Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of external heating type rotary furnaces, in particular to an external heating type rotary furnace with an internal temperature measurement function. Background Art

[0002] The externally heated rotary kiln heats the outer wall of the furnace tube through the heating element, thereby indirectly heating the material inside the furnace tube. At the same time, the furnace tube rotates to achieve uniform heating of the material. In order to control the temperature of the material, the temperature of the material is generally measured by a thermocouple and the heating element is fed back to control the heating element. How to ensure that the measured temperature can accurately feedback the actual temperature of the material as much as possible is the key to the temperature control system of the externally heated rotary kiln.

[0003] At present, the temperature measurement of external heating rotary furnace generally adopts the outer wall temperature measurement of furnace tube, that is, the thermocouple temperature measuring probe is close to the outer wall of furnace tube for measurement. The temperature actually measured by this method is the temperature of the outer wall of furnace tube, and there is a temperature difference between the outer wall temperature and the temperature of the material inside the furnace tube, and the measurement data cannot reflect the actual temperature of the material. In addition, the prior art mentions that the internal temperature measurement of external heating rotary furnace can adopt internal suspension type, and the furnace cover is fixed at both ends of the furnace tube to set and install fixed supports, and the thermocouple probe is extended into the furnace tube through the fixed support and hung down, so that the probe is close to the furnace tube, but this method is limited to temperature measurement when there is no material running. When there is material, the material will interfere with the temperature measuring probe. The prior art also mentions that the temperature measuring probe is inserted from the outside of the furnace tube, and is led out from the outside of the furnace tube to the normal temperature section through a high-temperature wire, and a large-sized brush is set on the outside of the furnace tube to realize the transmission of electrical signals. However, the brush size required for this method is large, the operation jump is large, and the wear is large. It can be seen that there are two problems with directly measuring the temperature inside a rotating high-temperature furnace tube: first, the temperature measurement system cannot be fixed due to the rotation of the furnace tube; second, the high temperature environment causes the temperature measurement system to fail.
