Can be used for the atmosphere clock hood type furnace of ITO target sintering
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of industrial sintering furnace, particularly relate to a kind of atmosphere clock hood type furnace.
Background technology
ITO target is through a series of production technology machine-shaping after indium oxide and stannic oxide powder mix by a certain percentage, then the black gray expandable ceramic semiconductors that high-temperature atmosphere sintering (more than 1600 DEG C, logical oxygen sintering) is formed.ITO target is a kind of novel indium tin oxide features ceramic material, is the deep processing new high-tech product of scattered metals indium.ITO target produces one of extremely important material of transparent conducting film glass, in addition expensive, and production process difficulty is comparatively large, is still the material of international market shortage so far, only has minority developed country can produce high performance ITO target at present in the world.
Divide by current production technology, ITO target mainly contains three kinds of preparation methods: pressure sintering, hot isostatic pressing method and atmosphere sintering process.But first two preparation method is owing to existing some defects intrinsic in technique, product quality is difficult to the lifting obtaining matter.Adopt sintering process technique to prepare ITO target, need specific sintering furnace, kiln maximum temperature requires to reach 1600 DEG C, because this equipment technology content is high, and the domestic manufacturing technology not yet grasping this kiln.Further, this high temperature kiln maintenance workload is very large, and prior art is difficult to ensure effective after-sale service.Although the sintering furnace of the paid trial production this type of the external producer of part, textural anomaly is complicated, and equipment price is expensive.
Therefore, to the nucleus equipment of ITO target---large-scale atmosphere sintering furnace designs and improves, and makes it more adapt to the demand of self technique, and then promotes the raising of ITO target development & production level, and this is the problem of current those skilled in the art solution urgently.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art, provides that a kind of structure is simple, cost is low, easy to maintenance, sintering effect good and be specially adapted to the atmosphere clock hood type furnace of ITO target sintering.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the technical scheme that the present invention proposes is a kind of atmosphere clock hood type furnace that can be used for ITO target sintering, comprise body of heater, grate, cooling system, control climate regulating system and temperature control system, described body of heater is a hollow structure being installed on grate, inner cavity is set to burner hearth, the bottom of body of heater is provided with the kiln car as movable fire door, and kiln car is tightly connected as being formed with body of heater during movable fire door cut out, the top of described burner hearth and the inwall of surrounding are provided with high-temperature refractory layer, the top of described body of heater is provided with heating element heater and extends downward in burner hearth, the cooling air pipeline of described cooling system passes the sidewall of bottom of furnace body and leads in burner hearth, the vent line of described control climate regulating system passes the sidewall of bottom of furnace body and leads in burner hearth, described temperature control system comprises the multiple temperature thermocouples be installed on body of heater.
In the technical scheme of the invention described above, by improving the cloth set direction of heating element heater, make the thermo parameters method of whole atmosphere clock hood type furnace more even, the control of warm area is more prone to, and is more prone to the requirement meeting ITO target high-temperature heating; Additionally by bottom position cooling air pipeline and vent line being laid in body of heater, make the air inlet of atmosphere gas more even, cooling effectiveness is more efficient, more meets sintering characteristic and the requirement of ITO target.
In the atmosphere clock hood type furnace of the invention described above, preferably, described kiln car is installed on track, and kiln car realizes its keying as movable fire door by a connected elevating mechanism.
In the atmosphere clock hood type furnace of the invention described above, preferred, when described kiln car cuts out as movable fire door, kiln car to be formed in conjunction with the double containment pattern of sand seal and body of heater by the sealing of light fibre blanket and is tightly connected.Concrete, light fibre blanket hermetically-sealed construction preferably refers to that the part that described kiln car and the high-temperature refractory layer of bottom of furnace body directly contact is provided with a light fibre blanket.The hermetically-sealed construction of described sand seal preferably includes the sand sealing groove being arranged at kiln car surrounding edge place and the double-deck sand sealing knife being arranged at bottom of furnace body, described sand sealing groove is positioned at the outside of light fibre blanket, described double-deck sand sealing knife is arranged at below the high-temperature refractory layer of bottom of furnace body, and the described sand sealing groove of double-deck sand sealing knife docking insertion realizes sand seal.
