The structures of the upper pulling claw 5 heating device and the lower pulling claw 6 heating device are the same. The upper pulling claw 5 heating device comprises an upper heating shell 8 fixed on the upstream end of the upper rack 3, the upper pulling claw 5 circulates and passes through the upper heating shell 8, a plurality of discrete infrared heating lamps 9 are fixedly installed in the upper heating shell 8, the infrared heating lamps 9 are arranged along the running track of the upper pulling claw 5, a temperature sensor 10 for detecting the internal temperature of the upper heating shell 8 is arranged in the upper heating shell 8, and cleaning devices for cleaning the upper pulling claw 5 are arranged at the inlet and / or outlet of the upper heating shell 8.

[0033] In the embodiment, the upper heating shell 8 comprises a shell body, the shell body comprises a straight section 81 and a quarter arc section 82, the quarter arc section 82 covers a quarter profile of a traction sprocket of the upper circulating chain, and two ends of the shell body are respectively fixed with a gantry type connecting end plate 83 which spans the upper pulling claw 5 and is detachably fixed with the upper rack 3 through bolts.
