[0002] In order to start the low-temperature melting furnace in relation to the operation of the vitrification equipment, ignition using a titanium ring is essential. Titanium rings, which are shaped like a circle, are not easy to adapt to variable conditions (e.g., passing through a narrow gate). Therefore, there are problems with the constraints of the unique specifications and the resulting decrease in the operational efficiency of the low-temperature melting furnace. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a starting unit and a starting method for a vitrification facility having a composite structure capable of variable operation rather than a standardized titanium ring in connection with the operation of the vitrification facility.

[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a starting unit and a starting method for a vitrification facility, which can move in a contracted form when passing through a relatively narrow gate of a low-temperature melting furnace by using a titanium ring having such a composite structure, and can be placed in an expanded form inside the low-temperature melting furnace.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a starting unit and a starting method for a vitrification facility that can efficiently achieve ignition in a low-temperature melting furnace by applying a process for appropriately adjusting the radius of the titanium ring based on electromagnetic analysis.

[0006] The objects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other objects not mentioned herein will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above object, a method for starting up a vitrification facility according to one aspect of the present invention includes the steps of preparing an ignition module; inserting the ignition module into a low-temperature melting furnace chamber; and having the ignition module perform an ignition operation inside the low-temperature melting furnace chamber in cooperation with a high-frequency heating means outside the low-temperature melting furnace, wherein the ignition module is inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace chamber in an initial state before its shape is changed, and when inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace chamber, its shape is changed from the initial state to a changeable state and the ignition operation is performed.

[0008] In addition, the low-temperature melting furnace is provided with a gate that connects the inside and the outside, the ignition module is inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace through the gate in the initial state, and the variable state of the ignition module includes a form in which the volume of the ignition module is expanded larger than the volume of the ignition module in the initial state.

[0009] In addition, the ignition module has a first volume value, which is a volume value of the initial state, that is equal to or smaller than the area value of the gate, and a second volume value, which is a volume value of the variable state, that is greater than the area value of the gate.

[0010] The ignition module also includes an igniter that performs the initial state or the variable state, and a storage body that stores the igniter in the initial state to allow the igniter to maintain the initial state.

[0011] In addition, the ignition body of the ignition module includes a number of joints, a rotating part that rotates the joints, and an elastic part that is extrapolated onto at least a portion of the joints and the rotating part and that imparts an elastic restoring force to each of the joints of the rotating part.

[0012] In addition, the storage body of the ignition module is subjected to an external force during the process of being inserted into the gate of the low-temperature melting furnace, and at least a portion of the storage body is damaged, and the ignition element of the ignition module is ejected outside the storage body due to the damage to the storage body, and enters the variable state.

[0013] The storage body may be made of any one of rubber, glass, and plastic.

[0014] In order to achieve the above object, according to another aspect of the present invention, a start-up unit of a vitrification facility includes an ignition module that is inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace chamber and performs an ignition operation, and the ignition module is inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace in an initial state before its shape is changed into the low-temperature melting furnace chamber, and when inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace chamber, it changes to a changeable state in which its shape is changed from the initial state, comes into contact with the molten material inside the low-temperature melting furnace to perform the ignition operation, and performs the ignition operation inside the low-temperature melting furnace chamber in cooperation with a high-frequency heating means outside the low-temperature melting furnace. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The start-up unit and start-up method for a vitrification facility according to the present invention as described above have one or more of the following advantages.

[0016] The present invention provides a variable-type titanium ring instead of a standardized titanium ring in relation to the operation of a vitrification facility, thereby enabling efficient operation of the vitrification facility.

[0017] In particular, this variable titanium ring allows the device to move in a contracted form when passing through the relatively narrow gate of the low-temperature melting furnace, and then be placed in an expanded form inside the low-temperature melting furnace, thereby enabling efficient operation of the vitrification equipment.

[0018] In addition, a starting unit and a starting method for a vitrification facility can be provided that can efficiently achieve ignition on a low-temperature melting furnace by applying a process of appropriately adjusting the radius of the titanium ring based on electromagnetic analysis.

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Advantages and features of the present invention, as well as methods for achieving them, will become apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and may be realized in various different forms. These embodiments are provided solely to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention is defined solely by the scope of the claims. The same reference symbols refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

[0021] 1, in a method S100 for starting up a vitrification facility according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, an ignition module 100 is prepared. The prepared ignition module 100 is inserted into the chamber of the low-temperature melting furnace 50 to start or restart the low-temperature melting.

[0022] Furthermore, the ignition module 100 cooperates with a high frequency heating means outside the low temperature melting furnace 50 so that the ignition module 100 performs an ignition operation inside the chamber of the low temperature melting furnace 50 .

[0023] The ignition module 100 is inserted into the chamber of the low-temperature melting furnace 50 in an initial state before its shape is changed. When the ignition module 100 is further inserted into the chamber of the low-temperature melting furnace 50, its shape is changed from the initial state to a changeable state.

[0024] Here, the ignition module 100 inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace 50 contacts the molten material inside the low-temperature melting furnace 50 in the variable state to perform the ignition operation.

[0025] 2 to 6, a starting unit of a vitrification facility according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an ignition module 100. The ignition module 100 includes an ignition element 110 and a storage element 120. The ignition element 110 includes an articulation portion 111, a pivoting portion 112, and an elastic portion 113 (see FIGS. 2 and 6).

[0026] The ignition module 100 is inserted into the chamber of the low-temperature melting furnace 50. It is connected to a high-frequency heating means outside the low-temperature melting furnace 50. The ignition module 100 performs an ignition operation inside the chamber of the low-temperature melting furnace 50 based on the operation of the high-frequency heating means (see FIGS. 2 to 4).

[0027] Here, the low-temperature melting furnace 50 is provided with a gate 50H that connects the inside and outside of the furnace 50. The ignition module 100 is inserted into the low-temperature melting furnace 50 through the gate 50H in the initial state (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

[0028] The variable state of the ignition module 100 includes a state in which the volume of the ignition module 100 is expanded to a larger value than the initial state. The ignition module 100 has a first volume value P1, which is the volume value of the initial state, that is equal to or smaller than the area value P3 of the gate 50H (see FIG. 5).

[0029] Furthermore, the ignition module 100 has a second volume value P2, which is the volume value of the variable state, that exceeds the area value P3 of the gate 50H. The igniter 110 of the ignition module 100 is in the initial state or the variable state (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0030] The storage body 120 of the ignition module 100 accommodates the igniter 110 in the initial state therein, so that the igniter 110 maintains the initial state (see FIG. 2).

[0031] The igniter 110 has a plurality of joints 111, which are adjacent to each other and arranged in a composite manner. The rotating part 112 of the igniter 110 rotates the plurality of joints 111 (see FIG. 6).

[0032] The elastic portion 113 of the ignition element 110 is fitted onto at least a part of the joint portion 111 and the rotating portion 112, and applies an elastic restoring force to each of the joint portions 111 on the rotating portion 112 (see FIG. 6).

[0033] The storage body 120 of the ignition module 100 is at least partially damaged by external force or heat during insertion into the gate 50H of the low-temperature melting furnace 50. The igniter 110 of the ignition module 100 is discharged to the outside of the storage body 120 due to the damage of the storage body 120, and enters the variable state (see FIG. 5).

[0034] The storage body 120 may be made of any one of rubber, glass, and plastic. For example, if the storage body 120 is made of rubber, at least a portion of the storage body 120 may be torn due to the damage. If the storage body 120 is made of glass or plastic, at least a portion of the storage body 120 may be shattered due to an external force.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiment is illustrative in all respects and is not limiting.
