[0033] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the energy-saving continuous sintering furnace for powder metallurgy provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown: The preheating assembly 51 includes a preheating tank 511 located inside the processing chamber 3. A rotating rod 513 and a stirring plate 514 are installed inside the preheating tank 511.

The preheating furnace 1 is equipped with a discharge pipe 516. The bottom end of the discharge pipe 516 is fixedly inserted through the bottom surface of the preheating tank 511, the processing box 3, and the top surface of the sintering furnace 1, extending into the sintering furnace 1. A third gear 518 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 513. The side of the third gear 518 meshes with the side of the first gear 503. Through the preheating component 51, the heat in the flue gas is introduced into the processing box 3 and the preheating tank 511, raising the temperature inside the preheating tank 511. This is used to preheat the powder particles that are about to enter the sintering furnace 1, thereby reducing energy waste and realizing the effective recovery and utilization of the flue gas emitted from the sintering furnace.

The filtered flue gas enters the processing box 3 through the gas collection hood 5012 and the ventilation pipe 5011. The pressed powder particles are added into the preheating tank 511 through the addition pipe 515.

Through the meshing of the first gear 503 and the third gear 518, the rotating rod 513 rotates and drives the connected stirring plate 514 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring plate 514 to mix and stir the powder particles in the preheating tank 511, thereby uniformly heating the powder particles. The first valve inside the exhaust pipe 517 is opened, and the flue gas in the treatment box 3 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 517. The second valve inside the discharge pipe 516 is opened, and the preheated powder particles are discharged from the preheating tank 511 through the discharge pipe 516 and discharged into the sintering furnace 1 for sintering.
