Abstract

Fixation device (1) for ceramic refractory supporting blocks (2), for tunnel kiln cars, characterized by comprising several fixation parts (3) adapted to fit into complementary holes or notches (4), made in corresponding contiguous blocks. The assembled contiguous blocks are prevented from doing movement and/or turn relatively big allowing the differential thermal expansions of the assembled material. <IMAGE>

Description

    Technical sector of the invention.-
  • The present invention refers to a fixing device for refractory supporting blocks for tunnel kiln cars, of the type which are assembled together forming the upper part of the kiln cars. Specifically, the device of the invention is used with advantage to fix together the supporting blocks with a "bridge" or letter Pi-like cross-sectioned shape (greek letter π).
    • Background of the invention.-
  • Usually, in the ceramic industry, the parts being produced are supported and transported on kiln cars that move along the production plant, and on those cars they accede and are submitted to the several process operations. Usually, an assembly of supporting blocks, made of refractory blocks, is placed in the upper part of the kiln car, this assembly of supporting blocks supporting the pieces to be produced, set in one or more layers.
  • Supporting blocks in a prismatic shape, with a letter Pi-like cross-sectioned shape formed by 2 side piers and a bridge part joining them, are well known. Those blocks are usually solid or containing holes for an easier air circulation and, therefore, producing a better heat transmission from the ceramic pieces in contact with the refractory supporting blocks assembly.
  • It is also well known the use of flat smooth refractory slabs, supported by piers. This kind of assembly is not very stable, because the component parts are only supported on each other, but never fixed together so that they could work as a complete block. As a consequence, it is quite usual that this kind of structure gets disassembled, at least partially, as a consequence of the loading and unloading of the ceramic pieces, or of the thermal expansion and shrinkage of the refractory supporting blocks.
  • Fixing devices based on adhesives are not a good solution for refractory blocks, because such adhesives do not allow for the differential expansion of the two materials to be fixed.
  • This problem is solved by the object of the present invention.
    • Explanation of the invention.-
  • The fixing device for ceramic refractory supporting blocks, with a letter Pi-like cross-sectioned shape formed by two side piers and a bridge part joining them, said blocks being arranged one block on top of the other with their piers facing each other, of the present invention is essentially characterized in being composed of several cylindrical or prismatic fixing parts, adapted to fit into corresponding complementary holes or notches made in the piers of the corresponding contiguous blocks, in such a way that the assembled contiguous blocks are prevented from any big amount of movement and/or turning, yet in such a way to allow the differential thermal expansions of the assembled materials.
  • According to another characteristic of the invention, the above mentioned fixing parts are made of hollow tubes, or of bars or pegs, preferably with a cross section similar to the section of the holes or notches made in the fixed refractory blocks, so that the fixing parts, when introduced in the holes or notches, fit with a small gap in between.
    • Brief description of the drawings.-
  • The attached drawings illustrate, for a better understanding and as an example, a non-restrictive particular example of one of the possible execution shapes of the fixation device of the present invention:
    • Fig. 1 is an isometric view of a refractory supporting block, where a hole has been made.
    • Fig. 2 shows an example of a fixing part, in a big scale isometric view.
    • Fig. 3 shows an isometric view of a refractory supporting block, where a hole has been made in one of its faces, containing a fixing part, partially introduced in the hole.
    • Fig 4 shows an isometric view of two refractory supporting blocks, with more than one hole made per block, in order to make them able to receive more than one fixing parts per pair of blocks; and
    • Fig. 5 is an isometric view of an assembly of two refractory supporting blocks, fixed together according to the object of the present invention, showing the blocks superimposed on their piers, on which one or more holes have been made, and being fixed together by at least one fixing part.
    Detailed description of the drawings.-
  • In these drawings, it is possible to see that, according to the object of the present invention, the fixation device for contiguous refractory supporting blocks 2, 2' consists of several fixing parts 3, adapted to fit into corresponding holes or notches 4. In the execution shape represented in the drawings, the fixing parts 3 are cylindrical tubular and they fit into circumferential holes 4, but they could also fit into hollow cylindrical holes. The fixing parts 3 could also be bars or pegs, in this case necessarily fitting into corresponding hollow cylindrical holes. The refractory supporting blocks 2, 2', in the represented case, are of the kind of blocks made of a prismatic shaped refractory piece, with a letter Pi-like cross-sectioned shape formed by 2 side piers 6 and a bridge part 7 joining them, with several holes 5 parallel to its generating direction. The fixing part 3 fits into the holes made in the piers 6 of the refractory supporting blocks 2, 2'.
  • This technical solution for the fixing of refractory supporting blocks 2, 2' can, of course, be used for the fixation of blocks and pieces of different sizes and shapes, as blocks and fixation parts of quadrangular or polygonal transverse section shape, and still being included within object of the present invention.
