[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a discharge device for a glass curing furnace, comprising:

[0029] Glass melting furnace body 1;

[0030] The discharge pipe 2 has a first section, a second section, and a third section from top to bottom. The inlet of the first section of the discharge pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the glass melting furnace body 1. The inner diameters of the first, second, and third sections of the discharge pipe 2 decrease sequentially, and the cross-sectional areas of the first, second, and third sections of the discharge pipe 2 are all equal.

[0031] The insulation layer 11 is installed at the lower end of the glass furnace body 1 and is sleeved on the first section of the discharge pipe 2.

[0032] Heater 4 is installed in the second section and the third section of the discharge pipe 2.

[0033] The outer diameter of the second section of the discharge pipe 2 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first section of the discharge pipe 2, and larger than the outer diameter of the third section of the discharge pipe 2.

[0034] The ratio of the inner diameters of the first, second, and third sections of the discharge pipe 2 is (1.4-1.6):(1.1-1.3):1. In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter of the first section of the discharge pipe 2 is 30mm, the inner diameter of the second section is 24mm, and the inner diameter of the third section is 20mm.

[0035] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 2 is designed to decrease sequentially and remain a fixed value due to the limitations of the discharge pipe flow channel structure. First, the cross-sectional area S of the discharge pipe 2 can be determined according to requirements. Then, based on the principle that the cross-sectional areas of the first, second, and third sections of the discharge pipe 2 are all equal, the cross-sectional area is calculated using the formula: S = π(D 2 -d 2 The outer diameter D of each segment of the discharge pipe 2 is calculated using 4 / 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, by designing that the cross-sectional area of ​​each segment is equal, the heat capacity absorbed by each segment of the discharge pipe 2 is equal when the heater 4 heats the discharge pipe 2. This ensures that the temperature rise of each segment of the discharge pipe 2 is consistent and the overall temperature is uniform, thereby preventing the discharge pipe 2 from being damaged due to local overheating caused by different temperature rises in each segment, and extending the service life of the discharge pipe 2.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the discharge pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the glass furnace body 1 via a flange 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flange 21 is sleeved on the first end of the discharge pipe 2 and disposed inside the glass furnace body 1, so that the inlet of the first end of the discharge pipe 2 is connected to the glass furnace body 1, and the material in the glass furnace body 1 enters the discharge pipe 2 through the inlet of the first end of the discharge pipe 2.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the discharge device of the glass curing furnace further includes: a controller 41 electrically connected to the heater 4, the controller 41 being used to control the heating power of the heater 4 to realize closed-loop heating control of the discharge pipe 2.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the discharge device of the glass curing furnace further includes:

[0041] The material collection tank 3 is located below the outlet of the third section of the discharge pipe 2, and the inlet of the material collection tank 3 is located directly below the outlet of the third section of the discharge pipe 2.

[0042] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a transition curve segment is provided at the connection between the first and second sections of the discharge pipe 2 and between the second and third sections of the discharge pipe 2.

[0043] The transition curve segment is one of the following: a tri-curvature circular arc curve, a circular arc transformation curve, a hyper-curvature circular arc curve, a cubic spline curve, and a streamlined transition curve.

[0044] In this embodiment, the design of the transition curve segment can effectively reduce stress concentration at various connection points. In a preferred embodiment, a hyperbolic circular arc curve can be selected as the transition curve segment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In the diagram, r is the radius of the first arc, R is the radius of the second arc, and r is tangent to R; where r = (D1-D2) × 0.175, R = (D1-D2) × 4.2; where D1 is the maximum outer diameter at the junction of the two segments, and D2 is the minimum outer diameter at the junction of the two segments.

[0045] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the length ratio of the first section, the second section, and the third section of the discharge pipe 2 is 1:(3.5-4.2):(0.5-1.5). In a preferred embodiment, the length of the first section of the discharge pipe 2 is 71mm; the length of the second section is 287mm; and the length of the third section is 100mm.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the material of the discharge pipe is a nickel-based high-temperature alloy.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 In this context, L represents the total length of the discharge pipe 2; the total length of the discharge pipe 2 must satisfy L < [σ] / ρg; where L is the total length of the discharge pipe 2, [σ] is the allowable stress of the discharge pipe 2 under high-temperature operating conditions, ρ is the density of the discharge pipe 2, and g is the gravitational acceleration, taken as 9.8 m / s². 2 ;

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the material of the discharge pipe 2 is a nickel-based high-temperature alloy, such as Inconel 690. The first section of the discharge pipe 2 has a length of 71 mm, the second section has a length of 287 mm, and the third section has a length of 100 mm, for a total length of 458 mm. When the discharge pipe is in operation (at high temperature), the maximum stress on the discharge pipe 2 due to gravity is located in the first section, as shown by the formula σ. max =ρgL(where, σ max Let L be the maximum stress experienced by the discharge pipe 2 during operation, L be the total length of the discharge pipe 2, ρ be the density of the discharge pipe 2, and g be the gravitational acceleration, taken as 9.8 m / s². 2Calculations show that the maximum stress on the first section is about 0.037% of the allowable stress of the discharge pipe 2. The maximum stress on the section is very small, so the influence of gravity on the discharge pipe can be ignored. Therefore, when the material of the discharge pipe 2 is Inconel 690, the length of the first section of the discharge pipe 2 is 71mm, the length of the second section is 287mm, the length of the third section is 100mm, and the total length is 458mm, the discharge pipe can achieve the characteristic that the strength of each part is equal.

[0049] The discharge device of the glass curing furnace described in this invention achieves the characteristics of equal heat capacity and equal strength in each section of the discharge pipe of the glass curing furnace, ensuring the uniformity of the overall temperature of the discharge pipe during the heating process, and improving the safety and service life of the discharge pipe of the glass curing furnace.

[0050] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
