Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass thickness monitoring technology, specifically a thickness monitoring system for float glass production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, thickness monitoring systems in float glass production lines primarily rely on fixed-angle single-beam laser or ultrasonic ranging devices. These are typically positioned above the glass surface, with single, immovable monitoring points, failing to meet the demand for comprehensive, wide-area glass coverage inspection. During glass movement, existing systems struggle to dynamically track thickness changes at multiple locations in real time, creating blind spots. Furthermore, existing systems generally lack angle stability adjustment structures, making the beam angle susceptible to vibration interference and inaccuracies. Simultaneously, the photosensitive receiver generates thermal noise signals during prolonged operation, leading to decreased measurement accuracy. Additionally, if internal components such as rollers and bearings within the detection device age or fail, abnormal vibrations may occur during operation; however, traditional equipment lacks the ability to recognize these vibrations, easily resulting in misinterpretations of measurement results. In summary, existing monitoring equipment generally suffers from low accuracy, limited detection area, unstable operation, poor heat dissipation, and weak fault warning capabilities.

[0022] This invention provides a thickness monitoring system for float glass production, including a conveyor roller for supporting the horizontal movement of the glass.

The first light emitters 129 and second light emitters 130 emit two parallel beams of light. The first photosensitive element 124 is used to receive and monitor the light emitted by the first light emitters 129 and second light emitters 130. Two horizontal and parallel sliding guide rods 102 are fixedly mounted on the crossbeam plate 101.

An electric cylinder 126 is movably mounted on a flat mounting plate 125. A swing arm 127 is fixedly mounted at the movable connection between the first light emitter 129, the second light emitter 130 and the light emitter bracket 128 via a rotating shaft (where the light emitter bracket 128 is fixedly fitted with the flat mounting plate 125, and the light emitter bracket 128 is movably fitted with the first light emitter 129 and the second light emitter 130), so that the swing arm 127 moves synchronously with the first light emitter 129 and the second light emitter 130. The end of the swing arm 127 away from the second light emitter 130 is movably connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 126. A light-shielding tube 134 is also fixedly installed on the flat mounting plate 125.

A heat sink 132 for the second photosensitive element is fixedly installed at the top of the outer surface of the light-shielding tube 134, which is aligned with the position of the second photosensitive element 133.The second photosensitive element 133 is located below the outside of the light-shielding tube 134 and has an inclined reflective mirror 135.

The beam splitter 131 forms a 45-degree angle with the light emitted by the first light emitter 129. The beam splitter 131 is used to split the light emitted by the first light emitter 129 into two beams. One beam passes through the beam splitter 131 and illuminates the glass surface to be monitored. The other beam is reflected by the beam splitter 131 onto the reflective mirror 135.

The tension pulley 116 is used to tension the transmission belt 115. A tensioning rubber strip 119 is elastically connected between the tension pulley bracket 118 and one end of the top edge of the drive pressure frame 110.

A rectangular through hole is provided in the middle of the base plate 106. An ND filter 107 is fixedly installed in the rectangular through hole in a way that is easy to disassemble. A protective cover 108 is fixedly installed on the base plate 106 in a way that is easy to disassemble. The side of the protective cover 108 facing the crossbeam plate 101 is open to facilitate the heat dissipation of the condenser heat sink 121 and the second photosensitive element heat sink 132.

[0024] The working principle of the thickness monitoring system for float glass production disclosed in this invention is as follows: Glass coming off the production line is transported by conveyor rollers, and a crossbeam plate 101 is installed on the glass. The movement of the glass will cause relative movement with the protective cover 108, which is used to monitor the thickness of the glass at different positions in the length direction. To monitor the thickness at different positions in the width direction of the glass, the drive motor 117 needs to be started. The output shaft of the drive motor 117 drives the roller 112 to rotate through the transmission belt 115. The rotation of the roller 112 will roll on the drive friction strip 103, thereby causing the drive pressure frame 110, the reinforcing frame 105, and the reinforcing frame 105 to slide on the sliding guide rod 102. The sliding guide rod 102 is equipped with adjustable limit switches at both ends to control the rotation direction of the output shaft of the drive motor 117, so that the entire protective cover 108 reciprocates linearly on the sliding guide rod 102 (the higher the frequency of reciprocating motion, the greater the monitoring density; generally, a Z-shaped monitoring is sufficient).

[0025] The monitoring process involves emitting a beam of light angled towards the upper surface of the glass using a second light emitter 130 and a first light emitter 129, allowing both beams to illuminate and pass through the glass. The light emitted by the first light emitter 129 is split into two beams by a beam splitter 131. One beam illuminates the monitored glass surface and is then reflected by the glass surface to the first photosensitive element 124, where it is received. This process is used to determine the distance between the upper surface of the glass and the lower surface of the ND filter 107 (or other components; since the relative positions are fixed, the ND filter 107 is used as a reference). Specifically, if the upper surface of the glass moves upward (due to convex deformation or changes in thickness), the reflection point of the light emitted by the first light emitter 129 on the upper surface of the glass will change, thus causing a change in the position of the light spot received on the first photosensitive element 124 (since the distance between each pixel on the first photosensitive element 124 is fixed, this can be determined by monitoring the light spot at the corresponding pixel position). The light reflected by the beam splitter 131 is reflected by the reflector 135 and then shines on the second photosensitive element 133. As the equipment operates, the bearings inside some rotating parts (bearings are installed in all rotating parts) may be damaged, such as the bearing balls falling off. This will cause the protective cover 108 to vibrate during movement. Due to the weight of the reflector 135 itself, the reflector 135 will swing on the swing spring 136. This will cause the light spot received by the second photosensitive element 133 to swing. At this time, the specific situation of the fault can be determined by the change frequency of the light signal received by the position of the pixel on the second photosensitive element 133 (the cause of the fault can be roughly predicted by the vibration state). At the end position of the reciprocating motion of the protective cover 108, the reflector 135 will also swing due to the acceleration. However, the frequency of this swing is different from the frequency when the fault occurs. Therefore, the frequency of the swing of the reflector 135 at the corresponding movement speed of the protective cover 108 is filtered out. Since the whole system is in motion, the second light emitter 130 and the first light emitter 129 are set to have adjustable angles on the light emitter bracket 128. An angular displacement sensor is set at the connection between the light emitter bracket 128 and the second light emitter 130 and the first light emitter 129 to monitor the angle information of the first light emitter 129 and the second light emitter 130 on the light emitter bracket 128. The electric cylinder 126 is used to adjust the angle so that it remains constant (the electric cylinder 126 does not work under normal operating conditions, and the extension rod of the electric cylinder 126 has a self-locking function).

[0026] The light emitted by the second light emitter 130 directly illuminates the upper surface of the glass. After reflection from the upper surface of the second light emitter 130, the reflected light illuminates the first photosensitive element 124, forming a light spot on the first photosensitive element 124. Simultaneously, the light emitted by the second light emitter 130 enters the interior of the glass and is refracted inside the glass. When the refracted light exits from the interior of the glass downwards, it is reflected inside the glass. The reflected light then passes through the upper surface of the glass from the interior of the glass and is refracted again before illuminating the first photosensitive element 124, forming a light spot on the first photosensitive element 124. At this point, two light spots corresponding to those emitted by the second light emitter 130 are formed on the first photosensitive element 124. The distance between the two light spots is determined by the distance between the pixels, and the thickness of the glass can be calculated through geometric operations. The first photosensitive element 124 generates thermal noise during prolonged operation, thus requiring cooling. A heat-absorbing sheet 123 is installed on the back of the first photosensitive element 124. The heat-absorbing sheet 123 absorbs the heat from the first photosensitive element 124 and transfers it to the electronic fluorinated liquid inside the heat-absorbing chamber 122, causing the fluorinated liquid to evaporate. The evaporated electronic fluorinated liquid condenses on the condensing heat sink 121 and falls back into the heat-absorbing chamber 122 under gravity (the condensing heat sink 121, evaporation chamber 120, and heat-absorbing chamber 122 are set under negative pressure). To improve heat dissipation efficiency, a convection fan can be added to the condensing heat sink 121 to increase airflow speed. The protective cover 108 has many gaps, and its movement causes relative movement between the air and the condensing heat sink 121 (or through holes can be opened on the surface of the protective cover 108).
