Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dewatering devices, and more specifically, to a dewatering device for a glass washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In photovoltaic glass products, the glass plate is one of the important structural components. During the processing and production process, the glass plate needs to be cleaned, at least one side of its inner wall, to prevent dirt from affecting light transmission.

[0003] Currently, glass cleaning and drying machines are mostly used for cleaning and drying glass plates. These machines mainly consist of roller conveyors, spray scrubbing devices, and hot air drying devices. Hot air is directly sprayed onto the water-stained glass plates until they are dry. Although the ultimate goal is to dry the glass plates, directly spraying water-stained glass plates takes a long time and may leave marks. To address this, some glass cleaning and drying machines have added a water removal structure between the spray scrubbing device and the hot air drying device to reduce the amount of water used.

[0004] For example, a glass production cleaning and drying device disclosed in Chinese patent CN107900053A uses a water-absorbing sponge to absorb water from the glass plate before drying, thereby achieving the effect of accelerating drying and improving cleaning quality.

[0005] However, it only provides absorbent sponges and does not have a structure to dry the absorbent sponges themselves. When the absorbent sponges are saturated with water, they can no longer absorb or remove water. It is necessary to replace the absorbent sponges to perform the water absorption and removal operations, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a water removal device for a glass cleaning machine, including a machine cover 100 and at least two wiping devices 200 mounted on the machine cover 100; the wiping device 200 includes a drive structure 300, a support frame 400, a support roller 500, a sponge sleeve 600, an air jet assembly 700, an air extraction pipe 800, a first electric heating element 901, and a second electric heating element 902; the support roller 500 is mounted on the support frame 400, and the sponge sleeve 600 is supported by multiple support rollers 500 to form a trapezoidal columnar profile. The bottom of the sleeve 600 is tilted upwards towards the side closer to the input end. The support roller 500 is driven by the drive structure 300, thereby driving the sponge sleeve 600 to rotate cyclically. The jet assembly 700, the first heating element 901 and the second heating element 902 are located inside the sponge sleeve 600. The first heating element 901 is located on the side wall of the sponge sleeve 600 away from the input end, and the second heating element 902 is located below the top of the sponge sleeve 600. The jet assembly 700 blows air towards the top of the sponge sleeve 600. The suction pipe 800 is located above the top of the sponge sleeve 600.

[0037] The aforementioned water removal device for a glass cleaning machine includes at least two wiping devices mounted on the machine cover. Each wiping device includes a drive structure, a support frame, support rollers, a sponge sleeve, an air jet assembly, an extraction pipe, a first heating element, and a second heating element. The support rollers are mounted on the support frame, and the sponge sleeve is supported by multiple support rollers, forming a trapezoidal columnar profile. The support rollers are driven by the drive structure, thereby causing the sponge sleeve to rotate cyclically. The air jet assembly, the first heating element, and the second heating element are located inside the sponge sleeve. The first heating element is located on the side of the sponge sleeve away from the input end, and the second heating element is located below the top of the sponge sleeve. The air jet assembly blows air towards the top of the sponge sleeve. The extraction pipe is located above the top of the sponge sleeve. The rotating sponge sleeve absorbs water droplets on the glass plate below it, and the water-absorbing part passes through the second heating element during its movement. The heating element and the first electric heating element are heated when passing through the second electric heating element, and an air jet assembly sprays air at this point to effectively dry and remove moisture from the water-absorbing part. Afterward, it continues to pass through the first electric heating element to further ensure the drying quality and maintain the effective water absorption efficiency of the sponge sleeve. In addition, this design also allows the sponge sleeve to retain a certain amount of residual heat, which can play a certain auxiliary drying role, especially for the wiping device at the downstream end. The whole process can effectively absorb and remove water from the glass plate, and can also dry the water-absorbing part itself, achieving a cyclical working effect without the need for frequent replacement of the water-absorbing part, thus improving work efficiency. The sponge sleeve maintains a trapezoidal columnar profile, with a small water-absorbing part that can be quickly rotated, and provides a large heating and air blowing range, thereby effectively enhancing the drying effect of the sponge sleeve.

[0038] The bottom of the sponge sleeve curves upward towards the input end, and the distance between the glass plate and the outer wall of the sponge sleeve gradually decreases along the conveying direction. This means that the sponge sleeve in the first position can contact the top of the water droplet first, achieving a step-by-step water absorption effect. This effectively ensures the efficiency and comprehensiveness of water absorption, and also expands the distribution area of ​​the liquid on the sponge sleeve, thus facilitating the subsequent drying of the sponge sleeve and maintaining the subsequent effective water absorption effect, forming a virtuous cycle.

[0039] Furthermore, the air compressor supplies air to the outside of the jet assembly, providing a strong blowing effect to assist the sponge sleeve during the heating and drying process, accelerating the removal of moisture and improving the drying speed and quality; the exhaust pipe is connected to the air inlet of the external fan to extract moisture during the drying process; it should be noted that the air compressor and fan are common air supply and extraction devices, and their specific structures will not be described in detail.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom surface of the sponge sleeve 600 is tilted upwards at an angle of 1° to 5° towards the input end, maintaining a small tilt angle to ensure effective contact and achieve a step-by-step water absorption effect. It should be noted that this structure, combined with the lifting function, can better adapt to glass plates of different thicknesses. The lifting function includes, but is not limited to, being installed on the dewatering device; more preferably, it is directly installed on the conveying device to achieve the above functions. It can also be matched with spray brushing devices and hot air drying devices to achieve brushing and drying of glass plates of different thicknesses. Furthermore, there are notches at the bottom of both ends of the machine cover as the entry and exit points for the glass plates. The bottom of the sponge sleeve is lower than the top surface of the notch to ensure that the sponge sleeve can contact the glass plates it passes through.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the support frame 400 includes an inner frame 410, a bracket 420, and two limiting frames 430. The two limiting frames 430 are respectively installed at both ends of the inner frame 410. The support roller 500 is rotatably mounted between the two limiting frames 430, surrounding the outer side of the inner frame 410. A first heating element 901 is installed on one side of the inner frame 410, with its heating surface adjacent to the inner wall of the sponge sleeve. A plurality of second heating elements 902 are evenly spaced on the top surface of the inner frame 410, with their heating surfaces adjacent to the inner wall of the sponge sleeve. An air jet assembly 700 is installed inside the inner frame 410. The jet assembly 700 is equipped with multiple jet pipes 710, which are staggered and spaced apart from the second heating element 902. The jet pipes 710 spray air onto the top inner wall of the sponge sleeve 600. The bracket 420 is mounted on the top of the inner frame 410, and the suction pipe 800 is mounted on the bracket 420, located above the sponge sleeve 600. The bracket 420 is fixed to the machine cover 100 by bolts. The whole adopts an assembled structure, which facilitates the processing and production of each structural component and the subsequent maintenance and replacement of local parts or electrical components, making it easy to operate.

[0042] Furthermore, both the first heating element 901 and the second heating element 902 are heating plate structures, and the sponge sleeve 600 slides against the heating surfaces of the first heating element 901 and the second heating element 902. The use of a heating plate structure allows the sponge sleeve to effectively conduct heat when it is in close contact with the heating surface, thereby effectively heating and drying the sponge sleeve.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the inner frame 410 includes a base plate 411, upright plates 412 fixed at both ends of the base plate 411, and a support plate 413 fixed at the top of the upright plate 412. The width of the support plate 413 is greater than the width of the base plate 411. The two sides of the two support plates 413 are connected by a first support strip 414. The end of the first support strip 414 is connected to the base plate 411 by an inclined support strip 415. The first support strip, the base plate and the support strip form a first open area, and the two support plates and the two first support strips form a second open area. The first electric heating element is installed in the first open area, and the second electric heating element and the air jet pipe are installed in the second open area. By matching the plates and support strips, the overall material consumption is reduced without affecting the overall structural strength. An effective open area is also formed, which facilitates the layout and installation of the first electric heating element, the second electric heating element and the air jet assembly, facilitates the heat transfer between the sponge sleeve and the first and second electric heating elements, and also facilitates the exhaust of moisture.

[0044] The limiting frame 430 has a trapezoidal structure and is fixedly installed on the support plate 413 by bolts, surrounding both ends of the inner frame 410. The limiting frame 430 has first perforations 431 at its four corners. The support roller 500 is rotatably mounted between two opposite first perforations 431, so that the support roller is mounted stably and maintains a parallel layout, providing multi-point support and tension for the sponge sleeve, maintaining its trapezoidal profile, and providing the required water absorption and drying effect. The bracket 420 has a gantry structure, and the two support legs of the bracket 420 are mounted on the support plate 413 by bolts. The exhaust pipe 800 is mounted on the bracket 420, maintaining an appropriate spacing, and providing an effective exhaust and dehumidification effect.

[0045] Furthermore, the main body of the limiting frame is a trapezoidal plate structure. The trapezoidal plate has an open opening in the middle, a notch at the top of the open opening, and docking plates at the bottom on both sides of the notch. The docking plates abut against the top surface of the support plate and are fixed by bolts. The first through hole is located at the four corners of the trapezoidal plate, and the upright plate passes through the limiting frame through the open opening. This prevents interference and space occupation between the limiting frame and the inner frame, ensuring effective cooperation and making the overall structure more compact. The limiting frame is detachable and can be installed on the inner frame. The limiting frame can be installed on one side first, and the support roller and sponge sleeve can be installed before the other limiting frame is installed, thereby effectively supporting the support roller.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, a protruding tube 421 is fixedly provided on one side wall of the bracket 420. The inner diameter of the protruding tube 421 is adapted to the diameter of the suction pipe 800. A seventh through hole 422 is provided on the other side wall of the bracket 420. Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the hood 100 is provided with an eighth perforation 103. A third flange is fixed at one end of the exhaust pipe. The third flange abuts against the outside of the seventh perforation and is fixedly connected by bolts. The air inlet of the external fan is connected to an exhaust pipe. Multiple branch pipes are connected to the exhaust pipe. The ends of the branch pipes are provided with joints. The joints pass through the eighth and seventh perforations and are connected to the end of the exhaust pipe. The bottom of the exhaust pipe is provided with multiple exhaust holes extending along the length direction.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the machine cover 100 is provided with a second through hole 104 corresponding to the support roller 500, which is connected to the drive structure for transmission. A support member 903 is installed at each second through hole 104. The support member includes a sleeve and a first flange fixed at the end of the sleeve. The diameter of the sleeve is adapted to the diameter of the second through hole. The first flange is fixed to the machine cover by bolts. The sleeve extends into the inside of the machine cover. The shaft of the support roller is rotatably inserted into the sleeve. The support member provides secondary rotational support for the support roller, which can further limit the rotation and strengthen the cooperation between the wiping device and the machine cover.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upright plate 412 is provided with a fifth through hole 416, and a terminal block 904 is installed at the fifth through hole 416. The connecting wires of the first heating element and the second heating element are connected to the terminal block. The side wall of the cover is provided with a sixth through hole corresponding to the fifth through hole. The external power supply line is connected to the terminal block to supply power to the internal first heating element and the second heating element.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the sponge sleeve 600 has a first synchronous belt 610 fixed inside both ends; the support roller 500 has a first pulley 510 corresponding to both ends; the sponge sleeve 600 is sleeved on the outside of multiple support rollers 500, and the first synchronous belt 610 meshes with the first pulley 510 for transmission; the shaft of one of the support rollers 500 of the wiping device 200 is connected to the drive structure 300 for transmission, which can effectively strengthen the transmission connection between the support roller and the sponge sleeve, ensure that the sponge sleeve is driven to perform the required movement effect, realize the effective rotation of the water absorption part, and thus ensure the required water absorption and removal effect.

[0050] Furthermore, the sponge sleeve 600 has multiple grooves 620 on the inner wall area between the two first synchronous belts 610. The grooves 620 extend along the length of the sponge sleeve 600 to the side walls of the two first synchronous belts 610. The multiple grooves 620 are evenly spaced along the moving trajectory of the sponge sleeve 600, which can further expand the heat transfer area. Although the area in direct contact with the heating element is reduced, the heating surface also transfers heat to the outside and facilitates the heat transfer to the sponge sleeve. The grooves increase the contact area with this part of the heat without weakening the heat transfer. The design of the grooves means that the thickness of this part is reduced, which facilitates the air blowing and dehumidification, thereby further enhancing the overall drying effect.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 9As shown, the drive structure 300 includes a motor 310 and a rotating connector 320. The rotating connector 320 includes a limiting plate 321, an insertion tube 322 and a column 323 respectively fixed at the middle of both ends of the limiting plate 321. The inner diameter of the insertion tube 322 is adapted to the diameter of the rotating shaft of the support roller 500. The rotating shaft of the corresponding support roller is inserted into the insertion tube and fixedly connected by a pin. The outer wall of the machine cover 100 has a first circular hole 101 corresponding to the insertion tube 322. The diameter of the first circular hole 101 is adapted to the outer diameter of the insertion tube 322. The limiting plate abuts against the machine cover. The outer wall slides; the column 323 and the output shaft of the motor 310 are connected by a synchronous belt pulley assembly, and the motor is fixedly mounted on the machine cover by bolts; a second pulley is fixedly provided on the column, and a third pulley is fixedly provided on the output shaft of the motor. The third pulley and the second pulley are connected by a second synchronous belt. This structural design can be used as a component for later assembly. After the main structure inside the machine cover is installed in place, the drive structure is then installed on the outside of the machine cover. The installation position is close to the bottom of the machine cover, which facilitates actual disassembly and assembly.

[0052] Furthermore, the first pulley 510 is located on the side of the limiting frame 430 near the center of the inner frame 410, and the end of the sponge sleeve 600 slides against the inner wall of the limiting frame 430. The limiting frame restricts both ends of the sponge sleeve, allowing the sponge sleeve to move smoothly. Since the two ends of the sponge sleeve are provided with the first synchronous belt, the first synchronous belt strengthens the structural strength of the end and slides against the limiting frame, which can prevent the end from deforming and ensure the cooperation between the first synchronous belt and the first pulley to a certain extent.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the jet assembly 700 includes a manifold 720 and multiple jet pipes 710. The top surface of each jet pipe 710 has an elongated jet hole 730. All jet pipes 710 are connected to the manifold 720. The outer wall of the manifold port has a second flange. One of the vertical plates 412 has a corresponding third through hole 417. The second flange is fixed to the outside of the third through hole by bolts. The third through hole corresponds to the port of the manifold. The side wall of the shroud 100 has a fourth through hole 102 corresponding to the third through hole 417. An air supply pipe is connected to the air compressor output port. Multiple branch pipes are connected to the air supply pipe. The ends of the branch pipes have connectors. The connectors pass through the fourth and third through holes and are connected to the corresponding manifolds. The internal structure of the shroud can be installed first, and the matching pipes can be assembled and connected later, which facilitates actual assembly and subsequent maintenance.
