Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air blowing and quenching of curved tempered glass, in particular to a mechanism capable of adjusting the curved steel blowing surface. Background Art

[0002] To complete the bending and tempering of glass, the glass tempering unit needs to heat the glass to a certain temperature, then enter the bending air grid to form it and quickly cool it. Currently, the cooling process for bent tempered glass is mainly air-cooled, which requires a blow-and-quench system to be installed in the tempering unit.

[0003] In the production process of bent and tempered glass, the glass panels that need to be processed often vary in size. In addition, due to furnace limitations, the maximum glass size that can be processed by the curved air grille will conflict with the actual glass panels produced. That is, sometimes placing one more piece of glass will exceed the processing capacity of the curved air grille. When placing one less piece of glass, the wind blown out from the area without glass in the curved air grille will be discharged into the atmosphere in vain, causing a waste of electricity.

[0004] Although there are some technical solutions in the existing technology that can achieve the adjustment of the blowing area, these existing technologies still have certain shortcomings. The Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN218174823U discloses a curved tempered glass wind grille blowing area adjustment device. The patent controls the air outlet area by setting a switch on each air outlet. However, in actual work, there are a large number of air outlets in the blowing system. The cost of this technical solution is extremely high, and a lot of cables and control systems are required to control the switches, which greatly increases the cost of use. At the same time, the large number of mechanical structures also greatly increases the risk of failure.

[0005] As market competition becomes increasingly fierce, tempering plants have an increasingly urgent need to reduce energy consumption in tempering units. Achieving energy-saving and high-efficiency in glass tempering at low cost has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a mechanism for adjusting the curved steel blowing plate.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a mechanism with an adjustable bent steel blowing surface, including an air distribution box, characterized in that a plurality of partitions are provided inside the air distribution box to divide the air distribution box into a plurality of cavities, a gate frame is fixed at the air inlet of the air distribution box, a gate valve plate is slidably arranged on the gate frame, the gate valve plate is connected to the output end of the power component through the gate valve body, and the power component drives the gate valve plate to move to control the on and off states of different cavities in the air distribution box.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the upper and lower ends of the gate plate frame are provided with sliding grooves corresponding to the gate valve plate, and the gate valve plate is driven by the power component to translate in the sliding grooves.

[0009] As a preferred solution, a position sensor for sensing the position of the gate valve plate is further provided on the sliding groove.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the end of the sliding groove is detachably provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the valve plate of the gate valve from falling out.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the limiting mechanism is a limit proximity switch.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the power component is any one of a motor, an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0013] As a preferred solution, a plurality of air outlets of the air boxes are provided below the cavity, and the air knives are connected to the air outlets of the air boxes through ventilation hoses.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the partition is fixed inside the air distribution box by welding.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the gate valve plate is detachably fixedly connected to the gate valve body by bolts.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a mechanism for adjusting the curved steel blowing plate. By optimizing the structural design, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0018] First, several partitions are provided inside the air distribution box to divide it into several cavities. A gate valve plate is also provided at the air inlet of the air distribution box. By controlling the movement of the gate valve plate according to the size of the processed glass, the on and off states of each cavity can be adjusted, thereby reducing unnecessary waste of air volume, realizing effective control of the blowing surface, and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0019] Secondly, the gate valve disc, valve body, and power assembly are mounted on the outside of the air box via a gate valve frame. The gate valve disc and valve body are detachably connected via bolts. This structural design significantly reduces maintenance costs, and the exposed power assembly can be easily replaced, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while enhancing equipment availability. The detachable gate valve frame is equipped with a limiter to prevent the gate valve disc from falling off the track in extreme circumstances, ensuring safe operation of the equipment.

[0020] Thirdly, the partition is fixed inside the air distribution box by welding. The welding fixation ensures the stability of the partition under high wind pressure in the air distribution box, and effectively improves the air tightness of each cavity in cooperation with the gate valve plate.

[0021] Fourthly, the gate valve plate is arranged at the air inlet of the air box through the gate valve frame, and the gate valve frame is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the gate valve plate, which ensures the stability and accuracy of the gate valve plate during movement, reduces resistance and wear during movement, and extends the service life of the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is described in detail below by way of exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may also be beneficially combined in other embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning understood by persons having ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs. The words "one", "an", "the" and the like used in the specification and claims of the present utility model patent application do not express a quantitative limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one; words such as "include" or "comprise" indicate that the elements or objects appearing before "include" or "comprise" include the elements or objects listed after "include" or "comprise" and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects with the same function.

[0030] In order to more clearly describe the specific structural composition of the adjustable curved steel blowing plate, Figure 1-4 Describe this embodiment:

[0031] A mechanism with an adjustable bent steel blowing surface, which is mainly composed of a distribution air box 1, and a plurality of partitions 2 are fixedly arranged inside the distribution air box 1, dividing the space inside the entire distribution air box 1 into a number of independent cavities 12. In order to achieve the effect of accurately controlling the air volume, a gate frame 13 is installed at the air inlet of the distribution air box 1, and the gate frame 13 supports the gate valve plate 4 to slide horizontally inside. The gate valve plate 4 is detachably fixedly connected to the gate valve body 5, and the movement operation is realized by the power component 6, and the power component 6 is firmly fixed to the base of the external frame of the distribution air box 1. When the power component 6 is in operation, the power component 6 drives the gate valve plate 4 to move, thereby effectively controlling the opening or closing state of different cavities inside the distribution air box 1.

[0032] The quenching air required for tempered glass comes out from the fan, flows through the gate valve body to the air distribution box, enters the ventilation hose through the air distribution box outlet, and finally enters the air knife, and comes out from the air knife to shoot towards the glass surface to form tempering.

[0033] A plurality of air outlets 3 of the divided air box are provided under each cavity. These air outlets are connected to the air knife 9 through the ventilation hose 8, so that the wind force can accurately act on the glass surface that needs to be quenched, ensuring that the glass is evenly cooled during the cooling process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the gate valve plate 4 is slidably arranged in the gate valve frame 13. The gate plate frame 13 is designed with sliding grooves matching the gate valve plate 4 at the upper and lower ends, allowing the gate valve plate 4 to move smoothly under the action of the power component 6.

[0035] Furthermore, the gate valve plate 4 and the gate valve body 5 are detachably fixedly connected by bolts, and the gate valve body 5 and the power assembly 6 are detachably fixedly connected by bolts, and can be combined and separated by bolt fixation.

[0036] In this embodiment, a detachable limiting mechanism 14 is provided at the end of the sliding groove. This design can prevent the gate valve plate 4 from derailing under extreme conditions, thereby further improving the safety of equipment operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power component 6 uses a cylinder. A cylinder is provided at each end of the gate valve frame 13 and connected to its corresponding gate valve body 5. In order to ensure sufficient power during operation, one or more cylinders can be provided to form a power component to control the gate valve plate.

[0038] In this embodiment, a position sensor is provided on the sliding groove to monitor the position information of the gate valve plate 4 in real time, and a control system is provided on the wind box frame to receive the signal from the position sensor on the gate valve frame 13 to control the movement and stop of the gate valve plate.

[0039] In another embodiment, the power assembly 6 may also utilize a motor with an encoder. By counting the encoder, the closed position of the gate valve plate 4 can be controlled to control the opening of the air inlet of each cavity. Those skilled in the art may also utilize a servo motor to control the gate valve plate 4 through its own functions, manually adjust the push-pull control valve plate 4, or employ other technical solutions to achieve the same purpose. All such technical solutions fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0040] Working process:

[0041] In the first step, the staff starts the power assembly 6, which drives the gate valve disc 4 to move along the sliding groove on the gate frame 13. At this time, the position sensor on the sliding groove will detect the position of the gate valve disc 4 and feed back to the control system to ensure that the gate valve disc 4 moves to the appropriate position.

[0042] In the second step, as the gate valve plate 4 moves, the on / off states of the cavities 12 divided by the partition 2 inside the air box 1 change, and the power component 6 drives the valve plate to move to ventilate the cavity 12 that needs ventilation.

[0043] In the third step, the airflow passing through each cavity 12 is discharged from the air outlet 3 of the air distribution box below the cavity 12. These air outlets are connected to the air knife 9 through the ventilation hose 8. The airflow passes through the ventilation hose 8 and finally reaches the air knife 9. The air knife 9 then evenly distributes the wind force on the glass surface, promoting rapid cooling of the glass.

[0044] When the gate valve disc 4 needs to be replaced or repaired, it can be easily removed because it is fixed to the gate valve body 5 by bolts. This simplifies the maintenance process, reduces maintenance costs and downtime, and improves equipment availability. At the same time, the power assembly 6 exposed outside the air box 1 can be easily replaced, further ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0045] It should be noted that although the present invention has been described through the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it is obvious that those skilled in the art may make various corresponding changes and modifications to the present invention, and such changes and modifications shall fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims and their equivalents.
