Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a mechanism and apparatus manufacturing method for firing charcoal optimum for application purposes in a short time at a low temperature by infrared heating.

Conventional charcoal calcination has used the combustion heat of wood, heavy oil, and kerosene for digging soil into a calciner or heating in a large metal calciner. For this reason, it is difficult to adjust the temperature rise and the uniform heating temperature, and it takes 1 to 2 days because cooling is also performed in a firing furnace. Moreover, in the elimination of fuming, a method of burning fuming gas was taken, and the amount of bamboo vinegar and wood vinegar containing useful element components was collected in a small amount.
In addition, the utilization of charcoal and liquid has become a single one.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  The challenge is to be able to make abundant homogeneous charcoal and liquid in a short time with energy saving. In addition, it is a challenge to be able to make charcoal that is safe and easy to use, whether it is in the garden or in the mountains, and as a light work for the elderly and the physically disabled.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts a heating method using infrared rays. As a result, energy-saving and abundant homogeneous charcoal can be made in a short time. Moreover, since the fuming gas is liquefied by cooling the water tank, it can be collected abundantly. In addition, by making the mechanism and the device simple, it is easy to move, and the firing place can be in the garden or in the mountains.

  In the present invention, the infrared heating and baking chamber and the small smoke cooling chamber are connected by an exhaust pipe.

  The configuration of the firing chamber is that the cylindrical outer casing uses stainless steel to suppress heat scattering, ceramics are placed on the inside and bottom, placing importance on heat storage, and heater wires are placed along the ceramics in the infrared Configure the heating source. The temperature is set by a current controller with a current-carrying rate control attached to the outside. The upper lid opens when the charcoal material is charged and the charcoal is taken out. When the door is closed, the firing chamber is airtight and air is shut off.

  The low-smoke cooling chamber has a cooling water tank inside to cool the fuming gas into a heavy gas and then liquefy it. Drip it into a collection bottle. In addition, a chimney is provided in the upper part of the small smoke cooling chamber so that a slight amount of smoke can be monitored. The initial stage of carbonization is grayish white smoke, followed by brownish gray smoke, and finally blueish white smoke can be seen.

  The firing chamber and the small smoke cooling chamber are connected by an exhaust gas pipe. A gas passage on / off valve is provided at the center of the exhaust gas pipe.

  The caster base, the firing chamber, the small smoke cooling chamber, and the exhaust gas pipe have a removable assembly mechanism.

  Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. First, fill the cooling water tank with water. In order to raise the temperature of the firing chamber in a short time, the valve of the gas pipe is set to the closed position. Set the temperature controller to the maximum scale of 10. The temperature controller also functions as a power switch, and the red pilot lamp lights up. When the thermometer reaches 650 ° C, the valve of the gas pipe is opened, and the temperature controller is set to the position where the pilot lamp is turned off. Open the upper lid of the firing chamber and put bamboo material into the lid. Carbonized and fired in about 1 minute due to infrared heating effect. Immediately open the upper lid, take out the bamboo charcoal, put it in a separately prepared cooling water tank and quench it. Activated carbon is completed.

  If the cooling method is performed with a separately prepared firewood, white charcoal is produced. It becomes soft black charcoal when cooled with a powder or sand. Moreover, when it cools in a baking chamber, it takes about 2 hours until it cools to 80 degrees C or less, but it becomes hard black coal.

  When bamboo is first put in and heated up, the color change of smoke can be monitored. Carbonized and fired at about 350 ° C. The time between them is about 30 minutes.

  The charcoal to be taken out during the carbonization and firing is a new type of charcoal. Further, if the infrared heating is continued after the carbonization firing is finished, the decomposition of the carbon fiber proceeds, and finally the ash containing a trace amount of mineral elements remains.

  Bamboo vinegar can collect 100CC per kg of bamboo. By changing the heating temperature for carbonization firing, it is possible to adjust from weak alkalinity to weak acidity.

  Mineral element components and useful elements such as transition metal elements are concentrated in the epidermis of bamboo and trees due to the action of geomagnetism. Bamboo is hollow and contains the most useful elements per unit weight. It is desirable to be mainly carbonized and fired bamboo, which has excellent useful effects and does not require resource depletion.

The invention's effect

  The effects of charcoal are more detailed for older farmers, but little is known about making the best charcoal for the intended use. Organic farming is being promoted for food safety, but the current situation is difficult due to concerns about the yield. However, according to the present invention, it is possible to make charcoal of quality and quantity suitable for the field condition of each farmer by one's hand. By mixing a small amount of coal with compost, it is possible to decompose malodors, promote growth, improve nutritional value with high mineral content, and harvest large amounts of lively crops. In hydroponic cultivation, bamboo charcoal is placed in the water source, so that the nutrients of bacteria and bacteria and nutrients such as potassium and calcium, which are rich in water solubility, are given to the crops. This is an improvement in agriculture that increases the number of consecutive crops. It is suitable for work during the agricultural off season in snowy countries. Even in the home, it is possible to make effective use of charcoal with your own handmade charcoal, from the floor to the entrance, bath, refrigerator, sink, toilet, under the floor, etc., to the kitchen garden and in the car. Semi-baked charcoal and masking can be easily fired, and can be used by charcoal lovers and craftsmen.
