Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial kilns, and particularly relates to an industrial kiln with a structure for reducing microwave loss. Background Art

[0002] The unreasonable design of the internal materials and structure of the kiln can easily cause microwaves to be reflected during transmission, fail to be fully absorbed and utilized, resulting in energy waste. This reflection phenomenon is usually due to the high reflectivity of the inner wall material of the kiln to microwaves, or the irregular microwave path caused by the internal shape design of the kiln. Secondly, uneven absorption is also a significant drawback. The materials in the microwave high-temperature kiln are unevenly distributed in the microwave field, or there are large differences in the dielectric properties of the materials themselves, which will lead to uneven absorption of microwave energy, thereby affecting the heating effect of the kiln and the quality consistency of the products. This problem is mainly caused by improper material selection and unreasonable internal structure design of the kiln. Finally, microwave leakage is also a problem that cannot be ignored. During the transmission of microwaves, if the kiln has poor sealing performance or there are defects in the waveguide system, it will cause microwave energy leakage, which not only wastes energy but may also cause electromagnetic interference to the operating environment. This situation is usually caused by the loose sealing design of the kiln or the unreasonable design of the waveguide pipeline.

[0003] Conventional countermeasures include optimizing the kiln design, selecting suitable materials, and improving the sealing system. For example, by using low-reflectivity materials and optimizing the inner wall shape of the kiln, microwave reflection can be effectively reduced; by reasonably selecting and arranging microwave-absorbing materials and optimizing the dielectric properties and distribution of the materials, the problem of uneven microwave absorption can be improved; by improving the kiln sealing design, using high-quality sealing materials and optimizing the waveguide system, microwave leakage can be effectively prevented. However, these methods also have certain drawbacks. Although optimizing the kiln design and selecting suitable materials can reduce microwave loss, it will increase the initial construction cost and material cost; although improving the sealing system and waveguide system can effectively prevent microwave leakage, it also requires additional equipment investment and maintenance costs, and the long-term stability and reliability of the sealing system need to be continuously monitored and maintained; in addition, reasonably selecting and arranging microwave-absorbing materials requires professional technical support and precise design schemes, increasing the complexity of design and operation. Therefore, we hope to design an industrial kiln with a new structure to solve this problem. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an industrial kiln with a structure for reducing microwave loss, and solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] The present utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: An industrial furnace with a structure for reducing microwave loss, comprising: a furnace body and a microwave heating assembly. A plurality of equally spaced microwave heating assemblies are installed at the rear side of the furnace body. The furnace body includes a furnace shell, a first thermal insulation layer, and a reinforcing sleeve;

[0006] A first thermal insulation layer is arranged inside the furnace shell. The inner wall of the first thermal insulation layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reinforcing sleeve. A reflection layer is arranged on the inner wall of the reinforcing sleeve. The inner part of the reflection layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second thermal insulation layer;

[0007] The microwave heating assembly includes a magnetron and a waveguide. The lower side of the magnetron is fixedly connected to the outer end of the waveguide.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the materials of the first thermal insulation layer and the second thermal insulation layer are the same. The cross-section of the left end of the reinforcing sleeve is arranged in a flared structure. The left end of the reinforcing sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner end of the waveguide. In actual use, a ceramic fiber layer can be used, but it is not limited to this one thermal insulation material. Other suitable materials can be selected as the thermal insulation material according to needs and budget.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a flared reflection part is arranged at the left end of the reflection layer, and a semi-circular reflection part is arranged at the right end of the reflection layer. The flared reflection part fits with the inner wall of the left end of the reinforcing sleeve, and the structure of the flared reflection part is the same as that of the left end of the reinforcing sleeve. The setting of the reflection layer can reflect the microwaves reflected by the second thermal insulation layer and the furnace chamber, avoiding energy waste caused by a large amount of microwaves being reflected without playing a heating role.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the semi-circular reflection part fits with the inner wall of the right end of the reinforcing sleeve. The cross-section of the semi-circular reflection part is in a semi-circular structure, and the structure of the semi-circular reflection part is the same as that of the left end of the reinforcing sleeve.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the reflection layer is a kind of graphite foil. The left end of the flared reflection part is hermetically connected to the edge of the inner end of the waveguide.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a fitting part is arranged at the left end of the second thermal insulation layer. A furnace chamber is arranged inside the second thermal insulation layer. A flared wall is arranged at the left end of the furnace chamber. The structures of the fitting part and the flared wall are the same as the structure of the flared reflection part. A conveying roller frame is arranged inside the furnace chamber.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By arranging a reinforcing sleeve inside the kiln body, and the reinforcing sleeve is placed between the first heat-insulating layer and the second heat-insulating layer, it can support the first heat-insulating layer and the second heat-insulating layer, and at the same time facilitate the installation of the reflective layer to maintain its predetermined shape. Furthermore, it can enhance the reflection of the microwaves reflected by the second heat-insulating layer and the furnace chamber, making them irradiate the second heat-insulating layer and the furnace chamber again, effectively reducing energy waste and minimizing microwave loss.

[0014] By setting the left ends of the reinforcing sleeve, the reflective layer, the second heat-insulating layer, and the furnace chamber into a structure similar to a flared opening, after the microwaves enter the inside of the reflective layer, the microwave radiation surface is enlarged, enabling the microwaves to disperse and move evenly towards the second heat-insulating layer and the furnace chamber. Thus, the purpose of uniformly heating the products inside the furnace chamber can be achieved. And by setting the right ends of the reinforcing sleeve and the reflective layer into a semi-circular structure, it can evenly disperse and reflect the microwaves reaching the right end position of the reflective layer to the right ends of the second heat-insulating layer and the furnace chamber, while reducing microwave loss and enhancing the uniformity of microwave heating.
