Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example:

[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, a horizontal graphitization furnace 3 with an openable and closable graphite felt insulation screen 2 includes a furnace cover 1, which has an outer end face 12 and an inner end face 11. The graphite felt insulation screen 2 is located on the inner end face 11. A plurality of supporting guide rails 21 are installed on the inner end face 11, and these rails surround the graphite felt insulation screen 2. The sidewall of the graphite felt insulation screen 2 is slidably connected to the supporting guide rails 21. A driving cylinder 22 is installed on the outer end face 12, and the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 22 is connected to one end of the graphite felt insulation screen 2 facing the inner end face 11. One end of the furnace cover 1 is hinged to the furnace body, which facilitates the opening and closing of the furnace cover 1. When in use, the furnace cover 1 is closed. At this time, the graphite felt insulation screen 2 is positioned opposite to the inner cavity of the graphitization furnace 3. The drive cylinder 22 is turned on, and the drive cylinder 22 will push the graphite felt insulation screen 2 to move along the support guide rail 21 toward the inner cavity until the graphite felt insulation screen 2 is tightly fastened to the inner cavity.

[0022] After shutdown, simply start the drive cylinder 22 to reset it, and then open the furnace cover 1.

[0023] In the above design, under the action of the drive cylinder 22, the graphite felt insulation screen 2 moves smoothly along the support guide rail 21 until it is tightly fitted with the inner cavity of the graphitization furnace 3. This ensures the sealing of the graphitization furnace 3, making the internal pressure of the furnace 3 more uniform and reducing the occurrence of localized fire problems. At the same time, the automatic opening and closing also facilitates the maintenance work of the operators.

[0024] To facilitate the fixing of the graphite felt insulation screen 2, a support frame 23 is provided between the graphite felt insulation screen 2 and the inner end face 11. The graphite felt insulation screen 2 is connected to the end of the support frame 23 away from the inner end face 11. The telescopic end of the drive cylinder 22 is connected to the end of the support frame 23 facing the inner end face 11. A support plate 24 is provided on the side wall of the support frame 23. The support plate 24 is slidably connected to the support guide rail 21.

[0025] In order to reduce the resistance of the graphite felt insulation screen 2 during movement and reduce noise generation, a limiting roller 25 is installed on the support plate 24, and the limiting roller 25 is matched with the support guide rail 21.

[0026] To facilitate real-time monitoring of the internal temperature of the graphitization furnace 3, a temperature measuring tube 26 is provided at the end of the graphite felt insulation screen 2 away from the inner end face 11.

[0027] To facilitate the injection of the required gas into the inner cavity of the graphitization furnace 3, a plurality of vent pipes 27 are provided at the end of the graphite felt insulation screen 2 away from the inner end face 11, and the plurality of vent pipes 27 are arranged around the temperature measuring tube 26. In use, the external gas injection pipe is connected to the vent pipes 27 to facilitate the exchange of gases inside and outside the graphitization furnace 3.

[0028] To ensure a tight fit between the graphite felt insulation screen 2 and the inner cavity of the graphitization furnace 3, the graphite felt insulation screen 2 comprises several layers arranged in a gradient. In this design, the graphite felt insulation screen 2 comprises several layers with areas decreasing in a gradient, with the end facing the inner cavity having the smallest area, its size slightly smaller than the inner cavity diameter, thus ensuring that the graphite felt insulation screen 2 can partially extend into the inner cavity.

[0029] Preferably, the support rail 21 includes upper guide rails and lower guide rails arranged opposite each other, with a distance of L1 between the two upper guide rails and a distance of L2 between the two lower guide rails, where 0.7 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1.3. The purpose of this design is to ensure the parallelism of the support rails, thereby ensuring that the graphite felt insulation screen 2 can move smoothly.

[0030] In summary, the advantages of this solution are as follows: Under the action of the drive cylinder 22, the graphite felt insulation screen 2 will move smoothly along the support guide rail 21 until it is tightly fitted with the inner cavity of the graphitization furnace 3. This ensures the sealing of the graphitization furnace 3, resulting in more uniform internal pressure and reducing the occurrence of localized arcing. Furthermore, the automatic opening and closing operation facilitates maintenance work for operators.

[0031] There are many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
