Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of flat glass, the glass sheets need to be annealed. During the annealing process, tin will adhere to the bottom of the glass sheet, causing the tin to stick to the rollers of the annealing furnace. During the annealing process, the glass sheet may crack. After the glass sheet cracks, the broken glass fragments will stick to the rollers of the annealing furnace, resulting in various defects on the bottom of the subsequent glass sheets, such as tin ash marks, scratches, and dents on the bottom.
[0003] Therefore, the rollers in the annealing kiln need to be cleaned. However, the annealing kiln is a high-temperature equipment, with the temperature in the enclosed area ranging from 140 degrees Celsius to 600 degrees Celsius. This poses certain safety hazards to the workers when cleaning the rollers in the annealing kiln.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new cleaning device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a cleaning device that aims to improve the technical problem of safety hazards in the roller cleaning of annealing kilns in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a cleaning device for cleaning annealing kiln rollers, comprising:
[0007] The cleaning head includes a mounting frame and a wiping tool. The mounting frame has an opening groove, and the wiping tool is mounted in the opening groove and is used to contact the annealing kiln roller.
[0008] A connecting component, wherein the mounting frame is inclinedly disposed at one end of the connecting component along the length direction of the connecting component.
[0009] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a counterweight, and a placement frame is provided at the end of the connecting component away from the mounting frame, and the counterweight is mounted on the placement frame.
[0010] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the connecting component is provided with scale lines arranged along the length direction of the connecting component.
[0011] In one embodiment, the cleaning head further includes two clamping members, the mounting frame forms two oppositely arranged mounting holes, the two mounting holes and the opening groove are interconnected, the two clamping members are telescopically mounted in the two mounting holes respectively, and respectively abut against both sides of the wiping tool.
[0012] In one embodiment, the connecting component is provided with a rotating shaft, and the mounting frame is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft.
[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the rotating shaft is disposed at one end of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod has a telescopic hole, and the first connecting rod is telescopically disposed within the telescopic hole.
[0014] In one embodiment, a first adjustment hole is provided on the wall of the first connecting rod, and a second adjustment hole is formed on the wall of the second connecting rod, which communicates with the telescopic hole. The cleaning device further includes a fastener, which passes through the second adjustment hole and is installed in the first adjustment hole to fix the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to each other.
[0015] In one embodiment, there are multiple first adjustment holes, multiple second adjustment holes, and at least one fastener, which is installed through one of the first adjustment holes and into one of the second adjustment holes.
[0016] In one embodiment, the wiping tool is a graphite block, a wooden block, or a foam block.
[0017] In one embodiment, the connecting component is a square steel rod.
[0018] In the above scheme, the cleaning device is used to clean the annealing kiln rollers. The cleaning device includes a cleaning head and a connecting assembly. The cleaning head includes a mounting frame and a wiping tool. The mounting frame has an opening groove, and the wiping tool is installed in the opening groove to contact the annealing kiln rollers. The mounting frame is inclined at one end of the connecting assembly along its length. First, the wiping tool is installed in the mounting frame with the tool extending out of the frame to contact the annealing kiln rollers. The mounting frame is then inclined onto the connecting assembly, preferably along its length. This completes the installation of the cleaning device. When cleaning the annealing kiln rollers, the operator holds the connecting assembly, inserts the cleaning head into the annealing kiln, and moves the connecting assembly so that the wiping tool in the mounting frame contacts the annealing kiln rollers. Then, the annealing kiln rollers are rotated, or the operator drags the connecting assembly back and forth. This allows the wiping tool to remove broken glass or tin adhering to the annealing kiln rollers. The cleaning effect is improved because the mounting frame is tilted, and the wiping tool mounted on it is also tilted. This increases the contact area between the wiping tool and the annealing kiln rollers, allowing for better contact and improved cleaning efficiency. The central connection between the connecting component and the mounting frame allows operators to insert the wiping tool into the annealing kiln from outside, keeping them away from the high temperatures and reducing safety hazards. Furthermore, the tilted mounting frame ensures better contact between the wiping tool and the annealing kiln rollers, further enhancing the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[0029] In the production of flat glass, the glass sheets need to be annealed. During the annealing process, tin will adhere to the bottom of the glass sheet, causing the tin to stick to the rollers of the annealing furnace. During the annealing process, the glass sheet may crack. After the glass sheet cracks, the broken glass fragments will stick to the rollers of the annealing furnace, resulting in various defects on the bottom of the subsequent glass sheets, such as tin ash marks, scratches, and dents on the bottom.
[0030] Therefore, the rollers in the annealing kiln need to be cleaned. However, the annealing kiln is a high-temperature equipment, with the temperature in the enclosed area ranging from 140 degrees Celsius to 600 degrees Celsius. This poses certain safety hazards to the workers when cleaning the rollers in the annealing kiln.
[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model proposes a cleaning device 100 for cleaning annealing kiln rollers. The cleaning device 100 includes a cleaning head 1 and a connecting assembly 2. The cleaning head 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a wiping tool 12. The mounting frame 11 has an opening groove 111. The wiping tool 12 is installed in the opening groove 111 and is used to contact the annealing kiln rollers. The mounting frame 11 is inclined at one end of the connecting assembly 2 along the length direction of the connecting assembly 2. First, install the wiping tool 12 in the mounting frame 11, with the wiping tool 12 extending out of the mounting frame 11. The wiping tool 12 is used to contact the annealing kiln rollers. The mounting frame 11 is then installed at an angle on the connecting assembly 2, preferably tilted along the length of the connecting assembly 2. This completes the installation of the cleaning device 100. When cleaning the annealing kiln rollers, the operator holds the connecting assembly 2, inserts the cleaning head 1 into the annealing kiln, and then moves the connecting assembly 2 so that the wiping tool 12 in the mounting frame 11 contacts the annealing kiln rollers. The annealing kiln rollers are then rotated, or the operator drags the connecting assembly 2 back and forth. This allows the wiping tool 12 to remove glass shards or debris adhering to the annealing kiln rollers. After the tinning process is completed, and because the mounting frame 11 is tilted, the wiping tool 12 installed in the mounting frame 11 is also tilted. This increases the contact area between the wiping tool 12 and the annealing kiln rollers, allowing for better contact and improved cleaning. The central connection of the connecting component 2 to the mounting frame 11 allows operators to insert the wiping tool 12 from outside the annealing kiln, keeping them away from the high temperatures and reducing safety hazards. Furthermore, the tilted mounting frame 11 ensures better contact between the wiping tool 12 and the annealing kiln rollers, further enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the cleaning device 100 further includes a counterweight 3. A placement frame 25 is provided at the end of the connecting component 2 away from the mounting frame 11, and the counterweight 3 is installed in the placement frame 25. The mounting frame 11 is provided at the end of the connecting component 2 away from the mounting frame 11, that is, a placement frame 25 with a length of 400mm and a width of 150mm is horizontally installed at the tail of the connecting component 2 using 16mm round steel. This facilitates the addition of a counterweight 3 of suitable size and weight to the placement frame 25. After adding the counterweight 3, the operator does not need to hold the connecting component 2 continuously, allowing the operator to stay further away from the annealing kiln, further avoiding prolonged work in a high-temperature environment and further ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0033] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the outer surface of the connecting component 2 is provided with scale lines 21 arranged along the length direction of the connecting component 2. Specifically, during production, scale lines 21 are engraved on the outer surface of the connecting component 2 along the length direction of the connecting component 2. This allows the part of the connecting component 2 and the mounting frame 11 to be inserted into the annealing furnace, and the insertion position can be determined according to the scale lines 21. This facilitates the wiping tool 12 to clean each roller in the annealing furnace, ensuring that no area is missed during wiping and polishing.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the cleaning head 1 further includes two clamping members 13. The mounting frame 11 forms two oppositely arranged mounting holes, which are interconnected with the opening slot 111. The two clamping members 13 are telescopically mounted in the two mounting holes and abut against both sides of the wiping tool 12. After the wiping tool 12 is placed in the mounting frame 11, one clamping member 13 is passed through one mounting hole and abuts against one side of the wiping tool 12. Then, the other clamping member 13 is passed through the other mounting hole and abuts against the other side of the wiping tool 12. In this way, the wiping tool 12 can be clamped by the two clamping members 13, so that the wiping tool 12 will not fall off when wiping and polishing the annealing kiln rollers.
[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the connecting component 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 22, and the mounting frame 11 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 22. By providing the rotating shaft 22, the mounting frame 11 can have more rotation angles, which allows the wiping tool 12 to be used with more types of rollers, thus expanding the applicability of the cleaning device 100.
[0036] See also Figure 3In one embodiment, the connecting assembly 2 includes a first connecting rod 23 and a second connecting rod 24. A rotating shaft 22 is disposed at one end of the first connecting rod 23, and the second connecting rod 24 forms a telescopic hole 241. The first connecting rod 23 is telescopically disposed within the telescopic hole 241. Specifically, depending on the model and size of the annealing kiln, the first connecting rod 23 can extend out of or retract into the telescopic hole 241, so that the length of the connecting assembly 2 can meet the cleaning and wiping needs of any roller in the annealing kiln. This arrangement expands the applicability of the cleaning device 100.
[0037] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, a first adjustment hole 231 is provided on the wall of the first connecting rod 23, and a second adjustment hole 242 is formed on the wall of the second connecting rod 24, which communicates with the telescopic hole 241. The cleaning device 100 also includes a fastener 4, which passes through the second adjustment hole 242 and is installed in the first adjustment hole 231 to fix the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 to each other. Specifically, when the first connecting rod 23 extends out of the second connecting rod 24, the first adjustment hole 231 and the second adjustment hole 242 are aligned, and then the fastener 4 is installed in the first adjustment hole 231 by passing through the second adjustment hole 242. In this way, the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 are firmly connected. By setting this structure, the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 can be firmly connected, while facilitating disassembly, replacement and maintenance.
[0038] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, there are multiple first adjustment holes 231 and multiple second adjustment holes 242. At least one fastener 4 is provided, passing through one of the first adjustment holes 231 and installed in one of the second adjustment holes 242. When the length of the connecting assembly 2 needs to be adjusted, the operator removes the fastener 4 from the first adjustment hole 231 and the second adjustment hole 242, then extends the second connecting rod 24 out of the first connecting rod 23 until the connecting assembly 2 extends to the appropriate length. The fastener 4 is then passed through one of the first adjustment holes 231 and one of the second adjustment holes 242, thus locking the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24. The adjustment distance can be determined based on the spacing between each second adjustment hole 242. This structure allows for length adjustment as needed, enabling the cleaning device 100 to wipe any roller in the annealing furnace.
[0039] In one embodiment, the wiping tool 12 is a graphite block, a wooden block, or a foam block. Graphite blocks have good high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for cleaning rollers in the high-temperature environment of an annealing furnace. Graphite blocks also have excellent lubrication, reducing friction between the rollers and the glass plate and protecting the roller surface from damage. Graphite blocks are resistant to most chemicals and are unlikely to react with chemicals that may be present in the annealing furnace. If wooden blocks are used, wood is cheaper and easier to obtain than other materials. Wooden blocks will not cause physical damage such as scratches to the rollers, while effectively removing dust and impurities from the rollers. Foam blocks are lightweight and soft, effectively preventing scratches on the roller surface. Foam blocks can effectively absorb dust and fine particles, helping to improve cleaning efficiency.
[0040] In one embodiment, the connecting component 2 is a square steel rod. The square steel rod has high tensile and compressive strength, and can withstand large loads, thus supporting the mounting frame 11. During use, the square steel rod has excellent rigidity and stability in all directions and is not easily deformed.
[0041] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
