Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile production equipment, and in particular to a protective baffle structure for use in a brick blank dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the brick drying process is a crucial step in tile production. This is typically done using a brick dryer, which usually consists of a furnace body and a conveyor roller assembly. The furnace body has a through-type drying chamber, and the conveyor roller assembly is positioned within this chamber to move the bricks from one opening to another. Heat is generated within the drying chamber to dry the bricks. However, the high temperatures required during drying generate a significant amount of heat within the chamber, potentially leading to overheating of the furnace. Since the furnace body lacks any protective structure on its outer wall, workers are susceptible to burns from accidental contact. Furthermore, the furnace surface directly exchanges heat with the surrounding air, which is further affected by worker movement and ventilation systems, resulting in substantial heat loss. This not only leads to ineffective drying but also increases energy consumption for heat generation, ultimately raising production costs. Therefore, it is essential to design a protective baffle structure for brick blank dryers to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems and deficiencies, and to provide a protective baffle structure for a brick blank dryer. This protective baffle structure for a brick blank dryer can not only play a safety protection role, but also help reduce heat loss, thereby improving the safety of use and reducing heat loss, and thus helping to reduce the cost of brick blank drying.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A protective baffle structure for a brick blank dryer includes a dryer body, characterized in that it also includes a cover baffle and two positioning brackets, the two positioning brackets being arranged side by side on the outer wall of the dryer body, the left and right ends of the cover baffle being detachably hooked onto the positioning brackets, and a heat insulation gap being reserved between the cover baffle and the side wall of the dryer body.
[0006] Preferably, the cover plate has at least one operating hole that allows only a single finger to enter.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the cover plate is provided with a hook block, and the cover plate is hooked onto the positioning bracket by the hook block.
[0008] Preferably, the hook block includes an integrally formed vertical piece and an inclined piece. The vertical piece is fixed on the inner wall of the cover baffle, and the inclined piece is located on the lower end of the vertical piece, so that the inclined piece gradually moves away from the cover baffle from top to bottom. The inclined piece is hooked onto the positioning bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the vertical plate and the inclined plate are an integral stainless steel structure.
[0010] Preferably, a locking screw is provided on the outer wall of the cover plate, and the threaded end of the locking screw passes through the cover plate and is screwed onto the vertical plate.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning bracket includes an integral transverse piece and two longitudinal pieces, the two longitudinal pieces are arranged side by side, and the rear ends of the two longitudinal pieces are connected to the outer wall of the dryer body. The left and right ends of the transverse piece are respectively connected to the front ends of the two longitudinal pieces, and the hook block is hooked onto the transverse piece.
[0012] Preferably, the rear end of the longitudinal strip is bent to form a connecting piece that abuts against the dryer body, and the connecting piece is welded and fixed or locked to the dryer body by screws.
[0013] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the covering baffle are curved inward to form a covering portion.
[0014] Preferably, the covering baffle is a stainless steel baffle.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This protective baffle structure can be used in areas of the brick dryer where the insulation is relatively weak, thus providing insulation protection and preventing workers from being accidentally burned. Furthermore, it reduces external heat exchange, thereby reducing heat loss and improving operational safety, ultimately lowering the cost of drying the bricks. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the protective baffle structure for a brick blank dryer of this utility model includes a dryer body 1. To achieve the purpose of this utility model, it also includes a cover baffle 2 and two positioning brackets 3. The two positioning brackets 3 are arranged side by side on the outer wall of the dryer body 1. The left and right ends of the cover baffle 2 can be detachably hooked onto the positioning brackets 3. A heat insulation gap 10 is reserved between the cover baffle 2 and the side wall of the dryer body 1.
[0022] This type of protective baffle structure can be used in areas of the brick dryer where the insulation is weak, providing insulation protection and preventing workers from being accidentally burned. Furthermore, it reduces external heat exchange, thus minimizing heat loss and improving safety, ultimately reducing brick drying costs.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in practical use, this protective baffle structure is mainly applied to areas with weak heat insulation in brick dryers, such as the outer side of the processing port. The processing port is located on the lower outer wall of the furnace body and extends into the drying chamber. It handles particles and lumps falling from the bricks on the conveyor roller assembly. These particles and lumps carry significant heat, and the space inside the processing port is also affected by heat, resulting in considerable heat exposure at the port. Currently, most processing ports are only covered by a thin metal cover plate 20, which is prone to overheating and excessive heat dissipation, leading to reduced safety and increased drying costs. Placing the protective baffle structure on the outer side of the metal cover plate 20 and providing shielding improves safety and reduces drying costs. Furthermore, the cover baffle 2 is easy to install and remove, thus avoiding any impact on the cleaning of particulate matter and blocky objects through the processing port, thereby perfectly meeting normal usage needs.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the actual manufacturing process, in order to reduce the convenience of assembling, disassembling, packaging and transferring the cover baffle 2, the cover baffle 2 can be made into a plate with a length of less than 1.5 meters and more than 0.5 meters. Multiple cover baffles 2 can be hung horizontally side by side on the outer wall of the dryer body 1 to protect the brick blank dryer. This can better meet the needs of actual use.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the cover plate 2 has at least one operating hole 21 that allows only a single finger to enter. This facilitates lifting and disassembly, as well as hooking operations, thereby improving the ease of disassembly of the cover plate 2. It also effectively controls heat loss, thus achieving the goal of reducing heat loss.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a hook block 22 is provided on the inner wall of the cover baffle 2, and the cover baffle 2 is hooked onto the positioning bracket 3 through the hook block 22. This facilitates a good hooking effect, thereby helping to improve the stability and reliability of the installation and positioning of the cover baffle 2.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hook block 22 includes an integrally formed vertical piece 221 and an inclined piece 222. The vertical piece 221 is fixed to the inner wall of the cover baffle 2, and the inclined piece 222 is located at the lower end of the vertical piece 221, gradually moving away from the cover baffle 2 from top to bottom. The inclined piece 222 is hooked onto the positioning bracket 3. This hook block 22 is very simple and reliable, which not only helps control the manufacturing difficulty but also improves the convenience and stability of hooking the hook block 22.
[0028] The vertical piece 221 and the inclined piece 222 are integral stainless steel structures. This not only gives the hook block 22 high structural strength but also high durability, thereby helping to further improve the reliability and applicability of the protective baffle structure.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a locking screw 23 is provided on the outer wall of the cover plate 2. The threaded end of the locking screw 23 passes through the cover plate 2 and is screwed onto the vertical piece 221. This facilitates the stable and quick installation and positioning of the hook block 22, thereby helping the hook block 22 to achieve a more stable and reliable hooking effect.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning bracket 3 includes an integral transverse piece 31 and two longitudinal pieces 32. The two longitudinal pieces 32 are arranged side by side, with their rear ends connected to the outer wall of the dryer body 1. The left and right ends of the transverse piece 31 are respectively connected to the front ends of the two longitudinal pieces 32. The hook block 22 is hooked onto the transverse piece 31. This positioning bracket 3 not only has a simple structure but also provides good support and limiting for the hook block 22, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the installation and positioning of the cover baffle 2.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the longitudinal piece 32 is bent to form a connecting piece 33 that abuts against the dryer body 1. The connecting piece 33 is welded and fixed to the dryer body 1 or locked with screws. This helps to further improve the stability and reliability of the positioning bracket 3 during installation, thereby contributing to further improving the reliability and applicability of the protective baffle structure.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a positioning bracket 3 can be used to attach two adjacent cover plates 2, which helps to reduce manufacturing difficulty.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the cover baffle 2 are curved inward to form a cover portion 24, and a gripping gap 30 is reserved between the cover portion 24 and the outer wall of the dryer body 1. The cover portion 24 can further reduce heat exchange, thereby further reducing heat loss. It also provides a gripping surface, thus improving the ease of handling and assembling the cover portion 24.
[0034] The cover baffle 2 is made of stainless steel. This not only gives the cover baffle 2 high structural strength, but also high durability, thereby helping to further improve the reliability and applicability of the protective baffle structure.
