[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a rapid cooling and pressure relief structure for a vacuum kiln, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. Through the design of the water guide seat, and by setting an adjusting rod driven by an adjusting motor and threadedly connected to the adjusting hole on the water guide seat, precise and automated adjustment of the position of the water guide seat within the cooling shell is achieved. This allows the spray position of the water spray pipe to be dynamically adjusted according to the cooling needs of different areas of the vacuum kiln body, achieving more uniform, efficient, or targeted cooling, significantly improving cooling efficiency, avoiding problems of local overheating or insufficient cooling, and optimizing the utilization rate of cooling water.

[0036] In summary, the overall equipment is in use:
[0037] When in the cooling and depressurization state, the control device has a built-in control system that starts the pump body 12 and the regulating motor 19. The regulating motor 19 is fixedly installed on the cooling shell 2 by its own L-shaped plate. The pump body 12 draws water out of the cold water tank 10 through the suction pipe 13 and then delivers it to the water guide pipe 8 and the water guide seat 6 through the water delivery pipe 9. The water is then sprayed outward through multiple spray pipes 7 on the water guide seat 6 to achieve uniform water delivery and cooling at each position. The regulating motor 19 drives the regulating rod 17 to rotate. The regulating rod 17 and the regulating hole 18 are threaded together, and the guide rod 21 and the guide hole 22 cooperate to guide and realize the adjustment of the spray position, so as to facilitate uniform water delivery at each position. Water vapor is easily generated when water is delivered for cooling.

At the same time as the cold water is delivered, the heat dissipation valve 15 of the heat dissipation pipe 14 is opened to improve the internal heat dissipation effect.
[0038] When in maintenance mode, rotate the retaining ring 29. The retaining ring 29 and the retaining rod 28 are threaded together. After removing the retaining ring 29, the U-shaped retaining plate 27 can be disassembled. After removing the U-shaped retaining plate 27, the maintenance plate 24 can be disassembled for maintenance, and the internal parts can be inspected, which facilitates internal maintenance operations.
[0039] When the inspection plate 24 is in the installation state, after the inspection is completed, the positioning rod 25 of the inspection plate 24 is installed and positioned corresponding to the positioning hole 26 of the inspection slot 23. After the initial installation, the U-shaped clamping plate 27 is installed corresponding to the clamping rods 28 of the two inspection plates 24. The retaining ring 29 and the clamping rod 28 are threaded together to achieve installation and locking, which is convenient and quick to install and lock.
