Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a setter for a roller hearth kiln used for firing various ceramic components such as, typically, ceramic electronic components or functional ceramic materials, in a roller hearth kiln.
- Ceramic components such as ceramic electronic components or functional ceramic materials are placed on ceramic support plates called a "setter" when fired. In order to reduce heat transferred out of the kiln by a setter as much as possible during firing of ceramic components, a setter is commonly formed in a thin quadrate planar shape, as shown in
JP 08-178549 A - Various types of kilns are known for firing ceramic components placed on such substantially planar setters, among which the roller hearth kiln is most commonly used in applications where mass-productivity matters. As well known, a roller hearth kiln has a large number of ceramic rollers arranged at constant pitches inside the kiln, which are rotated in the same direction to move the setters forward at constant speed during firing.
- Sometimes, however, setters travelling on the rollers cannot maintain their aligned orientation due to some factors such as roller bending or foreign substances adhered on rollers, and their orientation may be disturbed as shown in
Fig. 1 . Although the corners of the setters are each rounded, the circumferential surfaces of the setters are straight, so that, when corners touch the straight surfaces of setters in the front and back as shown in the left row ofFig. 1 , they make point contact, and the stress concentrated at the contact point would sometimes lead to chipping or cracking of setters. - When the setters are closely aligned to each other on the rollers, the corners of the setters would sometimes contact the straight surfaces of left and right setters as shown in
Fig. 2 , and, similarly, the stress concentrated at the contact point sometimes lead to chipping or cracking of setters. - Moreover, as the setters travel on the rollers, they may hit the preceding setters. In this case, one of the setters may ride over another setter as shown in
Fig. 3 , or, two setters may abut each other and their abutted ends may lift up, as shown inFig. 4 . These cases produce problems such as firing defects in ceramic components placed on the setter below, dropping of ceramic components from setters, or contact between ceramic components on the setters. - Accordingly, an objective of the present invention is to solve these problems encountered by conventional technologies, and to provide a setter for a roller hearth kiln that can prevent chipping or cracking, or overriding or uplifting, even when setters contact each other inside the roller hearth kiln.
- A setter for a roller hearth kiln according to the present invention made to solve the problems described above includes a substantially quadrate planar body, and a protrusion formed at edges of the planar body , wherein four sides defining an outline of the planar body each have a central straight part and tapered parts at both ends of the straight part, the tapered parts being tapered inwards toward respective corners.
- Preferably, PQ/L = 0.04 to 0.15, where PQ is a length from an intersection P between extension lines of straight parts of two adjacent sides and a start point Q of a tapered part, and L is a length of one side. Preferably, a round chamfer is formed at each corner. The protrusion may be formed either all around circumference of the planar body or at each corner and two opposite sides of the planar body. Preferably, the protrusion has an outer side face that is formed by a lower inclined surface inclined inwards from a vertical surface orthogonal to a bottom surface, and an upper inclined surface inclined at a larger angle inwards. The lower inclined surface should preferably be inclined from the vertical surface orthogonal to the bottom surface at an angle α of 1 to 5°, and the upper inclined surface should preferably be inclined from the vertical surface orthogonal to the bottom surface at an angle β of 5 to 25°. Preferably, an angled chamfer is formed at a bottom part of the outer side face of the protrusion.
- The setter for a roller hearth kiln according to the present invention includes tapered parts tapered inwards toward respective corners at both ends of four sides that define the outline of the planar body, so that they tend to make surface contact when they touch each other, and cracking is less likely to occur in the contact parts. As set forth in
claim 2, preferably, PQ/L = 0.04 to 0.15, to achieve a good balance. With a configuration formed with a round chamfer at each corner as set forth inclaim 3, the effect of reducing possible chipping in corners upon contact can be increased. - The protrusion may be formed all around circumference of the planar body as set forth in
claim 4, to reliably prevent the products to be fired from dropping off. The protrusion may be formed at each corner and two opposite sides of the planar body as set forth inclaim 5 so that two other sides where no protrusion is formed are flat surfaces, in which case there will be an advantage that foreign substances can be readily scraped off from the surfaces of the setters. - The protrusion may have an outer side face that is formed by a lower inclined surface inclined inwards from a vertical surface orthogonal to a bottom surface, and an upper inclined surface inclined at a larger angle inwards as set forth in
claim 6, so that, even when the protrusions of the front and rear setters collide each other, there will only be generated a downward force in the contact point. Accordingly, overriding or uplifting of setters as would occur conventionally can be prevented. The effect described above will fully be achieved if the lower inclined surface is inclined from the vertical surface orthogonal to the bottom surface at an angle α of 1 to 5°, and the upper inclined surface is inclined from the vertical surface orthogonal to the bottom surface at an angle β of 5 to 25°. - With a configuration formed with an angled chamfer at a bottom part of the outer side face of the protrusion as set forth in
claim 9, chipping or cracking in bottom parts of the setters contacting the rollers can be reduced. -

-
Fig. 5 is a plan view illustrating a setter according to a first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the setter for a roller hearth kiln of the present invention is made up of aplanar body 1 that is substantially quadrate in plan view, and aprotrusion 2 formed at the edges of theplanar body 1. Theplanar body 1 may be square or rectangular, but should preferably have an aspect ratio in the range of 2/3 to 3/2, because the closer it is to square, the less likely the setters' orientation on the rollers will be disturbed. The illustrated example has an aspect ratio of 6/5. The length L of one side may be suitably set in accordance with the purposes of use; commonly, it is about 300 to 800 mm. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , the four sides that define the outline of theplanar body 1 each include astraight part 3, andtapered parts 4 andcorners 5 at both ends thereof. Thecorners 5 are chamfered with a radius of curvature R. Such chamfers were also provided in conventional setters for preventing thecorners 5 from chipping when hit. The suitable range of R is about 5 to 30 mm irrespective of the size of the setters. - The
tapered parts 4, which are formed between thecorners 5 andstraight parts 3, are characteristic to the present invention and not provided in conventional counterparts. As shown inFig. 5 , thetapered part 4 has a surface inclined inwards toward thecorner 5 at an angle of γ. The angle γ is 2 to 10°; in this embodiment, it is 2.9°. The length PQ, from an imaginary corner point P shown inFig. 5 to a start point Q of thetapered part 4, is about 4 to 15% of the side length L, i.e., PQ/L = 0.04 to 0.15. Here, the "imaginary corner point P" refers to an intersection between extension lines of thestraight parts 3 of two adjacent sides. - With such
tapered parts 4 being formed, even when setters' orientation is disturbed as shown inFig. 6 , thetapered part 4 of one setter will more likely contact thestraight part 3 or taperedpart 4 of an adjacent setter. In this case, the setters will make surface contact as shown in the enlarged view on the upper side inFig. 6 , so that stress concentration at contact parts will be prevented. Accordingly, the rate of cracking can be reduced as compared to conventional setters withouttapered parts 4. - The
protrusion 2 is formed to prevent ceramic components, which are the products to be fired, from dropping off, and itsouter side face 6 is usually a vertical surface orthogonal to thebottom surface 7. However, in that case, if front and rear setters contact each other on the rollers, an upward force may be generated in the contact surfaces as shown inFig. 4 , as a result of which one setter may ride over the other, or abutted ends of both setters may lift up, as mentioned above. - To avoid this problem, in this embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 7 , theouter side face 6 of theprotrusion 2 is formed by a lowerinclined surface 9 inclined at an angle α inwards from avertical surface 8 orthogonal to thebottom surface 7, and an upperinclined surface 10 inclined at a larger angle β inwards. The angle α is 1 to 5°; in this embodiment, it is 3°. The angle P is 5 to 25°; in this embodiment, it is 8°. If the angles α and β are smaller than these ranges, the effects described below will not be sufficiently achieved, and if they are larger, the lower parts may become too sharp. - The lower
inclined surface 9 generates a downward force in contact surfaces when the setters contact each other as shown inFig. 4 , thereby preventing the setter ends from lifting up. They also prevent chipping or cracking in setters when they collide each other due to warping in rollers. - The upper
inclined surface 10 generates a downward force in contact surfaces when the setters contact each other as shown inFig. 8 , thereby preventing one setter from riding over another. Namely, even if an end of one setter lifts up over the lowerinclined surface 9, the downward force generated in the contact surfaces is larger, since the inclination angle β of the upperinclined surface 10 is larger than the inclination angle α of the lowerinclined surface 9, so that overriding is reliably prevented. Also, the effect of preventing chipping or cracking when front and rear setters collide each other is achieved. - In this embodiment, further, an
angled chamfer 11 is provided at an angle of 45° at the lower end of theouter side face 6 of theprotrusion 2, as shown inFig. 7 . Suchangled chamfers 11 can prevent chipping in the bottom part, and also prevent chipping or cracking in setters when they collide each other due to warping in rollers. This part may be substituted by a round chamfer. In this embodiment, a chamfer angle of theangled chamfer 11 is 45° and a chamfering length is 2 mm. - The top of the
protrusion 2 may be a flat surface parallel to thebottom surface 7, but in this embodiment, it is formed as around chamfer surface 12. It may have any size; in this embodiment, it is 4 mmR. Such around chamfer surface 12 can prevent chipping in the tops of setters when the setters are stacked up in multiple stages. - A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in
Fig. 10 onwards. In this embodiment, theprotrusion 2 is formed at each corner and two opposite sides of theplanar body 1. The setter according to the second embodiment is suitable for applications where the setters are closely aligned to each other on the rollers as shown inFig. 2 . Theprotrusions 2 are formed on two lateral sides on the left and right of the setters. - The
protrusion 2 has such a cross-sectional shape as shown inFig. 12 , which is similar to that of theprotrusion 2 of the previously described first embodiment. However, at the corners, the protrusions extend a length of about 30 to 60 mm as denoted at PQ inFig. 10 along the front and rear sides. With the ends of theanti-drop protrusions 2 being extended in this way, damage to setters when adjacent setters contact each other as shown inFig. 2 is prevented. Since the setters according to this second embodiment are closely aligned to each other side by side, they are unlikely to rotate largely as shown inFig. 1 . Therefore, there is little possibility that corners will contact the centers of the front and back sides as shown inFig. 1 , and so theprotrusions 2 are not formed along the front and back sides except for the corners. While the setters' positions in the advancing direction may be misaligned between adjacent rows on the rollers, theprotrusions 2 formed along the entire length of the two, left and right, sides reduce any possible damage when corners of adjacent setters contact each other. - Since the front and back sides do not have
protrusions 2 and are flat surfaces in the second embodiment, when cleaning the setters taken out of the kiln to remove foreign substances adhered on the surface, this embodiment advantageously allows such foreign substances to be readily scraped off through the flat portions where noprotrusions 2 are provided. Another advantage is that the area for placing products to be fired is increased by the area where noprotrusions 2 are provided. Accordingly, the setter of the second embodiment provides the effect of improving the productivity. - The material of the setters in the present invention may be, but not limited to, ceramics such as alumina, zirconia, SiC, and the like, which are excellent in high temperature strength, and in particular, may preferably be SiC that has high thermal conductivity and thermal radiation.
- Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be presented with comparative examples.
- Tables 1 and 2 show the results of firing tests conducted with the use of setters according to the examples of the present invention and comparative examples, and a 10 m-long roller hearth kiln, at a maximum temperature of 1400°C to fire ceramic components made of a cordierite material. The dimensions and angles in the tables are defined as shown in
Fig. 8 . The setters were conveyed in two rows for a duration of 24 hours from the entrance to the exit. Examples 1 to 24 are the setters according to the first embodiment, and examples 25 to 30 are the setters according to the second embodiment. The distance PQ of the ends of the protrusions extending along the adjacent sides was 50 mm in all cases. - Setters of Examples 1 to 7 and Examples 25 to 28 showed the most favorable test results. Setters of Examples 8 to 18 showed good results although slight chipping occurred. Setters of Examples 19 to 24 and Examples 29 and 30 showed occasional chipping, collision and uplifting, overriding, or the like, but only to an extent considered non-problematic in practical applications. Setters of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 specified in Table 2 that were out of ranges of the present invention showed results that were unfavorable in practical applications, with frequent chipping and cracking.
