Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass production, in particular to a novel bubbling device for float glass. Background Art

[0002] Float glass production is a method of manufacturing flat glass that utilizes the properties of molten glass to float and spread on the surface of molten metal to form a flat sheet of glass. During the float glass production process, bubblers play a vital role in improving the quality of the molten glass and increasing production efficiency. Bubblers introduce bubbles into the molten glass, promoting uniform mixing and reducing defects such as bubbles, stones, and streaks. With the increasing production costs and quality requirements for glass products, the use and popularity of bubblers has also rapidly developed. During the glass production process, the tank furnace primarily melts the clinker. During this clinker melting process, bubblers are required to introduce gas into the solution, causing it to churn and homogenize. Many existing bubbler systems have relatively simple adjustment mechanisms, relying solely on an air pump to adjust the gas supply. This makes it impossible to precisely adjust the bubble rate and position, resulting in poor mixing of the molten glass and impacting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a novel bubbling device for float glass, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems as follows:

[0005] A novel bubbling device for float glass comprises a connecting tube, a fixing plate, a fixing seat, a sleeve and a plug-in tube. One end of each of the sleeve and the plug-in tube is provided with a connecting tube, and the sleeve and the plug-in tube are plugged into each other at ends facing away from the connecting tube. A first air hole and a second air hole are respectively formed on the sleeve and the plug-in tube. A fixing seat is provided on the connecting tube, and the connecting tube is slidably mounted on the fixing plate via the fixing seat. The fixing plate is fixed to the inner wall of the glass furnace.

[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the position of the first air hole on the sleeve corresponds to the position of the second air hole on the plug tube, and the rate of bubbles emerging from the sleeve and the plug tube can be adjusted by adjusting the relative positions of the first air hole and the second air hole.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0009] By adjusting the position of the air holes in the sleeve and spigot, the rate of bubble generation can be precisely controlled. This precise control is crucial to the float glass production process, as it optimizes the agitation of the molten glass, ensures its uniformity, and thus improves the quality of the finished glass. The size and number of bubbles directly impact the mixing efficiency of the molten glass and the removal of impurities. By precisely adjusting the air hole position, bubbles of the appropriate size and quantity can be generated, effectively removing impurities and bubbles from the molten glass, reducing defects, and improving the transparency and mechanical properties of the glass.

[0010] Furthermore, a slider is provided on the fixing seat, and a limiting hole and a threaded hole are provided on the slider.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0012] The slider can slide freely on the fixed seat. Through the combination of the limit hole and the threaded hole, the position of the fixed seat on the fixed plate can be fixed and fine-tuned, and then the position of the sleeve and the plug tube can be fine-tuned, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the relative position of the first air hole and the second air hole.

[0013] Furthermore, sliding grooves are provided at both ends of the fixed plate, a threaded column is rotatably installed in the fixed plate, a rotating block is provided at one end of the threaded column located outside the fixed plate, and guide columns are provided on both sides of the threaded column in the fixed plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0015] The chute allows the slider to move smoothly on the fixed plate, while the threaded post precisely controls the slider's position by rotating the rotating block. This design provides precise adjustment capabilities, allowing the bubbling device to be fine-tuned during operation, ensuring accurate and stable positioning of the device. Guide posts on either side of the threaded post provide additional support and guidance, ensuring the slider remains on track as it moves within the chute. The guide posts enhance system stability and reliability, preventing the slider from shaking or deflecting due to external forces.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixing seat is slidably installed in the sliding groove by cooperating with the threaded column and the guide column through the threaded hole and the limiting hole of the sliding block.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0018] The threaded holes on the slider mate with threaded posts, allowing precise adjustment of the mounting base within the chute by rotating the posts. The stopper holes on the slider mate with guide posts, providing additional support and guidance to prevent the slider from straying during adjustment. The combination of the stopper holes and guide posts enhances the stability of the entire assembly, ensuring that the mounting base maintains the correct trajectory within the chute.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0020] The sleeve and the insert tube are each equipped with a first air hole and a second air hole, each of which can be adjusted relative to the other. By adjusting the relative position of the first and second air holes, the rate of bubbles emerging from the sleeve and the insert tube can be precisely controlled. This design allows the bubble generation rate to be adjusted according to the actual needs of the production process, achieving precise control of the bubble generation rate, thereby optimizing the stirring effect and quality of the molten glass. This precise adjustment effectively improves the mixing quality of the molten glass, reduces the presence of bubbles and impurities, and thus enhances the quality and consistency of the final product.

[0021] The connecting tube slides onto the fixed plate via a mounting bracket. The bracket features a slider that engages with the threaded and guide posts through threaded and stoppered holes. This design allows for flexible positioning of the bubbling device during installation and maintains stability during operation, making it less susceptible to external vibrations or shocks. This helps maintain operational continuity and consistent glass quality.

[0022] The rotating block is connected to the threaded column. By rotating the threaded column, the position of the sleeve and the plug-in tube can be adjusted, so that the operator can flexibly adjust the bubble generation rate according to specific production needs.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] A novel bubbling device for float glass comprises a connecting tube 1, a fixing plate 2, a fixing seat 3, a sleeve 4, and a plug-in tube 7. Each sleeve 4 and plug-in tube 7 is provided with the connecting tube 1 at one end. The sleeve 4 and plug-in tube 7 are connected to each other at their ends facing away from the connecting tube 1. A first air hole 5 and a second air hole 6 are respectively formed in the sleeve 4 and plug-in tube 7. The position of the first air hole 5 on the sleeve 4 corresponds to the position of the second air hole 6 on the plug-in tube 7. The rate of bubbles emerging from the sleeve 4 and plug-in tube 7 is adjusted by adjusting the relative positions of the first air hole 5 and the second air hole 6. By adjusting the positions of the air holes in the sleeve 4 and plug-in tube 7, the rate of bubble generation can be precisely controlled. This precise control is crucial for the float glass production process because it optimizes the stirring effect of the molten glass, ensures the uniformity of the molten glass, and thus improves the quality of the finished glass. The size and number of bubbles directly affect the mixing effect of the molten glass and the efficiency of impurity removal. By precisely adjusting the position of the air holes, bubbles of appropriate size and quantity can be generated, thereby effectively removing impurities and bubbles in the glass liquid, reducing defects in the glass liquid, and improving the transparency and mechanical properties of the glass. A fixing seat 3 is provided on the connecting pipe 1, and the connecting pipe 1 is slidably installed on the fixing plate 2 through the fixing seat 3.

This design provides the ability of precise adjustment, so that the bubbling device can be fine-tuned during operation to ensure the accuracy and stability of the equipment position. The guide columns 13 are located on both sides of the threaded column 12, providing additional support and guidance to ensure that the slider 9 does not deviate from the predetermined track when moving in the slide groove 14. Guide posts 13 enhance the stability and reliability of the system, preventing the slider 9 from shaking or deflecting due to external forces. The fixing seat 3 slides within the chute 14 through the threaded holes 11 and limiting holes 10 of the slider 9, in conjunction with the threaded posts 12 and guide posts 13. The threaded holes 11 on the slider 9 cooperate with the threaded posts 12, and the threaded posts 12 are rotated to precisely adjust the position of the fixing seat 3 within the chute 14. The limiting holes 10 on the slider 9 cooperate with the guide posts 13, providing additional support and guidance, preventing the slider 9 from deviating from its track during adjustment.The cooperation between the limiting hole 10 and the guide column 13 enhances the stability of the entire device, ensuring that the fixing seat 3 always maintains the correct track during the sliding process in the slide groove 14, and the fixing plate 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the glass furnace.

[0040] When a new type of bubbling device for float glass based on Example 1 is used:

[0041] The sleeve 4 and the insert tube 7 are each provided with a first air hole 5 and a second air hole 6, whose positions can be adjusted relative to each other. By adjusting the relative position of the first air hole 5 and the second air hole 6, the rate of bubbles emerging from the sleeve 4 and the insert tube 7 can be precisely controlled. This design allows the bubble generation rate to be adjusted according to the actual needs of the production process, achieving precise control of the bubble generation rate, thereby optimizing the stirring effect and quality of the molten glass. This precise adjustment effectively improves the mixing quality of the molten glass, reduces the presence of bubbles and impurities, and thus enhances the quality and consistency of the final product.

[0042] Connecting tube 1 is slidably mounted on fixing plate 2 via fixing base 3. Fixing base 3 is provided with slider 9, which engages with threaded post 12 and guide post 13 through threaded hole 11 and limit hole 10 of slider 9. This design allows for flexible position adjustment of the bubbling device during installation and maintains stability during operation, making it less susceptible to external vibration or impact, thus maintaining operational continuity and consistent glass quality.

[0043] The rotating block 8 is connected to the threaded column 12. By rotating the threaded column 12, the positions of the sleeve 4 and the plug-in tube 7 can be adjusted, so that the operator can flexibly adjust the bubble generation rate according to specific production needs.
