Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glass production, in particular to a cleaning device, a glass production line and a maintenance method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a traditional glass production line, the transition roller is a main production component in the annealing furnace of the electronic glass production line, and the quality of the transition roller directly affects the quality of the finished glass product, so the transition roller needs to be replaced and cleaned frequently.

[0003] The sulfur dioxide and other protective gases applied in the traditional glass production line are easy to form weak acid after oxidation, which corrodes the equipment, and part of the oxides can easily fall into the graphite tank below the transition roller. In addition, tin liquid and glass slag on the glass production line can also fall into the graphite tank, and so on. The impurities such as tin liquid, glass slag and oxides can make the inner surface of the graphite tank uneven, which brings difficulties to the replacement of the graphite tank and the replacement of the transition roller above the graphite tank.

[0004] However, the traditional glass production line lacks professional tools for cleaning the graphite tank, resulting in the accumulation of impurities in the graphite tank and difficulty in cleaning. The residual impurities in the graphite tank can easily cause damage to the new graphite entering the graphite tank, or prolong the maintenance time of replacing the graphite and the transition roller, or even make the graphite and the transition roller unable to be replaced, affecting the normal production of the production line and reducing the glass production.

[0005] The above information disclosed in the background of the present application is only used to understand the background of the present application concept, and can contain information which does not constitute prior art. SUMMARY

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to provide a cleaning device, a glass production line and a maintenance method thereof.

[0007] A cleaning device for cleaning a graphite tank, the cleaning device comprising:

[0008] a rod body having a proximal end and a distal end distal to each other;

[0009] a cutting wheel assembly rotatably connected to the distal end, the proximal end being used for operating and driving the cutting wheel assembly to extend into the graphite tank to clean the impurities in the graphite tank.

[0010] The traditional glass production line lacks professional tools for cleaning the graphite tank, resulting in the accumulation of impurities in the graphite tank and difficulty in cleaning. The residual impurities in the graphite tank can easily cause damage to the new graphite entering the graphite tank, prolong the maintenance time of the graphite and transition roller, or even make the graphite and transition roller unable to be replaced, affecting the normal production of the production line and reducing the glass production. The cleaning device provided by the present application can be used to clean the impurities in the graphite tank of the glass production line. During cleaning, the worker can remove the old graphite in the graphite tank. The worker can hold the proximal end of the rod body, extend the cutting wheel assembly at the distal end of the rod body into the graphite tank, pull the rod body back and forth to make the cutting wheel assembly reciprocate in the graphite tank, thereby cleaning all kinds of impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank, facilitating the subsequent replacement of new graphite into the graphite tank, or allowing the roller changing trolley for the transition roller to smoothly enter the graphite tank to complete the replacement of the transition roller above the graphite tank. In short, the cleaning device of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank, and is beneficial to maintaining efficient production of the glass production line.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cutting wheel assembly includes a cutting wheel and a fixed plate, the fixed plate is connected to the distal end, the cutting wheel is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the rotation plane of the cutting wheel is parallel to the axial direction of the rod body. It can be understood that when the worker operates the rod body to move back and forth in the graphite tank, the axial direction of the rod body is approximately parallel to the length extension direction of the graphite tank, the rotation plane of the cutting wheel is parallel to the axial direction of the rod body, and the rotation plane of the cutting wheel can be more closely fitted with the inner tank surface of the graphite tank, thereby better cutting and removing the impurities on the inner tank surface of the graphite tank.

[0012] In one embodiment, the size of the cutting wheel in the radial direction of the rod body is greater than that of the fixed plate, and at least part of the cutting wheel exceeds the edge of the fixed plate in the radial direction of the rod body. The fixed plate can be considered as a support carrier for the cutting wheel. When the fixed plate is pulled back and forth in the graphite tank by the rod body, if the cutting wheel does not exceed the edge of the fixed plate in the radial direction of the rod body, the edge of the fixed plate can interfere with the impurities adhered to the inner tank surface of the graphite tank, resulting in incomplete fitting of the cutting wheel with the inner tank surface of the graphite tank and affecting the cleaning effect of the impurities. Conversely, in the present embodiment, the cutting wheel exceeds the edge of the fixed plate in the radial direction of the rod body, which can ensure that the cutting wheel collides with the impurities on the edge of the fixed plate first, removes the impurities on the edge of the fixed plate, and makes the cutting wheel fit the inner tank surface of the graphite tank as much as possible, achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the cutting wheel comprises a first cutting wheel and a second cutting wheel, both of which are rotatably connected to the fixed plate, the fixed plate having a first edge and a second edge away from each other in the radial direction of the rod body; at least part of the first cutting wheel exceeds the first edge in the radial direction of the rod body, and at least part of the second cutting wheel exceeds the second edge in the radial direction of the rod body. If only one cutting wheel is provided, in order to cover a certain cleaning area, the size of the single cutting wheel is larger, and the resistance from the impurities in the graphite tank is also greater, and the operator will also be more laborious when operating the rod body. Compared with only one cutting wheel, under the condition of covering a certain cleaning area, the present application provides multiple cutting wheels, at this time the size of the single cutting wheel is smaller, and the resistance from the impurities in the graphite tank is also smaller, and it is also more smooth to pull.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, in the radial direction of the rod body, there is a gap between the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, in the radial direction of the rod body, the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel at least partially overlap. In the radial direction of the rod body, there is a gap between the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel, which means that there is actually a cleaning blind area between the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel, and there may be a situation that cleaning is not in place, which needs to be cleaned back and forth more times. Compared with this, in the present embodiment, the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the rod body, which means that in the radial direction of the rod body, there is no gap between the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel, nor a cleaning blind area, which can achieve better cleaning effect and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the cutting wheel assembly further comprises a fixing member and a bearing, the bearing being connected to the fixed plate through the fixing member, the bearing being used to bear the cutting wheel, and the cutting wheel being rotatably connected to the fixed plate through the bearing.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, the cutting wheels are arranged in two groups, and the two groups of cutting wheels are located on opposite sides of the fixed plate and have collinear rotation axes. It can be understood that, in the cross section of the graphite tank, the inner tank surface of the graphite tank can be divided into a tank bottom and two tank side walls connected to the two sides of the tank wall. If the fixed plate is provided with a group of cutting wheels on only one side, after cleaning one tank side wall of the graphite tank with the group of cutting wheels on one side of the fixed plate, the fixed plate needs to be turned over to align the group of cutting wheels with the other tank side wall for cleaning. In this embodiment, after cleaning one tank side wall of the graphite tank with the group of cutting wheels on one side of the fixed plate, the other group of cutting wheels on the other side of the fixed plate can be directly moved close to the other tank side wall of the graphite tank to start cleaning, without the need to turn over the fixed plate, which is more convenient and helps to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0018] The present application also relates to a glass production line comprising a graphite tank, a transition roller, graphite and the cleaning device according to any one of the above embodiments, the transition roller is rotatably arranged above the graphite tank and is used to convey glass; the graphite is arranged in the graphite tank and at least partially protrudes from the graphite tank to clean the surface of the transition roller.

[0019] The glass production line comprises the cleaning device according to any one of the above embodiments, and therefore, the glass production line also has at least the following beneficial effects: traditional glass production lines lack professional tools for cleaning the graphite tank, which leads to the accumulation of impurities in the graphite tank and makes it difficult to clean the impurities, and the remaining impurities in the graphite tank are likely to cause damage to the new graphite entering the graphite tank to different degrees, and even make the graphite and the transition roller and the like unable to be replaced. The cleaning device provided by the present application can be used to clean the impurities in the graphite tank of the glass production line. During cleaning, the old graphite in the graphite tank can be removed, the worker can hold the proximal end of the rod body, extend the cutting wheel assembly at the distal end of the rod body into the graphite tank, pull the rod body back and forth to make the cutting wheel assembly reciprocate in the graphite tank, so as to clean all kinds of impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank, facilitate the replacement of new graphite into the graphite tank, or make a roller changing trolley for the transition roller smoothly enter the graphite tank to complete the replacement of the transition roller above the graphite tank. In short, the cleaning device of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank, and helps to maintain the high production efficiency of the glass production line.

[0020] The present application also provides a maintenance method of a glass production line, based on the glass production line according to the above embodiments, the maintenance method of the glass production line comprises the following steps:

[0021] removing the graphite in the graphite tank;

[0022] extending the cutting wheel assembly of the cleaning device into the graphite tank;

[0023] The rod body drives the cutting wheel assembly to reciprocate in the graphite tank and clean the impurities in the graphite tank.

[0024] In one of the embodiments, the glass production line maintenance method further comprises the following step: using a roll changing trolley for carrying a transition roller to enter and exit the graphite tank to replace the transition roller above the graphite tank.

[0025] In one of the embodiments, the glass production line maintenance method further comprises the following step: replacing new graphite into the graphite tank.

[0026] The glass production line maintenance method, during maintenance, the worker can take out the old graphite in the graphite tank, the worker can hold the proximal end of the rod body, the cutting wheel assembly at the distal end of the rod body is stretched into the graphite tank, the rod body is pulled back and forth to make the cutting wheel assembly reciprocate in the graphite tank, so that various impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank are cleaned, and the subsequent replacement of new graphite into the graphite tank or the smooth entry of the roll changing trolley for the transition roller into the graphite tank to complete the replacement of the transition roller above the graphite tank is facilitated. In short, the cleaning device of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank, and is beneficial to the high-efficiency production of the glass production line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be practiced in a number of different ways beyond the specific embodiments described herein and with modifications thereof, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and it is understood that these specific embodiments are given for purposes of illustration only.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the present application provides a cleaning device 10 which can be used to clean a graphite tank 20 in a glass production line as shown in Figure 2 . The protective gas such as sulfur dioxide used in the glass production line is easy to form weak acid after oxidation to corrode the equipment, and part of the oxides is easy to fall into the graphite tank 20 below the transition roller 30. In addition, tin liquid and glass slag on the glass production line can also fall into the graphite tank, and so on. The impurities such as tin liquid, glass slag and oxides will make the inner tank surface of the graphite tank uneven, which brings difficulties to the replacement of the graphite tank and the transition roller above the graphite tank.

[0038] As shown in Figure 3 , the cleaning device 10 includes a rod body 100 and a cutting wheel assembly 200. The rod body 100 has a proximal end 110 and a distal end 120 which are away from each other. The proximal end 110 of the rod body 100 can be held and operated by the worker. The proximal end 110 of the rod body 100 can be considered as the end of the rod body 100 close to the human body, and the distal end 120 of the rod body 100 can be considered as the end away from the human body. The cutting wheel assembly 200 is rotatably connected to the distal end 120 of the rod body 100. The proximal end 110 is used to operate and drive the cutting wheel assembly 200 to extend into the graphite tank 20. The rotation of the cutting wheel assembly 200 can clean the impurities in the graphite tank 20.

[0039] The traditional glass production line lacks professional tools for cleaning the graphite tank 20, resulting in the accumulation of impurities in the graphite tank 20, which is difficult to clean. The residual impurities in the graphite tank 20 can cause new graphite 40 to be damaged to varying degrees when entering the graphite tank 20, or extend the maintenance time for replacing the graphite 40 and the transition roller 30, or even make the graphite 40 and the transition roller 30 unable to be replaced, affecting the normal production of the production line and reducing the glass 50 production. The cleaning device 10 provided by the present application can be used to clean the impurities in the graphite tank 20 of the glass production line. When cleaning, the worker can take out the old graphite 40 in the graphite tank 20, hold the proximal end 110 of the rod body 100, extend the cutting wheel assembly 200 at the distal end 120 of the rod body 100 into the graphite tank 20, pull the rod body 100 back and forth to make the cutting wheel assembly 200 reciprocate in the graphite tank 20, thereby cleaning all kinds of impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank 20, facilitating the subsequent replacement of new graphite 40 into the graphite tank 20; or the roller changing trolley for the transition roller 30 smoothly enters the graphite tank 20 to complete the replacement of the transition roller 30 above the graphite tank 20. In short, the cleaning device 10 of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank 20, which is beneficial to maintaining efficient production of the glass production line.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cutting wheel assembly 200 includes a cutting wheel 210 and a fixed plate 220, the fixed plate 220 is connected to the distal end 120, and the fixed plate 220 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the rod body 100. The cutting wheel 210 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 220, and the rotation plane of the cutting wheel 210 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the rod body 100. It can be understood that when the worker operates the rod body 100 to move back and forth in the graphite tank 20, the axial direction of the rod body 100 is substantially parallel to the length extension direction of the graphite tank 20, and the rotation plane of the cutting wheel 210 is parallel to the axial direction of the rod body 100. The rotation plane of the cutting wheel 210 can be more fitted with the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20, so as to better cut and remove the impurities on the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting wheel 210 has a dimension in the radial direction of the rod body 100 that is greater than the fixed plate 220, at least part of the cutting wheel 210 exceeding the edge of the fixed plate 220 in the radial direction of the rod body 100. The fixed plate 220 can be considered as a support carrier of the cutting wheel 210. When the rod body 100 pulls the fixed plate 220 to reciprocate within the graphite tank 20, if the cutting wheel 210 does not exceed the edge of the fixed plate 220 in the radial direction of the rod body 100, the edge of the fixed plate 220 can interfere with the impurities adhered to the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20, causing the cutting wheel 210 to not completely fit the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20, affecting the cleaning effect of the impurities. Conversely, in the present embodiment, the cutting wheel 210 exceeds the edge of the fixed plate 220 in the radial direction of the rod body 100, which can ensure that the cutting wheel 210 collides with the impurities on the edge of the fixed plate 220 first, removing the impurities on the edge of the fixed plate 220, allowing the cutting wheel 210 to fit the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20 as much as possible, achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0042] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the cutting wheel 210 is provided in two groups, and the two groups of cutting wheels 210 are located on opposite sides of the fixed plate 220 and have collinear rotation axes. It can be understood that, in the cross section of the graphite tank 20, the inner tank surface of the graphite tank 20 can be divided into a tank bottom 21 and two tank side walls 22 connected to the two sides of the tank wall. If the fixed plate 220 is provided with a group of cutting wheels 210 on only one side, after cleaning one tank side wall 22 of the graphite tank 20 using the group of cutting wheels 210 on one side of the fixed plate 220, the other tank side wall 22 needs to be cleaned, and the fixed plate 220 needs to be turned over to allow the group of cutting wheels 210 to align with the other tank side wall 22. In the present embodiment, after cleaning one tank side wall 22 of the graphite tank 20 using a group of cutting wheels 210 on one side of the fixed plate 220, another group of cutting wheels 210 on the other side of the fixed plate 220 can directly approach the other tank side wall 22 of the graphite tank 20 to start cleaning, without the need to turn over the fixed plate 220, which is more convenient and helps to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, each set of cutting wheels 210 includes a first cutting wheel 211 and a second cutting wheel 212, both of which are rotatably connected to the fixed plate 220, which has a first edge 221 and a second edge 222 distanced from each other in the radial direction of the rod body 100. At least part of the first cutting wheel 211 exceeds the first edge 221, and at least part of the second cutting wheel 212 exceeds the second edge 222 in the radial direction of the rod body 100. If only one cutting wheel 210 is provided, in order to cover a certain cleaning area, the size of the single cutting wheel 210 is larger, and the resistance it receives from the impurities in the graphite tank 20 is also greater, and the operator will also be more laborious when operating the rod body 100. Compared with only one cutting wheel 210, under the condition of covering a certain cleaning area, the present application provides multiple cutting wheels 210, at this time the size of the single cutting wheel 210 is smaller, and the resistance of each cutting wheel 210 from the impurities in the graphite tank 20 is also smaller, and it is also more smooth to pull.

[0044] More specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in the axial direction of the rod body 100, the side edge of the fixed plate 220 away from the rod body 100 can be considered as a third edge 223, which is connected between the first edge 221 and the second edge 222, and the first cutting wheel 211 at least partially exceeds the third edge 223. It can be understood that when the operator operates the rod body 100 to move forward, the third edge 223 in front of the fixed plate 220 will be close to the impurities to be cleaned in the front graphite tank 20, and if the first cutting wheel 211 does not exceed the third edge 223, the impurities may interfere with the fixed plate 220 to affect the movement and cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10. The arrangement that the first cutting wheel 211 at least partially exceeds the third edge 223 can allow the first cutting wheel 211 to sweep away the impurities in front, which is beneficial to the smooth movement and cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the cutting wheel assembly 200 further includes a fixing member 230 and a bearing 240, the bearing 240 is connected to the fixed plate 220 through the fixing member 230, and the bearing 240 is used to bear the cutting wheel 210, and the cutting wheel 210 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 220 through the bearing 240. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the fixing member 230 can be a bolt, and the fixing member 230 includes a first fixing member 231 and a second fixing member 232. As Figure 5As shown, the bearing 240 includes a first bearing 241 and a second bearing 242. The bearing 240 may be a ball bearing 240. The first bearing 241 is connected to the fixing plate 220 via the first fixing member 231. The first bearing 241 is used to carry the first cutting wheel 211. The first cutting wheel 211 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 220 via the first bearing 241. The second bearing 242 is connected to the fixing plate 220 via the second fixing member 232. The second bearing 242 is used to carry the second cutting wheel 212. The second cutting wheel 212 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 220 via the second bearing 242.

[0046] In such Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, a gap exists between the first cutting wheel 211 and the second cutting wheel 212 in the radial direction of the rod body 100. This means that there is a blind spot between the first cutting wheel 211 and the second cutting wheel 212, which may result in incomplete cleaning and require more frequent back-and-forth cleaning of the graphite tank 20.

[0047] And in Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first cutting wheel 211 and the second cutting wheel 212 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the rod body 100. In contrast, in this embodiment, the first cutting wheel 211 and the second cutting wheel 212 at least partially overlap in the radial direction of the rod body 100. This means that there is no gap between the first cutting wheel 211 and the second cutting wheel 212 in the radial direction of the rod body 100, and there is no blind spot for cleaning, which can achieve better cleaning effects and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0048] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the cutting power of the cutting wheel 210 may come from human power pulling the rod body 100. In other embodiments, a driving device such as a motor may be provided to drive the cutting wheel 210 to rotate.

[0049] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application also relates to a glass production line, which includes a graphite tank 20, a transition roller 30, graphite 40 and a cleaning device 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the transition roller 30 is rotatably arranged above the graphite tank 20, and the transition roller 30 is used to convey the glass 50; the graphite 40 is arranged in the graphite tank 20, and the graphite 40 at least partially protrudes from the graphite tank 20 to clean the surface of the transition roller 30.

[0050] The glass production line includes the cleaning device 10 described in any of the above embodiments, and therefore, the glass production line also at least has the beneficial effects that the traditional glass production line lacks professional tools for cleaning the graphite tank 20, resulting in the increasing accumulation of impurities in the graphite tank 20 and the difficulty in cleaning, and the remaining impurities in the graphite tank 20 are easy to cause new graphite 40 to be damaged to different degrees when entering the graphite tank 20, and even make the graphite 40 and the transition roller 30 etc. unable to be replaced. The cleaning device 10 provided by the present application can be used to clean the impurities in the graphite tank 20 of the glass production line. When cleaning, the worker can take out the old graphite 40 in the graphite tank 20, the worker can hold the proximal end 110 of the rod body 100, extend the cutting wheel assembly 200 at the distal end 120 of the rod body 100 into the graphite tank 20, pull the rod body 100 back and forth to make the cutting wheel assembly 200 reciprocate in the graphite tank 20, so as to clean all kinds of impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank 20, facilitate the subsequent replacement of new graphite 40 into the graphite tank 20, or the replacement of the graphite tank 20 for the replacement of the transition roller 30 above the graphite tank 20. In short, the cleaning device 10 of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank 20, and is beneficial to maintaining the efficient production of the glass production line.

[0051] In addition, as Figure 6 shown, the present application also provides a glass production line maintenance method, based on the glass production line described in the above embodiments, the glass production line maintenance method includes the following steps:

[0052] S100, taking out the graphite 40 in the graphite tank 20;

[0053] S200, extending the cutting wheel assembly 200 of the cleaning device 10 into the graphite tank 20;

[0054] S300, using the rod body 100 to drive the cutting wheel assembly 200 to reciprocate in the graphite tank 20 and clean the impurities in the graphite tank 20.

[0055] In some embodiments, the glass production line maintenance method further includes the following steps:

[0056] S400, using the roller replacement trolley for carrying the transition roller 30 to enter and exit the graphite tank 20 to replace the transition roller 30 above the graphite tank 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, the glass production line maintenance method further includes the following steps:

[0058] S500, replacing new graphite 40 into the graphite tank 20.

[0059] The above glass production line maintenance method, when maintaining, the worker can take out the old graphite 40 in the graphite tank 20, the worker can hold the proximal end 110 of the rod body 100, the cutting wheel assembly 200 at the distal end 120 of the rod body 100 is stretched into the graphite tank 20, the rod body 100 is pulled back and forth so that the cutting wheel assembly 200 reciprocates in the graphite tank 20, thereby cleaning all kinds of impurities on the tank surface in the graphite tank 20, facilitating subsequent replacement of new graphite 40 into the graphite tank 20, or allowing the roll changing trolley for the transition roller 30 to smoothly enter the graphite tank 20 to complete the replacement of the transition roller 30 above the graphite tank 20. In short, the cleaning device 10 of the present application improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning result of the graphite tank 20, which is beneficial to the efficient production of the glass production line.
