The large gear ring is fixedly mounted on the kiln body, and the transmission device is mounted on the foundation, with its output end meshing with the gear of the large gear ring. A lifting plate is installed in the kiln body, and a kiln head hood is provided on the kiln head. The kiln head is equipped with an activated sludge feeding device and a combustible waste feeding device. The lifting plate is an O-shaped chain, which is installed on the inner wall of the kiln body. The sealing structure between the kiln head and the kiln body is a labyrinth seal and a fish-scale seal. The sealing structure between the kiln tail and the kiln body is a labyrinth seal and a fish-scale seal. A flue gas outlet is provided above the kiln head hood, and a temperature measuring device is provided at the flue gas outlet. The rotary kiln drying process for PTA activated sludge results in complete combustion, good incineration effect, excellent sludge drying efficiency, energy saving, and good sealing performance.

[0004] The rotary kiln described above heats the kiln body by spraying fire into it through a burner installed at the kiln tail. However, the burner can only heat the left end of the kiln body quickly, resulting in a limited heating area. This means that the material inside the kiln cannot be heated evenly over a large area, leading to low heating efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issue of low heating efficiency of materials within the kiln body in the aforementioned rotary kilns, this application provides a rotary kiln for rapid roasting and heating of lithium ore, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A rotary kiln for rapid roasting and heating of lithium ore includes a kiln body inclined to the upper right. A kiln tail end cover is fitted to the left end of the kiln body, and a burner for injecting flames into the kiln body is fixed to the left end of the kiln tail end cover. A discharge pipe is fixed to the lower side of the kiln tail end cover. A kiln head end cover is fitted to the right end of the kiln body, and an exhaust pipe for venting smoke to the right is fixed to the right end face of the kiln head end cover. A feeding mechanism is arranged transversely inside the exhaust pipe. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding cylinder, the left end of which extends to the inner side of the right port of the kiln body, and a gap is left between the outer side of the feeding cylinder and the exhaust pipe. The kiln body includes an outer drum, and an inner drum is arranged inside the outer drum. A spiral blade is arranged between the outer surface of the inner drum and the inner surface of the outer drum. The spiral blade, the inner drum, and the outer drum are interconnected to form a spiral heating channel.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the burner injects fire into the kiln body for heating. At this time, part of the heat energy generated by the burner enters the heating channel and flows to the right end of the inner drum for external heating. Together with the heat energy inside the inner drum, it simultaneously heats a large area inside and outside, thereby greatly improving the heating speed of the material by the inner drum. At the same time, the flue gas is discharged to the right through the exhaust stack, and the residual heat of the flue gas is used to preheat the material in the feeding cylinder, thereby greatly reducing the heating time of the material and effectively improving the heating efficiency of the material.

[0008] Optionally, a toothed ring is fixedly fitted at the middle position of the outer side of the outer roller, and the left end of the outer roller is longer than the left end of the inner roller.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer roller is driven and connected to the rolling drive seat through the gear ring. The left end of the outer roller is longer than the left end of the inner roller, so that while the burner sprays fire into the inner roller, a portion of the heat energy can be sent into the heating channel.

[0010] Optionally, a smoke exhaust pipe is fixed to the upper side of the smoke exhaust pipe near the right end, and an installation port is provided on the right end face of the smoke exhaust pipe.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the exhaust stack discharges the smoke through the exhaust pipe, thereby achieving smoke exhaust to the right.

[0012] Optionally, multiple transverse heat-conducting fins are fixed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder, and the multiple heat-conducting fins are arranged radially and evenly. A feed pipe is fixed on the upper side of the end of the feeding cylinder that passes through the mounting port on the right end.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding cylinder can more efficiently conduct heat from the flue gas into the feeding cylinder through the heat-conducting fins to preheat the material.

[0014] Optionally, a transverse spiral blade rod is provided on the inner side of the feeding cylinder, a drive motor is fixed to the right end of the feeding cylinder, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the spiral blade rod, and a grinding block is fixedly connected to the left end of the spiral blade rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the spiral blade rod to rotate, thereby conveying the material to the left. At the same time, the grinding block rotates under the drive of the spiral blade rod, thereby crushing the larger particles in the material flowing between the grinding block and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, thus ensuring the roasting quality of the material.

[0016] Optionally, a transmission rod is fixed at the center of the helical blade rod, and a directional plug is fixed at the left end of the transmission rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the helical blade rod is connected to the grinding block through the plug at the end of the transmission rod.

[0018] Optionally, a conical head is fixed to the right end of the grinding block, and evenly arranged breaking teeth are fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the grinding block. A slot for engaging with the plug is opened on the right end face of the conical head, and a countersunk hole communicating with the slot is opened on the left end of the grinding block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the grinding block crushes larger particles in the material through the crushing teeth while rotating, and is connected to the plug through the slot, and then locked and fixed by the screw passing through the countersunk hole.

[0020] Optionally, a rolling drive seat is provided on the lower side of the kiln body, and rolling support seats are provided on both the left and right sides of the rolling drive seat.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the rolling support seat provides rolling support for the kiln body, while the rolling drive seat drives the kiln body to roll.

[0022] Optionally, the rolling support includes an upwardly opening first housing, with support rollers installed on the inner side of the upper port of the first housing near both the front and rear ends.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the kiln body is supported by two front and rear support rollers.

[0024] Optionally, the rolling drive seat includes an upward-opening second housing, with toothed posts installed on the inner side of the upper port of the second housing near both the front and rear ends, and a rotating motor fixedly connected to one end of the toothed post through the side wall of the second housing.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor drives the gear column to rotate, and the gear column drives the gear ring to rotate the kiln body.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. In the technical solution of the present invention, the burner injects fire into the kiln body for heating. At this time, part of the heat energy generated by the burner combustion enters the heating channel and flows to the right end of the inner drum for external heating. It works in conjunction with the heat energy inside the inner drum to heat a large area inside and outside at the same time, thereby greatly improving the heating speed of the material by the inner drum. At the same time, the flue gas is discharged to the right through the flue, and the residual heat of the flue gas is used to preheat the material in the feeding cylinder in advance, thereby greatly reducing the heating time of the material and effectively improving the heating efficiency of the material.

[0028] 2. At the same time, the spiral blade rod is driven by the drive motor to rotate, thereby conveying the material to the left. Meanwhile, the grinding block rotates under the drive of the spiral blade rod, thereby crushing the larger particles in the material flowing between the grinding block and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, thus ensuring the roasting quality of the material.

At this time, part of the heat energy generated by the combustion of the burner 1 enters the heating channel 55 and flows to the right end of the inner drum 52 for external heating. It works in conjunction with the heat energy inside the inner drum 52 to heat a large area inside and outside at the same time, thereby greatly improving the heating speed of the material by the inner drum 52. At the same time, the flue gas is discharged to the right through the flue gas 7, and the residual heat of the flue gas is used to preheat the material in the feeding cylinder 82, thereby greatly reducing the heating time of the material and effectively improving the heating efficiency of the material.

The multiple heat-conducting fins 83 are arranged radially and evenly, thus forming multiple channels between the multiple heat-conducting fins 83 for the flow of flue gas. A feed pipe 85 is fixed on the upper side of the end of the right end of the feeding cylinder 82 that passes through the mounting port 72 for feeding the material into the feeding cylinder 82.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a transverse spiral blade rod 84 is provided on the inner side of the feeding cylinder 82. A transmission rod 842 is fixed at the center of the spiral blade rod 84, and a directional plug 841 is fixed at the left end of the transmission rod 842.

A drive motor 86 is fixed at the right end of the feeding cylinder 82, and the output shaft of the drive motor 86 is fixedly connected to the spiral blade rod 84. The grinding block 81 is fixedly connected to the left end of the spiral blade rod 84. The drive motor 86 drives the spiral blade rod 84 to rotate, thereby conveying the material to the left. At the same time, the grinding block 81 rotates under the drive of the spiral blade rod 84, thereby crushing larger particles in the material flowing between the grinding block 81 and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 82, thus ensuring the roasting quality of the material.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 As shown, a conical head 812 is fixed to the right end of the grinding block 81 to guide the material flow, causing the material to flow towards the edge of the grinding block 81. The outer circumferential surface of the grinding block 81 is fixed with evenly arranged crushing teeth 811. While the grinding block 81 rotates, it crushes larger particles in the material through the crushing teeth 811. The right end face of the conical head 812 is provided with a slot 813 that mates with the plug 841. The left end of the grinding block 81 is provided with a countersunk hole 814 that communicates with the slot 813.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a rolling drive seat 4 is provided on the lower side of the kiln body 5. The rolling drive seat 4 includes a second housing 41 with an upward opening. Toothed columns 43 are installed on the inner side of the upper port of the second housing 41 near the front and rear ends. One end of the center of the toothed column 43 passes through the side wall of the second housing 41 and is fixedly connected to a rotating motor 42. The rotating motor 42 drives the toothed column 43 to rotate, and drives the toothed ring 53 to roll the kiln body 5.

[0047] Working principle: When roasting materials, they are fed into the feeding cylinder 82 through the feed pipe 85. At this time, the drive motor 86 drives the spiral blade rod 84 to rotate and convey the materials to the left. Meanwhile, the grinding block 81 rotates under the drive of the spiral blade rod 84 to crush larger particles in the material flowing between the grinding block 81 and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 82 and feed them into the inner drum 52. At the same time, the burner 1 continuously sprays flames into the inner drum 52 for heating. At the same time, some of the heat enters the heating channel 55 to heat the inner drum 52 from the outside. The rotating inner drum 52 then heats and roasts the materials. Finally, the materials are discharged through the discharge pipe 21. The hot air flow in the inner drum 52 and the heating channel 55 flows to the flue 7 and is discharged through the flue pipe 71. When the flue flows through the heat-conducting fins 83, it transfers heat to the feeding cylinder 82, thereby completing the preheating of the materials.

Various modifications and variations can be made to the invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
