[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0028] A heating furnace capable of mixing hot and cold billets, comprising:
[0029] A feeding roller conveyor 1 is provided, on which a first heating furnace 2, a second heating furnace 3, and a third heating furnace 4 are arranged sequentially from left to right. Isolation chambers 18 are fixedly installed on the feeding roller conveyor 1 between the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4. Slide grooves 5 are provided on the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4, respectively, directly above the inlet and outlet. Baffles 17 are slidably connected within each slide groove 5. Slide rails 6 are provided on both sides of each slide groove 5, and both ends of the baffles 17 extend into the corresponding slide rails 6. Burners 20 and the main body of a gas calorific value analyzer 21 are fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity and the top of the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4, respectively. Three sets of drive components are located within the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4, and are used to drive the two baffles 17 to rise and fall, thus heating the cold billets. Alternatively, the hot billet is conveyed to the feed inlet of the first heating furnace 2 by the feed roller conveyor 1. The drive assembly on the first heating furnace 2 is started, and the drive assembly drives the baffle 17 to slide upward along the slide rail 6, opening the feed inlet of the first heating furnace 2, and the cold billet enters the furnace. At this time, the burner 20 of the first heating furnace 2 is started and heated at the set power. The gas calorific value analyzer body 21 monitors the calorific value of the gas and adjusts the air-fuel ratio to the optimal state. After the cold billet reaches the preset temperature in the first heating furnace 2, the motor 16 on the first heating furnace 2 is started again, thereby opening the two discharge port baffles 17 of the first heating furnace 2. The billet is sent into the first isolation chamber 18 by the feed roller conveyor 1. The separation structure of the isolation chamber 18 can reduce the heat leakage when the feed inlet or discharge port of the heating furnace is opened, and buffer the heating operation of the billet in the furnace. Subsequently, the above operation is repeated to start the first heating furnace 2 and the second heating furnace 3 in sequence, and finally the homogenization is completed in the third heating furnace 4.
[0030] In this embodiment, the driving component includes:
[0031] A threaded rod 7 is rotatably mounted within one of the slide rails 6. A rectangular slot 8 is formed within the feed roller conveyor 1, directly above one of the slide rails 6. The top of the threaded rod 7 extends through the baffle 17 and the top of the slide rail 6 into the rectangular slot 8, where a bevel gear 9 is fixedly mounted. A bevel gear 10 is meshed within the rectangular slot 8, on one side of the bevel gear 9. A rectangular slot 12 is formed within the feed roller conveyor 1, between the two rectangular slots 8. A motor 16 is meshed on one side of the first heating furnace 2. The output shaft of the motor 16 extends through one side of the feed roller conveyor 1 and is fixedly mounted with a connecting shaft 15. One end of the connecting shaft 15 extends into the rectangular slot 12 and is fixedly mounted with a bevel gear 4. 14. Two bevel gears 13 are installed in rectangular slot 2 12 and meshing on both sides of bevel gear 4 14. A connecting shaft 11 connects bevel gear 3 13 and the corresponding bevel gear 2 10. When the motor 16 on the first heating furnace 2 is started, the output shaft of the motor 16 rotates and drives the connecting shaft 2 15 to rotate. The connecting shaft 2 15 drives bevel gear 4 14 in rectangular slot 2 12 to rotate. Bevel gear 4 14 meshes with bevel gear 3 13 on both sides and is transmitted to bevel gear 2 10 in rectangular slot 1 8 through connecting shaft 11. Bevel gear 2 10 meshes with bevel gear 1 9 and finally drives threaded rod 7 to rotate. When threaded rod 7 rotates, baffle 17 slides upward along slide rail 6 and opens the feed port of the first heating furnace 2, allowing cold billet to enter the furnace.
[0032] In this embodiment, the threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to the baffle 17, the bevel gear 2 10 and bevel gear 1 9 are rotatably connected to the rectangular slot 1 8, the two bevel gears 3 13 and bevel gear 4 14 are rotatably connected to the rectangular slot 2 12, the two connecting shafts 1 11, the connecting shaft 2 15 and the output shaft of the motor 16 are rotatably connected to the first heating furnace 2. Under the action of the thread, the rotating threaded rod 7 drives the baffle 17 to move, ensuring that the bevel gear 2 10 and bevel gear 1 9 can rotate in the rectangular slot 1 8, ensuring that the bevel gear 3 13 and bevel gear 4 14 can rotate in the rectangular slot 2 12, ensuring that the connecting shaft 1 11 and the connecting shaft 2 15 can rotate in the first heating furnace 2, and ensuring that the motor 16 can operate normally on the first heating furnace 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, a high temperature gauge 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed roller conveyor 1 and in the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3 and the third heating furnace 4 respectively. The high temperature gauge 19 detects the initial temperature of the cold billet and transmits the data to the control system. The control system determines the target temperature of the cold billet.
[0034] In this embodiment, batteries are fixedly installed in the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4. The batteries are electrically connected to the burner 20, and the batteries ensure that the burner 20 can be continuously supplied with power.
[0035] In this embodiment, the baffle 17 is slidably connected to the slide rail 6 to ensure that the baffle 17 can slide within the slide rail 6.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4 are made of high-temperature resistant refractory bricks to ensure that the first heating furnace 2, the second heating furnace 3, and the third heating furnace 4 can withstand huge high temperatures.
[0037] In this embodiment, a heating furnace capable of mixing cold and hot billets is used such that the cold or hot billets to be heated are conveyed to the feed inlet of the first heating furnace 2 by the feed roller conveyor 1. The pyrometer 19 detects the initial temperature of the cold billet and transmits the data to the control system. The control system starts the motor 16 on the first heating furnace 2 according to the target temperature of the cold billet. The output shaft of the motor 16 rotates, which drives the second connecting shaft 15 to rotate. The second connecting shaft 15 drives the fourth bevel gear 14 in the second rectangular slot 12 to rotate. The fourth bevel gear 14 meshes with the third bevel gear 13 on both sides and is transmitted to the second bevel gear 10 in the first rectangular slot 8 via the first connecting shaft 11. The second bevel gear 10 meshes with the first bevel gear 9 and finally drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. When the threaded rod 7 rotates, the baffle 17 slides upward along the slide rail 6, opening the feed inlet of the first heating furnace 2 and allowing the cold billet to enter the furnace.
[0038] At this time, the burner 20 of the first heating furnace 2 is started and heated at the set power. The gas calorific value analyzer body 21 monitors the calorific value of the gas and adjusts the air-fuel ratio to the optimal state. After the cold billet reaches the preset temperature in the first heating furnace 2, the motor 16 on the first heating furnace 2 is started again, thereby opening the two discharge port baffles 17 of the first heating furnace 2. The billet is fed into the first isolation chamber 18 by the feed roller 1. The partition structure of the isolation chamber 18 can reduce the heat leakage when the feed port or discharge port of the heating furnace is opened, and buffer the heating operation of the billet in the furnace. Then, the above operation is repeated to start the first heating furnace 2 and the second heating furnace 3 in sequence, and finally the homogenization is completed in the third heating furnace 4.
