Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature furnace technology, specifically a three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for high-temperature furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature furnaces are used for heating and heat treatment in laboratories and testing facilities of various industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research units. They are insulated by natural air, lightweight and easy to transport, and heat up quickly. They use radiation heating from two sides inside the furnace, resulting in uniform temperature distribution. The furnace body and intelligent controller are designed separately, using imported temperature control instruments with a brand-new digital display. The temperature is set digitally, and the intelligent control output reduces visual reading and human operation errors, greatly improving work efficiency. Most existing high-temperature furnaces are box furnaces with a square furnace cavity. When in use, a graphite crucible is filled with material and placed horizontally inside. The partition is closed and a vacuum is drawn for heating. However, the rate of natural cooling of the furnace cavity and crucible after heating is low and time-consuming. Immersing the crucible in the cooling process is irritating and the procedure is relatively dangerous, which is not safe or convenient. The water vapor evaporated at high temperatures also affects the environmental humidity and causes some water waste, which is not environmentally friendly or clean, resulting in a decrease in overall smelting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for high-temperature furnaces, which uses water circulation evaporation for cooling. This eliminates the need to remove the crucible and immerse it in water for cooling, reducing operational steps and making the process safer and more stable. It also reduces the waste of evaporated water vapor, making it more environmentally friendly and improving the overall efficiency of smelting.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace is provided, comprising a high-temperature furnace body covered with an insulating shell. Several furnace chambers are equidistantly arranged on the upper front side of the furnace body, each chamber containing a crucible. Air ducts connect the left and right sides of each furnace chamber. An air inlet and an air outlet are respectively located at the center of the left and right sides of the furnace body, both connected to the air ducts. A water storage tank is fixedly mounted on the top of the furnace body. Several water guide pipes are equidistantly arranged on the rear bottom side of the water storage tank, extending downwards into the furnace chambers. Each water guide pipe has a rotating base at its bottom end, and a water mist nozzle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each rotating base. A condensation passage is provided on the front middle part of the top side of each furnace chamber. The condensation passage opens in a funnel shape towards the furnace chamber, and the upper section of the condensation passage slopes downwards from back to front. The furnace is configured such that a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the front opening of the condensation passage, and a water collection tank is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting pipe. A water pump is installed on the front of the top of the water collection tank, and a return pipe is fixedly connected to the top output end of the water pump. The top and rear ends of the return pipe are both fixedly connected to the water storage tank. Water mist is sprayed on one side by water mist nozzles installed on the rear of the top of the furnace cavity. Water mist is then formed above the crucible and evaporates by absorbing heat. The water vapor condenses into liquid by contacting the top wall in the condensation passage on the front of the top of the furnace cavity and flows into the collection tank by gravity. The water pump then pumps the recovered condensate back into the water storage tank through the return pipe and guides it downward to the water mist nozzles to continue spraying and cooling, achieving the purpose of water circulation cooling. This eliminates the need to remove the crucible for immersion in water for cooling, reduces operation steps, and is safer and more stable. It also reduces the waste of evaporated water vapor, is more environmentally friendly, and improves the overall smelting efficiency.

[0005] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, each crucible is equipped with a heat-resistant pad at its bottom, and the heat-resistant pad is partially embedded in the inner wall of the high-temperature furnace body to prevent heat transfer and loss.

[0006] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, a ring cover is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the opposite side of both the air inlet and outlet ducts, and a torsion handle is fixedly connected to the center of the opposite side of each ring cover. This provides sealing protection when not in use and allows for quick removal during operation.

[0007] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, the front side of the furnace cavity is isolated and covered with partitions. Hinges are fitted on the right side of each partition to rotate with the high-temperature furnace body. Handles are fixedly connected to the front left side of each partition, and heat-insulating sleeves are fitted onto the outer side of the middle portion of each handle. This facilitates safe and quick sealing of the furnace cavity for operation by the operator.

[0008] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, L-shaped pads are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the left and right sides of the high-temperature furnace body, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of each L-shaped pad. This ensures the stable placement of the entire device and prevents the bottom of the high-temperature furnace body from fully contacting the placement surface, thus avoiding dust contamination and protecting the placement surface from high temperatures.

[0009] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, a water inlet is provided at the center of the top of the water storage tank, and a water inlet valve is installed inside the water inlet. This facilitates rapid replenishment of water.

[0010] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, a heat-insulating plate is embedded and fixed at the center of the top of the high-temperature furnace body. The water pipes pass through the heat-insulating plate vertically and are slidably connected to it. This prevents high-temperature conduction into the water storage tank, which could cause the water temperature inside to rise and thus affect the subsequent spray evaporation cooling effect.

[0011] According to the aforementioned three-dimensional circulating spray cooling device for a high-temperature furnace, the water mist nozzles are made of graphite material. It can operate stably in high-temperature environments.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, water mist nozzles are installed on the rear top of the furnace cavity for single-sided spraying. Water mist is then formed above the crucible and evaporates by absorbing heat. The water vapor condenses into liquid through the condensation passage on the front side of the furnace top and flows into the collection chamber by gravity. The recovered condensate is then pumped back into the water storage chamber through the return pipe and guided downwards to the water mist nozzles for continued spraying and cooling, achieving the purpose of water circulation cooling. This eliminates the need to remove the crucible for immersion in water for cooling, reducing operational steps and making the process safer and more stable. It also reduces the waste of evaporated water vapor, making it more environmentally friendly and improving the overall smelting efficiency.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
