Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a rust removal device for a bottle conveying mesh belt and a glass bottle production line, belonging to the technical field of glass machinery. Background Art

[0002] In the bottle making machine, glass bottles are transported by a conveyor belt. During the bottle making process, the glass undergoes intense temperature and shape changes during the forming process, which can leave thermal stress in the glass. Thermal stress can reduce the strength and thermal stability of the glass bottles. If cooled directly, they are likely to break during the cooling process or during subsequent storage, transportation, and use. To prevent cold cracking, glass products must be annealed in an annealing furnace after forming.

[0003] During the production process, bottles are generally transported by bottle conveyor belts in bottle-making annealing furnaces. Since the bottle conveyor belts are exposed to the air for a long time, rust or dust is easily generated on the surface. If rust or dust sticks to the bottles, it will affect the appearance of the bottles and even cause defects in the glass bottles, affecting the quality of the glass bottles.

[0004] In the prior art, rust and dust removal is typically achieved through physical wiping (e.g., with a brush), as exemplified by the technical solution disclosed in Chinese utility model patent application number 201821494659.7, filed on September 13, 2018, entitled "Automatic Rust Removal Device for Bottle Annealing Furnace." However, due to the structure of the bottle conveyor belt, which consists of a series of metal rings buckled together, traditional physical wiping methods can only remove rust and dust from the surface of the belt. Rust and dust inside the belt remain difficult to remove, thus potentially damaging the quality of the glass bottles.

[0005] The Chinese utility model patent application (application number 202421288526.X), filed by the applicant of this application on June 6, 2024, and entitled "A Rust Removal Device for a Bottle Conveyor Mesh Belt and a Glass Bottle Production Line," describes a technical solution for cleaning a bottle conveyor mesh belt using ultrasonic cleaning. This technical solution can simultaneously remove rust and dust from both the surface and interior of the bottle conveyor mesh belt, improving the cleaning effect. However, after the actual product of this technical solution was put on the market, it was found to have the following problems: a liftable roller is provided in the rust removal trough to accommodate dust and rust removal for bottle conveyor mesh belts of different specifications. However, when the roller is in a lower position in the rust removal trough, the bottle conveyor mesh belt has a large inclination angle, causing the bottle conveyor mesh belt to easily rub against the upper edge of the rust removal trough at the input and output ends of the rust removal trough, resulting in wear of the bottle conveyor mesh belt and the housing.

[0006] When encountering this problem, the only way to overcome it is to increase the height of the rollers to reduce the inclination angle of the bottle conveyor belt. However, this solution has little effect on larger bottle conveyor belts because the rollers must be adjusted to a higher height. On the other hand, for smaller bottle conveyor belts, the roller height must be increased to avoid friction with the rust removal tank. This reduces the running time of the bottle conveyor belt in the rust removal tank, affecting the final dust and rust removal effect. It also requires increasing the height of the cleaning liquid in the rust removal tank, which also increases the amount of cleaning liquid used in the rust removal tank and increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a bottle conveying mesh belt rust removal device and a glass bottle production line by arranging rollers on the top of the rust removal trough, so that the rollers serve as a transition for the bottle conveying mesh belt, thereby preventing the bottle conveying mesh belt from contacting the end of the rust removal trough when entering or / and exiting the rust removal trough, thereby reducing the wear of the bottle conveying mesh belt and the shell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Figures 1 to 4 This is the best embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 7 The utility model is further described.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a rust removal device for a bottle conveying mesh belt (hereinafter referred to as the rust removal device) includes a shell 11. The shell 11 is a rectangular body. Base feet 8 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the shell 11. The rust removal device is supported by the base feet 8 around the four sides.

[0034] The upper end of the housing 11 is open. Two side baffles are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the housing 11 and fixed at both ends of the length direction of the housing 11. Two middle baffles are also symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the housing 11 and fixed at both ends of the width direction of the housing 11. The two side baffles and the two middle baffles are connected end to end at the upper end of the housing 11 to form a rectangular baffle structure.

[0035] A rust removal tank 6 is located within the housing 11. This tank 6 also features an open top. The four sides of the upper end of the tank 6 are fixed to the lower or upper surfaces of the corresponding baffles of the aforementioned baffle mechanism. The side panels on either side of the tank 6 along its length are inclined, resulting in a narrower structure along its width. This structure effectively reduces the amount of cleaning fluid (such as water or rust remover) used within the tank 6, saving costs. As with the prior art, ultrasonic generators are evenly spaced on the surfaces of the inclined panels on either side of the tank 6.

[0036] Two brackets 3 are positioned opposite each other at the upper opening of the housing 11. These brackets 3 extend along the length of the housing 11 and are fixed to the surfaces of the two side baffles. A bearing block 4 is fixed to the top of each bracket 3. A roller 5 is mounted between the two bearing blocks 4. The roller 5 is located only on the side where the bottle conveyor belt enters the descaling trough 6.

[0037] A support frame 10 is fixed horizontally to the surface of one of the side baffles at the upper end of the housing 11. The support frame 10 is located on the side of one of the brackets 3. The inner end of the support frame 10 extends horizontally to the inner side of the rust removal tank 6. A liquid level switch is provided at the lower portion of the inner end of the support frame 10. The liquid level of the cleaning liquid in the rust removal tank 6 is detected and controlled by the liquid level switch. The liquid level switch can be implemented by a common commercially available float switch or a common commercially available liquid level sensor. Detecting and controlling the liquid level in the container by using the liquid level switch is common knowledge and practice in the art, and its specific technical solution will not be repeated here.

[0038] A set of adjustment plates 1 are symmetrically fixed at the upper end of the rust removal tank 6. The adjustment plates 1 are horizontally fixed at the center of the two side baffles. A threaded block 9 is fixed at the center of each adjustment plate 1. Figure 4 A screw rod 12 is provided in the threaded hole of each adjusting plate 1. The screw rod 12 passes through the adjusting plate 1 and is threadedly connected to the threaded block 9. A hand wheel 2 is coaxially fixed to the top of each screw rod 12. By turning the hand wheel 2, the relative position between the screw rod 12 and the adjusting plate 1 can be adjusted.

[0039] Two guide bars 14 are arranged at intervals at the bottom of each adjustment plate 1. The two guide bars 14 are respectively located on both sides of the lower part of the adjustment plate 1. The tops of the two guide bars 14 are fixed to the lower surface of the adjustment plate 1, and the bottoms of the two guide bars 14 extend vertically downward into the rust removal groove 6 and are fixed to the bottom surface of the rust removal groove 6.

[0040] Two guide bars 14 are arranged opposite each other, and a guide rail 13 is provided on each of the opposing surfaces of the two guide bars 14. A roller fixing plate 15 is provided between the two guide bars 14, and guide grooves are provided at each end of the roller fixing plate 15. The roller fixing plate 15 is connected to the guide rail 13 on the corresponding side through the guide grooves at its ends, thereby enabling the roller fixing plate 15 to move vertically between the two guide bars 14.

[0041] The screw rod 12 passes through the adjustment plate 1 and then enters the inner side of the roller fixing plate 15 from the top. The bottom of the screw rod 12 is rotatably connected to the roller fixing plate 15. A roller shaft is provided between the roller fixing plates 15 on either side of the rust removal trough 6, and a roller 7 is rotatably mounted on the roller shaft. Due to the threaded connection between the screw rod 12 and the threaded block 9, and the rotatable connection between the bottom of the screw rod 12 and the roller fixing plate 15, turning the handwheels 2 on either side enables the roller fixing plate 15 to move vertically along the guide bars 14, allowing the roller 7 to be raised and lowered within the rust removal trough 6. This system is suitable for dust and rust removal on bottle conveyor belts of various specifications.

[0042] The specific working process and working principle are as follows:

[0043] In the prior art, glass bottles made by a bottle making machine are transported to an annealing furnace for annealing by a bottle conveyor belt. After annealing is completed and the glass bottles are unloaded, the bottle conveyor belt moves to the rust removal device. The bottle conveyor belt first passes over the surface of the roller 5 and then enters the rust removal trough 6. One end of the bottle conveyor belt extends downward to the roller 7, passes over the roller 7, and then extends to the top of the rust removal trough 6 and is led out of the rust removal trough 6. Therefore, the bottle conveyor belt passes through the rust removal trough 6 for rust removal during operation.

[0044] When the bottle conveying mesh belt passes through the rust removal tank 6, the ultrasonic generator is turned on to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the bottle conveying mesh belt. Therefore, the surface and the inside of the bottle conveying mesh belt can be cleaned at the same time, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0045] An opening (not shown) is also provided on the side of the rust removal tank 6. When the liquid in the rust removal tank 6 needs to be replaced, the liquid is discharged through the opening and new liquid is added after the opening is closed, and this process is repeated.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: in this embodiment, two rollers 5 are arranged above the rust removal trough 6, and the two rollers 5 are relatively arranged at the upper part of the rust removal trough 6. In this embodiment, the fixing method of the rollers 5 is the same as that in embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a filtering mechanism is also provided in this embodiment. Figures 6 and 7 As shown, a filter box 19 is provided on one side of the housing 11. The filter box 19 has at least two chambers separated by a filter cotton filter. An overflow pipe 16 is provided at the side opening of the rust removal tank 6. The overflow pipe 16 connects to one of the chambers of the filter box 19. A circulating pump 18 is provided within the filter box 19. The circulating pump 18 and the overflow pipe 16 are respectively located in two chambers of the filter box 19. A return pipe 17 is connected to the outlet of the circulating pump 18. The other end of the return pipe 17 extends to the upper portion of the rust removal tank 6, and the outlet of the return pipe 17 faces downwardly toward the rust removal tank 6.

[0050] The overflow pipe 16 leads the cleaning liquid out of the rust removal tank 6 and introduces it into the filter box 19. After being filtered by the filter cotton in the filter box 19, it returns to the rust removal tank 6 through the return pipe 17 under the action of the circulation pump 18 to form a circulation, so as to prevent the cleaning liquid in the rust removal tank 6 from being relatively dirty and affecting the rust and dust removal effects.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation thereto. Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above disclosure to modify or remodel the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modification, equivalent variation, or modification of the above embodiment that does not depart from the technical content of the present invention and is based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
