Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to resin grinding wheel kilns, and more particularly to nitrogen tunnel kilns for oxygen-free curing of resin grinding wheels and their control methods. Background Technology
[0002] Resin grinding wheels require heating and curing after hot pressing. Currently, most equipment used for curing resin grinding wheels is electrically heated resin curing ovens (curing ovens); the hot-pressed resin grinding wheel is placed in the curing oven and heated and cured according to a set heating process (temperature rise curve).
[0003] The grinding media of resin grinding wheels mostly contain corundum, phenolic resin liquid, phenolic resin powder, cryolite powder, and colored pigments. These raw materials are easily oxidized during heating, which leads to a decrease in the sharpness and moisture resistance of the resin grinding wheel, and also causes the colored pigments in the resin grinding wheel to lose their original color. Summary of the Invention

The tunnel kiln body is composed of multiple individual kilns connected in a sealed manner in sequence. Each individual kiln has the same structure, including: The first flue gas outlet, air outlet, and second flue gas outlet are sequentially and intermittently set on the top wall of the individual kiln along the center line of the tunnel kiln body. Several air inlets are provided at intervals on the lower part of the left and right side walls of the single kiln; a first nitrogen inlet is provided at the front end of the lower part of the right side wall of the single kiln, and a second nitrogen inlet is provided at the rear end of the lower part of the left side wall of the single kiln.

A row of electric heating tubes is installed on the left and right sides of the top wall of the single kiln, parallel to the center line of the tunnel kiln body. Each row of electric heating tubes extends downwards in a sealed and insulated manner into the inner cavity of the single kiln. Multiple fans are installed between each row of electric heating tubes and the corresponding side wall. A conveying track is installed on the bottom plate of the single kiln along the center line of the tunnel kiln body. The first flue gas outlet, the air outlet, the second flue gas outlet, and several air inlets are each equipped with a solenoid valve that is controlled to open / close by a controller; the first nitrogen inlet and the second nitrogen inlet are equipped with solenoid valves that are controlled to open / close by the controller. The detection signal output terminals of the first, second, third, and fourth temperature probes are connected to the signal input terminal of the temperature controller, and the detection signal output terminal of the pressure probe is connected to the signal input terminal of the pressure gauge; the signal output terminals of the temperature controller and the pressure gauge are respectively connected to the signal acquisition terminal of the controller.
[0006] Furthermore, the controller is a PLC programmable controller. The control output terminals Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, and Y6 of the PLC programmable controller are respectively connected to the control input terminals of the running indicator light HHD and relays 2ZJ, 3ZJ, 4ZJ, 5ZJ, and 6ZJ. The normally open contact 2zj1 and normally closed contact 2zj2 of relay 2ZJ are respectively connected to the control terminals of the first nitrogen solenoid valve DF1 and the second nitrogen solenoid valve DF2. The normally open contact 3zj1 and normally closed contact 3zj2 of relay 3ZJ are respectively connected to the control terminals of the first air inlet solenoid valve KF1 and the second nitrogen solenoid valve DF2. The control terminals of the second air inlet solenoid valve KF2, the third air inlet solenoid valve KF3, and the fourth air inlet solenoid valve KF4 are connected; the normally open contact 4zj1 and normally closed contact 4zj2 of relay 4ZJ are connected to the control terminal of the first flue gas outlet solenoid valve PYF1; the normally open contact 5zj1 and normally closed contact 5zj2 of relay 5ZJ are connected to the control terminal of the air outlet solenoid valve PKF; the normally open contact 6zj1 and normally closed contact 6zj2 of relay 6ZJ are connected to the control terminal of the second flue gas outlet solenoid valve PYF2.

[0007] The method for controlling the nitrogen tunnel kiln for oxygen-free curing of resin grinding wheels according to the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: After the kiln car carrying the resin grinding wheel to be cured enters the tunnel kiln, the feed sealing door and the discharge sealing door are closed, and the blower and electric heating tube in each individual kiln are turned on to heat according to the set temperature rise curve. Step 2: Open the solenoid valves of the first flue gas outlet, air outlet, and second flue gas outlet to exhaust the water vapor and impurities evaporated from the resin grinding wheel; Step 3: When the temperature inside the single kiln reaches 100-120℃, open the solenoid valves of the first nitrogen inlet and the second nitrogen inlet to fill the single kiln with nitrogen. After 80-100 minutes, close the solenoid valves of the first flue gas outlet and the second flue gas outlet. After another 80-100 minutes, close the solenoid valve of the air outlet. Step 4: When the pressure inside the single kiln reaches the set pressure of 900-1200Pa, the solenoid valves of the first flue gas outlet, air outlet, and second flue gas outlet are opened alternately in sequence to exhaust gas. Step 5: When the pressure inside the single kiln drops by 100Pa, close the solenoid valves of the first flue gas outlet, the air outlet, and the second flue gas outlet. Step 6: Repeat steps 4-5 until the resin grinding wheel to be cured is finished.
[0008] This invention continuously replenishes nitrogen into a single-unit kiln, gradually reducing the oxygen content to an oxygen-free state. Actual measurements show that the final oxygen content is only 0.04%, thus protecting the resin-cured grinding wheel from oxidation during heating. This overcomes the disadvantage of oxidation of organic pigments in resin-cured grinding wheels, increases the curing temperature, and significantly improves the sharpness, cutting endurance, and deliquescence resistance of the resin-cured grinding wheel. Furthermore, by using a nitrogen tunnel kiln to cure the resin-cured grinding wheel, the production efficiency is greatly improved compared to existing resin hardening furnaces.

After 80-100 minutes, close the solenoid valves PYF1 and PYF2 of the first flue gas outlet 3.2 and the second flue gas outlet 3.4. After another 80-100 minutes, close the solenoid valve PKF of the air outlet 3.3. Step 4: When the pressure inside the single kiln reaches the set pressure of 900-1200Pa, the solenoid valves of the first flue gas outlet 32, air outlet 3.3, and second flue gas outlet 3.4 are opened alternately in sequence to exhaust gas.
