Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic production technology, specifically a ceramic kiln waste heat utilization system. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic production uses clay, feldspar, and other materials as raw materials, and produces products through core processes such as batching, shaping, glazing, and firing. The firing process relies on ceramic kilns and requires a large amount of energy to maintain a high temperature of 800-1400℃. At the same time, it generates waste heat, which accounts for 30% to 50% of the total energy consumption, mainly from the high-temperature flue gas and heat dissipation from the kiln body. The preheating and drying of the glaze is a key link between the glazing process and the firing process. Its goal is to remove the physical water and some of the chemically bound water from the glaze layer on the surface of the glazed body after glazing, so as to avoid cracking of the glaze layer or the formation of pinholes and bubbles due to rapid evaporation of moisture after the body enters the kiln.

[0003] The waste heat from existing ceramic kilns is not being utilized efficiently, which increases the consumption of energy such as natural gas and electricity, drives up production costs, and the heat from high-temperature flue gas exacerbates environmental thermal pollution, affecting the ecological environment of the factory area and its surroundings, which does not meet environmental protection requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a ceramic kiln waste heat utilization system, which solves the problem of inefficient utilization of existing ceramic kiln waste heat.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the air intake assembly includes a pair of connecting rods, both of which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating channel, and a housing is fixedly connected between the pair of connecting rods. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, and a fan blade is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, while a first bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the drive assembly includes a servo motor, a first drive shaft, and a second drive shaft.

The bottom of the first drive shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the turntable. The bottom of the second drive shaft passes through the heating channel and the housing, respectively, and is rotatably connected to them. A second bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom of the second drive shaft. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model includes a drying chamber, a heating channel, an air filter, a turntable, a mounting frame, a guide rail, a placement plate, an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe, a spiral heat exchanger tube, a drive assembly, and an air intake assembly. The glazed ceramic blank is placed on the placement plate. High-temperature flue gas from the ceramic kiln enters the spiral heat exchanger tube through the air inlet pipe and then exits through the air outlet pipe. Activating the drive assembly causes the air intake assembly to operate, allowing outside air to slowly enter the heating channel through the air filter. After being heated by the spiral heat exchanger tube, the air enters the drying chamber, significantly reducing energy consumption and costs.

[0025] Specifically, guide grooves are provided on the guide rail 7, and the two sides of the placement plate 8 can slide along the corresponding guide grooves on the guide rail 7, so that the placement plate 8 can be removed to facilitate the loading and unloading of the blank. The glazed blank is placed on the placement plate 8, and the high-temperature flue gas from the ceramic kiln enters the spiral heat exchange tube 11 through the air inlet pipe 9 and then exits through the air outlet pipe 10. The drive component is started, and the drive component drives the air inlet component to work, so that the outside air slowly enters the heating channel 2 through the air filter 3, and enters the drying chamber 1 after being heated by the spiral heat exchange tube 11, which greatly reduces energy consumption and cost. The drive component drives the turntable 5 to rotate slowly, and the turntable 5 drives the placement plate 8 to rotate through the mounting bracket 6 and the guide rail 7, so that all parts of the blank are heated, making the drying more uniform.

[0026] The air intake assembly includes a pair of connecting rods 12, both of which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating channel 2. A housing 13 is fixedly connected between the pair of connecting rods 12. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing 13. A fan blade 14 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and a first bevel gear 15 is coaxially fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft.

[0034] The drying oven 1 is provided with a door 24 on the side away from the heating channel 2;

[0035] Specifically, the door 24 can be rotated to open and close on one side of the drying oven 1.
