Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a rotary hot air kiln, belonging to the technical field of material heating equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, there are usually two types of hot air kilns. One is a direct heating type hot air kiln, and the other is an indirect heating type hot air kiln.

[0003] For the direct heating type rotary hot air kiln, the hot air is in direct contact with the material to be heated, and heat exchange is carried out through direct contact between the hot air and the surface of the material, so as to remove the moisture of the material or change the physical or chemical properties of the material. Since the hot air is in direct contact with the material, the heat energy consumption is small; however, after the hot air contacts the material, subsequent treatment of the discharged tail gas is required, so a supporting tail gas treatment device is needed, and the investment cost is high.

[0004] For the indirect heating type rotary hot air kiln, the hot air is in indirect contact with the material to be heated, and after the hot air heats the heated surface, the heated surface contacts the surface of the material for heat exchange, so as to remove the moisture of the material or change the physical or chemical properties of the material. Its advantage is that it avoids the pollution of the material by the hot air, and the investment cost of the subsequent tail gas treatment device is low. Limited by the small area of the heated surface, it has the disadvantages of high heat energy consumption, and the equipment size specification is relatively large, and the floor area is large. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rotary hot air kiln, which combines the advantages of the direct heating type rotary hot air kiln and the indirect heating type rotary hot air kiln in the prior art, and has a large heat exchange area, a small equipment specification size and a small floor area under the same processing capacity.

[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a rotary hot air kiln, which comprises a base and a cylindrical body with a horizontal structure. The cylindrical body is rotationally assembled on the base through a support system. One end of the cylindrical body is connected with a feed box, and the other end is connected with a discharge box. The two ends of the cylindrical body are rotationally matched with the feed box and the discharge box respectively. An air inlet box is fixedly connected outside the feed box, and a hot air inlet is arranged on the air inlet box. An air outlet box is fixedly connected outside the discharge box, and a hot air outlet is arranged on the air outlet box. A refractory heat insulation layer is arranged outside the air inlet box. Heat exchange tubes are arranged inside the cylindrical body. One end of the heat exchange tube is communicated with the inside of the air inlet box, and the other end is communicated with the inside of the air outlet box.

[0007] The air inlet box is an annular structure arranged on the outer periphery of the feed box, the air outlet box is an annular structure arranged on the outer periphery of the discharge box, and sealing components are arranged between the air inlet box and the air outlet box and the cylindrical body respectively.

[0008] The diameters of the feed box and the discharge box are both smaller than the diameter of the cylinder body. The heat exchange tubes are distributed in a circumferential direction close to the inner wall surface of the cylinder body in the form of an annular array. The heat exchange tubes extend along the axial direction of the cylinder body. One end of the heat exchange tube is inserted into the air inlet box, and the other end is inserted into the air outlet box.

[0009] A vertically arranged discharge cylinder is connected to the end of the air outlet box. The air outlet is located at the bottom of the discharge cylinder and is arranged downward on the discharge cylinder.

[0010] A volatile matter outlet is provided at the top of the discharge cylinder.

[0011] A carrier gas port is provided on the feed box.

[0013] The hot air inlet is arranged at the lower part of the air inlet box, and the hot air outlet is arranged at the top of the air outlet box.

[0014] The cylinder body is arranged to incline downward from the feed direction to the discharge direction, and the inclination is less than 10°.

[0015] A refractory heat insulation layer is provided outside the air outlet box, or the air outlet box is made of heat-resistant steel material.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: When the present utility model operates, the cylinder body rotates driven by the transmission mechanism. The high-temperature gas enters the air inlet box from the hot air inlet, and then is discharged into the air outlet box by the heating tubes and discharged from the hot air outlet. The material enters the cylinder body from the feed box and exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas in the heat exchange tubes in the cylinder body. The high-temperature gas heats or roasts the material through the heat exchange tubes. After the material is heated or roasted, it enters the discharge box and is discharged from the discharge port. The rotary hot air kiln of the present utility model is an indirect heating type device, which can avoid the pollution of the hot air to the material, and the investment cost of the subsequent tail gas treatment device is low; by exchanging heat between multiple heat exchange tubes and the material, the heat exchange area can be increased, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved, and the floor area of the device can be reduced.

[0017] Preferably, both the air inlet box and the air outlet box adopt an annular structure, which is convenient for the heating tubes to pass through the cylinder body and then be communicated with the air inlet box and the air outlet box at both ends respectively.

[0018] Preferably, an air inlet is provided on the feed box, and carrier gas can be introduced into the carrier gas port as needed. The carrier gas can take away the volatile matter of the material from the inside of the rotary kiln and finally be discharged from the volatile matter outlet at the top of the discharge cylinder.

[0019] Preferably, a chute pipe is provided at the feed inlet of the feed box, which can realize the smooth entry of the material from the upstream equipment into the cylinder body.

[0020] Preferably, the cylinder body is inclined to give the hot air kiln a certain slope. As the cylinder body rotates, the material moves from the feeding end to the discharging end, so that the heated or roasted material can be smoothly discharged from the discharging port.

[0021] Preferably, since the temperature of the high-temperature gas will decrease after heat exchange with the material, the working temperature of the air outlet box is lower than that of the air inlet box, and the material selection or refractory heat insulation layer can be set according to the actual working temperature.
