Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sintering furnace technology, specifically a continuous molten metal experimental sintering furnace. Background Technology

[0002] A frit sintering furnace, also known as a frit kiln, is a key thermal equipment used in the ceramics, enamel, and glass glaze industries for preparing frit. It transforms water-soluble or toxic raw materials into chemically stable, water-insoluble, and non-toxic inorganic non-metallic materials through a high-temperature melting-rapid cooling process, facilitating subsequent grinding, storage, and application. As a crucial intermediate in glazes, colorants, and frit glazes, the quality of the frit directly affects the performance of the final product.

[0003] During the sintering process, the fused material is typically conveyed via ceramic rollers. The installation angle and spatial position of the ceramic rollers directly affect the stability and uniformity of material transport, as well as the sintering quality. Deviations in the roller angle or position can easily lead to material misalignment, accumulation, or uneven heating, affecting the consistency of the fused material composition and the product yield. Therefore, accurate adjustment of the ceramic roller angle and position during equipment commissioning and operation is a crucial technical step in ensuring the stable and reliable fused material sintering process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a continuous molten block experimental sintering furnace, which can adjust the position and angle of the ceramic roller to ensure smooth and uniform molten block transmission, thereby ensuring the final sintering quality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] Continuous frit experimental sintering furnace, including:

[0007] Furnace body;

[0008] The drive assembly is located on one side of the furnace body;

[0009] The adjustment mechanism is located on the other side of the furnace body;

[0010] A ceramic roller rotatably passes through the furnace body, and its two ends are connected to a drive assembly and an adjustment assembly, respectively.

[0011] The adjustment components include:

[0012] The mounting base is fixedly installed on one side of the furnace body;

[0013] The connecting plate is vertically adjustable and mounted on the fixed base;

[0014] An adjustable plate, which can be adjusted laterally, is mounted on the connecting plate;

[0015] A groove, formed at the upper end of the adjusting plate, is used to accommodate the ceramic roller;

[0016] The support wheel, which is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the adjusting plate, is used to support the ceramic roller.

[0017] Furthermore, the adjustment components also include:

[0018] The longitudinal bolt is threaded along the longitudinal direction and connected to the fixed base, with the upper end of the longitudinal bolt abutting against the lower end face of the adjusting plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the adjustment components also include:

[0020] A transverse groove is formed on the adjusting plate along the horizontal direction;

[0021] A transverse bolt is provided on the connecting plate and passes through the transverse groove, and the transverse bolt can move laterally within the transverse groove.

[0022] Furthermore, the driving components include:

[0023] The drive plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the furnace body;

[0024] The card slot is located at the top of the driver board;

[0025] The bearing is fitted into the slot;

[0027] The sprocket is fixedly installed at the end of the spindle away from the furnace body and is driven by a chain.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper end of the card slot is covered with a pressure strip, which is detachably connected to the drive board.

[0029] Furthermore, the bearings are radial spherical bearings.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0031] (1) The ceramic roller end is adjusted in both longitudinal and transverse dimensions by adjusting the component, thereby adjusting the position and angle of the ceramic roller to ensure smooth and uniform transfer of the molten block, thus ensuring the final sintering quality.

[0032] (2) The longitudinal bolts are used to lift the adjusting plate and make fine adjustments to the height of one end of the ceramic roller. The cooperation between the transverse bolts and the transverse groove enables the adjusting plate to drive the ceramic roller to move laterally. This ensures the position and angle between the ceramic rollers and effectively prevents the ceramic rollers from jamming, wearing or running unevenly due to installation deviation or thermal deformation, thus ensuring the smooth conveying of materials on the roller conveyor and the uniformity of sintering quality.

[0033] (3) The support wheel transforms the sliding friction between the ceramic roller and the adjusting plate into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the resistance and friction loss when the ceramic roller rotates. This not only saves driving energy consumption, but also significantly extends the service life of the ceramic roller itself and the adjusting mechanism.

[0034] (4) The bearing in the drive assembly is embedded in the slot and fixed by the pressure strip above. The spindle and the ceramic roller are fixed by plug-in connection. The above two detachable connection structures make the inspection, replacement and other maintenance operations of the ceramic roller simpler and faster. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the continuous frit experimental sintering furnace includes a furnace body 1. A drive assembly 2 is located on one side of the furnace body 1. An adjustment assembly 4 is located on the other side of the furnace body 1. A ceramic roller 3 rotatably passes through the furnace body 1, and both ends of the ceramic roller 3 are connected to the drive assembly 2 and the adjustment assembly 4, respectively. The adjustment assembly 4 allows for adjustment of the ends of the ceramic roller 3 in both longitudinal and transverse dimensions, thereby adjusting the position and angle of the ceramic roller 3 to ensure smooth and uniform frit transport, thus guaranteeing the final sintering quality.

[0046] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the specific structure of the adjusting component 4 includes a fixed base 44, which is fixedly installed on one side of the furnace body 1. A connecting plate 45 is longitudinally adjustable on the fixed base 44 via a slide rail structure found in the prior art. An adjusting plate 41 is laterally adjustable on the connecting plate 45. A groove 42 is formed at the upper end of the adjusting plate 41 to accommodate the ceramic roller 3. A support wheel 43 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the adjusting plate 41 to support the ceramic roller 3. The support wheel 43 transforms the sliding friction between the ceramic roller 3 and the adjusting plate 41 into rolling friction, greatly reducing the resistance and friction loss during the rotation of the ceramic roller 3, saving driving energy consumption, and significantly extending the service life of the ceramic roller 3 and the adjusting mechanism.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the longitudinal bolt 46 is threadedly connected to the fixed base 44, and the upper end of the longitudinal bolt 46 abuts against the lower end face of the adjusting plate 41. The longitudinal position of the adjusting plate 41 can be adjusted by turning the longitudinal bolt 46. A transverse groove 48 is formed on the adjusting plate 41 in a transverse direction. A transverse bolt 47 is provided on the connecting plate 45 and passes through the transverse groove 48, and the transverse bolt 47 can move laterally within the transverse groove 48, thereby adjusting the transverse position of the adjusting plate 41.

[0048] The longitudinal bolt 46 is used to lift the adjusting plate 41, enabling fine-tuning of the height of one end of the ceramic roller 3. The cooperation between the transverse bolt 47 and the transverse groove 48 allows the adjusting plate 41 to drive the ceramic roller 3 to move laterally. This ensures the position and angle between the ceramic rollers 3, effectively preventing jamming, wear, or unstable operation of the ceramic rollers 3 due to installation deviations or thermal deformation, and ensuring the smooth conveying of materials on the roller conveyor and the uniformity of sintering quality.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the drive assembly 2 includes a drive plate 21, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the furnace body 1. A slot 22 is formed at the upper end of the drive plate 21. A bearing 23 is embedded in the slot 22. A spindle 26 is rotatably mounted on the bearing 23, and one end of the spindle 26 is inserted into the ceramic roller 3. A sprocket 25 is fixedly mounted at the end of the spindle 26 away from the furnace body 1 and is driven by a chain, which is driven by a motor, so that all the ceramic rollers 3 can rotate synchronously. The upper end of the slot 22 is covered with a pressure strip 24, which is detachably connected to the drive plate 21. The bearing 23 in the drive assembly 2 is embedded in the slot 22 and fixed by the pressure strip 24 above. The spindle 26 and the ceramic roller 3 are fixed by insertion. The above two detachable connection structures make the inspection, replacement and other maintenance operations of the ceramic roller 3 simpler and faster.

[0050] Bearing 23 is a radial spherical plain bearing. Radial spherical plain bearings can simultaneously withstand radial and a certain angular axial loads, and allow for a small amount of angular displacement, possessing a self-aligning function. They can compensate for stress caused by thermal expansion or minor errors in installation alignment, avoiding damage to bearing 23 or breakage of ceramic roller 3 that might occur with rigid connections, greatly improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the drive system.

[0051] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
