Description

Conveyor drive system for transporting sintering vessel and kiln having the same The present invention relates to a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel and a firing furnace including the same, and more specifically, to a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel and a firing furnace including the same that can prevent damage or breakage of a stopper and/or stopper guide rod by stopping the rotational force provided to the conveyor after the firing vessel arrives at a set position. Unlike primary batteries, which cannot be recharged, secondary batteries refer to batteries that can be charged and discharged. A secondary battery can be composed of a cathode material, an anode material, an electrolyte, and a separator. Among these, the cathode material is an important component that determines the performance of the secondary battery, such as capacity and output. Calcination is a process of adding lithium, the core material of lithium-ion batteries, to a precursor made of cathode material constituents such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese. A high-temperature atmosphere is stably formed inside the kiln, and raw materials can be moved by the operation of a pusher or roller. For example, a long conveyor may be arranged inside the kiln, and a firing container, i.e., a saggar, containing raw materials uniformly supplied from a filler may be located at the top of the conveyor. The firing container can be transported in a set direction by the drive of the conveyor. However, when the firing vessel transported by the conveyor arrives at the set position, its movement may be restricted by a stopper. However, if rotational force is supplied to the conveyor even when movement is restricted by the stopper, continuous collisions between the firing vessel and the stopper may occur, eventually leading to damage or breakage of the stopper. Therefore, there is a need for a technical solution to prevent such stopper damage or breakage problems. As a prior art document related to the present invention, there is Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1981540, and the said prior art document discloses technology regarding a stopper device for a conveyor. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram briefly illustrating a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram briefly illustrating the detailed configuration of a conveyor drive unit that drives a conveyor in a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram briefly illustrating the control configuration of a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel according to one embodiment. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the operating state of a conveyor in which a firing container containing an anode material moves toward a stopper in a conveyor driving system for transporting a firing container according to one embodiment. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which a firing vessel containing an anode material arrives at a set position and its movement is restricted by a stopper in a conveyor drive system for transporting a firing vessel according to one embodiment.
