Definitions

  • the invention relates to a continuous strip furnace for heat treatment of workpieces comprising a heating chamber and a cooling section adjoining the heating chamber, wherein one strand of a conveyor belt is guided through the heating chamber along a conveyor belt support and the workpieces are transported by the conveyor belt through a high temperature zone in the heating chamber.
  • the workpieces to be subjected to the heat treatment are placed manually or automatically on the conveyor belt, which is guided along the conveyor belt support by the belt continuous furnace.
  • conveyor belts metal link belts, chain-like metal belts and wire mesh belts made of heat-resistant stainless steel are used.
  • the workpieces pass through a warm-up section, the high-temperature zone and the cooling section.
  • additional modules may be installed to improve the properties of the workpieces, such as a quick-cooling or tempering module.
  • Ofenein- and Ofenauslauf protective gas is supplied, so that the treated workpieces are surrounded by inert gas in the area in which they are exposed to the treatment temperatures.
  • a protective gas for example, hydrogen or nitrogen used, and reaction gases can be used instead of inert gas.
  • the heating of the ribbon continuous furnace in the heating chamber is preferably carried out electrically, for example with free-radiating chamber heaters or rod-shaped heating elements.
  • temperatures in the high-temperature zone above the maximum usual 1150 ° C for strip furnaces are advantageous in order to improve the properties of the workpieces.
  • Higher temperatures in the high temperature zone can not be realized economically in known belt furnaces because of the associated, extremely short service life of the conveyor belts.
  • the solution to this problem is based on the idea of eliminating the friction between the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt support, at least in the region of the high-temperature zone, and thereby minimizing the tension in the conveyor belt in the high-temperature zone.
  • a reduced tension allows a higher limit temperature and / or helps the conveyor to a longer life.
  • the object is achieved in that the conveyor belt support is arranged to be movable at least in the high temperature zone of the heating chamber in the conveying direction simultaneously with the conveyor belt.
  • the measure according to the invention makes it possible to achieve higher limit temperatures of, for example, 1200 ° C. with conventional belt service life and belt load, a longer belt service life at conventional process temperature and belt load, or a higher belt load at conventional process temperature and belt service life.
  • the simple system technology of strip furnaces can be maintained. This results in lower investment costs compared to other furnaces that allow process temperatures above 1150 ° C.
  • the first and second support elements are connected to a drive, which can be configured as a single or group drive. If the first and second support elements have a group drive, the power is transmitted to the first and second support elements via different gear members, which enable on the one hand the movement of the first support elements in and against the conveying direction of the conveyor belt and on the other hand, the vertical movement of the second support elements.
  • An alternative solution for a movable conveyor belt support is that in the area of the high-temperature zone beneath the run of the conveyor belt through the heating chamber, a circulating support belt is arranged, wherein the conveying direction and belt speed of the conveyor belt coincides with the direction of movement and belt speed of the support belt.
  • the circulating support belt is located only in the region of the high temperature zone of the belt continuous furnace, the problems usually encountered in ceramic conveyor belts due to a temperature gradient be effectively avoided over the range, especially in the area of lower temperatures. A temperature gradient leads to damage of the ceramic material.
  • the continuous furnace consists essentially of a conveyor belt 1 having, endlessly circulating continuous conveyor, a heating chamber 2, a subsequent to the heating chamber in the conveying direction 3 cooling section 4 and a conveyor belt support 5 for guiding the upper run of the conveyor belt 1.
  • the heating chamber 2 On the input side, the heating chamber 2 an inlet 6 for the conveyor belt on.
  • At the end of the cooling section 3 is an outlet 7 for the conveyor belt.
  • the entire passage area of the upper strand of the conveyor belt 1 through the heating chamber 2 and cooling section 3 is encapsulated, so that a closed flow channel is formed.
  • the passage channel has at least one gas connection, not shown, for the supply of inert gas, wherein the input and Outlet 6,7 are designed as inlet and outlet to reduce the protective gas consumption.
  • the still escaping inert gas is ignited and flared at the inlet and / or outlet of the belt continuous furnace in a conventional manner.
  • the total of 5 designated conveyor belt support consists of a first set of beams 8 a-c are arranged in and against the conveying direction 3 of the conveyor belt 1 movable. Between the bars 8 a, b, c are two more bars 9 a, b, which are arranged to be movable in the vertical direction 11. To carry out the movement, the beams 8 a, b, c and 9 a, b are connected to a drive 12.
  • the pads 13 a, b, c of the beam 8 span a parallel plane to the upper run of the conveyor belt 1, wherein the supports 13 a and c are angled laterally to guide the upper run of the conveyor belt 1 at the edges.
  • the conveyor belt 1 are arranged transversely to the conveying direction 3 electrical heating elements 14, which are supplied via a passage 16 in the right side wall 15 of the heating chamber 2 with power. From the outside of the passage 16 is encapsulated by a channel 17. At the top, the heating chamber is closed by a removable furnace lid 18, which is removable for maintenance purposes.
  • a muffle 19 made of ceramic for indirect heating of the workpieces and to protect the workpieces from contamination.
  • the conveyor belt 1 is moved clocked in the conveying direction 3.
  • the beams 8a, b, c of the first beam set rest on the underside of the conveyor belt 1 and are moved at the speed of the conveyor belt in the conveying direction 3 from an initial position to an end position.
  • the conveyor belt 1 is stopped and lifted by the lifting beams 9a, b from the position shown in FIG. 2, so that the underside of the belt is no longer resting on the beams 8a, b, c rests. Subsequently, the beams 8a, b, c are moved back against the conveying direction 3 into the starting position.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the advantageous effects of the movable conveyor belt support 5 according to the invention compared to a conventional conveyor belt support.
  • the upper diagram shows the voltage curve in conventional belt conveyor ovens. It can be seen that the tension of the conveyor belt at the end of the high-temperature zone 21 reaches almost the permissible limit tension 25 of the conveyor belt 1. In the lower diagram it can be seen that the belt tension in the high-temperature zone 21 is largely taken over by the conveyor belt support 5 moved with the conveyor belt, so that the belt tension is clearly below the maximum permissible limit tension 25.
