Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and in particular to an apparatus and method for manufacturing electrofused quartz glass. Background Technology

[0002] Fused silica glass, also known as synthetic fused silica or fused silica glass, is a high-purity amorphous silica material. It is produced by melting high-purity silica sand at high temperatures in an electric arc furnace or resistance furnace. It has excellent physical, chemical, and optical properties and is widely used in high-tech fields. The typical fusion method involves lining a circular crucible made of zirconia bricks with molybdenum sheets, then adding silica sand of appropriate diameter, evacuating the vacuum, heating the top, and gradually melting it from top to bottom to form a transparent silica glass product.

[0003] During the heating process, quartz sand accumulates and is electrofused. This loose accumulation results in a high porosity within the quartz sand, and components such as insulation bricks continuously release gaseous impurities. These voids increase interstitial air bubbles during melting, reducing product quality. Furthermore, during cooling and demolding, the glass exhibits strong adhesion due to differences in thermal contraction, making demolding difficult and hindering product removal. While some processes have incorporated vibration assistance, existing vibration devices are mostly bolt-fastened, and the vibration and melting devices are often welded together, leading to complex installation, time-consuming disassembly, and slow processing. Disassembly and installation are difficult to maintain in high-temperature operating environments, and the process cannot synergize with subsequent demolding, making it difficult to maximize the efficiency of the structural design. For example, existing patent CN101618941A discloses a method for manufacturing a quartz glass crucible, which involves simultaneously vacuuming a quartz powder molded body filled in a rotating mold and performing arc melting to manufacture the quartz glass crucible. The method is characterized by moving the electrode laterally relative to the mold centerline at the start or during arc melting, performing arc melting at an eccentric position. Preferably, the overall heating time in this method is less than 60% of the total arc melting time. While this approach achieves the desired quartz glass manufacturing effect, it still fails to address the issue of rapid disassembly.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an apparatus and method for manufacturing electrofused quartz glass is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for manufacturing fused quartz glass. The apparatus includes a support frame, a melting component mounted on the support frame, a clamping component disposed on the melting component, a clamping component disposed within the support frame, a limiting component adapted to the clamping component on the melting component, a actuating component for actuating the clamping component between the clamping component and the limiting component, a lifting component for lifting the clamping component on the support frame, and a connecting component abutting against the actuating component on the support frame. A contact component is disposed between the connecting component and the lifting component. During installation, the melting component is placed on the support frame, forcing it to descend. This causes the actuating component to move the clamping component and the limiting component to form a limiting position, thus installing the melting component. Simultaneously, the actuating component moves the connecting component and the contact component, forcing the lifting component to lift the clamping component, ensuring the clamping component is tightly attached to the melting component.

[0006] Preferably, the melting assembly includes a vibrator placed on the support frame, a vibrating plate on the vibrator, a crucible body placed on the vibrating plate, and a molybdenum sheet bushing inside the crucible body.

[0007] Preferably, the bonding assembly includes a bonding rod hinged to the vibratory plate, a bonding block adapted to the crucible body is provided on the bonding rod, a bonding spring is provided between the bonding rod and the vibratory plate, and a bearing rod is provided on the bonding rod.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes clamping rods hinged inside the support frame, two clamping rods are hinged to each other, a clamping block is tightly hinged to the end of each clamping rod, and a clamping spring is provided between the two clamping rods.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a mounting base disposed at the bottom of the vibrator, a limiting rod disposed on the mounting base, and a limiting disc disposed on the limiting rod that is adapted to the clamping block.

[0010] Preferably, the actuating assembly includes a long rod disposed on the limiting rod, an actuating lever disposed obliquely on the long rod, and a limiting post disposed on the clamping rod that is adapted to the actuating lever.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a fixed plate disposed on the support frame, a lifting rod disposed on the fixed plate, the lifting rod passing through the fixed plate, a lifting ring adapted to the bearing rod disposed on the lifting rod, and a lifting spring disposed between the fixed plate and the contact assembly.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting rod one hinged to the support frame, the connecting rod one abutting against the actuating rod, and a connecting rod two provided on the connecting rod one, the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two being set at an angle.

[0013] Preferably, the contact assembly includes an abutting cam disposed on the connecting rod 2, a contact block adapted to the abutting cam is disposed on the lifting rod, and the free end of the lifting spring is connected to the contact block.

[0014] A method for manufacturing electrofused quartz glass is also proposed. In use, the crucible body and the molybdenum sheet bushing are placed on the vibratory plate, and the vibrator and the vibratory plate are placed on the support frame. The limiting component and the actuating component move downwards synchronously until the actuating rod contacts the limiting post, forcing the clamping rod to move until the clamping blocks come close together, forcing the clamping blocks to clamp the limiting plate. At this point, the vibrator is installed. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the actuating rod drives the connecting component to move, which in turn drives the contact component to move, and the contact component drives the lifting component to move. The lifting assembly causes the pressing assembly to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the crucible body, achieving the installation effect of the crucible body. When disassembling the crucible body, the long rod is moved laterally, forcing the actuating rod to separate from the connecting rod. At this time, the connecting rod is released, forcing the lifting assembly to move downward, causing the pressing assembly to separate from the crucible body, and the crucible body can be removed to complete the disassembly. Similarly, when disassembling the vibrator, the long rod is moved laterally, forcing the actuating rod to separate from the limiting post, and the clamping rod is pulled, causing the clamping block to separate from the limiting plate, thus achieving the disassembly of the vibrator.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] In use, the device is placed in a vacuum system, and the molten component is placed on a support frame. The molten component drives the limiting component and the actuating component to move downwards synchronously until the actuating component moves, causing the clamping component to move and forcing it to connect with the limiting component, thus achieving a clamping effect. Simultaneously, the actuating component moves downwards, causing the connecting component to move, which in turn moves the contact component. The contact component then moves the lifting component, which in turn causes the pressing component to press firmly against the molten component, achieving the installation effect of the molten part of the molten component. In use, quartz sand is placed inside the molten component, and the vacuum system is activated for vacuuming. Simultaneously, the heating system heats the quartz sand, gradually melting it from top to bottom into transparent quartz glass. Before the melting stage, due to gaps within the quartz sand, the vibrating component of the molten component is activated to reduce the void ratio and air bubbles. During the cooling stage, due to differences in thermal shrinkage, strong adhesion occurs, making demolding difficult. At this time, the vibration causes the pressing component to vibrate synchronously, resulting in vibration within the molten component. The uniformity of the process creates a loose interface with micro-gaps between the product and the molten component, facilitating product removal. When disassembling the crucible body, the lateral movement of the actuating component forces it to separate from the connecting component, releasing the connecting component and causing the lifting component to move downwards, separating the tightly attached component from the molten component. The molten portion of the molten component can then be removed to complete the disassembly. Similarly, when disassembling the vibrating portion of the molten component, the lateral movement of the actuating component forces it to separate from the limiting component, causing the clamping component to move and separate from the limiting component, thus disassembling the vibrating portion of the molten component. In summary, the electrofused quartz glass manufacturing apparatus and method of this application can achieve synchronous installation of the molten and vibrating portions of the molten component, and asynchronous disassembly of the molten and vibrating portions of the molten component. Furthermore, vibration treatment is performed before the melting stage to reduce gaps and air bubbles, improving product quality. During cooling and demolding, uniform vibration of the molten component is achieved, facilitating product removal. This creates a synergistic effect between the vibration process and the cooling and demolding process, maximizing the efficiency of the structural design. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0030] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, an electrofused quartz glass manufacturing apparatus of the present invention includes a support frame 1. The support frame 1 is designed according to requirements, and holes are provided on the support frame 1 to facilitate operation by the operator. A melting component 2 is installed on the support frame 1. The melting component 2 is divided into a melting part and a vibration part. A clamping component 3 is provided on the melting component 2 to transmit vibration and achieve a uniform vibration effect. A clamping component 4 is provided inside the support frame 1. A limiting component 5 adapted to the clamping component 4 is provided on the melting component 2. The clamping component 4 and the limiting component 5 work together to achieve a clamping effect. A toggle component 6 is provided between the clamping component 4 and the limiting component 5 for actuating the clamping component 4. The toggle component 6 utilizes the downward force of the melting component 2 to... The support frame 1 is equipped with a lifting component 7 for lifting the close-fitting component 3. The lifting component 7 generates a lifting effect. The support frame 1 is equipped with a connecting component 8 that abuts against the actuating component 6. The connecting component 8 has the function of transmitting motion. A contact component 9 is provided between the connecting component 8 and the lifting component 7. The contact component 9 provides an upward force. During installation, the molten component 2 is placed on the support frame 1, forcing the molten component 2 to descend. This causes the actuating component 6 to drive the clamping component 4 and the limiting component 5 to form a limit, thereby realizing the installation of the molten component 2. At the same time, the actuating component 6 drives the connecting component 8 and the contact component 9 to move, forcing the lifting component 7 to lift the close-fitting component 3, so that the close-fitting component 3 is close to the molten component 2.

[0031] Working principle: In use, the device is placed in a vacuum system, and the molten component 2 is placed on the support frame 1. The molten component 2 drives the limiting component 5 and the actuating component 6 to move downwards synchronously until the actuating component 6 moves, causing the clamping component 4 to move. This forces the clamping component 4 to connect with the limiting component 5, forming a clamping effect. At this point, the vibrating part of the molten component 2 is installed. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the actuating component 6 drives the connecting component 8 to move, which in turn drives the contact component 9 to move. The contact component 9 then drives the lifting component 7 to move, causing the pressing component 3 to press tightly against the molten component 2. This achieves the installation effect of the molten part of the molten component 2. During use, quartz sand is placed inside the molten component 2, and the vacuum system is activated for vacuuming. Simultaneously, the heating system heats the quartz sand, gradually melting it from top to bottom into transparent quartz glass. Before the melting stage, due to gaps within the quartz sand, the vibration component of the molten component 2 is activated to reduce the void ratio and air bubbles. During the cooling stage, strong adhesion due to thermal shrinkage differences makes demolding difficult. At this time, the vibration causes the tightly attached component 3 to vibrate synchronously, thus reducing the internal structure of the molten component 2. Uniform vibration creates a loose interface with micro-gaps between the product and the melting component 2, facilitating product removal. When disassembling the crucible body 203, the actuating component 6 is moved laterally, forcing it to separate from the connecting component 8. This releases the connecting component 8, causing the lifting component 7 to move downwards, separating the tightly attached component 3 from the melting component 2. The molten portion of the melting component 2 can then be removed to complete the disassembly. Similarly, when disassembling the vibrating part of the melting component 2, the actuating component 6 is moved laterally, forcing it to separate from the limiting component 5. This causes the clamping component 4 to move, allowing it to... The limiting component 5 separates, enabling the disassembly of the vibrating part of the molten component 2. In summary, the electrofused quartz glass manufacturing apparatus and method of this application can achieve synchronous installation of the molten part and the vibrating part of the molten component 2, and asynchronous disassembly of the molten part and the vibrating part of the molten component 2 during disassembly. Furthermore, vibration treatment is performed before the melting stage to reduce gap bubbles and improve product quality. During cooling and demolding, uniform vibration of the molten component 2 is achieved, facilitating product removal. The vibration process and the cooling and demolding process form a synergistic effect, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the structural design.

[0032] Example 2: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the melting assembly 2 includes a vibrator 201 placed on a support frame 1. The vibrator 201 is a prior art technology and generally has a vibration motor inside for easy control of the vibration frequency. A vibration plate 202 is provided on the vibrator 201, and a crucible body 203 is placed on the vibration plate 202. The crucible body 203 is made of zirconia brick and a molybdenum sheet bushing 204 is provided inside the crucible body 203. The molybdenum sheet bushing 204 wraps the quartz sand and has the function of protecting the crucible body 203.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the bonding component 3 includes a bonding rod 301 hinged to the vibratory plate 202. The bonding rod 301 is inclined and has a bonding block 302 adapted to the crucible body 203. Multiple sets of bonding blocks 302 can be provided. A bonding spring 303 is provided between the bonding rod 301 and the vibratory plate 202. A bearing rod 304 is provided on the bonding rod 301 to bear the force.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping rod 401 hinged inside the support frame 1. Two clamping rods 401 are connected inside the support frame 1 by a pin. The two clamping rods 401 are hinged to each other. A clamping block 402 is tightly hinged to the end of the clamping rod 401. The clamping block 402 is semi-circular. The two clamping blocks 402 are circular. A clamping spring 403 is provided between the two clamping rods 401.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the limiting component 5 includes a mounting base 501 disposed at the bottom of the vibrator 201. The diameter of the mounting base 501 is less than or equal to the outer shell of the vibrator 201. A limiting rod 502 is disposed on the mounting base 501. The limiting rod 502 has a connecting function. A limiting disc 503 adapted to the clamping block 402 is disposed on the limiting rod 502. The clamping block 402 is inserted between the limiting disc 503 and the mounting base 501 to form a clamping and limiting function.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the actuating assembly 6 includes a long rod 601 mounted on the limiting rod 502. The long rod 601 has a certain length to facilitate lateral movement by the operator. An actuating rod 602 is inclinedly mounted on the long rod 601. A limiting post 603 adapted to the actuating rod 602 is mounted on the clamping rod 401. When the actuating rod 602 moves downward, the limiting post 603 moves laterally inside the actuating rod 602, forcing the limiting posts 603 to move closer to each other.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the lifting assembly 7 includes a fixed plate 701 mounted on the support frame 1, a lifting rod 702 mounted on the fixed plate 701, the lifting rod 702 being perpendicular to the fixed plate 701 and passing through the fixed plate 701, a lifting ring 703 adapted to the bearing rod 304 mounted on the lifting rod 702, the lifting ring 703 having a hole in the middle, and a lifting spring 704 being mounted between the fixed plate 701 and the contact assembly 9.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the connecting assembly 8 includes a connecting rod 801 hinged to the support frame 1. The connecting rod 801 abuts against the actuating rod 602. A connecting rod 802 is provided on the connecting rod 801. The connecting rod 801 and the connecting rod 802 are set at an angle. The connecting rod 801 is located below the support frame 1, and the connecting rod 802 is located to the side of the support frame 1.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the contact assembly 9 includes an abutting cam 901 disposed on the connecting rod 802. The abutting cam 901 is arc-shaped. The lifting rod 702 is provided with a contact block 902 adapted to the abutting cam 901. The free end of the lifting spring 704 is connected to the contact block 902. The contact block 902 is semi-circular to facilitate contact with the abutting cam 901.

[0040] Working principle: In use, the device is placed in a vacuum system. The vibrator 201 and vibratory plate 202 are placed on the support frame 1. The crucible body 203 and the molybdenum sheet bushing 204 are placed on the vibratory plate 202. Quartz sand is placed inside the crucible body 203 and enclosed by the molybdenum sheet bushing 204. During installation, the vibrator 201 is pushed down, causing it to move down along the support frame 1. The vibrator 201 drives the mounting base 501, the limiting rod 502, and the limiting plate 503. As the lever moves downward, the limiting rod 502 drives the long rod 601 and the actuating rod 602 to move downward. When the actuating rod 602 moves downward to contact the limiting post 603, due to the inclined setting of the actuating rod 602, the actuating rod 602 drives the limiting post 603 to move closer to each other, forcing the limiting post 603 to drive the end of the clamping rod 401 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping block 402 enters between the mounting base 501 and the limiting plate 503, achieving the clamping effect. At this time, the installation effect of the vibrator 201 is completed.

[0041] Simultaneously, the downward movement of the actuating rod 602 causes the connecting rod 801 to move downward, forcing one end of the connecting rod 801 to move downward while the other end moves upward. This forces the connecting rod 801 to move the connecting rod 802 upward, causing the connecting rod 802 to move the contact cam 901 upward. This forces the contact cam 901 to gradually contact the contact block 902, causing the contact block 902 to move upward continuously. The contact block 902 then moves the lifting rod 702 upward, compressing the lifting spring 704. The lifting rod 702 then moves the lifting ring 703 upward, causing the lifting ring 703 to exert an upward force on the bearing rod 304. This causes the bearing rod 304 to move the pressing rod 301 inward, causing the pressing block 302 to move inward. This forces the pressing block 302 to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the crucible body 203, achieving a clamping effect on the crucible body 203 and completing the installation of the crucible body 203.

[0042] In use, quartz sand is placed inside the crucible body 203, and the vacuum system is activated to perform vacuuming. At the same time, the heating system is used to heat the quartz sand, gradually melting it from top to bottom into transparent quartz glass to form the desired product. Before the melting stage, since there are gaps inside the quartz sand, the vibrator 201 is activated. The vibrator 201 transmits the vibration to the crucible body 203 through the vibrating plate 202. At the same time, the vibration is transmitted to the periphery of the crucible body 203 through the sticking rod 301 and the sticking block 302 to achieve vibration treatment, thereby reducing the void ratio and reducing gap bubbles. During the cooling stage, strong adhesion is generated due to the difference in thermal shrinkage, making demolding difficult. Similarly, at this time, the vibration is transmitted to the periphery of the crucible body 203 through the sticking rod 301 and the sticking block 302, so that the internal vibration of the crucible body 203 is uniform, and a micro-gap loose interface is created between the product and the melting component 2, which makes it easier to remove the product.

[0043] When disassembling the crucible body 203, the long rod 601 is moved laterally. Due to its length, the long rod 601 undergoes a recoverable deformation after being moved, causing the long rod 601 to drive the actuating rod 602 to move laterally, thus separating the actuating rod 602 from the connecting rod 801. At this time, the connecting rod 801 is released. Under the action of the lifting spring 704, the lifting rod 702 moves the contact block 902 and the lifting ring 703 downward. The downward movement of the lifting ring 703 causes the bearing rod 304 to lose its force. Under the action of the close-fitting spring 303, the close-fitting rod 301 is forced to move the close-fitting block 302 away from the crucible body 203, thus releasing the crucible body 203. The crucible body 203 is then removed, completing the disassembly of the crucible body 203. At the same time, the product is removed, and the quartz sand is refilled into the crucible body 203 for the next melting. At this time, it is not necessary to remove the vibrator 201.

[0044] When it is necessary to disassemble the vibrator 201, such as when repairing or replacing the vibrator 201, similarly, the long rod 601 is moved laterally, causing the long rod 601 to drive the actuating rod 602 to move laterally, causing the actuating rod 602 to separate from the limiting post 603. The clamping rod 401 is then manually pulled, causing the two clamping rods 401 to separate from each other, forcing the clamping block 402 to separate from the limiting plate 503 and the limiting rod 502. The vibrator 201 and the mounting base 501 are then lifted, achieving the disassembly effect of the vibrator 201.

[0045] During disassembly, this device can achieve the effect of disassembling the vibrator 201 and the crucible body 203 in stages. It is especially suitable for the process of manufacturing glass from quartz sand. After the quartz glass inside the crucible body 203 is formed, it needs to be removed. Therefore, the crucible body 203 needs to be frequently removed and placed. However, the vibrator 201 has a long service life and does not need to be frequently removed and placed, which greatly improves the adaptability of the device.

[0046] This solution enables the synchronous installation of the molten and vibrating parts of the molten component 2, and the asynchronous disassembly of the molten and vibrating parts during disassembly. Furthermore, it allows for vibration treatment before the melting stage, thereby reducing gap bubbles and improving product quality. During cooling and demolding, it enables uniform vibration of the molten component 2, facilitating product removal. This achieves a synergistic effect between the vibration process and the cooling and demolding process, maximizing the effectiveness of the structural design.

[0047] Example 3: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, this invention proposes a method for manufacturing electrofused quartz glass. In use, the crucible body 203 and molybdenum sheet bushing 204 are placed on a vibratory plate 202. The vibrator 201 and the vibratory plate 202 are placed on a support frame 1, causing the limiting component 5 and the actuating component 6 to move downwards synchronously until the actuating rod 602 contacts the limiting post 603, forcing the clamping rod 401 to move until the clamping blocks 402 approach each other, forcing the clamping blocks 402 to clamp the limiting plate 503. At this point, the vibrator 201 is installed. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the actuating rod 602 drives the connecting component 8 to move, causing the connecting component 8 to drive the contact component 9 to move, and the contact component 9 to drive the lifting component 7 to move. The lifting component 7 causes the pressing component 3 to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the crucible body 203, achieving the installation effect of the crucible body 203. When disassembling the crucible body 203, the long rod 601 is moved laterally, forcing the actuating rod 602 to separate from the connecting rod 801. At this time, the connecting rod 801 is released, forcing the lifting component 7 to move downward, so that the pressing component 3 separates from the crucible body 203, and the crucible body 203 can be removed to complete the disassembly. Similarly, when disassembling the vibrator 201, the long rod 601 is moved laterally, forcing the actuating rod 602 to separate from the limiting post 603, pulling the clamping rod 401, so that the clamping block 402 separates from the limiting plate 503, thus achieving the disassembly of the vibrator 201.
