Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass melt defoaming technology, and more particularly to a glass melt defoaming system for glass melting furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] During the glass melting process, bubbles often form in the molten glass. If these bubbles are not eliminated promptly and effectively, they can affect the quality of the glass products, leading to defects such as surface blemishes and internal bubbles, and reducing the glass's transparency and strength. Currently, the most common method for defoaming molten glass in glass melting furnaces is by adding defoaming agents. These agents work in the molten glass to break the surface tension of the bubbles, causing them to burst.
[0003] However, existing defoaming methods have some problems. First, the addition of defoamer is often not precise enough, making it difficult to dynamically adjust the dosage according to the real-time situation of bubbles in the molten glass, which can easily lead to waste of defoamer or poor defoaming effect. Second, the defoaming process lacks effective monitoring methods, making it impossible to understand the defoaming effect in a timely and accurate manner so as to make timely adjustments and optimizations. Third, the operation of the entire defoaming system is relatively complex, the preparation work is cumbersome, and there are certain safety hazards during equipment assembly and operation, such as leakage at equipment connections and loose component fixing, which may lead to equipment damage or affect the defoaming effect, thus affecting the stability and reliability of the defoaming system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Given that the addition of defoamers in the existing technology is often not precise enough, it is difficult to dynamically adjust the dosage according to the real-time situation of bubbles in the glass melt, and the defoaming process lacks effective monitoring methods, making it impossible to understand the defoaming effect in a timely and accurate manner. In addition, the operation of the entire defoaming system is relatively complex, the preparation work is cumbersome, and there are certain safety hazards during equipment assembly and operation, this invention is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a defoaming system for glass melting furnaces. The aim is to achieve this through detailed process design, where each stage—from preparation and equipment assembly / debugging to defoaming effect evaluation—is closely interconnected and mutually supportive. During the preparation stage, the defoaming equipment is inspected and pre-data is recorded to ensure it is in good operating condition, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent defoaming work. During the assembly of the pump equipment, attention is paid to details such as the secure fixing of the suction pipe and preventing equipment drops, ensuring that the defoaming liquid is stably and uniformly extracted and transported. Simultaneously, by adjusting flow rate tests and checking the unobstructed flow of each path, the injection flow rate of the defoaming agent can be precisely controlled to match the bubble situation in the glass melt, thereby achieving precise defoaming, improving the stability and reliability of the defoaming effect, effectively reducing bubble defects in glass products, and improving product quality.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. This invention employs a detailed process design, with each step closely linked and coordinated from preparation to equipment assembly, debugging, and defoaming effect evaluation. During the preparation phase, the defoaming equipment is inspected and pre-data is recorded to ensure it is in good operating condition, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent defoaming work. During the assembly of the pump equipment, attention is paid to details such as the secure fixing of the suction tube and preventing equipment drops, ensuring that the defoaming liquid is stably and evenly extracted and transported.

[0035] 1. Preparation module:
[0036] Form Inspection and Pre-data Recording: Operators conduct a detailed inspection of the defoaming equipment list and parameter table, defoaming liquid composition and ratio table, glass melting furnace process parameter table, defoaming history record and effect evaluation table, etc., to ensure that the table contents are complete and accurate. Record equipment and process parameters, including detailed information such as the name, model, specifications, quantity, installation location, and maintenance records of the defoaming equipment; data such as the chemical composition, physical properties, preparation date, expiration date, and usage of the defoaming liquid; and real-time monitoring values and historical trend data of process parameters such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, and bubble concentration of the glass melting furnace.
[0037] Defoaming equipment inspection: A comprehensive inspection of equipment components such as the storage tank, transfer pump, pipelines, filters, pressure gauges, and flow meters is conducted to ensure no damage, tight connections, and normal operation. The storage tank is made of a special alloy material that is corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and wear-resistant. The inner wall is coated with an antistatic and chemical corrosion-resistant protective coating, enabling long-term stable storage of defoaming liquid. Its capacity can be customized according to the production scale of the glass melting furnace. The transfer pump is a variable frequency speed-regulating plunger pump or gear pump, possessing high flow rate, high head, and low pulsation delivery performance. The speed can be precisely adjusted via an external control signal to achieve quantitative delivery of the defoaming liquid.
[0038] Preparation of defoaming liquid: Prepare two 200L containers of defoaming liquid. Its composition can effectively break the surface tension of bubbles in the molten glass without changing other properties of the molten glass. The defoaming liquid has specific chemical composition and physical properties, which can adapt to the high-temperature environment inside the glass melting furnace, and does not affect the transparency, strength, or other properties of the molten glass.
[0039] 2. Liquid pump assembly module:
[0040] Pump assembly: Assemble all components of the pump assembly according to design requirements, ensuring accurate positioning and secure connections. The pump assembly utilizes a Sturdy metal frame structure, capable of withstanding the weight of the pump and vibrations during operation. The surface is treated with anti-corrosion coating to extend the equipment's service life.
[0041] To prevent falls: During assembly, safety guardrails and anti-slip mats are installed, along with anti-slip fixing measures and automatic locking mechanisms, to prevent damage from falls during assembly, transportation, and use of the pump equipment. The safety guardrails are at least 1.2 meters high and can effectively prevent accidental falls of operators and equipment parts.
[0042] Atomization / Air Supply Assembly and Adjustment: Assemble the atomization and air supply devices and adjust them according to the process requirements of the glass melting furnace to ensure good atomization effect and appropriate air supply volume. The atomization device uses high-precision nozzles that can uniformly atomize the defoaming liquid into tiny droplets, improving the defoaming effect. The air supply device is equipped with an adjustable airflow control valve, which can adjust the airflow according to actual conditions.
[0043] Straw Fixation Check: Secure the straw to the pump stand and check that the straw connections are sealed and securely fastened to prevent liquid leakage or air ingress. The straw is made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant material with a smooth inner wall to ensure smooth delivery of the defoaming liquid.
[0044] 3. Water jacket / spray gun mounting module:
[0045] Connect the water jacket to the cooling water system and place it in the observation port: Connect the water jacket to the cooling water system, ensuring smooth and unobstructed water flow within the jacket. Place the water jacket in the observation port of the glass melting furnace, ensuring a good seal between the jacket and the port. The water jacket is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, possessing excellent thermal conductivity, effectively reducing the impact of high temperatures within the glass melting furnace on the spray gun.
[0046] Checking for leaks / water not being turned on: High-precision pressure and temperature sensors are used to monitor the sealing performance and water flow status of the water jacket in real time. Once a leak or lack of water is detected, an alarm is immediately triggered and an emergency protection mechanism is automatically activated to prevent defoaming failure and production accidents caused by water jacket malfunction. The pressure sensor accuracy is ±0.5%, and the temperature sensor accuracy is ±1℃.
[0047] Place the adjusted spray gun into the water jacket: Place the adjusted spray gun into the water jacket, aligning the nozzle with the surface of the molten glass to ensure the defoaming liquid is sprayed evenly onto the molten glass. The spray gun nozzle features a specially designed spiral structure, which enables the defoaming liquid to form a uniform atomization effect, covering a larger defoaming area.
[0048] Seal the observation opening with refractory cotton: Use high-temperature resistant, wear-resistant, and heat-insulating aluminosilicate refractory cotton to seal the area around the observation opening to prevent heat loss and the entry of external objects. The density of the refractory cotton is 120 kg / m³. 3 It has a refractory temperature of not less than 1200℃ and can effectively withstand the high-temperature environment inside the glass melting furnace.
[0049] 4. Flow adjustment and monitoring module:
[0050] Flow rate adjustment test: Based on real-time parameters of the molten glass in the glass melting furnace, such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, and bubble concentration, the intelligent control system automatically adjusts the speed of the pump and the valve opening to achieve dynamic and precise control of the defoaming liquid flow rate. The flow rate can be adjusted according to the formula Q = Q o ×(1±ΔQ%), where Q is the adjusted flow rate, Q o The initial flow rate is set, and ΔQ% represents the flow rate adjustment accuracy range, with a control precision of ±5%. Simultaneously, this unit also features a flow rate feedback mechanism, capable of rapid correction based on real-time monitored flow rate data, ensuring flow rate stability. Furthermore, the flow rate adjustment range can be flexibly set according to the specifications of the glass melting furnace and production needs to meet the defoaming requirements of glass production at different scales.
[0051] Check for blockages in all pipelines: Pressure and flow sensors installed on the pipelines monitor changes in flow and pressure in each pipeline in real time to determine if the pipelines are unobstructed. If a blockage is detected, an alarm is triggered and measures are taken to clear the blockage. The pipelines use seamless stainless steel or PEEK pipes, which have good pressure resistance, sealing properties, and chemical stability, ensuring a stable delivery of the defoaming liquid.
[0052] 5. Foam and temperature monitoring module:
[0053] Observing foam changes in the glass melting furnace: Utilizing a high-resolution camera, infrared thermal imager, and foam feature recognition algorithm, the system captures real-time microscopic morphological changes in the size, quantity, and distribution of foam within the furnace, converting these changes into digital image data which is then transmitted to the data recording and evaluation module. Simultaneously, this unit can analyze the rate of foam change to predict defoaming trends. The rate of foam change can be expressed by the formula V = (V1 - V0) / t, where V is the rate of foam change, V1 is the current foam volume, V0 is the initial foam volume, and t is the time interval. Operators can adjust the flow rate of the defoaming liquid and the position of the spray gun based on the foam change rate to ensure effective defoaming.
[0054] Temperature monitoring: Distributed fiber optic temperature sensors are installed along the inner wall and key areas of the glass melting furnace to achieve comprehensive, high-precision monitoring of the temperature field, with an accuracy of ±3℃. Furthermore, the temperature monitoring unit also features an abnormal temperature warning function. When the temperature exceeds the preset safety range (e.g., exceeding 1200℃ or falling below 1000℃), an alarm is promptly issued to remind operators to take appropriate measures to ensure the safe operation of the glass melting furnace. Operators can adjust the heating power or cooling system operating parameters of the glass melting furnace in a timely manner according to temperature changes to maintain a stable temperature for the molten glass.
[0055] 6. Data Recording and Evaluation Module:
[0056] Data logging: Record various data during the defoaming process, such as tabular data, flow rate data, foam image data, and temperature data, to provide data support for subsequent analysis and evaluation. Data logging uses spreadsheet or database format, and the recording frequency can be set according to actual needs to ensure data completeness and accuracy.
[0057] Defoaming Effect Evaluation: Based on machine learning algorithms and big data analytics, a defoaming effect evaluation model is constructed by fusing and analyzing recorded multi-source heterogeneous data. This model can automatically identify anomalies in the defoaming process, predict defoaming trends, and generate detailed evaluation reports. This provides operators with intuitive and accurate decision-making support, enabling intelligent management and optimization of the defoaming process. The evaluation report includes multiple specific indicators such as bubble elimination rate, glass melt transparency improvement rate, surface defect reduction rate, product qualification rate improvement, defoaming liquid consumption, and defoaming time. Operators can adjust defoaming process parameters and optimize the defoaming system in a timely manner based on the evaluation results.
[0058] Inter-module information exchange:
[0059] The preparation module and the liquid pump assembly module establish a data transmission connection through a wireless communication network or a wired data bus. The equipment status data obtained by the defoaming equipment inspection unit and the process parameter data recorded by the pre-data recording unit can be transmitted to the liquid pump assembly module in real time. This guides the assembly and debugging of various units such as the pump assembly unit, the atomization / air supply assembly and adjustment unit, and ensures that the assembly accuracy and performance of the liquid pump equipment meet the defoaming process requirements.
[0060] There is information exchange between the water jacket / spray gun installation module and the foam and temperature monitoring module. The detection results of the water jacket leak / water not turned on unit and the operation status of the unit with the observation port blocked with fire-resistant cotton are fed back to the foam and temperature monitoring module. The foam and temperature monitoring module automatically adjusts the monitoring strategy and parameters based on this information. For example, when water jacket leakage is detected, foam and temperature monitoring of the corresponding area is strengthened to improve the system's fault diagnosis capability and emergency response speed.
[0061] During use, all modules work together to ensure the defoaming system operates efficiently and stably, effectively eliminating bubbles in the molten glass, improving the quality of glass products, and reducing production costs. Operators can adjust and optimize the parameters of each module according to actual conditions to adapt to different production needs and working conditions. At the same time, the bubble defect rate of glass products is significantly reduced, the product qualification rate is greatly improved, and the economic benefits are significant.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
