Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of float glass production, in particular to an edge flattening roller for float glass production. Background Art

[0002] Float glass production is a common glass manufacturing process, which forms a continuous flat glass ribbon by floating molten glass on molten tin. At present, in the float production line, glass below 4mm has the problem of edge warping during the cold end production process. When the glass reaches the cross-cut bridge at the cold end, the edge is not flat enough, resulting in the edge warping of the glass ribbon. Therefore, metal rollers are used to flatten the edges of the glass ribbon.

[0003] When the existing metal roller is used to flatten the edge of the glass ribbon, the surface of the metal roller is too hard. When the downward pressure of the roller is too large, the glass is easily crushed, thereby reducing the flattening effect on the edge of the glass.

[0004] Therefore, an edge flattening roller for float glass production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an edge flattening roller for float glass production in order to solve the above problems, thereby improving the problem that the surface of the metal roller is too hard and the glass is easily crushed when the downward pressure of the roller is too large.

By using the threaded rod, the sliding frame and the slider, the rubber wheel is softly pressed down on the edge of the glass, and by using the gas cylinder, the movable frame and the one-way air outlet pipe, the rubber wheel is balanced on the edge of the glass, thereby avoiding the damage to the edge of the glass caused by the roller being too hard and the pressure being too large, and improving the effect of the roller on flattening the edge of the glass.

[0007] Preferably, an observation rod is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame, so as to realize the observation of the downward movement distance of the air storage cylinder, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the downward pressure of the rubber wheel on the glass edge.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the gas cylinder, and the surface of the observation rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring. The sealing ring is used to achieve sealing between the observation rod and the gas cylinder to avoid air leakage between the gas cylinder and the observation rod.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the sliding block is clamped with a limiting frame.

[0010] Preferably, two support frames are fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame, and the inner wall of the limit frame is slidably connected to the surface of the support frame. The limit frame and the support frame are used to realize the positioning release of the slider in the sliding frame, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the two rubber wheels, ensuring that the rubber wheels can flatten the edges of glass of different sizes.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the limit frame is fixedly connected with a second spring, and the top of the second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the gas cylinder is connected with a one-way air inlet pipe. The one-way air inlet pipe and the first spring are used to allow external air to flow into the gas cylinder, ensuring that there is a certain amount of gas in the gas cylinder, thereby ensuring that the rubber wheel can be pressed against the edge of the glass in the next use.

[0013] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the slide frame, and the surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to the top of the conveyor frame. The guide rod is used to limit the position of the slide frame during lifting and lowering, and avoid deviation caused by the threaded rod during lifting and lowering of the slide frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The threaded rod, sliding frame and slider are used to realize the rubber wheel to gently press down the edge of the glass.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] When implementing: Figure 1-4 As shown, an edge flattening roller for float glass production comprises: a glass production frame 1, a conveying frame 2 is arranged on one side of the glass production frame 1; an anti-pressure mechanism 3, the anti-pressure mechanism 3 is arranged on the top of the conveying frame 2; wherein the anti-pressure mechanism 3 comprises a sliding frame 31 arranged on the top of the conveying frame 2, two sliders 32 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 31, an air storage cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 32, a movable frame 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air storage cylinder 33, a rubber wheel 35 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable frame 34, and the opposite ends of the air storage cylinder 33 and the movable frame 34 are A first spring 37 is fixedly connected thereto, a one-way air outlet pipe 38 is connected to the top of the air cylinder 33, a threaded rod 36 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding frame 31, and the surface of the threaded rod 36 is threadedly connected to the top of the conveying rack 2, an observation rod 310 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rack 34, a sealing ring 311 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the air cylinder 33, and the surface of the observation rod 310 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring 311, a one-way air inlet pipe 39 is connected to the top of the air cylinder 33, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 31, and the surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to the top of the conveying rack 2.

[0024] The one-way air outlet pipe 38 includes a first one-way valve and an air outlet pipe, the air outlet pipe is connected to the air storage cylinder 33, the first one-way valve is embedded and installed on the surface of the air outlet pipe, the first one-way valve blocks the external gas from entering the air storage cylinder 33 through the air outlet pipe, the one-way air inlet pipe 39 includes a second one-way valve and an air inlet pipe, the second one-way valve blocks the gas in the air storage cylinder 33 from being discharged through the air inlet pipe, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air storage cylinder 33, and the second one-way valve is embedded and installed on the surface of the air inlet pipe.

[0025] It should be noted that the first one-way valve, the second one-way valve, the sealing ring 311, the glass production frame 1 and the conveying rack 2 in the above description are all relatively mature devices in the existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the glass production frame 1 and the conveying rack 2 can be powered by a built-in power supply or by AC power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0026] When it is necessary to flatten the edge of the glass, the threaded rod 36 is rotated, and the threaded rod 36 rotates and moves downward on the conveying frame 2, driving the sliding frame 31 to move downward. The sliding frame 31 moves downward to drive the gas cylinder 33, the movable frame 34 and the rubber wheel 35 to move downward, so that the rubber wheel 35 is pressed down on the edge of the glass. At this time, the sliding frame 31 continues to drive the gas cylinder 33 to move downward. The first spring 37 is stretched during the downward movement of the gas cylinder 33, and the movable frame 34 pushes the gas in the gas cylinder 33 to be discharged through the one-way air outlet pipe 38, so that the sealing ring 311 moves on the observation rod 310. When the observation block on the observation rod 310 moves out of the gas cylinder 33, the threaded rod 36 is stopped from rotating, so as to prevent the threaded rod 36 from continuing to drive the sliding frame 31, the sliding block 32 and the gas cylinder 33 to move downward, so that the rubber wheel 35 is gently pressed on the edge of the glass. At this time, the conveying frame 2 transports the glass, and the rubber wheel 35 flattens the edge of the glass being transported.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the slider 32 is clamped with a limit frame 313, the top of the slide frame 31 is fixedly connected with two support frames 312, the inner wall of the limit frame 313 is slidably connected to the surface of the support frame 312, the top of the limit frame 313 is fixedly connected with a second spring 314, and the top of the second spring 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 312.

[0028] When it is necessary to adjust the flattening effect of the rubber wheel 35 on the edges of glass of different sizes, push the limit frame 313 upward, release the positioning of the slider 32 in the slide frame 31, pull the two rubber wheels 35 respectively to move the edge of the glass of that size, loosen the limit frame 313, and the elastic force of the second spring 314 pushes the limit frame 313 downward so that it is clamped in the slider 32, and position the rubber wheel 35 so that the rubber wheel 35 can flatten the edges of glass of different sizes, thereby ensuring the flexibility of using the rubber wheel 35.

[0029] When the utility model is in use, the limit frame 313 is pushed up to release the positioning of the slider 32 in the slider frame 31, and the two rubber wheels 35 are pulled to move the glass edge of the size. The elastic force of the second spring 314 pushes the limit frame 313 to move down, so that it is clamped in the slider 32, and the threaded rod 36 is rotated. The threaded rod 36 rotates and moves down on the conveying frame 2 through the slider frame 31, the air storage cylinder 33 and the movable frame 34 to drive the rubber wheel 35 to press down on the glass edge. At this time, the slider frame 31 continues to drive the air storage cylinder 33 to move down, and the air storage cylinder 3 During the downward movement, the first spring 37 is stretched, and the movable frame 34 pushes the gas in the gas cylinder 33 to be discharged through the one-way gas outlet pipe 38, so that the sealing ring 311 moves on the observation rod 310. When the observation block on the observation rod 310 moves out of the gas cylinder 33, the threaded rod 36 is stopped from rotating, so that the threaded rod 36 is prevented from continuing to drive the sliding frame 31, the sliding block 32 and the gas cylinder 33 to move downward, so that the rubber wheel 35 is gently pressed on the edge of the glass. At this time, the conveying frame 2 transports the glass, and the rubber wheel 35 flattens the edge of the glass being transported.

[0030] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
