Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass furnace feeding technology, specifically to a feeding device for an intermediate transition hopper in a substrate glass furnace. Background Technology

[0002] As a core supporting material for electronic devices such as flat panel displays and OLEDs, substrate glass requires extremely high precision in its production process, including high purity of raw materials and high melting stability. The furnace feeding stage is a crucial step that determines the quality of substrate glass melting and the continuity of production. The substrate glass furnace must continuously and stably receive raw materials that meet the particle size requirements and are uniformly dried. After high-temperature melting, clarification, and homogenization, qualified molten glass is formed, which is then used to produce substrate glass products with low thermal expansion coefficients, high mechanical strength, and high optical uniformity. Especially in the production of high-generation substrate glass, the stability of the feeding process directly affects product yield and performance.

[0003] Currently, the feeding system for substrate glass furnaces has the following shortcomings: Existing feeding devices mostly adopt a single storage bin structure. Material is directly fed into the storage bin via a conveyor and then directly discharged into the furnace, without intermediate transition storage components, thus failing to form an effective material buffer zone. This structure easily leads to two problems: First, when the material conveyor's feeding speed does not match the furnace's feeding speed, excessive material is easily fed at once, causing a sudden surge of material into the furnace, resulting in instability in the material pile and turbulent glass convection within the furnace. This leads to uneven melting, producing defects such as bubbles and streaks, affecting the quality of the finished substrate glass. Second, when the conveyor malfunctions or the material supply is interrupted, the material in the storage bin is quickly depleted, easily causing a furnace material shortage, leading to furnace temperature fluctuations. This not only affects the glass melting quality but may also damage the furnace lining, increasing equipment maintenance costs and failing to meet the needs of continuous substrate glass production.

[0038] Example

[0039] To address the technical problems in the background art, the following feeding device for the intermediate transition hopper of a substrate glass melting furnace is provided:

[0040] Combination Figures 1-12As shown, the present invention provides a feeding device for an intermediate transition hopper in a substrate glass melting furnace, comprising a furnace 100, a dispersing and feeding assembly 200 mounted on the top surface of the furnace 100, a feeding device 300 mounted above the dispersing and feeding assembly 200, and a material conveyor 400 mounted on one side of the furnace 100, the output end of the material conveyor 400 being connected to the input end of the feeding device 300; the feeding device 300 includes a fixed frame 301, a transition storage assembly mounted on the lower part of the fixed frame 301, the transition storage assembly being mounted above the dispersing and feeding assembly 200, a main storage assembly mounted on the upper part of the fixed frame 301, the output end of the main storage assembly being connected to the input end of the filter storage assembly, and the output end of the material conveyor 400 being connected to the input end of the main storage assembly.

A feed hole 303 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the transition chamber 302.

[0041] Through the above structure:

[0042] 1. Dispersing and feeding assembly: Installed on the top surface of the furnace, it receives the material from the transition hopper, disperses, crushes, and preheats the material, removes large particles of impurities, and achieves uniform material feeding, avoiding the material from directly entering the furnace and causing uneven melting;

[0043] 2. Feeding device: It is divided into a main storage component and a transition storage component with upper and lower layers, realizing two-level buffer storage of materials and forming a material conveying buffer zone to ensure continuous feeding and avoid problems such as excessive feeding or material interruption in a single feeding.

[0044] 3. Inclined guide plates: Symmetrically installed on the upper part of the inner cavity, they guide and divert the falling material, directing it to fall precisely into the crushing component below, preventing the material from scattering or accumulating inside the box;

[0045] 4. Dispersing component: Located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the dispersing and feeding box, it initially disperses the falling material, allowing the material to spread evenly, laying the foundation for the subsequent crushing process;

[0046] 5. Crushing component: Located below the dispersing component, it crushes the initially dispersed material, pulverizes large particles, ensures that the particle size meets the requirements for glass melting, and improves the quality of the finished glass substrate.

[0047] 6. Heated feeding component: Located below the crushing component, it preheats and dries the crushed material to remove internal moisture and prevent low-temperature material from entering the furnace, thus avoiding furnace temperature fluctuations; on the other hand, it ensures uniform material feeding and controls the material layer thickness.

[0048] 7. Stirring and smoothing component: Stirs and smooths the material in the transition chamber to prevent local accumulation and central depression, ensuring uniform material distribution and solving the problem of distorted material level switch detection.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stirring and smoothing component includes a crossbar 304 and a drive motor 305. The crossbar 304 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the transition chamber 302. The smoothing shaft 306 is rotatably connected to the middle of the crossbar 304. A conical disk 307 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the smoothing shaft 306. The conical disk 307 is located below the feed hole 303. The drive motor 305 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing frame 301. The output end of the drive motor 305 is rotatably connected to a transmission rod 308 through a worm gear and worm wheel. One end of the transmission rod 308 is rotatably connected to the smoothing shaft 306 through a worm gear and worm wheel.

[0050] The above structure, a conical disc located directly below the feed hole, evenly distributes the material falling from the center to the surrounding area during rotation, breaking the "valley-shaped" pattern of material accumulation in the middle and emptiness around the edges, allowing the material to be evenly distributed inside the transition chamber.

[0051] In this embodiment, the stirring and smoothing component further includes a connecting rod 309, an arc-shaped smoothing rod 310, and a feeding spiral blade 311. The connecting rod 309 is fixedly connected to the surface of the smoothing shaft 306, and a first scraping rod 312 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 309. The arc-shaped smoothing rods 310 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the surface of the smoothing shaft 306, and the feeding spiral blade 311 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the surface of the smoothing shaft 306.

[0052] Through the above structure, on the basis of material dispersion, the triple functions of material mixing, wall scraping and anti-sticking, and directional feeding are further realized, which optimizes the material state in the transition silo in all aspects. It not only solves the problems of material sticking to the wall and clumping, but also realizes the smooth flow of material, improves the feeding stability and material utilization rate of the transition silo, and eliminates the phenomenon of material accumulation and blockage in the silo.

[0053] In this embodiment, the valve component includes a valve box 313. The valve box 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transition chamber 302. A valve plate 314 is slidably connected inside the valve box 313. A material passage hole 315 is provided on one side of the valve plate 314. A square block 316 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the valve box 313. A hydraulic rod 317 is fixedly connected to one side of the square block 316. A bent rod 318 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 317. One end of the bent rod 318 passes through the valve box 313 and is fixedly connected to the valve plate 314.

[0054] The above structure, employing a hydraulically driven sliding valve, enables the switching on and off of material discharge from the transition chamber and flow regulation. It is adaptable to glass raw material particle feeding scenarios, allowing for both semi-open quantitative feeding and fully open rapid discharge. The operation is flexible, the response is rapid, and the feeding rhythm of upstream and downstream is guaranteed.

[0055] In this embodiment, the dispersing and feeding assembly includes a main tank 319, the main tank 319 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixing frame 301, the feeding hopper 320 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the main tank 319, a stirring and feeding component is installed in the middle of the main tank 319, and a gate component is installed at the feeding end of the main tank 319. The bottom surface of the gate component is connected to the feeding hole 303, and the gate component adopts the same structure as the valve component.

[0056] Through the above structure: the upper main storage feeding structure is constructed to realize large-scale material buffering, automatic mixing and dispersing, and controlled feeding, forming a two-level buffer feeding system with the lower transition storage components, further ensuring the continuity of feeding; through the same gate component structure, the device design is simplified, which is convenient for later operation and maintenance, while realizing accurate feeding of upper materials, ensuring that materials are smoothly transported to the transition bin, and maintaining the stable feeding rhythm of the entire device.

[0057] In this embodiment, the stirring and feeding component includes a servo motor 321. The servo motor 321 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 301. The output end of the servo motor 321 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 322 through a worm gear and worm wheel. The surface of the stirring shaft 322 is fixedly connected with barbed rods 323 at equal intervals. One end of the barbed rods 323 is fixedly connected to a second scraper rod 324.

[0058] Through the above structure, the problem of materials in the main storage component being easily compacted, clumped, and stuck to the wall is addressed. By combining power drive with multiple structures, the dual effects of strong material dispersal and anti-sticking to the inner wall are achieved. This ensures that the materials in the main tank are loose and evenly distributed, avoids clumped materials blocking the discharge port, ensures that the upper layer materials are smoothly and stably transported to the transition silo, and maintains the smooth operation of the two-stage feeding structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, the stirring and feeding component also includes an inclined bar 325 and a feeding spiral blade 326. The inclined bar 325 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the surface of the stirring shaft 322, and the feeding spiral blade 326 is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring shaft 322 and below the inclined bar 325.

[0060] Through the above structure: the bottom feeding structure of the main storage component is optimized, taking into account both the mixing and dispersing of materials at the bottom of the tank and the guiding feeding, further solving the problems of material blockage and disordered feeding at the bottom of the tank, realizing uniform and quantitative conveying of materials in the upper layer, and cooperating with the lower transition silo to smooth the feeding structure, forming a step-by-step stable feeding system, and comprehensively improving the overall feeding uniformity.

[0061] In this embodiment, the dispersing component includes a swing motor 203. The swing motor 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the dispersing feed box 201. The output end of the swing motor 203 is rotatably connected to a swing rod 204 through a worm gear and worm wheel. One end of the swing rod 204 passes through the dispersing feed box 201 and the inclined guide plate 202 in sequence and is rotatably connected to the dispersing feed box 201 and the inclined guide plate 202. A dispersing plate 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the swing rod 204 and is located between two sets of inclined guide plates 202.

[0062] Through the above structure: Dispersion plate: located between two sets of inclined guide plates, it beats and disperses the falling material during the reciprocating swing process, spreading the concentrated material evenly, avoiding the material from accumulating in the middle of the crushing component, and ensuring that the material fully enters the crushing zone;

[0063] The material after being fed into the transition chamber undergoes a secondary dispersion process to solve the problems of concentrated material falling and local accumulation. This ensures that the material is evenly distributed above the crushing components, guaranteeing the subsequent crushing process, improving the uniformity of material crushing, preventing uncrushed material from being directly fed into the furnace, and ensuring the quality of raw materials for glass melting.

[0064] In this embodiment, the crushing component includes a crushing motor 206. The crushing motor 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the dispersing feed box 201. The output end of the crushing motor 206 is fixedly connected to a crushing shaft 207. One end of the crushing shaft 207 passes through the dispersing feed box 201 and is rotatably connected to the dispersing feed box 201. A crushing roller 208 is fixedly connected to the surface of the crushing shaft 207. The crushing rollers 208 are symmetrically rotatably connected inside the dispersing feed box 201.

[0065] The above structure, through the double-roller counter-rolling crushing structure, achieves efficient crushing of materials, completely removes large particle impurities, improves the fineness and uniformity of materials, adapts to the high-precision melting requirements of substrate glass, eliminates problems such as insufficient melting and glass substrate defects caused by large particle raw materials, and improves the qualification rate of finished glass products.

[0066] In this embodiment, the heating and feeding component includes a hollow roller 209 and an air injection pipe 210. The hollow roller 209 is symmetrically and rotatably connected inside the dispersing and feeding box 201. An air inlet pipe 211 and an exhaust pipe 212 are fixedly connected to both ends of the hollow roller 209, respectively. One end of the air inlet pipe 211 and the exhaust pipe 212 respectively penetrates through the dispersing and feeding box 201 and is rotatably connected to the dispersing and feeding box 201. The top surface of the furnace 100 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the air injection pipe 210. One end of the air injection pipe 210 is connected to the air inlet pipe 211. One end of the crushing shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the exhaust pipe 212 through a sprocket set and a chain.

[0067] The above structure features: Hollow rollers: symmetrically rotated and installed with a narrow gap between the two rollers. On one hand, this restricts the flow of crushed material, allowing it to fall slowly and evenly from the roller gap, controlling the thickness of the material entering the furnace; on the other hand, the hollow structure allows heat to be introduced, achieving preheating and drying of the material; Inlet and outlet pipes: forming a heat source circulation loop, ensuring that high-temperature gas smoothly enters and exits the hollow rollers, maintaining a constant temperature in the roller body; Gas injection pipe: connected to the furnace's own high-temperature heat source, introducing the waste heat generated by the furnace operation into the hollow rollers, achieving waste heat recovery and utilization, eliminating the need for additional heating equipment, thus saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0068] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0069] I. Equipment and Material Specifications:

[0070] Capacitive level switch assemblies are installed in the transition chamber 302 and the main tank 319 respectively, and two sets are installed in each of them: one set is used to detect whether there is a shortage of material inside, and the other set is used to detect whether there is a full material inside.

[0071] The material is composed of sand, sodium carbonate, limestone, recycled glass, and additives, and is mixed evenly.

[0072] II. Operating Procedures:

[0073] The first step is to transport materials into the main tank 319 via the material conveyor 400. Since a set of capacitive level switch components is fixed in the upper part of the main tank 319, when this capacitive level switch component sends a signal and triggers an external alarm, the material conveyor 400 will stop transporting materials into the main tank 319; when a set of capacitive level switch components in the lower part of the main tank 319 sends a signal and triggers an external alarm, the material conveyor 400 needs to add materials into the main tank 319.

[0074] The second step is to start transferring the material from the main tank 319 to the transition chamber 302 when the main tank 319 is full.

[0075] During conveying, the gate component is first opened to half its opening degree. The specific operation for opening the gate component is as follows: The hydraulic rod 317 is activated. When the hydraulic rod 317 is working, it will drive the bent rod 318 and valve plate 314 to move. When the valve plate 314 moves, it will slide within the valve box 313, and simultaneously the material discharge hole 315 on the valve plate 314 will connect with the interior of the main tank 319. When the material discharge hole 315 is half-open, the hydraulic rod 317 is stopped, and the servo motor 321 is activated. The servo motor 321 drives the stirring shaft 322 and the material conveying spiral blade 326 to rotate. When the material conveying spiral blade 326 rotates at a speed of 10-15 r / min, material is added to the transition chamber 302. When the stirring shaft 322 rotates, it will also drive the barbed rod 323, the second scraping rod 324 and the oblique rod 325 to rotate. When the barbed rod 323, the second scraping rod 324 and the oblique rod 325 rotate, they not only achieve the scraping function, but also stir and disperse the material to avoid the material from clumping.

[0076] Since two sets of capacitive level switch assemblies are also installed in the transition chamber 302, when the capacitive level switch assembly at the top of the transition chamber 302 sends a signal and triggers an alarm, the addition of materials to the transition chamber 302 will be stopped; when the capacitive level switch assembly at the bottom of the transition chamber 302 sends a signal and triggers an alarm, materials need to be added to the transition chamber 302.

[0077] The fourth step is to level the material entering the transition chamber 302 to prevent the material from accumulating in a valley shape, which would cause the capacitive level switch assembly to detect inaccurately.

[0078] Specific operation: Start the drive motor 305, which drives the smoothing shaft 306 to rotate. When the smoothing shaft 306 rotates, it will drive the conical disc 307 to rotate. When the material in the main tank 319 enters the transition chamber 302, the material will fall onto the conical disc 307. At this time, the conical disc 307 is rotating, which can throw the incoming material to the inner walls of the transition chamber 302, preventing the material from accumulating in the middle of the transition chamber 302.

[0079] When the smoothing shaft 306 rotates, it will also drive the connecting rod 309, the arc-shaped smoothing rod 310, and the first scraping rod 312 to rotate respectively. When the first scraping rod 312 rotates, it will scrape the inner wall of the transition chamber 302 and push the scraped material into the interior of the transition chamber 302 to prevent the material from accumulating around the inner wall of the transition chamber 302 and causing a shortage of material in the middle. When the material flows towards the middle of the transition chamber 302, the arc-shaped smoothing rod 310 can not only stir the material, but also smooth the material to prevent the material from accumulating.

[0080] When the transition chamber 302 is full, stop adding material to the transition chamber 302 and close the gate component.

[0081] The fifth step is to transport the material in the transition chamber 302 into the furnace 100.

[0082] Specific operation: First, open the valve component. Since the valve component and the gate component have the same structure, the working principle is the same - the hydraulic rod drives the bent rod to move, which in turn drives the valve plate 314 to move, so that the material outlet 315 is connected to the transition chamber 302 (Note: the material outlet 315 must be fully opened).

[0083] When the valve component is opened, the smoothing shaft 306 rotates, which will drive the connecting rod 309, the arc-shaped smoothing rod 310, the feeding spiral blade 311 and the first scraping rod 312 to rotate. This rotation can not only stir the material, but also achieve uniform feeding, so that the material is evenly discharged into the dispersing and feeding component 200.

[0084] The sixth step is to process the material fed into the dispersing and feeding component 200 before feeding it into the furnace 100.

[0085] When the material is discharged from the valve component, the swing motor 203 drives the swing rod 204 to swing back and forth. When the swing rod 204 swings back and forth, it will drive the dispersing plate 205 to swing back and forth. When the dispersing plate 205 swings back and forth, it will pat the discharged material to both sides, so that the material is evenly dispersed in the dispersing feed box 201, and avoid the material from accumulating in the middle of the dispersing feed box 201.

[0086] When the material is dispersed in the dispersing feed box 201, it will enter between the two sets of crushing rollers 208 under the action of the two sets of inclined guide plates 202. The crushing rollers 208 are driven by the crushing motor 206. When the crushing rollers 208 rotate, they begin to crush the material to avoid leaving large particles in the material.

[0087] The crushed material falls between two sets of hollow rollers 209. These rollers, driven by the crushing roller 208, rotate. The small gap between the two sets of hollow rollers 209 acts as a barrier, ensuring the material falls evenly into the furnace 100 through the gap, spreading it evenly to a certain thickness. The high temperature generated during furnace 100 operation enters the air inlet pipe 211 through the air injection pipe 210, and ultimately enters the hollow rollers 209 through the air inlet pipe 211, heating them. The heating of the hollow rollers 209 also heats the material, achieving preheating or drying and preventing disruption to glass production.
