[0024] The working principle is as follows: the glass screening machine is used to remove impurities from waste glass; the waste glass and / or glass raw materials are ground into powder with a diameter of 0.5-1.5 mm; the powder is vacuum dried to remove residual moisture; the dried glass powder is transported to the kiln assembly for heating and melting; the kiln assembly includes a spiral preheating pipe 101, two rows of flame nozzle mounting pipes 102 are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the spiral preheating pipe 101, each flame nozzle mounting pipe 102 is arranged along the tangent direction of the spiral preheating pipe 101, and the rotational directions of all the flame nozzle mounting pipes 102 from the outside to the inside of the spiral preheating pipe 101 are consistent (clockwise or counterclockwise; depending on the rotational direction of the spiral preheating pipe 101); each flame nozzle mounting pipe 102 is internally provided with a gas nozzle; the melted glass is introduced into the subsequent float bath to form a flat and continuous glass ribbon.

[0025] Glass powder is poured into the hopper 124 in batches, before which the gas pipeline is connected with all the flame nozzle mounting pipes 102 (including oxygen), at this time the inside of the spiral preheating pipe 101 has gas, the gas inside the spiral preheating pipe 101 at each flame nozzle mounting pipe 102 is ignited, the flame nozzle mounting pipe 102 at one end inside the spiral preheating pipe 101 will spray fire, play a heating role (the ignition process, the fire is thrown from the hopper 124, the air blower 120 is started, the air blower 120 injects airflow into the spiral preheating pipe 101 through the air blowing pipe 121 and the mixed air pipe 122, at this time the fire will be ignited under the action of the airflow. The alcohol is selected as the fire, poured into the spiral preheating pipe 101, so that the spiral preheating pipe 101 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 123 are all coated with alcohol, the alcohol is ignited with a flame, the flame will move along the path of the alcohol adhered to the inner wall of the spiral preheating pipe 101 and the feeding pipe 123, thereby igniting the gas inside the spiral preheating pipe 101; or directly use a match, the match will be moved by the airflow to contact the gas inside the spiral preheating pipe 101, and then be ignited, the remaining match will be ejected from the 101 under the action of the airflow, it should be noted that at this time the melting work of the glass powder has not formally started, only the ignition step, so the glass powder will not be contaminated). By default, the blocking block 103 is located at the topmost position.

[0026] Glass powder entering the hopper 124 will be guided into the mixing air pipe 122 through the inlet pipe 123, and then flow into the spiral preheating pipe 101 under the action of the air flow supplied by the air blower 120, and follow the air flow in the spiral preheating pipe 101. During this process, the glass powder will be heated by the flame. When the glass powder is melted, the believed glass melt will adhere together, so that the overall weight increases and the viscosity also increases. At this time, it will be deposited (under the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force) at the bottom of the spiral preheating pipe 101 (that is, the position of the blocking block 103). With the passage of time, a layer of glass melt will be deposited at the bottom of the spiral preheating pipe 101, and the subsequent melted glass will adhere to the glass melt, or part of the glass powder will adhere to the glass melt (the glass powder that does not adhere will follow the gas to the exhaust end 111 and continue to be heated and melted, and the glass powder adhered to the glass melt will be heated and melted into the glass melt). The main heating pool 105 is also provided with a heating unit (using heating wire or flame, which needs to be heated separately from the glass melt), and the drain port 109 is provided with a valve body for adjusting the flow rate of the glass melt (which can be used to control the liquid level position of the glass melt in the main heating pool 105, the deposition pool 104, and the spiral preheating pipe 101). After the glass powder in the spiral preheating pipe 101 is heated for a certain period of time (that is, a layer of glass melt is deposited in the spiral preheating pipe 101), and the main heating pool 105 is preheated, the drain port 109 is blocked, the user uses the rope previously tied on the support column 115, and two people pull it outwards, so that the support column 115 is separated from the support beam frame 108 and the frame-shaped base 114. Under the action of the tension spring 113, the support beam frame 108 will move downward (when resetting, use the jack to lift the support beam frame 108 from the frame-shaped base 114, and then put the support column 115 back; only when starting and stopping do you need to reset, and normally you don't). The support beam frame 108 drives the support column mounting seat 107 to move, the support column mounting seat 107 drives all the connecting rod columns 106 to move, the connecting rod columns 106 drive the blocking block 103 to move, so that the blocking block 103 no longer blocks the deposition pool 104. At this time, the glass melt in the spiral preheating pipe 101 will fall into the main heating pool 105, and then accumulate in the main heating pool 105, until the liquid level height of the glass melt in the main heating pool 105 and the deposition pool 104 reenters the bottom of the spiral preheating pipe 101, then open the drain port 109, and control the opening degree of the drain port 109 to ensure that the flow rate of the glass melt and the deposition rate of the glass melt in the spiral preheating pipe 101 are consistent. The glass melt flowing out of the drain port 109 will slide down to the float bath through the sliding chute 125.At the same time, the glass powder that follows the gas flow in the spiral preheating tube 101 can be mixed with un-melted glass particles (so a longer spiral preheating tube 101 is provided to fully melt), if there are still solid glass particles, they will enter the exhaust duct 116 through the exhaust end 111, and then enter the water in the filter recovery tank 117, this part of water will filter the glass particles in the gas, and this part is high-temperature gas, the gas will also heat the water in the filter recovery tank 117, the water vapor will drive the steam turbine 119 in the waste heat recovery pipe 118 to rotate, the steam turbine 119 drives the generator set to generate electricity, thereby recovering the waste heat energy. At the same time, new water needs to be continuously supplemented into the filter recovery tank 117 (the steam sprayed at the waste heat recovery pipe 118 can be condensed and then returned to the filter recovery tank 117).
