DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a roller kiln. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A roller kiln, comprising: a kiln 1, a roller 2 and a heating device 3, the kiln 1 has a cavity inside for accommodating a material loading sagger, the heating device 3 is used for heating the cavity inside the kiln 1, both ends of the kiln 1 in the length direction are respectively provided with a feeding port 6 and a discharging port (not shown in the figure), the feeding port 6 and the discharging port are both communicated with the cavity, the roller 2 is rotatably arranged on the kiln 1 under the driving of a kiln driving motor, and one end of the roller 2 extends out of the kiln 1, and a plurality of rollers 2 are arranged along the length direction of the kiln 1. In order to facilitate real-time detection of the fracture of the roller 2, a detection device for detecting whether the end of the roller 2 located outside the kiln 1 is bent is arranged on the outer wall of the kiln 1. Specifically, one end of the roller 2 extending out of the kiln 1, a non-combustible heat insulation layer 8 is fixed on the kiln 1, the roller 2 is coated by the heat insulation layer 8, and further, in order to maintain the balance of the roller 2, a supporting wheel 9 for supporting the end of the roller 2 located outside the kiln 1 is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the kiln 1, and each roller 2 abuts against two supporting wheels 9.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 The heating device 3 comprises two groups of electric heating elements respectively located on both sides of the plurality of rollers 2. Specifically, the two groups of electric heating elements are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the plane where the plurality of rollers 2 are located, and the electric heating elements of each group are distributed along the length direction of the kiln 1. In order to exhaust the flue gas in the kiln 1, an exhaust port 7 is formed at the top of the kiln 1, and a plurality of exhaust ports 7 are distributed along the length direction of the kiln 1, and in order to further provide air for the kiln 1, referring to Figure 3The kiln 1 is provided with an air pump 11 at the bottom, which is located below the electric heating element and has an output end in communication with the inner cavity of the kiln 1.

[0033] With reference to Figure 1 The detection device includes a pair of emitter 41 and receiver 42 of the through-beam photoelectric sensor, which are located at two ends of the kiln 1 along the conveying direction. Specifically, the emitter 41 and the receiver 42 are located on the same horizontal line and above the plane where the plurality of roller bars 2 are located. The distance from the emitter 41 and the receiver 42 to the plane where the plurality of roller bars 2 are located is designed according to the amplitude of the end of the roller bar 2 when the roller bar 2 is broken. When the roller bar 2 is broken, the end of the roller bar 2 located outside the kiln 1 is raised between the emitter 41 and the receiver 42, which blocks the signal emitted by the emitter 41 to the receiver 42. At this time, the through-beam photoelectric sensor detects that the signal is disconnected and transmits it to the external control system to alarm the staff, which reduces the workload of the staff for periodic inspection and shortens the response time of the staff when the roller bar 2 is broken.

[0034] Further, in order to shield the kiln 1 and keep warm while avoiding accidental touch by the staff as much as possible, with reference to Figure 1 The kiln 1 is provided with a plurality of baffle plates 5, which are located at one end of the roller bar 2 away from the kiln 1. The baffle plates 5 are arranged along the length direction of the kiln 1 and abut against each other to shield the side wall of the kiln 1. When the baffle plates 5 are installed on the kiln 1, a window for observing the end of the roller bar 2 located outside the kiln 1 is arranged at the position of the baffle plate 5 aligned with the roller bar 2. In the embodiment, the window is in the form of an open hole, and in other embodiments, the window can also be a closed structure separated by transparent material. When the broken roller bar 2 is detected, the staff can easily remove the baffle plate 5 corresponding to the specific position of the broken roller bar 2 for replacement without removing the baffle plates 5 of the entire kiln 1, which improves the processing efficiency when the roller bar 2 is broken.

[0035] Specifically, in order to remove the baffle plate 5, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2The extension plate 13 is fixed on the top of the kiln 1, the length direction of the extension plate 13 is arranged along the length direction of the kiln 1, the plate surface of the extension plate 13 is parallel to the plane formed by the plurality of roller bars 2, the side of the extension plate 13 away from the roller bars 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 15, the clamping block 14 is fixed on the side surface of the baffle 5 close to the kiln 1, and the clamping groove 16 for inserting the limiting protrusion 15 is arranged on the clamping block 14. When the baffle 5 is installed on the kiln 1, the clamping block 14 is pressed on the extension plate 13 under the action of gravity, at this time, the clamping groove 16 covers the limiting protrusion 15, so as to avoid the baffle 5 sliding along the plate surface of the extension plate 13 to the direction away from the kiln 1 as far as possible. When it is needed to disassemble the baffle 5 from the kiln 1, the baffle 5 is driven to rise to the position where the clamping groove 16 no longer covers the limiting protrusion 15, and then the baffle 5 is driven to move to the direction away from the kiln 1. In order to further facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the baffle 5, two lifting openings 10 are arranged on the baffle 5. In the embodiment, the lifting opening 10 is a hole structure penetrating through the baffle 5, and in other embodiments, the lifting opening 10 can also be a recess structure recessed along the thickness direction of the baffle 5 relative to the plate surface of the baffle 5.

[0036] In other embodiments, the baffle 5 can also be detachably arranged on the kiln 1 through a bolt structure or a clamp.

[0037] Further, in order to facilitate the air flow at the input end of the air pump 11 when air is conveyed into the kiln 1, an air inlet 12 aligned with the input end of the air pump 11 is arranged on the baffle 5. Figure 1

[0038] The implementation principle of the roller kiln in the embodiment is as follows: when it is needed to perform firing on the full material box, the box is placed on the roller bar 2, and then is conveyed into the cavity of the kiln 1 under the driving of the rotation of the plurality of roller bars 2, at this time, the heating device 3 heats the cavity of the kiln 1 to a suitable temperature. When one of the plurality of roller bars 2 is broken, the end of the roller bar 2 is lifted, the lifted end of the roller bar 2 blocks the emitter 41 and the receiver 42 of the opposite type photoelectric sensor, at this time, the opposite type photoelectric sensor transmits an abnormal signal to the external control system to alarm the worker, the worker checks the position of the roller bar 2 with the lifted end from the window of the baffle 5, then lifts the baffle 5 at the corresponding position through the lifting opening 10 and moves the baffle 5 to the direction away from the kiln 1, so as to disassemble the baffle 5, and finally the broken roller bar 2 is replaced, which reduces the workload of the worker for periodic inspection, shortens the response time of the worker when the roller bar 2 is broken, and improves the processing efficiency when the roller bar 2 is broken.
