Rotary Kiln - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031912 titled 'Rotary Kiln

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a rotary kiln that is used for sintering powder raw materials.

  • The rotary kiln consists of a cylindrical rotation tube that rotates horizontally to mix the input powder raw material.
  • The powder raw material is heated using both an external heating device and an internal heating device.
  • The external heating device heats the outside of the rotation tube, while the internal heating device stirs and heats the powder raw material simultaneously.
  • The internal heating device includes a microwave generation part that generates microwaves.
  • The microwaves generated are guided into the rotation tube using a guide part.
  • A stirring heat generation part, coupled to the inner circumferential surface of the rotation tube, stirs the powder raw material and generates heat by absorbing the microwaves.
  • This heat generated by the stirring heat generation part is used to heat the powder raw material in the rotation tube.


Original Abstract Submitted

A rotary kiln comprises: a sintering device provided with a cylindrical rotation tube for mixing an input powder raw material while rotating in a horizontal direction; an external heating device for heating the powder raw material input into the rotation tube by heating the outside of the rotation tube; and an internal heating device for stirring and heating the powder raw material input into the rotation tube simultaneously. The internal heating device includes a microwave generation part for generating microwaves; a guide part for guiding the microwaves generated from the microwave generation part into the rotation tube; and a stirring heat generation part coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the rotation tube for stirring the powder raw material input into the rotation tube and simultaneously generating heat when absorbing the microwaves so as to heat the powder raw material.
