Definitions

  • the invention relates to a continuous furnace for the heat treatment of objects, in particular ceramic tubes, with an oven space divided into several chambers and transport means with which the objects can be transported through the various chambers.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a continuous furnace of the type mentioned, in which the objects do not have to be transferred from one means of transport to another means of transport during the passage through the entire furnace.
  • the furnace consists of an upper part which comprises at least the furnace ceiling and is stationary in the direction of flow and a lower part which comprises at least the bottom and the partition walls between the chambers and which is movable in the direction of flow several arranged one behind the other Carriage exists, each carrying one of the partitions at its front end.
  • the items to be heat treated remain on the trolley throughout the passage through the furnace.
  • the inner parts, such as the support rollers, of each wagon must be designed for the highest heat treatment temperatures, this effort is small in relation to the effort required to transfer the objects from one means of transport to another means of transport is.
  • the handling of the objects is gentler because of the unnecessary implementation. This is particularly important for thin-walled ceramic pipes.
  • the upper part and the lower part each comprise part of the side walls.
  • This configuration is particularly advantageous because it facilitates the accommodation of burners and air nozzles on the one hand and on the other hand drives for support rollers of the objects to be treated.
  • the lower part is equipped with support rollers for cylindrical objects to be treated, in particular for ceramic pipes, the support rollers extending through the side walls and being coupled to drives arranged outside the furnace space on the trolleys.
  • the burners and air nozzles can be arranged in the side wall parts of the upper part.
  • the upper part can be raised.
  • the side walls could also be designed to be movable, in particular be raised together with the ceiling.
  • pinch seals can be provided between the parts coming into contact with one another, such as the wall parts and the ceiling and the end faces. Sealing using sand channels is possible, but the sealing is not optimal. When using sand channels, however, there is no need to lift the upper part in order to be able to move the trolleys.
  • a return path for the wagons extends in the direction of flow under or next to the furnace and that for the wagons a transfer device running between this return lane and the lane through the furnace space, eg a lifting platform is provided.
  • the continuous furnace has a frame 1 with an upper pair of rails 2 and a pair of rails 3 arranged underneath, which form 4 lanes for carriages. At the beginning and at the end of these pairs of rails 2, 3 there are lifts 7, 8 equipped with rails 5, 6 with which the carriages 4 can be moved from one pair of rails 2 to the other pair of rails 3.
  • Each carriage 4 carries a structure 10 on a chassis 9. All the carriages 4 arranged close together on the pair of rails 2 are constructed identically. The carriage 4 is gradually transported over the rails 2 by feed means, not shown. The last carriage 4 pushes the carriage 4 in front of it.
  • the actual continuous furnace is divided into an upper part, which comprises the furnace ceiling 11, 12, 13 and the upper part of the side walls 14, 15, and a lower part.
  • the lower part is formed by the superstructures 10 of the carriages 4 and consists in each carriage 4 of the floor 16, a partition 17 arranged at the end at the end and the lower parts of side walls 18, 19.
  • the upper part can be lifted off the lower part by lifting devices 20, 21, which are shown in FIG. 3 for the combustion chamber, so that the carriages 4 can be moved freely.
  • a plurality of parallel support roller sets 22, 23 are arranged in the lower part, each carrying a ceramic tube 24 to be treated.
  • the carriages 4 in FIG. 1 are equipped with more support rollers than the carriages 4 according to FIG. 2, so that smaller, but more pipes 24 can be accommodated by these carriages.
  • the support rollers 22, 23 are through the side walls 18, 19 guided on the outside and coupled to drives 25, which can consist of electric motors, gears and chains.
  • the motors can be supplied with power by pantographs which slide on stationary power rails.
  • Openings 26, 27 are distributed in the side walls 14, 15 of the upper part, in which burners and nozzles for ventilation can be arranged.
  • the furnace chamber is divided into several chambers one behind the other, namely in the direction of passage in two drying chambers T 1, T 2, a heating chamber W, a combustion chamber B and two cooling chambers K 1, K 2.
  • the chamber spaces of the heating chamber W, the combustion chamber B and the cooling chambers K1, K2 are connected via a pipe 28 to the drying chambers T1, T2, so that the hot exhaust air from the heating chamber W and the combustion chamber B and when cooling in the cooling chambers K1, K2 heated air passed into the drying chambers T1, T2 and can be used for drying the pipes.
  • T2 circulation fans 29 are installed in the ceiling.
  • Objects to be heat-treated, in particular ceramic pipes, can be heat-treated in the continuous furnace according to the invention if the transport is interrupted but the self-rotation is maintained according to a desired temperature curve. It is not necessary to move from one means of transport to another means of transport during the entire transport through the continuous furnace. Since only the support rollers for the objects to be heat-treated are arranged inside the furnace chamber, the other mechanical parts, such as the drive, outside the furnace chamber, the effort for highly heat-resistant parts is kept within limits.
