AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, blast furnace ash is prone to ring formation during rotary kiln production, leading to labor-intensive, inefficient, and safety-hazardous shutdown procedures.
The rotary kiln is set at an angle and equipped with a drive mechanism and a striking mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the rotary kiln to rotate slowly through a tire and support rollers, while the striking mechanism prevents the furnace charge from sticking in a ring shape through a striking rod. This is combined with high-temperature oxidation to extract zinc-containing substances.
It effectively prevents the ring-shaped adhesion of furnace charge to the high-temperature inner wall of the rotary kiln, reduces manual handling, and improves the calcination effect and safety of blast furnace ash.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zinc oxide technology, specifically to a blast furnace ash calcination device for producing zinc oxide. Background Technology
[0002] Zinc oxide belongs to the solid waste treatment industry. It is extracted from blast furnace ash, a waste material from steel plants, through high-temperature oxidation. The process involves feeding blast furnace ash into a rotary volatilization kiln via a belt conveyor. The temperature in the reaction zone of the volatilization kiln is 1100~1200℃, and the temperature of the flue gas at the kiln tail is 500±20℃. The blast furnace ash is heated by combustion in the rotary kiln using its own calorific value and an external heat source, causing the metallic Zn in the material to volatilize and enter the gas phase. In the gas phase, it is oxidized into coarse zinc oxide dust, which is then drawn out by an induced draft fan and collected in the dust bin of a high-efficiency bag filter, becoming coarse zinc oxide powder.
[0003] Ring formation can occur during rotary kiln production due to the ring-shaped adhesion of furnace charge to the inner wall of the high-temperature zone. This phenomenon can be categorized into two types: mild adhesion is called kiln skin; when the adhesion becomes severe enough to affect the normal operation of the rotary kiln, it is called ring formation. Once ring formation occurs, the kiln must be shut down for treatment. Manual handling is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a blast furnace ash calcination device for the production of secondary zinc oxide, thereby solving the problem of ring formation during blast furnace ash calcination.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A calcination device for producing zinc oxide from blast furnace ash includes an inclined rotary kiln, wherein the kiln head is provided with a feed inlet and a burner, the kiln tail is provided with a dust collector, the bottom of the rotary kiln is provided with a drive mechanism, and the upper end of the rotary kiln is provided with a striking mechanism.
[0007] The striking mechanism includes a mounting frame, a mounting plate, a rotary motor, several rotating shafts, several connecting rods (first and second), several fixed sleeves, and several striking rods. The mounting frame is located behind the rotary kiln. The mounting plate is mounted on the upper end of the mounting frame. The rotary motor is mounted on the rear end of the mounting plate. Several rotating shafts are movably inserted into the upper end of the mounting plate. Several connecting rods (first) are movably mounted on the front end of the mounting plate. Several connecting rods (second) are hinged to the bottom of several connecting rods (first). Several fixed sleeves are mounted on the mounting plate. Several striking rods are movably inserted into several fixed sleeves, and their upper ends are respectively hinged to the corresponding connecting rods (second).
[0008] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a set of bases, a drive motor, a pinion, a large gear ring, a set of tires, and a set of support rollers. The set of bases is installed on the ground, the drive motor is installed on the left base, the pinion is installed on the rotating end of the drive motor, the large gear ring is installed on the left side of the outer surface of the rotary kiln and meshes with the pinion, the set of tires is installed on both sides of the outer surface of the rotary kiln, and the set of support rollers is installed on the set of bases and fits against the set of tires. The drive mechanism drives the rotary kiln to rotate slowly, causing the blast furnace ash to move to the left and making the blast furnace ash heat more evenly. The set of tires and the set of support rollers can play a guiding role.
[0009] Furthermore, several rotating shafts are equipped with actuating blocks at their front ends, and several connecting rods are each provided with a corresponding fixing block. The rotating shafts rotate clockwise, and the actuating blocks actuate the fixing blocks, thereby driving the connecting rods to rotate.
[0010] Furthermore, several striking rods are equipped with stops, and springs are fitted on the outer surfaces of several striking rods. When connecting rod one rotates, it pulls the striking rod through connecting rod two. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. When connecting rod one rotates to the right, it is reset by the spring tension, and the fixed block on connecting rod one disengages from the moving block. At the same time, the striking rod strikes the outer surface of the rotary kiln.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotary motor is connected to a rotating shaft on the left side via a transmission chain, and adjacent sets of rotating shafts are connected via a transmission chain, so that the rotary motor drives several rotating shafts to rotate synchronously.
[0012] Furthermore, the dust collector is provided with a smoke exhaust port at the upper end for discharging the generated smoke and dust and collecting it subsequently, and a slag outlet at the lower end for discharging the slag generated during combustion.
[0013] This utility model provides a calcination device for producing secondary zinc oxide from blast furnace ash, which has the following advantages: by setting a driving mechanism at the bottom of the rotary kiln, the rotary kiln can be driven to rotate slowly to heat and burn the blast furnace ash, which facilitates the extraction of zinc-containing substances from the high-temperature oxidation. In conjunction with the striking mechanism, several striking rods are used to repeatedly hammer the outer surface of the rotary kiln, which can effectively prevent the ring-shaped adhesion and agglomeration of furnace material on the high-temperature inner wall of the rotary kiln, reduce manual handling, and improve the calcination effect of blast furnace ash.

[0022] In this embodiment, the horizontal plane of the kiln head of the rotary kiln 1 is higher than that of the kiln tail, with an inclination angle of 15°. After the blast furnace ash is added into the rotary kiln 1 through the feed inlet 2, the rotary kiln 1 is driven to rotate slowly to heat and burn the blast furnace ash, which facilitates the extraction of zinc-containing substances from the high-temperature oxidation.
