Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a box-type resistance furnace for uniform heating. Background Technology

[0002] Box-type resistance furnaces (muffle furnaces) are used in various testing fields such as materials, food, and chemicals for core pretreatment or analysis functions such as "high-temperature decomposition, purification, and calcination" due to their controllable high-temperature environment (usually from room temperature to 1200℃, and some can reach 1800℃) and closed heating characteristics. They are key equipment for achieving component separation, impurity quantification, and structural characterization. When using them, the items to be tested need to be placed inside the furnace for heating.

[0003] Existing box-type resistance furnaces generally suffer from the following technical bottlenecks: the air outlets of their hot air circulation system are mostly fixed at the top of the chamber and cannot be adjusted. After the hot air is sent out of the air outlets, it gradually cools down during its propagation due to thermal radiation and heat dissipation from the furnace wall. By the time it reaches the surface of low-lying items, the wind speed and temperature have significantly decreased, resulting in insufficient heat gain from convection by the items. The heating rate is much lower than that of the area near the air outlets, prolonging the heating cycle and reducing the efficiency of subsequent testing. Furthermore, when items are placed still, they rely solely on thermal radiation and local convection for heat transfer. Due to the fixed relative positions of different parts of the same item with the heat source and airflow, significant temperature differences can easily occur between the sides and the front, affecting the accuracy of subsequent item testing.

A drive gear 13 is fixedly provided on the drive shaft 12. The drive gear 13 is located on one side of the toothed plate 14 and meshes with the toothed plate 14.

[0027] The air outlet of the blower 5 is connected to the vertical box 7 through the air supply pipe 15. The bottom of the vertical box 7 is provided with an air outlet plate 16 located inside the resistance furnace body 1. The lower end of the air outlet plate 16 is provided with multiple air outlet holes.

[0028] The resistance furnace body 1 has a base plate 18 inside, and an exhaust pipe 17 is provided at the lower end of the resistance furnace body 1. The base plate 18 is fixed to the bottom of the resistance furnace body 1, and multiple ventilation holes are provided on the base plate 18. A circular positioning plate 19 is rotatably set in the middle part of the base plate 18 through a bearing. A second motor 21 is fixedly set at the lower end of the resistance furnace body 1. The output end of the second motor 21 is connected to the axis of the circular positioning plate 19. A detachable support plate 20 is provided at the upper end of the circular positioning plate 19.

[0029] The toothed plate 14 is fixed to the outer wall of the vertical box 7 by screws. The screw fixing method makes it easy to assemble the toothed plate 14 on the outer wall of the vertical box 7.

[0030] The output end of the second motor 21 is provided with a rotating shaft that passes through the main body 1 of the resistance furnace, and the top end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the lower end of the circular positioning plate 19.

[0031] Preparation phase:

[0032] The lower end of the tray 20 is provided with a threaded rod that is inserted into the circular positioning plate 19. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the circular positioning plate 19. The tray 20 has a circular structure and anti-slip textures are provided on its periphery and upper surface.

[0033] After presetting the heating parameters via control box 4, open furnace door 3 and place the items to be processed stably onto tray 20. Tray 20 is fixed to the upper end of circular positioning plate 19 by a threaded connection and can be flexibly replaced according to the size of the items. Its anti-slip texture on the periphery makes the items more stable. After closing furnace door 3, the system automatically enters standby mode.

[0034] Air outlet height adjustment:

[0035] The top symmetrical drive shaft 12 of the positioning frame 8 is provided with a positioning shaft 10. The positioning shaft 10 is located on the other side of the vertical box 7. The two ends of the positioning shaft 10 are rotatably connected to the positioning frame 8 through bearings, and a limiting wheel 9 is fixedly provided on the positioning shaft 10. The periphery of the limiting wheel 9 contacts the outer wall of the vertical box 7.

[0036] The top seat 6 is provided with a slot, which is penetrated by the vertical box 7, and a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the slot, which is penetrated by the vertical box 7.

[0037] The first motor 11 is started, and the drive shaft 12 drives the drive gear 13 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission with the toothed plate 14, the vertical box 7 slides up and down along the empty groove of the top seat 6 until the height of the air outlet plate 16 is adapted to the size of the item. During the sliding process, the limiting wheel 9 on the positioning shaft 10 is in close contact with the outer wall of the vertical box 7 to ensure smooth movement; the sealing ring in the empty groove of the top seat 6 always maintains the sealing of the furnace body.

[0038] Heating cycle start-up:

[0039] The heating element 2 and the fan 5 are turned on. After the heating element 2 heats the air in the furnace, the fan 5 introduces the hot air into the vertical box 7 through the air supply pipe 15, and finally blows it evenly onto the items through the air outlet of the air outlet plate 16. At the same time, the second motor 21 is started, and its output end drives the circular positioning plate 19 to rotate through the rotating shaft, so that the pallet 20 carrying the items rotates at a uniform speed in the furnace, ensuring that all parts of the items can be fully contacted by the hot air.

[0040] Airflow balance control:

[0041] Excess hot air inside the furnace is collected through the vents in the bottom plate 18 and then discharged outside the furnace through the exhaust pipe 17, forming a stable hot air circulation. Throughout the process, the control box 4 monitors the operating status of each component in real time to ensure heating uniformity and operational safety.

[0042] Homework completed:

[0043] After the set process time is reached, the heating tube 2, the fan 5 and the second motor 21 are turned off in sequence. After the furnace temperature drops to a safe range, the furnace door 3 is opened to remove the items, completing the heating operation. Then, the heated items are taken to the designated location for testing.

[0044] The closed-loop airflow system consisting of fan 5, air supply pipe 15, air outlet plate 16 and exhaust pipe 17 accelerates the circulation of hot air and reduces heat loss; the sealing ring of top seat 6 and the structure of furnace door 3 together ensure the airtightness of the furnace, effectively maintain the stable temperature inside the furnace and reduce energy consumption.

[0045] The lateral restraint of the limit wheel 9 on the vertical box 7, the smooth rotation of the rotating shaft drive, and the real-time monitoring function of the control box 4 ensure the stability of equipment operation; multiple protection designs (such as sealing structure and temperature monitoring) reduce the safety risks of high-temperature operation and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0046] This design addresses the inherent shortcomings of traditional box-type resistance furnaces through structural innovation, improving heating quality and testing efficiency while also ensuring ease of operation and equipment durability.

[0047] Control Box 4: Brands such as Siemens and Omron are suitable for industrial automation. Taking the Siemens S7-200 SMART series as an example, the CPU module selected is the SR40 model, which has 24 digital input points and 16 digital output points, and can meet the control requirements of various motors, heating tubes 2, fans 5 and other equipment.

[0049] Limiting wheel 9: It adopts a polyurethane coated wheel. The polyurethane material has good wear resistance and cushioning performance, which can reduce the wear on the outer wall of the vertical box 7, while ensuring the stability of the vertical box 7 when sliding.

[0050] First motor 11: Use a servo motor, and brands such as Panasonic and Delta can be selected.

[0051] Second motor 21: Select a three-phase asynchronous motor, such as Siemens or ABB.
