Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of roller kilns, in particular to a roller kiln capable of generating a wood-burning atmosphere. Background Art

[0002] The firing process of wood-fired kiln is to gradually increase the temperature. On the first day of firing the kiln, the fire is ignited and smoked at low temperature. The carbon released by the firewood fills the pores of the clay blank. After the surface of the clay blank presents the black color of carbon, the temperature can be continued to rise. This process takes about 30 hours. The characteristic of wood-fired kiln is that the ashes and flames produced by the burning of wood directly rush into the kiln. Unlike the general beautiful glaze, the ash in the kiln naturally adheres to the body, and forms a warm, smooth and layered natural gray glaze under high temperature baking. The roller kiln is a continuous kiln, a tunnel kiln with rotating rollers as the carrier of the body. The blanks, products, etc. are placed on many closely spaced horizontal refractory rollers, and the ceramics are transferred from the head of the kiln to the tail of the kiln by the rotation of the rollers. The wood-fired kiln consumes a lot of wood and is not environmentally friendly.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent application number 201820400031.X discloses an energy-saving and environmentally friendly kiln that can produce a wood-burning atmosphere. It consists of a wood burning system, a kiln body, a smoke exhaust system, a steel frame structure, a gas combustion system, a kiln car and a kiln door. The kiln body is fixed by a steel frame structure, and a wood burning system is arranged on both sides of the kiln cavity of the kiln body. The kiln cavity bottom of the kiln body is provided with a gas combustion system, and the kiln body is equipped with a kiln car that can freely enter and exit the kiln body. The front end of the kiln body is provided with a kiln door, and the kiln body is provided with a smoke exhaust system. The utility model is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving kiln that can burn products with a single gas, and can also achieve a wood-burning atmosphere by mixing wood and gas; Although the above patent heats the kiln body by adding a gas combustion system and cooperating with a firewood combustion system to achieve the effect of reducing the amount of firewood used while creating a firewood burning atmosphere, the combustion of firewood is still required to participate in creating the firewood burning atmosphere. During the firing process, a large amount of wood is still required to achieve a good firewood burning atmosphere.

[0004] Another search revealed that Chinese patent application number 201711325384.4 disclosed a black-bottom imitation wood-fired decoration. The components and mass of the black-bottom imitation wood-fired decoration base glaze are as follows: 35 to 42 parts of feldspar; 15 to 23 parts of dolomite; 3 to 6 parts of zinc oxide; 7 to 9 parts of barium carbonate; 7 to 9 parts of kaolin; 12 to 15 parts of Jiepai mud; 15 to 20 parts of iron oxide; 5 to 8 parts of manganese carbonate; the components and the content of the components of the top glaze are as follows: 30 to 35 parts of potassium feldspar; 10 to 12 parts of calcite; 14 to 16 parts of dolomite; 4 to 6 parts of Guizhou soil; 8 to 13 parts of wollastonite; 8 to 12 parts of titanium oxide; 8 to 10 parts of zirconium silicate; This black base imitation wood-fired decoration is achieved by adding a large amount of iron oxide and manganese oxide to the base glaze, and through the opacifying covering properties of the top glaze, through the reaction between the double layers of glaze and special technology to achieve the wood-fired presentation effect. Compared with the wood-fired effect, it is more controllable, and its performance and practical value are higher than those of wood-fired, and it is deeply loved by consumers.

[0005] Although the above patent sprays the prefabricated glaze on the porcelain blank and fires it in a track kiln, forming a glaze surface similar to wood-fired ash glaze on the porcelain after firing the prefabricated glaze, it uses a lot of materials and has a complicated production process. After the prefabrication is completed, it also needs to be evenly sprayed on the porcelain blank, which increases the cost of firing the porcelain.

Example

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 A roller kiln capable of generating a wood-burning atmosphere comprises a roller kiln 1 and a conveying roller 2 penetrating the interior of the roller kiln 1, wherein the conveying roller 2 comprises a plurality of groups of heat-resistant rollers driven by a first motor 3, and the rotating heat-resistant rollers are used as a blank carrier to place the product on the conveying roller 2, and the heat-resistant rollers are continuously rotated to transfer the product from the kiln head to the kiln tail, thereby completing the sintering and firing process; Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 , further, it also includes a carrier plate 5 installed at the kiln head position of the roller kiln 1, a roller 9 installed between the first end plate 4 and the second end plate 11 is provided below the carrier plate 5, the outer end of the roller 9 is provided with a tooth groove, and is meshed with the output end of the second motor 7 on the outer side of the carrier plate 5 through a gear, and the roller 9 is driven to rotate by the second motor 7, the first end plate 4 and the second end plate 11 are both installed on the top of the inner side of the kiln head of the roller kiln 1, and the roller 9 is supported by the second end plate 11 and the first end plate 4, and support rollers 10 located on both sides of the bottom of the roller 9 are provided between the second end plate 11 and the first end plate 4, and the support rollers 10 can rotate, and the roller 9 located between the second end plate 11 and the first end plate 4 is supported by the support rollers 10 to maintain its stability, and at the same time, the roller When the drum 9 rotates, the support roller 10 can also rotate with it, reducing the friction between the drum 9 and the surface of the support roller 10 when the drum 9 rotates, thereby increasing the service life of the drum 9; a plurality of evenly arranged meshes 12 are provided at the bottom of the drum 9, and a mixture of one or more of carbon powder, wood ash, limestone, etc. is driven into the drum 9. When the meshes 12 face downward when the drum 9 rotates, the material inside the drum 9 falls into the roller kiln 1 through the meshes 12 under the action of gravity, and the falling material continues to carbonize under the heating of the high-temperature airflow and adheres to the surface of the fired blank. In the low-temperature zone of the roller kiln 1, the carbonized carbon and wood ash slowly fall and fill the pores of the clay embryo on the kiln body. When the roller transports the kiln body to the high-temperature zone, the high-temperature firing is performed for glazing, thereby forming a glazing layer simulating the effect of wood firing; The open end of the drum 9 is provided with a plug 8, and the open end of the drum 9 is blocked by the plug 8 to reduce the leakage of the internal material when the drum 9 rotates. At the same time, a support rod 13 is installed on one end of the inner side of the plug 8, and a mounting sleeve 18 is installed on the other end of the support rod 13. The outer side of the mounting sleeve 18 is connected to a support ring 17 through multiple connecting plates 19. Through the support ring 17, the connecting plate 19 and the mounting sleeve 18, one end of the support rod 13 located inside the drum 9 can be supported.

The connecting rod 16 is L-shaped, and a collar 15 is installed on the top of the connecting rod 16. The collar 15 rotates It is sleeved on the support rod 13, and the material is driven into the drum 9 and sealed by the plug 8. During firing, the drum 9 is driven to rotate by the second motor 7. During the rotation, the pressure roller 14 remains in a drooping state under the action of gravity. When the drum 9 rotates, the pressure roller 14 does not rotate with it. Therefore, the material inside the drum 9 is squeezed or pushed by the pressure roller 14. Since the material inside the drum 9 is powdery and has a light weight, it may be blocked in the mesh 12 during rotation, which will cause less material to be contaminated on the porcelain blank, affecting the final glaze forming effect. The set pressure roller 14 can squeeze the material during rotation, so that the material can pass through the mesh 12 more evenly.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , further, it also includes an air distribution box 6 arranged on both sides of the kiln head of the roller kiln 1, and an air guide pipe 20 is arranged at the outer end of the air distribution box 6. The outer end of the air guide pipe 20 is connected with an external air pump or a high-temperature zone inside the roller kiln 1. When connected with the high-temperature zone inside the roller kiln 1, a blower is provided to accelerate the circulation of hot air, so that the falling materials are blown to the side of the porcelain blank through the air distribution box 6 located on the side of the kiln head of the roller kiln 1, so that the carbon powder and other materials falling through the mesh 12 under the action of gravity are more evenly distributed on the side of the porcelain blank. The air distribution box 6 can be a continuous jet of air or an intermittent jet of air. The side of the air distribution box 6 is provided with a plurality of oblique air outlet heads 21 located in the upper half and a plurality of horizontal air outlet heads 21 located in the lower half. The air outlet heads 21 are evenly distributed in the lower half of the side of the air distribution box 6. By blowing out a horizontal airflow, the fallen materials are blown onto the surface of the porcelain blank facing the kiln wall of the roller kiln 1. The air outlet heads 21 located in the upper half are mirror-distributed at both ends, and the plurality of air outlet heads 21 at both ends are inclined toward the center, so that they blow out oblique airflows, leaning against the air distribution boxes 6 on both sides, and blow the fallen materials onto the surface parallel to the kiln wall of the roller kiln 1, effectively reducing dead angles, and distributing materials such as carbon more evenly on the side of the porcelain blank.

[0024] Reference Figure 6Furthermore, the internal thread of the air outlet head 21 is connected with an air head inner core 22, and a sealing column 25 is installed on one end of the air head inner core 22 inserted into the air outlet head 21, and cooperates with the second air outlet hole 26 opened at the outer end of the air outlet head 21, and the second air outlet hole 26 can be blocked by the sealing column 25. The other end of the air head inner core 22 is provided with a mounting plate 23, which is connected to the air outlet on the air distribution box 6 through the mounting plate 23, and can be fixed and connected by welding or bolts. The interior of the air head inner core 22 is hollow, and a plurality of uniform first air outlet holes 24 are opened around the sealing column 25 at the end of the air head inner core 22. When in use, By rotating the air outlet head 21 and making the sealing column 25 away from the second air outlet 26, the air passage inside the air outlet head 21 can be opened, and the air flow is ejected outward through the second air outlet 26. At the same time, by rotating the air outlet head 21 in the opposite direction, and finally blocking the second air outlet 26 with the sealing column 25, and the air outlet head 21 also blocks the first air outlet 24 to isolate the circulation of the internal air flow, the air outlet head 21 no longer ejects air flow. When firing ceramic blanks and other workpieces, the opening and closing of the air outlet head 21 on the air distribution box 6 is adjusted according to actual needs, so that the ejected air flow also changes accordingly, so that the falling material will also produce different adhesion effects on ceramic blanks and other workpieces.

[0025] Specifically, when the roller kiln that can produce a wood-burning atmosphere is working / in use: the porcelain blank or workpiece is directly placed on the feed roller 2, or it can be placed on the feed roller 2 through a heat-resistant carrier plate. Under the transportation of the feed roller 2, the workpiece enters the interior of the roller kiln 1. When passing through the low-temperature zone, materials such as carbon powder that fall from the rotating drum 9 slowly fall down under the action of gravity, and carbonized carbon and wood ash fill the pores of the workpiece mud embryo on the feed roller 2. At the same time, under the action of the airflow ejected from the air distribution box 6, the slowly falling carbon and wood ash are evenly attached to the side of the workpiece mud embryo under the drive of the lateral and oblique airflow. When the feed roller 2 transports the kiln body to the high-temperature zone, high-temperature firing is performed for glazing, thereby forming a glazing layer that simulates the wood-burning effect.
