Detailed Embodiments

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further specifically described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings.

[0021] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the energy-saving and environmentally friendly annealing furnace for stainless steel pipes includes an annealing furnace main body, a feeding rack and a discharge rack respectively arranged at both ends of the annealing furnace main body. The discharge rack is composed of multiple sections of frame bodies 1;

[0022] The top of each said frame body 1 has an arc-shaped groove 2 corresponding to the stainless steel pipe 10. Each said frame body 1 is provided with a heat exchange channel 3. The end of the heat exchange channel 3 is provided with a water inlet interface 4 and a water outlet interface 5. On both sides of the discharge rack, a water inlet manifold 6 and a water outlet manifold 7 are respectively provided. Each said water inlet interface 4 is connected to the water inlet manifold 6 through a connecting pipe, and each said water outlet interface 5 is connected to the water outlet manifold 7 through a connecting pipe;

[0023] In the middle of each said frame body 1, a first driving wheel set 8 for driving the stainless steel pipe 10 to rotate self is further provided. On the discharge rack between each said frame body 1, a second driving wheel set 9 for driving the stainless steel pipe 10 to move forward is further provided.

[0024] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: The high-temperature stainless steel pipe 10 is output from the annealing furnace main body to the discharge rack. First, it moves forward under the drive of the second driving wheel set 9 until the whole stainless steel pipe 10 is placed on the discharge rack. Then each first driving wheel starts to drive the stainless steel pipe 10 to rotate slowly. During the rotation of the stainless steel pipe 10, it continuously exchanges heat with the water in the heat exchange channels 3 between the frame bodies 1. On the one hand, it can improve the cooling speed of the stainless steel pipe 10. On the other hand, the heated water is output from the water outlet interface 5 and the water outlet manifold 7 to a steam boiler or other equipment that requires hot water, making full use of the waste heat of the annealed stainless steel pipe 10 and the water for cooling, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. In addition, the above structure also has the advantages of reasonable and compact layout, and will not occupy too much additional factory building space.

[0025] Preferably, the discharge rack is composed of four frame bodies 1.

[0026] In another embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, a plurality of convex ribs 11 are further provided along the length direction of the arc-shaped groove 2 of the frame body 1 to increase the contact area between the frame body 1 and the stainless steel pipe 10 and reduce the friction between the stainless steel pipe 10 and the frame body 1 when it moves forward or rotates self.

[0027] In another embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the cross section of the convex rib 11 is trapezoidal.

[0028] In another embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a partition plate 12 is further provided in the middle of the heat exchange channel 3. The partition plate 12 divides the heat exchange channel 3 into a "U"-shaped channel. The partition plate 12 not only plays a role in separation, but also plays a role in supporting the top of the frame body 1 to ensure the reliability of the structure of the frame body 1.

[0029] In another embodiment, the top wall of the heat exchange channel 3 is an arc-shaped wall corresponding to the arc-shaped groove 2. A plurality of convex strips 13 extending along the length direction of the heat exchange channel 3 are further provided on the top wall of the heat exchange channel 3 to further increase the heat exchange area at the top wall of the heat exchange channel 3.

The middle part of the driving wheel 14 has a concave gear ring 16. The gear ring 16 is connected to a driving gear 18 through a transmission gear 17. The driving gear 18 is fixed on the output shaft of the reduction motor. The driving wheel 14 and the auxiliary wheel 15 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame body 1. The driving wheel 14 abuts against one side of the stainless steel pipe 10 to drive its self-rotation, and the auxiliary wheel 15 abuts against the other side of the stainless steel pipe 10 to prevent it from slipping out.

The connecting shaft is arranged between two frame bodies 1 through two pairs of support frames. One end of the connecting shaft is further connected with a driving motor. The driving wheel main body rotates along the axial direction of the stainless steel pipe 10.

[0034] In another embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, both sides of the upper end of the frame body 1 respectively have inclined planes.
