Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of float glass production, in particular to an auxiliary tool for installing a neck-locking water bag. Background Art

[0002] The neck cooling water bag is a device in the float glass furnace. Located above the neck, it sits in the molten glass and is constructed from welded rectangular steel pipes. It intercepts any scum from the molten glass from flowing toward the cooling section. Furthermore, the circulating water within the bag cools the molten glass, further absorbing any microbubbles within. Furthermore, by blocking the flow of molten glass from above, the bag slows the flow of molten glass in the front clarifier, raising its temperature somewhat and facilitating clarification. Therefore, the neck cooling water bag is a crucial device in float glass production.

[0003] In existing glass production processes, the neck water bag of the glass production furnace is generally inserted manually. The entry and exit of the neck water bag often requires multiple people to operate alternately. As a result, the time required to replace the neck water bag is relatively long, the replacement rate is low, and the replacement period will have a certain adverse effect on the quality of the glass. In addition, due to the high temperature around the glass melting furnace, safety accidents such as worker burns often occur when replacing the neck water bag. In addition, with the rapid development of the photovoltaic glass industry in the past decade, the market demand for photovoltaic glass, that is, rolled glass, has also increased, and the technical requirements and automation level of glass hot end process equipment have become increasingly higher. Therefore, in order to further improve glass production efficiency, ensure glass quality, and meet the higher process requirements of glass production, it is necessary to improve the replacement method of the neck water bag to achieve fast and efficient replacement of the neck water bag, improve replacement efficiency, and ensure glass production efficiency and production quality.

[0004] Currently, the neck-clamping water bag devices used in ultra-thin float glass production lines mostly utilize ground-mounted rail-mounted water bags. These have a limited height adjustment range and poor stability, and occupy space on both sides of the neck, making replacement and maintenance inconvenient. In the event of a circulating water outage or water bag leak, the neck-clamping water bag takes a long time to remove, creating a high risk of damage. Furthermore, replacement of the water bag takes a long time, impacting the quality of the molten glass.

[0005] The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN104710103B provides a neck-locking water bag device for glass production. The device comprises a guide rail positioned above the melting section and the working section. At least one sliding gantry is slidably mounted on the guide rail, and a water bag is positioned below the sliding gantry. The water bag is connected to a lifting device. In the lifting device, one end of a steel wire rope is connected to a crossbeam, and the other end passes over a fixed pulley on the sliding gantry and is connected to a lifting winch. This prior art provides a neck-locking water bag device for glass production. By suspending the water bag on the guide rail and providing a lifting device to raise and lower the water bag, the water bag can be raised and lowered, and moved in and out.

[0006] However, due to the limited space available on site, installing the water bottle onto the guide rail still requires considerable effort. The bottle itself is heavy, requiring significant manpower to dismantle, install, and transfer. This long and physically demanding process often leads to fluctuations in production processes and prolonged recovery times for product quality. Consequently, the existing technology still needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes an auxiliary tool for installing a neck-locking water bag, which can at least solve the problem that the existing neck-locking water bag is time-consuming and labor-intensive to install on a guide rail.

[0008] The utility model discloses an auxiliary tool for installing a water bottle with a neck clamp, comprising a support plate and a transfer device. The support plate is arranged horizontally. The transfer device is arranged at the bottom of the support plate to assist in the horizontal movement of the support plate. The height of the support plate is lower than that of the water bottle with a neck clamp.

[0009] In some embodiments, two stoppers are mounted above the support plate, with the spacing between the two stoppers being greater than the width of the neck bag. When the neck bag lands on the support plate, it is positioned between the two stoppers, restraining the bag and preventing it from tipping over.

[0010] In some embodiments, the direction of the length of the neck water bag is the first direction, and each limiting member extends along the first direction, so that the neck water bag falls between the two limiting members, and the limiting member and the neck water bag contact a larger range in the length direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the neck water bag.

[0011] In some embodiments, the limiting member includes two columns mounted on the support plate, and a cross bar mounted on the upper ends of the two columns, and the cross bar is arranged in the first direction. The limiting member has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0012] In some embodiments, the columns are angle steels, which have strong pressure resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support plate is a rectangular plate, and the transfer device includes four universal wheels, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the support plate and can drive the support plate to move and adjust in any direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support plate is a steel plate with a thickness of at least 10 mm to prevent the support plate from being deformed due to excessive force.

[0015] In some embodiments, the neck water bag installation auxiliary tool also includes a pad, which is detachably arranged on the support plate and is used to increase the height of the support surface of the support plate according to needs, so as to facilitate setting the neck water bag at a predetermined height.

[0016] In some embodiments, the column is telescopically arranged in the vertical direction, and a reinforcing rib plate is provided at the connection between the column and the support plate to adapt to the neck water bags of different heights.

[0017] In some embodiments, the width of the support plate is 300 mm, which can meet the requirement of insufficient space at the neck.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is based on the existing neck water bag device to set the neck water bag installation auxiliary tool. During operation, the neck water bag is placed on the auxiliary tool. Since the center of gravity of the neck water bag is basically on the tool cart, only two people are needed to control the movement of the auxiliary tool, one at the head of the neck water bag and the other at the tail of the neck water bag, to control the walking direction of the neck water bag and move the neck water bag. Then, the hanging water bag car is controlled to lower the fixing part to a certain height, and a vertically arranged plate is removed. After that, the neck water bag can be controlled to control the auxiliary tool to move horizontally, so that the neck water bag directly enters the fixed frame from the reserved opening formed by the removed plate, and then the removed plate is installed and reset. Similarly, when the neck water bag is removed, the hanging water bag car is directly lowered, the neck water bag falls onto the auxiliary tool, and the fixing bolts for installing the vertical plate are removed. The neck water bag can then be taken out by the auxiliary tool. The installation and removal method is simple and labor-saving, thereby improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention shown in the exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in the present invention, it is readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible without departing substantially from the teachings of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. Other substitutions, modifications, variations, and deletions may be made to the design, operating conditions, and parameters of the following exemplary embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0026] As mentioned in the background technology section above, the present inventors recognize that existing suspended water bottle neck devices used in glass production suffer from at least one issue: considerable effort is required to install the bottle neck device on the guide rail. Based on these issues and the potential for improvement in the prior art, the present inventors have provided, in one or more embodiments, a tool for assisting the installation of the bottle neck device, which they believe can address one or more of the aforementioned issues in the prior art.

[0027] The present invention is used in conjunction with existing suspended water-drum carts. Specifically, the water-drum cart is movable along a horizontal guide rail. A fixing member is provided at the bottom of the cart, and the fixing member is controlled to move up and down by a transmission mechanism. The fixing member is a frame-shaped structure formed by four plates. The plate frame extends through both ends of the guide rail, and one vertical plate is detachably connected to the other plates.

[0028] The utility model provides a tool for assisting the installation of a neck water bag, comprising: a support plate 1 and a transfer device. The support plate 1 is arranged horizontally. The transfer device is arranged at the bottom of the support plate 1 and is used to assist the horizontal movement of the support plate 1. The height of the support plate 1 is lower than that of the neck water bag, which facilitates the movement of the support plate 1 below the neck water bag to be removed or installed. Since the center of gravity of the neck water bag is at the head, when carrying the neck water bag, it is only necessary to place the head of the neck water bag in the middle of the support plate 1.

[0029] The utility model is based on the existing neck water bag device to set the neck water bag installation auxiliary tool. During operation, the neck water bag is placed on the auxiliary tool. Because the center of gravity of the neck water bag is basically on the tool cart, only two people are needed to control the movement of the auxiliary tool, one at the head of the neck water bag and the other at the tail of the neck water bag, to control the walking direction of the neck water bag so that the neck water bag moves along the direction of the guide rail. Then the hanging water bag car controls the fixing part to be lowered to a certain height, and a vertically arranged plate is removed. After that, the neck water bag can be controlled to control the auxiliary tool to move horizontally, so that the neck water bag directly enters the fixed frame from the reserved opening formed by the removed plate, and then the removed plate is installed and reset. Similarly, when the neck water bag is removed, the hanging water bag car is directly lowered, the neck water bag falls onto the auxiliary tool, and the fixing bolts for installing the vertical plate are removed. The neck water bag can then be taken out by the auxiliary tool. The installation and removal method is simple and labor-saving, which improves work efficiency.

[0030] In some embodiments, two limiters are installed above the support plate 1, and the distance between the two limiters is greater than the width of the neck water bag. Figure 3 As shown, two limiting members are distributed in parallel in the middle of the support plate 1. When the neck water bag falls on the support plate 1, it is located between the two limiting members. The two limiting members limit the neck water bag to prevent it from tipping over.

[0031] In some embodiments, the direction of the length of the neck water bag is the first direction, and each limiting member extends along the first direction, so that the neck water bag falls between the two limiting members, and the limiting member and the neck water bag contact a larger range in the length direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the neck water bag.

[0032] In some embodiments, the stopper comprises two uprights 3 mounted on the support plate 1, and a crossbar 4 mounted on the upper ends of the two uprights 3, with the crossbar 4 arranged in the first direction. For example, a 320mm height upright 3 and a 500mm length crossbar 4 can be selected to accommodate existing neck-lock water bags. This structure is simple and easy to install, and can be connected by welding or bolts, providing high stability.

[0033] In some embodiments, the upright column 3 is an angle steel with a specific size of 20mm*20mm. The angle steel is used for position limiting, which has strong pressure resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0034] In some embodiments, the support plate 1 is a rectangular plate, such as Figure 3 As shown, its length is 1000mm. It is suitable for longer neck water bags. The transfer device includes four universal wheels 2, which are respectively set at the four corners of the support plate 1 and can drive the support plate 1 to move and adjust in any direction.

[0035] In some embodiments, the support plate 1 is a steel plate with a thickness of at least 10 mm. Since the neck water bag is heavy, about 500 kg, the support plate 1 needs to be thicker to prevent the support plate 1 from being deformed by excessive force.

[0036] In some embodiments, the neck-lock water bag installation aid also includes a backing plate (not shown) that is detachably mounted on the support plate 1. Specifically, the backing plate is a rectangular plate that can be placed over the support plate 1. It can include slots for the two stoppers to extend through, increasing the height of the support surface of the support plate 1 as needed, facilitating placement of the neck-lock water bag at a predetermined height. Alternatively, the backing plates can be spliced together.

[0037] In some embodiments, the column 3 is vertically telescopically mounted; the lower end of the column 3 can be mounted on the support plate 1 by welding or bolting, with a reinforcing rib plate provided at the connection between the column 3 and the support plate 1. For example, the same column 3 can be formed by stacking two angle steels, each of which can have multiple vertical through-holes. Bolts can be inserted through the through-holes to connect the two angle steels. The height of the entire column 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the movable angle steel to accommodate water bottles of different heights.

[0038] In some embodiments, the width of the support plate 1 is 300 mm, which can meet the requirement of insufficient space at the neck.

[0039] The above embodiments are possible examples of implementation of the present invention and are given only to enable those skilled in the art to clearly understand the principles of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above discussion of any embodiment is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope disclosed by the embodiments of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples. Under the overall concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined with each other to produce many other changes in different aspects of the embodiments of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in the specific implementation for the sake of simplicity. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection required by the present invention.
