Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature vacuum sintering furnace technology, and in particular to a vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for sintering furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] When operating a high-temperature vacuum sintering furnace, it is necessary to evacuate the interior. As the evacuation process proceeds, the pipes connecting the vacuum pump and the sintering furnace are prone to axial and radial deformation. Therefore, corrugated pipes are generally used for compensating connections. However, during the evacuation process, the existing corrugated pipes will undergo excessive compression due to radial deformation as the vacuum level decreases. At the same time, as the internal air pressure decreases, the upper and lower flanges of the corrugated pipe will generate axial offset tensile forces, causing the entire corrugated pipe to deform. Over time, this will cause damage to the compensation system and fatigue damage to the pipe welding and fixing structures. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for sintering furnaces. The corrugated pipe body is connected to the vacuum pump group via a lower flange, and the upper flange is connected to the external connecting pipe. Support rods are provided around the corrugated pipe body. The extensibility of the corrugated pipe body can relieve the resonance and damage caused by the vibration between the pipes. There is a separate support rod around the corrugated pipe body. One end of the support rod is fixed to the upper flange with an adjustable nut, and a rubber buffer pad is installed at the lower end, which is nested on the lower flange, leaving a certain amount of movable buffering margin. In this way, during the evacuation process, the excessive axial deformation of the corrugated pipe body caused by the change of air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the corrugated pipe body can be buffered, thus forming compensation, thereby extending the service life of the corrugated pipe, and at the same time avoiding the corresponding damage caused by the mutual vibration of the pump group during operation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for a sintering furnace is provided, comprising: a mechanical pump group and a vacuum pump group. The top of the mechanical pump group is fixedly connected to the vacuum pump group, and a compensation component is provided on the top of the vacuum pump group. The compensation component includes a lower flange, a bellows body, an upper flange, a support rod, and a shock-absorbing pad. The lower flange is fixedly connected to the vacuum pump group by bolts. The top of the lower flange is fixedly connected to the bellows body, and the top of the bellows body is fixedly connected to the upper flange. A support rod is provided between the upper flange and the lower flange. A shock-absorbing pad is sleeved on the bottom of the support rod, and a nut is threaded onto the circumferential surface of the support rod.

[0005] According to the vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for the sintering furnace, the corrugated pipe body is a metal corrugated pipe.

[0006] According to the vacuum pipe compensation and fixing device for the sintering furnace, the number of shock-absorbing pads on the support rod is four, and they are evenly distributed around the corrugated pipe body.

[0007] According to the vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for the sintering furnace, the top and bottom of the support rod are respectively inserted into the lower flange and the upper flange, and the shock-absorbing pad is snapped into the lower flange.

[0008] According to the vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for the sintering furnace, the support rod is fixedly connected to the upper flange by a nut.

[0009] The above solution has the following beneficial effects: By setting up a lower flange, a bellows body, an upper flange, support rods, and vibration damping pads, the bellows body is connected to the vacuum pump unit via the lower flange, and the upper flange is connected to the external connecting pipe. Support rods are set around the bellows body itself. The extensibility of the bellows body can relieve the resonance and damage caused by the vibration between the pipes. There is a separate support rod around the bellows body. One end of the support rod is fixed to the upper flange with an adjustable nut, and a rubber buffer pad is installed at the lower end, nested on the lower flange, leaving a certain amount of movement buffering margin. In this way, during the evacuation process, the excessive axial deformation of the bellows body caused by the change of air pressure difference inside and outside the bellows body can be buffered, forming compensation, thereby extending the service life of the bellows, and at the same time avoiding the corresponding damage caused by the mutual vibration of the pump unit during operation.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3This utility model discloses a vacuum pipeline compensation and fixing device for a sintering furnace, comprising: a mechanical pump group 1 and a vacuum pump group 2. The top of the mechanical pump group 1 is fixedly connected to the vacuum pump group 2. The top of the vacuum pump group 2 is provided with a compensation component 3, which includes a lower flange 301, a bellows body 302, an upper flange 303, a support rod 304, and a shock-absorbing pad 305. The lower flange 301 is fixedly connected to the vacuum pump group 2 by bolts, and the top of the lower flange 301 is fixedly connected to the bellows body 302, which is a metal bellows. The bellows body 302 can deform axially and radially to cope with the deformation force generated by the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vacuum during the vacuuming process. An upper flange 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the bellows body 302 and is fixedly connected to an external connecting pipe. A support rod 304 is provided between the upper flange 303 and the lower flange 301. A shock-absorbing pad 305 is sleeved at the bottom of the support rod 304. A nut is threaded onto the circumferential surface of the support rod 304. Four shock-absorbing pads 305 are evenly distributed on each support rod 304. Distributed around the bellows body 302, the top and bottom of the support rod 304 are respectively inserted into the lower flange 301 and the upper flange 303. The damping pad 305 is snapped into the lower flange 301. The support rod 304 is fixedly connected to the upper flange 303 by a nut. The top of the support rod 304 is fixedly connected to the upper flange 303 by a nut, and the bottom of the support rod 304 is inserted into the lower flange 301 and fixed by an adjustable nut. The damping pad 305 is placed between the nut and the lower flange 301 to reduce the vibration generated by the vacuum pump unit 2 during operation. The vibration is prevented and the bellows body 302 resonates. At the same time, when the vacuum pump group 2 is evacuating, the bellows body 302 will passively decrease and compress as the vacuum level increases. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the compression of the bellows body 302. When the vacuum is broken, the bellows body 302 will return to its original shape. During this process, the support rod 304 and the shock-absorbing pad 305 can work together to cope with the expansion and contraction of the bellows body 302, thereby avoiding the tearing, air leakage and other phenomena caused by the long-term compression and reciprocating motion of the bellows body 302, thus extending the service life of the bellows body 302.

[0021] Working principle: The support rod 304 is fixedly connected to the upper flange 303 by a nut. The top of the support rod 304 is also fixedly connected to the upper flange 303 by a nut. The bottom of the support rod 304 is inserted into the lower flange 301 and fixed with an adjustable nut, leaving a buffer margin between the support rod 304 and the lower flange 301. A shock-absorbing pad 305 is placed between the nut and the lower flange 301 to reduce the vibration generated by the vacuum pump unit 2 during operation and prevent resonance of the bellows body 302. When the vacuum pump unit 2 is evacuating, the bellows... The bellows body 302 will be passively compressed as the vacuum level increases. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the compression of the bellows body 302. When the vacuum is broken, the bellows body 302 will return to its original shape. During this process, the support rod 304 and the shock-absorbing pad 305 can work together to cope with the expansion and contraction of the bellows body 302, thereby avoiding the tearing, air leakage and other phenomena caused by the long-term compression and reciprocating motion of the bellows body 302, thus extending the service life of the bellows body 302.
