Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric furnace technology, specifically to a rapid cooling device for electric furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, electric furnaces are used as key heat treatment equipment in various processes such as metal smelting, material sintering, and heat treatment such as annealing, quenching, and tempering. After the electric furnace completes the preset high-temperature heating or treatment stage, the furnace chamber and the workpiece inside are usually at extremely high temperatures. In order to carry out subsequent process operations and remove the workpiece to prepare for the next production cycle, the furnace body must be cooled to a safe or suitable level.

[0003] Currently, natural cooling is the most common and simplest method. After heating stops, the furnace body cools down through its own heat dissipation and natural convection and thermal radiation with the surrounding air. This method requires no additional equipment and is low-cost. However, the cooling time of natural cooling significantly delays the entire production cycle, reducing equipment turnover and utilization, and failing to meet the demands of fast-paced production. Furthermore, during prolonged natural cooling, the furnace surface temperature remains high, posing a risk of accidental burns to operators without effective insulation or safety warnings. To address these issues, this invention provides a rapid cooling device for electric furnaces. Utility Model Content

It solves the problem that while natural cooling is currently the most common and simplest method, it relies on the furnace body's own heat dissipation and natural convection and thermal radiation with the surrounding air after heating stops. This method requires no additional equipment and is low-cost, but the cooling time of natural cooling significantly delays the entire production cycle, reducing equipment turnover and utilization, and failing to meet the demands of fast-paced production. Furthermore, during prolonged natural cooling, the furnace surface temperature remains high, posing a risk of accidental burns to operators without effective heat insulation or safety warnings.

Coolant passages and air passages are arrayed within the connecting rings. The coolant passages are used for the passage of coolant, and the air passages are used for the passage of cooling airflow.

[0008] Preferably, an input bottom ring is installed at the bottom end of the non-magnetic cooling arc tube. The input bottom ring is connected to a connecting ring. A coolant input pipe and an air pipe are fixedly connected to both ends of the input bottom ring, respectively.

When in use, the airflow is first introduced into the airflow channel 25, that is, the airflow passes between the tube shells of the two sets of non-magnetic cooling arc tubes 21 and pre-cools the electric furnace wall. Then, coolant is introduced into the non-magnetic cooling arc tube 21 for gas-liquid mixing and strong cooling. Through the design of the arc plate and the diversion hole 211, the contact area and cooling area between the non-magnetic cooling arc tube 21 and the furnace wall of the electric furnace are larger.

Coolant passage holes 241 are used for passing coolant, and air passage holes 242 are used for passing cooling airflow.

[0025] The bottom end of the non-magnetic cooling arc tube 21 is equipped with an input bottom ring 1, which is connected to the connecting ring 24. The two ends of the input bottom ring 1 are respectively fixedly connected to a coolant input pipe 11 and an air pipe 12. The coolant input pipe 11 is used to connect to the coolant pipe, and the air pipe 12 is used to connect to the blower.
