Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass tempering, and particularly relates to a glass tempering furnace which is convenient for adjusting the distance between heating rollers. Background Technique

[0002] Glass tempering is a strengthening treatment method in which a compressive stress layer is formed on the glass surface through a heating and rapid cooling process, while a tensile stress layer is maintained inside. This process greatly enhances the impact resistance and safety of the glass. When it breaks, it will form obtuse fragments and is widely used in fields such as architecture, automobiles, and household appliances. In the design of traditional glass tempering furnaces, the heating unit usually consists of multiple heating rollers, which are responsible for uniformly heating the glass plate to near the softening point, and then fixing the shape through rapid cooling to complete tempering.

[0003] In the early design of tempering furnaces, the distance between heating rollers was often fixed, which limited the adaptability to glass of different thicknesses. In other words, the same furnace equipment was difficult to meet diverse production needs, resulting in low production flexibility; non-uniform heating would cause uneven stress distribution inside the glass, affecting the quality of the finished product and even producing defective products. Especially when dealing with thin or extra-large-sized glass, heating uniformity became a technical problem; adjusting the distance between heating rollers or replacing heating rollers of different specifications usually required a complex operation process, which was time-consuming and might affect production efficiency, and had high requirements for the skills of operators.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model proposes a glass tempering furnace which is convenient for adjusting the distance between heating rollers. By introducing innovative designs such as a lifting adjustment component and a double-layer heating roller frame, it solves the limitations of traditional technologies in terms of adjustment flexibility, heating uniformity, production efficiency, and maintenance management, and meets the urgent need for technological upgrading in the glass tempering industry.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a guide rail is fixed inside the middle vertical beam of the frame, a guide block is adaptively installed on the guide rail, and the guide block is fixed on the side surface of the mounting seat.

[0011] The utility model is further configured such that an electric furnace wire is wound on the surface of the heating roller body, and the electric furnace wire is connected to the internal control system of the mounting seat.

[0012] The utility model is further configured such that the lifting adjustment components are oppositely arranged at the ends of the heating roller frame. One side of the gear is movably connected to the bracket through a shaft member, and the other side of the gear is matched with the output shaft of the motor through a shaft member.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1.

[0024] Embodiment

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present utility model is a glass tempering furnace for facilitating the adjustment of the spacing between heating rollers, including a lifting and adjusting assembly 1 and a heating roller frame 2 mounted inside the lifting and adjusting assembly 1. The lifting and adjusting assembly 1 includes a frame 11, a support plate 12 fixed to the side of the frame 11, a bracket 15 movably sleeved outside the middle vertical beam of the frame 11, a rack 16 fixed to the middle position of the frame 11, a gear meshing with the rack 16, a motor 14 for driving the rotation of the gear, and a drag chain 13 connecting the support plate 12 and the bracket 15; the heating roller frame 2 includes a mounting seat 21 fixed to the inner side of the bracket 15, a roller frame 22 fixed to the inner side of the mounting seat 21, and a heating roller body 23 arranged inside the roller frame 22.

[0026] The further description of the above structure is as follows:

[0027] The heating roller frame 2 is arranged in a double layer, and is correspondingly arranged one by one with the motor 14 parallel to the heating roller frame 2; inside the middle vertical beam of the frame 11, a guide rail 18 is fixed, and a guide block 17 is adaptively installed on the guide rail 18, and the guide block 17 is fixed to the side surface of the mounting seat 21; an electric furnace wire is wound on the surface of the heating roller body 23, and the electric furnace wire is connected to the internal control system of the mounting seat 21.

[0028] The lifting and adjusting assembly 1 is oppositely arranged at the end of the heating roller frame 2. One of the gears is movably connected to the bracket 15 through a shaft member, and the other gear is matched with the output shaft of the motor 14 through a shaft member; the motor 14 is fixed to the outside of the bracket 15, and the motor 14, the gear, the rack 16 and the drag chain 13 form a drive system of the heating roller frame 2.

[0029] In this glass tempering furnace, through the mounting of the heating roller frame 2 by the lifting and adjusting assembly 1, the flexible adjustment of the distance between the heating roller frames 2 is realized, and the applicable range and production efficiency of the equipment are improved.

[0030] Further description of the lifting and adjusting assembly 1: The frame 11 constitutes the outer frame of the entire lifting and adjusting assembly 1, providing a stable basic support for the entire system, and the support plate 12 fixed to its side is used for the installation of the drag chain 13. The bracket 15 is movably sleeved outside the middle vertical beam of the frame 11 and can slide up and down along the vertical direction. The motor 14 is connected to the gear through its output shaft. When the motor 14 operates, the gear rotates and drives the engaged rack 16 to move up and down, thereby controlling the lifting of the bracket 15.

The electric furnace wire wound inside the heating roller body 23 is the heating source. Through precise temperature control, the uniformity and controllability of the heating process are ensured. The electric furnace wire is connected to the control system inside the mounting seat 21, so that the heating process can adjust the temperature according to needs to meet the requirements of different glass tempering processes.

[0032] In summary, the lifting and adjusting component 1 driven by the motor 14 makes it convenient to adjust the distance between the heating roller frames 2. The operator can quickly adjust through the control system to meet the glass processing requirements of different specifications. The combination of uniform heating and rapid adjustment ability not only reduces the downtime caused by equipment adjustment, but also improves the efficiency of the glass tempering process and the quality of the final product, and reduces the rejection rate caused by uneven heating. The modular structure design, such as the use of the drag chain 13, simplifies the daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the equipment and reduces the maintenance cost.
