Existing pilot-scale roller kilns have long cycle times, low operating frequency at each station, a small number of saggers that can be processed in one operation, and a large overall footprint, which cannot meet the automation needs of experimental personnel. The sagger loading and unloading system of the roller kiln is now being optimized and improved to reduce space occupancy and meet the requirements of automatic operation.
[0003] A patent application with publication number CN115597367A discloses an automated loading and unloading production line for roller kilns and its operating method. This automated loading and unloading production line includes: at least three parallel roller kilns; a kiln inlet system and a kiln outlet system, respectively located at the inlet and outlet of each roller kiln; an outlet conveyor line with conveying inlets corresponding to the outlets of each roller kiln; a sagger-type corner module adapted to transfer saggers sealed on the outlet conveyor line to a cooling conveyor line; and a loading and unloading conveyor line adapted to receive saggers sealed on the cooling conveyor line via a first corner module and to seal and convey the saggers to the kiln inlet conveyor line via a second corner module. The kiln inlet conveyor line has conveying outlets corresponding to the inlets of each roller kiln. This automated loading and unloading production line uses at least three roller kilns matched with the conveyor lines, resulting in a large footprint and complex layout. Utility Model Content
[0004] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a sagger loading and unloading system that solves the problems of existing roller kilns having a large footprint and insufficient automation when used for testing.

The position of the sagger is identified by interval to realize the loading. The sagger and the lid are conveyed on the same conveyor line without the need to arrange an additional conveyor line to convey the lid, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the system, simplifying the sagger loading process and speeding up the production pace.
[0020] (2) The sagger loading and unloading system is equipped with a lift and a corner machine. The sagger is transferred by the lift. The kiln body, conveyor line and transfer roller table can be arranged in two layers, upper and lower. By stacking, the space is fully utilized and the area occupied by the site is reduced.

It also includes a lid cleaning and lid placing machine 3, a sagger loading machine 6, a sagger cleaning machine 7, a sagger separating machine 9, and a lid taking machine 10 arranged sequentially on the conveyor line 2. By arranging a single-line circulating conveyor loading and unloading system, saggers can be used repeatedly and the lids and saggers can be transported simultaneously, reducing the path of the conveyor line 2, thereby reducing site occupation and streamlining the process.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a first elevator 101 and a second elevator 102. The first elevator 101 is located between the inlet transfer roller table 14 and the cover cleaning and cover placement machine 3, and the second elevator 102 is located between the outlet transfer roller table 13 and the cover removal machine 10. The first elevator 101 and the second elevator 102 are used to transport the saggers in the vertical direction.
[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a first corner machine 104 and a second corner machine 105. The first corner machine 104 is located between the first elevator 101 and the cover cleaning and placing machine 3, and the second corner machine 105 is located between the second elevator 102 and the cover taking machine 10. The first corner machine 104 and the second corner machine 105 make the conveying of the saggers circular, and the saggers can be recycled. The sintering and feeding processes are fully automated, reducing the need for personnel.
[0030] Furthermore, the inlet transfer roller table 14 and the outlet transfer roller table 13 are located on the lower layer and are connected to the furnace body 1. The furnace body 1 is placed on the lower layer, which facilitates the entry of the saggers and ensures high overall stability. The lid cleaning and lid placement machine 3, the sagger loading machine 6, the sagger separating machine 9, and the lid removal machine 10 are located on the upper layer. Through the layered layout, the space is fully utilized, which facilitates the debugging and observation of each process during the test.
[0031] Preferably, it also includes a stacking machine 4, which is set between the cover cleaning and cover placing machine 3 and the sagger loading machine 6. The stacking machine 4 is used to stack saggers, making full use of the space inside the kiln and improving sintering efficiency.

[0034] More preferably, it also includes a platform structure 103, on which the conveyor line 2 is set. The platform structure 103 is made of a steel frame, which separates the kiln and the conveyor line 2, making full use of the space.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] This embodiment also discloses a pilot-scale roller kiln, including a sagger loading and unloading system, an inlet replacement chamber 11, an outlet replacement chamber 12, and a furnace body 1. The two ends of the furnace body 1 are connected to the inlet replacement chamber 11 and the outlet replacement chamber 12, respectively. The inlet replacement chamber 11 is connected to the inlet transfer roller table 14, and the outlet replacement chamber 12 is connected to the outlet transfer roller table 13. The inlet replacement chamber 11 and the outlet replacement chamber 12 are used for ventilation when the saggers enter and exit the kiln to prevent air from entering the kiln and affecting sintering.
[0037] Preferably, it also includes a heat insulation layer 15, which is disposed on the outer wall of the furnace body 1 and arranged around the furnace body 1 to prevent heat loss.
[0038] The working process of this pilot roller kiln is as follows:
[0039] The saggers and lids are placed on conveyor line 2. The sagger loading machine 6 loads the material to be sintered into the saggers. The material homogenizer 5 shakes the material in the saggers to make them uniform. The saggers are then stacked. The lid cleaning and lid placement machine 3 cleans the lids and places them on the corresponding saggers. The first elevator 101 sends the entire sagger downwards into the inlet transfer roller table 14. The saggers enter the kiln through the inlet replacement chamber 11 for sintering. After sintering, the saggers move from the outlet replacement chamber 12 to the outlet transfer roller table 13, and then are sent back to conveyor line 2 by the second elevator 102. The lid removal machine 10 removes the lids and places them next to the saggers. The sagger separating machine 9 removes the material from the saggers and puts them into the next material conveying cycle.
