[0020] This utility model provides a waste heat recovery and utilization device for calcination rotary kilns used in zinc oxide production, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the waste heat recovery and utilization device for calcination rotary kiln in zinc oxide production includes: a base 1; a heat storage box 2, which is installed on top of the base 1; a water tank 3, which is installed on top of the base 1 and is used to store clean water; a tail gas pipe 8, which is installed inside the heat storage box 2 and connected to the tail gas port of the zinc oxide calcination rotary kiln, and the tail gas pipe 8 is provided with a metal pipe section located inside the water tank 3 for heating clean water; and a protective cover 11, which is installed on top of the heat storage box 2, and a support plate 13 for holding materials is detachably installed inside the protective cover 11, and the support plate 13 is located directly above the heat storage box 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the base 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire waste heat recovery and utilization device, ensuring the device's stability and facilitating the installation and fixing of other components. The heat storage tank 2 is used to store and transfer the waste heat recovered from the tail gas of the calcining rotary kiln. The water tank 3 is used to store clean water, which is heated by the tail gas through metal pipes. Utilizing the waste heat to heat the clean water in the water tank 3 provides an additional avenue for heat energy utilization, such as heating or preheating industrial water. The tail gas pipe 8 is connected to the tail gas outlet of the zinc oxide production calcining rotary kiln. The tail gas heats the clean water through the metal pipes within it, effectively transferring the waste heat from the calcining rotary kiln's tail gas to the water tank 3, thus improving the heat energy recovery efficiency. The metal pipes, as the medium for heat energy transfer, improve the heat energy conversion efficiency. The protective cover 11 provides additional protection and insulation, preventing heat loss and protecting operators from high-temperature injuries. The support plate 13 is used to hold materials, such as zinc oxide or other substances to be heated or dried. Utilizing the waste heat stored in the heat storage tank 2 to heat or dry the materials further improves energy utilization efficiency.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dehumidification box 12 is provided on the top of the protective cover 11, and an isolation net 15 is provided on the top and bottom of the dehumidification box 12 and the top of the heat storage box 2. An operation port 18 is provided on the protective cover 11 to allow the support plate 13 to pass through, and a baffle 19 for closing the operation port 18 is fixed on the support plate 13.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cooling box 4 is installed on the side of the water tank 3 away from the heat storage box 2, a filter box 5 is installed on the top of the base 1, the exhaust pipe 8 extends through the cooling box 4 into the filter box 5, and the cooling box 4 is filled with cooling water.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cooling box 4 absorbs heat from the exhaust gas using cooling water, further reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas and minimizing its thermal impact on the subsequent filter box 5 and the environment. Simultaneously, the cooling water can be preheated by the exhaust gas, improving the overall system's heat recovery efficiency. The filter box 5 is used to purify the exhaust gas, removing particulate matter and harmful gases. Filtration significantly reduces the pollution of the exhaust gas to the environment, improving the device's environmental performance. Furthermore, the purified exhaust gas better meets emission standards, contributing to the company's sustainable development.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a booster pipe 6 is installed at the exhaust end of the filter box 5, and a duct 7 is fixed at the top of the base 1. The booster pipe 6 extends into the duct 7, and a wind turbine 16 is installed inside the duct 7. Multiple fan blades 17 are installed on the wind turbine 16.

[0027] In this embodiment, the booster pipe 6 introduces the exhaust gas purified by the filter box 5 into the duct 7. The booster pipe 6 increases the pressure or flow rate of the exhaust gas by reducing the inner diameter of the exhaust port. By increasing the pressure or flow rate of the exhaust gas, the fan blades 17 inside the duct 7 can be rotated more effectively, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the wind turbine 16. The duct 7 provides a controlled environment to ensure that the exhaust gas can be efficiently transmitted to the wind turbine 16, while reducing energy loss and environmental pollution. The wind turbine 16 uses the kinetic energy generated by the exhaust gas flow to drive the fan blades 17 to rotate, thereby generating electricity, providing an additional energy source for the device and further improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire system.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, temperature sensors 10 are fixed on both the water tank 3 and the cooling box 4, and the detection probes of the two temperature sensors 10 extend into the water tank 3 and the cooling box 4 respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 10 can monitor the temperature of the medium in the water tank 3 and the cooling box 4 in real time and accurately, providing important operating data for the operator. When the medium temperature exceeds the preset safety range, the temperature sensor 10 can send a signal, which, in conjunction with the external alarm system, reminds the operator to take timely measures to prevent the equipment from overheating or being damaged.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of support rods 14 are fixed inside the protective cover 11. The support rods 14 are used to support the support plate 13. A protective plate for isolating the filter material is detachably installed on one side of the filter box 5. A handle is installed on the protective plate.

[0033] In this embodiment, by adding support rod 14, the support plate 13 and the material on it can be supported more effectively, preventing the material from falling off or being damaged due to vibration or external force during the calcination process. At the same time, support rod 14 also improves the structural strength and stability of protective cover 11. The protective plate is used to isolate the filter material, which facilitates the replacement and cleaning of the filter material. By installing handle, the protective plate can be held and moved more conveniently, thereby simplifying the operation process of filter material replacement and cleaning.
