Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of annealing furnaces, in particular to a vertical annealing furnace. Background Art

[0002] Annealing furnace is the key equipment of continuous hot-dip galvanizing and continuous annealing production line of strip steel. Its main function is to eliminate the work hardening of raw materials after cold rolling, so that the strip steel can complete the recrystallization annealing process in the furnace. The rolling iron powder brought into the furnace due to poor cleaning effect before use is the main raw material for the formation of roller surface nodules. At the same time, when the furnace roller is in use, it will also wear the coating of the furnace roller itself, resulting in multiple pits that are easy to accumulate iron powder. After the production line runs for a certain period of time, nodules will appear on the surface of the furnace roller, resulting in defects such as indentations, scratches, and pitting on the product surface, affecting product quality.

[0003] Prior art, such as publication number CN218372438U, provides a vertical annealing furnace, comprising a furnace body, a plurality of furnace rollers, a plurality of pressure rollers, a drive assembly, a spray assembly and a washing assembly. One end of the furnace roller is rotatably connected to the furnace body, and the other end passes through the furnace body and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the furnace body. The pressure rollers are rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of the inlet and outlet of the furnace body respectively. The drive assembly is fixedly connected to one side of the furnace body, and a washing assembly is slidably connected inside the other side of the furnace body. The spray assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace body, and the spray end of the spray assembly passes through the side wall of the furnace body. The bevel gear set cooperates with the transmission wheel belt to ensure that the speeds of all furnace rollers in the converter are uniform, which greatly reduces the friction between the strip and the furnace rollers and ensures the matching between the furnace roller speed and the strip speed.

[0004] The solution uses a spray component and a washing component to effectively treat the iron powder adhering to the surface of the furnace roller before use, reducing the possibility of roller surface nodules and greatly improving the quality of the product. However, the spray component and the washing component are used together, which results in the need to completely dry the annealing furnace before subsequent use, which is more troublesome, thus affecting the efficiency of the annealing furnace and reducing work efficiency. In view of this, we propose a vertical annealing furnace. Utility Model Content
