AI Technical Summary
The existing kiln structure has too much effective space occupied by saggers, resulting in a reduced material loading capacity per unit volume and low sintering output.
A continuous sintering system is adopted, in which the material is directly fed onto the conveyor belt by the feeder and circulated along the heating chamber, the heat preservation chamber and the cooling chamber. The material completes sintering and cooling during the conveying process, and automatically separates from the conveyor belt after cooling. This reduces the number of saggers and improves the uniformity and efficiency of material heating.
By reducing the space occupied by the sagger, sintering efficiency and space utilization are improved, production costs are reduced, and the material is heated more evenly, thus solving the problem of low sintering output.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application.
[0020] In order to solve the technical problem that the actual material loading capacity in unit volume is reduced due to the fact that the effective space in the structure of the kiln 200 is occupied too much by the sagger itself, thereby resulting in low sintering yield, the present application provides a continuous sintering system and production process, which can realize direct discharging of the material onto the conveying belt 310 by the discharger 410, circulating conveying of the material along the setting direction of the heating cavity 220, the holding cavity 230 and the cooling cavity 240, and completion of sintering and cooling during the conveying process, and the cooled material can be automatically separated from the conveying belt 310 under the action of gravity. The structure reduces the setting of the sagger, avoids the occupation of the space for the distribution of the material on the conveying belt 310, saves production cost, and at the same time, the material is heated more uniformly when passing through the heating cavity 220, thereby improving the sintering efficiency.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic view of a continuous sintering system and production process in an embodiment of the present application. The continuous sintering system comprises a shell 100, a kiln 200, a conveying assembly 300, a discharging assembly 400 and a discharge pipe 800. The shell 100 is hollow inside and has a discharge port. The kiln 200 is built-in the shell 100. The inside of the kiln 200 has a discharging cavity 210, a heating cavity 220, a holding cavity 230 and a cooling cavity 240 which are sequentially arranged and mutually communicated. The conveying assembly 300 comprises a conveying belt 310. The conveying belt 310 is built-in the shell 100 and partially penetrates the kiln 200, for circulating conveying of the material along the setting direction of the discharging cavity 210, the heating cavity 220, the holding cavity 230 and the cooling cavity 240. The discharging assembly 400 comprises a discharger 410. The discharger 410 is connected to the shell 100, and the discharge end of the discharger 410 is arranged opposite to the conveying belt 310. The discharge pipe 800 is connected to the discharge port.

The cooled material can be automatically separated from the conveying belt 310 under the action of gravity. This structure reduces the setting of the sagger, avoids the occupation of the space of the conveying belt 310 by the sagger, saves the production cost, and improves the sintering efficiency because the material is heated more uniformly when passing through the heating cavity 220.

[0054] In order to better understand the present application, the following is combined with Figure 1 The technical scheme of the present application is described in detail: The inside of the shell 100 is provided with the kiln 200, the inside of the kiln 200 has the blanking chamber 210, the heating chamber 220, the heat preservation chamber 230 and the cooling chamber 240 which are sequentially arranged and communicated with each other, the conveying belt 310 is built-in in the shell 100 and partially penetrates the kiln 200, and is used for circularly conveying the material along the arrangement direction of the blanking chamber 210, the heating chamber 220, the heat preservation chamber 230 and the cooling chamber 240, the material is blanked by the blanker 410 on the conveying belt 310, and sequentially passes through the heating chamber 220, the heat preservation chamber 230 and the cooling chamber 240 to complete sintering and cooling, the cooled material is separated from the conveying belt 310 under the action of gravity and is collected in the shell 100, and finally is discharged through the discharge pipe 800. Compared with the prior art, the material is directly blanked on the conveying belt 310 by using the blanker 410, the material is circularly conveyed along the arrangement direction of the heating chamber 220, the heat preservation chamber 230 and the cooling chamber 240 by the conveying belt 310, and sintering and cooling can be completed in the conveying process, and the cooled material can be automatically separated from the conveying belt 310 under the action of gravity. The structure reduces the setting of the sagger, not only avoids the sagger from occupying the space of the material distributed on the conveying belt 310 and saves the production cost, but also the material is heated more uniformly when passing through the heating chamber 220, and the sintering efficiency is improved.
[0055] The specific workflow of the present application is that before discharging, nitrogen is used to replace the air in the kiln 200 to ensure that the oxygen content in the kiln 200 meets the standard (for example: when preparing lithium iron phosphate (manganese), the oxygen content required when the material is sintered should be ≤10 ppm), then the heating system, exhaust system and cooling system of the kiln 200 are started, when the temperature reaches the preset temperature, the discharging assembly 400 is started, the material is uniformly laid from the discharging hopper 420 through the discharger 410, the discharger 410 moves uniformly and reciprocally in the main body of the kiln 200 in the transverse direction, at the same time, the high-temperature-resistant conveying belt 310 is uniformly driven, so that the falling material is uniformly distributed in a sine curve, and then the material is scraped and coated flat (the inclination angle of the scraper can be automatically adjusted in real time by a laser range finder).
[0056] Further, the uniformly scraped material passes through the heating chamber 220, the heat preservation chamber 230 (the heating adopts a main heating source U-shaped silicon molybdenum rod, and an embedded infrared heating pipe is combined to assist in compensating for edge heat loss, and the front end of the heating zone adopts rapid heating and the rear end adopts slow heating) and the cooling chamber 240 (the main body of the kiln 200 is connected with a 25 °C circulating water cooling coil pipe) in sequence at a uniform speed with the high-temperature-resistant conveying belt 310, and finally falls into the inside of the shell of the kiln 200 with the movement of the conveying belt 310, and then enters the discharge pipe 800 and is discharged into the next process.
[0057] Further, the sulfide, nitrogen oxide and inorganic matter tail gas generated after sintering of the material enters the incinerator 620 with the induced draft fan 610 for incineration, and after the incineration tail gas meets the standard, it is discharged or waste heat is recovered for secondary utilization, when the high-temperature-resistant conveying belt 310 runs to the furnace head side, the residual material powder is brushed down and falls into the discharge pipe 800 by the cleaning brush 510, nitrogen gas is blown out from the micropores in the middle of the brush for secondary strengthening cleaning, without the need for workers to clean again, and then enters the kiln 200 for circulation operation.
[0058] Compared with the traditional roller kiln 200, the present application adopts an integrated kiln 200, which reduces the occupied area by about 40 %, not only improving the space utilization, but also reducing the production cost; using the innovative double-path air inlet design, not only meets the demand of nitrogen atmosphere of the kiln 200, but also serves as a cleaning gas for cleaning the residual material on the high-temperature-resistant conveying belt 310; compared with the traditional up-down heat transfer system, the present design adopts a U-shaped silicon molybdenum rod as the main heating, and an infrared auxiliary compensation composite heating scheme, which can improve the uniformity of material heating.
[0059] Further, the scheme discards the traditional saggar loading, and adopts a movable feeder 410 to cooperate with the conveying belt 310 to control the sinusoidal curve loading, and complete the uniform distribution of materials through the scraper plate 450. In addition, the laser ranging can adjust the scraper plate 450 in real time, which not only realizes the uniform heating of the materials, but also shortens the production cycle and reduces the production cost. The rotary brush cooperates with the nitrogen blowing (0.3 MPa) to strengthen the cleaning strength, and there is no need for manual secondary cleaning.
[0060] The system can solve the technical problem of low sintering yield caused by the fact that the effective space in the structure of the kiln 200 is occupied too much by the saggar itself, thereby reducing the actual material loading capacity per unit volume.
[0061] The specific embodiments of the application described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the application. Any various other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the application shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the application.
