[0002] In the field of mold temperature controller technology, traditional mold temperature controllers typically use gas combustion to heat an organic carrier (thermal oil) to provide heat energy.

[0003] While existing mold temperature controllers can meet heating process requirements to a certain extent, they still need to be improved in terms of energy efficiency, operating costs, production efficiency, and product quality. In particular, traditional mold temperature controllers often lack effective heat recovery mechanisms, resulting in a large amount of heat energy being lost with flue gas emissions. This not only reduces the overall thermal efficiency of the system but also limits further improvements in production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The utility model provides a mold temperature controller for an air preheater, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the furnace body 1 includes a heat exchange coil 2 disposed within the furnace body 1. A burner 5 is mounted at one end of the furnace body 1. The heat exchange coil 2 comprises an inner coil and an outer coil, which form two return flues within the furnace body 1. An oil outlet pipe 22 is connected to the top of one end of the heat exchange coil 2, and an oil return pipe 21 is connected to the side of the other end of the heat exchange coil 2. An air preheater 3 is mounted on the top of the furnace body 1, and a smoke outlet pipe 4 is connected to the top of one end of the air preheater 3. The heat exchange coil 2 disposed within the furnace body 1, comprising an inner coil and an outer coil, forms two return flues within the furnace body 1. This design allows for sufficient heat exchange between the flue gases within the furnace body, effectively transferring the heat energy of the fuel to the thermal oil, thereby improving heat energy conversion efficiency. The oil outlet pipe 22 is connected to the top of one end of the heat exchange coil 2, and the oil return pipe 21 is connected to the side of the other end. This layout ensures a stable circulation of thermal oil within the heat exchange coil 2, allowing heat to be evenly and efficiently transferred to the heat-consuming equipment, improving the heating effect of the mold temperature controller. An air preheater 3 is installed on the top of the furnace body 1, utilizing waste heat from the exhaust gas to preheat the combustion air. This design not only lowers the exhaust gas temperature and reduces heat loss, but also improves combustion efficiency, further enhancing the energy efficiency of the mold temperature controller.
[0022] In this embodiment, a base 11 is installed at the bottom of the furnace body 1 to ensure that the bottom support of the furnace body 1 is stable.
[0023] Specifically, a fire extinguishing port 12 is provided at one end of the furnace body 1, and a fire viewing port 13 is provided at the other end for convenient observation of the internal combustion conditions.
[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 33 are horizontally installed inside the air preheater 3, and a partition 36 is horizontally installed in the middle of the air preheater 3. An opening is provided between one end of the partition 36 and the air preheater 3. A smoke inlet bin 34 and a smoke outlet bin 35 are provided at the end of the air preheater 3 away from the opening. The partition 36 divides the plurality of heat exchange tubes 33 into two parts, the smoke inlet bin 34 is connected to the lower heat exchange tube 33, and the smoke outlet bin 35 is connected to the upper heat exchange tube 33. The bottom of the air preheater 3 is connected to the hot air outlet 32, the top of the air preheater 3 is connected to the blast port 31, the top of the smoke outlet bin 35 is connected to the smoke outlet pipe 4, and the bottom end of the smoke inlet bin 34 is connected to the flue outlet end of the furnace body 1. The heat of the flue gas after heat exchange is further utilized through the air preheater 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom end of the hot air outlet 32 is connected to the air inlet of the burner 5 through the hot air pipe 6, so that the preheated air can be added to the burner 5 to quickly increase the combustion temperature.
[0026] Furthermore, an electric control box 7 is installed on the top of the furnace body 1 for performing electric control operations of the furnace body 1 .
[0027] Furthermore, a circulation pump 8 is installed on the top of the furnace body 1. The input end of the circulation pump 8 is connected to the circulation pump inlet 81, the output end of the circulation pump 8 is connected to the circulation pump outlet 82, and one end of the circulation pump 8 is connected to the circulation pump interface 83. The outer end of the circulation pump interface 83 is connected to the return oil pipe 21 through a pipeline. The operation of the circulation pump 8 allows the heat transfer oil to absorb heat from the furnace body 1 through the heat exchange coil 2 and enter the heat-using equipment. After being consumed by the heat-using equipment, it re-enters the circulation pump 8 through the circulation pump inlet 81 and is then output from the circulation pump outlet 82 and returned to the heat-using equipment through the pipeline, thereby achieving continuous circulation of the heat transfer oil. After multiple cycles, the heat transfer oil flows back from the circulation pump interface 83 to the furnace body 1 for heating. This cycle repeats, achieving continuous heat transfer. The circulation of the heat transfer oil allows heat to be transferred to the heat-using equipment more evenly, improves the heat transfer efficiency, and ensures that the heat-using equipment can obtain a stable and continuous heat energy supply.
[0028] When the mold temperature controller of the air preheater of the present invention is in use, burner 5 first ignites fuel at one end of furnace body 1, generating high-temperature flue gas. This flue gas flows within furnace body 1 and undergoes heat exchange through heat exchange coil 2. Heat exchange coil 2, consisting of an inner coil and an outer coil, forms two return flue ducts within furnace body 1, allowing the flue gas to undergo sufficient heat exchange within the furnace body. During this process, thermal oil enters heat exchange coil 2 through return oil pipe 21 and absorbs heat from the flue gas, thereby transferring thermal energy. After absorbing heat, the thermal oil is discharged through oil outlet pipe 22 to heat-using equipment for heat utilization.
[0029] The heated thermal oil then flows out of the heat exchange coil 2 through the oil return pipe 21 and into the heat-consuming equipment for heating. Simultaneously, the circulating pump 8 begins operating, drawing the thermal oil from the heat-consuming equipment through the circulating pump inlet 81 and discharging it through the circulating pump outlet 82, returning it to the heat-consuming equipment through the pipeline, thus achieving continuous circulation of the thermal oil. After multiple cycles, the thermal oil flows back into the furnace body 1 through the circulating pump interface 83 for further heating. This cycle repeats, achieving continuous and stable heat transfer.
[0030] Furthermore, an air preheater 3 mounted on top of the furnace body 1 utilizes waste heat from the exhaust gas to preheat the combustion air. Exhaust gas enters the air preheater 3 through a smoke inlet hopper 34 and undergoes heat exchange through a number of heat exchange tubes 33. The utilized exhaust gas is then discharged through a smoke outlet hopper 35 and a smoke outlet pipe 4, reducing the exhaust gas temperature. Furthermore, the preheated air is connected to the air inlet of the burner 5 via a hot air duct 6, improving combustion efficiency.
[0031] During the entire operation, the bottom base 11 of the furnace body 1 provides stable support, while the fire extinguishing port 12 and the fire viewing port 13 facilitate observation and operation of the combustion situation inside the furnace body 1. The electric control box 7 is used to perform electric control operations of the furnace body 1 to achieve automatic control.

Their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.
