The damper is manually rotated by a threaded rod, causing it to rotate and shift relative to the vertical surface of the flue to control the flue opening. This device is not suitable for adjusting the opening of a vertical flue, and if the flue is high, the user must climb to the top of the flue to adjust the opening, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] A technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is that it is not applicable to the adjustment of the opening of a vertically arranged flue, and when the flue is high, it is necessary to climb to the top of the flue for adjustment, which poses a safety hazard.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a kiln flue adjustment device, comprising:
[0006] A flue, the flue having a top opening and vertically connected to the top of the kiln;
[0007] A gate plate, which is arranged at the top of the flue to cover the top opening of the flue, and can be controlled to move horizontally at the top of the flue to adjust the opening of the top opening of the flue; and a control mechanism, which is transmission-connected to the gate plate and is used to control the horizontal movement of the gate plate.
[0008] In some embodiments, one end of the gate extends out of the flue shape to become an extended end, and the gate can move back and forth horizontally along the extended direction. The control mechanism includes a connecting rod and a driving member. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the bottom of the extended end, and the other end is connected to the driving member.

[0009] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a driving unit, a guide rod and a moving block. The moving block is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod and is mounted on the guide rod. The guide rod is placed horizontally. The driving unit drives the moving block to move back and forth along the length direction of the guide rod to drive the connecting rod to move horizontally.
[0010] In some embodiments, the guide rod is a screw rod, the moving block is threadedly connected to the screw rod, and the driving unit drives the screw rod to rotate to drive the moving block to reciprocate along the length direction of the screw rod.
[0011] In some embodiments, the driving unit includes a manual rotating valve and a bearing. The manual rotating valve is connected to an end of the screw away from the flue through the bearing and can rotate in a vertical plane.
[0012] In some embodiments, the control mechanism also includes a precision adjustment part, which includes a precision pointer and a precision ruler. The precision pointer is connected to the lower end of the moving block and points to the side away from the connecting rod. The precision ruler is arranged below the precision pointer and has scales in the length direction. The precision ruler is placed horizontally, and the precision pointer moves along the length direction of the precision ruler as the moving block moves.
[0013] In some embodiments, the gate is connected to the connecting rod via a fixing member.
[0014] In some embodiments, the fixing member includes a fixing groove, a fixing locking sleeve and a fixing screw. The top of the protruding end is recessed inward to form a fixing groove.

The fixing screw passes through the fixing locking sleeve and the gate plate in sequence to fix the fixing locking sleeve on the gate plate.
[0015] In some embodiments, the gate plate is also provided with an auxiliary moving mechanism, which includes an auxiliary moving guide rail and an auxiliary moving bracket. The two adjacent ends of the gate plate adjacent to the protruding end both protrude out of the flue. The auxiliary moving guide rail is a U-shaped track, which is respectively arranged outside the two adjacent ends along the moving direction of the gate plate. The gate plate is slidably connected to the auxiliary moving guide rail, and an auxiliary moving bracket is provided under the auxiliary moving guide rail to support it on the kiln.
[0016] In some embodiments, the side of the flue away from the protruding end extends upward to form an extended end, which extends out of the gate. When the gate is placed on the top of the flue, it is close to the inner wall of the extended end and can move away from the extended end.
[0017] In some embodiments, the control mechanism further includes a support frame for supporting the driving member on the top of the kiln.

[0030] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0031] In order to solve the problem that the kiln flue adjustment device of the prior art cannot be applied to the adjustment of the opening of a vertical flue, and when the flue is high, it is necessary to climb up to the top of the flue to adjust it, which poses a safety hazard, the present invention provides a kiln flue adjustment device, such as Figure 1As shown, the kiln flue adjustment device includes: a flue 2, which has a top opening and is vertically connected to the top of the kiln; a gate 1, which is set at the top of the flue 2 and covers the top opening of the flue 2. The gate 1 can be controlled to move horizontally at the top of the flue 2 to form openings of different sizes with the flue 2 to adjust the opening of the top opening of the flue 2; and a control mechanism, which is transmission-connected to the gate 1 and is used to control the horizontal movement of the gate 1. By controlling the amplitude of the horizontal movement of the gate 1, openings of different sizes are formed to control the opening of the flue. The control mechanism remotely controls the movement of the gate 1, and there is no need to climb to the top of the flue 2 to adjust the opening of the flue 2. Through the above technical solution, the opening of the vertically arranged flue can be adjusted without climbing to the top of the flue to make adjustments, avoiding the manual safety hazards caused by climbing.
[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the gate 1 extends out of the flue 2 to form an extension end 101. The gate 1 can move horizontally back and forth along the extension direction to form openings of different sizes at the top of the flue 2, thereby adjusting the opening of the flue 2. The control mechanism includes a connecting rod 11 and a driving member. One end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the bottom of the extension end 101, and the other end is connected to the driving member. The driving member is set at the top of the kiln and drives the connecting rod 11 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the gate 1 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. The movement of the connecting rod 11 drives the gate 1 to move to adjust the opening of the flue 2, avoiding injuries caused by direct manual contact with the high-temperature gate 1 and safety hazards caused by climbing, and realizing remote adjustment of the opening of the flue 2.
[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the driving member includes a driving unit, a guide rod and a moving block 9. The moving block 9 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 11 and is sleeved on the guide rod. The guide rod is placed horizontally, and the length direction of the guide rod is parallel to the moving direction of the gate 1. The driving unit drives the moving block 9 to move back and forth along the length direction of the guide rod, driving the connecting rod 11 and the gate 1 to move synchronously, so that the gate 1 moves in the horizontal direction, forming openings of different sizes at the top of the flue 2 to adjust the opening of the flue 2.
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the guide rod is a screw rod 7, and the moving block 9 is provided with a thread that matches the screw rod 7 and is threadedly connected to the screw rod 7. The driving unit drives the screw rod 7 to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby causing the moving block 9 to reciprocate along the length direction of the screw rod 7, driving the connecting rod 11 and the gate plate 1 to move synchronously. The guide rod can also be set as a slide rod, and the moving block 9 is slidably connected to the slide rod. The driving unit drives the moving block 9 to reciprocate along the length direction of the slide rod, driving the connecting rod 11 and the gate plate 1 to move synchronously.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit includes a manual rotary valve 6 and a bearing 8. The manual rotary valve 6 is connected to the end of the screw 7 away from the flue 2 via the bearing 8 and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in a vertical plane, thereby causing the screw 7 to rotate synchronously. The drive unit can also be configured as a motor, with the motor output end connected to the end of the screw 7 away from the flue 2, and the motor driving the screw 7 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the guide rod is a slide rod, the drive unit is configured as a cylinder, the cylinder output end is connected to the moving block 9, and drives the moving block 9 to reciprocate along the length of the slide rod.
[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, in order to make the opening adjustment of the flue 2 more precise, the control mechanism also includes a precision adjustment part. The precision adjustment part includes a precision pointer 15 and a precision ruler 16. The precision pointer 15 is connected to the lower end of the moving block 9. The precision pointer 15 points to the side away from the connecting rod 11. The precision ruler 16 is located below the precision pointer 15 and has a scale along the length direction. The precision ruler 16 is placed horizontally, and the length direction is the same as the movement direction of the gate 1. The precision pointer 15 moves along the length direction of the precision ruler 16 as the moving block 9 moves, thereby displaying the size of the movement amplitude of the gate 1, and can further infer the size of the flue 2 opening. Therefore, it can be used as a reference data to remotely control the opening of the flue 2, thereby improving the control accuracy of the control mechanism. Of course, the precision adjustment part is not only set below the moving block 9, but can also be set on the screw 7. A small part of the screw 7 is cut off along the length direction, and most of the thread is retained so that the moving block 9 can be threadedly connected to the screw 7 and move back and forth in the length direction on the screw 7. Scales are provided on the cross section of the screw 7 along the length direction, and the control accuracy of the control mechanism is improved by moving the moving block 9 to different scales on the screw 7 .
[0037] In some embodiments, the gate plate 1 is connected to the connecting rod 11 through a fixing member, so that the connection between the gate plate 1 and the connecting rod 11 is more stable.
[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member includes a fixing groove 14, a fixing locking sleeve 12, and a fixing screw 13. The top of the protruding end 101 of the gate plate 1 is recessed inward, and a fixing groove 14 is formed on the top of the gate plate 1, parallel to the length of the protruding end 101. The fixing locking sleeve 12 is a U-shaped locking sleeve connected to the top of the connecting rod 11 and is mounted outside the protruding end 101. One end of the fixing locking sleeve 12 is embedded in the fixing groove 14, and the other end extends outward to the bottom of the protruding end 101. Figure 1The fixing screws 13 pass through the fixed locking sleeve 12 and the top of the gate plate 1 in sequence to fix the fixed locking sleeve 12 to the gate plate 1. Of course, fixing screws 13 can also be provided on the side and bottom surfaces of the protruding end 101 to fix the fixed locking sleeve 12 to the gate plate 1. The lower end of the fixed locking sleeve 12 is welded to the connecting rod 11. Other fixing parts can also be used, such as providing a connecting plate between the top surface of the connecting rod 11 and the bottom surface of the protruding end 101: the connecting plate has an area larger than the top surface of the connecting rod 11, completely covers the top surface of the connecting rod 11, and is fixed to the top surface of the connecting rod 11 by bolts. The portion of the connecting plate that extends beyond the connecting rod 11 is then fixed to the bottom surface of the protruding end 101 by bolts.
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the gate 1 is also equipped with an auxiliary movement mechanism, which includes an auxiliary movement guide rail 18 and an auxiliary movement bracket 17. The two adjacent ends of the gate 1 adjacent to the extended end 101 both extend outside the flue 2. The auxiliary movement guide rail 18 is a U-shaped track, which is respectively mounted outside the two adjacent ends along the movement direction of the gate 1. The gate 1 is slidably connected to the auxiliary movement guide rail 18. During movement, the gate 1 slides along the length of the auxiliary movement guide rail 18, reducing the resistance to the movement of the gate 1. An auxiliary movement bracket 17 is also provided below the auxiliary movement guide rail 18. The auxiliary movement bracket 17 is set at the top of the kiln and is used to fix and support the auxiliary movement guide rail 18.
[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the side of the flue 2 away from the protruding end 101 extends upward to form an extended end 201, which is higher than the damper 1. When placed on top of the flue 2, the damper 1 is closely attached to the inner wall of the extended end 201 and can move away from the extended end 201. When the damper 1 moves, an opening is formed, through which smoke is discharged, and the direction of smoke discharge is controlled by the extended end 201. The extended end 201 can also be arranged adjacent to the protruding end 101, and the direction of smoke discharge can be controlled by setting the extended end 201 in different directions.
[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the control mechanism also includes a support frame that supports the drive member on the top of the kiln. The support frame includes a base 3, a vertical support 4 and a horizontal support 5. The base 3 is horizontally arranged on the top of the kiln, and the vertical support 4 is vertically arranged on the base 3 and is arranged at both ends of the drive member to support the drive member at a suitable height to facilitate manual rotation of the manual rotary valve 6. One end of the drive member is connected to the vertical support 4 through a bearing 8, and the other end is fixed to the vertical support 4 through a positioning member 10. The positioning member 10 is a positioning bar arranged on the vertical support 4, which is arranged around the end of the screw 7 and fixed to the vertical support 4, thereby fixing the end of the screw 7 close to the flue 2 on the vertical support 4. When the screw 7 rotates, the end rotates in the positioning member 10. The vertical support 4 close to the flue 2 separates the entire drive member from the flue 2, preventing the drive member from directly contacting the high-temperature flue 2, protecting the drive member, and also avoiding the drive member from causing damage to the flue 2, thereby extending the service life of the flue 2. In order to maintain the stability of the support frame, as Figure 1 As shown, between the two ends of the vertical support 4, a plurality of horizontal supports 5 are also provided in the horizontal direction. Figure 1 As shown, the precision ruler 16 is also arranged on the horizontal support 5, which supports and fixes the precision ruler 16. The auxiliary movable support 17 is also vertically arranged on the base 3, which supports and fixes the auxiliary movable support 17.
