The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace 10 in which graphite carbon rods are uniformly distributed in a heating channel, which includes: a potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace body 20 and a plurality of graphite carbon rod heating devices 30.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace body 20 includes an outer furnace body 21 and an inner furnace body 22 , a heating chamber 23 (ie, a heating channel) is formed between the outer furnace body 21 and the inner furnace body 22 , and the inner furnace body 22 forms a material stirring chamber 24 .

[0035] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer furnace body 21 has a plurality of reformed windows 25 (such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG, a plurality of graphite carbon rod heating devices 30 correspond to a plurality of transformation windows 25 one by one, and each graphite carbon rod heating device 30 is detachably installed in the heating chamber 23 through the corresponding transformation window 25 .

[0036] Next, the specific structure of the graphite carbon rod heating device 30 is described:

[0037] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The graphite carbon rod heating device 30 includes: a window sealing ring 100 , a base ring 200 , an air supply outer tube 300 , a heating inner tube 400 , and a plurality of air control fins 500 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the window sealing ring 100 is fixed to the modified window 25, and the air supply outer tube 300 is detachably installed in the window sealing ring 100 through the base ring 200. The wall of the air supply outer tube 300 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 310, and a plurality of air control fins 500 are movably plugged into the plurality of air outlets 310 in a one-to-one correspondence (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown).

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the heating inner tube 400 can be telescopically sleeved in the air supply outer tube 300 along the axis. A graphite carbon rod core 600 is provided in the heating inner tube 400. Ventilation holes 410 (such as Figure 4 As shown), one end of the heating inner tube 400 extends outside the air supply outer tube 300 and forms an air inlet 420 (as shown Figure 5 shown).

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the air control fin 500 has a main body 510, a sealing portion 520, a pushing portion 530, and a pulling portion 540. The wall of the heating inner tube 400 has a pushing cone ring 430 and a pulling cone ring 440 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown).

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the vertebral ring 430 is pushed via the pushing portion 530 to push the air-controlling fins 500, causing the sealing portion 520 to block the air outlet 310. The vertebral ring 440 is pulled via the pulling portion 540 to pull the air-controlling fins 500, causing the sealing portion 520 to open to the air outlet 310, thereby forming an air outlet gap between the main body 510 and the air outlet 310. It should be noted that the main body 510 is movably inserted into the air outlet 310, forming an air outlet gap between the main body 510 and the air outlet 310, thereby preventing the main body 510 from completely blocking the air outlet 310. The hot air flow is discharged outside the air supply outer pipe 300 through the air outlet gap.

[0042] Furthermore, in the present invention, the graphite carbon rod core 600 is electrically connected to an external electrical device through an electric wire; and one end of the heating inner tube 400 extending outside the air supply outer tube 300 is connected to an external blowing device.

[0043] The working principle of the potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace of the above structure is described below (please also refer to Figure 5 ):

[0044] Before starting the equipment, a worker applies a pulling force to the heating inner tube 400 from the outside of the furnace body. The heating inner tube 400 drives the pulling cone ring 440 thereon to move outward. The pulling cone ring 440 applies force to the pulling portion 540, thereby causing the air control fins 500 to expand radially outward. As a result, the air outlet 310 is in an open state, and the sealing portion 520 no longer blocks the air outlet 310.

[0045] The external electrical device energizes the graphite carbon rod core 600, and the graphite carbon rod core 600 generates heat when energized;

[0046] At the same time, the external blasting device blows gas through the heated inner tube 400. The gas enters the heated inner tube 400 and contacts the graphite carbon rod core 600 to generate a hot air flow. The hot air flow passes through the ventilation hole 410, the air outlet gap between the main body 510 and the air outlet 310 in sequence, and is finally discharged from the air outlet 310. It should be noted that the present invention mainly relies on the heat generated by the dry burning of the graphite carbon rod core 600 to heat the furnace. The external blasting device blows a small amount of gas through the heated inner tube 400 to make the heat in the furnace more evenly distributed.

[0047] The hot air flow discharged from the air outlet 310 reaches the heating chamber 23, and the heating chamber 23 is heated and the heat energy is transferred to the material mixing chamber 24 by heat conduction.

[0048] The material mixing chamber 24 is filled with materials (such as Figure 1 As shown), in the stirring device 40 (as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the material is evenly heated and a corresponding chemical reaction occurs; the material is put into the material stirring chamber 24 from the top of the inner furnace body 22, and the material that has undergone the chemical reaction is discharged from the bottom of the inner furnace body 22;

[0049] When the potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace is suspended, the external electrical equipment stops supplying power to the graphite carbon rod core 600, and at the same time, the external blast equipment stops supplying power to the heating inner tube 400.

[0050] The staff applies a thrust to the heating inner tube 400 from the outside of the furnace body. The heating inner tube 400 drives the pushing cone ring 430 thereon to move inward, pushing the cone ring 430 to apply force to the pushing portion 530, thereby causing the air control fins 500 to retract radially. As a result, the air outlet 310 is in a closed state, and the sealing portion 520 re-blocks the air outlet 310. In this way, the air flow channel is blocked, making it difficult for corrosive gases in the surrounding environment to enter the interior of the graphite carbon rod heating device, preventing the graphite carbon rod core 600 from being corroded by the corrosive gases, thereby extending the service life of the graphite carbon rod core 600.

[0051] When the entire graphite carbon rod heating device needs to be repaired and maintained, the locking connection between the window sealing ring 100 and the base ring 200 is released, and the graphite carbon rod heating device is pulled outward, so that the graphite carbon rod heating device can be quickly removed from the furnace body, which is very convenient. Of course, the graphite carbon rod core 600 can also be removed from the heating inner tube 400 separately without disassembling the entire graphite carbon rod heating device, and the graphite carbon rod core 600 can be replaced.

[0052] It should be noted that the present invention is a technical transformation based on the traditional potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace. It is necessary to install multiple graphite carbon rod heating devices 30 on the furnace body. In this way, the entire furnace body can be heated evenly and the power can be increased. The traditional furnace body is usually only provided with an air inlet for use with natural gas. Therefore, during the technical transformation process, the air inlet will be blocked with bricks, and a modification window 25 (such as 25) for use with the graphite carbon rod heating device will be newly carved out on the furnace wall of the outer furnace body. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a window sealing ring 100 is fixedly installed in the modified window 25, and the connection between the window sealing ring 100 and the modified window 25 is sealed with concrete. This allows the entire graphite carbon rod heating device 30, except for the window sealing ring 100, to be removed from the furnace body, facilitating maintenance. The furnace body is typically a brick structure, while the window sealing ring 100 is made of a rigid material. The base ring 200, which mates with the window sealing ring 100, is also made of a rigid material. This allows the window sealing ring 100 and base ring 200, both made of rigid materials, to be easily installed or removed and provide a better seal.

[0053] In the present invention, the graphite carbon rod heating device 30 is horizontally installed and placed in the potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace body 20 (such as Figure 1 When maintenance is required on the graphite carbon rod heating device 30, the main components of the graphite carbon rod heating device 30 can be easily removed from the furnace body, making installation easier. This eliminates the need for personnel to drill into the furnace body to perform maintenance on the graphite carbon rod heating device 30, thus resolving the technical issue of difficult maintenance, a key consideration when upgrading a potassium sulfate Mannheim furnace.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present invention, a plurality of air outlets 310 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer air supply tube 300, with each air outlet 310 extending linearly along the axial direction of the outer air supply tube 300. Furthermore, a plurality of ventilation holes 410 are formed in the wall of the inner heating tube 400, and the ventilation holes 410 are evenly distributed along the wall of the inner heating tube 400. This allows the hot air flow to be evenly discharged from all sides of the outer air supply tube 300, and the air supply range is wider, resulting in more uniform heating within the heating chamber 23.

[0055] In the present invention, the graphite carbon rod heating device 30 further includes a plug end 700 (such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , one end of the outer air supply pipe 300 is fixed to the plug end 700, and a receiving groove for accommodating the plug end 700 is provided on the furnace wall of the inner furnace body 22. The receiving groove for accommodating the plug end 700 on the furnace wall of the inner furnace body 22 provides a stable support point for the entire graphite carbon rod heating device 30, preventing the graphite carbon rod heating device 30 from tilting during prolonged use.

[0056] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
