[0003] In the manufacturing process of glass containers, the melting process of its production raw materials in the glass kiln is one of the key processes for making glassware. Various glassy raw materials are melted into liquid under the high temperature of the glass kiln, and the obtained high-quality liquid is transported to the next production process. At the same time, new raw materials must be continuously added to the kiln for mixing and melting. However, the amount of raw materials added and the time of adding must be controlled.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution for a multi-step speed feeding device of a glass kiln, including a storage box body 3, a sealed box cover 1 is provided at the upper end of the storage box body 3, a hinge 2 is provided between the sealed box cover 1 and the storage box body 3, a conveying funnel 4 is provided at the bottom of the storage box body 3, a feeding mechanism 5 is connected to the conveying funnel 4, and a control mechanism 6 is connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe 501. After opening the sealed box cover 1, raw materials can be added to the storage box body 3, and the raw materials in the storage box body 3 will be conveyed to the conveying pipe 501 through the conveying funnel 4. Automatic feeding can be achieved through the cooperation of the control mechanism 6 and the feeding mechanism 5.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a conveying pipe 501 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the conveying funnel 4, a retaining frame 506 fixedly mounted on the front end of the conveying pipe 501, a driving motor 505 fixedly mounted on the rear end of the conveying pipe 501, a driving shaft 504 fixedly mounted on the output end of the driving motor 505, an extrusion screw 502 fixedly mounted on the driving shaft 504, a docking port 503 is provided on the conveying pipe 501, the conveying pipe 501 is connected to the bottom of the conveying funnel 4 through the docking port 503, a coupling is provided on the output end of the driving motor 505, one side of the driving shaft 504 is fixed to the output end of the driving motor 505 through the coupling, and the other side of the driving shaft 504 is fixed to the extrusion screw 502.

[0023] Specifically, the driving motor 505 can drive the driving shaft 504 to rotate, and after the driving shaft 504 rotates, it will drive the extrusion screw 502 to rotate. After the extrusion screw 502 rotates, it will squeeze the raw material in the storage box 3 into the material pool in the glass kiln, thereby realizing the addition of raw material.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the control mechanism 6 includes a sliding sleeve 602 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the conveying pipe 501, a movable conductive slider 604 in the sliding sleeve 602, a telescopic rod 606 fixedly mounted on the conductive slider 604, a high-temperature resistant float 607 fixedly mounted on the lower end of the telescopic rod 606, a conductive joint 605 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sliding sleeve 602, and a power cord of the drive motor 505 is connected to the conductive joint 605, a docking base 601 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the sliding sleeve 602, a docking through hole 603 is opened at the edge of the docking through hole 603, a bolt is provided in the docking through hole 603, and the docking base 601 is fixed to the conveying pipe 501 by bolts.

[0025] Specifically, when the liquid in the glass kiln is discharged, the level of the liquid in the material pool will drop, and the high-temperature resistant float 607 will drop along with the liquid level. After the high-temperature resistant float 607 drops, it will drive the telescopic rod 606 to move downward. After the telescopic rod 606 moves downward, it will drive the conductive slider 604 to move downward, so that the conductive slider 604 contacts the conductive connector 605, thereby turning on the power supply of the drive motor 505, and automatically adding materials when the silo is out of materials.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, the raw material is stored in the storage box 3, and the conveying pipe 501 is located above the material pool of the glass furnace. When the material liquid in the glass furnace is discharged, the material liquid level in the material pool will drop. After the material liquid level in the material pool drops, the high-temperature resistant float 607 will drop along with the material liquid level. Since one end of the telescopic rod 606 is fixed on the conductive slider 604, and the other end of the telescopic rod 606 is fixed on the high-temperature resistant float 607, the high-temperature resistant float 607 will drive the telescopic rod 606 to move downward after it drops. After the telescopic rod 606 moves downward, it will drive the conductive slider 604 to move downward. The conductive slider 604 moving downward will contact the conductive joint 605. After the conductive slider 604 contacts the conductive connector 605, the power supply of the drive motor 505 can be turned on. After the power supply of the drive motor 505 is turned on, it will drive the drive shaft 504 to rotate. After the drive shaft 504 rotates, it will drive the extrusion screw 502 to rotate. After the extrusion screw 502 rotates, the raw material in the storage box 3 will be squeezed into the material pool in the glass kiln, and automatic feeding can be achieved through the cooperation of the control mechanism 6 and the feeding mechanism 5. At the same time, during use, the user opens the sealed box cover 1. After opening the sealed box cover 1, raw material can be added to the storage box 3. The raw material in the storage box 3 will be conveyed to the conveying pipe 501 through the conveying funnel 4.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
