Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass thickness detection, and in particular relates to a device for quickly installing an optical glass online thickness detection instrument. Background Art

[0002] In the optical glass manufacturing industry, precise measurement and control of glass thickness is a key parameter for ensuring product quality, meeting customer needs, and improving production efficiency. With technological advancements and the development of the manufacturing industry, optical glass thickness testing methods are constantly evolving. Traditional testing methods, such as manual measurement with calipers, are not only inefficient but also subject to significant human error and unavoidable errors. To overcome this limitation, laser thickness testers have emerged as a testing tool on optical glass production lines. Laser thickness testers utilize the non-contact measurement principle of a laser beam to quickly and accurately measure glass thickness. Their high precision, high efficiency, and high degree of automation have significantly improved testing efficiency and product quality in optical glass production. However, despite their many advantages, laser thickness testers still face some challenges in practical use.

[0003] Currently, the installation process for laser thickness gauges is relatively complex. Due to the complex and ever-changing production line environment and the varying specific requirements of each production line, the installation of a thickness gauge often requires customized design and adjustment based on the specific circumstances. This not only increases the installation difficulty but also prolongs the installation and commissioning period, hindering the rapid commissioning and efficient operation of the production line. Furthermore, due to the complex structure and high precision of the equipment itself, any malfunction or component replacement often requires specialized technicians. This not only increases maintenance costs but can also lead to extended production line downtime due to untimely maintenance, impacting production efficiency and product delivery cycles. Furthermore, thickness gauges face safety challenges. In optical glass production sites, the operation of various equipment and tools, as well as the handling of raw materials and semi-finished products, often creates safety hazards such as falling objects from heights. These hazards can not only harm workers on the production line but also damage precision equipment such as the thickness gauge. However, most thickness gauges currently on the market lack effective protection mechanisms to address these potential safety risks. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a device for quickly installing an optical glass online thickness detection instrument includes a disassembly component 2 and a protection component 3.

[0026] Among them, the disassembly and assembly component 2 is arranged on one side of the traction annealing furnace 1, and the disassembly and assembly component 2 includes a connecting frame 21 fixedly installed on one side of the traction annealing furnace 1, and a mounting frame 22 is connected to one side of the connecting frame 21. A mounting block 23 is movably installed inside the mounting frame 22, and locking grooves 24 are provided on both sides of the mounting block 23. The mounting block 23 is fixedly connected to the thickness gauge 14 with a positioning pin or a screw near the side of the thickness gauge 14.

[0027] The protection assembly 3 is arranged on one side of the top of the traction annealing furnace 1. The protection assembly 3 includes a protection plate 31 movably installed on the top of the traction annealing furnace 1. An adjustment frame 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the traction annealing furnace 1. A threaded block 34 is movably installed inside the adjustment frame 32. The threaded block 34 is fixedly connected to the protection plate 31.

[0028] Specifically, a mounting frame 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting frame 21 away from the pulling annealing furnace 1, and a mounting block 23 is movably installed inside the mounting frame 22. The mounting block 23 slides and fits with the inner wall of the mounting frame 22. Locking grooves 24 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mounting block 23. U-shaped plates 25 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mounting frame 22. The U-shaped plates 25 are arranged corresponding to the locking grooves 24. A baffle 26 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped plate 25, and a locking plate 27 is movably provided between the baffle 26 and the U-shaped plate 25 through a slot.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, the locking plate 27 cooperates with the locking groove 24 to quickly disassemble and assemble the mounting block 23. The mounting block 23 can be installed by simply inserting the locking plate 27 into the locking groove 24. Conversely, the mounting block 23 can be removed by pulling the locking plate 27 out of the locking groove 24. The baffle 26 can support the locking plate 27.

[0030] Specifically, one end of the locking plate 27 passes through the interior of the mounting frame 22, and one end of the locking plate 27 extends into the interior of the locking groove 24. The locking plate 27 slides in contact with the inner wall of the locking groove 24. The locking plate 27 is provided with an arc surface on one side close to the interior of the mounting frame 22. A reset plate 28 is fixedly installed on the outside of the locking plate 27. Two reset springs 29 are connected between the reset plate 28 and the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 25. The two reset springs 29 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the locking plate 27.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, a curved surface is provided on one side of the locking plate 27 to cooperate with the curved surface of the mounting block 23, enabling quick installation of the mounting block 23. The reset spring 29 and reset plate 28 can drive the locking plate 27 to complete the reset. In this embodiment, to adapt to the detection work of the thickness gauge 14, the lower cutting operation table 13 can be set on the side away from the traction annealing furnace 1, so that there is a certain gap between the lower cutting operation table 13 and the transmission mesh belt 11. The glass 12 is suspended in this gap. The thickness gauge 14 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the lower cutting operation table 13 to detect the glass 12.

[0032] During specific use, first place the mounting block 23 along the inside of the mounting frame 22. During the placement process, the arc surface of the mounting block 23 will conflict with the arc surface of the locking plate 27 and push the locking plate 27 to both sides. At this time, the reset spring 29 is in a stressed state. Until the mounting block 23 is placed at the bottom of the mounting frame 22, the position of the locking plate 27 corresponds to the position of the locking groove 24. The locking plate 27 will extend into the locking groove 24 under the action of the reset spring 29 to complete the installation.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a protective plate 31 is movably installed on the top of the traction annealing furnace 1 near the thickness gauge 14, and an adjustment frame 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the traction annealing furnace 1 near the protective plate 31. A threaded rod 33 is movably installed inside the adjustment frame 32 through a bearing.

[0034] Specifically, a threaded block 34 is installed on the outside of the threaded rod 33 through a threaded engagement, and the threaded block 34 slides and fits against the inner wall of the adjustment frame 32. The threaded block 34 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 31 on the side close to the protective plate 31, and a knob 35 is movably installed on the outside of the adjustment frame 32 on the side close to the threaded rod 33, and the knob 35 is connected to the shaft of the threaded rod 33.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, the protective plate 31 can protect the thickness gauge 14, the adjustment frame 32 is used to limit the threaded block 34 so that the threaded block 34 can only move in a straight line, and the threaded rod 33 can drive the threaded block 34 to move back and forth inside the adjustment frame 32 by rotation, and synchronously drive the protective plate 31 to move back and forth.

[0036] During specific use, first rotate the knob 35, which drives the threaded rod 33 to rotate, and then the threaded rod 33 drives the threaded block 34 to move until the position of the protective plate 31 meets the requirements, then stop rotating the knob 35.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
