Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of box-type furnace equipment processing, in particular to an atmosphere box structure for a box-type furnace. Background Art

[0002] Agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw, wood chips, and rice husks) is an abundant renewable resource and a key raw material for biochar production. Biochar is typically prepared by carbonizing the biomass in an oxygen-free or oxygen-depleted atmosphere, typically at temperatures below 1000°C. Therefore, biochar processing often requires carbonization equipment with good sealing properties.

[0003] A box furnace is a heating furnace with a box-shaped chamber. It heats the material within the furnace using heating elements within the chamber. Within the scope of mechanical processing, it is defined as a type of muffle furnace. Box furnaces are categorized as conventional box furnaces and vacuum furnaces. Conventional box furnaces are unsealed, with the chamber open to the atmosphere, and cannot achieve an oxygen-free or low-oxygen atmosphere. Vacuum furnaces, on the other hand, have a completely sealed chamber that can be vacuumed by evacuating air. Comparing the two types of box furnaces, vacuum furnaces typically cost several times more than conventional ones. Currently, biochar producers often choose more expensive vacuum furnaces. If a conventional box furnace could be converted to one capable of achieving an oxygen-free or low-oxygen atmosphere at a lower cost, the production cost of biochar would be significantly reduced. In light of this, in-depth research into the aforementioned issues led to this case. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that ordinary box furnaces cannot obtain an oxygen-free or low-oxygen atmosphere environment, and provide a design scheme of an atmosphere box for a box furnace to provide the required specific atmosphere environment for the material heating process, save gas costs, and solve the existing background technical problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] 1. An atmosphere box for a box-type furnace, comprising an air inlet, a box body, a door panel slot and a door panel. A circular steel bar is welded to the opening. The box body is composed of trapezoidal steel plates on both sides and three rectangular steel plates on the top, bottom and back. The door panel is embedded in the door panel slot. The overall structure has good sealing performance and can be placed in a box-type furnace for heating and retain the atmosphere after ventilation.

[0007] 2. Preferably, the entire structure including the door panels is made of 310S or higher hardness steel, and the steel itself can withstand high temperatures above 1100°C.

[0008] 3. Preferably, in order to maintain airtightness, a circle of asbestos is attached to the box opening, and the door panel is obliquely blocked at the box opening at an angle less than 85°.

[0009] 4. Preferably, in order to ensure the specific atmosphere conditions required for the materials, the box furnace needs to have an air inlet connected to the gas cylinder and the atmosphere box air inlet, and the gas cylinder is transported by a rubber tube.

[0010] Beneficial Effects: By adding an atmosphere box to a box-type furnace, this utility model provides the required atmosphere for heating materials, avoiding the adverse effects of air. The atmosphere box has a simple manufacturing process and structure, uses inexpensive materials, and can withstand high temperatures while making rational use of the internal space of the box-type furnace. Its good airtightness significantly saves the gas required for material heating, making it convenient for sample introduction and sampling, and also reducing the overall cost of retrofitting existing box-type furnaces, making it suitable for widespread use.
