Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refractory material production and processing equipment, specifically to a corundum mullite brick processing and sintering device. Background Technology
[0002] Corundum mullite bricks, due to their high strength, high temperature resistance, and excellent chemical stability, are widely used in high-temperature industries such as metallurgy, building materials, and ceramics. Their production process relies on tunnel kiln sintering equipment to achieve continuous high-temperature sintering. As the core production equipment, the tunnel kiln needs to be isolated from the outside environment through its kiln opening to ensure a high-temperature sintering environment of 1600-1800℃ and a stable pressure field within the kiln. This ensures the sintering uniformity, bulk density, and mechanical properties of the corundum mullite bricks. Air curtain sealing, as the core sealing method at the kiln opening, works by continuously jetting air to form an air curtain barrier, blocking air exchange between the kiln and the outside environment.
[0003] The air nozzle is the terminal injection component of the air curtain airflow. It needs to be exposed to the medium and high temperature environment of the sintering kiln for a long time and must withstand the continuous scouring of the air curtain airflow after preheating. Most air nozzles are made of one-piece metal or ceramic material without built-in cooling channels. They are prone to "thermal fatigue deformation" when exposed to high temperature for a long time. This can even cause the air nozzle to soften or melt due to high temperature, requiring frequent shutdowns for replacement, which seriously affects the continuity of sintering production and increases equipment maintenance costs.

[0017] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the corundum mullite brick processing and sintering device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a sintering kiln body 1, a hot air circulation unit 2, an air curtain assembly 3, and an air nozzle cooling assembly 4. The hot air circulation unit 2 includes an induced draft fan 5, a first air filter 6, a temperature control valve 7, and a mixing valve 8. The inlet of the induced draft fan 5 is connected to the cooling section of the sintering kiln body 1. The inlet of the induced draft fan 5 is connected to the first air filter 6, and the outlet of the induced draft fan 5 is sequentially connected to the temperature control valve 7 and the mixing valve 8. The first inlet of the temperature control valve 7 and the first inlet of the mixing valve 8 are connected. The second inlet of the mixing valve 8 is connected to the outside fresh air, and the outlet of the mixing valve 8 is connected to the air curtain assembly 3. The air curtain assembly 3 includes an air curtain main pipe 10 and an air curtain nozzle 11, with the air curtain nozzle 11 being connected through one side of the air curtain main pipe 10. The air nozzle cooling assembly 4 includes a cooling medium source, a cooling pipe 15, and a cooling shell 16. The cooling shell 16 is welded to the outside of the air curtain nozzle 11, and the side surface of the cooling shell 16 is connected to the cooling medium source through the cooling pipe 15. The cooling shell 16 is welded to the outside of the air nozzle, forming a sandwich cooling space of "shell-air nozzle". The cooling medium can completely envelop the air nozzle, quickly remove the heat absorbed by the air nozzle, stabilize the temperature of the air nozzle body, effectively avoid problems such as thermal fatigue and oxidation corrosion, extend the overall life of the air nozzle, and reduce production interruption losses caused by downtime replacement.
[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-3It also includes a temperature regulation unit 9, which is specifically a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is located at the outlet of the air curtain nozzle 11 and is electrically connected to the mixing valve 8 and the temperature control valve 7 respectively. The temperature sensor directly detects the final air curtain temperature acting in the kiln and achieves precise regulation of the air curtain temperature through dual temperature control logic.
[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The inner wall of the cooling housing 16 is provided with an anti-corrosion coating, which is a ceramic coating that is resistant to high temperature and wear and does not react with cooling air, thus extending the life of the cooling housing 16.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The cooling medium source is specifically a cooling fan 12. The cooling pipe 15 is connected in series with a second air filter 13 and a pressure regulating valve 14. The second air filter 13 and the pressure regulating valve 14 are used to filter and regulate the pressure of the cooling air.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The outlet of the air curtain nozzle 11 is flat and rectangular, resulting in a more uniform jet of air and a wider coverage area.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-3 It also includes a control component 17, which is electrically connected to the temperature regulation unit 9, the cooling medium source, and the hot air circulation unit 2 respectively. The device is equipped with an independent control component 17, which is linked with the temperature regulation unit 9, the cooling medium source, and the hot air circulation unit 2 to realize an automated closed loop of "detection-judgment-regulation".
[0023] Working Principle: After the corundum mullite bricks are fired in the main body 1 of the sintering kiln, they enter the cooling section for cooling. Then, the induced draft fan 5 is started, and high-temperature waste heat airflow is drawn from the cooling section of the sintering kiln through the inlet pipe. The waste heat airflow first enters the first air filter 6 to filter impurities. The filtered clean hot airflow enters the temperature control valve to initially regulate the flow rate of the waste heat airflow. The waste heat airflow regulated by the temperature control valve 7 is finally delivered to the first inlet of the mixing valve 8, waiting to be mixed with the outside fresh air, preparing for precise temperature control of the air curtain airflow. The temperature-controlled airflow is distributed to each air curtain nozzle 11 through the air curtain main pipe 10. The nozzle outlet is designed as a flat rectangle, which can convert the airflow into a uniform and wide laminar flow, forming a complete air curtain barrier at the kiln mouth. At the same time, the cooling airflow first enters the second air filter 13 to filter dust in the air. Then, the airflow pressure is regulated by the pressure regulating valve 14. The processed cold air enters between the cooling shell 16 and the nozzle, quickly carrying away the radiant heat in the kiln and the heat conducted by the air curtain airflow absorbed by the nozzle, thereby controlling the temperature of the nozzle and extending the service life of the nozzle.
