Below be described further at the using method of this preferred embodiment: the workpiece of desiring sintering when present embodiment is blind pipe workpiece or workpiece inside when containing other gas, for avoiding influencing the result of workpiece sintering, needs the step of being taken a breath in body of heater 20 inside.After at first the 3rd valve body 542 on the input pipe 54 and second pipe tap 534 and second valve body 5342 being closed, open first valve body 5322 on first pipe tap 532, start the running that vavuum pump 5324 is bled, make body of heater 20 and the preheating device 50 inner air that exist extract to extraneous via the efferent duct 53 and first pipe tap 532; Treat that body of heater 20 and preheating device 50 inside are a near vacuum state or are a negative pressure value of setting, can close first valve body 5322 and vavuum pump 5324 on first pipe tap 532, and open the 3rd valve body 542 on the input pipe 54, make atmosphere enter body of heater 20 inside via input pipe 54, preheating device 50 and extension 55 in regular turn from air supply source 544, treat that atmosphere is full of whole body of heater 20 and preheating device 50 inside reach a suitable malleation value, promptly finish the step of ventilation.
Fig. 4 is the inner schematic diagram that produces convection current of the preheating device of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.Please consulting shown in Figure 4ly simultaneously, when present embodiment is desired to carry out sintering process, at first is that the outer wall by 40 pairs of bodies of heater 20 of heater heats, so that body of heater 20 can pass through heat exchange pattern, the thermal energy conduction that body of heater 20 outer walls are absorbed is to body of heater 20 inside.In the process that heater 40 heats, the 3rd set on the input pipe 54 valve body 542 is opening, the atmosphere that air supply source 544 is provided can be by behind the 3rd valve body 542, be directed in preheating chamber 512 inside of preheating device 50 via input pipe 54, first valve body 5322 on first pipe tap 532 then need is closed condition; 5342 need of second valve body on second pipe tap 534 are an opening.After atmosphere continued via input pipe 54 importing preheating chambers 512 inside, the guiding via extension 55 entered in body of heater 20 inner tops again.Because heater 40 this moment heating furnace body 20 constantly, make the heating that the atmosphere that is directed in body of heater 20 inner tops also can be continued simultaneously.At this moment, high-temperature atmosphere is because its density is lower, so buoyance lift and be accumulated in body of heater 20 inner tops upward; Atmosphere increase along with input body of heater 20 inside, the atmosphere of high temperature can move to body of heater 20 belows gradually, and the atmosphere that temperature is lower or waste gas enters cooling chamber 514 inside of preheating device 50 via gas collection hole 62, discharges in body of heater 20 outsides via efferent duct 53, second pipe tap 534 and second valve body 5342 in regular turn again.The atmosphere for the treatment of high temperature is full of body of heater 20 inside, can carry out sintering work to the workpiece that is positioned over body of heater 20 inside by the atmosphere of high temperature.
In this preferred embodiment, the lower-temperature atmosphere of being imported via the input pipe 54 of preheating device 50, in the process of input pipe 54 of flowing through, because efferent duct 53 is coated on the outside of input pipe 54, so input pipe 54 tube walls can absorb by the atmosphere of efferent duct 53 discharges or the heat energy of waste gas, make the input pipe 54 interior atmosphere of flowing through to carry out the preheating first time by input pipe 54 tube walls absorption heat energy and heat; At the same time by the atmosphere or the waste gas of efferent duct 53 output, can be by reaching the tube wall of contact input pipe 54, cause via the atmosphere of efferent duct 53 output or the heat energy of waste gas, the effect of can be simultaneously carrying out heat exchange by input pipe 54 tube walls reduces its temperature, reaches cooling purpose.And by extending input pipe 54 and efferent duct 53 length, or on input pipe 54 tube walls, form a wavy structure, further can prolong the time that contacts area and heat exchange between atmosphere and input pipe 54 tube walls, and then for the preheating of input pipe 54 internal atmospheres, and, can reach preferable effect for the cooling of efferent duct 53 internal atmospheres and waste gas.
Moreover, because entering preheating chamber 512 is the lower atmosphere of temperature, in the cooling chamber 514 is higher atmosphere of temperature or waste gas and entered through gas collection hole 62 and tube connector 56 by body of heater 20 inside, so can produce a temperature difference at preheating chamber 512 and 514 of cooling chambers, make and to enter high-temperature atmosphere in the cooling chamber 514 or waste gas when rising touches the internal partition 52 that is positioned at 514 of preheating chamber 512 and cooling chambers, the heat of high-temperature atmosphere or waste gas can be absorbed by internal partition 52 and isolate, and then make the absorbed lower-temperature atmosphere of heat or discarded because of the higher generation sinking of density effect, so high-temperature atmosphere and waste gas constantly absorb heat reduction temperature via internal partition 52 and descend, and make other high temperature and relatively low atmosphere and the waste gas of density be driven rising simultaneously, and then in cooling chamber 514, producing the phenomenon of a thermal convection current, last cooled lower-temperature atmosphere and waste gas can be discharged via efferent duct 53; Similarly, high-temperature atmosphere in entering preheating chamber 512, the heat that has absorbed cooling chamber 514 interior high-temperature atmospheres or waste gas owing to internal partition 52 makes internal partition 52 can keep higher temperature, make and to enter atmosphere that preheating chamber 512 contact with internal partition 52 owing to the generation heat exchange action, carrying out the preheating second time by internal partition 52 once more heats, and the high-temperature atmosphere density that is heated by internal partition 52 reduces and rises, and impel the higher and atmosphere that temperature is lower of relative density to be driven and contact with internal partition 52, and then in preheating chamber 512, also producing the phenomenon of a thermal convection current, the atmosphere of final high temperature can enter body of heater 20 inside via the extension 55 of preheating chamber 512 tops.Make this preheating device 50 can reach thus and carry out the processing of preheating, and make the atmosphere of body of heater 20 inside or waste gas in discharging process, to discharge again in body of heater 20 simultaneously through cooling processing for the atmosphere of input body of heater 20 inside.
In the present embodiment, be positioned at internal partition 52 structures of 514 of preheating chamber 512 and cooling chambers again,, further can have a wavy curved surface, make between internal partition 52 and atmosphere, can have bigger contact area, to improve the heat exchanger effectiveness between internal partition 52 and atmosphere; Moreover the wavy curved surface that produces more can to slow down flow rate, prolong the time that contacts with internal partition 52 so that fluids such as atmosphere in preheating chamber 512 and the cooling chamber 514 and waste gas produce the phenomenon of sinuous flow, obtain the heating of the best and the effect of cooling.
Though the present invention is described in detail by above-mentioned preferred embodiment; only make and know those skilled in the art and can be easier to understand the present invention in order to explanation the present invention; non-ly be used for limiting scope of the invention process; all equalizations of being done according to the described shape of claim scope of the present invention, structure, feature and spirit change and modify, and all should be included in the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
