Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature calcination technology of powders, specifically an indirect heating high-temperature atmosphere vertical furnace. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrialization, high-temperature calcination technology plays a crucial role in many fields, especially in industries such as ceramics, metallurgy, and chemicals, involving the high-temperature treatment and calcination of powder materials. Traditional high-temperature calcination equipment, such as rotary kilns and tunnel kilns, has been widely used in these fields, providing large production capacities, but it also has some significant drawbacks.

[0003] Rotary kilns and tunnel kilns typically require a large floor area. Due to their operating principles and structural design, these devices often require long operating times and significant space to complete the calcination process, placing higher demands on plant space planning and equipment layout. Furthermore, traditional equipment often faces substantial heat loss during high-temperature calcination, particularly heat dissipation and uneven distribution, resulting in low energy efficiency and increased operating costs.

[0004] Rotary kilns and tunnel kilns have low filling rates. Due to design limitations, powder materials have a longer residence time in the furnace and are often unevenly distributed, leading to reduced calcination efficiency. Furthermore, the rolling motion of rotary kilns and the fixed structure of tunnel kilns make material movement within the furnace more complex, making it difficult to achieve uniform heating, thus affecting product quality and production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop an indirect heating high-temperature atmosphere vertical furnace. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an indirect heating high-temperature atmosphere vertical furnace to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0020] The upper end of the material storage tube is connected to the feeding device and the pushing device by bolts, and the lower end is connected to the reducing pipe, the discharging device and the storage device by bolts.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, the heating rod is arranged in sections along the axial direction of the material storage tube, and the temperature of each section is independently controlled to form a temperature gradient of 800°C to 1400°C.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution, the insulation layer is composed of multiple layers of ceramic fiber boards, with air gaps between each layer to enhance the heat insulation effect.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, the gas introduced through the atmosphere inlet is nitrogen or an inert gas, used to isolate oxygen during the sintering process.

[0036] The pushing device 2 is connected to the feeding device 1 and is used to push the material to the material storage tube 3. The pushing device 2 can be a screw feeder with adjustable speed to match the feeding requirements of different materials and ensure the uniform distribution of materials in the vertical furnace.

[0037] The material storage pipe 3 is a vertical cylindrical container used to hold and transport materials. The upper end of the material storage pipe 3 is connected to the feeding device 1 and the pushing device 2 by bolts, and the lower end is connected to the reducing pipe 8, the discharging device 9 and the storage device 11 by bolts.

[0038] Heating rods 4 are distributed axially along the material storage tube 3 to provide a high-temperature heat source. Heating rods 4 can be arranged in sections, with the temperature of each section independently controlled, forming a temperature gradient of 800℃ to 1400℃ to meet the calcination requirements of different materials.

[0039] Insulation cotton 5 is wrapped around the outside of the material storage pipe 3 to reduce heat loss. The use of insulation cotton 5 can effectively reduce heat loss from the outside of the furnace and maintain the stability of the furnace temperature.

[0040] The insulation layer 6 is installed in multiple temperature zones of the material storage pipe 3 to achieve temperature gradient control. The insulation layer 6 can be composed of multiple layers of ceramic fiber boards, with air gaps between each layer to enhance the insulation effect.

[0041] The outer casing 7 is wrapped with insulation cotton 5 and a heat insulation layer 6 to form an integral structure. The outer layer of the outer casing 7 is coated with a high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, and the inside is filled with aluminum silicate insulation material to protect the internal structure and improve the overall durability of the equipment.

[0042] The reducer 8 is connected to the bottom of the material storage pipe 3 and is used to adjust the material flow rate. The diameter of the reducer 8 gradually decreases from top to bottom to accelerate the falling of material and distribute it evenly.

[0043] The discharge device 9 is connected to the reducer 8 and is used to discharge the sintered material. The discharge device 9 can be a screw conveyor or other type of discharge equipment to ensure that the material can be smoothly discharged from the vertical furnace.

The heating rod 4 starts working, providing a high-temperature heat source, and the materials are uniformly heated in the material storage tube 3. The heat insulation cotton 5 and the heat insulation layer 6 work together to reduce heat loss and maintain the stability of the furnace temperature. At the same time, a protective gas is introduced through the atmosphere inlet 10 to isolate oxygen and prevent the materials from oxidizing. After being calcined at high temperature in the material storage tube 3, the materials fall rapidly and are evenly distributed through the reducing pipe 8, and are finally discharged smoothly through the discharge device 9. The storage device 11 collects and temporarily stores the finished materials, ensuring that the discharge process is isolated from the external environment and preventing the materials from being contaminated. Throughout the process, by adjusting the rotation speed of the pushing device 2 and the temperature of the heating rod 4, flexible calcination of different materials can be achieved to meet production needs.
