SUPPORT APPLIANCE FOR ROTARY KILN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid an abnormal contact bearing pressure from being formed between a tire and a support roller and allow the whole surfaces of the tire and the support roller to uniformly contact with each other by a moving thruster roller. SOLUTION: A cylindrical kiln trunk 2 having an inclined axis is rotatably supported to a pair of left/right support rollers 4L and 4R in a part of the tire 3 provided therein. Bearing parts 6L and 6R of the support rollers 4L and 4R are fixed and supported to independent roller mount boards 7L and 7R respectively. The moving thruster roller 11a is fixed and supported on a thruster mount board 9 independent from the roller mount boards 7L and 7R. The moving thruster roller 11a regulates the movement of the tire 3 in the kiln axial direction and reciprocates the tire 3 on the support roller 4 in the kiln axial direction. The moving thruster roller 11a is provided between the roller mount boards 7L and 7R. The support bearings 13L and 13R restrict the roller mount boards 7L and 7R not to move in the kiln axial direction and support them to incline according to the inclination of the tire 3.
