[0003] In general, after the cooling of steel band through pretreatment fast cooling section, the temperature of edge is low, but the traditional equalizing furnace cannot realize the temperature uniformity of thick steel band in cross section direction, so it is not suitable for galvanizing production line with high thickness of steel band, so there is an urgent need to propose a new equalizing furnace to solve the above problems.

[0023] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 It is a kind of equalizing furnace with edge heating function, the equalizing furnace is mainly used for galvanizing line or plate strip annealing furnace etc., to realize the temperature uniformity of thick plate strip steel (more than 3mm) in cross section direction, it includes equalizing furnace furnace body 2 and three furnace rollers 4 arranged along the running direction of strip steel 7;
[0024] The key is that a plurality of W-shaped electric heating pipes 3 are arranged on the top and bottom of the equalizing furnace body 2, and the W-shaped electric heating pipes 3 are oppositely arranged on the drive side and the operation side of the equalizing furnace body 2 respectively to realize the temperature diffusion from the edge to the center in the equalizing furnace.
[0025] Specifically, the W-shaped electric heating pipes 3 are oppositely arranged on the drive side and the operation side of the equalizing furnace body 2, which improves the temperature distribution gradient in the equalizing furnace and realizes the uniform heating temperature of the cross section of the strip.
[0026] Generally, the equalizing furnace is arranged between the fast cooling furnace and the hot stretching roller chamber, the strip 7 runs on the furnace roller 4 after entering the inlet of the equalizing furnace from the fast cooling furnace, and then passes out from the interface between the equalizing furnace and the hot stretching roller chamber, thereby realizing the temperature equalization of the strip 7 in the equalizing furnace.
[0027] Preferably, there is a 200mm thick heat preservation layer 1 on the inner wall of the equalizing furnace body 2 for heat preservation and heat insulation.
[0028] The 24 W-shaped electric heating pipes 3 are uniformly distributed on the top and bottom of the equalizing furnace body 2, 12 on the top and 12 on the bottom, and are arranged on the drive side and the operation side respectively for radiating the strip 7 to realize the edge heating of the strip.
[0029] Moreover, since the diameter of the traditional radiation pipe is 200mm and the thickness of the W-shaped electric heating pipe 3 is only 30mm, the height of the equalizing furnace body 2 can be reduced, thereby saving the overall space of the equalizing furnace and reducing the cost and investment.

[0032] In the embodiment, the strip 7 runs at high speed under the tension control of the furnace roller 4 in the equalizing furnace, maintains a certain temperature by absorbing the radiation heat of the 24 W-shaped electric heating pipes 3, and maintains the uniformity of the temperature of the strip 7 in the cross section direction by adjusting the power of the W-shaped electric heating pipes 3; the output power of the W-shaped electric heating pipes 3 is determined according to the width, thickness and running speed of the strip 7.
[0033] Finally, it is explained that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limited.
