Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vacuum heat treatment equipment, specifically relating to a vacuum heat treatment furnace with a corrugated anti-cracking heating belt. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum heat treatment furnaces are widely used in the heat treatment of metallic materials. Their internal heating systems typically consist of multiple heating elements connected end-to-end to form a ring-shaped heating zone. In existing technology, adjacent heating elements are usually fixed together by bolts and round holes. Because the round holes and bolts are a fitted fit with little allowance for shrinkage, thermal expansion and contraction during heating and cooling can easily cause deformation and cracking of the edges of the round holes, or even seizing with the bolts. This severely affects the service life of the heating elements and increases equipment maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a vacuum heat treatment furnace with a corrugated heating strip to prevent cracking. This utility model solves the problem of deformation and cracking of heating elements caused by thermal expansion and contraction in the prior art, and extends the service life of the heating elements.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A vacuum heat treatment furnace with corrugated anti-cracking heating belts includes an outer cylinder of a heat insulation screen. Multiple intermediate heat insulation screens are coaxially arranged inside the outer cylinder of the heat insulation screen. An inner heat insulation screen is coaxially arranged inside the intermediate heat insulation screens. Multiple annular heating belts are arranged vertically on the inner side of the inner heat insulation screen. The outer cylinder of the heat insulation screen, the multiple intermediate heat insulation screens, the inner heat insulation screen, and the annular heating belts are fixedly connected by an insulating tie rod connecting assembly.
[0006] Each of the annular heating bands is formed by connecting at least two heating plates end to end to form an annular band structure. Each heating plate is provided with a wavy vertical rib, and the direction of the wavy vertical rib is perpendicular to the length direction of the heating plate.
[0007] Further defining the above scheme, each heating element has one or more wavy vertical ribs, and the wavy vertical ribs are evenly distributed at intervals along the length of the heating element.
[0008] As a further limitation of the above scheme, the heating element is provided with connecting holes at both ends, and a ring structure is formed by bolt connection.
[0009] As a further specification of the above scheme, the heating element is made of high-temperature molybdenum, molybdenum-lanthanum alloy, tungsten, or tungsten alloy material.
[0010] Further defining the above solution, the insulating tie rod connection assembly includes an insulating sleeve and a tie rod, the tie rod passing through each layer of heat insulation screen and heating strip and being fixed by a nut.
[0011] Further specifying the above solution, the intermediate heat insulation screen and the inner heat insulation screen are made of high-temperature molybdenum, molybdenum-lanthanum alloy, tungsten, or tungsten alloy materials.
[0012] Advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art:
[0013] 1. This solution uses corrugated vertical ribs on the heating element to give it a certain elastic contraction capacity along its length, effectively absorbing the stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction, and preventing deformation or cracking at the connection holes on the heating element.
[0014] 2. This solution extends the lifespan of the heating element and reduces equipment maintenance costs;
[0015] 3. This solution has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and is suitable for the renovation and upgrading of existing vacuum heat treatment furnaces. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0018] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.
[0020] Example: See Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a vacuum heat treatment furnace with corrugated anti-cracking heating belts, including an outer cylinder of a heat insulation screen 1. The outer cylinder of the heat insulation screen 1 has multiple layers of intermediate heat insulation screens 2 coaxially arranged inside. The inner side of the intermediate heat insulation screens 2 has an inner layer of heat insulation screen 3 coaxially arranged inside. The inner side of the inner layer of heat insulation screen 3 has multiple annular heating belts 4 arranged vertically on the inner side. The outer cylinder of the heat insulation screen 1, the multiple layers of intermediate heat insulation screens 2, the inner layer of heat insulation screen 3 and the annular heating belts 4 are fixedly connected by an insulating tie rod connecting assembly 5.
[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the annular heating bands 4 is an annular band structure formed by connecting at least two heating elements 4-1 end to end. Each heating element 4-1 has circular connecting holes at both ends, and is connected by bolts to form an annular structure.
[0022] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each heating element 4-1 is provided with a wavy vertical rib 4-1-1, the direction of which is perpendicular to the length of the heating element. During heating, the wavy vertical rib can undergo elastic deformation to absorb thermal stress and prevent cracking caused by stress concentration at the connection holes at the ends of the heating elements.
[0023] Preferably, each heating element 4-1 has one or more wavy vertical ribs 4-1-1, and the multiple wavy vertical ribs 4-1-1 are evenly distributed at intervals along the length of the heating element 4-1.
[0024] Preferably, the heating element 4-1 is made of high-temperature molybdenum, molybdenum-lanthanum alloy, tungsten, or tungsten alloy material.
[0025] See Figure 1 As shown, the insulating tie rod connection assembly 5 includes an insulating sleeve and a tie rod, which passes through each layer of heat insulation screen and heating belt and is fixed by a nut.
[0026] Preferably, the intermediate heat insulation screen 2 and the inner heat insulation screen 3 are made of high-temperature molybdenum, molybdenum-lanthanum alloy, tungsten, or tungsten alloy materials.
[0027] Working principle: After being powered on, the heating element 4-1 heats up. The corrugated vertical ribs 4-1-1 elastically expand and contract with temperature changes, effectively absorbing the stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction, releasing thermal stress, preventing deformation or cracking of the connecting holes, protecting the structural integrity of the heating element, and extending its service life. This device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and is suitable for the retrofitting and upgrading of existing vacuum heat treatment furnaces.
