In general, it is extremely difficult to completely seal a sealed-type vertical induction heating furnace of this kind. For example, problems with the characteristics of induction heating include: The furnace wall of the heating section that heats the material to be heated is not made of steel, but is generally made of a heat-resistant brick, or a heat insulating material such as ceramic fiber, and it is impossible to completely block air permeability. is there.

For this reason, of the prior art, the latter is a method of sucking and discharging the gas in the furnace for rapid purging of the gas in the furnace at the beginning of heating. In this method, the pressure in the furnace is reduced by suction and discharging. As a result, the outside air is blown from the furnace wall portion or another seal portion, and the oxygen concentration in the furnace cannot be sufficiently reduced. Also, in this type of vertical induction heating furnace, since the temperature inside the furnace is at a considerably higher level than the temperature outside the furnace, the gas inside the furnace flows upward in the furnace due to the draft effect, and from the lower part of the furnace. There is a difference in furnace pressure in the height direction of the upper part. For this reason, considering that it is difficult to completely secure the hermeticity of the furnace body, when the furnace pressure in the lower part of the furnace is positive pressure as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-62441. Is a necessary condition for keeping the oxygen concentration in the furnace low.

However, in the former method of the prior art, after purging the furnace gas at the beginning of heating, an inert gas is blown in from the upper part of the furnace body to control it. When an inert gas is introduced, the effect of increasing the furnace pressure in the upper part of the furnace body is great, but the effect of increasing the furnace pressure in the lower part of the furnace body is not so much obtained. Furthermore, when the inert gas is blown from the upper part of the furnace body, the low-temperature inert gas comes into contact with the material to be heated placed in the upper part of the furnace body, which is not preferable for heating, so that the amount of the inert gas is limited. To prevent the oxygen concentration in the furnace from being lowered.

According to the present invention, the atmosphere in the furnace is diffused from the upper part of the furnace to the outside while blowing the inert gas from the lower part of the furnace body, and the atmosphere in the furnace is quickly and efficiently replaced to reduce the oxygen concentration in the furnace. After reaching the target value, the inert gas is applied from the lower part of the rotatable receiver that can be freely connected to the furnace body seal at the lower part of the support base that supports the lower opening of the furnace body, and the atmospheric pressure at the noro receiving part is positive pressure. Since the gas is blown in a controlled manner at a gas amount that can be held in the furnace, it is effective to hold the pressure at the lower part of the furnace body where the furnace pressure tends to be low due to the draft action of the gas in the furnace, and it is possible to prevent the suction of outside air.

When the material 1 to be heated is induction-heated using a vertical induction heating furnace, first, a large amount of inert gas is blown into the furnace body 2 from an inert gas blowing port 11 provided at a lower portion of the noro receiver 6. Atmosphere gases collected from the lower oxygen concentration measuring port 12 and the upper oxygen concentration measuring port 14 of the furnace are measured by an oximeter, and a large amount of inert gas is continuously blown until the measured value reaches a target value.

However, it is difficult to maintain a sealed state in this kind of furnace body 2 and it is inevitable that a certain amount of internal atmosphere is evacuated. The required amount of inert gas is continuously blown into the furnace body 2 so as not to enter the furnace 2. Since the purpose of setting the blowing amount at this time is to prevent outside air from entering the furnace body 2, the furnace lower pressure measurement port 13 and the furnace The pressure inside the furnace body 2 is monitored by a pressure gauge provided at each of the upper pressure measurement ports 15, and an inert gas is supplied into the furnace body 2 so that the pressure does not become negative.

In this case, since a negative pressure is generated in the lower part of the furnace body 2, an inert gas is blown into the furnace through an inert gas blowing port 11 in a lower part of the noro receiver 6, and a pressure measurement port in the lower part of the furnace is provided. The blowing amount is controlled so that the pressure measured in step 13 is always maintained at a positive pressure. This enhances the effect of responsiveness to the furnace atmosphere pressure in the lower part of the furnace body 2 and acts to push up the furnace atmosphere gas by a draft action of the furnace gas, so that a low-temperature inert gas is applied to the material 1 to be heated. To prevent contact. When blowing the inert gas into the furnace body 2, it is necessary to constantly measure the oxygen concentration in the furnace body 2 and supply the inert gas into the furnace body such that the oxygen concentration maintains a target value. , Oxygen concentration measurement at the bottom,
The measurement is performed using the upper oxygen concentration measurement ports 12 and 14.
