AI Technical Summary
In existing hollow glass microsphere preparation devices, glass particles are prone to colliding with the furnace wall at high temperatures, resulting in a low yield. Furthermore, the burner design leads to insufficient mixing, affecting the bead formation rate and cooling speed.
The feed pipe, gas pipe and combustion-supporting pipe are arranged in a concentric set, and equipped with swirl vanes and flame channel design to ensure that the gas and combustion-supporting air are fully mixed. The inclined setting of the swirl vanes and the funnel-shaped structure of the flame channel control the flame temperature and the flow direction of the glass beads to avoid collision. The cyclone dust collector and induced draft fan accelerate the cooling.
This improved the mixing efficiency of gas and combustion air, resulting in a stable flame, which enhanced the bead formation rate and finished product quality of glass microspheres. It also prevented molten microspheres from colliding with the furnace wall, thus achieving highly efficient glass microsphere preparation.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the preparation field of glass microbeads, and particularly relates to a combustion device of a hollow bead spheroidizing furnace. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hollow glass microbeads are a kind of hollow glass spheres with small size, which have the advantages of light weight, heat insulation, sound insulation, high and low temperature resistance, good electric insulation and thermal stability, corrosion resistance, etc. They can not only be widely used as a new type of filling material in the plastic industry, but also be used as a lightening agent for low-density cement and drilling fluid to solve the problem of deep drilling.
[0003] In the prior art of the hollow glass microbead burner, a glass microbead continuous manufacturing device is disclosed in Chinese patent CN1396130A, which has a jet type burner in the microbead sintering furnace. Glass particles enter the flame from a direction perpendicular to the flame of the burner for sintering. Due to the influence of air flow, the movement of molten glass microbeads cannot be limited, and they are prone to collide with the high-temperature furnace wall or other devices, so that it is difficult to manufacture small-particle glass microbeads, and the bead formation rate is very low.
[0004] US3361549 also introduces a device for manufacturing glass microbeads, which mainly comprises a furnace body, a burner and a funnel-shaped microbead collector. The top and side wall of the furnace body are isolated from the atmosphere, the burner is arranged at the center of the bottom of the furnace body, the nozzle is upward, the combustion gas and glass particles enter the burner through two ports respectively, the combustion gas acts as a carrier to carry the glass particles into the combustion chamber for combustion, the glass particles are molten and gradually cooled into beads under the action of the air flow, the air flow is forced to diffuse around the top of the furnace, and then flows downward along the furnace wall, forming a buffer layer between the hot air flow and the furnace wall. The downward air flow carries the microbeads to fall into the funnel-shaped microbead collector through the lower end of the furnace body, and the waste gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere from above the funnel. Since the nozzle of the burner is upward, the microbeads move upward under the action of the jet force, and then turn downward under the influence of gravity and convection. The upward and downward microbeads collide in the high temperature, which causes the deformation of the microbeads and reduces the yield. At the same time, the temperature difference in the furnace body is small, the cooling speed of the microbeads is slow, and the molten body is prone to accumulate on the nozzle of the burner. In addition, the glass particles are supplied to the combustion chamber in the combustion gas, which makes the flame and the glass particles not in good contact, and tends to form glass particle clumps.
[0005] The burner disclosed in CN201250178Y patent has independent material channels, combustion gas channels and combustion air channels, and the directions of the swirl vanes are inconsistent. The mixing of combustion air and combustion gas is not sufficient, and the powder cannot pass through the flame sufficiently during spheroidizing, which leads to insufficient foaming. Moreover, the problem of material blockage does not occur, and the yield of hollow glass microbeads is low. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0022] Example
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a combustion device for a hollow spheroidizing furnace includes a hollow spheroidizing furnace body 1. A cyclone dust collector 10, a baghouse dust collector 11, and an induced draft fan 12 are sequentially connected to the top of the furnace body 1 via pipes. A heat exchanger is also installed inside the furnace wall of the hollow spheroidizing furnace body 1. The water-cooled heat exchanger is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0024] A set of burners 2 is installed at the bottom of the hollow spherical furnace body 1. The set of burners 2 consists of three burners distributed on the same circumference.
[0025] The burner 2 includes an outer cylinder 8, inside which are installed a feed pipe 3, a gas pipe 4 and an auxiliary gas pipe 6, which are concentrically mounted together. A set of swirl vanes 7 are evenly distributed on the gas pipe 4. The swirl vanes 7 are rectangular, and all the swirl vanes 7 are the same size and distributed at the same horizontal height. All the swirl vanes 7 are inclined to the same side on the outer wall of the gas pipe 4.
[0026] One end of the feed pipe 3 is connected to the feed system 13, the gas supply system 14 and the oxygen-enriched combustion system 15. The feed system 13, the gas supply system 14 and the oxygen-enriched combustion system 15 are all existing structures, and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] This ensures that the combustion gas and combustion air flow out concentrically, but the air swirls clockwise, causing vigorous agitation and promoting thorough mixing. The swirling air and combustion gas mix and burn simultaneously in the fire channel (mentioned below), which helps form a stable flame and provides a favorable space for the microsphere roasting.
[0028] A combustion pipe 5 is connected to one end of the combustion-supporting pipe 6. The combustion pipe 5 contains coaxially distributed flame channels 5a, which are funnel-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The flame channels 5a in the combustion pipe 5 are connected to the upper ends of the feed pipe 3 and the combustion-supporting air pipe 4. A gas inlet and a combustion-supporting air inlet are respectively located at the lower ends of the feed pipe 3 and the combustion-supporting air pipe 4. A baffle 9 is provided at the upper ends of the feed pipe 3 and the combustion-supporting air pipe 4. Example
[0029] The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, a set of swirl vanes 7 are evenly distributed on the gas pipe 4, the swirl vanes 7 are rectangular, each of the swirl vanes 7 is the same size and is inclined to the same side, and the set of swirl vanes 7 are distributed from low to high on the outer wall of the gas pipe 4, that is, in a rotating staircase shape. Compared with embodiment 1, such a setting can achieve the same effect as embodiment 1 with fewer swirl vanes.
