Damaged.

再者,如上所述在連續退火爐中使長形狀之處理材進行輝面退火處理時,如第1圖所示,經由入口密封部11將長形狀之處理材1導入至填充有包含氫氣之環境氣體(一般而言係以氫氣及氮氣為主成分之環境氣體)的連續退火爐10內,並且在連續退火爐10內之加熱區12對該處理材1進行間接加熱,將如上方式加熱之處理材1導入至冷卻區13a至13c並使之冷卻,再經由滑槽(chute)15將該處理材1從設有滾輪14a之頂輥室14導入至出口密封部16,並使該處理材1經由出口密封部16從連續退火爐10內導出(參照例如後述之專利文獻1、2)。Further, when the long-shaped processing material is subjected to the glow annealing treatment in the continuous annealing furnace as described above, as shown in FIG. 1, the long-shaped processing material 1 is introduced into the filled portion containing the hydrogen gas via the inlet sealing portion 11. The ambient gas (generally an ambient gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen as a main component) is continuously cooled in the furnace 10, and the treatment material 1 is indirectly heated in the heating zone 12 in the continuous annealing furnace 10, and heated as described above. The treatment material 1 is introduced into the cooling zones 13a to 13c and cooled, and the treatment material 1 is introduced from the top roller chamber 14 provided with the roller 14a to the outlet sealing portion 16 via a chute 15, and the treatment material is made 1 is taken out from the continuous annealing furnace 10 via the outlet sealing portion 16 (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 to be described later).

After the treatment material is indirectly heated, the treated material heated as described above is cooled and annealed in the cooling zone, and the annealed treated material is led out through the outlet sealing portion.

亦即,本發明之目的係在於:為了如上所述補充從上述入口密封部或出口密封部漏出之環境氣體,並且使與處理材一同導入至連續退火爐內之氧與氫氣產生反應以充分地進行處理,而在將前述環境氣體從環境氣體供給裝置供給至連續退火爐內之情形下,抑制供給至連續退火爐內之過剩的環境氣體排出至外部,並且有效地利用包含於過剩之環境氣體的氫氣。That is, the object of the present invention is to replenish the ambient gas leaking from the inlet seal portion or the outlet seal portion as described above, and to cause oxygen and hydrogen gas introduced into the continuous annealing furnace together with the treatment material to react sufficiently with the hydrogen gas. In the case where the ambient gas is supplied from the ambient gas supply device to the continuous annealing furnace, the excess ambient gas supplied into the continuous annealing furnace is suppressed from being discharged to the outside, and the ambient gas contained in the excess is effectively utilized. Hydrogen.

為了要解決前述課題,本發明之連續退火爐係具備:入口密封部,使長形狀之處理材導入;加熱區,藉由燃燒部之燃燒使處理材間接加熱;冷卻區,用以冷卻經加熱之處理材;及出口密封部,使經冷卻之處理材導出;並且使經由前述入口密封部而導入之處理材在包含氫氣之環境氣體中連續從前述加熱區搬送至冷卻區並使之退火,並經由前述出口密封部使經退火處理之處理材導出者;在該連續退火爐內設置有:環境氣體供給裝置,用以將前述環境氣體供給至該連續退火爐內;及環境氣體控制裝置,用以將連續退火爐內之過剩的環境氣體導引至前述加熱區之燃燒部。In order to solve the above problems, the continuous annealing furnace of the present invention comprises: an inlet sealing portion for introducing a long-shaped processing material; a heating portion for indirectly heating the processing material by combustion of the burning portion; and a cooling portion for cooling and heating And the outlet sealing portion, the cooled processing material is led out; and the processing material introduced through the inlet sealing portion is continuously conveyed from the heating zone to the cooling zone and annealed in an ambient gas containing hydrogen gas. And discharging the annealed treated material through the outlet sealing portion; wherein the continuous annealing furnace is provided with: an ambient gas supply device for supplying the ambient gas into the continuous annealing furnace; and an ambient gas control device, The method is used to guide excess ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace to the combustion portion of the heating zone.

在此,在該連續退火爐中,用以使處理材間接加熱之前述加熱區係可使用在供處理材通過之內管的外周側設置外管、且在前述內管與外管之間的燃燒部中進行燃燒者,亦即使用所謂之隔焰(muffle)式者。Here, in the continuous annealing furnace, the heating zone for indirectly heating the treatment material may be provided with an outer tube on the outer peripheral side of the inner tube through which the treatment material passes, and between the inner tube and the outer tube. The person who burns in the burning portion uses the so-called muffle type.

再者,在前述內管與外管之間的燃燒部中進行燃燒時,係可在前述外管設置燃燒器等燃燒裝置。Further, when the combustion is performed in the combustion portion between the inner tube and the outer tube, a combustion device such as a burner may be provided in the outer tube.

此外,在前述連續退火爐中,藉由環境氣體控制裝置將連續退火爐內之過剩的環境氣體導引至加熱區之燃燒部時,在環境氣體之溫度非常高的情形下,由於機器類之耐熱性等原因,難以將環境氣體導引至加熱區之燃燒部,因此較佳為將過剩之環境氣體從環境氣體經某種程度冷卻之冷卻區導引至加熱區之燃燒部。Further, in the continuous annealing furnace, when the excess ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace is guided to the combustion portion of the heating zone by the ambient gas control device, in the case where the temperature of the ambient gas is very high, For reasons such as heat resistance, it is difficult to guide the ambient gas to the combustion portion of the heating zone. Therefore, it is preferable to guide the excess ambient gas from the cooling zone where the ambient gas is cooled to some extent to the combustion section of the heating zone.

再者,如上方式藉由環境氣體控制裝置將過剩的環境氣體從連續退火爐內導引至加熱區之燃燒部時,由於包含在該環境氣體之氫氣會在燃燒部中適當地燃燒而消耗,因此前述燃燒部之溫度較佳為氫氣之著火溫度以上。Further, when the excess ambient gas is guided from the continuous annealing furnace to the combustion portion of the heating zone by the ambient gas control device as described above, since the hydrogen contained in the ambient gas is appropriately burned in the combustion portion, it is consumed. Therefore, the temperature of the combustion portion is preferably equal to or higher than the ignition temperature of the hydrogen gas.

在本發明之連續退火爐中,由於係作成如上方式藉由環境氣體控制裝置將連續退火爐內之過剩的環境氣體從連續退火爐內導引至加熱區之燃燒部,因此如上方式導入之過剩的環境氣體所含之氫氣會在該燃燒部中燃燒。In the continuous annealing furnace of the present invention, since the excess ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace is guided from the continuous annealing furnace to the combustion portion of the heating zone by the ambient gas control device as described above, the excess is introduced as described above. The hydrogen contained in the ambient gas is burned in the combustion section.

結果,在本發明之連續退火爐中,連續退火爐內之過剩的環境氣體所含之氫氣將有效地利用在加熱區之燃燒部中的燃燒,並且抑制過剩的環境氣體從連續退火爐內排出至外部,且無須使該環境氣體冷卻,或以空氣稀釋環境氣體,而使成本減低。As a result, in the continuous annealing furnace of the present invention, the hydrogen contained in the excess ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace will effectively utilize the combustion in the combustion portion of the heating zone, and suppress the excess ambient gas from being discharged from the continuous annealing furnace. To the outside, and without having to cool the ambient gas, or dilute the ambient gas with air, the cost is reduced.

並且,在燃燒部12d之溫度成為氫氣之著火溫度以上時,為了使由前述壓力計31所測量之連續退火爐10內之環境氣體的壓力成為預定值,藉由前述控制手段32打開前述第1閥33a及第2閥33b,另一方面,關閉前述第3閥34a,經由前述導引管33將連續退火爐10內之過剩的環境氣體導引至加熱區12之燃燒部12d。When the temperature of the combustion portion 12d is equal to or higher than the ignition temperature of the hydrogen gas, the first control unit 32 opens the first one in order to set the pressure of the ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace 10 measured by the pressure gauge 31 to a predetermined value. On the other hand, the valve 33a and the second valve 33b close the third valve 34a, and the excess ambient gas in the continuous annealing furnace 10 is guided to the combustion portion 12d of the heating zone 12 via the guide pipe 33.

並且,藉由前述燃燒裝置12c使如上方式導入至燃燒部12d之包含於環境氣體之氫氣燃燒,並經由前述排氣管12e與燃燒排氣一同排出至外部。Then, the combustion apparatus 12c introduces the hydrogen gas contained in the ambient gas into the combustion unit 12d as described above, and discharges it to the outside together with the combustion exhaust gas via the exhaust pipe 12e.

若以上述方式進行的話,可防止連續退火爐10內之包含氫氣之環境氣體直接排出至外部,並且將所排出之包含於環境氣體的氫氣有效地利用在加熱區12之燃燒部12d的燃燒。In the above manner, the ambient gas containing hydrogen gas in the continuous annealing furnace 10 can be prevented from being directly discharged to the outside, and the discharged hydrogen contained in the ambient gas can be effectively utilized for combustion in the combustion portion 12d of the heating zone 12.

再者,在未於前述加熱區12之燃燒部12d進行燃燒時等,亦可藉由前述控制手段32打開前述第1閥33a及第3閥34a,另一方面,關閉前述第2閥33b,使前述環境氣體從排出管34排出至外部。Further, when the combustion portion 12d of the heating zone 12 is not being burned, the first valve 33a and the third valve 34a may be opened by the control means 32, and the second valve 33b may be closed. The ambient gas is discharged from the discharge pipe 34 to the outside.

此外,在本實施形態中,在前述加熱區12中對處理材1進行間接加熱時,將該加熱區12作成為雙重管構造,並且在外管12b設置燃燒器等燃燒裝置12c,藉由該燃燒裝置12c在內管12a與外管12b之間的燃燒部12d進行燃燒,但亦可在內管12a之外周側設置作為燃燒部之輻射管爐(未圖示),並且將包含氫氣之環境氣體導引至此輻射管爐(未圖示)。Further, in the present embodiment, when the treatment material 1 is indirectly heated in the heating zone 12, the heating zone 12 is formed into a double pipe structure, and a combustion device 12c such as a burner is provided in the outer pipe 12b by the combustion. The device 12c performs combustion in the combustion portion 12d between the inner tube 12a and the outer tube 12b, but a radiant tube furnace (not shown) as a combustion portion may be provided on the outer peripheral side of the inner tube 12a, and an ambient gas containing hydrogen gas Guided to this radiant tube furnace (not shown).

再者,在前述實施形態之連續退火爐10中,亦可作成經由前述入口密封部11或出口密封部16將從連續退火爐10內流出至外部的前述環境氣體導引至加熱區12之燃燒部12d,並且在燃燒部12d中使包含於該環境氣體之氫氣燃燒(未圖示)。Further, in the continuous annealing furnace 10 of the above-described embodiment, the ambient gas which flows out from the continuous annealing furnace 10 to the outside through the inlet sealing portion 11 or the outlet sealing portion 16 may be guided to the combustion of the heating zone 12. In the portion 12d, the hydrogen contained in the ambient gas is burned (not shown) in the combustion portion 12d.
