Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of glass liquid flow simulation devices, specifically relating to an electrode assembly and a glass liquid flow simulation device using the electrode assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The thermal-electric hybrid melting technology for flat glass is still in the experimental and exploratory stage in the flat glass industry. Using a physical melting furnace to study the thermal-electric hybrid melting system would be too costly and wasteful of energy. Physical simulation utilizes the principle of similarity, establishing a physical simulation device in a small-scale model similar to the prototype melting furnace, using a simulated liquid with properties similar to high-temperature molten glass. This allows for the investigation of the impact of different schemes on the furnace's operating state. The uniformity of the molten glass determines the quality of the produced glass, and the various circulation states directly affect the melting, clarifying, and homogenizing quality of the molten glass. The circulation state is influenced by the manufacturing structure and operating procedures. However, the circulation speed in the production line is extremely slow, the adjustment cycle is long, the proportion of circulating flow is unknown, and once production is stable, parameters cannot be arbitrarily changed for process optimization experiments. Therefore, to reflect the actual situation of the molten glass, a molten glass flow simulation device will be used.

[0003] The electrodes used may be oxidized, especially copper electrodes, which form copper oxide on their surface. This oxidation can also cause organic matter and impurities to adhere to the electrode surface, reducing its thermal conductivity and leading to unstable thermal efficiency. It can even alter the electrode composition, affecting the actual heating effect of the simulated liquid. Furthermore, the recycling of molten glass involves only simple transportation. When the liquid is cooled and then re-transported into the heating zone of the electrode assembly, liquid backflow can occur. To address this issue, we propose an electrode assembly and a molten glass flow simulation device using this electrode assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an electrode assembly, comprising a fixing plate one, a heat-conducting plate fixedly disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate one, a plurality of electrode bodies fixedly disposed on the heat-conducting plate, a plurality of conveying ports opened on the side of the fixing plate one, a plurality of symmetrically arranged slots one opened on the upper surface of the fixing plate one, a cleaning component for cleaning the electrode bodies disposed on the fixing plate one, the cleaning component comprising a top plate and a fixing plate two, a plurality of ultrasonic rings fixedly disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate two, a plurality of driving ends for lifting and lowering the fixing plate two disposed between the top plate and the fixing plate two, wherein the driving ends are hydraulic rods, and a plurality of support plates fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the top plate.

[0006] A glass liquid flow simulation device includes the aforementioned electrode assembly and a frame. The frame is equipped with a support and a conveying component for conveying the glass liquid. The conveying component includes a stirring tank, a material box, and a conveying pump. The stirring tank is located below and communicates with the material box. Multiple sets of rotating shafts are rotatably arranged inside the stirring tank. A fan blade is arranged on the outside of the rotating shaft. A rotating cylinder is fixedly arranged on the fan blade, and a second fan blade is fixedly arranged on the rotating cylinder. Multiple sets of conduits are fixedly arranged on the stirring tank.

[0007] Preferably, the material box is provided with a pipe, and a plurality of round pipes are provided on one side of the pipe. The ends of the round pipes are connected to the interior of the material box. A rubber pad is provided on the round pipe, and a conveying groove is provided inside the rubber pad. A flexible hose is fixedly provided at one end of the conveying groove, and the end of the flexible hose extends into the interior of the fixing plate.

[0008] Preferably, the frame is provided with a guide pipe, the delivery pump is fixed on the guide pipe and connected to the guide pipe, and multiple sets of hoses are fixedly provided on the delivery pump, with the ends of the hoses extending into the interior of the fixed plate.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying component is provided with an anti-backflow component to prevent the molten glass from flowing back. The anti-backflow component includes a second pipe installed inside the conveying trough. The second pipe has an annular tube inside. A second return spring is fixedly installed at the end of the annular tube. A conical block is fixedly installed at the end of the second return spring. A conical groove is also formed on the inner wall of the second pipe. A retaining ring is fixedly installed inside the second pipe. The end of the conical block can pass through the inside of the retaining ring and extend into the inside of the conical groove.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the annular tube is fixedly provided with two sets of sliders three, and the inner wall of the pipe two is provided with two sets of limiting grooves for limiting the sliders three.

[0011] Preferably, a round shaft and a fixing rod are fixedly installed on the bracket, and the bottom of the second fixing plate is fixed to the top of the bracket.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] (1) The present invention uses a cleaning component designed to drive the ultrasonic ring at the lower end of the fixing plate to wrap different electrode bodies. After wrapping, the ultrasonic ring can be activated to generate ultrasonic waves to quickly remove organic matter and impurities attached to the electrode bodies, reducing the need for staff to clean the surface organic matter and impurities of the electrode bodies after testing.

[0014] (2) The present invention uses a designed conveyor to transport molten glass. When the molten glass is transported, it flows from the electrode assembly into the material box, and then passes through the stirring tank, the guide pipe, and the delivery pump in sequence before entering the electrode assembly again. The rotating shaft drives the fan blade to rotate. At the same time, the fan blade can stir the molten glass inside the stirring tank. During the stirring, the rotating drum and the fan blade will also drive the glass liquid inside the fixed plate in the electrode assembly to be stirred a second time, so that it can be fully mixed, thereby facilitating better detection and simulation of the liquid in the future.

[0015] (3) The present invention, through the design of the anti-backflow component, can quickly pass the glass liquid through the second pipe by the cooperation of the annular pipe and the conical groove. When backflow occurs, the backflowing glass liquid flows into the annular pipe from left to right and squeezes the annular pipe. The annular pipe squeezes the second reset spring, so that the second reset spring can drive the conical block to engage in the retaining ring and the conical groove, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of liquid backflow when the detection liquid is transferred to the heating area in the electrode assembly after cooling.

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This invention provides a technical solution: an electrode assembly, including a fixing plate 1, with a heat-conducting plate 12 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate 1. This arrangement allows heat to be transferred during ultrasound treatment via the heat-conducting plate 12. Multiple sets of electrode bodies 11 are fixedly disposed on the heat-conducting plate 12. The diameter of the ultrasound ring 21 is larger than the diameter of the electrode body 11. The area where the electrode body 11 is located is the heating zone. Multiple sets of conveying ports 14 are opened on the side of the fixing plate 1, through which molten glass in the electrode assembly flows into a pipe 31. Multiple sets of... The symmetrically arranged slot 13 has a cleaning component 2 on the fixing plate 1 for cleaning the electrode body 11. The cleaning component 2 includes a top plate 25 and a fixing plate 23. Multiple sets of ultrasonic rings 21 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the fixing plate 23. The ultrasonic rings 21 can remove organic matter and impurities on the electrode body 11. Multiple sets of drive ends 24 for raising and lowering the fixing plate 23 are arranged between the top plate 25 and the fixing plate 23. The drive ends 24 are hydraulic rods. Multiple sets of support plates 22 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the top plate 25. The fixing plate 23 and the ultrasonic rings 21 can be moved downward by the hydraulic rods.

[0028] The present invention uses a designed cleaning component, in which the driving end 24 drives the ultrasonic ring 21 at the lower end of the fixing plate 23 to wrap around different electrode bodies 11. After the wrapping is completed, the ultrasonic ring 21 can be activated to generate ultrasonic waves to quickly remove organic matter and impurities attached to the electrode body 11, reducing the need for workers to clean the surface organic matter and impurities of the electrode body 11 after the test is completed.

[0029] When in use, by activating the hydraulic rod in the drive end 24, the extended end of the hydraulic rod moves downward, driving the fixed plate 23 to move. The fixed plate 23 drives the ultrasonic ring 21 to move. Then, the bottom of the ultrasonic ring 21 covers the electrode body 11 on the electrode assembly. Then, the ultrasonic ring 21 is activated. Under the conduction of the glass liquid in the electrode assembly, the ultrasonic ring 21 causes the organic matter attached to the outer surface of the electrode body 11 to fall off without impurities, thereby cleaning.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The system includes an electrode assembly and a frame 5. The frame 5 is equipped with a support 35 and a conveying component 3 for conveying molten glass. The conveying component 3 includes a mixing tank 319, a material box 323, and a conveying pump 33. The molten glass in the mixing tank 319 is conveyed to the electrode assembly by the action of the conveying pump 33. The mixing tank 319 is located below and connected to the material box 323. Multiple sets of rotating shafts 313 are rotatably arranged inside the mixing tank 319. A motor is arranged outside the mixing tank 319 to drive the rotating shafts 313 to rotate. A fan blade 36 is arranged outside the rotating shaft 313. A rotating cylinder 310 is fixedly arranged on the fan blade 36. A fan blade 321 is fixedly arranged on the rotating cylinder 310. Multiple sets of conduits 320 are fixedly arranged on the mixing tank 319.

[0032] The material box 323 is provided with a pipe 31. Multiple sets of round pipes 315 are provided on one side of the pipe 31. The ends of the round pipes 315 are connected to the inside of the material box 323. A rubber pad 316 is provided on the round pipe 315. A conveying groove 317 is provided inside the rubber pad 316. The glass liquid located in the electrode assembly will enter the material box 323 through the conveying groove 317. A flexible hose 318 is fixedly provided at one end of the conveying groove 317. The end of the flexible hose 318 extends into the inside of the fixing plate 1.

[0033] A guide pipe 314 is provided on the frame 5. The delivery pump 33 is fixed on the guide pipe 314 and connected to the guide pipe 314. Multiple sets of hoses 32 are fixed on the delivery pump 33, and the ends of the hoses 32 extend into the interior of the fixing plate 1.

[0034] The present invention utilizes a designed conveyor system. When molten glass is being processed, it flows from the electrode assembly into the material box 323, then sequentially passes through the stirring tank 319, the guide pipe 314, and the delivery pump 33 before re-entering the electrode assembly. The rotating shaft 313 drives the fan blade 36 to rotate, which simultaneously stirs the molten glass inside the stirring tank 319. During this stirring, the rotating drum 310 and the second fan blade 321 also drive the glass liquid inside the fixed plate 1 in the electrode assembly to undergo secondary stirring, ensuring thorough mixing. This facilitates better subsequent liquid detection and simulation.

[0035] In use, molten glass is poured into the material box 323, and then the molten glass flows into the mixing tank 319 below. At this time, the motor located outside the mixing tank 319 drives the rotating shaft 313 to rotate, which in turn drives the fan blade 36, the rotating drum 310 and the fan blade 321 to rotate, stirring the molten glass. Then, it goes through the conduit 320 to the guide pipe 314, and then into the delivery pump 33. Then, it goes through the hose 32 to the electrode assembly, where the electrode body 11 heats the molten glass. Then, the molten glass in the electrode assembly goes through the pipe 31 to the material box 323, and then into the mixing tank 319, thus circulating to simulate the molten glass.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Based on Example 2, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The conveying component 3 is equipped with an anti-backflow component 4 to prevent the glass melt from flowing back. The anti-backflow component 4 includes a pipe 48 installed inside the conveying trough 317. The pipe 48 is equipped with an annular pipe 41. A reset spring 44 is fixedly installed at the end of the annular pipe 41. A conical block 47 is fixedly installed at the end of the reset spring 44. The end of the conical block 47 can block the inside of the retaining ring 45 and the inside of the conical groove 46. The inner wall of the pipe 48 is also provided with a conical groove 46. The retaining ring 45 is fixedly installed inside the pipe 48. The end of the conical block 47 can pass through the inside of the retaining ring 45 and extend into the inside of the conical groove 46.

[0038] Two sets of sliders 43 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the annular pipe 41, and two sets of limiting grooves 42 are opened on the inner wall of the pipe 48 for limiting the sliders 43.

[0039] The present invention, through the design of the anti-backflow component 4, and the cooperation of the annular tube 41 and the conical groove 46, enables the glass liquid to pass quickly through the second pipe 48. When backflow occurs, the backflowing glass liquid flows into the annular tube 41 from left to right and squeezes the annular tube 41. The annular tube 41 squeezes the second reset spring 44, so that the second reset spring 44 can drive the conical block 47 to engage in the retaining ring 45 and the conical groove 46, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of liquid backflow when the detection liquid is transferred to the heating area of ​​the electrode assembly after cooling.

[0040] When the molten glass in the material box 323 flows back into the electrode body 11, the molten glass will contact and press the annular tube 41 towards the electrode body 11. At this time, the annular tube 41 moves to the right, causing the slider 3 43 to slide in the limiting groove 42. The conical block 47 moves, and then the end of the conical block 47 is stuck inside the retaining ring 45 and the conical groove 46 to prevent the molten glass from flowing back. When the molten glass flows normally from the electrode body 11 into the material box 323, the molten glass flowing from the electrode assembly into the conical groove 46 will contact and press the conical block 47. At this time, the conical block 47 moves to the left and presses the reset spring 2 44. The reset spring 2 44 presses the annular tube 41 to move to the left, thereby causing the end of the conical block 47 to disengage from the retaining ring 45 and the conical groove 46.

[0041] In this embodiment, a round shaft 38 and a fixing rod 39 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 35, and the bottom of the fixing plate 23 is fixed to the top of the bracket 35.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
