[0031] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] As mentioned in the background art above, during glass tempering, due to factors such as the condition of the glass and high temperature, it sometimes explodes and produces broken glass. Therefore, a broken glass collection device is needed to collect the broken glass for recycling and reuse. Although the existing technology has achieved the collection of broken glass, when the collection box is full of broken glass in the tempering furnace, the staff needs to open the box door to clean or replace the collection box, which will inevitably cause the broken glass to be scattered into the environment. Based on this, the inventors of this application provide a broken glass collection device for a glass tempering furnace and a glass tempering furnace in one or more embodiments. When the collection box is full of broken glass and lowered into the box, the broken glass collection device first places another empty collection box into the top opening of the box, and then pulls the collection box filled with broken glass out of the discharge port. This achieves the continuous production of the tempering furnace while avoiding the problem of broken glass being scattered into the environment caused by replacing the collection box. Thus, one or more problems in the prior art are solved.

[0033] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a broken glass collection device for a glass tempering furnace. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a box body, which includes two opposite first side panels 1 and two opposite second side panels 2, and the two first side panels 1 and the two second side panels 2 enclose a box body with an open top; a vertical chute 3 and a horizontal chute 4 are opened on the inner wall of the first side panel 1, and the vertical chute 3 extends downward from the top of the first side panel 1 and is connected to the horizontal chute 4 arranged below the vertical chute 3, and a discharge port 5 is opened on the lower part of the second side panel 2; a collection box for collecting broken glass from the glass tempering furnace includes two opposite first vertical panels 6 , two opposite second vertical plates 7 and a bottom plate 8, two first vertical plates 6 and two second vertical plates 7 enclose the side walls of the collection box, the bottom of the side wall is set on the edge of the bottom plate 8, and a slider 9 is set on the outer wall of the first vertical plate 6; wherein, the collection box enters the box body from the top opening of the box body, and the slider 9 is slidably set in the vertical slide 3, so that the collection box moves downward under the gravity of the broken glass to reach the discharge port 5, so that the slider 9 enters the horizontal slide 4 and slides in the horizontal slide 4 to pull the collection box out of the box body.

[0034] Specifically, the box is placed below the cullet outlet of the tempering furnace. Before the tempering furnace is started, an empty collection box is placed on the upper opening of the box, and the slider 9 is placed in the vertical slide 3. When the tempering furnace is started and continuous production occurs, the generated cullet falls into the collection box. Specifically, the dimensions and materials of the box and the collection box can be designed so that the outer wall of the collection box can abut against the inner wall of the box formed by the first side panel 1 and the second side panel 2. The static friction between the outer wall of the collection box and the inner wall of the box can be designed to be equal to the weight of the collection box, so as to ensure that the empty collection box remains stationary after being placed into the box through the top opening. As the broken glass accumulates in the collection box, the static friction between the outer wall of the collection box and the inner wall of the box body can no longer support the collection box, and the collection box moves downward to the discharge port 5, and the slider 9 falls into the horizontal slide 4. When it is full of broken glass, another empty collection box is first placed on the top opening of the box body, and then the collection box filled with broken glass is pulled out from the discharge port 5.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a cullet collection device for a glass tempering furnace. When a collection box is filled with cullet and lowered into the box, another empty collection box is first placed into the top opening of the box, and then the collection box filled with cullet is pulled out from the discharge port 5, thereby achieving continuous production of the tempering furnace and avoiding the problem of cullet scattering into the environment caused by replacing the collection box.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vertical chute 3 includes at least two, and the slider 9 also includes at least two, and the two sliders 9 are slidably arranged in the two chute. Through the cooperation of the two chute and the two sliders 9, the collection box can move downward stably in the box body.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the cullet collection device further includes a conveying mechanism 10 for transporting a collection box to the top opening of the box. The conveying mechanism 10 is disposed on one side of a first side panel 1. Specifically, a sensing mechanism can be provided within the collection box. When a full collection box descends into the box, a control mechanism instructs the conveying mechanism 10 to deliver another empty collection box to the top opening of the box, and then to remove the full collection box from the box. This conveying mechanism 10 enables automated production and saves labor.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, a stop bar 11 is provided at the outer edge of the top of the other first side panel 1. The stop bar 11 prevents the empty collection box from sliding down the other side when the conveying mechanism 10 conveys it from one side of the box to the top opening. The stop bar 11 also serves to position the collection box on the top opening of the box, assisting the slider 9 in entering the vertical chute 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, damping strips 12 are provided on the two opposite inner walls of the vertical chute 3. The damping strips 12 increase the sliding friction between the chute and the slider 9, hindering the downward movement of the collection box in the box body to a certain extent, thus avoiding the problem caused by the collection box moving too fast to a certain extent.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, a pull ring 13 is provided on the top of the second vertical plate 7. The pull ring 13 facilitates the staff or equipment to pull the collection box out from the discharge port 5.

[0041] In some embodiments, a flexible material (not shown) is laid on the bottom plate 8. The flexible material prevents the problem of broken glass falling into the collection box and causing splashing.

[0042] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bottom plate 8 may also be provided with a flexible material (not shown in the figure). The flexible material can cushion the collision that occurs when the collection box falls to the bottom of the box body.

[0043] In some embodiments, a pulley (not shown) is provided on the bottom of the box body. The pulley facilitates the movement of the box body, so that the box body can be placed at different workstations or used with different glass tempering furnaces, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cullet collection device.

[0044] In some embodiments, a brake pad (not shown) is provided on the pulley to avoid safety issues caused by the pulley sliding during production.

[0045] In another aspect, the present invention further provides a glass tempering furnace, comprising the above-mentioned cullet collecting device for the glass tempering furnace.

[0046] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure provides a cullet collection device for a glass tempering furnace and a glass tempering furnace. The cullet collection device first places another empty collection box into the top opening of the box when the collection box is full of cullet and descends into the box body, and then pulls out the collection box full of cullet from the discharge port 5, thereby avoiding the problem of cullet scattered into the environment due to replacement of the collection box during continuous production of the tempering furnace; automated production is achieved through the conveying mechanism 10, saving labor; the baffle 11 avoids the problem of empty collection boxes falling from the top opening of the box body; and the pull ring 13 facilitates the staff or equipment to pull the collection box out of the discharge port 5.
