Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum tempering furnace technology, specifically a vacuum tempering furnace sealing installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum tempering furnaces are important industrial heat treatment equipment. Their main function is to temper metal workpieces in a vacuum environment to improve their microstructure and properties, increasing their hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. During the tempering process, precise control of the vacuum level and temperature within the furnace is crucial for ensuring workpiece quality. Good sealing performance is fundamental to maintaining a stable vacuum environment and accurate temperature field within the furnace.
[0003] When a vacuum tempering furnace is in operation, a stable vacuum environment inside the furnace is the core element to ensure the quality of material heat treatment. However, current vacuum tempering furnaces generally face technical bottlenecks in the loading and unloading process: due to the limitations of the equipment structure, operators must open the furnace door to load and unload materials. This process will cause the vacuum environment inside the furnace to be destroyed instantly. The influx of outside air not only prolongs the time for the equipment to be re-vacuumed and increases energy consumption costs, but may also cause problems such as oxidation and decarburization on the surface of the material. To address this, we propose a sealed installation structure for vacuum tempering furnaces. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealed installation structure for a vacuum tempering furnace, which is convenient to use and solves the problem that a stable vacuum environment inside the furnace is the core element for ensuring the quality of material heat treatment during operation. However, current vacuum tempering furnaces generally face technical bottlenecks in the loading and unloading process: due to the limitations of the equipment structure, operators must open the furnace door to complete the loading and unloading of materials. This process will cause the vacuum environment inside the furnace to be destroyed instantly. The influx of outside air not only prolongs the time for the equipment to be re-vacuumed and increases energy consumption costs, but may also cause problems such as oxidation and decarburization on the surface of the materials.

[0014] 1. When material processing is completed and material needs to be removed, the present invention starts the motor through the external PLC controller. The motor drives the crankshaft to rotate, the crankshaft drives the adjusting plate to move, the adjusting plate drives the connecting frame to move, and the connecting frame drives the connecting pin to rise, which in turn drives the first sealing plate to rise.

Then the first sealing plate is returned to its original position. Then the lead screw is rotated, the lead screw drives the threaded sleeve to move, the threaded sleeve drives the hollow block to move, which in turn drives the connecting pin to move through the connecting frame, so that the connecting pin moves away from the first sealing plate and inserts into the second sealing plate. Then the height of the second sealing plate is adjusted, and then the material can be removed. The material to be processed is placed at the central axis at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame. Then the second sealing plate is returned to its original position, and then the vacuum pump and solenoid valve are started to evacuate the inner cavity of the frame.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the rectangular plate is pulled outward, and then the connecting cover is rotated. The connecting cover moves the sealing gasket, making the sealing gasket in close contact with the furnace body. Then the rectangular plate is released, and the rectangular plate is moved by the tension of the spring.

[0024] The specific function of this technical solution is as follows: When the material processing is completed and it needs to be removed, the motor 9 is started by the external PLC controller. The motor 9 drives the crankshaft 10 to rotate, the crankshaft 10 drives the adjusting plate 11 to move, the adjusting plate 11 drives the connecting frame 12 to move, and the connecting frame 12 drives the connecting pin 13 to rise, which in turn drives the first sealing plate 4 to rise.

[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a sealing gasket 22 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting cover 2, a fixing bracket 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the front of the connecting cover 2, a fixing seat 17 is fixedly connected to the front end of the left side of the furnace body 1, a spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing seat 17, a rectangular plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring 18, a pin 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate 20, the surface of the pin 21 is inserted into the fixing bracket 16, a damper 19 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rectangular plate 20, and one side of the damper 19 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 17.
[0026] The specific function of this technical solution is as follows: the rectangular plate 20 is pulled outward, and then the connecting cover 2 is rotated. The connecting cover 2 drives the sealing gasket 22 to move, so that the sealing gasket 22 is in close contact with the furnace body 1. Then the rectangular plate 20 is released, and the rectangular plate 20 is driven to move by the tension of the spring 18.

[0027] Working principle: When the material processing is completed and it needs to be removed, the motor 9 is started by the external PLC controller. The motor 9 drives the crankshaft 10 to rotate, the crankshaft 10 drives the adjusting plate 11 to move, the adjusting plate 11 drives the connecting frame 12 to move, and the connecting frame 12 drives the connecting pin 13 to rise, which in turn drives the first sealing plate 4 to rise. After the first sealing plate 4 rises, the material can be moved to the central axis at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame 3 through the internal components of the furnace body 1. Then the first sealing plate 4 is returned to its original position. Then the lead screw 6 is rotated, the lead screw 6 drives the threaded sleeve 7 to move, and the threaded sleeve 7 drives the hollow block 8 to move. This allows the connecting pin 13 to move through the connecting frame 12, so that the connecting pin 13 moves away from the first sealing plate 4 and is inserted into the second sealing plate 5. Then the height of the second sealing plate 5 is adjusted, and the material can be removed. The material to be processed is placed at the central axis at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame 3. Then the second sealing plate 5 is returned to its original position. Then the vacuum pump 15 and the solenoid valve 14 are started to evacuate the inner cavity of the frame 3.
[0028] Pull the rectangular plate 20 outward, then rotate the connecting cover 2. The connecting cover 2 moves the sealing gasket 22, making the sealing gasket 22 in close contact with the furnace body 1. Then release the rectangular plate 20. The rectangular plate 20 moves through the tension of the spring 18. The rectangular plate 20 drives the pin 21 to be inserted into the fixing frame 16, which makes the connecting cover 2 stable during operation, thus achieving a good sealing effect.
