Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass melting furnaces, in particular to a feeder for a glass melting furnace. Background Art
[0002] A glass melting furnace is a device that adds powdered materials of a predetermined glass composition and, at high temperatures, melts, clarifies, and homogenizes them to form a molten glass that meets molding requirements. Glass melting furnaces can be categorized by type as flame furnaces or electric furnaces. Glass melting furnaces require constant addition of materials to maintain their operation. Initially, manual addition evolved into dedicated feeders, which simply align the feeder's delivery pipe with the furnace's inlet, eliminating the need for manual addition and significantly improving safety and efficiency.
[0003] When the feeder is feeding the glass melting furnace, the material that entered earlier will be pushed into the glass melting furnace by the material that enters later, thereby reducing the accumulation of materials at the port of the glass melting furnace. However, since the last part of the material is not fed by the subsequent material, it is easy to accumulate at the port of the glass melting furnace, so this part of the material still needs to be operated by the staff before it can enter the glass melting furnace.
[0004] To this end, the utility model provides a feeder for a glass melting furnace. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background technology is solved.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: the utility model is a feeder for a glass melting furnace, including a feeder, one end of the feeder is fixedly installed with a feeding pipe connected to the interior; the surface of the feeding pipe is fixedly sleeved with a sleeve plate, one side of the sleeve plate is fixedly installed with a connecting frame, an electric push rod is fixedly installed in the connecting frame, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly installed with a rectangular frame.
[0007] Furthermore, rectangular grooves are provided at both ends of the rectangular frame, an extension plate is slidably connected in the rectangular groove of the rectangular frame, a spring is fixedly installed at one end of the extension plate, the end of the spring away from the extension plate is fixedly connected to the rectangular groove of the rectangular frame, the end of the extension plate away from the spring is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped end of the extension plate is bent in the direction away from the sleeve plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to a rotating plate via a torsion spring, and the rotating plate is arc-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the connection frame are slidably connected with "L"-shaped limiting columns, the top of the extension plate is provided with limiting holes adapted to the limiting columns, and both ends of the connection frame are fixedly installed with arc-shaped scrapers.
[0010] Furthermore, an arc-shaped bottom bracket is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sleeve plate, a storage box is attached to the bottom of the bottom bracket by screws, and a slot communicating with the storage box is opened on the top of the bottom bracket.
[0011] Furthermore, a number of hollow elastic blocks are fixedly installed in the connecting frame, an air outlet pipe connected to the interior is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic block, the end of the air outlet pipe away from the elastic block is aligned with the sleeve plate, and a pressure plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod, and the two sides of the pressure plate are arc-shaped.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The utility model relates to a feeder for a glass melting furnace. By activating the electric push rod in the connecting frame, the output end of the electric push rod moves with the rectangular frame into the port of the glass melting furnace. As the rectangular frame moves, the rectangular frame moves away from the bottom of the conveying pipe with the rotating plate. The rotating plate rotates and resets under the action of the torsion spring, and then moves away from the rectangular frame and remains in an upright state. Through the coordinated movement of the rectangular frame, two extension plates and a rotating plate, the residual material at the port of the glass melting furnace is pushed, and the upright arc-shaped rotating plate can prevent the material from accumulating more and more and then crossing the rectangular frame. The arc-shaped rotating plate can be used to continuously roll and push the material into the glass melting furnace. In this way, the last part of the material in the port of the glass melting furnace can be pushed into the glass melting furnace without the need for operator operation, achieving efficient automation and reducing the harm to the workers caused by the high temperature in the glass melting furnace. When the extension plate is reset, the scraper can be used to remove material impurities on the surface of the extension plate.
[0014] 2. The utility model describes a feeder for a glass melting furnace. When the electric push rod leaves the port of the glass melting furnace with the connecting frame and the extension plate, a small amount of impurities and materials remaining in the glass melting furnace will be taken away together by the connecting frame. At this time, the remaining materials and impurities will fall into the storage box through the notch on the bottom bracket, thereby playing a role in rapid collection, and preventing impurities from falling next to the high-temperature glass melting furnace, which requires staff to clean up again. When the electric push rod slides out and retracts to reset, it uses the pressure plate to squeeze the elastic block in the rectangular frame, so that the gas in the elastic block is blown to the sleeve through the exhaust pipe, thereby assisting in cooling the sleeve and preventing the sleeve from being in a high-temperature state after leaving the glass melting furnace, thereby accidentally scalding the staff.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a feeder for a glass melting furnace described in an embodiment of the present invention includes a feeder 1, one end of the feeder 1 is fixedly mounted with a feed pipe 2 connected to the interior; a sleeve plate 3 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the feed pipe 2, one side of the sleeve plate 3 is fixedly mounted with a connecting frame 4, an electric push rod 16 is fixedly mounted in the connecting frame 4, and a rectangular frame 5 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 16.
[0024] Specifically, rectangular grooves are provided at both ends of the rectangular frame 5, and an extension plate 6 is slidably connected in the rectangular groove of the rectangular frame 5. A spring 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the extension plate 6. The end of the spring 7 away from the extension plate 6 is fixedly connected to the rectangular groove of the rectangular frame 5. The end of the extension plate 6 away from the spring 7 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped end of the extension plate 6 is bent in the direction away from the sleeve plate 3. The top of the connecting frame 4 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 8 through a torsion spring, and the rotating plate 8 is arc-shaped. "L"-shaped limiting columns 10 are slidably connected at both ends of the connecting frame 4, and a limiting hole 11 that matches the limiting column 10 is provided at the top of the extension plate 6. Arc-shaped scrapers 9 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting frame 4.
[0025] During operation, when the feeder 1 brings the delivery tube close to the port of the glass melting furnace, the delivery tube is inserted into the port of the glass melting furnace and begins to deliver material. At this time, the connecting frame 4 is also inside the port of the glass melting furnace. The installation of the sleeve plate 3 can effectively prevent the high temperature in the glass melting furnace from flowing out, ensuring that the temperature in the glass melting furnace does not drop, and also greatly protecting the staff near the feeder 1.
[0026] After the conveyor tube finishes conveying material, the last portion of material accumulates inside the glass furnace's port, making it difficult to deliver it into the furnace. At this point, the electric push rod 16 inside the connecting frame 4 is activated, causing the output end of the push rod 16 to move with the rectangular frame 5 into the glass furnace's port. It's important to note that the stopper 10 on the extension plate 6 is removed before the connecting frame 4 enters the glass furnace's port. Therefore, the extension plate 6, under the action of the spring 7, slides away from the rectangular frame 5, allowing the curved end of the extension plate 6 to mate with the inner wall of the glass furnace's port. As the rectangular frame 5 moves, it pulls the rotating plate 8 away from the bottom of the conveyor tube. The rotating plate 8, under the action of the torsion spring, rotates back, moving away from the rectangular frame 5 and remaining upright. The coordinated movement of the rectangular frame 5, the two extension plates 6, and the rotating plate 8 pushes the remaining material at the glass furnace's port. The upright curved rotating plate 8 prevents the material from accumulating and then overtaking the rectangular frame 5. The curved rotating plate 8 continuously propels the material into the glass furnace. Thus, the last portion of material in the glass melting furnace port can be pushed into the glass melting furnace without the need for operator operation, achieving efficient automation and reducing the risk of high temperature in the glass melting furnace to workers. When the extension plate 6 is reset, the scraper 9 can remove material impurities on the surface of the extension plate 6.
[0027] The bottom of the sleeve 3 is fixed with an arc-shaped bottom bracket 12, and the bottom of the bottom bracket 12 is screwed with a storage box 13. The top of the bottom bracket 12 is provided with a slot connected to the storage box 13. Several hollow elastic blocks 14 are fixedly installed in the connection frame 4. One side of the elastic block 14 is fixed with an air outlet pipe connected to the interior. The end of the air outlet pipe away from the elastic block 14 is aligned with the sleeve 3. The output end of the electric push rod 16 is fixed with a pressure plate 15, and the two sides of the pressure plate 15 are arc-shaped.
[0028] During operation, when the electric push rod 16 leaves the port of the glass melting furnace with the connecting frame 4 and the extension plate 6, a small amount of impurities and materials remaining in the glass melting furnace will be taken away by the connecting frame 4. At this time, the remaining materials and impurities will fall into the storage box 13 through the notch on the bottom bracket 12, thereby playing a quick collection role, preventing impurities from falling next to the high-temperature glass melting furnace and requiring staff to clean them again. When the electric push rod 16 slides out and retracts to reset, it uses the pressure plate 15 to squeeze the elastic block 14 in the rectangular frame 5, so that the gas in the elastic block 14 is blown to the sleeve plate 3 through the exhaust pipe, thereby assisting in cooling the sleeve plate 3 and preventing the sleeve plate 3 from being in a high-temperature state after leaving the glass melting furnace, thereby accidentally scalding the staff.
[0029] Working principle: Start the electric push rod 16 in the connecting frame 4, so that the output end of the electric push rod 16 moves with the rectangular frame 5 into the port of the glass melting furnace. As the rectangular frame 5 moves, the rectangular frame 5 leaves the bottom of the conveying pipe with the rotating plate 8. The rotating plate 8 rotates and resets under the action of the torsion spring, and then moves away from the rectangular frame 5 and remains in an upright state. Through the coordinated movement of the rectangular frame 5, the two extension plates 6 and the rotating plate 8, the residual material at the port of the glass melting furnace is pushed, and the upright arc-shaped rotating plate 8 can prevent the material from accumulating more and more and then crossing the rectangular frame 5. The arc-shaped rotating plate 8 can be used to continuously roll and push the material into the glass melting furnace. In this way, the last part of the material in the port of the glass melting furnace can be pushed into the glass melting furnace without the need for staff to operate.
[0030] When the electric push rod 16 leaves the port of the glass melting furnace with the connecting frame 4 and the extension plate 6, the small amount of impurities and materials remaining in the glass melting furnace will be taken away by the connecting frame 4. At this time, the remaining materials and impurities will fall into the storage box 13 through the notch on the bottom bracket 12, thereby playing a role in rapid collection. When the electric push rod 16 slides out and retracts to reset, it uses the pressure plate 15 to squeeze the elastic block 14 in the rectangular frame 5, so that the gas in the elastic block 14 is blown toward the sleeve plate 3 through the exhaust pipe, thereby helping to cool the sleeve plate 3 and preventing the sleeve plate 3 from remaining in a high temperature state after leaving the glass melting furnace, thereby preventing accidental burns to staff.
