DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] A vacuum heating device for producing integrally formed glass, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a furnace frame 1, on which a control box 3 and a furnace body 2 are arranged. The control box 3 and the furnace body 2 are arranged on the left and right. A Forma wheel 13 is arranged at the bottom of the furnace frame 1. The Forma wheel 13 is used to realize the fixation and movement of the vacuum heating furnace.

[0023] The control box 3 is provided with a horizontally arranged and liftable support frame 12. The right end of the support frame 12 extends through the right box panel of the control box 3 and is provided with a vacuum chamber 4. The vacuum chamber 4 is located above the furnace body 2. The bottom of the vacuum chamber 4 is provided with a plurality of vertically downwardly arranged connecting pipes 5 connected to the vacuum chamber 4. The connecting pipes 5 are used to connect to the glass outer tube 6. The vacuum chamber 4 is also connected to a vacuum pump, which is installed in the control box 3. The vacuum pump is used to evacuate the glass outer tube 6 through the vacuum chamber 4 and the connecting pipes 5. The top of the furnace body 2 is provided with a station hole 23 at a position corresponding to each connecting pipe 5. The station hole 23 is connected to the heating chamber in the furnace body 2. The station hole 23 is used for the glass outer tube 6 to pass into and out of the furnace body 2 under the drive of the support frame 12, thereby achieving heating and cooling of the glass outer tube 6.

[0024] The vacuum chamber 4 can be connected to several glass outer tubes 6 at once via a connecting tube 5, allowing for simultaneous evacuation of the multiple glass outer tubes 6. This significantly reduces evacuation time compared to evacuating the individual tubes one by one. The vacuum chamber 4 is connected to a vacuum port 41, which is connected to a vacuum pump via a vacuum pipe. A vacuum solenoid valve 11 is provided on the vacuum pipe to control the on / off state of the vacuum pipe. The control box 3 is equipped with an analog vacuum pressure gauge 9, which is connected to the vacuum pipe and used to measure the vacuum level.

[0025] The control box 3 is provided with a motor 10, which is connected to two screw rods 11 through a transmission assembly. The two screw rods 11 are arranged in parallel and are respectively arranged longitudinally and rotationally on the inner side of the right box plate of the control box 3. The two screw rods 11 are respectively connected to the left ends of the support frame 12 through screw nuts. When in use, the motor 10 drives the screw rods 11 to rotate forward and reverse, and the forward and reverse rotation of the screw rods 11 realizes the lifting and lowering of the support frame 12. The lifting and lowering of the support frame 12 drives the lifting and lowering of the vacuum chamber 4. The lifting and lowering of the vacuum chamber 4 drives the lifting and lowering of the connecting tube 5 and the glass outer tube 6, so that the glass outer tube 6 penetrates the furnace body 2 and is located in the heating position, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and the glass outer sleeve 6 passes through the furnace body 2 and is moved outdoors to a cooling position, such as Figure 3 As shown, the glass outer sleeve 6 can be directly brought to room temperature after forming, which greatly improves the cooling speed compared to existing furnaces that cannot directly remove the product after heating. A slide 31 is provided on the right box panel of the control box 3. The slide 31 slides with the support frame 12 and is used to avoid the support frame 12 during the raising and lowering process.

[0026] Several cooling fans 7 are installed on the right panel of the control box 3. These fans are used to blow air toward the glass outer casing 6, thereby accelerating the cooling of the glass outer casing 6. The air inlet of the cooling fans 7 is connected to an air inlet duct, which is equipped with a filter plate for dust removal. The air inlet duct is also equipped with an air inlet solenoid valve for controlling the opening and closing of the air inlet duct.

[0027] The connecting tube 5 comprises several individual tube sections, each sealed and connected by a flange, allowing for easy adjustment of the connecting tube 5's length to accommodate glass outer tubes 6 of varying lengths. The bottom of the connecting tube 5 is sealed and plugged into the glass outer tube 6. A locking latch is also provided at the bottom of the connecting tube 5, securing the glass outer tube 6 and preventing it from accidentally falling. A removable end cap is also provided at the bottom of the connecting tube 5. When some connecting tubes 5 are not connected to the glass outer tube 6, the end cap is used to seal the unconnected connecting tube 5 to prevent vacuuming of the connected glass outer tube 6.

[0028] A mold is provided in the glass outer sleeve 6, and the mold is used to realize partial attachment and molding after the glass outer sleeve 6 is vacuumed and heated to soften. In order to ensure that the mold and the glass outer sleeve 6 are coaxially positioned, a push rod is provided in the connecting tube 5. The push rod is used to contact the top of the mold to support the mold, thereby cooperating with the glass outer sleeve 6 to tighten the mold, ensuring that the mold and the glass outer sleeve 6 are always coaxially positioned.

[0029] The inner wall of the furnace body 2 is provided with an insulation layer 21, which encloses a heating chamber and provides heat preservation. The top insulation layer 21 has longitudinal through-holes at positions opposite the workstation holes 23. These through-holes communicate with the workstation holes 23 and are used to pass through the glass outer sleeve 6. The bottom insulation layer 21 is provided with a heating wire 22, which is used to rapidly heat the heating chamber and, therefore, the glass outer sleeve 6. The insulation layer 21 is also provided with a temperature sensor, which monitors the temperature within the heating chamber.

[0030] The inner wall of the workstation hole 23 is covered with a sealing sleeve 24 made of high-temperature-resistant rubber. This sealing sleeve 24 contacts the outer wall of the glass outer sleeve 6 to achieve a seal. The top of the sealing sleeve 24 is provided with a flange that connects to the outer wall of the furnace body 2. A removable plug made of high-temperature-resistant rubber is attached to the sealing sleeve 24. When part of the workstation hole 23 does not need to pass through the glass outer sleeve 6, the plug is used to seal the workstation hole 23, thereby preventing the heat from escaping from the furnace body 2.

[0031] The control box 3 is also provided with a control panel 8, which is used to implement control and human-computer interaction. The input end of the control panel 8 is connected to the output end of the analog vacuum pressure gauge 9 and the temperature sensor, respectively. The output end of the control panel 8 is connected to the controlled end of the vacuum pump, vacuum solenoid valve 11, motor 10, air intake solenoid valve, cooling fan 7, and heating wire 22 of the furnace body 2, respectively, thereby realizing the control of the present invention.

[0032] When the present invention is in use, the glass outer sleeve 6 of the built-in mold is connected to the connecting pipe 5, and the vacuum pump is turned on to evacuate the glass outer sleeve 6. When the vacuum degree reaches the set value, the vacuum solenoid valve 11 is controlled to block the vacuum pipeline and the vacuum pump is turned off at the same time; the driving motor 10 drives the support frame 12 to descend, thereby driving the glass outer sleeve 6 to descend and penetrate into the furnace body 2, and the heating wire 22 is started to quickly heat the glass outer sleeve 6. After molding, the driving motor 10 drives the support frame 12 to rise, thereby driving the glass outer sleeve 6 to rise and penetrate out of the furnace body 2, so that the glass outer sleeve 6 is moved from the high temperature zone to room temperature for rapid cooling. At the same time, the cooling fan 7 is started to blow air to the glass outer sleeve 6 to dissipate heat, further accelerating the cooling of the glass outer sleeve 6.
