A glass furnace with an energy-saving dual heating system

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of glass furnace technology, specifically to an energy-saving glass furnace with a dual heating system. The furnace body contains adjustable electric heating components. During movement, these components are synchronized by a control assembly that allows them to move synchronously and distribute heat evenly. As the heating rods heat, the transmission gear and the following gear move synchronously with the staggered toothed plates. Simultaneously, the two built-in mounting rods rotate synchronously inside the furnace body, ensuring uniform heating. Furthermore, as the built-in mounting rods rotate, the linkage rod moves along the staggered guide frame, causing the rods to tilt along the guide frame's trajectory. This allows the heating rods to face the shelf during rotation, facilitating direct heating of the glass objects.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass furnace technology, specifically to an energy-saving glass furnace with a dual heating system. Background Technology

[0002] Glass furnaces are essential melting devices in the glass manufacturing industry. The choice of fuel for glass production is influenced by various factors, including industry technology, product type, economic efficiency, cost, and environmental considerations. Common fuels include heavy oil, natural gas, coal gas, and electricity. The first three types generate flame heating and are called flame furnaces, while the fourth type uses electric heating and is called electric melting furnaces. In electric melting furnaces, oil or combustible gas burns in the flame space, radiating heat to the surface of the glass raw materials in the glass bath and melting them through heat conduction. These furnaces have a thermal efficiency of 28%–40% and a daily output exceeding one hundred tons. In electro-melting, current is introduced into the molten glass through electrodes. When electricity is applied, the molten glass between the electrodes generates Joule heat under the influence of alternating current; that is, electrical energy melts the glass through its conductivity. These furnaces have a thermal efficiency greater than 70%, but their daily output exceeds fifty tons.

[0003] Most current glass melting furnaces use coal-fired gas furnaces, which obviously suffer from low thermal efficiency and high pollution emissions, especially when market demands require a daily output of at least 70 tons. However, electric furnaces typically produce less than 50 tons per day, which cannot meet market demand, and large-scale electric melting furnaces with a daily output exceeding 50 tons are not yet technologically mature. Furthermore, the variety of glass products changes frequently, leading to significant fluctuations in daily output. Under such conditions, using all-electric melting furnaces is technically unsuitable. However, other methods, such as coal and gas furnaces, suffer from low thermal efficiency and high pollution emissions. Therefore, addressing the shortcomings of both methods and integrating their advantages to achieve environmental protection and energy conservation is of great practical and urgent significance.

[0031] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will now be described in detail. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without requiring some of these specific details. The following description of embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the invention by illustrating examples of the invention. The invention is by no means limited to any specific configurations and algorithms presented below, but covers any modifications, substitutions, and improvements to elements, components, and algorithms without departing from the spirit of the invention. Well-known structures and techniques are not shown in the drawings and the following description in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a technical solution: including a kiln body 1, a shelf 11 is provided inside the kiln body 1, a kiln door 12 is provided on the kiln body 1 and an inner edge groove 13 is opened inside the kiln body 1.

[0033] The kiln body 1 is equipped with an adjustable electric heating component inside, which tilts during movement; the adjustable electric heating component is completely inside the kiln body 1, which also operates by flame heating.

[0034] A synchronization control component is provided between the adjustable electric heating components, which allows the two adjustable electric heating components to move synchronously and distribute heat evenly.

[0035] The adjustable electric heating assembly includes a built-in mounting rod 2, an electric heating rod 21, an embedded slider 22, a guide slide frame 23, a moving block 24, a side limiting block 25, an interlaced guide frame 26, a linkage rod 27, and an extension connecting rod 28. The electric heating rod 21 is evenly embedded in the built-in mounting rod 2. The embedded slider 22 is movably connected to the built-in mounting rod 2. The guide slide frame 23 is fixed to the embedded slider 22. The moving block 24 passes through the guide slide frame 23. The side limiting block 25 is fixed to the embedded slider 22. The interlaced guide frame 26 is located diagonally above the guide slide frame 23. The linkage rod 27 passes through the interlaced guide frame 26. The extension connecting rod 28 is installed on the upper side of the interlaced guide frame 26. The extension connecting rod 28 and the interlaced guide frame 26 are integrally formed. The linkage rod 27 is T-shaped. After the inlaid slider 22 passes through the inner edge groove 13, the side limiting block 25 is fixed to the inlaid slider 22, thus preventing the inlaid slider 22 from detaching from the inner edge groove 13.

[0036] Built-in mounting rods 2 are symmetrically arranged inside the kiln body 1. An embedded slider 22 is embedded inside the inner edge groove 13. A moving block 24 is fixedly connected to the built-in mounting rods 2. The side of the built-in mounting rod 2 away from the moving block 24 is movably connected to the embedded slider 22. The built-in mounting rod 2 and the embedded slider 22 are rotatably connected. The moving block 24 is fixedly connected to the linkage rod 27. The upper side of the extension connecting rod 28 is fixed to the kiln body 1. Both the guide slide frame 23 and the staggered guide frame 26 are arc-shaped frames, and they are staggered.

[0037] The built-in mounting rod 2 has an access groove 201, and the inside of the built-in mounting rod 2 has symmetrically provided inner slots 202. An insertion rod 203 is inserted into the access groove 201. An extension cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 203. The extension cylinder 204 is inserted into the inside of the built-in mounting rod 2. Elastic locking rods 205 are symmetrically provided on the extension cylinder 204. A slot is provided on the extension cylinder 204 to correspond to the elastic locking rod 205. The elastic locking rod 205 is located inside the slot and passes through the slot. The insertion slot 201 guides the insertion of the insertion rod 203, so that the extension cylinder 204 is inserted into the built-in mounting rod 2. During the process of the extension cylinder 204 being inserted into the built-in mounting rod 2, the elastic locking rod 205 will undergo elastic deformation and retract into the slot. When the position of the elastic locking rod 205 corresponds to the inner locking groove 202, the elastic locking rod 205 will reset and lock into the inner locking groove 202, quickly fixing the position of the extension cylinder 204.

[0038] The spacer cylinder 204 has a U-shaped retracting push rod 206 inside. An isolating cylinder 207 is fixedly connected to the spacer cylinder 204, and a push rod 208 passes through the isolating cylinder 207. The push rod 208 is fixedly connected to the retracting push rod 206. An outer top spring 209 is fitted onto the push rod 208, and the outer top spring 209 is located inside the isolating cylinder 207. A fixedly connected fitting baffle 2010 is also provided on the spacer cylinder 204. The fitting baffle 2010 is inserted into the gap of the electric heating rod 21, locking the position of the electric heating rod 21.

[0039] The quick fixing of the extension cylinder 204 enables the quick fixing of the fitting baffle 2010, thus quickly fixing the electric heating rod 21. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the electric heating rod 21, the push rod 208 is pressed, causing the retracting push rod 206 to move inside the extension cylinder 204. At this time, the retracting push rod 206 presses the elastic locking rod 205 inward, and then the elastic locking rod 205 leaves the inner locking groove 202. At this time, the extension cylinder 204 can be pulled out, realizing the quick disassembly of the fitting baffle 2010.

[0040] The synchronous control assembly includes an adjustable pull frame 3, a receiving slider 31, an inclined support rod 32, a staggered toothed plate 33, a receiving insertion frame 34, a transmission gear 35, and a motor shaft 36. The receiving slider 31 is inserted into the adjustable pull frame 3, and the inclined support rod 32 is movably connected to the receiving slider 31. The receiving slider 31 is convex in shape, and the receiving slider 31 and the inclined support rod 32 are movably connected by a pin. The staggered toothed plate 33 is fixed to the inclined support rod 32, and the staggered toothed plate 33 is fixed to the inclined support rod 32. The toothed plates 33 are set in two groups, and the two groups of toothed plates 33 are staggered vertically. The guide frame 34 is inserted into the interior of the staggered toothed plates 33. The interior of the staggered toothed plates 33 has a corresponding groove for the guide frame 34 so that the staggered toothed plates 33 can rotate along the guide frame 34. The transmission gear 35 is set on one of the staggered toothed plates 33, which is the staggered toothed plate 33 closest to the kiln body 1. The motor shaft 36 is fixed on the transmission gear 35.

[0041] The adjustable pull frame 3 is fixed to the built-in mounting rod 2, and the adjustable pull frame 3 is located inside the kiln body 1. The side of the connecting frame 34 away from the staggered toothed plate 33 is fixed to the kiln body 1. The transmission gear 35 is meshed with the staggered toothed plate 33. The motor shaft 36 is movably connected to the kiln body 1. The motor shaft 36 is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0042] A synchronizing rod 3501 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission gear 35 away from the motor shaft 36. A first gear 3502 is fixedly connected to the side of the synchronizing rod 3501 away from the transmission gear 35. A second gear 3503 is meshed on the lower side of the first gear 3502. A follower gear 3504 is fixedly connected to the second gear 3503. The follower gear 3504 is movably connected to the kiln body 1. The first gear 3502 and the second gear 3503 are meshed. The follower gear 3504 is meshed with another staggered toothed plate 33. The transmission gear 35 is driven to rotate by the motor shaft 36. After the transmission gear 35 rotates, it will drive the first gear 3502 to rotate through the synchronizing rod 3501. The first gear 3502 drives the follower gear 3504 to rotate through the second gear 3503. Since the rotation of the follower gear 3504 is achieved through the transmission of two gears, the rotation direction of the follower gear 3504 is opposite to that of the transmission gear 35.

[0043] The kiln body 1 can be heated by the electric heating rod 21. This combination of gas heating and electric heating increases the thermal utilization rate of the kiln and avoids problems such as large pollution emissions.

[0044] During the heating process of the electric heating rod 21, the transmission gear 35 and the follower gear 3504 move synchronously with the staggered tooth plate 33. At this time, the two built-in mounting rods 2 rotate synchronously inside the kiln body 1, so that the electric heating rod 21 can be heated evenly inside the kiln body 1. At the same time, during the rotation of the built-in mounting rod 2, the linkage rod 27 will move along the staggered guide frame 26. At this time, the built-in mounting rod 2 will tilt along the movement trajectory of the guide slide frame 23, so that the electric heating rod 21 can face the shelf 11 during rotation, which is convenient for the glass objects to be directly heated.
