Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel kiln technology, and in particular to a tunnel kiln hot air circulation device. Background Technology
[0002] A tunnel kiln is a kiln similar to a tunnel, constructed from refractory, insulation, and building materials and containing kiln cars and other transport vehicles. It is a modern, continuous firing thermal equipment. Tunnel kilns are widely used in the firing of ceramic products and are also applied in metallurgical industries such as abrasives. As a continuous kiln, tunnel kilns have good heat utilization, short production cycles, high output, and high quality.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent, CN211668251U, discloses a tunnel kiln for refractory bricks. The key technical points of its solution are: it includes a kiln body, a track within the kiln body, and kiln cars that slide along the track. The track includes a first track section and a second track section located at the open-flame firing position within the kiln body. The second track section is positioned higher than the first track section. The bottom of the kiln car is equipped with first and second rollers. During the preheating stage of the tunnel kiln, the kiln car moves on the first track section, with a relatively small distance between the kiln car and the ground. When the kiln car reaches the firing position, it moves onto the second track section, which is vertically higher, increasing the distance between the kiln car and the ground. This allows the flame to enter from the bottom of the kiln car, increasing the contact area between the semi-finished refractory bricks and the flame, thus facilitating firing. Because the space at the bottom of the kiln car is larger, more air can be supplied for the flame to burn, resulting in more uniform heating of the refractory bricks.
[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks. Although the above technical solutions facilitate the entry of flames from the bottom of the kiln car, increase the contact area between the fireproof brick semi-finished product and the flame, and facilitate firing, the hot air generated during firing is directly discharged without being recycled, which easily leads to a waste of heat resources.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a tunnel kiln hot air recycling device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] (1) In this utility model, the box door is opened, the brick blank to be processed is placed on the placement tray in the preheating box, the box door is closed, and the exhaust fan on the top surface of the tunnel kiln body is turned on. The exhaust fan transports the hot air in the tunnel kiln body to the preheating box through the exhaust pipe and the air supply pipe. The hot air is blown out through the air outlet on the top surface of the preheating box, so that the brick blank in the preheating box can be preheated. In this way, the hot air generated by the tunnel kiln body during use can be recycled, reducing the waste of heat resources and improving its practicality. The motor on the bottom surface of the partition drives the second gear to rotate. At the same time, the second gear drives the first gear on the rotating rod to rotate, so that the placement tray at the top of the rotating rod rotates. This allows the brick blank on the placement tray to fully contact the hot air in the preheating box, so that the brick blank is heated evenly and the preheating effect of the brick blank is improved.
[0018] (2) In this utility model, the second gear is driven by the motor to rotate, so that the rotating rod rotates. At the same time as the rotating rod rotates, the fan blades on the rotating rod can rotate synchronously with the rotating rod. By using the fan blades, the cold air in the preheating box can be discharged from the opening, so that the hot air can be fully distributed in the preheating box, so that the hot air can fully contact the brick blank, further improving the preheating effect of the brick blank.

A fan blade 12 is located on the rotating rod 9 above the partition 6. The device allows the process of opening the box door 18 to allow the process of... The brick blanks are placed on the placement tray 2 in the preheating box 1. The box door 18 is closed, and the exhaust fan 15 on the top surface of the tunnel kiln body 17 is turned on. The exhaust fan 15 transports the hot air in the tunnel kiln body 17 to the preheating box 1 through the exhaust pipe 16 and the air supply pipe 14. The hot air is blown out through the air outlet 13 on the top surface of the preheating box 1, which can preheat the brick blanks in the preheating box 1. This allows the hot air generated by the tunnel kiln body 17 during use to be recycled, reducing the waste of heat resources and improving its practicality.
