Glass handling system and method for a glass bending furnace

Abstract

The invention provides a glass transporting system for a glass hot bending furnace. The glass transporting system comprises a plurality of trolleys, a first elevator and a second elevator, wherein left and right sides of each trolley are fixedly provided with first blocks, left and right sides of the bottom of each trolley are fixedly provided with second blocks, and a first trolley abuts against a second trolley in a front-to-back sequence; the glass transporting system further comprises a first driving system and a third driving system, wherein the first driving system and the third driving system both comprise a first rotation hook assembly and a first drive unit, and the first rotation hook assemblies can forwardly hook the first blocks and forwardly push the first trolley onto the first elevator after rotation by a certain angle, and can forwardly hook the first blocks and forwardly push a third trolley onto a guide rail after rotation by another certain angle; and the glass transporting system also comprises a second driving system, wherein the second driving system comprises a second rotation hook assembly and a second drive unit, and the second rotation hook assembly can forwardly hook the second blocks of a second trolley located at a tail end after rotation by a certain angle. The glass transporting system is stationary in operation and high in reliability and production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of glass manufacturing, in particular to a glass handling system and method for a glass bending furnace. Background technique [0002] Referring to CN201284288Y, the existing glass handling system of a glass bending furnace generally includes a first layer and a second layer up and down, each layer includes a plurality of trolleys arranged in a row, and there is a lift at each end. A bracket is installed in the trolley, and the glass that needs to be bent is installed on the bracket. For each trolley, it first moves forward in a certain direction along the first layer, and after the hot bending process in the hot bending area, it reaches one end of the first layer; then it is pushed to an elevator by a chain drive device , and then the trolley descends a height along the elevator to reach the second floor, and is pushed down from the elevator and moves in reverse. After reaching the other end, remove the cooled glas...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] First of all, because the rack is used to drive the trolley in the middle, the trolley runs very unstable

Secondly, the glass in the trolley must withstand high temperature during hot bending. If the rack gear is installed on both sides of the trolley, and the trolley is driven through the fixed lateral hook 05, the transmission part must be located in the hot bending furnace. The inner side of the wall 06, so that it is easy to be damaged, stuck, or even shut down at high temperature, so the reliability is low, causing serious waste and greatly reducing production efficiency

However, when pushing the trolley onto the elevator or pushing the trolley off the elevator, the controllability is poor and unstable, which may easily cause damage to the elevator.
