Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-6 The ventilation mechanism for a tunnel kiln in this embodiment includes a tunnel kiln 1 and a ventilation mechanism. The ventilation mechanism includes a smoke exhaust unit 2, a combustion-supporting unit 3 and a waste gas treatment structure 4. The smoke exhaust unit 2, the combustion-supporting unit 3 and the waste gas treatment structure 4 are all installed on the tunnel kiln 1, and the smoke exhaust unit 2 and the waste gas treatment structure 4 are connected to each other.
[0024] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-6Based on Embodiment 1, the exhaust gas treatment structure 4 includes a filter box 41, an activated carbon filter 42, a support platform 43, two dust collection boxes 44, a stepper motor 45, a gear 46, and a splash guard 47. The filter box 41 is fixedly installed on the top of the tunnel kiln 1, the activated carbon filter 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the filter box 41, the support platform 43 is slidably installed in the filter box 41, the two dust collection boxes 44 are detachably installed on the support platform 43 and contain dust collection solution, the stepper motor 45 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the filter box 41, the gear 46 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the stepper motor 45 and meshes with the support platform 43, and the splash guard 47 is installed in the filter box 41 to prevent the dust collection solution from splashing.
[0025] The support platform 43 includes a double-cavity mounting platform 431, a rack 433, and two anti-detachment blocks 432. The two anti-detachment blocks 432 are fixedly installed on both sides of the double-cavity mounting platform 431, and the two dust collection boxes 44 are installed in the two chambers of the double-cavity mounting platform 431. The rack 433 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the double-cavity mounting platform 431 and meshes with the gear 46. The stepper motor 45 is started and drives the gear 46 to rotate, thereby driving the support platform 43 to move through the rack 433, thus controlling the horizontal movement of the two dust collection boxes 44.
[0026] In addition, both sides of the filter box 41 are provided with through grooves that are compatible with the dust collection box 44. The inner bottom wall of both through grooves is provided with guide grooves that are compatible with the size of the support platform 43. The cooperation of the guide grooves and the anti-detachment block 432 ensures that after the rack 433 moves to the maximum distance, the anti-detachment block 432 is pressed against one side of the filter box 41, thereby limiting the smooth sliding of the support platform 43, preventing derailment, and improving the stability and durability of the mechanical structure.
[0027] Using the above technical solution, when the dust-suppressing solution in one of the dust-suppressing boxes 44 reaches saturation, the stepper motor 45 meshes with the rack 433 at the bottom of the support platform 43 through the gear 46, driving the support platform 43 to slide horizontally in the filter box 41, thereby controlling the other dust-suppressing box 44 to move into the interior of the filter box 41, and then controlling the cover plate 471 to cover the top of the dust-suppressing box 44, thereby inserting the end of the high-temperature corrugated pipe into the dust-suppressing solution, realizing a continuous working mode of "one in use and one in standby", avoiding the interruption of exhaust gas treatment due to shutdown.
[0028] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1-6 Based on Embodiment 2, the splash-proof assembly 47 includes a cover plate 471 and two electric push rods 472. The two electric push rods 472 are respectively fixedly installed inside the filter box 41. The cover plate 471 is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 472. The size of the cover plate 471 is adapted to the top opening of the dust collection box 44.
[0029] The exhaust unit 2 includes an air duct, a high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe, and an exhaust fan. The air duct is connected to the exhaust fan and the tunnel kiln 1 respectively. The exhaust fan is fixedly installed on the top of the tunnel kiln 1. The high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the exhaust fan. One end of the high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe extends into the interior of the filter box 41. The high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe can be easily moved out of the dust collection box 44 by utilizing its extensibility.
[0030] In addition, the cover plate 471 has multiple exhaust holes and a connecting groove. One end of the high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe passes through the connecting groove and extends into the dust settling solution inside the dust settling box 44. The high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting groove. The cover plate 471 cooperates with the electric push rod 472 to accurately cover the dust settling box 44 during exhaust gas treatment. The airflow direction is controlled by the exhaust holes to prevent solution splashing and contaminating the inside of the equipment, while ensuring the gas-liquid contact area and purification efficiency.
[0031] Using the above technical solution, the exhaust unit 2 extracts the high-temperature exhaust gas from the tunnel kiln 1 through the air duct and exhaust fan, and transports it to the filter box 41 of the exhaust gas treatment structure 4 through the high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe. The end of the high-temperature resistant corrugated pipe passes through the connecting groove of the cover plate 471 and is inserted into the dust settling solution in the dust settling box 44, so that the exhaust gas bubbles out of the solution under pressure. The dust settling solution can capture dust particles and some harmful impurities in the exhaust gas, and achieve preliminary purification through the wet dust removal principle.
[0032] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0033] In use, the ventilation mechanism for the tunnel kiln uses the exhaust unit 2 to extract the high-temperature exhaust gas from the tunnel kiln 1 through the duct and exhaust fan. The exhaust gas is then transported through the high-temperature corrugated pipe to the filter box 41 of the exhaust gas treatment structure 4. The end of the high-temperature corrugated pipe passes through the connecting groove of the cover plate 471 and is inserted into the dust settling solution in the dust settling box 44. This causes the exhaust gas to bubble out of the solution under pressure. The dust settling solution can capture dust particles and some harmful impurities in the exhaust gas, achieving preliminary purification through the wet dust removal principle.
[0034] The electric push rod 472 of the splash shield 47 drives the cover plate 471 to cover the top of the dust collection box 44, allowing treated exhaust gas to pass through only through the exhaust port, while preventing solution from splashing out;
[0035] When the dust settling solution in one of the dust settling boxes 44 reaches saturation, the control cover 471 rises and moves out of the end of the high-temperature corrugated pipe. The stepper motor 45 meshes with the rack 433 at the bottom of the support platform 43 through the gear 46, driving the support platform 43 to slide horizontally in the filter box 41, thereby controlling the other dust settling box 44 to move into the interior of the filter box 41. Then, the control cover 471 covers the top of the dust settling box 44, thereby inserting the end of the high-temperature corrugated pipe into the dust settling solution, realizing a continuous working mode of "one in use and one in standby", avoiding the interruption of exhaust gas treatment by shutdown.
[0036] The exhaust gas, after preliminary treatment with the dust-suppressing solution, overflows through the exhaust hole of the cover plate 471 and enters the filter box 41. It then passes through the activated carbon filter screen 42 for adsorption and purification, removing organic pollutants, odors, etc. from the exhaust gas, and finally meets the emission standards or is recycled.
