After the existing technology for firing the foamed ceramic product heat-insulating plate and the heat-insulating brick is subjected to high-temperature melting foaming, the heat-insulating plate and the heat-insulating brick are required to be subjected to rapid cooling treatment, and a molten liquid phase exists in a blank at the moment in a rapid cooling zone, so that the blank can be directly cooled by blowing air without cracking. The temperature of the fired product is rapidly reduced to below 800 ℃ in a rapid cooling zone and then slowly cooled.
When the existing kiln cools the foamed ceramics slowly, the foamed ceramics are cooled generally through blowing air at the blowing openings at two sides of the kiln wall, so that the side cooling is too fast, the intermediate cooling is uneven, and the cooling effect is poor.
