1. Core structural characteristics of the lifting bell jar furnace
The lifting bell jar furnace adopts a modular split structure design, consisting of six core modules: bell jar furnace body, intelligent lifting system, insulation furnace, temperature control system, gas path vacuum system, and safety protection system. Each module works together to balance equipment stability, process accuracy, and operational safety, and is the core guarantee for high-precision high-temperature heat treatment.
(1). Clock cover lifting structure, efficient and convenient loading and unloading of materials
The core feature of the equipment is the independent bell jar lifting design, equipped with hydraulic or electric mechanical lifting transmission system. The lifting process is smooth and uniform, without shaking or jamming, and can more accurately control the lifting height and speed. Different from the traditional fixed electric furnace's door opening and material retrieval mode, the bell jar can be lifted and opened as a whole, and the furnace bottom worktable is completely exposed, with a large operating space. Whether it is small experimental samples, irregular workpieces, or large-sized and large batch materials, they can be quickly loaded and unloaded, greatly reducing the difficulty of manual operation and improving experimental and production efficiency. At the same time, the closed bell jar structure has strong sealing performance after closure, laying a good foundation for vacuum and atmosphere heat treatment processes.
(2). High quality insulated furnace with strong high-temperature resistance and durability
The furnace is made of vacuum adsorption molding aluminum oxide polycrystalline fiber inorganic material or nano ceramic foam fiber material, with multi-layer composite insulation structure, which has the advantages of good insulation performance, high temperature resistance, high tensile strength, not easy to deform, not falling powder, and no volatile matter. This material has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and can withstand high temperature conditions of 1200 ℃ -1600 ℃ for a long time, avoiding problems such as furnace collapse and cracking under high temperature. Its service life far exceeds that of ordinary refractory furnaces. At the same time, heating elements are evenly arranged on all four sides to ensure a uniform distribution of temperature field in the furnace, with minimal temperature difference control, effectively ensuring consistent heat treatment effect of the workpiece and eliminating local overheating and uneven sintering process problems.
(3). Intelligent touch screen temperature control system, more accurate and reproducible technology
The device is equipped with a full touch screen intelligent operation panel, which adopts artificial intelligence PID adjustment technology and self-tuning function. It supports editing and storing more than 30 segments of temperature rise and fall programs, and can freely set the heating, constant temperature, and cooling time periods, adapting to various complex heat treatment processes. All temperature control curves can be displayed in real-time, accessed with one click, stored, and support data export, without the need to repeatedly set parameters, making it easy to replicate mature experiments and mass production processes. High temperature control accuracy allows for more precise control of temperature changes inside the furnace, meeting the high standard temperature control requirements for new material research and precision workpiece processing. It has a high degree of automation and is easy to operate.
(4). Dual adaptation of vacuum and atmosphere, wide process compatibility
The lifting bell jar furnace is equipped with a multi-stage gas path system and vacuum unit, which can achieve high vacuum environment, air environment, as well as various inert and reducing atmosphere heat treatment operations such as nitrogen and argon. The enclosed furnace structure has good air tightness and can effectively isolate air, prevent high-temperature oxidation, decarburization, and discoloration of materials, and better solve the pain points of powder and precision metal parts that are prone to oxidation and agglomeration during heat treatment. It can be adapted to various complex processes such as degreasing, sintering, annealing, quenching, brazing, etc.
(5). Comprehensive security protection, supporting unmanned operation
The device is equipped with multiple safety protection mechanisms, including over temperature alarm, over temperature power-off, over temperature protection, thermocouple fracture protection, over-current and over-voltage protection, and other multiple protection functions. The device's operating status is monitored in real-time throughout the entire process. Once there is an abnormal temperature or equipment malfunction, it can automatically sound an alarm and cut off the power supply to eliminate safety hazards. The equipment has strong operational stability, low failure rate, supports long-term continuous operation and unmanned operation, and is suitable for laboratory normalization experiments and industrial mass production scenarios. At the same time, the furnace body adopts a double-layer air-cooled structure, with low surface temperature and safe and compliant use.
(6). Modular and customizable, suitable for multiple working conditions
The whole machine adopts modular assembly design, and the furnace size, maximum temperature, lifting mode, gas path configuration, vacuum parameters, and control functions can all be customized according to user process requirements. It can flexibly adapt to different working conditions such as small-scale scientific research experiments, pilot sampling, and industrial large-scale production, with strong adaptability.
