Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of high-temperature heat treatment equipment, and in particular relates to a heat insulation layer structure for a graphitization furnace that is resistant to sagging. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, high-temperature graphitization furnaces operate at 2500℃ and above for extended periods, facing multiple technical bottlenecks and exhibiting numerous technical defects in practical applications. The soft felt in the insulation structure exhibits high-temperature shrinkage. Due to prolonged operation at ultra-high temperatures, the shrinkage of the soft felt in the original insulation structure causes the insulation structure to sink. The graphite sheath embedded in the insulation layer and placed outside the heating tubes also sinks, leading to overlap with the heating tubes and sparking, resulting in significant energy loss. In severe cases, it can cause the insulation layer to overheat, with temperature surges to the furnace shell, manifesting as localized high temperatures externally. Therefore, improving the stability and rigidity of the insulation structure can enhance both safety and economic efficiency in the production process. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an anti-sagging insulation layer structure for graphitization furnaces, so as to solve the problem of stabilizing the insulation structure and the graphite sheath and heating tube mounted on the insulation structure in a preset position.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

The insulation layer structure is arranged around the muffle cavity of the graphitization furnace for placing the material to be heated, and the heating tubes that provide heat to the graphitization furnace are respectively mounted on the insulation layer structure at both ends. The insulation layer structure includes a fiberboard layer, a hard felt assembly and a soft felt.
[0006] Fiberboard layers form the insulation layer structure framework, heating tubes are installed between the insulation layer structures, and rigid felt assemblies are installed on the fiberboard layers. The rigid felt assemblies support the heating tubes in a preset position, and the remaining part is filled with soft felt, so that the rigid felt assemblies are kept in the preset position.
[0007] Furthermore, the rigid felt assembly includes a supporting rigid felt, with supporting rigid felts provided above and below the heating tube, which support the heating tube in a preset position.
[0008] Furthermore, the rigid felt assembly also includes a stepped rigid felt, with a supporting rigid felt disposed on the fiberboard layer. A stepped rigid felt is also disposed between the supporting rigid felt and the fiberboard layer. One side wall of the stepped rigid felt is stepped and contacts the soft felt, while the other side wall of the stepped rigid felt contacts the supporting rigid felt.
[0009] Furthermore, at least two sets of supporting rigid felts are mounted on one end of a heating tube. The ends of the two sets of supporting rigid felts are not on the same horizontal plane and are mounted on the same fiberboard layer through stepped rigid felts.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating tube is supported at two predetermined positions by two sets of rigid supporting felts at both ends. The ends of the two sets of rigid supporting felts are not on the same horizontal plane, and they are supported on the same fiberboard layer by stepped rigid felts. A support plate is also provided between the set of rigid supporting felts farther away from the fiberboard layer and the stepped rigid felts.
[0011] One side of the stepped hard felt, except for the bottom layer, is on the same horizontal plane and abuts against another set of supporting hard felts. The bottom layer of the stepped hard felt supports the set of supporting hard felts. The other side of the stepped hard felt is stepped.
[0012] The space between the stepped hard felt below both ends of the heating tube is filled with soft felt;

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the insulation layer structure 1 is set around the muffle cavity 4, and the heating pipe 3 that provides heat to the graphitization furnace is mounted on the insulation layer structure 1 at both ends.
[0031] The insulation layer structure 1 includes a fiberboard layer 3 and a supporting rigid felt arranged longitudinally relative to the heating pipe 2. The fiberboard layer 3 forms the frame of the insulation layer structure 1. The heating pipe 2 is installed between the insulation layer structures 1. The supporting rigid felt is set on the fiberboard layer. A stepped rigid felt 8 is also provided between the supporting rigid felt and the fiberboard layer 3. The remaining positions are filled with soft felt 9.
[0032] The fiberboard layer 3 is a ceramic fiberboard layer 3.
[0033] The insulation layer structure 1 adopts an anti-sagging interlayer constraint structure to solve the problem of poor deformation due to shrinkage of soft felt 9 and expansion of hard felt 9.
[0034] At least two sets of supporting hard felts are mounted on one end of a heating tube. The ends of the two sets of supporting hard felts are not on the same horizontal plane and are mounted on the same fiberboard layer by a stepped hard felt 8. A support plate 10 is also provided between the set of supporting hard felts far from the fiberboard layer and the stepped hard felt 8.
[0035] The heating tube 2 is mounted at two preset positions by two sets of supporting hard felts at both ends. One side of the stepped hard felt 8 is on the same horizontal plane except for the bottom layer and abuts against another set of supporting hard felts 7. The bottom layer of the stepped hard felt 8 supports the set of supporting hard felts 7. The other side of the stepped hard felt 8 is stepped.
[0036] The space between the stepped hard felt 8 below both ends of the heating tube 2 is filled with soft felt 9.
[0037] The fiberboard layer 3 includes a first fiberboard layer 301 placed vertically on both sides and a second fiberboard layer 302 placed horizontally. The second fiberboard layer 302 is laid at the bottom of the graphitization furnace, the first fiberboard layer 301 is vertically placed inside the graphitization furnace and is used to support the heating tube 2. The supporting rigid felt is placed on the second fiberboard layer 302, and the space between the supporting rigid felt and the first fiberboard layer 301 is filled with soft felt 9.
[0038] Furthermore, the stepped hard felt 8 is installed on the fiberboard layer 302.
[0039] The insulation layer structure 1 includes the following core design highlights: the ceramic fiber board layer 3 has high strength characteristics below its operating temperature, providing rigid support for the alumina ceramic sheath 15 covering the electrode blocks at both ends of the heating tube 2; support felt 1 7 and support felt 2 12 are set on the front and rear sides of the graphite sheath 11, providing rigid support for it. The support plate 10 and the stepped hard felt 8 jointly support support felt 2 12. The soft felt 9 is pre-laid and filled on top of the support plate 10, and its thickness is determined by calculating the expansion of the hard felt under high temperature conditions. For example, when the expansion of support felt 1 7 or support felt 2 12 in the length direction is 20 mm, the bottom can be filled with 30 mm of soft felt 9. The principle is that at the position of the graphite sheath 11, the expansion of the hard felt should be approximately equal to the sum of the shrinkage and compression of the soft felt 9. In conjunction with the compression / contraction characteristics of the soft felt 9, the displacement of the graphite sheath 11 under ultra-high temperatures is effectively controlled, ensuring that the vertical gap between it and the heating tube remains at approximately 5-10 mm. The front and rear joints of the supporting hard felt also require filling with soft felt 9, controlled using a similar method to ensure that the horizontal gap between the graphite sheath 11 and the heating tube remains at approximately 5-10 mm. The stepped installation of the stepped hard felt 8 prevents the temperature field from continuously spreading outwards due to the shrinkage of the soft felt 9. The soft felt 9 exhibits shrinkage characteristics at high temperatures. Currently, the highest processing temperature for soft felt 9 material in China is 2400℃, and the heat treatment time at this temperature is not long. When the graphitization furnace operates at temperatures above 2400℃ for extended periods, the soft felt 9 installed flat at the bottom will exhibit significant high-temperature shrinkage. If a stepped structure is not designed at the joints of the soft felt 9, the gap at the joint will gradually widen with accumulated operating time, and this gap expansion will extend along the seam, causing the temperature field to continuously spread outwards.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
