[0029] A crystallization apparatus for sintering molybdenum disilicide heating elements, comprising:

[0030] Support plate 1, support frame 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of support plate 1, crystallization furnace body 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of support plate 1, furnace cover plate 4 is provided at one end of crystallization furnace body 3, material placement rack 8 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of furnace cover plate 4, several placement slots 9 are provided on the top of material placement rack 8, heating resistance wire 6 is provided on the inner wall of crystallization furnace body 3, and temperature sensor 7 is provided inside crystallization furnace body 3.

[0031] An air inlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other end of the crystallization furnace body 3. A flow regulating valve 22 is installed on the air inlet pipe 21. A filter screen 20 is fixedly installed at one end of the air inlet pipe 21. Specific gases, such as inert gases, can be introduced into the crystallization furnace body 3 through the air inlet pipe 21 to control the atmosphere during the crystallization process.

[0032] The heating resistance wire 6 is spirally distributed, which can increase the heating area and make the heat distribution in the crystallization furnace body 3 more uniform, thereby improving the heating effect and efficiency. The inner surface of the furnace cover plate 4 is equipped with sealing gaskets, which can enhance the sealing of the furnace body, reduce heat loss, and ensure the stability of the furnace temperature.

[0033] On the other side of the top of the support plate 1, there are symmetrically distributed slides 18. Threaded rods 19 are rotatably installed inside the two slides 18. Adjusting blocks 12 are fitted on the outer walls of the two threaded rods 19 and are slidably installed on the slides 18. A connecting frame 11 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two adjusting blocks 12 and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the furnace cover plate 4. A drive mechanism is provided on one side of the support plate 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism includes two fixed blocks 14, which are symmetrically distributed and fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 1. A worm gear 17 is rotatably installed between the two fixed blocks 14. One end of each of the two threaded rods 19 passes through the support plate 1 and extends to one side of the support plate 1. A worm wheel 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of each of the two threaded rods 19, and the worm wheel 16 meshes with the worm gear 17. A servo motor 13 is fixedly installed on the back of one fixed block 14, and the drive end of the servo motor 13 passes through the fixed block 14 and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the worm gear 17.

[0035] In one preferred embodiment, an exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly installed above the other end of the crystallization furnace body 3. A pressure regulating valve 15 is provided on the exhaust pipe 5 to discharge excess gas in the furnace. The pressure in the furnace can be flexibly and accurately adjusted by the pressure regulating valve 15 to stabilize it within a suitable range, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the sintering and crystallization process of molybdenum disilicide heating elements.

[0036] In one embodiment, a viewing window 10 is provided on the furnace cover plate 4, and the viewing window 10 is made of an inner high-temperature transparent material to facilitate real-time observation of the internal sintering situation. A reinforcing rib is fixedly installed between the bottom of the material placement rack 8 and the inner surface of the furnace cover plate 4 to enhance structural stability and ensure operational safety.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, the adjusting block 12 has a threaded hole that matches the threaded rod 19, and the adjusting block 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 19 through the threaded hole, which can convert the rotational motion of the threaded rod 19 into the linear motion of the adjusting block 12, thereby achieving precise position adjustment and ensuring stable and reliable operation of the device.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All electrical components mentioned are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional, known device such as a computer for control, and existing publicly available power connection technologies are not elaborated here. Parts not mentioned in this device are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. In actual operation, the furnace cover 4 is opened, and the molybdenum disilicide heating element blank is precisely placed in the placement slot 9 of the material placement rack 8. The furnace cover 4 is then closed to ensure the device's airtightness. The heating resistance wires 6, spirally distributed on the inner wall of the crystallization furnace body 3, are activated by the main controller to begin heating the interior of the crystallization furnace body 3. The heating power and time of the heating resistance wires 6 can be precisely controlled by the main controller. Simultaneously, a specific gas is introduced into the crystallization furnace body 3 through the gas inlet pipe 21. The flow regulating valve 22 on the gas inlet pipe 21 precisely regulates the gas flow rate, and impurities in the gas are filtered out by the gas filter screen 20 to ensure high purity of the introduced gas. The pressure regulating valve 15 installed on the gas outlet pipe 5 is used to precisely regulate the pressure inside the crystallization furnace 3, keeping it within a suitable process range. The temperature sensor 7 monitors the furnace temperature in real time and feeds the temperature data back to the relevant display or control system. Based on the monitored temperature, the heating power of the heating resistance wire 6 and the gas flow rate are adjusted in a timely manner until the molybdenum disilicide heating element completes the entire sintering and crystallization process.

[0039] When placing or removing the molybdenum disilicide heating element blank, the servo motor 13 can be started and controlled to operate. The drive end of the servo motor 13 drives the worm gear 17 to rotate. Since the worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 16 mesh with each other, the two worm wheels 16 will rotate synchronously under the drive of the worm gear 17. The rotation of the worm wheel 16 then drives the threaded rod 19 connected to it to rotate synchronously. At this time, using the threaded transmission principle between the threaded rod 19 and the adjusting block 12, and the sliding fit between the adjusting block 12 and the slide rail 18, the two adjusting blocks 12 can move laterally synchronously. The movement of the adjusting block 12 is transmitted to the furnace cover plate 4 through the connecting frame 11, which drives the furnace cover plate 4 to move. The movement of the furnace cover plate 4 will then drive the material placement rack 8 to move together. In this way, with the help of the servo motor 13, the automatic opening and closing function of the furnace cover plate 4 relative to the opening of the crystallization furnace body 3 is realized. This mechanically driven method allows for easy removal of the material placement rack 8 from or into the crystallization furnace body 3, facilitating the placement and removal of molybdenum disilicide heating element blanks and effectively improving the convenience and efficiency of production operations.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
