Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial furnace technology, and specifically discloses an industrial furnace with an automatic ignition device. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial furnaces often generate waste gases containing flammable gases (such as carbon monoxide and methane) and harmful gases during production. Direct emission of these gases can cause environmental pollution and explosion risks. Therefore, automatic ignition devices are widely used in industrial furnace waste gas treatment systems, using high-voltage electric sparks to ignite the flammable components in the waste gas, achieving harmless incineration.

[0003] Traditional automatic ignition devices typically consist of a power supply, a time relay, a step-up transformer, and a fixed ceramic igniter. Their working principle is to trigger ignition through timing control. For example, a DC power supply is used to generate high voltage through an oscillator, a step-up circuit, and a rectifier circuit, which drives the ceramic igniter to produce an electric spark in the exhaust pipe. Although such devices have initially achieved the transformation from manual ignition to automation, the core components, such as the ceramic igniter, are mostly fixed in a single position in the exhaust pipe and rely on a preset time relay to control the ignition cycle, lacking adaptability to dynamic changes in exhaust gas concentration.

[0004] Fixed ignition heads cannot adjust their position according to airflow distribution, resulting in failure to ignite low-concentration exhaust gases or incomplete combustion of high-concentration exhaust gases, leading to low ignition efficiency. Although equipped with a basic flame detector, it lacks linkage control with oxygen content monitoring, and cannot identify the risk of unburned exhaust gas leakage caused by flameout or lack of oxygen in real time. The time relay control mode cannot respond to fluctuations in exhaust gas concentration, resulting in energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-2 An industrial furnace with an automatic ignition device includes an industrial furnace body 1 and an exhaust pipe 2, and further includes: The position-adjustable ignition unit includes a ceramic igniter 3 disposed inside the exhaust pipe 2 and a drive mechanism 4 installed outside the exhaust pipe 2; Infrared gas sensor 5 is installed at the inner end of exhaust pipe 2; Flame detector 6 is installed 20-50mm behind the ceramic igniter head 3; Oxygen content sensor 7 is installed at the inner end of exhaust pipe 2; The concentration controller 8 is electrically connected to the infrared gas sensor 5; Safety interlock unit 9 is electrically connected to flame detector 6 and oxygen content sensor 7; The adaptive power module 10 is electrically connected to the ceramic igniter head 3.

[0020] In this embodiment: Infrared gas sensor 5 detects the concentration of exhaust gas at the beginning of exhaust pipe 2 and transmits it to concentration controller 8. Concentration controller 8 outputs a position command to drive mechanism 4 according to a preset threshold. Drive mechanism 4 pushes ceramic igniter head 3 to the target position via high-temperature resistant transmission shaft 13 (located at the first 1 / 3 of the pipe when the concentration is ≤3%LEL, and moved to the second 2 / 3 when the concentration is >3%LEL). The output voltage of adaptive power module 10 is adjusted synchronously (0.5kV increase for every 1%LEL increase in concentration). The high-voltage current causes ceramic igniter head 3 to generate an electric spark to ignite the exhaust gas; flame Detector 6 monitors the ignition status in real time. If ignition is successful, the flame signal is continuously fed back to the safety interlock unit 9. If the flame is abnormally extinguished or the oxygen content sensor 7 detects that the oxygen content at the tail end is <15%, the safety interlock unit 9 cuts off the adaptive power module 10 within 0.5 seconds. Electrode diagnostic module 11 continuously collects the working current of the ignition head. When the peak value drops by >20%, it outputs a maintenance signal to the external alarm. This achieves dynamic position-voltage dual-adjustment ignition, eliminates the positional limitations and energy waste of fixed ignition, and blocks the risk of unburned exhaust gas leakage through triple safety interlock.

[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the concentration controller 8 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 4 and to the adaptive power supply module 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the concentration controller 8 is linked with the drive mechanism 4 and the adaptive power module 10 to achieve coordinated optimization of position and voltage. When the concentration is low, the voltage is reduced and the ignition distance is shortened. When the concentration is high, the voltage is increased and the ignition range is expanded, thus solving the problems of energy waste and ignition lag.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism 4 is an electric actuator or a linear motor.

[0024] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 4, which consists of an electric actuator or a linear motor, provides high-temperature resistant power output (>150℃) to ensure transmission stability.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the output end of the drive mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to a high-temperature resistant transmission shaft 13, which penetrates the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 2 and is fixedly connected to the ceramic igniter head 3. A dynamic seal is provided at the intersection of the high-temperature resistant transmission shaft 13 and the exhaust pipe 2.

[0026] In this embodiment: the high-temperature resistant drive shaft 13 penetrates the pipe wall through a dynamic seal to block the heat conduction at 600℃ to the external mechanism and prevent the drive mechanism 4 from overheating and failing.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the surface of the ceramic igniter head 3 is coated with a platinum-rhodium alloy coating, and the output voltage of the adaptive power module 10 is adjustable from 10 to 15kV.

[0028] In this embodiment: the platinum-rhodium alloy coating enables the ceramic igniter head 3 to withstand high-temperature corrosion of 1100℃, and the 10-15kV adjustable voltage of the adaptive power module 10 matches different concentrations, reducing electrode loss.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, it also includes an electrode diagnostic module 11, the input end of which is electrically connected to the ceramic igniter head 3, and the output end is electrically connected to an external alarm device.

[0030] In this embodiment, the electrode diagnostic module 11 monitors the electrical characteristics (such as resistance and discharge status) of the ceramic igniter head 3 in real time, and issues an alarm in a timely manner when the ceramic igniter head 3 ages, accumulates carbon, or fails, prompting maintenance, reducing the risk of ignition failure caused by ignition electrode failure, and improving system reliability.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 2 through the heat insulation bracket 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, the heat insulation bracket 12 is made of heat insulation material, which reduces the operating temperature of the drive mechanism 4 and extends the equipment life.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The exhaust gas generated by the industrial furnace body 1 enters the exhaust pipe 2. The infrared gas sensor 5 located at the beginning of the pipe detects the concentration of combustible gas in the exhaust gas in real time and transmits the signal to the concentration controller 8. The concentration controller 8 calculates the optimal ignition position and required ignition voltage of the ceramic igniter head 3 under the current exhaust gas conditions based on the received concentration signal, and outputs control commands. On the one hand, the commands drive the drive mechanism 4 (such as an electric actuator or linear motor) to move. The drive mechanism 4 drives the ceramic igniter head 3 to move to the designated position in the exhaust pipe 2 through the high-temperature resistant transmission shaft 13. On the other hand, the commands are sent to the adaptive power module 10, which outputs a high voltage of a corresponding value (10-15kV range). The high voltage is applied to the ceramic igniter head 3 that has been positioned, and the voltage is applied to its tip. The ceramic igniter head 3 generates an electric spark to ignite the flowing exhaust gas. A flame detector 6, installed 20-50mm behind the ceramic igniter head 3, monitors in real time whether the flame has been successfully established and is burning stably. At the same time, an oxygen content sensor 7 located at the end of the exhaust pipe 2 monitors the residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas after combustion. The signals from the flame detector 6 and the oxygen content sensor 7 are input to the safety interlock unit 9. The safety interlock unit 9 continuously analyzes these signals. If it detects that the flame has been extinguished or the oxygen content has decreased abnormally (indicating incomplete combustion or possible flameout), it immediately triggers the safety interlock to cut off the fuel or exhaust gas source of the industrial furnace body 1 and prevent unburned exhaust gas from leaking. In addition, the electrode diagnostic module 11 continuously monitors the working status parameters of the ceramic igniter head 3. Once an abnormality is detected (such as open circuit, short circuit, or performance degradation), it issues an alarm signal.
