[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 This invention describes the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure and the rotary kiln provided by this utility model.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: kiln inlet support 100, fire-resistant protection structure 200, kiln inlet anchoring structure 300, castable material 400, and flexible pad 500.
[0031] The refractory protection structure 200 includes multiple refractory brick units 210 arranged adjacent to each other along a first direction, and each refractory brick unit 210 includes multiple refractory bricks 211 arranged adjacent to each other along a second direction; the kiln mouth anchoring structure 300 includes multiple anchors 310, which are located on the kiln mouth support 100; the castable material 400 is filled between the kiln mouth support 100 and the refractory protection structure 200, and the kiln mouth anchoring structure 300 is anchored within the castable material 400; an expansion joint is provided between the castable material 400 and the outermost refractory brick unit 210; and a flexible pad 500 is located within the expansion joint.
[0032] It should be noted that the aforementioned "first direction" specifically refers to Figure 1 The arrow direction shown above, specifically the "second direction" refers to... Figure 2 The arrow direction is shown.
[0033] The rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure provided by this utility model eliminates the traditional method of using retaining brick rings to rigidly limit the refractory bricks 211 in rotary kilns. The refractory protection structure 200 is flexibly connected to the castable material 400 through a flexible pad 500, which can reduce mechanical and thermal stress damage to the refractory bricks 211, thereby extending the service life of the refractory protection structure 200 and the castable material 400, thus achieving the effect of reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure provided by this utility model has a simple process and is easy to construct.
[0034] Specifically, when the refractory bricks 211 in the refractory protection structure 200 are subjected to large thermal and mechanical stresses, the flexible pad 500 located between the refractory protection structure 200 and the castable 400 can play a buffering role, absorbing and dispersing these stresses, thereby reducing the pressure and deformation on the refractory bricks 211 and the castable 400.
[0035] To adapt to high-temperature working environments, the flexible mat 500 is preferably made of high-temperature refractory materials, such as ceramic fiber felt, rock wool felt, glass fiber felt, silicone fiber felt or aluminum silicate fiber felt, etc., all of which have excellent high-temperature resistance. In addition, the flexible mat 500 can be configured as flexible felt, flexible board or flexible blanket according to actual needs.
[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the expansion joint is 3mm to 7mm.
[0037] By setting the width of the expansion joint to 3mm to 7mm, it is possible to effectively cope with the expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, reduce structural stress, maintain structural stability, and ensure the stability of the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure in environments with large temperature differences.
[0038] Specifically, the width of the expansion joint can be 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, or 7mm, etc. Preferably, the width of the expansion joint in this embodiment is 5mm.
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the flexible pad 500 is 3mm to 7mm.
[0040] By setting the thickness of the flexible pad 500 to 3mm to 7mm, the stress between the fire-resistant protective structure 200 and the castable material 400 can be effectively absorbed and buffered, reducing stress concentration caused by temperature changes, vibration or mechanical pressure, thereby avoiding structural damage or cracks.
[0041] Specifically, the thickness of the flexible pad 500 can be 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, or 7mm, etc. Preferably, the thickness of the flexible pad 500 in this embodiment is 5mm.
[0042] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure also includes a temporary brick retaining structure 600. When the refractory protection structure 200 is stacked, the temporary brick retaining structure 600 is provided on the kiln inlet support 100, and one side of the temporary brick retaining structure 600 abuts against the outermost refractory brick unit 210.
[0043] By setting up a temporary brick retaining structure 600, the refractory protection structure 200 can be limited during its construction, ensuring that the refractory brick units 210 maintain the correct position and stability during the stacking process. This allows for precise control of the stacking process and prevents structural displacement or instability caused by errors or uneven stacking. Furthermore, the temporary brick retaining structure 600 effectively supports and fixes the refractory brick units 210, preventing displacement or loosening during construction, thereby improving construction efficiency and ensuring the safety and durability of the kiln enclosure structure.
[0044] It should be noted that once the fire-resistant protective structure 200 is completed, the temporary retaining brick structure 600 can be removed. After removal, the fire-resistant protective structure 200 will be completely self-stabilized and able to withstand the stress and heat load during normal operation. Furthermore, the removal of the temporary retaining brick structure 600 will not affect the overall stability of the fire-resistant protective structure 200.
[0045] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the temporary retaining brick structure 600 is an angle steel or an I-beam.
[0046] By setting the temporary brick retaining structure 600 as angle steel or I-beam, stronger support and structural stability can be provided, thus effectively limiting its position during the stacking of the fire-resistant protective structure 200.
[0047] Specifically, angle steel or I-beams possess high strength and rigidity, effectively resisting the mechanical pressure and stress generated during the stacking of the fire-resistant protective structure 200. This ensures that the firebrick units 210 remain in a fixed position during stacking, preventing displacement or deformation. Furthermore, the structural form of angle steel or I-beams makes the temporary retaining brick structure 600 more robust and durable, capable of withstanding greater external forces and extending its service life. During dismantling, these steel structures are easy to operate and disassemble, minimizing disruption to subsequent work and improving construction efficiency.
[0048] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the temporary brick retaining structure 600 is welded to the kiln mouth support 100.
[0049] By configuring the temporary brick retaining structure 600 and the kiln mouth support 100 to be welded together, the fixation and overall stability between the two can be enhanced.
[0050] Specifically, the welded connection provides a robust link, ensuring that the temporary retaining brick structure 600 does not loosen or shift during the stacking of the refractory protection structure 200. The welded connection forms a solid whole between the temporary retaining brick structure 600 and the kiln mouth support 100, better distributing and transferring external pressure and stress, thereby ensuring the precise positioning of the refractory brick unit 210. Furthermore, the welded connection simplifies the construction process, reduces the complexity that may arise when using temporary supports, and improves work efficiency.
[0051] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the anchor 310 is connected to the outermost refractory brick unit 210.
[0052] By connecting at least some of the anchors 310 to the outermost refractory brick unit 210, the anchors 310 can provide additional fixation and support to the refractory protection structure 200, preventing the refractory protection structure 200 from shifting or falling off during subsequent use, thereby improving the overall stability and safety of the refractory protection structure 200. In addition, this connection method can also enhance the structure's resistance to thermal expansion, vibration and other external pressures, ensuring that the refractory brick unit 210 maintains stability and long-term performance in high-temperature environments.
[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the anchor 310 includes a connecting part and at least one anchoring arm, the anchoring arm being connected to the connecting part, and the connecting part being welded to the kiln mouth support 100.
[0054] By welding the connecting portion of the anchor 310 to the kiln mouth support 100, a stable connection is ensured between the anchor 310 and the kiln mouth support 100, effectively transferring the force of the anchor arm to the kiln mouth support 100. The connection between the anchor arm and the connecting portion further enhances the fixing force between the refractory brick unit 210 and the supporting structure, improving the stability of the refractory protective layer. Thus, the anchor 310 can provide continuous support when the refractory brick unit 210 is subjected to thermal expansion, external stress, or vibration, preventing displacement or detachment of the refractory brick unit 210 and ensuring the safety and durability of the overall structure.
[0055] The construction process of the rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure provided by this utility model is described below. (See attached diagram.) Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0057] Constructing the fire-resistant protective structure 200: Construct the first fire-resistant brick unit 210 (the first fire-resistant brick unit 210 is the fire-resistant brick unit 210 adjacent to the temporary retaining brick structure 600) on one side. After completion, construct the subsequent fire-resistant brick units 210 in sequence to form the fire-resistant protective structure 200. After the fire-resistant protective structure 200 is constructed, remove the temporary retaining brick structure 600.
[0058] Attaching flexible pad 500: Attach a flexible pad 500 of a set thickness to the outer wall of the first refractory brick unit 210 facing the kiln opening. The flexible pad 500 is preferably made of ceramic fiber felt, rock wool felt, glass fiber felt, silicone fiber felt or aluminum silicate fiber felt, etc., and the thickness is preferably 3mm to 7mm.
[0059] Welded kiln opening anchorage structure 300: Anchors 310 adopt a kiln opening-specific design model. Some anchors 310 are connected to the outermost refractory brick unit 210. This part of the anchors 310 needs to be welded more densely and the welding quality must be ensured.
[0060] Material casting: High-strength castable refractory specifically for kiln openings is used. During casting, construction is carried out in groups according to the protective iron. When setting up the formwork, a 5mm thick flexible pad is used with 500mm reserved expansion joints, and a 50mm diameter vibrator is used for compaction. After casting one set of molds, wait for the material to harden. Continue installing the next set of molds, casting, and vibrating until the entire cast material is completed.

[0064] (3) The rotary kiln inlet enclosure structure provided by this utility model adopts segmented casting of the kiln inlet castable, which can reduce the amount of water added to the castable, which is conducive to full vibration and improves the density and erosion resistance of the castable.
