Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath. Background Technology

[0002] Float glass forming inevitably produces tin ash (various tin oxides) that accumulates under the edge of the glass sheet, causing glass defects such as tin adhesion. Currently, there are no good equipment or tools to remove this ash, especially since electronic glass requires high-quality glass surfaces.

[0003] Currently, cleaning requires collecting the boards and opening the operating door at the edge of the tin bath to use wooden strips to remove the tin ash from under the boards to ensure board surface quality. This method significantly impacts production output and the temperature control of the tin bath, and subsequent production recovery is slow. Therefore, this invention proposes a method and apparatus for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath. This method and apparatus can automatically clean tin ash from the edge of the tin bath, which greatly ensures the smoothness and stability of float glass production and improves the production efficiency of the entire float glass production line.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Securely install the dust removal device at the edge of the float tin bath;

[0008] Step 2: Adjust the position of the ash-raking mechanism on the ash-cleaning device;

[0009] Step 3: Start the dust removal device, observe its effect on the tin bath rim, and adjust it to its optimal working condition. Once adjusted, put it into production.

[0010] A device for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath includes a steel plate fixedly connected to the main body of the tin bath. Two first connecting plates and a second connecting plate are fixedly connected to one side of the steel plate. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the two first connecting plates. One end of the drive shaft is driven by a transmission mechanism connected to the steel plate. Two first fixed pulleys are fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft. A mounting frame is slidably connected to each of the two second connecting plates. A second fixed pulley is rotatably connected within the mounting frame. A steel wire rope is driven between the first and second fixed pulleys. A rake is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope. A tensioning mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the transmission mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to a steel plate, a motor fixedly connected to the mounting plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the mounting plate via a coupling at the output end of the motor, one end of the rotating shaft being fixedly connected to one end of a transmission shaft via a coupling, and a timer controller fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the timer controller being electrically connected to the motor's control switch via a wire.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the tensioning mechanism includes an adjusting plate fixedly connected to a steel plate, an adjusting bolt threadedly connected to the adjusting plate, a connecting block rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting bolt, and a tensioning spring fixedly connected to the mounting frame on one side of the connecting block.

The rake carries the tin ash that has accumulated in the middle of the edge plate of the tin bath body and floats on the tin liquid to the edge of the tin bath body. Then, the tin ash is carried into the slag removal port by the slag removal machine at the edge of the tin bath body and discharged. This realizes the automatic cleaning of the tin ash at the edge of the tin bath body without manual shutdown. At the same time, it realizes the cleaning of tin ash under the edge plate without lifting the edge pulling machine and without collecting the glass plate.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] This invention relates to a method for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath, characterized by the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: Securely install the dust removal device at the edge of the float tin bath;

[0028] Step 2: Adjust the position of the ash-raking mechanism on the ash-cleaning device;

[0029] Step 3: Start the dust removal device, observe its effect on the tin bath rim, and adjust it to its optimal working condition. Once adjusted, put it into production.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, a device for cleaning tin ash from the edge of a float glass tin bath is disclosed. The device includes a steel plate 2 fixedly connected to the tin bath body 1. Two first connecting plates 3 and a second connecting plate 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the steel plate 2. A drive shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the two first connecting plates 3. One end of the drive shaft 5 is connected to a transmission mechanism connected to the steel plate 2. Two first fixed pulleys 6 are fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 5. Mounting frames 7 are slidably connected to the two second connecting plates 4. A second fixed pulley 8 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frames 7. A steel wire rope 9 is connected between the first fixed pulleys 6 and the second fixed pulleys 8. A rake 10 is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope 9. A tensioning mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 7. When tin ash accumulates at the edge of the tin bath body 1 where the glass exits, the device is activated by the transmission mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the transmission shaft 5 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the first fixed pulley 6 to rotate. The cooperation of the first fixed pulley 6 and the second fixed pulley 8 drives the wire rope 9 to reciprocate. The wire rope 9 drives the rake 10 to reciprocate. The rake 10 carries the tin ash accumulated in the middle of the lower edge of the tin bath body 1 and floating on the molten tin to the edge of the tin bath body 1. Then, the tin ash is carried into the slag removal outlet by the slag removal machine at the edge of the tin bath and discharged. (The slag removal machine is an existing technology in this field and can automatically clean the tin ash on the side of the molten tin bath.) This achieves automatic cleaning of the tin ash at the edge of the tin bath body 1 without manual shutdown or production line stoppage, greatly ensuring the smoothness and stability of float glass production and improving the production efficiency of the entire float glass production line.

[0031] The transmission mechanism includes a mounting plate 11 fixedly connected to the steel plate 2. A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 13 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11 via a coupling. One end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission shaft 5 via a coupling. A timer controller 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11. The timer controller 14 is electrically connected to the control switch of the motor 12 via a wire. The motor 12 is controlled by a PLC programming program, which can control the forward and reverse rotation and the rotation angle of the motor 12. At the same time, by controlling the motor 12 to work at intervals through the timer controller 14, when solder ash accumulates at the edge of the solder bath, the timer controller 14 controls the control switch to work, thereby starting the motor 12. The motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 13 drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 5 drives the first fixed pulley 6 to rotate.

[0032] The tensioning mechanism includes an adjusting plate 15 fixedly connected to the steel plate 2. An adjusting bolt 16 is threaded onto the adjusting plate 15. A connecting block 17 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting bolt 16. A tension spring 18 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 17. When the wire rope 9 becomes loose, the adjusting bolt 16 is rotated, causing the connecting block 17 to move. The connecting block 17 then causes the tension spring 18 to move, which in turn causes the mounting frame 7 to move. The mounting frame 7 then causes the second fixed pulley 8 to move, thereby achieving tensioning of the wire rope 9 and preventing the wire rope 9 from causing the target 10 to deviate.

[0033] One side of the rake 10 is arc-shaped. The arc design makes the rake 10 match the curvature of the tin bath edge, which makes it easier for the rake to push the tin ash at the edge of the bath.

[0034] There are two steel wire ropes 9, and each steel wire rope 9 is provided with a fixing block 19 that is fixedly connected to the rake 10. The stability of the rake 10 is improved by using two steel wire ropes 9.

[0035] The rake 10 is made of molybdenum metal, which helps to overcome the high temperature inside the tin bath.

[0036] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When tin ash accumulates at the edge of the tin bath body 1 where the glass exits, the transmission mechanism drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate reciprocally. The transmission shaft 5 drives the first fixed pulley 6 to rotate. The cooperation of the first fixed pulley 6 and the second fixed pulley 8 drives the wire rope 9 to move reciprocally. The wire rope 9 drives the rake 10 to move reciprocally. The rake 10 carries the tin ash accumulated under the edge plate of the tin bath body 1 and floating on the molten tin to the side of the tin bath body 1. Then, the tin ash is carried into the slag removal port by the slag removal machine at the side of the tin bath and discharged. (The slag removal machine is an existing technology in the field and can automatically clean the tin ash on the side of the molten tin bath.) This achieves automatic cleaning of the tin ash at the edge of the tin bath body 1 without manual shutdown or production line stoppage, greatly ensuring the smoothness and stability of float glass production and improving the production efficiency of the entire float glass production line.

[0037] When the wire rope 9 becomes loose, the adjusting bolt 16 is rotated, which causes the connecting block 17 to move. The connecting block 17 then causes the tension spring 18 to move, which in turn causes the mounting frame 7 to move. The mounting frame 7 then causes the second fixed pulley 8 to move, thereby tensioning the wire rope 9 and preventing the wire rope 9 from causing the target 10 to deviate.

[0038] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
