[0047] For the purpose of making the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. In addition, in the drawings, for the purpose of effectively describing the technical content, the thickness of the components can be exaggerated or reduced.

[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , at least one embodiment provides a heat exchange air box, including: a box body 1, which is arranged on the path of the waste gas of the heating grate and internally provided with a heat exchange component 2. The heat exchange component 2 is communicated with the heating furnace, and is provided with an air inlet 21 suitable for the external cold air to enter. Figure 1 In, F is the flow direction of the external cold air. After the external cold air enters the heat exchange component 2 through the air inlet 21, it exchanges heat with the hot waste gas flowing through the box body 1, and then enters the heating furnace after being heated by heat exchange. The above equipment realizes the effect of recovering the heat energy of the discharged waste gas by adding a heat exchanger with a heat exchange component 2 on the path of the waste gas of the heating grate, and uses the waste heat of the waste gas to heat the cold air flowing through the heat exchange component 2 and used for the combustion of the heating furnace, thereby greatly reducing the energy consumption.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, in order to achieve the effect of allowing the cold air to flow through the heat exchange component 2, the heat exchange component 2 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 22 arranged inside the box body 1. The heat exchange tubes 22 are orthogonally arranged with respect to the bottom surface of the box body 1. Preferably, the heat exchange tubes 22 are vertically arranged, so as to facilitate the cold air to flow from top to bottom under the influence of its own gravity, thereby improving the flow efficiency.

[0052] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the arrangement of the heat exchange tubes 22 is diverse, including but not limited to multi-row parallel arrangement, circumferential arrangement, irregular arrangement, etc. Preferably, the arrangement of each heat exchange tube 22 is multi-row distributed and uniform, specifically, it can be a majority of rows and a minority of rows. When the hot waste gas flows through the gaps between the heat exchange tubes 22, the heat exchange with the cold air inside the heat exchange tubes 22 will be more uniform, and the heat exchange effect will be better. In addition, each heat exchange tube 22 is a hollow cylinder, and the heat exchange tubes 22 in adjacent two rows (the majority of rows and the minority of rows) are arranged in a staggered manner. The above settings enable the hot waste gas to flow along the side wall of the cylinder when flowing through the gaps between the heat exchange tubes 22, with less resistance, good exhaust gas circulation effect, and the staggered arrangement between adjacent rows further enhances the sheet metal strength, and thus enhances the overall strength of the equipment.

[0053] Refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, an air inlet 3 is provided at the upper part of one side wall of the box body 1, and an air outlet 4 is provided at the lower part of the other side wall opposite to this side wall. The hot waste gas discharged from the heating furnace is adapted to enter the box body 1 from the air inlet 3 and then be discharged from the air outlet 4 to achieve the effect of the hot waste gas flowing through the inside of the box body 1. Preferably, the air inlet 3 is arranged obliquely downward to guide the hot waste gas to flow towards the bottom of the box body 1 when entering the box body 1, avoiding the hot waste gas from gathering at the top of the box body 1 after entering the box body 1 from the air inlet 3 at the upper part of the side wall, and achieving the effect of uniform distribution of the hot waste gas in the box body 1.

[0054] Refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly 2 further includes a box-shaped cover body 5 provided on the top surface of the box body 1, and the box-shaped cover body 5 and the top surface of the box body 1 form a cold air inlet cavity. In order to guide the external cold air into the inlet cavity, a blower 6 is provided on the side wall of the box-shaped cover body 5. The suction port of the blower 6 is communicated with an air inlet pipe 61, and a filter 62 is provided at one end of the air inlet pipe 61 far from the air inlet 3 of the blower 6. When the blower 6 guides the external cold air to flow through the air inlet pipe 61, the cold air will be filtered by the filter 62 first and then enter the equipment interior, avoiding the reduction of the heat exchange effect caused by the impurity pollution of the heat exchange assembly 2.

[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, an air outlet hood 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 1. One end of the heat exchange tube 22 is communicated with the cold air inlet of the heating furnace through the air outlet hood 7. When the cold air is discharged from the heat exchange tube 22 after heat exchange with the hot waste gas, it will first gather in the air outlet hood 7 to complete the heat energy exchange between the cold air, making the heat energy of the gathered cold air uniform, that is, achieving the effect of recovering uniform heat energy.

[0056] Refer to Figure 3, in at least one embodiment, a combustion tower is further provided, comprising: the heat exchange air box as described above. In addition, the combustion tower further comprises a combustion chamber 8 and a condenser 9. The air inlet of the combustion chamber 8 is communicated with the waste gas outlet of the heating furnace, the exhaust port of the combustion chamber 8 is communicated with the air inlet 3 of the heat exchange air box, and the combustion chamber 8 is adapted to burn and decompose the waste gas. The condenser 9 is communicated with the air outlet 4 of the heat exchange air box and is adapted to discharge the hot waste gas after reducing its temperature. The above-mentioned heat exchange air box cooperates with the combustion chamber 8 and the condenser 9 to form a complete waste gas discharge path. It is also worth mentioning that an even number of horizontal partitions are arranged in the combustion chamber 8. Preferably, the number of the horizontal partitions is two, so as to divide the combustion chamber 8 into three combustion cavities. Each horizontal partition is provided with a ventilation port, the ventilation port is located at the end of the partition, and the ventilation ports of adjacent partitions are not at the same end, so as to enable the waste gas to flow in an S-shaped manner along the partition in the combustion chamber 8, and further enable the exhaust port of the combustion chamber 8 to be located above to correspond to the upper air inlet 3. The setting of the above components enables the waste gas to completely pass through all the combustion spaces in the combustion chamber 8, stay in the combustion chamber 8 for a longer time, and burn more fully.

[0057] Refer to Figure 3 , in at least one embodiment, a sintering furnace device is further provided, comprising: the combustion tower as described above. In addition, the sintering furnace device further comprises a heating furnace. The heating methods of the heating furnace include but are not limited to gas heating, electric heating, radiation heating, etc. The combustion tower is arranged on the waste gas discharge path of the heating furnace, and the combustion tower is located above the heating furnace to achieve the effect of connecting the heat exchange component 2 with the heating furnace, and further achieve the effect of heat energy recovery.

[0058] Refer to Figure 3 , in at least one embodiment, a sintering furnace device is further provided, comprising: a heating furnace; and the above-mentioned heat exchange air box arranged on the waste gas discharge path of the heating furnace.
