Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alumina ceramic firing equipment, and particularly to a firing device for alumina ceramic grinding balls. Background Art

[0002] When carrying out the production and processing of alumina ceramic grinding balls, alumina ceramic firing equipment is often required. The invention patent with the patent application number CN202020493253.8 discloses a firing device for alumina ceramic grinding balls. By setting a motor to drive the ball-making plate to vibrate up and down, a large amount of alumina raw materials can be made into balls at one time, improving the ball-making efficiency and being conducive to large-scale production. By setting multiple groups of rollers inside the pusher kiln, a large number of alumina ceramic grinding balls can be fired at one time, thereby improving the firing efficiency of alumina ceramic grinding balls. The invention patent with the patent application number CN201810672110.0 discloses a process for preparing alumina ceramic products by low-temperature sintering. It changes the traditional process of reducing the firing temperature by improving the point contact of powder, realizes the combination of the physical surface energy of β-alumina powder and the chemical energy at the molecular level of the flux, so that the β-alumina powder obtains a large surface energy, and thus can greatly reduce the energy required for firing the products and lower the firing temperature. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional process, the primary firing temperature of the alumina ceramic product preparation process provided by the present invention can be reduced by 100-150°C, and the secondary firing temperature can be reduced by 200-250°C. According to the disclosed technical solution, when the existing alumina ceramic firing equipment is in use, on the one hand, the alumina ceramic grinding balls still have a relatively high temperature when discharged, which is not only unfavorable for ensuring the safety of workers but also causes waste of energy. On the other hand, during the feeding and discharging operations of alumina ceramic grinding balls, a large amount of heat is often lost, increasing energy consumption, and the hot air flowing out is likely to cause harm to nearby personnel and items. On the further hand, when discharging the flue gas outward, the change of flue gas discharge is easily caused by the feeding and discharging operations, thereby causing fluctuations in the firing temperature inside the furnace, which is not conducive to ensuring the processing quality of alumina ceramic grinding balls.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. When the alumina ceramic grinding ball firing device is in use, place the alumina ceramic grinding ball blank on the tray, and clamp the two sides of the support plate inside the guide grooves in the tunnel kiln. The first motor drives the first shutter upward through the lead screw, then pushes the support plate to the inside of the tunnel kiln, and then closes the first shutter. The curved surface on the second gear at the top of the third motor is squeezed by the top of the tooth pattern on the support plate, causing the connecting block to squeeze the second button downward, thereby turning on the third motor. The third motor drives the connecting sleeve, and the spring in the movable groove pushes the movable block, causing the connecting block to drive the second gear to rotate. The second gear drives the support plate to move inside the guide groove through meshing with the tooth pattern. The support plate drives the tray to move to the right inside the tunnel kiln, and the support plate squeezes the second shutter, causing the movable block to squeeze the first button. The first button turns on the first motor on the second shutter, and the first motor raises the second shutter through the lead screw, further moving the support plate and the tray to the right inside the tunnel kiln to the right of the second shutter, and then lowering the second shutter. The support plate is continuously pushed to the right by the second gear on the fourth motor until the support plate moves to the first gear. The second motor drives the support plate to move slowly inside the tunnel kiln through the first gear. The burner sprays the high-temperature flame generated by burning gas from both sides of the tray inside the tunnel kiln through the flame outlet to perform the firing operation on the blank on the tray. The fired grinding balls are slowly pushed to near the third shutter until the tooth pattern on the support plate is stuck on the second gear on the fourth motor. The fourth motor drives the second gear through the connecting sleeve and the connecting block until the support plate squeezes the third shutter, and moves the support plate and the tray between the third shutter and the fourth shutter. The chimney generates suction on the gate sleeve through the channel, causing air to enter the left side of the fourth shutter through the vent. After cooling down the grinding balls, the heat-absorbing air enters the inside of the tunnel kiln from the bottom of the third shutter through the vent, and then cools down the grinding balls on the right side of the burner one by one, and drives the heat to the unfired blank to perform sufficient preheating and baking work on the blank, then passes through the vent at the bottom of the second shutter and enters the left side of the second shutter to fully dry the blank between the first shutter and the second shutter. The flue gas and air enter the inside of the gate sleeve through the air duct, and then are discharged outward through the channel and the chimney. By using the rotational speed difference between the second motor and the fourth motor, sufficient space is reserved inside the two ends of the tunnel kiln for the tray, and the second shutter and the third shutter are respectively used to reduce the interference of heat radiation for sufficient drying and cooling work. It can fully preheat and dry the blank before firing, and fully cool down the grinding balls and recover the waste heat after the firing work is completed, avoiding the danger caused by the excessive temperature of the removed grinding balls, and fully recovering the heat of the discharged exhaust gas to reduce energy waste. The third motor and the fourth motor will only be powered on when the support plate moves to the second gear and the corresponding shutter is opened, reducing power consumption.

[0016] 2. When the alumina ceramic grinding ball firing device is in use and during the feeding and discharging operations, only one of the first shutter and the second shutter, and the third shutter and the fourth shutter will be opened. Thus, the other one can be effectively used to block the hot air, preventing the hot air from flowing out during the feeding and discharging processes. This not only reduces heat waste but also ensures the safety of personnel and property at both ends of the tunnel kiln.

[0017] 3. When the second shutter rises upward, the air duct is gradually blocked as it moves upward. As a result, the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln increases, causing the heat insulation slider to be pushed upward by the air pressure and the piston to squeeze the third button upward. The third button opens the electric valve, and according to the change in the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln, the piston squeezes the third button downward or upward. Then, the opening degree at the bottom of the chimney is adjusted larger or smaller through the electric valve to regulate the exhaust speed of the chimney, ensuring the stability of the air pressure and air flow in the tunnel kiln, and thus ensuring the stability of the firing temperature of the grinding balls. This avoids fluctuations in the firing temperature caused by changes in air pressure and air flow during the feeding and discharging processes in the tunnel kiln, and guarantees the quality of the firing process of the grinding balls.

The gate plate one 5, the gate plate two 6, the gate plate three 7 and the gate plate four 8 are all sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw 10 through threads. Guide grooves 11 are opened on the inner walls of both sides of the tunnel kiln 1, and both sides of the support plate 12 are stuck inside the guide grooves 11. The trays 13 are stacked on the top of the support plate 12 through support rods. Tooth patterns are opened on both sides of the support plate 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, the motor four 16 is installed at the bottom of the tunnel kiln 1 through bolts. The bottom of the connecting sleeve 18 is key-connected to the output shafts of the motor three 15 and the motor four 16 respectively. The bottom of the connecting block 19 is stuck inside the connecting sleeve 18. A gear two 20 is welded to the top of the connecting block 19. The gear two 20 meshes with the tooth pattern.

The button three 32 is respectively installed at the top and the bottom of the piston 31. When the gate plate two 6 rises upward, the air duct 26 is gradually blocked due to upward movement, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln 1, causing the heat-insulating slider to be pushed upward by the air pressure, and causing the piston 31 to squeeze the button three 32 upward. The button three 32 opens the electric valve 29, and according to the change of the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln 1, the piston 31 squeezes the button three 32 downward or upward, thereby adjusting the opening degree of the bottom of the chimney 27 through the electric valve 29 to adjust the exhaust speed of the chimney 27, so as to ensure the stability of the air pressure and air flow in the tunnel kiln 1, and further ensure the stability of the temperature for firing the grinding balls. During the feeding and discharging processes, the firing temperature fluctuates due to the changes in air pressure and air flow, ensuring the quality of the firing process of the grinding balls.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom of the connecting block 19 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the connecting sleeve 18 through a spring 22. A second button 24 is welded on the inner wall of the bottom of the connecting sleeve 18. The second button 24 is connected to the third motor 15 and the fourth motor 16 through wires. The first button 23 is connected to the first motor 9 through a wire. The third motor 15 and the fourth motor 16 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the tunnel kiln 1. A controller is externally connected to the tunnel kiln 1. The controller is connected to the burner 2, the first motor 9, the second motor 14, the third motor 15, the fourth motor 16, the first button 23, the second button 24, and the third button 32 through wires. The third button 32 is connected to the electric valve 29 through a wire. When in use, place the alumina ceramic grinding ball blank on the tray 13, and clamp both sides of the support plate 12 inside the guide groove 11 in the tunnel kiln 1. The first motor 9 drives the first shutter 5 to move upward through the lead screw 10, and then pushes the support plate 12 to the inside of the tunnel kiln 1, and then closes the first shutter 5. The curved surface 21 on the second gear 20 at the top of the third motor 15 is squeezed by the top of the tooth pattern on the support plate 12, causing the connecting block 19 to squeeze the second button 24 downward, thereby turning on the third motor 15. The third motor 15 drives the connecting sleeve 18, and the spring 22 in the movable groove pushes the movable block, causing the connecting block 19 to drive the second gear 20 to rotate. The second gear 20 drives the support plate 12 to move inside the guide groove 11 through meshing with the tooth pattern. The support plate 12 drives the tray 13 to move to the right inside the tunnel kiln 1, and the support plate 12 squeezes the second shutter 6, causing the movable block to squeeze the first button 23.

The support plate 12 is continuously pushed to the right by the second gear 20 on the fourth motor 16 until the support plate 12 moves to the first gear 17. The second motor 14 drives the support plate 12 to move slowly inside the tunnel kiln 1 through the first gear 17. The burner 2 sprays the high-temperature flame generated by burning gas from both sides of the tray 13 inside the tunnel kiln 1 to perform the firing operation on the blank on the tray 13. The fired grinding balls are slowly pushed to near the third shutter 7 until the tooth pattern on the support plate 12 is stuck on the second gear 20 on the fourth motor 16. The fourth motor 16 drives the second gear 20 through the connecting sleeve 18 and the connecting block 19 until the support plate 12 squeezes the third shutter 7, and moves the support plate 12 and the tray 13 between the third shutter 7 and the fourth shutter 8. The chimney 27 generates suction on the gate sleeve 4 through the channel 28, causing air to enter the left side of the fourth shutter 8 through the vent 25. After cooling and lowering the temperature of the grinding balls, the heat-absorbed air enters the inside of the tunnel kiln 1 from the bottom of the third shutter 7 through the vent 25, and then cools and lowers the temperature of the grinding balls located on the right side of the burner 2 one by one, and drives the heat to the unfired blank to perform sufficient preheating and baking work on the blank, and then passes through the vent 25 at the bottom of the second shutter 6 and enters the left side of the second shutter 6.Fully dry the blank between the first gate plate 5 and the second gate plate 6. Flue gas and air enter the inner side of the gate sleeve 4 through the air duct 26, and then are discharged outward through the channel 28 and the chimney 27. Utilize the rotational speed difference between the second motor 14 and the fourth motor 16 to leave sufficient space inside both ends of the tunnel kiln 1 for the tray 13, and respectively use the second gate plate 6 and the third gate plate 7 to reduce the interference of heat radiation, so as to carry out sufficient drying and cooling work. It is possible to fully preheat and dry the blank before firing, and fully cool down the grinding balls and recover the waste heat after the firing work is completed, avoid the danger caused by the overheated removed grinding balls, and make the heat of the exhausted tail gas be fully recovered, reducing energy waste. The third motor 15 and the fourth motor 16 will only be powered on when the support plate 12 moves to the second gear 20 and the corresponding gate plate is opened, reducing power consumption.

[0034] The firing device for alumina ceramic grinding balls provides electrical energy for all electrical equipment through an external power supply. When in use, place the alumina ceramic grinding ball blank on the tray 13, and clamp both sides of the support plate 12 inside the guide groove 11 in the tunnel kiln 1. The first motor 9 drives the first shutter 5 to move upward through the lead screw 10, then pushes the support plate 12 to the inside of the tunnel kiln 1, and then closes the first shutter 5. The curved surface 21 on the second gear 20 at the top of the third motor 15 is squeezed by the top of the tooth pattern on the support plate 12, causing the connecting block 19 to squeeze the second button 24 downward, thereby turning on the third motor 15. The third motor 15 drives the connecting sleeve 18, and the spring 22 in the movable groove pushes the movable block, causing the connecting block 19 to drive the second gear 20 to rotate. The second gear 20 drives the support plate 12 to move inside the guide groove 11 through meshing with the tooth pattern. The support plate 12 drives the tray 13 to move to the right inside the tunnel kiln 1, and the support plate 12 squeezes the second shutter 6, causing the movable block to squeeze the first button 23. The first button 23 turns on the first motor 9 on the second shutter 6. The first motor 9 raises the second shutter 6 through the lead screw 10, further moving the support plate 12 and the tray 13 to the right inside the tunnel kiln 1 to the right side of the second shutter 6, and then lowers the second shutter 6. The support plate 12 is continuously pushed to the right by the second gear 20 on the fourth motor 16 until the support plate 12 moves to the first gear 17. The second motor 14 drives the support plate 12 to move slowly inside the tunnel kiln 1 through the first gear 17. The burner 2 sprays the high-temperature flame generated by burning gas from both sides of the tray 13 inside the tunnel kiln 1 through the flame port 3 to perform the firing operation on the blank on the tray 13. The fired grinding balls are slowly pushed to near the third shutter 7 until the tooth pattern on the support plate 12 is stuck on the second gear 20 on the fourth motor 16. The fourth motor 16 drives the second gear 20 through the connecting sleeve 18 and the connecting block 19 until the support plate 12 squeezes the third shutter 7, and moves the support plate 12 and the tray 13 between the third shutter 7 and the fourth shutter 8. The chimney 27 generates suction on the gate sleeve 4 through the channel 28, causing air to enter the left side of the fourth shutter 8 through the through port 25. After cooling and cooling down the grinding balls, the heat-absorbing air enters the inside of the tunnel kiln 1 from the bottom of the third shutter 7 through the through port 25, and then cools and cools down the grinding balls located on the right side of the burner 2 one by one, and drives the heat to the unfired blank to perform sufficient preheating and baking work on the blank, and then enters the left side of the second shutter 6 through the through port 25 at the bottom of the second shutter 6 to fully dry the blank between the first shutter 5 and the second shutter 6. The flue gas and air enter the inside of the gate sleeve 4 through the air duct 26, and then are discharged outward through the channel 28 and the chimney 27. By using the speed difference between the second motor 14 and the fourth motor 16, sufficient space is reserved inside both ends of the tunnel kiln 1 for the tray 13, and the second shutter 6 and the third shutter 7 are respectively used to reduce the interference of heat radiation for sufficient drying and cooling and cooling down work. It can fully preheat and dry the blank before firing, and fully cool and cool down the grinding balls after the firing work and recover the waste heat.Avoid the ground balls removed from being dangerous due to excessive temperature, and fully recover the heat of the exhausted tail gas to reduce energy waste. Motors III 15 and IV 16 will only be powered on and operate when the support plate 12 moves to the position of gear II 20 and the corresponding gate plate is opened, reducing power consumption. Only one of gate plate I 5 and gate plate II 6, and gate plate III 7 and gate plate IV 8 will be opened at any time. Furthermore, the other one is effectively used to block the hot air, avoiding the situation of hot air flowing outwards during the feeding and discharging processes, reducing heat waste, and ensuring the safety of personnel and property at both ends of the tunnel kiln 1. When gate plate II 6 rises upwards, the air duct 26 is gradually blocked due to upward movement, increasing the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln 1. As a result, the heat insulation slider is pushed upwards by the air pressure, and the piston 31 squeezes button III 32 upwards. Button III 32 opens the electric valve 29, and according to the change in the air pressure inside the tunnel kiln 1, the piston 31 squeezes button III 32 downwards or upwards, thereby adjusting the opening degree at the bottom of the chimney 27 through the electric valve 29 to adjust the exhaust speed of the chimney 27, ensuring the stability of the air pressure and air flow in the tunnel kiln 1, and then ensuring the stability of the firing temperature of the ground balls, avoiding fluctuations in the firing temperature caused by changes in air pressure and air flow during the feeding and discharging processes in the tunnel kiln 1, and ensuring the quality of the firing process of the ground balls.
