Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary kiln technology, specifically to a crack-resistant unshaped refractory rotary kiln inlet structure. Background Technology

[0002] The common method for constructing rotary kiln castable linings is to divide the lining into equal sections along the radial direction of the kiln body, pre-weld several "Y"-shaped anchor hooks at designated locations within the rotary kiln, and then erect molds along the length of the kiln body for casting. During the long-term production process of the rotary kiln, the refractory lining is exposed to high temperatures for extended periods. Due to thermal expansion and volume changes, the refractory lining is prone to cracking or even detachment, thus affecting the service life of the rotary kiln. Furthermore, this on-site integral casting construction is difficult, labor-intensive, and costly in terms of formwork erection, and maintenance of the rotary kiln refractory lining is also quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crack-resistant rotary kiln inlet structure for monolithic refractory materials, which can effectively prevent cracking of the refractory lining and improve its service life.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A crack-resistant rotary kiln inlet structure for an amorphous refractory material includes a refractory lining fixed to the inner wall of the rotary kiln, and the refractory lining has expansion joints.

[0006] The expansion joint consists of multiple right-handed and multiple left-handed expansion joints, which divide the refractory lining into multiple lining segments.

[0007] Note: The interlocking design of right-hand and left-hand expansion joints can better withstand thermal expansion and contraction deformation and is less prone to stress concentration.

[0008] The expansion joint is filled with refractory flexible filler, which is ceramic fiber felt.

[0009] Note: Ceramic fiber felt has good thermal insulation properties and flexibility. It can be compressed when the kiln expands, which plays a buffering role, prevents hot air from leaking out of the expansion joint, and avoids stress concentration and cracking caused by unreasonable expansion joint.

[0010] The inner wall of the rotary kiln is provided with multiple anchoring structures, including multiple anchoring support shafts fixed to the inner wall of the rotary kiln and extending radially thereon. An anchoring support inner ring is sleeved on the anchoring support shaft, and an anchoring support outer ring coaxial with it is provided on the outside of the anchoring support inner ring.

[0011] The outer wall of the inner ring of the anchoring support is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer ring of the anchoring support by multiple buffer connecting rings.

[0012] Multiple L-shaped anchoring connecting plates are fixed on the outer ring of the anchoring support, and a spiral anchoring spring is fixed to the outer end of the anchoring connecting plate.

[0013] The anchoring connector and the spiral anchoring spring are embedded and fixed in the fire-resistant lining.

[0014] Note: When the kiln opening expands or contracts due to temperature changes, the connection parts of the anchors can be stretched or compressed accordingly to avoid excessive stress on the refractory material due to rigid connection.

[0015] Preferably, a flexible buffer layer is provided between the refractory lining and the inner wall of the rotary kiln, and the flexible buffer layer is a flexible ceramic fiber felt.

[0016] Note: When the kiln opening is subjected to external forces such as thermal stress and mechanical vibration, the flexible buffer layer can absorb some of the energy, reducing the impact and damage to the refractory material.

[0017] Preferably, the spiral anchoring spring has a tapered spiral structure with a gradually changing diameter. The end of the spiral anchoring spring connected to the anchoring connecting piece has a smaller diameter, while the end of the spiral anchoring spring connected to the anchoring connecting piece has a larger diameter.

[0018] Note: Spiral anchors are more effective at preventing refractory materials from falling off when subjected to thermal and mechanical stress.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:

[0020] 1. The structure of this utility model is reasonably designed. The kiln opening structure has good thermal shock resistance. The kiln opening will experience frequent temperature changes during operation, such as kiln opening, kiln shutdown, and changes in the amount and properties of material feed. The kiln opening structure can withstand the rapid temperature changes without cracking.

[0021] 2. The new anchoring structure of this utility model has good anchoring performance, which allows the refractory material to better wrap the anchor and form a firm connection, effectively enhancing the mechanical interlocking force between the anchor and the refractory lining layer, and ensuring good bonding force between the anchor and the refractory material.

[0022] 3. The kiln opening structure of this utility model has good expansion adaptability. The entire anchoring structure, together with the inner lining layer segment, can withstand displacement along the axis parallel to the rotary kiln, displacement along the radial direction of the rotary kiln, and displacement around the circumference of the rotary kiln.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following is combined Figures 1-4 This utility model will be described in detail. For ease of description, the orientations mentioned below are defined as follows: The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back mentioned below are consistent with the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the projection relationship of their respective main views or structural schematic diagrams.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] A crack-resistant rotary kiln inlet structure made of monolithic refractory material, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a refractory lining 20 fixed to the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10, and the refractory lining 20 has an expansion joint 21.

[0031] The refractory lining layer 20 is a calcium aluminate cement-bonded castable of existing technology;

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the expansion joint 21 is composed of multiple right-handed expansion joints 211 and multiple left-handed expansion joints 212, which divide the refractory inner lining 20 into multiple inner lining segment blocks 201.

[0033] The expansion joint 21 is filled with fire-resistant flexible filler 22, which is ceramic fiber felt (commercially available product).

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a flexible buffer layer 101 is provided between the refractory lining 20 and the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10. The flexible buffer layer 101 is a flexible ceramic fiber felt (commercially available product).

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple anchoring structures 11 are provided on the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10, such as...Figure 3 As shown, the anchoring structure 11 includes a plurality of anchoring support shafts 111 fixed on the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10 and extending radially thereon. An anchoring support inner ring 112 is sleeved on the anchoring support shaft 111, and an anchoring support outer ring 113 coaxial with it is provided on the outside of the anchoring support inner ring 112.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the inner ring 112 of the anchor support and the inner wall of the outer ring 113 of the anchor support are fixedly connected by multiple buffer connecting rings 114.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple L-shaped anchoring connecting pieces 115 are fixed on the outer ring 113 of the anchoring support, and a spiral anchoring spring 116 is fixed to the outer end of the anchoring connecting piece 115.

[0038] Anchoring connection piece 115 and spiral anchoring spring 116 are embedded and fixed in the fire-resistant inner lining layer 20;

[0039] The anchoring support shaft 111, the anchoring support inner ring 112, the anchoring support outer ring 113, the buffer connecting ring 114, the anchoring connecting piece 115, and the spiral anchoring spring 116 are all made of chromium-nickel alloy heat-resistant steel. The chromium-nickel alloy heat-resistant steel used in this embodiment is a commercially available product.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, the spiral anchoring spring 116 has a tapered spiral structure with a gradually changing diameter. The end of the spiral anchoring spring 116 connected to the anchoring connecting piece 115 has a smaller diameter, and the end of the spiral anchoring spring 116 connected away from the anchoring connecting piece 115 has a larger diameter.

[0042] The diameter of the smaller end of the spiral anchoring spring 116 is 5cm, and the diameter of the larger end of the spiral anchoring spring 116 is 1.5 times that of the smaller end.

[0043] In practical application, this utility model first lays a flexible buffer layer 101 on the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10, then fixes multiple anchoring structures 11 on the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10, then pours a refractory lining layer 20 on the inner wall of the rotary kiln 10, and after the refractory lining layer 20 dries, opens multiple right-handed expansion joints 211 and multiple left-handed expansion joints 212 on the refractory lining layer 20, and finally fills the right-handed expansion joints 211 and left-handed expansion joints 212 with refractory flexible filler 22.

[0044] The inner ring 112 of the anchoring support is fixedly connected to the anchoring support shaft 111 by a threaded connection, and each inner lining layer segment 201 is fixed and constrained by a separate anchoring structure 11.

[0045] The outer wall of the inner ring 112 of the anchoring support and the inner wall of the outer ring 113 of the anchoring support are fixedly connected by multiple buffer connecting rings 114. When the refractory lining 20 is deformed by heat and generates a small displacement, the structure can adapt to the deformation displacement of the refractory lining 20, and avoid stress concentration caused by deformation displacement of the refractory lining 20, which would lead to cracking and damage of the refractory lining 20.

[0046] The entire anchoring structure 11, together with the inner lining segment 201, can withstand displacement in the direction parallel to the axis of the rotary kiln 10, displacement in the radial direction of the rotary kiln 10, and displacement around the circumference of the rotary kiln 10.
