There is. For example, a gas inlet is provided at the front of the heating chamber, and a gas outlet is provided at the rear of the heating chamber, and a door that can be opened and closed by a drive device is attached to the gas inlet and the gas outlet. A gas cooler that heats the object to be heated in the heating chamber under vacuum conditions with the door closed, and opens the door at the stage of cooling the object after heating, and the gas introduced into the vacuum tank sequentially follows the heating chamber. The gas is repeatedly ventilated into the heating chamber from the inlet to the outlet by forced circulation with a gas fan while being cooled by a gas fan, and at this time, the gas is brought into contact with the heated object in the heating chamber, and the object is heated. There is a cooling device. Another example is a device in which a heat shield plate is fixed by setting a gap in front of the inlet and behind the outlet to prevent heat diffusion while only allowing gas to pass through, without adding a door as described above. , a type of floating door is attached instead of the door driven by the drive device as described above, and during heating, this floating door closes the gas inlet and gas outlet by its own weight, but during cooling, this floating door closes the gas inlet and gas outlet. A device that opens the gas inlet and gas outlet by lifting it up with the gas blowing force (Special Publication No. 58-39888)

悪影響を及ぼすことになる。 However, in these conventional devices, when a heated object is gas-cooled, the cooling gas comes into contact with the object placed still in the heating chamber only from a predetermined direction. There is a problem that the cooling of hot objects is uneven and slow. When the conventional apparatus is used to harden steel products, for example, these problems not only impair processing efficiency but also seriously affect the quality of the final product.

均一且つ迅速に冷却されるのである。 Finally, after heating as specified, the heating by the heating element 9 is stopped, and nitrogen gas, for example, is introduced into the vacuum tank 1 from the gas inlet 3, and while the nitrogen gas is cooled by the gas cooler 7, the drive device 10 is operated. The gas is forced to circulate by the gas fan 8, and the heating chamber 6 is repeatedly ventilated from the gas inlet 11 to the gas outlet 12. Needless to say, at this stage, the gas inlet 11 and the gas outlet 12 are opened by operating the doors 15 and 16 by the drive devices 13 and 14, and the gas inlet 3 and the exhaust outlet 4 are closed. It is being In this case, when the mounting table 17 is rotated by the operation of the drive device 18, and the heated object A placed on the mounting table 17 is rotated, the object A to be heated placed on the mounting table 17 is forcedly circulated while being cooled. The nitrogen gas repeatedly passed through the heating chamber 6 comes into equal contact with the entire surface of the object A, and the object A is cooled uniformly and quickly.
