Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric furnace technology, and specifically to a pressure blocking device. Background Technology
[0002] Electric melting furnaces are devices used to mass-produce high-purity quartz glass materials through high-pressure vacuum electrofusion. Due to the casting process requirements, lifting and rotation functions within the furnace are necessary under high-pressure vacuum conditions. To simultaneously meet the requirements of high pressure and vacuum, existing equipment typically employs magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) technology to achieve these functions. However, while MHD can meet vacuum requirements, it is not resistant to high pressure. During use, the stability of MHD changes under high-pressure environments, leading to unstable equipment operation. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0017] The following is a description of the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] A pressure blocking device includes: a rotating shaft 1, a blocking cavity 2 disposed on the rotating shaft 1, and a magnetofluid 3 disposed at the lower end of the blocking cavity 2. The blocking cavity 2 includes an upper cavity 21 and a lower cavity 22. A sliding groove 41 is provided inside the blocking cavity 2, and an inlet / outlet channel 42 and an inlet / outlet channel 43 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends. The upper and lower ends of the sliding groove 41 are respectively connected to the inlet / outlet channel 42 and the inlet / outlet channel 43. The inlet / outlet channel 42 is disposed in the upper cavity 21, and the inlet / outlet channel 43 is disposed in the lower cavity 22. A sealing end face 11 is inclinedly disposed on the side end of the rotating shaft 1 located in the blocking cavity 2. A piston 5 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 41, and a sealing end face 51 is inclinedly disposed on the side end of the piston 5. The sealing end face 11 and the sealing end face 51 are correspondingly disposed.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in actual use, when the device is in a vacuum environment, gas enters through the inlet / outlet channel 43, pushing the piston 5 upward in the slide groove 41 until it contacts the upper cavity 21. At this time, the sealing end face 51 of the piston 5 separates from the sealing end face 11 of the rotating shaft 1, and the rotating shaft 1 can then rotate normally and begin operation.
[0021] When the device is under pressure, gas enters through the inlet / outlet channel 42, pushing the piston 5 downwards within the slide groove 41. At this time, the sealing end face 51 of the piston 5 is tightly fitted with the sealing end face 11 of the rotating shaft 1. Under pressure, the inclined sealing end face is pressed tighter and tighter, effectively preventing pressure transmission to the lower cavity 22 and avoiding pressure affecting the magnetofluid 3 within the lower cavity 22. This allows the device to simultaneously meet the requirements of both high-pressure and vacuum environments, ensuring stable operation and performance under different working conditions.
[0022] As a further preferred embodiment, an intake and exhaust module 6 is provided on the outside of both the first intake and exhaust channel 42 and the second intake and exhaust channel 43. The intake and exhaust module 6 includes a three-way valve 61 connected to the first intake and exhaust channel 42 or the second intake and exhaust channel 43, an intake pipe 62 connected to the three-way valve 61, and an exhaust pipe 63. A solenoid valve 64 is provided at the end of both the intake pipe 62 and the exhaust pipe 63.
[0023] Specifically:
[0024] When the pressure-blocking device is in a vacuum environment and needs to operate, a signal from the external control system switches the three-way valve 61, which is connected to the second inlet / outlet channel 43, to a state where the inlet pipe 62 communicates with the second inlet / outlet channel 43. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve 64 at the end of the inlet pipe 62 opens. Gas flows through the inlet pipe 62, passes through the three-way valve 61, and enters the second inlet / outlet channel 43, pushing the piston 5 upwards within the slide groove 41 until the piston 5 abuts against the upper cavity 21. At this point, the sealing end face 51 of the piston 5 separates from the sealing end face 11 of the rotating shaft 1, allowing the rotating shaft 1 to rotate normally. During this process, the solenoid valve 64 at the end of the outlet pipe 63 remains closed to prevent gas leakage from the outlet pipe 63.
[0025] When the device is under pressure and pressure needs to be blocked, the external control system sends a signal to switch the three-way valve 61 connected to the inlet / outlet channel 42 to the state where the inlet pipe 62 is connected to the inlet / outlet channel 42, and opens the solenoid valve 64 at the end of the inlet pipe 62. Gas enters the inlet / outlet channel 42 through the inlet pipe 62 and the three-way valve 61, pushing the piston 5 to move down in the slide groove 41, so that the sealing end face 51 of the piston 5 is tightly fitted with the sealing end face 11 of the rotating shaft 1. Under pressure, the inclined sealing end face is pressed tighter and tighter, effectively preventing pressure from being transmitted to the lower cavity 22 and protecting the magnetofluid 3 in the lower cavity 22 from pressure. At this time, the solenoid valve 64 at the end of the outlet pipe 63 remains closed.
[0026] When it is necessary to release the internal pressure of the device, such as when switching from a pressurized environment to another state or after completing a task, the external control system sends a signal to switch the three-way valve 61 to a state where the inlet / outlet channel 1 42 or the inlet / outlet channel 2 43 is connected to the outlet pipe 63 (determined according to the current gas channel). Simultaneously, the solenoid valve 64 at the end of the outlet pipe 63 opens. The gas inside the device is discharged through the inlet / outlet channel 1 42 or the inlet / outlet channel 2 43, via the three-way valve 61 and the outlet pipe 63, achieving pressure release and ensuring that the device operates within a safe pressure range. The solenoid valve 64 at the end of the inlet pipe 62 remains closed during this process to prevent gas leakage from the inlet pipe 62.
[0027] By setting inlet and outlet modules 6 on the outside of inlet and outlet channels 1 42 and 2 43, precise control of gas flow is achieved, enabling the pressure blocking device to better adapt to the working requirements under different gas pressure environments, improving the reliability and safety of the device, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the equipment.
[0028] As a further preferred embodiment, multiple sets of sealing rings 71 are provided inside the blocking cavity 2 and on the piston 5.
[0029] Specifically, multiple sets of sealing rings 71 are provided on the inner wall of the blocking cavity 2 along the contact area with the piston 5. This not only effectively prevents gas leakage in the gap between the inner wall of the blocking cavity 2 and the side of the piston 5, but also buffers the collision and friction between the piston 5 and the inner wall of the blocking cavity 2 during movement, thus extending the service life of the device.
[0030] Similarly, on the outer circumferential surface of the piston 5, along the contact area with the blocking cavity 2, a sealing ring 71 is provided. This ring cooperates with the sealing ring 71 on the inner wall of the blocking cavity 2, further enhancing the sealing effect. This ensures that the piston 5 can always maintain a tight fit when it moves, preventing gas from escaping in the gap between the piston 5 and the blocking cavity 2, thereby maintaining the stability of the internal pressure of the device.
[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, a dust cover 72 is provided on the upper end of the rotating shaft 1 and the blocking cavity 2.
[0032] As a further preferred embodiment, a sensor 73 is provided in the middle of the blocking cavity 2.
[0033] Specifically, the dust cover 72 can effectively block dust, particulate matter and other impurities in the air from entering the blocking cavity 2, and prevent impurities from adhering to key components such as the piston 5, sealing ring 71 and the inner wall of the blocking cavity 2, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the device and maintaining good fit and sealing performance between the components.
[0034] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
