annular resistance heating furnace for heating electroslag bars. Utility Model Content
