Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and molds for lead smelting, and in particular to a short kiln capable of continuously feeding lead. Background Technology

[0002] Short kilns are a common tooling in lead smelting processes. Their main function is to smelt lead-containing materials into crude reduced lead and release low-lead waste slag. The conventional process involves first adding lead-containing materials and auxiliary materials into the furnace, then rotating the furnace and starting heating for the lead smelting stage. When the furnace temperature reaches 800℃~900℃, approximately 90% of the lead is released, with the remaining lead elements remaining in a semi-solid state as high-lead slag. Heating continues for the slag refining stage. When the furnace temperature reaches 1100℃~1200℃, the remaining lead is released, and the remainder is the low-lead waste slag.

[0003] In actual production, although the slag refining process only releases about 10% of the total lead, its time and energy consumption account for 20% to 30% of a complete production cycle. There are two reasons for the low heat utilization rate in the slag refining process: ① The furnace temperature is high during slag refining, resulting in significant heat waste through the furnace walls; ② When lead is discharged after slag refining, the lead temperature reaches approximately 1100℃ (compared to approximately 800℃ during lead refining), leading to energy waste. Furthermore, because lead and slag coexist throughout the slag refining process, the lead content in the slag cannot be kept to a low level, generally ranging from 5% to 7%.

[0004] Due to the inherent laws governing reaction temperature, reason ① is unavoidable. Regarding reason ②, some recycled lead plants have adopted a two-stage lead-addition operation during the slag-refining stage, adding lead once during slag refining and once at the end of the process. This reduces the lead-addition temperature during the slag-refining stage and shortens the contact time between lead and slag, thus improving thermal efficiency. However, this method requires an additional lead-addition step, during which the furnace cannot rotate, wasting extra manpower and yielding only a minor improvement in thermal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of low thermal efficiency in the slag refining process of traditional short kiln smelting and the defects of the secondary lead discharge mode in the slag refining process. It provides a short kiln that can continuously discharge lead.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, a short kiln capable of continuous lead feeding includes a furnace body 1, a furnace door 2, an operating platform 7, a flatbed cart 9, and lead ladles 8. The furnace body 1 is a horizontally placed hollow cylinder with a front furnace opening 3 and a rear furnace opening 4 on its two bottom surfaces. A movable furnace door 2 is located on the outer side of the front furnace opening 3. Two symmetrical lead feeding ports 5 and slag feeding ports 6 are located in the middle of the side of the furnace body 1. The operating platform 7 is located below the side of the furnace body. The flatbed cart 9 is located below the furnace body 1 and can slide along a track perpendicular to the axis of the furnace body 1. The lead ladles 8 are placed above the flatbed cart 9. Traction motors connected to the left and right sides of the flatbed cart 9 by chains are used to set the working speed of the traction motors according to the rotation speed of the furnace body 1 to ensure that the upper end of the lead ladles 8 catches the lead prematurely fed from the slag feeding ports. The chains and traction motors constitute the traction device.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the furnace body 1 can rotate freely, with a maximum short-term rotation speed of 40 s / revolution and a maximum long-term rotation speed of 75 s / revolution. Its internal length L is 4800 mm to 5100 mm, and its inner diameter D is 2900 mm to 3000 mm. The front furnace opening 3 at the bottom of the furnace body 1 is used for adding raw and auxiliary materials, with an inner diameter D1 of 750 mm to 850 mm. The rear furnace opening 4 connects to the settling chamber for treating smelting fumes, with an inner diameter D2 of 600 mm to 750 mm. The furnace door 2 is a flat cylindrical shape with a diameter D3 of 900 mm to 1050 mm. A connecting rod at the top suspends it on a movable slide for controlling the opening and closing of the furnace door 2. The lead discharge port 5 and slag discharge port 6 are the same size; one is used for lead discharge during production, and the other for slag discharge. The inner diameter d of the lead discharge port 5 and slag discharge port 6 is 110 mm to 140 mm. The lead discharge port 5 is blocked with a refractory plug made of refractory clay. Lead can be discharged by drilling holes in the refractory clay using a pneumatic hammer. The slag discharge port 6 is blocked by a combination of an outer jacket 10, a middle jacket 11, and an inner core 12, with a baffle 13 on the outer side. The lead discharge port 5 and slag discharge port 6 are located in the center of the mounting block. The baffle 13 has screw holes 14 at its four corners, through which screws can be detachably connected to the perimeter of the mounting block. The outer jacket 10 is cylindrical, with an outer diameter d2 matching the inner diameter d of the slag discharge port, ranging from 190mm to 220mm. The inner diameter is smaller on the left and larger on the right; the left inner diameter d3 is 160mm to 180mm, and the right inner diameter d4 is 190mm to 200mm. The inner cavity of the outer jacket 10 has a frustum-shaped structure, with the inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter. The outer jacket 10 closer to the furnace inner cavity has a smaller inner diameter, while the outer jacket 10 closer to the furnace outer wall has a larger inner diameter. The middle sleeve 11 is cylindrical, with its outer diameter being smaller on the left and larger on the right, perfectly matching the inner diameter of the outer sleeve. The left outer diameter d5 is 160mm-180mm, and the right outer diameter d6 is 190mm-200mm. Its inner diameter is smaller on the left and larger on the right, with the left inner diameter d7 being 15mm-21mm and the right inner diameter d8 being 18mm-30mm. The middle sleeve 11 is a frustum-shaped cylinder, with its outer wall fitted onto the inner wall of the outer sleeve 10. The inner cavity of the middle sleeve 11 houses the inner core 12, which is a solid frustum structure. The inner core 12 is also frustum-shaped, smaller on the left and larger on the right, perfectly matching the inner diameter of the middle sleeve. The left outer diameter d9 is 15mm-21mm, and the right outer diameter d8 is 18mm-30mm. 10 The diameter is 18mm to 30mm.

[0028] The operating platform 7 is used by operators to handle and observe the lead discharge port 5 and the slag discharge port 6. The flatbed cart 9 has wheels and can slide along a track perpendicular to the axis of the furnace body 1, and can be programmed for automatic movement. The lead liner 8 is a hollow frustum-shaped container that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an inner diameter d1 of 450mm to 550mm at its upper opening.

[0029] Working principle: Please refer to Figure 1A short kiln capable of continuous lead feeding is constructed by first sealing the lead feeding port 5 with refractory clay, and then sealing the slag feeding port 6 with three overlapping structures: an outer jacket 10, a middle jacket 11, and an inner core 12. A baffle 13 is then fixed to the outside via screw holes 14. Next, the furnace door 2 is opened, and raw and auxiliary materials are fed into the furnace body 1 through the front furnace opening 3. The furnace door 2 is then closed, and the furnace body 1 is rotated and heated to begin the lead smelting stage. When the furnace temperature reaches 800℃~900℃, the lead feeding port 5 is rotated to face the operating platform 7. The operator uses a pneumatic hammer to drill small holes in the refractory clay filling the lead feeding port 5, releasing most of the lead. The lead feeding port 5 is then sealed by plugging it with refractory clay. The slag discharge port 6 is rotated to face the operating platform 7. The baffle 13 is removed, and the inner core 12 is loosened and removed using a pneumatic hammer. The middle jacket 11 and outer jacket 10, as well as the junction of the outer jacket 10 and the slag discharge port 6, are then lightly welded together for initial fixation. The furnace body 1 continues to rotate and heat, initiating the slag refining stage. After slag refining begins, the flatbed cart 9 is periodically moved at the lower end of the furnace body 1 according to the rotation speed of the furnace body 1. This ensures that when the slag discharge port 6 rotates to the lower half of the furnace body 1, the lead bag 8 is always directly below the slag discharge port 6 to catch the lead discharged in advance. When the furnace temperature reaches 1100℃~1200℃, there is essentially no remaining lead inside the furnace body 1. The operator uses a pneumatic hammer on the operating platform 7 to knock off the welded joint between the middle jacket 11 and outer jacket 10 at the slag discharge port 6, loosens the middle jacket 11, removes it, and discharges the remaining low-lead waste slag inside the furnace body 1. One cycle of operations is complete.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
