Description
- The present invention relates in general to a system for monitoring correct operation of a tunnel kiln, used for example to fire ceramic articles, and in particular to a system for checking the integrity of the conveyor which advances the articles within the kiln.
- The kilns used to fire ceramic articles comprise a tunnel within which a motorized roller conveyor is arranged to advance the articles to be fired within the kiln.
- The ends of the conveyor rollers project from the tunnel and are supported at one end by idle wheels and at the opposite end by a drive system which rotates the rollers.
- During use of the kiln the conveyor rollers can undergo breakage, in which case they must be replaced in good time to prevent serious mechanical problems arising, with consequent prolonged production interruption. Systems must therefore be provided to detect breakage of the conveyor rollers.
- A first known system consists of positioning, between the tunnel entry and exit, laser beams, typically three equidistant laser beams, lying just below the plane in which the roller conveyor lies. In this manner when a roller breaks, the two roller portions, which incline to the conveyor plane, intercept at least one of the laser beams. This interception of the laser beam by at least one of the portions activates a warning system which warns the user of roller breakage.
- This system has proved inefficient as it gives rise to false warnings due to laser beam deviation imputable mainly to the heat which develops within the kiln and to the gases which form within the tunnel during firing of the articles. A second known system consists of combining with the conveyor a circuit for sensing and indicating roller breakage, comprising a conductor cable which rests tautly above the free end of the conveyor rollers and is maintained at a determined voltage by usual means. A plurality of earthing elements are positioned equidistantly above the plane in which the rollers lie, along the line of the kiln. When a roller breaks, the two portions incline because of the moment generated about the support point. Hence the end of the roller lifts the conductor cable to bring it into contact with the earthing elements. In this manner the electrical characteristics of the sensing circuit change to trigger a roller breakage alarm signal.
- This system also presents drawbacks. In this respect, if the roller breaks close to the side wall of the tunnel kiln, the moment acting on that roller portion having its end associated with the sensing system is very small and the displacement of the end is insufficient to activate the warning circuit, hence the roller breakage is not indicated to the operator.
- The above mentioned system is disclosed in the document
JP 060342275 - Document
JP4036588 - In detail each roller, which comprises a metallic support shaft and a metallic collar, has a wire connected through a lead wire to the positive side of a DC power supply, while the collar is grounded. A detecting circuit is thus constructed in which both electrodes of the power supply are connected to each other through a normally open switch constituted of the wire and the collar. When the roller is broken, the support shaft is pushed out axially by the recoil strength of a compression spring to the side of the kiln wall while pushing the broken roller, and the collar at the rear end of the shaft comes into contact with the wire stretched on the front side of the collar.
- As a result, the switch of the detecting circuit relevant to the unit containing the broken roller is closed, and an electric current flows In the circuit, operating an alarm indicating the breakage of the roller.

- The shielding of the light beam, which is caused by the light shielding plate of a broken roller deviated from the normal position of the roller, is detected as the break of the roller.

The extent of the force exerted by said magnet must not however be sufficient to cause roller displacement during normal operation, but sufficient to cause displacement of a portion thereof in case of breakage.
- According to the invention said warning circuit can be of electrical type or of optical type depending on the actual embodiment.
- The constructional characteristics and merits of the invention will be apparent from the ensuing detailed description given with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, which illustrate some preferred embodiments thereof by way of non-limiting example, and in which:

- Figure 1 shows a
tunnel kiln 1, the interior of which carries aconveyor 2 for advancing the articles to be fired through the kiln. - The
conveyor 2 comprises a plurality ofrollers 3, which in the illustrated embodiment are made of amagnetic material and are internally hollow. However in other embodiments the invention can be used with rollers of different technical and constructional characteristics, for example be neither of amagnetic material nor hollow. - With reference to Figures 1 and 3, the
ends side walls 200 of the kiln throughholes 6. Theholes 6 open into the outer side of thewall 200 and are aligned withcavities 66, coaxial thereto and of greater diameter, provided in anouter infill layer 77. Thecavities 66 are partly filled with loose ceramic fibres 7 the purpose of which is to thermally insulate the kiln interior from the external environment and to provide a pneumatic seal. - The
end 31 if each roller is associated with drive means 8, of known type, which rotate the rollers, whereas theend 30 of each roller is supported byidle wheels 5. Said idle wheels are in contact with aspiral 28 mounted on theend 30 of eachroller 3. - With the
free end 30 of each roller there is associated a system for detecting breakage of rollers of theconveyor 2, comprising awarning circuit 9 and means 10 for exerting on the end of each roller a force sufficient, in case of roller breakage, to cause substantial displacement of that roller portion comprising saidfree end 30. - In the embodiment shown in the figures, the system for detecting breakage of the
rollers 3 comprises (Figure 3) awarning circuit 9, of electrical type, consisting of ametal bar 90 positioned below the plane in which the roller table 2 lies and electrically connected to earth. Adisc 11 of electrically conductive material is positioned below thebar 90 in correspondence with eachroller 3, and is maintained at a determined electrical voltage by ausual voltage generator 12. - The
disc 11 is associated with said means 10 for exerting a force on thefree end 30 of the roller. - According to a first embodiment of the invention (Figure 3), said means 10 comprise an
idle wheel 13 maintained resting against the lower surface of each roller by aspring 14. Thespring 14 is inserted into asupport 15 rigid with theside infill 77 of the kiln. The upper end of thespring 14 carries thedisc 11, from the upper surface of which there branches avertical rod 16 which passes through saidbar 90 and supports at its upper end afork 17 with which the wheel is associated. - By virtue of this configuration, when a
roller 3 breaks, theunderlying spring 14 exerts on the free end of the broken portion of roller 3 a force sufficient to cause it to lift. This causes thedisc 11 to contact thebar 90, with resultant current passage through the bar. This current passage is sensed by an ammeter, not shown, and indicated to the operator via suitable usual acoustic and/or light emitting warning devices. - Figures 6 and 7 show a variant of the invention in which the warning circuit is not of electrical but of optical type.

free end 30 of each roller there is associated, for detecting breakage of the rollers of theconveyor 2, a system comprising awarning circuit 23 and means 24 for exerting on the end of each roller 3 a force sufficient, on roller breakage, to cause that roller portion comprising saidfree end 30 to undergo substantial displacement. - Said means 24 for exerting a force on the free end of the roller comprise a
horizontal bar 25 positioned above the plane in which the roller table lies. With particular reference to Figure 9, in correspondence with eachroller 3 saidbar 25 presents acylindrical cavity 26, the base of which is perforated. In eachcavity 26 there is a cylindricalpermanent magnet 27 arranged to exert a magnetic attraction force on theunderlying roller 3. The extent of this force is such as not to lift theroller 3 during normal kiln operation but to lift an end portion of the roller if it breaks. For this purpose, on theend 30 of the roller there is mounted a spiral 28 (Figure 10) of metal material able to interact with thepermanent magnet 27. - The
warning circuit 23 for sensing any breakage of one of therollers 3 is also associated with said means 23. - The
warning circuit 23 comprises a plurality of electricallyconductive plates 29 fixed above saidbar 25 carrying themagnets 27, a layer of electrically insulatingmaterial 32 being interposed between saidplates 29 and saidbar 25. - Each
