The present invention discloses a material processing apparatus using quasi-traveling microwave to conduct heat treatment. This novel material processing apparatus is particularly developed for replacing the conventional microwave drying machine having resonant cavity, so as to conduct apply a high-efficiency, steady and uniform heat process to a thread-type object like fiber, silk, artificial fiber, and artificial silk. The material processing apparatus comprises a primary waveguide tube, a microwave blocking plate, a secondary waveguide tube, and at least one microwave absorbing member disposed in the primary waveguide tube. According to the present invention, a microwave source supplies a microwave to the secondary waveguide tube and the primary waveguide tube, such that the microwave travels in the two waveguide tubes so as to become a quasi-traveling microwave. In addition, a thread-type object can be fed into the primary waveguide tube via the secondary waveguide tube, such that a first part of the thread-type object is accommodated in a cavity of the microwave absorbing member, and a second part of the thread-type object are still in the primary waveguide tube and/or the secondary waveguide tube. In such case, besides the first part being heated after absorbing the quasi-traveling microwave, the microwave absorbing member simultaneously absorbs the quasi-traveling microwave so as to generate a heat to heat the second part. |
