5.Furnace structure
The structure of the electric furnace is mainly comprised of furnace body, heating element, fan
circulation mechanism, stainless steel furnace, temperature control system, nitrogen potential
control system, etc. The opening and closing mode of the furnace cover is electric automatic lifting,
and automatic interlock protection through the travel switch.
5.1 Furnace shell: The shell is mainly made of 12#-14# section steel and high-quality 4mm thick
steel plate welded into a solid frame. The whole steel structure has the advantages of beautiful
appearance, high rigidity and strength.The appearance of the furnace body is straight and beautiful
without wrinkles or unevenness.The exterior of the furnace body shall be painted with two coats of
primer and two coats of finishing paint according to relevant standards.The color code shall be selected
according to the general industry standard or Party A's factory standard, and the key parts shall be
painted with high temperature resistant paint.
5.2 Furnace lining: The lining is a compound structure. The main body is made of high-quality aluminum
silicate refractory fiber folded blocks of Luyang brand, Shandong.Standard fixings and scientific and
reasonable mounting methods are used. The fiber blocks are pre-compressed again before installation,
and fixed on the shell with special stainless steel anchors. The total installation thickness of the furnace
lining is 350mm.The structure has low thermal conductivity, low heat solubility, excellent chemical stability,
thermal stability, thermal vibration resistance, excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance.The highest
temperature resistance of aluminum silicate fiber is 1260 ℃, and the material of the fixture is stainless steel
round steel. After the lining body is made, the thermal efficiency of the furnace is maximized.
5.3 Heating elements:
It is made of high temperature resistant 0Cr21AL6Nb alloy.The resistance strips are fixed with
special ceramic screws, which are convenient for installation, maintenance and replacement.
It will never form thermal short circuit with the furnace shell and cause local overheating of the
furnace shell. During installation, ceramic gaskets are used to sperate the fiber wall and the
resistance strips to ensure that the fiber surface does not directly contact with the resistance strips,
so as to increase the heating effect of the resistance strips.The ceramic screws and gaskets
are made of corundum material and sinteredat high temperature to ensure that they have
enough strength and service life.The equipment is divided into three heating areas, and
the arrangement of heating elements corresponds to the setting of heating zones.
Installation of electric heating elements: With the advanced hanging structure, the radiation
efficiency is high, the heat exchange in the furnace is strengthened, the thermal efficiency
of the furnace is improved, and the service life of the electric heating element is prolonged.
The heating element is processed into wave structure by special molds and installed around
the furnace. When the ceramic screw nails are used to install the resistance strips, the ceramic
gaskets are used to separate the resistance belt from the fiber lining. The ceramic screw nails
pass through the ceramic gaskets from the wave crest of the resistance strips and rotates
clockwise to screw into the fiber lining. Because the ceramic nails have trapezoidal rib and
has strong adhesion with the fiber, the resistance strips are firmly fixed and are easy to install.
5.4 Nitriding furnace tank
There is a stainless steel muffle tank in the furnace, and the furnace tank is made of stainless
steel plate and 310S stainless steel.In order to isolate the protective atmosphere in the furnace
from the outside air and keep the sealing state, the upper part of the furnace is also equipped
with a water-cooled sealing device, which uses the high-temperature silicon sealing ring.
When the furnace cover is closed, it is compressed by the furnace cover pressing device,
and the sealing effect is achieved by water cooling.
5.5 Air duct
In order to make the hot air blown by the fan form convection in the furnace, the furnace is
equipped with an air duct. The air duct is welded by 4mm stainless steel plate (310S).
The air duct is placed in the muffle tank. The hot air blown by the fan is blown around
the furnace through the wind deflector and enters the furnace bottom. After passing
through the air duct from the furnace bottom, the air is introduced from the bottom to
the center of the furnace and recycled to the top of the furnace. The air in the muffel
tank reaches circulation convection and the furnace temperature is more uniform.
5.6 Circulating fan
In order to make the temperature in the furnace more uniform, a 3kW large flow
water-cooled hot air circulation anti-corrosion fan is installed on the furnace cover,
which is used to stir the air in the furnace during the heating process to form a thermal
cycle in the furnace. The system consists of anti-corrosion motor, water cooling device,
fan blade shaft and impeller. When in use, the operator only needs to click the control
button, and the fan power supply is connected with the furnace cover. When the furnace
cover rises, the power supply of the fan is cut off, and the fan stops working.
5.7 Furnace cover and cover lifting mechanism
It is comprised of a cover body, a heat insulation box, a strong convection fan, an
exhaust pipe and an air inlet pipe.The external plate of the cover is A3 steel plate
with a thickness of 30mm.
The lifting of the furnace cover is completed by an electric lifting mechanism, which
is provided by the power motor device.
When the furnace cover needs to be raised, just start the lifting device, the furnace
cover will rise slowly. If the furnace cover needs to be lowered, just open the lowering
button, the furnace cover will fall slowly.There are two limit switches at the lifting shaft.
When the lifting shaft rises, the lower limit switch automatically cuts off the power supply
of the circulating fan and the heating element in the furnace to avoid the danger of improper
operation. When the furnace cover rises to the specified position, the upper limit switch
automatically cuts off the power supply.
5.8 Intelligent temperature control system
In order to make the temperature in the furnace reach the requirement of uniformity,
the furnace is divided into 3 zones for temperature control. The main control instrument
of the furnace temperature control system adopts Japanese advanced intelligent
no-overshoot expert temperature controller, which is equipped with a Shimadian power
trigger to control the furnace temperature. The measured value and displayed value are
independent and four-digit, and the temperature control value is preset by the user.
At present, the advanced high-power thyristor is selected as the actuator, and the furnace
temperature is automatically controlled by the intelligent digital display temperature controller.
The system has advanced intelligent PID control algorithm and perfect self-tuning
and self-adaptive functions. The intelligent temperature controller is displayed by double
four-digit LCD digital tube, and SV and PV value are displayed at the same time. Eight
types of range settings can be input freely. The AC100-240V wide range power supply
is adopted, so there is no need to worry about the fluctuation of power supply voltage.
The system can automatically or manually adjust the power of each zone, which can
better control the furnace temperature uniformity. After manually adjusting the power,
the system will automatically control the temperature according to the manually
adjusted power, which is convenient for operation and accurate for temperature control.
A) Power control system:
The control and execution system adopts high-power thyristor combination unit,
aluminum alloy heat dissipation and a set of air cooling system, and is equipped
with automatic circuit breaker and fast fuse for secondary protection.
Each zone of the system has a large current contactor as the furnace temperature
protection unit. Once the thyristor is broken down by the current due to fault, the
current can not be controlled if the large current protection contactor is not installed.
Even if the alarm device is installed, the main control power source can not be cut off.
If the operator leaves, the temperature in the furnace will be out of control. After installing
the large current protection contactor, once the thyristor is broken down by the current,
the furnace reaches the upper limit over temperature alarm value, the contactor can cut
off the main power supply at the same time of the alarm, which can reliably ensure the
normal operation of the furnace and avoid the loss of the furnace after out of control.
Indication of working conditions in each zone of electric furnace:
Each phase and zone has indicator light to indicate whether it works or not. When the
furnace is heated up, the indicator light will flash with the size of the current, and the staff
can intuitively see the working conditions of each phase in each zone of the furnace.
Each zone and phase of the furnace temperature control system is equipped with an
ammeter to display the real-time working current of the heating element.
Alarm device:
Each area of the supporting control system is equipped with the function of
overtemperature sound and light alarm. As long as any area in the furnace
reaches the upper limit alarm value set by the temperature, the system alarm
will give an alarm, and the alarm indicator corresponding to this area will also
flash. At the same time, the main power supply of the heater is cut off by the
large current contactor, and the operator can directly find out the cause according
to the alarm indication, so as to ensure the safe operation of the furnace.
Interlock protection function:
Each mechanical transmission part of the electric furnace adopts interlock control,
that is, the heating element power is automatically cut off after the furnace cover is
slightly opened, and the furnace cover is automatically stopped when it is raised to
the designated position. The heater power is automatically restored when the furnace
cover is closed, so as to effectively prevent misoperation and failure.
Main control cabinet:
The body of the main control cabinet of the furnace adopts the national standard GGD,
and its overall dimension is 2100 *800*600mm, and the ventilation and heat dissipation
effect is good. The cabinet body is coated with industrai gray. An axial flow fan is installed
on the back door of each control cabinet, which can effectively reduce the temperature
in the control cabinet after convection with the SCR cooling fan.
The electrical components are of are domestic famous brands.
5.9 Fast Cooling Equipment
In order to meet the cooling requirements of customers, a cooling blower is installed
at the bottom of the electric furnace. The upper part of the furnace is provided with a
cooling port, which is closed when the electric furnace is working. When cooling, open
the cooling port and start the cooling fan, which makes the air flow in the furnace and
bring out heat, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling
