DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0024] Specific implementation examples Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a fully automatic roasting tunnel kiln, comprising a kiln body 1 of the tunnel kiln, wherein a track 3 for a kiln car 2 to travel is laid in the kiln body 1, an equipment slot 4 is arranged at the bottom of the kiln body 1, a driving device for the kiln car 2 to move forward is installed in the equipment slot 4, the kiln car 2 is connected end to end and passes through the kiln body 1 along the track 3, the bottom of the kiln car 2 is provided with a downwardly protruding drooping edge 5 along the advancing direction, the driving device is symmetrically provided with push-pull rods 6, swing arms 7 and driving telescopic cylinders 8 on both sides of the drooping edge 5, the push-pull rod 6 has the freedom to reciprocate along the length direction of the drooping edge 5 by means of the driving telescopic cylinder 8, the swing arm 7 forms a clamping and loosening fit with the drooping edge 5 by means of the reciprocating motion of the push-pull rod 6, and the push-pull rod 6 forms an intermittent transmission fit with the kiln car 2 by means of the swing arm 7.

[0025] When the present invention is in use, the workpiece to be fired is placed on the empty kiln car 2 with the help of an overhead crane, and then the kiln car 2 is pushed into the furnace body with the help of a pushing cylinder located at the entrance of the kiln body 1. The kiln cars 2 already in the furnace body are driven by a driving device to move forward one parking space in sequence, and after waiting for a production cycle, the next kiln car 2 is sent in. When the carbon block electrode used in the electrolytic aluminum plant is fired, it takes 90 hours from the time when the kiln car 2 enters the kiln body 1 to the time when the kiln car 2 is pushed out of the kiln body 1.

[0026] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a drag seat 9 is also provided in the equipment slot 4 below the drooping edge 5, and the drag seat 9 forms a sliding and translational fit with the equipment slot 4 by means of a slide rail 10 provided at the bottom, one end of the swing arm 7 is hinged to the push-pull rod 6, the middle part of the swing arm 7 is hinged to the drag seat 9, and the other end of the swing arm 7 abuts against the side of the drooping edge 5, and the swing arms 7 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drooping edge 5 form a clamping fit with the drooping edge 5.

[0027] By driving the extension of the telescopic cylinder 8, Figure 4 As shown in a1, by means of the leftward movement of the push-pull rod 6, the swing arm 7 swings clockwise, and at the same time, the swing arm 7 pulls the drag seat 9, so that the drag seat 9 is dragged to the left side of the figure on the slide rail 10. At this time, the overhanging end of the swing arm 7 is separated from the hanging edge 5; when the telescopic cylinder 8 is driven to retract, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in b1, with the help of the rightward movement of the push-pull rod 6, due to the existence of the friction resistance between the drag seat 9 and the slide rail 10, the swing arm 7 swings counterclockwise, and the overhanging end of the swing arm 7 contacts the drooping edge 5 to form a clamping fit. The angle between the side of the swing arm 7 and the drooping edge 5 satisfies the self-locking angle of contact between the two, so that the push-pull rod 6 can clamp the drooping edge 5 and drive the kiln car 2 to step forward one parking space length when it continues to move right with the driving telescopic cylinder 8.

[0028] Furthermore, a filling block 11 is provided on the side of the swing arm 7 that contacts the drooping edge 5, and the filling block 11 includes a hinged portion 1101 and a filling portion 1102, and the filling portion 1102 is a wedge-shaped structure that is wide at one end and narrow at the other end, and the hinged portion 1101 is cantilevered on both sides of the filling portion 1102 and is hinged to the end of the swing arm 7, and the end arc surface of the swing arm 7 is in contact with the inner surface of the filling portion 1102 and both are in a circular arc structure, and the center of the two circular arc structures is located on the hinge shaft 1103 between the hinged portion 1101 and the end of the swing arm 7, and the outer surface of the filling block 11 is also in a circular arc structure.

[0029] The swing arm 7 is tilted, and the tilting direction of the swing arm 7 is tilted along the push-pull rod 6 toward the advancing direction of the drooping edge 5 .

[0030] The hinge shaft 1103 between the swing arm 7 and the stuffing block 11 is provided with a coil spring, and the stuffing portion 1102 of the stuffing block 11 has the freedom to swing toward the gap between the swing arm 7 and the drooping edge 5 by means of the coil spring.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown in a2, when the telescopic cylinder 8 is extended, that is, the swing arm 7 is in the relaxation stage, the filling portion 1102 is pressed against the front side of the swing arm 7 by means of the coil spring. When the telescopic cylinder 8 is retracted, that is, the clamping stage of the swing arm 7, the swing arm 7 swings counterclockwise, so that the cantilevered end of the swing arm 7 leans against the side wall of the drooping edge 5, and the outer side surface of the filling portion 1102 contacts the side wall of the drooping edge 5. The outer side surface of the filling portion 1102 is provided with a concave friction pattern to increase the friction force between the drooping edge 5 and the filling portion 1102. After the filling portion 1102 contacts the drooping edge 5, due to the continued counterclockwise swinging trend of the swing arm 7, the cantilevered end of the swing arm 7 begins to move toward the filling portion 110 2 moves from the raised part of the wedge surface, so that the clamping force increases rapidly, and the end length of the swing arm 7 is extended by means of the wedge-shaped filling portion 1102, and no clamping occurs when the filling portion 1102 contacts the drooping edge 5, and other swing arms 7 still have room to move, so that even after the end surface of the drooping edge 5 is uneven due to long-term work, it can still be clamped by as many swing arms 7 as possible at the same time to avoid slipping. Even if only a few swing arms 7 apply force under extreme conditions and a certain degree of slipping occurs, the displacement caused by the slipping also allows the filling portion 1102 to enter the gap between the swing arm 7 and the drooping edge 5, so that the swing arm 7 that is not clamped at the first time enters the clamping working state, thereby avoiding the subsequent slipping.

[0032] Furthermore, the push-pull rod 6 is arranged in the equipment slot 4 by means of a pull rod support, and one end of the swing arm 7 hinged with the push-pull rod 6 is provided with an oblong hole 12, and a pin 13 is provided on the push-pull rod 6 to pass through the oblong hole 12. By means of the cooperation between the oblong hole 12 and the pin 13, the swing arm 7 has the freedom to swing relative to the push-pull rod 6. By means of the oblong hole 12, the displacement of the pin 13 when the swing arm 7 swings is avoided to avoid interference and jamming.

[0033] The equipment slots 4 are arranged in groups at intervals at the bottom of the kiln body 1 .

[0034] The present invention also includes a roasting method for a tunnel kiln, including the following temperature control method, wherein the kiln body 1 is divided into a preheating ab section from the entrance to the exit, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 150°C, the temperature of the preheating bc section is 150°C-750°C, the temperature of the preheating cd section is 750°C-850°C, the temperature of the preheating de section is 850°C-1100°C, the temperature of the preheating ef section is 1100°C-1250°C, the temperature of the firing fg section is 1250°C for insulation, the temperature of the slow cooling gh section is 1250°C-1200°C, the temperature of the cooling wind hi section is 1200°C-900°C, the temperature of the re-cooling ij section is 900°C-220°C, and the kiln is discharged from the exit.
