Summary of the invention

Therefore, the object of the invention is to, the problem in view of above illustrative conventional art is brought radiant tube, provide a kind of radiant tube, and its extremely hot condition durability for the burning gases that come free burner to be blown into is high, can use more over a long time.

For solving the means of problem

Radiant tube of the present invention, for heating resisting metal system, there is at least one bend pipe will connected between straight tube, be blown into the burning gases of burner from a side of described straight tube, at least as close to the bend pipe of described burner, the use external diameter is the cast body that 150～210mm, wall thickness are 3～8mm.

In the radiant tube of said structure characteristics, owing to using the cast body that wall thickness is 3～8mm, as extremely the hottest condition close to the bend pipe of burner, therefore, with utilizing, plate stamping processing is resulting compares the bend pipe that is welded between the body end face etc., the wall thickness of pipe is more even, and in addition, that stress concentration portion position of the weld part extended to the bend pipe length direction also disappears.Therefore, be difficult to produce the thermal crack(ing that dramatic temperature rises or dramatic temperature descends and causes that the burning gases by burner cause, result, can obtain that heat resistance is high, the radiant tube of anti-long-term use.

In addition, because the wall thickness of cast body is the thin-walled property of 3～8mm, therefore, the increase of the compactness of metal structure cooling velocity during based on casting and being enhanced.Therefore, be enhanced close to heat resistance and the resistance to sudden heating of the bend pipe of the burner of extremely hot condition, can obtain more anti-in the radiant tube of long-term use.

In addition, by the part of the bend pipe of extremely hot condition, make thin-walled property, the distortion that stress brings just easily produces.Its result, easily absorb thermal stress, even the temperature sharply that the burning gases of burner bring rises, also is difficult to produce thermal crack(ing.

In addition, by making thin-walled property close to the bend pipe of burner, the rate of rise in temperature of the bend pipe that the burning gases of burner bring just uprises, and the temperature of wall thickness direction descends and to diminish, and therefore than conventional art, also can suppress the consumption of fuel.

In addition, due to, close to the thin-walled property of the bend pipe of burner, and make the whole lightweight of radiant tube, therefore, also reduced and changed the required labour's burden of operation.

Another design feature of the present invention is, described bend pipe with being connected of described straight tube near the wall thickness of section become thinner than other position of described bend pipe.

With the junction of straight tube, become the easy especially position that in use produces undercapacity during because of the textural undercapacity close to end surfaces or for the welding that connects because being heated the material fragilityization caused etc. in bend pipe.But, adopt this structure, because other position of the wall ratio bend pipe that connects near section is thin, therefore, the cooling velocity of the compactness of metal structure based on when casting increases and special the raising, can guarantee the durability generally partly be complementary with bend pipe except near section connecting for the extremely hot condition from burning gases.

Another design feature of the present invention is, has a plurality of described bend pipes, for these a plurality of described bend pipes, all uses the cast body that wall thickness is 3～8mm.

Also can be only to close to the bend pipe of burner, using the cast body of wall thickness 3～8mm, adopt this structure, because a plurality of bend pipes are all used the cast body of wall thickness 3～8mm, therefore, can obtain stable on heating reliability further improve, anti-in the radiant tube of long-term use.

In addition, because the lightweight of radiant tube integral body further improves, therefore, also further reduced and changed the required labour's burden of operation.

Another design feature of the present invention is that the wall thickness of described straight tube becomes below 7mm.

As this structure, by straight tube also being made to the thin-walled mated with bend pipe, with the structure of only straight tube being made to the heavy wall state, compare, can guarantee than highland the intensity of the connecting portion of bend pipe and straight tube.

Another design feature of the present invention is, described straight tube with being connected of described bend pipe near the wall thickness of section become thinner than other position of described straight tube.

In straight tube, with the junction of bend pipe, material fragilityization of being heated caused during because of the textural undercapacity close to end surfaces or for the welding that connects etc. becomes the easy especially position that in use produces undercapacity.But, adopt this structure, because other position of the wall ratio straight tube that connects near section is thin, therefore, the cooling velocity of the compactness of metal structure based on when casting increases and special the raising, can guarantee the durability generally partly be complementary with straight tube except near section connecting for the extremely hot condition from burning gases.

Another design feature of the present invention is, as described straight tube, to use wall thickness to surpass the cast body of the wall thickness of described bend pipe.

Adopt this structure, than use, there is the structure with the straight tube of the equal wall thickness of described bend pipe wall thickness, more easily obtain that heat resistance further improves and anti-in the radiant tube of long-term use.

The specific embodiment

Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, one embodiment of the present invention is described.But scope of the present invention is not subject to these explanation constraints, except following illustration, can suitably change enforcement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Radiant tube 1 shown in Fig. 1, have four horizontal

straight tube

2A, 2B, 2C, 2D that substantially uniformly-spaced are arranged side by side up and down, utilize to amount to three

bend pipe

3A, 3B, 3C between two neighbouring straight tubes 2 and connect, and wholely substantially is horizontal W word shape.

Radiant tube 1, utilize the straight tube 2A of the superiors and undermost straight tube 2D and be bearing in drying oven or other the furnace wall 10 of heat-treatment furnace of sintering furnace on, the end of these

straight tubes

2A, 2D and burner 5 with between sandwich the heat storage 4 that the heat recovery efficiency that consists of ceramic honeycomb etc. is high state be connected.

These burners 5, carry out exhaust from undermost straight tube 2D and heat extraction is recovered in the heat storage 4 of below when the water heater 5 that makes for example to be connected with the straight tube 2A of the superiors burns, when burning being switched to the burner 5 be connected with undermost straight tube 2D, utilization by the combustion air preheating, becomes the backheating type that can reduce the required fuel use amount of burner combustion by the heat extraction of below heat storage 4 recovery thus.

Utilization is installed in the combustion air fan 7 of supply combustion air and the transfer valve 6 between each burner 5, can use the burner 5 be connected with the straight tube 2A of the superiors to make the combustion air burning and its heat extraction is being recovered in to the state (meaning with solid line) in the heat storage 4 be connected with orlop straight tube 2D and use the burner 5 be connected with orlop straight tube 2D to make the combustion air burning and its heat extraction is recovered between the state (dotting) in the heat storage 4 be connected with the straight tube 2A of the superiors to be switched.

By the waste gas of heat storage 4, can be released in extraneous air by transfer valve 6 and emission-control equipment (not shown) etc.

Four straight tube 2A, the 2B, 2C, 2D and three

bend pipe

3A, 3B, the 3C external diameters that form radiant tube 1 are 180mm, and are formed by the cast steel (example of the cast body of heating resisting metal system) of the nickel of the chromium that contains 20～35 % by weight and 30～50 % by weight.

Straight tube 2 is connected with bend pipe 3, utilizes the welding of carrying out from outer circumferential side under the state docked between the end face by each pipe to carry out.

In three

bend pipe

3A, 3B, 3C, as, close to the 1st bend pipe 3A and the 3rd bend pipe 3C of burner 5, use the casting thin-wall body that wall thickness is 3～8mm.

As leaving burner 5 the 2nd bend pipe 3B far away and four

straight tube

2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, use the cast body that wall thickness is 5mm or 10mm.

In addition, used leaving and approaching vocabulary here, refer to by burner 5 produce and on the path of the inner mobile flame of radiant tube 1 or burning gases and between burner 5 apart from length.

So, be used as the bend pipe 3 close to burner 5 by the casting thin-wall body that is 3～8mm by wall thickness, thereby can obtain high, the more anti-radiant tube in long-term use 1 of heat resistance.

Its reason is considered to, in the formed integrally formed bend pipe of casting, to process bend pipe of being welded between the body end face of resulting left and right etc. by plate stamping with axle core along pipe compares, wall thickness is more even, in addition, the such stress concentration portion position of weld part of extending along the bend pipe length direction also disappears, and therefore, is difficult to produce dramatic temperature due to the burning gases of burner rises or dramatic temperature descends to be caused thermal crack(ing etc.

In addition, be considered to, because the wall thickness of cast body is made into the thin-walled property of 3～8mm, therefore the increase of the cooling velocity of the compactness of metal structure after based on casting and improving, heat resistance and resistance to sudden heating are improved.

In addition, be considered to, owing to being made into thin-walled property, easily because stress produces distortion, therefore easily absorb thermal stress, even the dramatic temperature that the burning gases of burner bring rises, also be difficult to produce thermal crack(ing.

In addition, by making thin-walled property close to the bend pipe 3 of burner 5, thereby the return bend temperature rate of climb that the burning gases of burner bring improves, and the temperature of wall thickness direction descends and diminish, therefore also suppressed Fuel Consumption than conventional art.

In addition,, therefore also reduced and changed the required labour's burden of operation by lightweight due to radiant tube integral body.

Four

straight tube

2A, 2B, 2C, 2D forming radiant tube 1 are manufactured by centre spinning.

On the other hand, because three
