Two trays 6 can be arranged side by side in the movable slide 12, and the height of the trays 6 is lower than the height of the movable slide 12. However, the height of the glass embryos on the trays 6 is higher than the height of the movable slide 12 and is within the spraying area of ​​the flame nozzles 43, so they can be evenly heated.

[0042] To improve the sealing performance of the furnace body 11, please refer to Figures 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, a shielding mechanism 5 is further provided on the top of the furnace body 11. The number of shielding mechanisms 5 is two, and any shielding mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a hanging rope 52 and a shielding plate 2253; the motor 51 is installed on the furnace body 11, and the output end of the motor 51 is connected to the hanging rope 52, and the end of the hanging rope 52 is connected to the shielding plate 2253.

[0043] Motors 51 are arranged on both sides of the top of the furnace body 11, and the output end of each motor 51 is connected to a winding wheel, a hanging rope 52 is wound around the winding wheel, and the end of the hanging rope 52 is connected to a baffle 2253. The baffle 2253 has a certain weight.

[0044] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1-Figure 5The working process of the material transport mechanism of the glass softening furnace 1 of the present invention is described in detail: when in use, the staff places the glass embryo on the tray 6 at the discharge port 14. The tray 6 is a plate made of high temperature resistant material. The first cylinder 311 controls the first push plate 312 to push the tray 6. When the tray 6 close to the first push plate 312 receives the thrust, it drives multiple trays 6 to move to the left and move to the side slide 21. At this time, the second cylinder 321 is started, and the second cylinder 321 drives the second push plate 322 to move. The second push plate 322 pushes the tray 6 on the side slide 21 to move forward. When the telescopic end of the second cylinder 321 retracts, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 311 begins to retract and continue to push the material onto the side slide 21 through the first push plate. When the second cylinder 321 retracts, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 311 begins to retract and retract, and continues to push the material onto the side slide 21 through the first push plate. When the telescopic end of the first cylinder 311 retracts, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 321 telescopes and pushes the tray 6, and the tray 6 is pushed by the tray 6, prompting the tray 6 to enter the pushing area of ​​the third pushing member 33, and the third push plate 332 is pushed by the third cylinder 331, driving the tray 6 to move toward the feed port 13. When it moves to the feed port 13, the fourth cylinder 341 and the fourth push plate 342 cooperate to push the tray 6 into the furnace body 11, and the flame nozzle 43 processes the glass embryo on the tray 6. The device is simple to operate, and through multiple pushing cylinders, multiple trays 6 are pushed to push each other, and the tray 6 is prompted to circulate around the periphery of the furnace body 11, thereby driving the glass embryo to be circulated and processed, greatly improving the working efficiency of the softening furnace 1.
