Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production measurement technology, specifically to a float glass production equipment and process. Background Technology

[0002] In existing float glass production processes, glass thickness and width are crucial parameters for ensuring product quality, directly impacting the uniformity and stability of the finished product. Currently, the commonly used method for measuring glass thickness is mechanical contact sensors. These sensors rely on direct contact with the glass surface to acquire accurate data. However, while this method was prevalent in the past, its limitations have become increasingly apparent with advancements in production processes, especially given the faster production lines and higher glass quality requirements. Traditional mechanical contact measurement methods are gradually failing to meet these demands. First, the working principle of mechanical contact sensors relies on physical contact, measuring thickness through close contact with the glass surface. However, during the cooling and forming process, thermal stress often causes minute protrusions, depressions, or other irregular deformations on the glass surface. This unevenness leads to significant errors in the contact sensor's measurement, particularly during the cooling stage, where even tiny surface protrusions or depressions can cause deviations in the sensor's measurement values. Furthermore, during glass transport, the continuous friction between the mechanical sensor and the glass surface can cause minor scratches, further affecting the smoothness and transparency of the finished product.

A driving gear 409 that meshes with the driven gear 410 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the crushing control motor 408. An inclined sliding groove 413 is fixed at the top of the recycling pipe 404. The lower end of the sliding groove 413 is located above the feeding trough 301.

[0025] The working principle of the float glass production equipment disclosed in this invention is as follows: the raw material is poured into the feeding trough 301, and then the feeding control motor 305 is started. The feeding control motor 305 drives the material passage 304 to rotate to a position aligned with the feeding channel 302, so that the raw material inside the feeding trough 301 enters the melting furnace 306 through the material passage 304 (multiple vibrating motors are provided on the inner wall of the feeding trough 301). The melting furnace 306 heats the glass raw material to form molten glass liquid. Molten glass flows into the float glass bath 501 through the outlet 310 (the flow rate of the molten glass at the outlet 310 can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the flow regulating cylinder 313). The molten glass spreads evenly on the surface of the molten glass inside the float glass bath 501. The temperature of the molten glass near the melting furnace 306 (molten glass inlet) is higher than that near the annealing furnace 601 (drawing end). The purpose of this is to maintain the good fluidity of the molten glass at a high temperature, so that it can spread evenly on the surface of the molten glass and avoid irregular flow or surface defects. The temperature in the middle area gradually decreases to ensure that the glass ribbon maintains a flat and stable thickness during the gradual cooling process. At the same time, the cooling rate of the molten glass is controlled to avoid thermal stress concentration. The temperature in the drawing end area is further reduced so that the glass has an appropriate cooling rate before entering the annealing furnace 601, in preparation for the subsequent annealing process. The float glass bath 501 is filled with slightly positive pressure nitrogen.

[0026] After annealing, the glass moves to the measuring assembly. The measuring assembly addresses the issue that the glass surface is not perfectly flat during cooling or production. Since the rotating measuring roller is in contact with the glass surface for measurement, if the glass surface convex, a gap exists between the lower surface of the glass and the conveyor roller 110. This results in an overestimation of the glass thickness, leading to measurement errors. The laser 109 in the measuring assembly emits light at an angle towards and through the glass, then illuminates the light sensor 108, generating a corresponding electrical signal. (The light sensor 108 typically uses a high-pixel camera sensor; the light emitted by the laser 109 generates an electrical signal at the corresponding position on the camera sensor, representing the pixel position. Since the pixel position is fixed, it can function as a ruler.) When the light enters the glass, it refracts (by controlling the extension rod of the adjusting cylinder 106, which in turn drives the adjusting arm 104 to swing, adjusting the arm...). Arm 104 drives the laser bracket 105 to swing, which in turn drives all the lasers 109 to swing, thereby adjusting the angle between the light emitted by the lasers 109 and the glass (preventing total internal reflection). The light then travels a distance inside the glass before reaching the light sensor 108. During this process, the light rays on the upper and lower sides of the glass are deflected. This deflection can be detected by the light sensor 108, and it is directly proportional to the glass thickness. The thicker the glass, the longer the propagation path of the light after refraction, resulting in a larger deflection. This measurement component enables non-contact measurement of glass thickness without considering the flatness of the glass surface, allowing for direct measurement of the glass thickness.

[0027] The glass, after its thickness has been measured, undergoes side cutting to create glass strips of equal width. An auxiliary component then measures the width of the glass. The glass sides rest against measuring rollers 202, which, via two measuring roller movable rods 203, drive a synchronizing rod 204 in linear motion. This is because the measuring sliding rod 207 is slidably mounted on the bow-shaped frame 201 via a measuring sliding rod bracket 206, ensuring a fixed movement of the synchronizing rod 204. A compression spring 205 provides a counterforce, maintaining close contact between the two measuring rollers 202 and the glass sides. A linear scale detects the displacement of the measuring sliding rod 207 relative to the measuring sliding rod bracket 206, thus measuring the width of the glass strip. The glass is then transversely cut to the desired length.

[0028] The cut glass fragments are conveyed to the recycling cylinder 401 via the feeding conveyor belt 412. The crushing control motor 408 is activated, and its output shaft drives the drive gear 409 to rotate. The drive gear 409 drives the driven gear 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the crushing blade rotating sleeve 407 to rotate. The rotation of the crushing blade rotating sleeve 407 drives all the crushing blades 406 to rotate. The crushing blades 406 break larger glass fragments into smaller pieces, which then fall to the bottom of the recycling cylinder 401 through the separating screen 405. At this time, the recycling control motor 403 is activated, and its output shaft drives the recycling screw 402 to rotate. The rotation of the recycling screw 402 conveys the glass fragments at the bottom of the recycling cylinder 401 along the recycling pipe 404 to the top of the recycling pipe 404, and then slides back down into the discharge trough 301 via the sliding groove 413, thus realizing the recycling of glass fragments.

6. A float glass production process, characterized in that: The float glass production equipment according to claim 5 comprises the following steps: S1, pouring glass raw materials into a feeding trough (301), and starting a feeding control motor (305) to allow the raw materials in the feeding trough to pass through a feeding hole (304) and enter a melting furnace (306); S2, the molten glass liquid flows into the float tin bath (501) through the liquid flow port (310); The molten glass liquid spreads on the surface of the tin liquid. The tin liquid temperature near one end of the melting furnace is higher, which ensures the fluidity of the molten glass and avoids surface defects. S3, the cooled glass enters the measuring assembly for thickness detection; the laser (109) emits light, which passes through the glass and then irradiates the light sensor (108), and the thickness of the glass is calculated by the refraction offset of the light; S4. By adjusting the swing angle of the laser, total reflection can be avoided to ensure the accuracy of measurement; the measuring component can realize non-contact glass thickness detection; S5. After the thickness is measured, the width of the side of the glass is detected by the auxiliary component. The side of the glass is pressed against the measuring roller (202), and the width of the glass strip is measured by using a grating ruler by measuring the displacement of the sliding rod (207).
