[0023] In this embodiment, the melting pool body 101 has a heating zone 102 and a clarification zone 103. The clarification zone 103 is located below the heating zone 102. The heating zone 102 is used for heating raw materials, and the clarification zone 103 is used for clarifying glass liquid.

[0024] Among them, the conveying pipe 104 is connected with the clarification area 103, and is integrally formed with the melting pool body 101, and is located at the right bottom of the melting pool body 101. The rising pipe 105 is connected with the conveying pipe 104, and is integrally formed with the conveying pipe 104, and is located on the upper right side of the conveying pipe 104. A liquid outlet 109 is set at the top of the right side of the rising pipe 105. The support plate 106 is fixedly connected to the melting pool body 101 and is located on both sides of the top of the melting pool body 101. The mounting bracket 107 is detachably connected to the support plate 106 and is located on the support plate 106. The melting electrode 108 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 107 and is located on the mounting bracket 107.
