Abstract

PURPOSE:To furnish controlling equipment of atmosphere of a furnace which enables easy control of the atmosphere of the furnace independently of a heat curve of burning. CONSTITUTION:A gas supply pipeline 3 and an air supply pipeline 4 to a burner 2 are provided respectively with proportional valves 5 and 6 which make an air/gas ratio fixed over all of the output range, and an arbitrary heat curve is obtained while an oxidizing atmosphere is maintained. On the upstream side of the gas supply pipeline 3, a gas pressure setting proportional valve 7 which changes a gas pressure in accordance with an output is provided. Only a gas flow rate is increased by increasing the gas pressure and thereby the atmosphere in a furnace is made a reducing one. Besides, it is also possible to detect the concentration of oxygen in the furnace and to execute a feedback control.

2. Description of the Related Art In a firing furnace for ceramics, it is often necessary to perform firing in a oxidizing atmosphere up to a predetermined temperature and then switch to a reducing atmosphere. For this reason, conventionally, a valve whose air / gas ratio changes according to the output is attached to the gas supply line to the burner and the air supply line, and this valve is opened while monitoring the atmosphere in the furnace with the CO sensor. The air / gas ratio of the burner was rapidly changed by adjusting the degree to switch to the reducing atmosphere.

However, in such a conventional method, since the opening of the valve needs to be changed when the heat curve of firing changes, the atmosphere may change accordingly, and the furnace is independent of the heat curve of firing. It was not easy to control the atmosphere. Further, in the conventional method, it is necessary to use a highly accurate CO sensor, which causes a problem that the equipment cost is high.

The air supply pipe line 4 is connected to a blower (not shown) so that air of a constant pressure is always supplied. However, a gas pressure setting proportional valve 7 is provided upstream of the proportional valve 5 in the gas supply line 3. The gas pressure setting proportional valve 7 has a function of changing the gas pressure in proportion to the output as shown in FIG. 3, and is controlled by the program controller 8.

When a predetermined time has passed, the program controller 8 sends a signal to the gas pressure setting proportional valve 7 to rapidly increase the gas pressure as shown in FIG. In response to this, the flow rate of the gas supplied from the gas supply pipeline 3 to the burner 2 increases, but the proportional valve 5 of the gas supply pipeline 3 increases.
Since the opening degree of is kept constant, the opening degree of the proportional valve 6 of the air supply line 4 does not change. As a result, the inside of the furnace suddenly changes to a reducing atmosphere. Moreover, the CO concentration at that time becomes constant according to the change in the gas pressure. Therefore, if the gas pressure set value by the program controller 8 is set in advance, the CO concentration can be determined without strictly monitoring the CO concentration in the furnace. It can be controlled with an accuracy of ± 0.5%.

As described above, according to the present invention, the gas supply line to the burner of the furnace and the air supply line are provided with the proportional valves for keeping the air / gas ratio constant over the entire output range. The temperature in the furnace can be freely controlled while keeping the atmosphere in an oxidizing atmosphere, and an arbitrary firing heat curve can be obtained. In addition, since a gas pressure setting proportional valve that changes the gas pressure according to the output is installed upstream of the proportional valve in the gas supply line, the gas pressure in the gas supply line is changed to rapidly reduce the inside of the furnace. It can change into a sexual atmosphere. Therefore, according to the present invention, the atmosphere of the furnace can be easily controlled independently of the heat curve of firing. In the case of the first aspect of the present invention, since the atmosphere sensor in the furnace is not required, there is an advantage that the facility cost can be reduced. Therefore, the present invention, as a furnace atmosphere control device to solve the conventional problems,
The contribution to the industry is extremely large.
