Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a discharge mechanism for an electric heating furnace, which is ingeniously designed and fully functional, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality. The discharge mechanism mainly includes a support frame 1, a drive mechanism, a conveyor belt 6, and an infrared thermometer 8, among other key components. The support frame 1 is meticulously crafted from high-temperature resistant alloy steel, possessing extremely high stability and heat resistance, ensuring reliable operation of the entire mechanism in high-temperature environments. Shock-absorbing pads 2 are specially installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, which not only absorb vibrations generated during equipment operation but also effectively prevent heat from being transferred to the ground through the support structure, thereby protecting the ground from damage.

[0030] The drive mechanism is the core of the entire discharge mechanism. It includes a servo motor 3, a reducer 4 connected to the output of the servo motor 3, and several rotating rollers 5 driven by the reducer 4. The servo motor 3 provides precise speed control, ensuring the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 6. The reducer 4 reduces the output speed of the servo motor 3 while increasing the output torque to drive the rotating rollers 5. The surface of the rotating rollers 5 is covered with a high-friction rubber layer, which not only increases the friction between the rollers and the conveyor belt 6, ensuring the stability of the material during conveying, but also reduces potential damage to the material surface.

[0031] The conveyor belt 6 is the main carrier for material transport, and it is driven by the rotating rollers 5. To further improve thermal efficiency and protect the environment, multiple layers of heat insulation plates 7 are installed under the conveyor belt 6. These heat insulation plates 7 not only effectively insulate heat and reduce heat loss, but also prevent heat from affecting the equipment below or the environment. Electric heating wires 10 are embedded inside the multiple layers of heat insulation plates 7. These heating wires provide uniform heat to the conveyor belt 6, ensuring that the material is properly heated during transport.

[0032] To monitor the material temperature in real time, an infrared thermometer 8 is installed above the conveyor belt 6. The infrared thermometer 8 can measure the surface temperature of the material non-contactly, and its measurement results are connected to the PLC controller 9 via signal lines. The PLC controller 9 is a programmable logic controller that automatically adjusts the power output of the electric heating wire 10 based on the temperature data provided by the infrared thermometer 8, thereby achieving precise control of the material temperature. Simultaneously, the PLC controller 9 forms a closed-loop control circuit with the servo motor 3, further optimizing the material discharge speed and temperature control by controlling the operating speed of the servo motor 3, ensuring the efficiency and stability of the entire discharge process.

[0033] Specifically, the shock-absorbing foot pad 2 is designed with high-temperature resistant silicone rubber, which can withstand extreme temperature conditions, ensuring the stability of the foot pad in high-temperature environments. Its internal structure features a specially designed disc spring array 11. These disc springs not only provide effective shock absorption, but also have a very wide operating temperature range, functioning normally from -20 degrees Celsius to 400 degrees Celsius. This broad temperature adaptability makes the shock-absorbing foot pad 2 ideal for various industrial applications, providing reliable shock absorption support in both cold outdoor environments and high-temperature industrial production lines.

[0034] Specifically, the conveyor belt 6 is a high-temperature resistant ceramic conveyor belt with a silicon carbide coating on its surface. This type of conveyor belt not only has extremely high heat resistance, but its silicon carbide coating also gives it excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0035] Specifically, the multi-layer insulation panel 7 comprises, from bottom to top:

[0036] First, the alumina fiberboard 7-1, with a thickness of 5-8 mm, serves as the base layer, providing initial thermal insulation protection for the entire insulation board;

[0037] Next, the aerogel insulation layer 7-2, with a thickness of 3-5 mm, is placed on top of the alumina fiberboard to further enhance the insulation effect. Its lightweight and efficient insulation performance is the key to the entire insulation board.

[0038] Then there is the silicon carbide ceramic plate 7-3, which is 2-3 mm thick. It sits on top of the aerogel insulation layer and provides additional structural strength and high temperature resistance to the insulation board.

[0039] Between these layers, in particular, the electric heating wires 10 are embedded in a serpentine arrangement, connecting the aerogel insulation layer 7-2 and the silicon carbide ceramic plate 7-3, to ensure uniform heating while providing the necessary heat to maintain specific temperature conditions.

[0040] Specifically, the working logic of the closed-loop control loop involves a series of precise steps to ensure the efficient and accurate operation of the entire system:

[0041] When the infrared thermometer 8 detects that the surface temperature of the material is lower than the set threshold, the PLC controller 9 will immediately respond and perform the following operations synchronously:

[0042] First, the PLC controller 9 instructs the electric heating wire 10 to increase its output power to raise the temperature of the material. The power increase is based on 10%-15% of the current power value, which ensures that the temperature increase is effective without being excessive, thereby preventing the material from being damaged by overheating.

[0043] Secondly, the PLC controller 9 will also adjust the speed of the servo motor 3 to reduce it. The speed reduction is based on 5%-8% of the current speed value. This adjustment helps to reduce the speed of the material during the conveying process, thereby giving the electric heating wire 10 more time to heat the material and ensuring that the material temperature can be raised to the required level evenly and effectively.

[0044] To further optimize the heating process, the arrangement density of the electric heating wires 10 along the conveying direction is carefully designed, exhibiting a gradient distribution. At the feed end of the conveyor belt 6, the spacing between the electric heating wires 10 is set to 8-10 mm. This dense arrangement ensures that the material receives sufficient heat in the initial stage. As the material moves towards the discharge end, the spacing between the electric heating wires 10 gradually increases to 12-15 mm. This design adapts to the gradual increase in material temperature, avoiding overheating as the material approaches the discharge end, while ensuring both heating efficiency and material quality.

[0045] Working principle: When this utility model is working, the support frame 1 is made of high temperature resistant alloy steel and is equipped with shock-absorbing pads 2. The shock-absorbing pads 2 are made of high temperature resistant silicone rubber and contain a disc spring array 11 to withstand high temperature and provide shock absorption function.

[0046] The drive mechanism includes a servo motor 3, a reducer 4, and a rotating roller 5. The servo motor 3 drives the rotating roller 5 through the reducer 4. The surface of the rotating roller 5 is covered with a high-friction coefficient rubber layer to ensure the stable operation of the conveyor belt 6.

[0047] The conveyor belt 6 is made of a high-temperature resistant ceramic conveyor belt with a silicon carbide coating and is driven by rotating rollers 5. Multiple layers of heat insulation plates 7 are installed under the conveyor belt to reduce heat loss and protect the support frame 1.

[0048] The multi-layer heat insulation board 7 is composed of an alumina fiber board 7-1, an aerogel heat insulation layer 7-2, and a silicon carbide ceramic board 7-3. The electric heating wire 10 is embedded between the aerogel heat insulation layer 7-2 and the silicon carbide ceramic board 7-3 in a serpentine arrangement to provide uniform heating.

[0049] An infrared thermometer 8 is installed above the conveyor belt 6 to monitor the surface temperature of the material in real time.

[0050] The PLC controller 9 receives signals from the infrared thermometer 8 and forms a closed-loop control circuit with the electric heating wire 10 and the servo motor 3. When the material surface temperature is detected to be lower than the set threshold, the PLC controller 9 will synchronously perform the following operations:

[0051] Increase the output power of the electric heating wire 10 by 10%-15% of the current power value;

[0052] Reduce the speed of servo motor 3 by 5%-8% of the current speed value.

[0053] The electric heating wires 10 are arranged in a gradient density along the conveying direction to adapt to the different heating requirements of the material during the heating process. The wire spacing at the feed end is denser to provide more heat, while the wire spacing at the discharge end is sparser to reduce heat output and ensure that the material reaches an appropriate temperature at the discharge end.
