Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of quartz glass tube production and manufacturing, in particular to quartz flat tube processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's optical communication industry, semiconductor industry, and solar photovoltaic industry, the domestic quartz products industry has flourished. Quartz products produced by different processes include quartz tubes, quartz rods, quartz plates, etc.

[0003] Quartz glass tubes are special industrial technical glass made of silicon dioxide. They are an excellent basic material with a series of excellent physical and chemical properties. Quartz flat tubes are a special-shaped glass tube, generally with two opposite straight long sides and two opposite curved short sides. Flat glass tubes can be used in fields such as electric heating elements and optical elements, and are an important glass component. Existing flat glass tubes generally adopt a drawing process, that is, the feeding device cooperates with the platinum sleeve and the glass kiln to draw the molten quartz glass into a quartz round tube. The unhardened quartz round tube passes through the drawing die. Under the extrusion action of the drawing die, the quartz glass round tube becomes a flat tube with a certain thickness. The formed flat tube continues to move downward under the action of the traction wheel to achieve continuous drawing. The upper half of the die cavity has a circular cross-section, and the lower half has a flat cross-section. The change in the cavity is a gradual transition. Finally, the quartz glass tube leaves the mold. Under the action of the mold, the shape of the quartz glass tube is flat. By changing the cross-sectional shape and size of the lower half of the mold cavity, the size specifications of the flat tube can be adjusted. This molding method controls the shape and size of the quartz glass tube by controlling the mold. The specifications cannot be adjusted during the production process, and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto. Any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a quartz flat tube processing device. The device comprises a lathe 3 as the main body, with a workbench in the middle and two side panels on either side. Each panel has a groove in the middle of its upper end. A clamping mechanism 7 is located within the groove, which is used to clamp the quartz tube and rotate it to ensure uniform heating of all parts. A processing unit and control system are fixedly mounted on the workbench. The processing unit consists of a drive mechanism 6, a heating mechanism 2, and a forming mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 6 drives the forming mechanism 5 to clamp the quartz tube to form it into a flat quartz tube. The heating mechanism 2 is used to uniformly heat the quartz tube to be processed, facilitating subsequent production of the quartz flat tube. The control system is connected to the drive mechanism 6 and the heating mechanism 2 to control the synchronous operation of each process.

[0019] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 7 includes a fixed part and a rotating part. The fixed part is fixed on the processing lathe 3. The rotating part is placed inside the fixed part and hinged to the fixed part. The rotating part is used to clamp the quartz tube.

[0020] The drive mechanism 6 comprises a drive cylinder and a drive motor. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the lathe 3 and connected to the clamping mechanism 7 via a transmission mechanism. It drives the rotating member, which in turn drives the quartz tube. The drive motor is also connected to the two side plates of the lathe 3, driving them to move evenly outward to achieve the desired effect of tapering the quartz tube. The drive cylinder is fixedly mounted in the middle of the lathe 3 and connected to the forming mechanism 5, driving it to clamp or release the quartz tube.

[0021] The forming mechanism 5 comprises a top clamping plate 51 and a bottom clamping plate 52. Both are mounted on a drive cylinder and are movable. The two clamping plates are arranged horizontally on either side of the quartz tube and are driven by the drive cylinder to move toward or away from each other. During use, the drive cylinder drives the two clamping plates to translate toward each other, thereby clamping the quartz tube and flattening it to produce a flat quartz tube. After production is complete, the drive cylinder controls the two clamping plates to translate away from each other, releasing the quartz tube.

[0022] The heating mechanism 2 includes two heating torches, which are arranged in a vertical direction, respectively on the upper and lower sides of the quartz tube, and are both connected to the control system. Among them, one heating torch is used to heat the two ends of the quartz tube to facilitate the thinning process, and the other heating torch is in the shape of a strip with multiple fire outlets distributed on it. It is arranged horizontally below the quartz tube to facilitate the flattening work. When in use, when the thinning work is performed, the controller controls the opening of the upper heating torch to heat the two ends of the quartz tube. After the quartz tube is evenly heated, the drive motor drives the two side plates to move to thin the quartz tube. When the flattening process is performed, the controller controls the opening of the lower heating torch to heat the part of the quartz tube that needs to be flattened. After the part of the quartz tube that needs to be flattened is evenly heated, the drive cylinder drives the two clamps to move to achieve the flattening operation of the quartz tube.

[0023] Preferably, a blowing mechanism 1 is provided on the outside of both sides of the processing lathe 3. The two blowing mechanisms 1 are respectively connected to the two ends of the quartz tube and are used for ventilation during the processing of the quartz flat tube to promote the formation of the flat part.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] During use, the quartz tube to be processed is first cleaned and dried, and then the quartz tube is installed in the clamping mechanism 7 and clamped, and the driving motor is started to drive the clamping mechanism to drive the quartz tube to rotate, and the heating gun is controlled to start to heat the two ends of the quartz tube. After the quartz tube is heated, the driving motor is started to drive the two side plates to move outward to thin the two ends of the quartz tube; after the two ends of the quartz tube are thinned, the heating gun is used to heat the parts of the quartz tube that need to be flattened, and the blowing mechanism 1 is started to ventilate the quartz tube. At the same time, the clamping mechanism is controlled to stop rotating through the controller, and the driving cylinder is controlled to work to drive the top clamping plate 51 to clamp the quartz tube, so that the softened part of the quartz tube becomes flat, and the processing and preparation of the quartz flat tube is completed.

[0026] The utility model realizes the clamping and loosening movement by arranging a driving mechanism on a processing lathe and driving two clamping plates to move by a cylinder; arranging clamping mechanisms on both sides of the processing lathe to clamp the quartz tube, and driving the quartz tube to rotate by a driving motor; arranging heating mechanisms on both sides of the quartz tube and blowing mechanisms at both ends of the quartz tube; and controlling the driving cylinder, the driving motor, the blowing mechanism and the heating structure by a controller, thereby realizing synchronous movement among the mechanisms, thereby softening the quartz tube by heating through the heating mechanism, and clamping the softened quartz tube by the two clamping plates, thereby realizing the preparation of quartz flat tubes, realizing the preparation of quartz flat tubes of different specifications, and improving production efficiency.
