Recently, Cirrus type continuous annealing furnaces have become preferred for continuous annealing lines and continuous galvanizing lines, but as equipment becomes larger, compact furnaces are desired. The copper strip has a good shape and good tracking performance because the copper strip can be heated above the recrystallization temperature in one pass. This seems to be due to the following reasons.

FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a continuous annealing furnace including a vertical direct-fire heating f. The steel strip 31 is preheated to about 200 to 300°C in a preheating furnace 32 with waste gas from a direct heating furnace 33, and then heated to 560 to 760°C in a direct heating furnace 33. The steel strip 31 heated in the direct-fired heating furnace 33 is then heat-treated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere furnace 37 consisting of a soaking furnace 34, a rapid cooling furnace 35, and a slow cooling furnace 36 to complete the annealing process. The atmosphere in the non-oxidizing atmosphere furnace 37 is different from that in the preheating furnace 32 and the direct-fired heating furnace 33, in that the steel strip 31 is at a high temperature and the temperature of the atmospheric gas is low, especially in the latter stage, so that the atmosphere is completely non-oxidizing. Oxygen (02

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a schematic configuration of the vertical direct-fired heating furnace 33. The vertical direct-fired heating furnace 33 usually has a plurality of heating zones in the advancing direction of the steel strip 31, in the case of this figure, a first zone 41, a second zone 42, a third zone 43, and a fourth zone 44. It is divided into four zones. In the first zone 41, combustion is performed at an air-fuel ratio of about 1.0, but as the combustion zone progresses, the air-fuel ratio is lowered, and in the final zone, combustion is performed at an air-fuel ratio of about 0.85 to 0.95. There is.

In the above configuration, when the heating load of the direct-fired heating furnace 33 fluctuates, the number of heating zones is increased or decreased depending on the heating load, such as turning the heating zone ON-OFF or turning off the heating zone in each heating zone. The amount of combustion is changed. and,
Ignition in the heating zone usually starts from the fourth zone 44 and moves to the first zone 41, and extinguishing starts from the first zone 41 and moves to the fourth zone. In addition, the combustion amount of the burner in each heating zone can be turned down from full combustion, which produces 100% combustion capacity, to combustion, which produces only about 10% of its combustion capacity, but this may affect the stability of the entire combustion equipment. The turndown range is set from 100% to 20-25%, and if the combustion amount is less than that, the fire is extinguished in that zone.

As described above, in the vertical direct-fired heating furnace 33, each heating zone is turned on according to fluctuations in heating load.

Since it is turned off, the amount of waste gas in the vertical direct-fired heating furnace 33 will vary greatly. On the other hand, in the vertical direct-fired furnace 33, the high-temperature (over 1260°C) combustion generated gas containing unburned material directly collides with the steel strip 31 to perform reductive heating, so the distance between the burner and the copper strip is reduced. is small,
Therefore, the furnace volume is also small, which, together with the fluctuations in the amount of waste gas mentioned above, is a factor that increases the fluctuations in the pressure inside the furnace. An installed waste gas damper (not shown) allows
Although it is controlled to about 5-10 mmH2O,
The pressure fluctuation when the burner is turned on and off is rapid, and it is difficult for a damper with a slow response to absorb this sudden pressure fluctuation.

Further, the direct fire heating furnace 33 is different from the preheating furnace 32 in an upper throat portion 46 and in the non-oxidizing atmosphere furnace 37 is a lower throat portion 47.
However, in order to prevent the steel strip 31 from coming into contact with the bricks of the furnace body and causing scratches, there is a gap of about 100 mm at the throat, so the pressure from one furnace to the other is It is hardly possible to prevent the propagation, and 2 to 3 seconds after pressure fluctuation occurs during ignition or extinguishing in the direct-fired heating furnace 33, a similar phenomenon as shown in Fig. 5 occurs in the non-oxidizing atmosphere furnace 37. Pressure fluctuations occur, pressure hunts and becomes negative pressure,
If the sealing performance of the furnace is abnormal, air may be sucked into the furnace and the steel strip 31 may become oxidized.

[Lesson 1 that the invention attempts to solve! ] As a measure to prevent pressure from propagating from one furnace to another as described above, the inventors have proposed a technique described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-57692. As shown in Fig. 6, in a direct-fired vertical continuous annealing furnace, an intermediate part is installed between the vertical direct-fired heating furnace 33 and the non-oxidizing atmosphere furnace 37, which is maintained at a higher internal pressure than both furnaces. A chamber 51 is provided. This intermediate chamber 51 is intended to prevent the pressure inside the furnace from propagating from one furnace to another, but the entrance 52 of the steel strip 31 to this intermediate chamber 51 is
Since the steel strip 31, which has strict requirements for surface quality, constantly passes through the outlet 53 at high speed, it is necessary to provide a sufficient gap so that the steel strip 31 does not come into contact with each other. It was very difficult to maintain the furnace pressure higher than that of the furnace. Furthermore, it has been found that although maintaining the internal pressure of the intermediate chamber 51 higher than the internal pressure of both the front and rear furnaces is effective when extinguishing the direct-fired heating furnace 33, it is not necessarily high when igniting. In other words, it has been found that the internal pressure of the intermediate chamber 51 must not only be kept high, but also that the internal pressure of the intermediate chamber 51 can be appropriately controlled, and that it must be airtight to maintain the internal pressure in an appropriate state. .
