[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] The rotational connection described in this device refers to the process of baking the bearing on the shaft, providing a spring retaining ring groove on the shaft or the shaft hole, and clamping the elastic retaining ring in the retaining ring groove to achieve axial fixation of the bearing and realize rotation; the articulation refers to a connection method that is achieved by performing activities on connecting parts such as hinges, pins and short shafts.

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-3This embodiment describes an annealing furnace for beer bottle production, comprising: a hollow disc 1, which is rotatably connected to a base 2. Only two sides of the upper surface of the hollow disc 1 are blocked by the base 2. The base 2 is an unclosed annular base. A power mechanism 3 is provided at the notch of the base 2. The power mechanism 3 can provide power for the hollow disc 1. A heating furnace 4 and a cooling furnace 5 are connected to the upper portion of the hollow disc 1. Both the heating furnace 4 and the cooling furnace 5 are provided with heating elements. The heating elements in the cooling furnace 5 are arranged at a density that gradually decreases along the rotation direction of the hollow disc 1. A guide plate 6 is connected to the outlet of the cooling furnace 5, and the guide plate 6 is tilted to point toward the outside of the hollow disc 1.

[0021] During annealing, the power mechanism 3 and the heating element are turned on, and the beer bottle is placed on the hollow disc 1 at the notch of the base 2. The power mechanism 3 drives the hollow disc 1 to rotate, and the hollow disc 1 sends the beer bottle into the heating furnace 4. The heating element heats the beer bottle and then enters the cooling furnace 5. Since the density of the heating elements in the cooling furnace 5 along the rotation direction of the hollow disc 1 gradually decreases, the temperature of the heated beer bottle gradually decreases. The glass bottle after annealing is discharged along the guide plate 6. With the guide plate 6 blocking it, the temperature in the cooling furnace 5 will not affect the people at the notch.

[0022] The power mechanism 3 includes an input shaft 31, which is rotatably connected to a bearing bracket 32. The bearing bracket 32 ​​is connected to the notch of the base 2. The end of the input shaft 31 is connected to a bevel gear 33, which is meshed with a bevel gear ring 34. The bevel gear ring 34 is connected to the lower surface of the hollow disc 1.

[0023] The power drives the input shaft 31 to rotate, the input shaft 31 drives the bevel gear 33 to rotate, and the bevel gear 33 drives the hollow disc 1 to rotate through the bevel gear ring 34.

[0024] The top wall of the cooling furnace 5 is evenly distributed with air inlets 7, which are inclined in the opposite direction of the rotation of the hollow disc 1. The air inlets 7 are connected to the air inlet cover 8, which is connected to the top wall of the heating furnace 4. The air inlet cover 8 is connected to the fan through the air duct 9;

[0025] After the machine is shut down, the fan is turned on and enters the air inlet 7 through the air duct 9 and the air inlet cover 8. Since the air inlet 7 is tilted in the opposite direction of the rotation of the hollow disk 1, the external air is obliquely injected into the cooling furnace 5, and then flows from the cooling furnace 5 to the heating furnace 4 to take away the residual heat. Since the temperature of the cooling furnace 5 is lower than that of the heating furnace 4, the external air flows into the cooling furnace 5 and is heated by the residual heat before entering the heating furnace 4, preventing the heating furnace 4 from being suddenly cooled and affecting the quality of the heating furnace 4, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the annealing furnace.

[0026] An air hole 10 is provided on the side wall of the outlet end of the cooling furnace 5. No heating element is provided in the cooling furnace 5 in the area of ​​the air hole 10.

[0027] The air holes 10 are added to provide a buffer for the beer bottles from the furnace to the outlet to prevent the glass bottles from bursting.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply the existence of any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the element.
