Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of roller kilns, in particular to an electric heating roller kiln for calcining rare earth fluorocarbonate. Background Art
[0002] A roller kiln is a continuous industrial kiln that uses rollers as material transport carriers. Rare earth fluorocarbonate is placed in a sagger or directly on rollers, and is automatically transported through the rotation of the rollers to complete the heating, calcining, sintering and other process in the kiln.
[0003] During the production process, the upper material will form a crust. Due to the low temperature at the bottom of the sagger, the fluorine content of the rare earth oxide in the bottom 1 cm thick of a certain batch of materials exceeded the standard by 0.3%.
[0004] The core causes of crust formation include: 1. Excessive top heating or heat radiation: In electric roller kilns, if the top heating elements (such as resistance wires or infrared radiation panels) are too powerful or too close to the upper material, the surface temperature of the upper material layer will be significantly higher than that of the middle / lower layers. This localized overheating can cause surface particles to melt and adhere. Heat dissipation from the kiln roof can also lead to localized condensation: If the kiln roof is inadequately insulated, rising high-temperature gases will encounter the relatively cool inner wall of the kiln roof, causing some low-melting-point volatiles (such as fluoride and silicate vapors) to condense and drip onto the upper surface, forming the core of the crust.

[0070] Beneficial effects of embodiment 1
[0071] Efficient Calcination: Multiple heating elements 5 are distributed on both sides of the roller conveyor.

Multiple temperature sensors 92 on the temperature measuring rack 89 comprehensively monitor the temperature within the kiln, ensuring temperature uniformity and optimal sintering performance.
[0072] Convenient operation: The conveyor line 10 cooperates with the roller conveyor mechanism 3 to achieve automated conveying, and the correction mechanism 79 ensures stable conveying. The shell breaking mechanism 9 can automatically process the crust inside the material box 4, and the limiter 8 accurately positions the material box 4 for easy operation.
[0073] Energy-saving and heat-insulating: The lift door 7 and stopper 6 form an insulating cavity, reducing heat loss and lowering energy consumption. The furnace 2 is composed of lightweight mullite bricks 22, diatomaceous earth bricks 23, and insulating carbon felt 24, providing excellent insulation performance and further improving energy efficiency.
[0074] Safety protection: The mesh plate 71 covers the heating element 5 outside the furnace shell 1 to prevent burns to the operator.

[0075] Easy maintenance: The propeller blades 74 can regularly clean the adhesive on the bottom of the furnace 2, making it easy to maintain the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment.

The first spring 55 can prevent the cutting plate 57 from crushing the material box 4. Movement process: The scissors 106 are hinged to the recessed groove of the shear seat 104 through the pin 105. Its movement trajectory is precisely defined by the rounded rectangular groove 107 and the round rod 108, forming a controllable shear motion pair: the round rod 108 serves as a driving fulcrum to guide the scissors 106 to rotate around the pin 105, avoiding the skewness or jamming problems that may occur in the traditional rigid cutting plate 57.
[0077] Example 2 Beneficial Effects
[0078] The shell-breaking mechanism 9 of the second embodiment can realize the shearing crushing action of the scissors 106. The shear force has a more significant effect on the crushing effect of hard crusts, and is particularly suitable for dense crusts formed due to local high temperatures during the calcination of rare earth fluorocarbonate.

The shearing action of the second embodiment can directly crush the crust into particles, reduce the subsequent material turning steps, and improve the shell-breaking efficiency.
