Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank calcining furnace technology, specifically to an automated drying system for tank calcining furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pot-type calcining furnaces are widely used in the aluminum anode and cathode material industry. These furnaces are large in size, with the core constructed of silica bricks (mainly composed of silicon dioxide) and the outer walls of red bricks. The spaces between the two are constructed of high-alumina bricks (mainly composed of alumina), insulating bricks, or clay bricks. Due to the significant differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of different building materials, especially silica bricks, which exhibit large differences in thermal expansion coefficients across different temperature ranges and can undergo sudden and drastic expansion due to high-temperature phase transitions, the start-up of the calcining furnace is very difficult and has a long cycle, typically around 60 days. The furnace drying process must be strictly carried out according to the furnace drying curve. Within the drying cycle, the temperature at each point in time is fixed, and the slowest temperature rise is only allowed to increase by about 6°C per shift.

[0003] Workers must continuously adjust the gas valve opening 24 hours a day based on the temperature display of each flue to ensure that the temperature of each flue matches the furnace drying curve. Given this, manual furnace drying is extremely labor-intensive, with workers operating in high-temperature environments during summer, making for harsh working conditions. Furthermore, manual furnace drying makes it difficult to guarantee a high degree of consistency between the real-time furnace temperature and the heating curve, and it's difficult to prevent furnace cracking due to errors, leading to irreparable defects. Safety during the drying process is also challenging, as the torch may sometimes extinguish in low-temperature zones; if not detected in time, this could result in an explosion, damaging the furnace or even injuring personnel. Therefore, we need to propose an automated furnace drying system for tank-type calcining furnaces. Summary of the Invention

If the on-duty personnel do not notice in time, an explosion may occur, which may damage the furnace or even injure the on-duty personnel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] An automated drying system for a pot-type calcining furnace includes a pot-type calcining furnace 1. The pot-type calcining furnace 1 has a first-layer fire channel 2 inside. An upper-layer temperature measuring element 3 is fixedly installed inside the first-layer fire channel 2. A lower-layer temperature measuring element 4 is fixedly installed below the upper-layer temperature measuring element 3 in the first-layer fire channel 2. A flameout protection flame gun 5 is installed on one side of the pot-type calcining furnace 1. One end of the flameout protection flame gun 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 6. One end of the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to a branch gas pipe 7. One end of the branch gas pipe 7 is fixedly connected to a main gas pipe 8. The pot-type calcining furnace 1 is fixedly connected to... A negative pressure fan 9 is used. A flameout protection flame gun 5 is inserted at the starting point of the first layer fire channel 2 of the calcining furnace. The combustion air is drawn in by the negative pressure provided by the negative pressure fan 9 at the starting point of the first layer fire channel 2. The hot gas after combustion flows downward from top to bottom under the pull of the negative pressure fan 9. The main control system of this utility model can also use the main control system of the calcining furnace automatic temperature adjustment for automatic furnace drying. The automatic furnace drying control program is input, and the furnace drying execution system is controlled by the modified calcining furnace automatic temperature adjustment system. Under the control of the automatic temperature adjustment main control cabinet, the temperature is automatically increased according to a strict furnace drying curve.

[0025] An electrically controlled gas valve 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 6. A control branch valve 11 is connected to one side of the electrically controlled gas valve 10 on the connecting pipe 6. A bypass branch valve 12 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 6 through a pipe. A main shut-off valve 13 is connected to the outer wall of the branch gas pipe 7. A main gas pipe 8 is laid on the temperature regulating platform of the tank-type calcining furnace. There are multiple branch gas pipes 7 on the main gas pipe 8. A three-way connector is connected to the branch gas pipe 7 to divide the gas path into two paths. One path is equipped with the control branch valve 11 and the electrically controlled gas valve 10, and is connected to the flameout protection flame gun 5. The other gas path is a bypass gas path, equipped with a bypass branch valve 12. The purpose is to close the control branch valve 11 and use the size of the bypass branch valve 12 for emergency manual furnace drying if the electrically controlled gas valve 10 fails.

[0026] It also includes a control cabinet 14, and the upper temperature measuring element 3, the lower temperature measuring element 4 and the electrically controlled gas valve 10 are all electrically connected to the control cabinet 14 via wires;

The flameout protection flame gun 5 burns inside the fire channel to control the oven temperature of that channel. If multiple temperature sensing elements are present... When the measured real-time temperature is lower than the temperature required by the furnace baking curve, the electrically controlled gas valve 10 can increase the opening to increase the gas intake, or increase the gas intake by adjusting the pressure, so that the flame of the flameout protection flame gun 5 will be larger and the temperature will rise; conversely, if the temperature of the corresponding fire channel measured by the temperature sensing element is too high compared with the preset temperature of the furnace baking curve, the opening of the electrically controlled gas valve 10 will be reduced, or the pressure of the gas entering the flameout protection flame gun 5 will be reduced, reducing the gas intake and reducing the flame of the flameout protection flame gun 5 to lower the temperature; the execution unit is connected to the main gas pipe 8 through the valve and to the flameout protection flame gun 5 through the connecting hose;

[0028] It also includes an alarm 19, which is electrically connected to the control unit 15 via a wire.

[0030] One end of the branch gas pipe 7 is fixedly connected to a gas hose 23, and one end of the gas hose 23 is connected to one end of the flameout protection flame gun 5. The furnace baking curve and the flameout protection flame gun design have been significantly improved, resulting in excellent energy-saving effects. This can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers, and workers basically do not need to frequently run to the furnace to check. The flameout protection flame gun has an anti-flameout design, so it rarely goes out even at low temperatures.

[0031] The flameout protection flame gun 5 includes a flame gun tube 24. One end of the flame gun tube 24 is fixedly connected to a flameout protection valve 25, and one end of the flameout protection valve 25 is connected to an air inlet 26. The air inlet 26 is fixedly connected to one end of a gas hose 23 via a connector. The other end of the flame gun tube 24 is fixedly connected to a nozzle head 31. The nozzle head 31 is equipped with a flame ball 27. One end of the nozzle head 31 is fixedly installed with a flameout protection cover 28. A thermal sensor 29 is installed on the top of the nozzle head 31. A sensing wire 30 is connected to the thermal sensor 29. One end of the sensing wire 30 is connected to the flameout protection valve 25. Automatic furnace drying can better follow the furnace drying curve than manual furnace drying, and the furnace drying quality is higher than manual drying. By setting the flameout protection valve 25 and the thermal sensor 29 in combination, when the furnace drying flame gun is accidentally extinguished, the device can automatically shut off the natural gas source in a very short time, which can avoid the major safety hazard of a fire tunnel explosion.
