Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and more particularly to a vertical pellet forming machine and its working method. Background Art

[0002] Quartz glass is made by melting various pure natural quartz (such as crystal, quartz sand, etc.). It has unique comprehensive properties that other materials do not have. It has special spectral transmittance properties, low thermal expansion coefficient (1 / 10-1 / 20 of ordinary glass), high temperature resistance, laser damage resistance, radiation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, extremely small linear expansion coefficient, and good thermal shock resistance.

[0003] The optical homogeneity of quartz glass directly affects the imaging quality of an optical system. Optical homogeneity values ​​and distribution diagrams can characterize the degree of refractive index inhomogeneity within the material. If optical inhomogeneity exists in the glass, light will experience a phase difference after passing through the medium, which can cause the optical system to fail to perform its intended function or even become inoperable.

[0004] The applications of quartz glass are extremely broad. Small-diameter transparent or opaque quartz glass tubes manufactured using continuous melting processes are widely used in the electric light source industry. Large-diameter tubes and sheets manufactured using a two-step gas-melting and electro-melting process are important equipment materials in the semiconductor industry, with increasing demand. Precision, high-quality transparent quartz glass tubes are often used as blanks for manufacturing optical fiber preforms. In recent years, laser nuclear fusion technology has developed rapidly, with a large amount of large-diameter, high-performance quartz glass being used. The aerospace industry also utilizes quartz glass in some areas.

[0005] Quartz glass forming machines are key equipment in quartz glass production, and their structure and performance directly affect the size and optical uniformity of the quartz glass. Most existing forming machines are cantilever beam type. During the forming process, as the quartz blob increases in size, the cantilever working platform deforms, leading to unevenness in the synthesized quartz glass, which negatively impacts the quality of the finished quartz blob. Furthermore, existing forming machines are difficult to automate for continuous production. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the aforementioned technical problems, a vertical pellet forming machine and its working method are provided.

[0007] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:

[0008] A vertical quartz crystal forming machine includes: a machine frame, a lifting and rotating mechanism, a translation mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a conveying mechanism.

The translation mechanism is mounted on the lifting platform, and the rotating mechanism is mounted on the translation mechanism. A deposition base rod is mounted on the rotating mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to lift and lower the translation mechanism, the rotating mechanism, and the deposition base rod, fulfilling the lifting and lowering requirements of the deposition base rod during the quartz crystal forming process. The rotating mechanism is used to fulfill the rotating requirements of the deposition base rod during the quartz crystal forming process. The translation mechanism is used to fulfill the translational requirements of the deposition base rod during the quartz crystal forming process. The cutting mechanism is mounted on the lifting platform and is used to automatically cut the quartz glass boulders and the deposition base rod connector after the quartz crystal forming process is completed.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a base coupling, a base thrust bearing, a deposition base rod base, and a base rotary motor. The deposition base rod base and the base rotary motor are mounted on the translation platform II. The base rotary motor is located inside the deposition base rod base. The base thrust bearing is installed on the top of the deposition base rod base and is sleeved on the outer wall of the deposition base rod and rotatably connected to it. The base rotary motor is connected to the base coupling, which is connected to the bottom of the deposition base rod. The deposition base rod is also clamped by a deposition base rod chuck, which is located at the connection between the deposition base rod and the base thrust bearing.

[0013] Furthermore, the driven translation mechanism includes a fixed platform thrust bearing, a guide rail platform, multiple fixed platform guide rail sliders, and two fixed platform guide rails. The two fixed platform guide rails are installed at intervals on the fixed platform. At least one fixed platform guide rail slider is slidably connected to each fixed platform guide rail. The multiple fixed platform guide rail sliders are fixedly connected to the guide rail platform. The fixed platform thrust bearing is installed in the central hole of the guide rail platform. The upper part of the deposition base rod passes through the fixed platform thrust bearing and is rotatably connected to the fixed platform thrust bearing. The fixed platform is provided with an elongated hole to reserve translational space for the left and right translation of the deposition base rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a translation platform I is installed on the upper surface of the guide rail platform. A first hole larger than the central hole is opened in the middle of the translation platform I. Multiple fixed pulleys are installed inside the first hole. The quartz glass block above the deposition base rod passes through the first hole. The multiple fixed pulleys are in sliding contact with the outer wall of the quartz glass block.

[0015] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting mechanism frame, a cutting mechanism coil, a cutting mechanism release coil, and two sets of parallel drive mechanisms. Each drive mechanism includes a cutting mechanism drive motor, a cutting mechanism coupling, a cutting mechanism drive screw fixing seat, a cutting mechanism drive nut, and a cutting mechanism drive screw. The cutting mechanism drive motor is mounted on a lifting platform and connected to the cutting mechanism drive screw via the cutting mechanism coupling. Both ends of the cutting mechanism drive screw are rotatably connected to two cutting mechanism drive screw fixing seats, which are mounted on the lifting platform. The cutting mechanism drive nut is sleeved on the cutting mechanism drive screw. The cutting mechanism frame is fixedly connected to the cutting mechanism drive nuts on the two drive mechanisms.

[0017] Furthermore, contact switches I, II, III and IV are installed on the frame of the pelletizing machine.

[0018] The present invention also provides a method for operating a vertical pellet forming machine, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Before the agglomeration begins, the lifting platform is located at the end of the transmission screw. After the agglomeration begins, the deposition base rod slowly descends along the fixed platform until it is completely below the fixed platform. At this point, contact switch II is triggered, starting the cutting mechanism to move forward and begin cutting. After cutting is completed, contact switch I is triggered, causing the cutting mechanism to retract. Contact switch IV is triggered, and the lifting motor is started. While the fixed pulleys on the fixed platform clamp the quartz glass agglomerate, the lifting platform continues to descend, triggering contact switch III, which starts the transport mechanism and opens the deposition base rod chuck. The transport mechanism transports the deposition base rod. When the transport mechanism returns to its initial state, contact switch I is triggered again, causing the lifting platform to rise to the end of the quartz glass agglomerate, clamping the quartz glass agglomerate and continuing the agglomeration process.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The vertical quartz boulder forming machine and its working method provided by the present invention can be used to continuously produce quartz boulders, providing convenient conditions for the subsequent production of quartz glass boulders.

[0022] 2. The vertical quartz glass agglomeration machine and its working method provided by this invention include a deposition base rod fixing platform installed on the column of the original vertical quartz glass agglomeration machine. During the agglomeration process, the built-in deposition base rod fixing device keeps the deposition base rod stable and moves vertically up and down to complete the production process of the quartz glass agglomerate.

[0023] 3. The vertical quartz glass agglomeration machine and its working method provided by this invention include a deposition base rod lifting platform installed on the frame of the original vertical quartz glass agglomeration machine. During the agglomeration process, the deposition base rod lifting platform actively and slowly moves downward, causing the deposition base rod to move downward; the deposition base rod translation platform moves left and right, causing the deposition base rod to move left and right; the rotary motor in the base actively rotates, causing the deposition base rod to rotate; when the deposition base rod is completely below the deposition base rod fixing platform, the deposition base rod is separated from the quartz agglomerate by a cutting mechanism, and the conveying mechanism removes the deposition base rod, while agglomeration can continue, realizing a continuous agglomeration process.

[0024] Based on the above reasons, this invention can be widely promoted in fields such as quartz glass production. Attached Figure Description

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention.

The fixed pulleys 3 keep the deposition base rod 6 moving vertically. At the same time, the translation platform I4 with openings on the fixing platform 23 can realize the left and right translation of the deposition base rod, and the guide rail platform 20 on the fixing platform 23 can realize the rotation of the deposition base rod 6 itself. The guide rail platform 20 drives the deposition base rod 6 to rotate through the base rotation motor 27, and drives the lifting platform 34 to translate along the vertical direction of the frame 1 through the rotation of the transmission screw 36. The lifting platform 34 drives the deposition base rod 6 to translate vertically, and the upper end of the deposition base rod 6 is fixed by the fixing platform 23 to fix its movement trajectory.

[0053] The lifting platform 34 achieves lifting and lowering via a transmission screw 36. A lifting platform guide rail 32 is provided on the lifting platform 34, and an un-perforated translation platform II 30 is mounted on the guide rail 32. A translation motor 29 is bolted to the un-perforated translation platform II 30. The translation motor 29 drives the translation transmission gear 28 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the un-perforated translation platform II 30 to slide on the lifting platform guide rail 32 through the meshing of the translation transmission gear 28 and the translation transmission rack 33. A deposition base rod base 26 is mounted on the un-perforated translation platform II 30. A base rotation motor 27 is located inside the deposition base rod base 26. The base rotation motor 27 drives the deposition base rod 6 to rotate along the base thrust bearing 25 of the deposition base rod base 26 via a base coupling 24. The base rotation motor 27 also controls the locking and unlocking of the deposition base rod chuck 7.

[0054] The fixed platform 23 is positioned directly above the lifting platform 34 and is welded to the top of the forming machine frame 1. The fixed platform 23 has two guide rail slots, each housing a fixed platform guide rail 22. Above the guide rail 22 is a guide rail platform 20, with a thrust bearing 19 at its center. The guide rail platform 20 enables the deposition base rod 6 to move horizontally and rotate. A perforated translation platform I4 is mounted on the guide rail platform 20. The perforated translation platform I4 has a large opening (the first opening, larger than the center opening of the guide rail platform 20). Four fixed pulleys 3 are installed inside the opening, clamping the deposition base rod 6 while maintaining its vertical vertical movement. The fixed platform 23 has an elongated hole, providing space for the lateral movement of the deposition base rod 6. This elongated hole can be located between the two guide rail slots.

[0055] The working method of this invention is as follows: Before the agglomeration begins, the lifting platform 34 is located at the tail end of the transmission screw 36 (at the top of the stroke). After the agglomeration begins, the deposition base rod 6 slowly descends along the fixed platform 23 until the deposition base rod 6 is completely below the fixed platform 23. Then, the contact switch II 8 is triggered to start the cutting mechanism to move forward and begin the cutting process. After the cutting is completed, the contact switch I 5 is triggered to retract the cutting mechanism. The contact switch IV 40 is triggered, and the lifting motor 39 is started at the same time. While the fixed pulley 3 on the fixed platform 23 clamps the quartz glass agglomerate, the lifting platform 34 continues to descend. The contact switch III 9 is triggered to start the transport mechanism and open the deposition base rod chuck 7. The transport mechanism transports the deposition base rod 6. When the transport mechanism returns to the initial state, the contact switch I 5 is triggered again to raise the lifting platform 34 to the end of the quartz glass agglomerate 2 and clamp the quartz glass agglomerate 2 to continue the agglomeration process.

[0056] This invention relates to a vertical quartz glass forming machine for a quartz glass melting process. The machine features an innovative design that overcomes the shortcomings of existing machines that cannot produce continuously. The original vertical quartz glass forming machine frame is augmented with a deposition base rod lifting platform, a rotating mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a conveying mechanism. The original platform is replaced by a fixed deposition base rod platform with four fixed pulleys and a translational platform. This fixed platform is stationary on the frame. Simultaneously, the deposition base rod lifting platform, at its highest point, begins melting the quartz doll. The lifting platform slowly moves downwards until the entire deposition base rod is completely below the fixed platform. At this point, the cutting mechanism separates the deposition base rod from the quartz glass doll. The conveying mechanism removes the deposition base rod, and the lifting platform rises to continue melting the quartz doll, achieving continuous production of quartz glass dolls.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
