Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of float glass production technology, specifically to an automatic adjustment device for float glass edge guards. Background Technology
[0002] Float glass has a wide range of applications and can be categorized into tinted glass, float silver mirrors, float glass for automotive windshields, float glass for various deep processing applications, float glass for scanners, float glass for coating, and float glass for mirror making. Among these, ultra-clear float glass has a wide range of uses and a broad market prospect, primarily used in high-end architecture, high-end glass processing, solar photovoltaic curtain walls, as well as high-end glass furniture, decorative glass, imitation crystal products, lighting glass, precision electronics, and special buildings.
[0003] In the float glass production process, ensuring the stable and precise shaping of the glass ribbon in the tin bath is crucial. Traditional edge-stop adjustment methods mostly rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also fails to meet high-precision positioning requirements, and poses certain safety hazards when operating in high-temperature environments. Furthermore, due to the natural shrinkage of the glass ribbon during cooling and solidification, as well as process fluctuations, the glass edges are prone to deviating from the predetermined trajectory, affecting product quality and the accuracy of subsequent processing. Therefore, developing a device capable of automatically and precisely adjusting the edge-stop position is of great significance for improving the automation level of float glass production lines and product quality.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-2 This application provides a new technical solution: an automatic adjustment device for float glass edge guards, including a tin bath, an edge guard, and an adjustment mechanism;
[0024] The edge guard is positioned at appropriate locations on both sides of the molten tin surface in the tin bath to limit the movement of the glass inside the tin bath and prevent the glass strip from swinging or deviating. The edge guard is made of graphite, which does not stick to the glass strip at high temperatures and does not wet the molten tin. When it comes into contact with the edge of the glass strip, the edge guard is driven by the glass plate and can rotate flexibly to avoid generating shear stress at the edge of the glass strip. The adjustment mechanism is located on both sides outside the tin bath and is used to adjust the edge guard.
[0025] The adjustment mechanism includes at least a lead screw 4, on which a sliding block 5 is connected. The lead screw 4 is driven to rotate by a drive assembly, which drives the sliding block 5 to move along the lead screw 4 in two degrees of freedom in the horizontal direction.
[0026] The adjustment mechanism is fixedly installed on both sides of the tin bath by a fixing component, and the adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the edge guard.
[0027] Specifically, by driving the lead screw 4 to rotate through the drive component, the sliding block 5 on the lead screw 4 moves along two degrees of freedom in the horizontal direction, which can also drive the edge stop to move inside the solder bath, thus achieving the purpose of automatic adjustment.
[0028] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a motor 1, a reducer 2, and a control box 3. The motor 1 and the reducer 2 are connected to provide a power source for the lead screw 4. The control box is equipped with at least a set of air switches, a pair of reversible and interlocking contactors, three relays, three push-button switches for forward, reverse, and emergency stop, a power indicator light, a set of wiring terminals, etc., for controlling the operation of the adjustment device.
[0029] Specifically, a conduit 11 is provided on the top of the control box 3. The signal control line and the power line are connected to the inside of the control box 3 through the conduit 11 to avoid the lines being too complicated and affecting the use.
[0030] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly includes a first support frame 8, a steel wire rope 10, and a connecting block 12. The first support frame 8 is fixedly installed on the outside of the solder bath, and the lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the first support frame 8. The connecting block 12 is fixedly installed above the outside of the solder bath, and the connecting block 12 is located above the first support frame 8. There are two connecting blocks 12, and the two connecting blocks 12 are connected to the side of the first support frame 8 away from the solder bath by the steel wire rope 10. The first support frame 8, the steel wire rope 10, and the connecting block 12 are arranged in a triangular orientation, which can improve the stability of the device and ensure the smooth movement of the adjustment mechanism.
[0031] In some embodiments, two sets of slide rods 9 are fixedly installed on the first support frame 8. The slide rods 9 are located above the lead screw 4. A pulley group 6 is slidably connected to the slide rods 9. The pulley group 6 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 5 below. The pulley group 6 can be driven to slide on the slide rods 9 by the sliding block 5.
[0032] Specifically, the slide bar 9 is provided with a scale on its side for measuring the movement distance of the sliding block 5.
[0033] In some embodiments, corrugated pipes 7 are installed on the inlet and outlet pipes of the edge guard to ensure stable pressure inside the tank after sealing treatment.
[0034] Working principle: When using an automatic adjustment device for float glass edge guards, firstly, the fixing components are installed on both sides of the tin bath, and then the lead screw 4 is installed between the first support frame 8. A sliding block 5 is connected to the lead screw 4. The edge guard is fixed below the sliding block 5 by bolts. The motor 1 is started by the control box 3, and the speed is adjusted by the reducer 2 to drive the lead screw 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding block 5 to move along the lead screw 4 in two degrees of freedom in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the edge guard to move synchronously, which can achieve the purpose of automatic adjustment of the edge guard.
