Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling for glass production, and particularly relates to a cooling device for glass production. Background Art

[0002] In the process of glass production, the cooling process is a key link to ensure the quality of glass. Traditional cooling methods usually adopt natural cooling or conventional cooling systems, but these methods often have problems such as low cooling efficiency, large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the glass, and easy generation of stress cracks, which affect the quality and production efficiency of glass. At present, the commonly used glass cooling methods include air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling mainly cools the glass through a fan or a blower, but the cooling speed is slow and uneven. Water cooling is to place the glass in cooling water, but rapid cooling may cause an increase in internal stress of the glass and even rupture. The existing glass cooling technologies have problems such as low cooling efficiency, uneven cooling, and easy generation of internal stress, which seriously affect the quality and production cost of glass products.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220056648U, a cooling device for tempered glass production, can spray cooling water from several spray nozzles to contact the surface of the tempered glass for cooling and temperature reduction. At the same time, the motor drives the tempered glass to rotate inside the housing through transmission, so that the cooling water contacts all surfaces of the tempered glass for comprehensive cooling, preventing wire entanglement caused by the rotation of the cooling device. However, the water flow of this device is too large, and the too-fast cooling speed may cause an increase in internal stress of the glass and even rupture. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a glass production cooling device to reduce the water flow and slowly cool the glass for the above-mentioned existing technical problems.

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a cooling device for glass production, including a box body, and further including: a transportation component, the transportation component penetrates through the box body; a water delivery pipe, the water delivery pipe penetrates through the box body perpendicular to the transportation length direction; a mounting frame, the mounting frame is arranged above the transportation component; a sprinkler head, the sprinkler heads are linearly arranged on the top of the mounting frame.

[0006] In this technical solution, the transportation component transports the glass into the box body, the water delivery pipe is connected to the sprinkler heads to provide water source, and the sprinkler heads sprinkle water on the glass surface. Due to the high temperature on the glass surface, the water evaporates into water vapor. The sprinkler heads break the water into small water droplets and disperse them, and the small water droplets fall and contact the glass surface more evenly. The sprayed small water droplets not only contact the high-temperature glass surface and quickly form water vapor, avoiding the increase in internal stress of the glass and even rupture that may be caused by rapid cooling during the glass cooling process, but also have a larger surface area in contact with the glass to achieve the cooling effect. The effect of slow cooling is realized.

[0007] In the above technical solution, further, the sprinkler head includes a limiting block and a compression unit. The compression unit is arranged inside the sprinkler head and compresses the water flow. The limiting block is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head. A connecting unit is arranged on one side of the sprinkler head, and a diverging unit is arranged on the other side. The connecting unit connects the sprinkler head and the water delivery pipe, and the diverging unit diverges the compressed water flow.

[0008] In this technical solution, the limiting block rotatably arranges the sprinkler head on the mounting bracket. The connecting unit connects the sprinkler head to the water delivery pipe, and the water delivery pipe supplies water to the sprinkler head. The water enters the compression unit for compression. The internal pressure of the compressed water increases, forming a high-pressure water flow. When the high-pressure water flow contacts the diverging unit, it quickly spreads out to form small water droplets. The small water droplets fall and contact the high-temperature glass surface to cool the glass.

[0009] In the above technical solution, further, the connecting unit includes a connecting block. The connecting block is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head. A first sliding groove is arranged inside the connecting block, and a first sliding strip is movably connected to the first sliding groove. The first sliding strip is arranged on the water delivery pipe.

[0010] In this technical solution, the sprinkler head is connected to the water delivery pipe through the connecting block. The connection of the first sliding groove enables the sprinkler head to rotate on the mounting bracket without interference.

[0011] In the above technical solution, further, the compression unit includes a first compression chamber. The first compression chamber is arranged in the connecting block. The first compression chamber is connected to a second compression chamber. The second compression chamber is arranged inside the sprinkler head. The second compression chamber is connected to a third compression chamber.

[0012] In this technical solution, the chamber diameters of the first compression chamber to the third compression chamber decrease in sequence. The volume of the water flow is compressed by reducing the space of the compression chamber, thereby increasing the water pressure.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further, the first compression chamber includes a spiral blade. The spiral blade is coaxially and fixedly arranged inside the first compression chamber.

[0014] In this technical solution, since the sprinkler head is rotatably arranged on the mounting bracket, when the water flow passes through the spiral blade, the entire sprinkler head rotates, making the water spray more evenly on the glass.

[0015] In the above technical solution, further, the diverging unit includes a fixing frame. The fixing frame is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head on the side away from the connecting block. A convex block is arranged on the fixing frame, and an arc-shaped groove is arranged on the top of the convex block.

[0016] In this technical solution, the fixing frame is installed at the outlet of the sprinkler head, and the arc-shaped groove corresponds to the water outlet of the sprinkler head. When the water flow is compressed and sprayed out from the sprinkler outlet, the high-pressure water flow strikes the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, causing the high-pressure water flow to disperse into small water droplets. The sprinkler head rotates on the mounting frame to prevent the fixing frame from blocking the water flow divergence.

[0017] In the above technical solution, further, the transportation component includes transportation guard plates. Two transportation guard plates are symmetrically penetrated through the box body. A transportation roller is rotatably arranged on the transportation guard plates. The transportation rollers are linearly arranged along the length direction of the transportation guard plates. Two first motors are fixedly arranged at both ends of the transportation guard plates. The output end of the first motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the transportation roller.

[0018] In this technical solution, the first motor drives the transportation roller to rotate. The glass on the surface of the transportation roller is driven by the transportation roller, so that the glass slides and transports on the transportation roller.

[0019] In the above technical solution, further, a reflux component is further included. The reflux component includes a reflux cover. The reflux cover is arranged on the top of the box body. A reflux groove is arranged on the inner wall of the reflux cover. A water collecting tank is arranged at the bottom of the box body. A water outlet is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting tank. A water pump is arranged at the water outlet. The water pump is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the box body. The water pump is connected with a reflux pipe, and the other end of the reflux pipe is connected to a water delivery pipe.

[0020] In this technical solution, the reflux cover collects the evaporated water vapor. When it contacts the reflux cover, it condenses into water droplets and flows down the reflux groove to the side wall of the box body. The water droplets flow into the water collecting tank along the side wall of the box body. The water collecting tank collects the excess sprayed water. The water pump sends the water in the water collecting tank into the water delivery pipe through the reflux pipe, and the water is reused repeatedly to achieve the effect of saving.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0022] 1. By setting the sprinkler head, the water is refined and dispersed into small water droplets. The small water droplets are more evenly scattered and contact the glass surface. The sprayed small water droplets not only contact the high-temperature glass surface and quickly form water vapor, avoiding the possible increase in internal stress and even cracking of the glass during the cooling process of the glass, but also have a larger contact area with the glass to achieve the cooling effect. The amount of water used is also reduced.

[0023] 2. By setting the transportation component, the first motor drives the transportation roller to rotate. The glass on the surface of the transportation roller is driven by the transportation roller, so that the glass slides and transports on the transportation roller.

[0024] 3. By setting up a reflux component, the water pump sends the water in the water collection tank into the water delivery pipe through the reflux pipe, and repeatedly uses the water to achieve the effect of conservation. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] This embodiment provides a cooling device for glass production, as Figures 1-5 shown, which includes a box body 1 and further includes: a transportation component that penetrates through the box body 1; a water delivery pipe 9 that penetrates through the box body 1 in the vertical transportation length direction; a mounting frame 11 that is arranged above the transportation component; and a sprinkler head 10 that is linearly arranged on the top of the mounting frame 11. The transportation component transports the glass into the box body 1. The water delivery pipe 9 is connected to the sprinkler head 10 to provide water source, and the sprinkler head 10 sprays water on the surface of the glass. Due to the high temperature on the surface of the glass, the water evaporates into water vapor. The sprinkler head 10 breaks the water into fine droplets and scatters them. The small droplets fall and contact the glass surface more evenly. The sprayed small droplets not only contact the high-temperature glass surface and quickly form water vapor, avoiding the possible increase in internal stress and even cracking of the glass during the cooling process, but also have a larger contact area with the glass, achieving a cooling effect. The amount of water used is also reduced.

[0039] As Figure 4As shown, the sprinkler head 10 includes a limiting block 102 and a compression unit. The compression unit is disposed inside the sprinkler head 10 and compresses the water flow. The limiting block 102 is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head 10. A connection unit is arranged on one side of the sprinkler head 10, and a divergence unit is arranged on the other side. The connection unit connects the sprinkler head 10 and the water delivery pipe 9, and the divergence unit diverges the compressed water flow. The limiting block 102 rotatably arranges the sprinkler head 10 on the mounting bracket 11. The connection unit connects the sprinkler head 10 to the water delivery pipe 9. The water delivery pipe 9 supplies water to the sprinkler head 10. The water enters the compression unit for compression. The internal pressure of the compressed water increases, forming a high-pressure water flow. When the high-pressure water flow contacts the divergence unit, it quickly spreads out to form small water droplets. The small water droplets scatter and contact the high-temperature glass surface to cool the glass.

[0040] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the connection unit includes a connection block 101. The connection block 101 is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head 10. A first sliding groove 106 is arranged inside the connection block 101. The first sliding groove 106 is movably connected to a first sliding bar 13. The first sliding bar 13 is arranged on the water delivery pipe 9. The sprinkler head 10 is connected to the water delivery pipe 9 through the connection block 101. The connection of the first sliding groove 106 enables the sprinkler head 10 to rotate on the mounting bracket 11 without interference.

[0041] As Figure 5 shown, the compression unit includes a first compression chamber 107. The first compression chamber 107 is arranged inside the connection block 101. The first compression chamber 107 is connected to a second compression chamber 109. The second compression chamber 109 is arranged inside the sprinkler head 10. The second compression chamber 109 is connected to a third compression chamber 110. The chamber diameters of the first compression chamber 107 to the third compression chamber 110 decrease in sequence. The volume of the water flow is compressed by reducing the space of the compression chambers, thereby increasing the water flow pressure. The first compression chamber 107 includes a spiral blade 108. The spiral blade 108 is coaxially and fixedly arranged inside the first compression chamber 107. Since the sprinkler head 10 is rotatably arranged on the mounting bracket 11, when the water flow passes through the spiral blade 108, the entire sprinkler head 10 rotates, making the water spray more evenly on the glass.

[0042] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the divergence unit includes a fixing frame 103. One side of the fixing frame 103 away from the connecting block 101 is fixedly arranged on the sprinkler head 10. A convex block 104 is arranged on the fixing frame 103, and an arc groove is arranged at the top of the convex block 104. The fixing frame 103 is erected at the outlet of the sprinkler head 10, and the arc groove corresponds to the water outlet of the sprinkler head 10. When the water flow is compressed and sprayed out from the sprinkler outlet, the high-pressure water flow hits the inner wall of the arc groove, dispersing the high-pressure water flow into small water droplets. The sprinkler head 10 rotates on the mounting frame 11 to prevent the fixing frame 103 from blocking the water flow divergence.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the transportation component includes transportation guards 5. Two of the transportation guards 5 are symmetrically penetrated through the box body 1. A transportation roller 3 is rotatably arranged on the transportation guard 5. The transportation rollers 3 are linearly arranged along the length direction of the transportation guard plate on the transportation guard plate. Two first motors 4 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the transportation guard plate. The output end of the first motor 4 is coaxially fixedly connected to the transportation roller 3. The first motor 4 drives the transportation roller 3 to rotate, and the glass on the surface of the transportation roller 3 is driven by the transportation roller 3, so that the glass slides and transports on the transportation roller 3.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the reflux component includes a reflux cover 2. The reflux cover 2 is arranged on the top of the box body 1. A reflux groove 8 is arranged on the inner wall of the reflux cover 2. A water collecting tank 12 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1. An outlet is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting tank 12. A water pump 6 is arranged at the outlet. The water pump 6 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the box body 1. The water pump 6 is connected with a reflux pipe 7, and the other end of the reflux pipe 7 is connected to a water delivery pipe 9. The reflux cover 2 collects the evaporated water vapor. When it contacts the reflux cover 2, it condenses into water droplets and flows down along the reflux groove 8 to the side wall of the box body 1. The water droplets flow into the water collecting tank 12 along the side wall of the box body 1. The water collecting tank 12 collects the excess sprayed water. The water pump 6 sends the water in the water collecting tank 12 into the water delivery pipe 9 through the reflux pipe 7, and the water is reused repeatedly to achieve the effect of saving.

[0045] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other. The present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present application, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims, and all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
