Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass tubes, in particular to a cooling device for glass tube molding. Background Art

[0002] At the beginning of glass production, the raw materials need to be melted so that they can be formed into the desired shape in the subsequent processing. Generally speaking, the temperature required for melting the raw materials is required to be above 1300℃, so that the raw materials can be fully melted and form the basic structure of the glass.

[0003] Traditionally, when manufacturing glass tubes, the transportation line is often lengthened to allow the glass tubes to cool naturally. However, the molten glass tubes easily absorb debris, resulting in impurities in the final product. This method also causes the transportation line to be stretched longer, taking up more space and easily causing injuries to workers. This method is also greatly affected by the external environment and the cooling mode cannot be adjusted according to demand.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a cooling device for glass tube forming to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a cooling device for glass tube forming, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems of being unable to cool in multiple modes, having low safety and being easy to absorb impurities.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a cooling device for glass tube forming, comprising a first shell, a second shell is provided on one side of the first shell, a first cover is hinged on the top of the first shell, a second cover is hinged on the top of the second shell, a first channel, a second channel and a third channel are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the first shell, a first guide tube, a second guide tube and a third guide tube corresponding to the first channel, the second channel and the third channel are fixedly installed on the side surface of the first shell away from the second shell, a plurality of evenly distributed first spiral tubes are fixedly installed inside the first channel, a plurality of evenly distributed second spiral tubes are fixedly installed inside the second channel, a plurality of evenly distributed third spiral tubes are fixedly installed inside the third channel, and a plurality of water inlets are fixedly installed on the outer surface of one side of the first shell.

[0008] Preferably, a groove body is formed at the bottom of each of the first channel, the second channel and the third channel, and a plurality of evenly distributed first transmission wheels are rotatably mounted inside the groove body.

[0009] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the second shell, a plurality of evenly distributed fans are fixedly mounted on a side of the second shell away from the filter plate, and a plurality of second transmission wheels corresponding to the first transmission wheels are mounted inside the second shell via a mounting frame.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of matching channels corresponding to the first channel, the second channel and the third channel are formed on the lower surface of the first cover body.

[0011] Preferably, a second handle is fixedly mounted on one side of the second cover body, and a first handle is fixedly mounted on one side of the first shell body.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of supporting feet are fixedly mounted on the lower surfaces of the first shell and the second shell.

[0013] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model:

[0014] 1. By setting the first shell and the second shell, the device can be used in different cooling modes. Water cooling is used as the first cooling mode to cool the glass tube quickly. The glass tube produced in this mode will make the glass have a higher hardness, but may cause its stretchability to be poor. If the cooling device is turned off, the room temperature liquid circulates inside the first shell, and the fan is used to slowly cool the glass tube. Slow cooling is conducive to forming better connectivity in the structure of the glass, but the hardness will be reduced. The cooling mode can be changed according to actual needs;

After confirmation, proceed with processing to prevent the molten glass tube from being contaminated by debris in the air. It is also convenient to clean and repair the inside of the device, making it more convenient to use without affecting the workers and ensuring processing safety.

[0016] 3. By arranging the first spiral tube, the second spiral tube, and the third spiral tube, the device can cool a plurality of glass tubes of the same or different specifications at the same time. If it is used to cool a plurality of glass tubes of different specifications, the cooling device can be controlled to adjust the output liquid temperature, so that the cooling efficiency of the device is higher and the device occupies a smaller area.

A motor for rotating the second transmission wheel 51 is fixedly installed inside the second shell 2, which is not shown in the figure, and the motor can be a common motor on the market, which will not be described here.

[0027] Glass tubes are often made by first mixing the raw materials, melting them, and then rolling them. The rolling method is to extrude the heated and softened glass rods into glass tubes by rollers, and the extruded high-temperature glass tubes are guided along the first guide tube 4, the second guide tube 41, and the third guide tube 42 into the corresponding first channel 12, the second channel 121, and the third channel 122, and then the first transmission wheel 5 and the second transmission wheel 51 drive them, and after being fully cooled inside the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, they are transported to the outside of the second shell 2, and then transported to the next process.
