Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of protective sleeve technology, and more specifically, to a protective sleeve for preventing the inner wall of a radiation tube from being eroded by high-temperature flames. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of domestic requirements for the quality and performance of heat-treated steel products, the number of metal workpieces that need to be heat-treated in the metallurgical industry is increasing. The repeated heating or cooling of steel strips during the heating process will cause iron oxide scale to form on the surface of the steel, resulting in metal loss. In order to reduce the oxidation and burning loss of steel strips during the heating process of metal workpieces and effectively avoid decarburization, a heating method that does not directly contact the steel strip has been developed, namely, using radiant tubes to transfer heat to the steel strip through radiation.

[0003] Currently, the heat treatment furnace is filled with a protective atmosphere. Radiant tubes are evenly arranged above and below the steel strip. Inside the radiant tubes, the coal gas and combustion air are ignited and burned by the ignition electrode. The flue gas produced by combustion is turned back at the end of the radiant tube and then preheated by the heat exchanger. Since the radiant tube is the most important heating equipment in heat treatment, the life of the radiant tube directly affects the production capacity of heat treatment. Therefore, the radiant tube plays a vital role in the heat treatment furnace.

[0004] During the production process, the combustion flame of the radiant tube burner is ring-shaped and diffused. At the secondary combustion outlet, the combustion flame continuously heats the radiant tube wall at a high temperature. Since there are no heat dissipation components between the secondary combustion outlet of the burner and the flue duct, the radiant tube wall is prone to problems such as deformation, cracking, and burning due to uneven heating. This requires regular furnace shutdown for maintenance, which seriously affects the production cycle of the heat treatment furnace. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a protective sleeve to prevent the inner wall of a radiant tube from being eroded by high-temperature flames, thereby protecting the radiant tube and extending its service life without changing its original structure.

[0006] This application provides a protective sleeve to prevent the inner wall of a radiant tube from being eroded by high-temperature flames, and adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A protective sleeve for preventing high-temperature flame erosion of the inner wall of a radiant tube includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a third sleeve. The first sleeve is disposed inside the radiant tube, and its outer wall abuts against the inner wall of the radiant tube. The second sleeve is located inside the first sleeve, and at least two first grid bars are provided between the first sleeve and the second sleeve. One end of the second sleeve extends to the outside of the first sleeve. The third sleeve is located on the side of the second sleeve away from the first sleeve, and one end of the third sleeve extends to the inside of the second sleeve. At least two second grid bars are provided between the third sleeve and the second sleeve. Two locking blocks are provided on the outer wall of the other end of the third sleeve, and the two locking blocks are arranged opposite each other. The third sleeve is connected to the flue gas duct by a 90° rotational snap-fit ​​through the two locking blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the first grid bars are evenly distributed inside the first sleeve, and the second grid bars are evenly distributed inside the second sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the first grid bar and the first sleeve, the first grid bar and the second sleeve are integrally formed, and the second grid bar and the second sleeve, the second grid bar and the third sleeve are integrally formed.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the first sleeve is greater than the length of the second sleeve, and the length of the second sleeve is greater than the length of the third sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the first sleeve, the second sleeve, the third sleeve, and the clamping block are all made of high-temperature resistant SiC material.

[0012] Preferably, the axial length of the portion of the second sleeve located inside the first sleeve is 10-15 cm, and the axial length of the portion of the third sleeve located inside the second sleeve is 10-15 cm.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the first grid bar is 2-3 cm, and the thickness of the second grid bar is 2-3 cm.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0015] This application features simple installation and easy manufacturing, and is applicable to various radiant tube burners. It has good utilization and promotion value. By setting up a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a third sleeve, the outer wall of the first sleeve is attached to the inner wall of the radiant tube to protect it. The second sleeve is used to change the trajectory of the burner flame, preventing the burner flame from directly burning the radiant tube, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the radiant tube and extending its service life. It can also avoid problems such as deformation, cracking, and burning of the radiant tube wall caused by uneven heating, reducing maintenance frequency and extending the production cycle. Since the third sleeve is connected to the flue gas duct by a 90° rotation snap-fit ​​with a locking block, the overall stability of the protective sleeve is improved, preventing the protective sleeve from moving with the direction of flue gas flow during use.

[0016] The three-layer casing structure allows flue gas to pass smoothly through the area between the first and second casings, as well as the area between the second and third casings. Attached Figure Description
