[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a dual-track positioning rotary kiln 2 calcined sand automatic transfer device is disclosed, including a ground track 1, an overhead track 4, a material tank transport vehicle 5, and a crane 7; the ground track 1 is located on the ground between the rotary kiln 2 and the furnace top silo 3; the overhead track 4 is located above the ground track 1 and parallel to the ground track 1; the material tank transport vehicle 5 is installed on the ground track 1; the material tank transport vehicle 5 is equipped with a material tank 6 for holding calcined sand, and the inner wall of the material tank 6 is provided with a lining insulation layer 8; the crane 7 is installed on the overhead track 4;

[0030] The material tank transport vehicle 5 includes a main trolley 51 and an auxiliary trolley 52. ​​When the main trolley 51 malfunctions, it can be quickly switched to the auxiliary trolley 52 to ensure continuous operation of the production line. Both the ground track 1 and the overhead track 4 are U-shaped tracks. The rotary kiln 2 and the furnace top hopper 3 are located on opposite sides of the transverse straight tracks on the U-shaped tracks. The longitudinal straight tracks on both sides of the U-shaped tracks are used to store either the malfunctioning main trolley 51 or the auxiliary trolley 52, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the malfunctioning vehicle.

[0031] Both the material tanker 5 and the crane 7 are equipped with a positioning system based on the Gray bus principle. The positioning system enables the material tanker 5 and the crane 7 to operate automatically and with high precision on their respective tracks. The material tanker 5 and the crane 7 work together to achieve continuous and efficient transfer of calcined sand from the rotary kiln 2 to the furnace top silo 3.

[0032] The positioning system includes a Gray busbar, a signal receiving device, and a control device. The Gray busbar is laid beside the track, and the signal receiving device is installed on the tanker truck 5 and the crane 7. The signal receiving device receives the signal emitted by the Gray busbar and transmits it to the control device. The control device controls the operation of the tanker truck 5 and the crane 7 according to the signal to achieve high-precision positioning.

[0033] Gray busbar positioning technology is a non-contact position detection technology based on electromagnetic coupling, mainly used for the automation of large mobile machinery in industrial production. Its working principle involves communication through electromagnetic coupling between closely spaced flat Gray busbars and an antenna box, while simultaneously detecting the position of the antenna box along the length of the Gray busbar.

[0034] The Gray busbar positioning system, through the coordinated operation of the Gray busbar, signal receiving device, and control device, enables high-precision automatic operation of the material tanker 5 and crane 7 on their respective tracks. Compared to traditional positioning methods, it has smaller positioning errors, ensuring accurate transportation and loading / unloading of the material tank 6, reducing material spillage and equipment collisions caused by positioning deviations, and improving the accuracy and reliability of transfer. This positioning system, combined with an automated control system, achieves unmanned operation of the transfer process. Workers no longer need to perform manual positioning and operation in high-temperature and complex environments, reducing labor intensity, improving the working environment, and minimizing safety risks caused by human error, thus improving production safety and stability. The Gray busbar positioning technology is highly adaptable to the environment, operating stably even in harsh industrial production environments such as high temperatures and dust, ensuring the normal operation of the positioning system, providing reliable positioning assurance for calcined sand transfer, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the entire transfer system.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lining insulation layer 8 includes an adhesive layer 81, a heat insulation layer 82, a high-temperature resistant layer 83, and a wear-resistant layer 84 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0036] The adhesive layer 81 is bonded to the inner wall of the material tank 6. The heat insulation layer 82 is made of ceramic fiber felt or rock wool board. The high-temperature resistant layer 83 is made of high-alumina refractory brick or corundum mullite brick. The wear-resistant layer 84 is made of silicon carbide wear-resistant material to form a wear-resistant coating or wear-resistant brick. The adhesive layer 81 uses a high-temperature adhesive. Made of high-temperature resistant and heat-insulating materials, it can effectively reduce the heat loss of calcined sand in the material tank 6, improve energy utilization efficiency, and extend the service life of the material tank 6.

[0037] The lining insulation layer 8 consists of an adhesive layer 81, a heat insulation layer 82, a high-temperature resistant layer 83, and a wear-resistant layer 84, with each layer having a clearly defined function. The heat insulation layer 82 is made of materials such as ceramic fiber felt or rock wool board, which have a low thermal conductivity and effectively block the heat from the calcined sand from being transferred to the outer wall of the material tank 6. The high-temperature resistant layer 83 is made of materials such as high-alumina refractory bricks, which can withstand high temperatures and have strong thermal shock resistance, preventing high temperatures from damaging the material tank 6. The combination of the two significantly reduces heat loss, improves energy utilization efficiency, and reduces production energy consumption.

[0038] The wear-resistant layer 84 is made of wear-resistant materials such as silicon carbide, which can reduce frictional loss during the loading, unloading and transfer of calcined sand; the high-temperature resistant layer 83 resists high-temperature erosion; and the adhesive layer 81 ensures that all layers are tightly bonded. These structures work together to enhance the adaptability of the material tank 6 to high-temperature and wear conditions, reduce the frequency of damage to the material tank 6, extend the service life of the material tank 6, and reduce equipment replacement and maintenance costs.

[0039] Both the ground track 1 and the overhead track 4 are made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials with smooth surfaces to reduce resistance during the operation of the tanker truck 5 and the crane 7, thereby improving transfer efficiency. Smoother equipment operation reduces energy consumption, shortens the operation time per vehicle, improves the efficiency of calcined sand transfer, accelerates production, and increases overall capacity. The high-strength, wear-resistant materials give the tracks excellent wear and deformation resistance, enabling them to withstand the heavy pressure and friction of the tanker truck 5 and crane 7 during long-term operation, reducing wear and damage, extending track service life, lowering maintenance and replacement costs, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the transfer system.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the difference between this embodiment and the previous one is that the lining insulation layer 8 includes an adhesive layer 81, a heat insulation layer 82, a wear-resistant layer 84, and a high-temperature resistant layer 83 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0042] The automatic transfer device for roasted sand in the rotary kiln 2, with dual-track positioning, employs a dual-track design. The ground track 1 and overhead track 4 have clearly defined functions, with the material tank transport vehicle 5 and crane 7 operating on their respective tracks without interference. The configuration of the main trolley 51 and auxiliary trolley 52 allows for rapid switching to the auxiliary trolley 52 when the main trolley 51 malfunctions. The auxiliary trolley 52, along with the longitudinal straight tracks on both sides of the U-shaped track, stores the faulty vehicle without affecting the overall transfer process. This prevents production line shutdowns due to equipment failure, ensuring continuous and stable production and minimizing economic losses from downtime.

[0043] The overhead track 4 is located above and parallel to the ground track 1, making full use of the three-dimensional space. Compared with the single track layout, it achieves a reasonable arrangement of equipment in a limited space, which not only meets the transportation needs, but also does not occupy too much ground space, and facilitates other production activities in the factory and equipment installation and maintenance.

[0044] The longitudinal straight tracks on both sides of the U-shaped track are specifically designed to store the main trolley 51 or auxiliary trolley 52 that has malfunctioned, providing a dedicated area for inspection and maintenance. Equipment can be quickly moved to this area in case of failure, avoiding the chaos and safety hazards caused by maintenance on the production line, while also facilitating centralized maintenance by technical personnel and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
