[0057] In addition, a sealing wall 1 is arranged outside the tin bath 3 to seal the tin bath 3 to avoid the contact of the tin liquid with air.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 2-5 and Figure 8 and Figure 9, in order to make the tin plate 13 gradually close to the spindle 4 axis direction in the process of rotation, make tin plate 13 after capture large range tin ash, reduce the rotation range, reduce its to tin liquid surface interference, also set up adjustment mechanism 6, adjustment mechanism 6 is located outside the spindle 4, and located above the tin plate 13, adjustment mechanism 6 includes spoke 67, spoke 67 one end extends to the spindle 4 inside, the other end is fixedly connected with carrier 62, carrier 62 is through a plurality of column 61, the lower end of column 61 is connected with the opposite monomer plate, carrier 62 rotation can drive tin plate 13 rotation, at the same time, carrier 62 close to or away from the spindle 4 can change the range of tin plate 13 capture tin ash.
[0059] In order to realize the carrier 62 close to or away from the spindle 4, here sets up limit rail 7, limit rail 7 is located in the closed track of tin plate 13 periphery, limit rail 7 is located outside the tin plate 13, through the I-beam fixed in the ear pool 31, divided into first arc rail 71, straight rail 72, second arc rail 73, the diameter of first arc rail 71 is greater than the diameter of second arc rail 73, straight rail 72 is provided with two groups for connecting first arc rail 71 and second arc rail 73, carrier 62 in the first arc rail 71 area with the radius of first arc rail 71 rotation, through the adjustment radius of straight rail 72 to the second arc rail 73 area, and with the radius of second arc rail 73 rotation, again through the adjustment radius of straight rail 72 to the first arc rail 71 area, reciprocating, realize carrier 62 close to or away from the spindle 4, namely the change of tin plate 13 rotation range.

[0062] Preferably, one surface of monomer plate tin plate is provided with vertical raking plate, for raking more tin ash in the process of tin plate 13 gradually close to the spindle 4 axis direction.
[0063] As Figure 11 Here, six groups of tin plate 13 are taken as an example, four orientations a, b, c, d are set respectively to describe the change of tin plate 13 range.
[0064] The first process: The process of capturing large-scale solder ash is the process of removing solder plate 13 from position a to position b. Solder plate 13 first moves from position a (in...) Figure 11 From the perspective shown, a solder stripping device rotates counterclockwise above and continues to rotate in the area of the first arc-shaped rail 71 with the radius of the first arc-shaped rail 71. At this time, the lower part of all the individual boards of the solder stripping plate 13 is inserted into the molten solder, so that the solder stripping plate 13 first captures a large area of solder dust until the solder stripping plate 13 reaches position b.
[0065] The second process: The process of reducing the interference of the solder stripper 13 on the surface of the molten solder is the process of the solder stripper 13 moving from position b to position c. The solder stripper 13 continues to rotate, the straight rail 72 squeezes the carrier 62, and the spokes 67 enter the main shaft 4, so that the solder stripper 13 gradually moves closer to the axis of the main shaft 4, reducing the rotation radius of the solder stripper 13 and narrowing the rotation range (in fact, during this process, some individual boards close to the main shaft 4 will be lifted, which can also reduce the interference on the surface of the molten solder. The specific lifting will be described in detail below), reducing its interference on the surface of the molten solder until the solder stripper 13 reaches position c, at which point the reduction of the rotation range of the solder stripper 13 is completed;
[0066] The third process: The process of the solder stripper 13 maintaining the required rotation radius is the process of the solder stripper 13 moving from position c to position d. The solder stripper 13 continues to rotate into the area of the second arc-shaped rail 73, and continues to rotate in the area of the second arc-shaped rail 73 with the radius of the second arc-shaped rail 73, rotating stably with the reduced rotation range, until the solder stripper 13 reaches position d (in this process, the entire solder stripper 13 will actually be raised to prevent the solder stripper 13 from pushing the solder ash back into the mainstream solder channel, which will be explained in detail below).
[0067] The fourth process: The reset stage involves the tin stripper 13 moving from position d to position a. The tin stripper 13 continues to rotate, the straight rail 72 pulls the carrier 62, and the spokes 67 are pulled out from the main shaft 4, increasing the rotation radius of the tin stripper 13. This causes the tin stripper 13 to gradually move away from the axis of the main shaft 4 until the tin stripper 13 reaches position a. At this point, the rotation range of the tin stripper 13 is expanded, enabling the tin stripper 13 to capture a large area of tin ash in the new round of tin stripping.
[0068] Please refer to Figures 4-8 and Figure 10, in order to further reduce the contact area between the tin plate 13 and the tin liquid and reduce the interference of the tin plate 13 to the liquid surface in the above-mentioned second process (the process of gradually approaching the main shaft 4 by the tin plate 13), several single plates close to the main shaft 4 are lifted to be separated from the tin liquid surface to reduce the contact area between the tin liquid and the tin plate 13, so as to further reduce the interference of the tin plate 13 to the tin liquid surface after capturing a large range of tin ash. For this purpose, the adjusting mechanism 6 further comprises a sliding frame 64, which is arranged above the carrier frame 62 and one end of the sliding frame 64 is fixed on the main shaft 4. The sliding frame 64 from the end away from the main shaft 4 to the end close to the main shaft 4 is sequentially provided with a first flat section 641, a lifting section 642 and a second flat section 643. The first flat section 641, the lifting section 642 and the second flat section 643 are through groove structures. The end plate 65 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the stand column 61 after penetrating through the through groove. The stand column 61 can move on the sliding frame 64 in the axial direction of the main shaft 4 and in the radial direction of the main shaft 4.
[0069] It is worth noting that when the spoke 67 does not gradually approach the center of the main shaft 4, all the single plates are opposite to the first flat section 641 above them.
[0070] In the above-mentioned second process, the tin plate 13 gradually approaches the center of the main shaft 4 along with the spoke 67. The several single plates away from the main shaft 4 always move on the first flat section 641. However, the several single plates close to the center of the main shaft 4 gradually pass through the lifting section 642 and enter the second flat section 643, so that the several single plates close to the center of the main shaft 4 are lifted to be separated from the tin liquid surface and reduce the interference to the tin liquid surface (in this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 , three single plates are lifted).
[0071] Therefore, in the process of gradually approaching the main shaft 4 by the tin plate 13, the stand column 61 can slide from the through groove of the first flat section 641 to the through groove of the second flat section 643 through the lifting section 642. The second flat section 643 is higher than the first flat section 641, so that the single plates close to the main shaft 4 are lifted to be separated from the tin liquid surface.
[0072] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, six groups of tin plates 13 are arranged. The sliding frame 64 of one group of tin plates 13 is not provided with the lifting section 642, so that the single plates of this group of tin plates 13 do not have the lifting action in the above-mentioned second process, so that all the single plates of this group of tin plates 13 are on the tin liquid in the second process, which is used to scrape the tin ash that is not scraped due to the lifting of the single plates of the other five groups of tin plates 13 (because in the second process, the tin ash on the lifted single plates will remain on the tin liquid surface after the lifting of the single plates, so a group of tin plates 13 is needed to make the single plates on the tin plates not to be lifted in the second process).
[0073] Preferably, the density of the tin-scraping plate 13 is much greater than that of the tin liquid, such as tungsten steel, which has high hardness, good wear resistance, high thermal hardness and other advantages, and can maintain good performance in the high-temperature tin bath 3 environment, and the density is greater than that of the tin liquid.
[0074] As Figure 11 Here, taking six groups of tin-scraping plates 13 as an example, four orientations a, b, c, and d are described to describe the change in the lifting state of a single group of tin-scraping plates 13:
[0075] In the above first process, in the process from position a to position b, the tin-scraping plate 13 continuously rotates at the radius of the first arc-shaped rail 71 in the first arc-shaped rail 71 area, and the lower part of all the single plates of the tin-scraping plate 13 is inserted into the tin liquid, so that the tin-scraping plate 13 first captures a large range of tin ash until the tin-scraping plate 13 reaches position b.
[0076] In the above second process, in the process from position b to position c, the straight rail 72 extrudes the carrier 62, so that the tin-scraping plate 13 gradually approaches the axis direction of the main shaft 4, and the column 61 close to the main shaft 4 slides from the through groove of the first flat section 641 to the through groove of the second flat section 643 through the lifting section 642, so that the single plate close to the main shaft 4 is lifted to be separated from the surface of the tin liquid, thereby reducing the contact area between the tin liquid and the tin-scraping plate 13, and reducing the interference of the tin-scraping plate 13 on the surface of the tin liquid, until the tin-scraping plate 13 reaches position c, at which time the lifting of the single plate is completed.
[0077] In the above third process, in the process from position c to position d, the tin-scraping plate 13 continues to rotate and continuously rotates at the radius of the second arc-shaped rail 73 in the second arc-shaped rail 73 area, and the tin-scraping plate 13 continues to rotate in the lifted state until the tin-scraping plate 13 reaches position d.
[0078] In the above fourth process, in the process from position d to position a, the tin-scraping plate 13 continues to rotate, and the straight rail 72 pulls the carrier 62, thereby increasing the radius of rotation of the tin-scraping plate 13, so that the tin-scraping plate 13 gradually moves away from the axis direction of the main shaft 4, and in the process, the column 61 close to the main shaft 4 reversely slides from the through groove of the second flat section 643 to the through groove of the first flat section 641 through the lifting section 642, so that the single plate close to the main shaft 4 is lowered to be inserted into the tin liquid, so that in the next round of tin-scraping work, all the single plates of the tin-scraping plate 13 can be in contact with the tin liquid to capture a large range of tin ash.
[0079] Please refer to Figures 4-8 and Figure 10In order to make the tin scraping plate 13 separate from the tin liquid when entering the ear pool 31, avoid the tin dregs accumulated in the ear pool 31 adhering to the surface of the tin scraping plate 13 and being brought back to the tin tank 3 with the rotation of the tin scraping plate 13, the tin scraping plate 13 is lifted as a whole by lifting the spoke 67 in the third process from the position c to the position d, so that the tin scraping plate 13 separates from the ear pool 31. Specifically, an outer cylinder 8 is arranged outside the main shaft 4 and close to the lower side. The outer cylinder 8 does not rotate with the main shaft 4. The upper surface of the outer cylinder 8 is in contact with the spoke 67. The height of the outer cylinder 8 can control the height of the spoke 67.
[0080] In order to realize the lifting of the spoke 67, the upper surface of the outer cylinder 8 is provided with a first flat surface 81, an inclined surface 82 and a second flat surface 83. The second flat surface 83 is close to the side of the ear pool 31. The height of the second flat surface 83 is higher than that of the first flat surface 81 in the longitudinal direction. The inclined surface 82 is provided with two groups of connecting portions for connecting the first flat surface 81 and the second flat surface 83. When the tin scraping plate 13 approaches the ear pool 31, the spoke 67 rotates to the inclined surface 82. The inclined surface 82 lifts the spoke 67 to the second flat surface 83, so that the carrier 62 rises and pushes the tin scraping plate 13 as a whole to rise. This makes all the single plates above the ear pool 31 separate from the tin liquid and avoid rotating into the ear pool 31, so that the tin dregs accumulated in the ear pool 31 adhere to the surface of the tin scraping plate 13.
[0081] Preferably, after the tin scraping plate 13 rises as a whole, the lower surface of the tin scraping plate 13 is higher than the upper surface of the tin dregs stopper 12, so that the tin scraping plate 13 can rotate over the tin dregs stopper 12 and enter the tin scraping area again.
[0082] In order to facilitate the lifting of the spoke 67, a longitudinal sliding groove 42 matched with the spoke 67 is further arranged on the outer surface of the main shaft 4. The spoke 67 as a whole can axially displace in the main shaft 4.
[0083] In order to strengthen the stability of the spoke 67, a reinforcing frame 68 is further arranged on the sliding bracket 64. The reinforcing frame 68 can support the tin scraping plate 13 when the tin scraping plate 13 scrapes tin in the tin scraping area. The reinforcing frame 68 is provided with a sliding groove consistent with the longitudinal sliding groove 42, so as to facilitate the axial displacement of the spoke 67 as a whole.
[0084] Further, in order to facilitate the lifting of the tin scraping plate 13 as a whole by the carrier 62 and the stable arrangement of the single plates, a limiting column 66 is fixed on the upright column 61. The length and width of the limiting column 66 are greater than those of the upright column 61. The carrier 62 is provided with a second through groove 622 and a first through groove 621 matched with the upright column 61 and the limiting column 66 respectively. The first through groove 621 is below and the second through groove 622 is above. The two are connected. The cross section of the upright column 61 is square. The upright column 61 is matched with the first through groove 621 to guide the upright column 61 to stably and horizontally combine the single plates into the tin scraping plate 13 during the lifting process. The limiting column 66 is matched with the second through groove 622 to limit the lifting of the tin scraping plate 13 as a whole by the carrier 62.
[0085] In order to enable the anti-slip chute 74 to cooperate with the lifting of the carrier 62 to the tin plate 13, the anti-slip chute 74 is divided into a first arc-shaped groove 741, an inclined groove 742 and a second arc-shaped groove 743, which correspond to the first flat surface 81, the inclined surface 82 and the second flat surface 83, respectively. The first arc-shaped groove 741 is located inside the first arc-shaped rail 71, the second arc-shaped groove 743 is located inside the second arc-shaped rail 73, and the longitudinal height of the second arc-shaped groove 743 is higher than that of the first arc-shaped groove 741. The inclined groove 742 is provided with two groups, which are located at one end of the first arc-shaped rail 71 and the second arc-shaped rail 73, respectively, for connecting the second arc-shaped groove 743 and the first arc-shaped groove 741. When the carrier 62 lifts the tin plate 13, the sliding block 63 slides along the inclined groove 742, enters the second arc-shaped groove 743 from the first arc-shaped groove 741, and realizes lifting.
[0086] As Figure 11 Here, taking six groups of tin plates 13 as an example, four orientations a, b, c and d are described to describe the overall lifting state change of all single plates of a single tin plate 13:
[0087] In the above first process, in the process from position a to position b, the tin plate 13 is first at position a. When it continues to rotate, the spoke 67 slides along the inclined surface 82, and the inclined surface 82 transfers it to the first flat surface 81, so that the carrier 62 descends and pushes the overall tin plate 13 to descend, so that the lower part of all single plates rotating to the tin area is inserted into the tin liquid, and the tin plate 13 can capture tin ash. In the process, the sliding block 63 slides along the inclined groove 742 and enters the first arc-shaped groove 741 from the second arc-shaped groove 743, which can cooperate with the descent of the carrier 62. Then the tin plate 13 continues to rotate in the first arc-shaped rail 71 area with the radius of the first arc-shaped rail 71, the spoke 67 always slides on the surface of the first flat surface 81, and the sliding block 63 always slides in the first arc-shaped groove 741;
[0088] In the above second process, in the process from position b to position c, the straight rail 72 extrudes the carrier 62, so that the tin plate 13 gradually approaches the axis direction of the main shaft 4. In the process, the spoke 67 always slides on the surface of the first flat surface 81, and the sliding block 63 always slides in the first arc-shaped groove 741. At this time, the lower part of all single plates of the tin plate 13 is inserted into the tin liquid, so that the tin plate 13 can capture tin ash;
[0089] In the third process, the tin-removing plate 13 continues to rotate into the ear pool 31, the spoke 67 rotates to the inclined surface 82, the inclined surface 82 lifts the spoke 67 to the second flat surface 83, the carrier 62 is lifted, and the whole tin-removing plate 13 is pushed to rise, so that all the single plates above the ear pool 31 are separated from the tin liquid, and are prevented from rotating into the ear pool 31, so that the tin dross accumulated on the surface of the tin-removing plate 13 is brought back to the tin bath 3 with the rotation of the tin-removing plate 13, and in the process, the sliding block 63 moves along the inclined groove 742, enters the second arc-shaped groove 743 from the first arc-shaped groove 741, and can cooperate with the lifting of the carrier 62.
[0090] In the fourth process, the tin-removing plate 13 continues to rotate, and the spoke 67 stably rotates on the second flat surface 83, in the process, the tin-removing plate 13 can pass through the tin dross stopper 12 and re-enter the tin-removing area.
[0091] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 , in order to facilitate the rotation of the main shaft 4, a driving assembly 5 is further arranged, the driving assembly 5 comprises a first bevel gear 51, the first bevel gear 51 is fixedly sleeved outside the middle shaft 41, and a second bevel gear 52 is engaged with the first bevel gear 51, a second mounting bracket 11 is mounted on the upper surface of the first mounting bracket 10, the second bevel gear 52 is installed on the second mounting bracket 11 through a rotating shaft, one end of the rotating shaft is sleeved with a first gear 53 after penetrating through the second mounting bracket 11, the first gear 53 is engaged with a second gear 54, the second gear 54 is installed on the second mounting bracket 11 through a rotating shaft, a chain wheel 55 is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the chain wheel 55 is driven by a chain 56 and a pinch roll.
[0092] Specifically, the pinch roll rotates, drives the rotating shaft of the second gear 54 to rotate through the chain wheel 55 and the chain 56, the second gear 54 rotates to generate meshing force with the first gear 53 to drive the first gear 53 to rotate, and then the second bevel gear 52 rotates to drive the first bevel gear 51 to rotate, so that the middle shaft 41 rotates to drive the main shaft 4 to rotate.
[0093] In use, the glass melt floats on the surface of the tin liquid in the tin bath 3 to form a glass ribbon, the glass ribbon is edge-pulled by the pinch roll to control the size of the glass and move to the outlet end of the tin bath 3 to be lifted by the lifting roller 2, so that the glass ribbon is not in contact with the tin liquid before reaching the area between the two ear pools 31 to form a tin-removing area, the tin dross generated by the reaction of the tin liquid in the tin bath 3 floats on the surface of the tin liquid, moves to the tin-removing area with the glass ribbon, the tin-removing device in the tin-removing area pushes the tin dross moving to the tin-removing area into the ear pool 31, and then enters the tin dross collecting box 32 along the flow guide angle formed between the tin dross stopper 12 and the tin dross collecting box 32 to realize the removal and collection of the tin dross.

Step 2: In the tin bath (3), the glass melt floats on the surface of the molten tin to form a glass strip. The glass strip is pulled by the edge-pulling roller to achieve the target size and moves to the outlet end of the tin bath (3) to the lifting roller (2) to be lifted by the lifting roller (2). This ensures that the glass strip does not come into contact with the molten tin before reaching the area between the two ear pools (31), forming a tin stripping area.
