[0030] Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the glass production guiding device of the present application is schematically shown.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application discloses a glass production guide device, which includes: a guide assembly, the guide assembly includes a blowing roller 10, a blowing mechanism and a first driving mechanism are arranged in the blowing roller 10, the blowing mechanism sends air outward through the cylinder wall of the blowing roller 10 to guide the glass ribbon to turn, and the first driving mechanism can drive the blowing mechanism to swing to adjust the air supply direction of the blowing mechanism. A frame assembly, the frame assembly installs the guide assembly at the turning position of the glass ribbon.

[0032] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the present application arranges a blowing mechanism and a first driving mechanism in the blowing roller 10, so that the first driving mechanism drives the blowing mechanism to swing, so as to adjust the air supply direction of the blowing mechanism to the outside of the blowing roller 10, thereby utilizing the left and right fine-tuning wind force to overcome the deviation of the glass ribbon, and effectively solves the production problems such as poor cutting and scratches caused by the left and right deviation of the glass ribbon.

[0033] In the actual production process, the glass production guide device of the present application is installed under the vertically falling glass ribbon. Through the blowing action of the blowing mechanism, the flexible glass ribbon is blown from vertical movement to horizontal movement. Therefore, the glass production guide device of the present application can not only guide the glass ribbon to turn, but also realize non-contact horizontal guidance to avoid scratches on the glass ribbon.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the blowing mechanism includes an air nozzle 11, and the first driving mechanism includes a linear motor 12 and a connecting rod 13 connected to the linear motor 12. The connecting rod 13 is also connected to the air nozzle 11. The linear motor 12 drives the air nozzle 11 to swing through the connecting rod 13 to adjust the air supply direction of the air nozzle 11.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the air nozzle 11 is connected to an external air supply device through an air pipeline to obtain compressed gas to obtain air power. Normally, the air nozzle 11 blows air perpendicular to the glass ribbon, and the air supply direction is unbiased, which can ensure that the glass ribbon turns along the original direction of travel. When the glass ribbon deviates left or right due to unexpected reasons such as lateral cutting force, the embodiment of the present application can drive the air nozzle 11 to swing through the linear motor 12 and the connecting rod 13 to deviate the air supply direction to the left or right, thereby blowing the glass ribbon back to the normal direction, overcoming the problem of glass ribbon deviation, reducing the problems of poor cutting and collision scratches caused by the left and right deviation of the glass ribbon, and improving the quality of glass production.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the air nozzle 11 can be pivotally connected to the fixed shaft inside the blowing roller 10, and the middle of the air nozzle 11 is connected to the connecting rod 13. The linear motor 12 can drive the air nozzle 11 to swing by driving the connecting rod 13 to move horizontally, thereby realizing the positioning adjustment of the blowing direction. In some other embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism can also use a cylinder, etc., and share a set of air source with the air nozzle 11.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide assembly further includes a displacement sensor and a controller. The displacement sensor is disposed on the blowing roller 10, and the controller is electrically connected to the displacement sensor and the linear motor 12. The displacement sensor is used to detect the left-right offset of the glass ribbon. When the displacement sensor detects that the left-right offset of the glass ribbon exceeds a preset value, the controller controls the linear motor 12 to move according to the offset of the displacement sensor, so as to adjust the air nozzle 11 to the corresponding direction for blowing, thereby correcting the offset of the glass ribbon. The embodiments of the present application can realize automatic adjustment of the air supply direction by arranging a displacement sensor and a controller, thereby timely and accurately adjusting the left-right offset of the glass ribbon and improving the quality of glass production. Among them, the displacement sensor can be a reflection sensor to detect the offset of the transparent glass ribbon, and the controller is, for example, a programmable logic controller (PLC). The programmable logic controller is a controller commonly used by those skilled in the art and does not need to be described in detail here.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the air nozzles 11 of the blowing mechanism are provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of air nozzles 11 are uniformly connected to the same connecting rod 13, so that synchronous swing and consistent adjustment can be achieved, and the driving method is simple and fast, so the left and right offset adjustment effect is significantly efficient. In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the air nozzles 11 are distributed and arranged corresponding to the bait areas on both sides of the glass ribbon. The bait area is the part that will be cut off on both sides when the glass ribbon is processed, and the inner side of the bait area is the effective area of ​​the glass ribbon, that is, the part where the product is finally formed. Distributing the air nozzles 11 corresponding to the bait areas on both sides of the glass ribbon can reduce the impact on the final glass product and improve the quality of glass production.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the wall of the blowing roller 10 is distributed with an air hole area, and the width of the air hole area is greater than the width of the glass ribbon. The air hole area of ​​the wall of the blowing roller 10 is used to distribute air holes to meet the ventilation requirements of the blowing mechanism to send air outward. The width of the air hole area of ​​the blowing roller 10 is greater than the width of the glass ribbon, so that the glass ribbon can still be roughly located within the corresponding range of the air hole area after deflection, which is conducive to stably generating left and right wind force on the glass ribbon and realizing deviation correction.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, a rotatable support belt is provided on the outer surface of the blowing roller 10. The support belt rotates synchronously with the glass belt and can be used to buffer the collision between the glass belt and the blowing roller 10, thereby reducing the impact on the glass belt. In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the support belt is made of rubber material, has a soft buffering effect without damaging the glass, and is also arranged corresponding to the bait area of ​​the glass belt, thereby reducing the impact on the final glass product. The support belt can be relatively statically sleeved on the surface of the blowing roller 10 and rotate with the rotation of the blowing roller 10. The support belt can also be slidably arranged on the blowing roller 10 and driven to rotate by an external drive pulley or other structure.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame assembly includes a support rod 20 and a support seat 21. The two ends of the support seat 21 are respectively provided with bearing seat plates 22, and the bearing seat plates 22 are provided with bearings. The support seat 21 is rotatably mounted with the blowing roller 10 through the bearings, so that the blowing roller 10 can rotate. Among them, the support rod 20 is a retractable structure, so the height of the support seat 21 and the blowing roller 10 can be conveniently adjusted, thereby adjusting the horizontal steering and receiving position of the glass ribbon.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, at least one axial end of the blowing roller 10 is provided with a rotary joint 14, and the blowing mechanism is connected to an external air supply device to obtain compressed gas through the rotary joint 14. The rotary joint 14 can realize a rotary sealing connection, overcoming the problem that the air supply pipeline needs to rotate with the blowing roller 10.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the glass production guiding device further includes: a second driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism is connected to the blowing roller 10 to drive the blowing roller 10 to rotate.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the second driving mechanism includes a rotating motor, a driving wheel and a synchronous belt. The blowing roller 10 includes a synchronous wheel 15. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the driving wheel and the synchronous wheel 15. The driving wheel is installed on the output end of the rotating motor. When the rotating motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, the synchronous wheel 15 and the blowing roller 10 can be synchronously driven to rotate.

[0045] In summary, the glass production guide device of the present application includes: a guide assembly and a frame assembly, the guide assembly includes a blowing roller 10, a blowing mechanism and a first driving mechanism are arranged in the blowing roller 10, the blowing mechanism sends air outward through the cylinder wall of the blowing roller 10 to guide the glass ribbon to turn, and the first driving mechanism can drive the blowing mechanism to swing to adjust the air supply direction of the blowing mechanism; the frame assembly is used to install the guide assembly at the turning station of the glass ribbon. The present application arranges a blowing mechanism and a first driving mechanism in the blowing roller 10, so that the first driving mechanism drives the blowing mechanism to swing, to adjust the air supply direction of the blowing mechanism to the outside of the blowing roller 10, thereby using the wind force fine-tuned left and right to overcome the deviation of the glass ribbon, and effectively solves the production problems such as poor cutting and scratches caused by the left and right deviation of the glass ribbon.
