One end of the third pipe 3 is connected to the middle of the first pipe 1, and the other end of the third pipe 3 is connected to the middle of the second pipe 2. A first valve 11 is provided at the end of the third pipe 3 near the first pipe 1, and a second valve 12 is provided at the end of the third pipe 3 near the second pipe 2.

[0032] The first pipe 1 is located above the muffle furnace 10, and the axial direction of the first pipe 1 is horizontal. The first pipe 1 is connected to the top of the outer shell 16 of the muffle furnace 10.
[0033] The second pipe 2 is located below the muffle furnace 10. The axial direction of the second pipe 2 is horizontal. The second pipe 2 is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 16 of the muffle furnace 10.
[0034] Along the axial direction of the first pipe 1, the end of the first pipe 1 away from the muffle furnace 10, the third valve 13, the connection position between the first pipe 1 and the third pipe 3, and the connection position between the first pipe 1 and the muffle furnace 10 are set in sequence.

[0036] The blower 9 is connected to the middle of the third pipe 3. Along the axial direction of the third pipe 3, the connection point between the blower 9 and the third pipe 3 is located between the first valve 11 and the second valve 12.
[0037] When the muffle furnace cooling mechanism is in use, the first valve 11 and the fourth valve 14 are opened, and the third valve 13 and the second valve 12 are closed. The air blown by the blower 9 into the third pipe 3 enters the first pipe 1 through the first valve 11, enters the top of the muffle furnace 10 through the first pipe 1, then enters the second pipe 2 from the bottom of the muffle furnace 10, and exits through the fourth valve 14, thus achieving cooling of the muffle furnace 10 from top to bottom. When the second valve 12 and the third valve 13 are opened, and the first valve 11 and the fourth valve 14 are closed, the air blown by the blower 9 into the third pipe 3 enters the second pipe 2 through the second valve 12, enters the bottom of the muffle furnace 10 through the second pipe 2, then enters the first pipe 1 from the top of the muffle furnace 10, and exits through the third valve 13, thus achieving cooling of the muffle furnace 10 from bottom to top.
[0038] When the muffle furnace 10 is cooled by the muffle furnace cooling mechanism, by controlling the opening and closing of the first valve 11, the second valve 12, the third valve 13 and the fourth valve 14, the muffle furnace 10 can be cooled from top to bottom and from bottom to top alternately, so that the internal temperature of the muffle furnace 10 is more uniform and the uniformity of cooling of the muffle furnace 10 is improved.
[0039] The opening and closing of the first valve 11, the second valve 12, the third valve 13, and the fourth valve 14 can be controlled manually or by a controller.
[0040] Furthermore, the muffle furnace cooling mechanism also includes a controller.

[0041] The controller can be programmed to set the cooling time of the muffle furnace 10 from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and to control the opening and closing of the first valve 11, the second valve 12, the third valve 13 and the fourth valve 14 at the set time to achieve the switching of cooling direction.
[0042] By controlling the opening and closing of the first valve 11, the second valve 12, the third valve 13, and the fourth valve 14 through the controller, the amount of manual labor can be reduced, and the accuracy is high.

[0044] Blower 9 is connected to third pipe 3 through fourth pipe 4. The air blown out by blower 9 is blown into third pipe 3 through fourth pipe 4. When first valve 11 is open and second valve 12 is closed, air enters first pipe 1 through first valve 11. When first valve 11 is closed and second valve 12 is open, air enters second pipe 2 through second valve 12.
[0045] The axis of the third pipe 3 is set vertically, and the axis of the fourth pipe 4 is set horizontally.
[0046] Furthermore, the muffle furnace cooling mechanism also includes a fifth pipe 5 and a sixth pipe 6; one end of the fifth pipe 5 is connected to the end of the first pipe 1 away from the muffle furnace 10, and the other end of the fifth pipe 5 is connected to the end of the second pipe 2 away from the muffle furnace 10; one end of the sixth pipe 6 is connected to the fifth pipe 5.
[0047] The air flowing out of the first pipe 1 through the third valve 13 can enter the fifth pipe 5 from the end of the first pipe 1 away from the muffle furnace 10, and then enter the sixth pipe 6 and flow out through the sixth pipe 6.
[0048] The air flowing out of the second pipe 2 through the fourth valve 14 can enter the fifth pipe 5 from the end of the second pipe 2 away from the muffle furnace 10, and then enter the sixth pipe 6 and flow out through the sixth pipe 6.
[0049] The axis of the fifth pipe 5 is set vertically, and the axis of the sixth pipe 6 is set horizontally.
[0050] Furthermore, the muffle furnace cooling mechanism also includes a heat recovery assembly 15; one end of the sixth pipe 6 is connected to the heat recovery assembly 15.
[0051] One end of the sixth pipe 6 is connected to the middle of the fifth pipe 5, and the other end of the sixth pipe 6 is connected to the heat recovery component 15. The air flowing out of the sixth pipe 6 enters the heat recovery component 15, which can recover the heat in the air, so that the energy can be reused, saving energy and protecting the environment.
[0052] Furthermore, the first pipe 1 is connected to the top of the muffle furnace 10 via the seventh pipe 7.
[0053] The first pipe 1 is connected to the top of the outer shell 16 of the muffle furnace 10 through the seventh pipe 7. The axis of the seventh pipe 7 is set in the vertical direction. Along the axis of the first pipe 1, the seventh pipe 7 is located at the end of the first pipe 1 near the muffle furnace 10. The third valve 13 and the seventh pipe 7 are located on both sides of the first valve 11, respectively.
[0054] Furthermore, there are multiple seventh pipes 7, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first pipe 1.
[0055] By introducing or expelling air into the muffle furnace 10 through multiple seventh pipes 7, the temperature uniformity inside the muffle furnace 10 can be improved.
[0056] Furthermore, the second pipe 2 is connected to the bottom of the muffle furnace 10 via the eighth pipe 8.

The fourth valve 14 and the eighth pipe 8 are located on both sides of the second valve 12, respectively.
[0058] Furthermore, there are multiple eighth pipes 8, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the second pipe 2.
[0059] By introducing or expelling air into the muffle furnace 10 through multiple eighth pipes 8, the temperature uniformity inside the muffle furnace 10 can be improved.

[0061] Example 2
[0062] The muffle furnace 10 provided in this embodiment includes the muffle furnace cooling mechanism provided in Embodiment 1. When in use, the muffle furnace cooling mechanism opens the first valve 11 and the fourth valve 14, closes the third valve 13 and the second valve 12, and the air from the blower 9 is blown into the third pipe 3, then through the first valve 11 into the first pipe 1, then into the top of the muffle furnace 10, and subsequently into the second pipe 2 from the bottom of the muffle furnace 10, and then out through the fourth valve 14, thus achieving cooling of the muffle furnace 10 from top to bottom. Alternatively, opening the second valve 12 and the third valve 13, closing the first valve 11 and the fourth valve 14, allows the air from the blower 9 to be blown into the third pipe 3, then through the second valve 12 into the second pipe 2, then into the bottom of the muffle furnace 10, and subsequently into the first pipe 1 from the top of the muffle furnace 10, and then out through the third valve 13, thus achieving cooling of the muffle furnace 10 from bottom to top.
