[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the utility model provides a folding door for a multi-layer tunnel furnace, comprising an upper door body 1, a lower door body 2, a hydraulic rod 3 and a support assembly 4. The first end of the upper door body 1 is hinged to the side wall of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9, and the second end is hinged to the lower door body 2. The two ends of the hydraulic rod 3 are hinged with mounting ears 5, and the mounting ears 5 are respectively connected to the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 and the upper door body 1. The support assembly 4 is respectively hinged to the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 and the lower door body 2.
[0026] The multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 is generally a rectangular structure with two end faces, a top face, a bottom face and two side faces. The frame constitutes the main skeleton of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9. The top face, bottom face and side faces are formed by splicing and welding stainless steel plates, thereby forming the shell structure of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9. The two end faces of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 are respectively the feed port and the discharge port. A sprocket transmission mechanism with an S-shaped distribution is provided inside. Several baking trays circulate and rotate on the sprocket transmission mechanism to complete the baking of the ingredients. The folding doors in this embodiment are installed on the two sides of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 to replace the original shell structure. In the specific implementation, the required number of folding doors can be freely set according to the length of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 and the width of the folding door, which is not the only limitation here.
[0027] In some embodiments, hydraulic rods 3 are provided on both sides of the upper door body 1 along the length of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9. Correspondingly, support components 4 are also provided on both sides of the lower door body 2. Under the action of the two hydraulic rods 3 and the two groups of support components 4, the stability and reliability of the bending door can be improved.
[0028] During routine cleaning, emergency repairs, and regular maintenance, upper door 1 rotates open under the push of hydraulic rod 3, and lower door 2 rotates with it, remaining suspended relative to the ground. As upper and lower door bodies 1 and 2 rotate, support assembly 4 follows. Under the weight of lower door 2, lower door 2 self-locks and reaches a static equilibrium, creating a space on the side of multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 where personnel can freely move their rods. Upper door 1 flips upward to open, fully exposing the side of multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 and facilitating cleaning, maintenance, and repair work within the furnace.
[0029] Furthermore, the support assembly 4 includes an upper support plate 6, a support rod 7, and a lower support plate 8. The upper support plate 6 is connected to the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9, and the lower support plate 8 is connected to the lower door body 2. The ends of the support rod 7 are respectively hinged to the upper support plate 6 and the lower support plate 8. The upper support plate 6 is installed on the top side of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 frame. The upper support plate 6 is set at a position close to the upper door body 1 of the lower door body 2 to increase the suspension height of the support rod 7 to avoid affecting the movement of people.
[0030] Furthermore, the upper door body 1 is hinged to the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 and the lower door body 2 through a plurality of damping hinges.
[0031] Furthermore, the above includes a control mechanism, which is connected to the hydraulic rod 3 so that the hydraulic rod 3 drives the upper door body 1 to rotate under the control of the control mechanism.
[0032] Furthermore, glass observation windows are provided on the upper door body 1 and the lower door body 2. Optionally, lighting fixtures can be provided on the side of the upper door body 1 and the lower door body 2 facing the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 to facilitate real-time observation of the operation of the equipment.
[0033] Furthermore, the upper door body 1, lower door body 2 and support rod 7 are all made of stainless steel plate material. Optionally, a sound-absorbing structure can also be provided on the outer side of the stainless steel plate to reduce the noise emitted by the internal transmission system of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9, thereby reducing the noise level of the factory building.
[0034] Furthermore, a silicone rubber buffer pad is provided on the side wall of the upper door body 1 and the lower door body 2 facing the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9. By providing the silicone rubber buffer pad, the hard impact between the upper door body 1, the lower door body 2 and the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise level.
[0035] Furthermore, the size of the above-mentioned upper door body 1 is equal to that of the lower door body 2. In this embodiment, the total height of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 is close to 3 meters, the shell height on both sides of the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 is about 2.4 meters, and the total height of the bending door is 2.2 meters. Therefore, when the upper door body 1 is fully opened and closed (the upper door body 1 is parallel to the horizontal plane), 1.1 meters of space is required for rotation and opening and closing. It can be seen that when the upper door body 1 and the lower door body 2 are equal in size, when the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 is arranged in the factory building, the aisles on both sides can be set to 1.1 meters to 1.2 meters. Under this setting, when the multi-layer tunnel furnace 9 is combined with other equipment, the spatial layout is more compact.
[0036] While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above descriptions are illustrative and non-exhaustive, and are not intended to be limiting of the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is selected to best explain the principles of the embodiments, their practical applications, or improvements to existing technologies, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
