Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of substrate glass production technology, specifically a maintenance component for advancing electrodes in a substrate glass furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of melting the raw materials in the substrate glass furnace, a high-temperature electrode brick heater is required. After a period of use, the electrode brick heater needs to be advanced to ensure heating power. When the electrode brick heater needs to be advanced, if the nut is stripped or damaged, the electrode brick heater will not be able to advance. In the existing technology, production can be resumed by replacing the original advancement components, including the advancement bracket and the advancement screw. However, this method is costly, and since the electrode brick heater itself is electrified, there are safety hazards during the replacement of parts. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a maintenance component for electrode propulsion in a substrate glass furnace, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A maintenance assembly for electrode propulsion in a substrate glass melting furnace includes a furnace pool, an electrode brick heater, and a propulsion support. The electrode brick heater is slidably disposed in the furnace pool. The propulsion support is installed on the outside of the furnace pool on one side corresponding to the electrode brick heater. A propulsion mechanism is provided on the propulsion support for pushing the electrode brick heater and adjusting its position in the furnace pool. A maintenance assembly is provided on the side of the propulsion support frame corresponding to the propulsion mechanism for repairing damaged propulsion mechanisms.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the maintenance component includes a front clamping plate, a rear clamping plate, and a plurality of long screws. The front clamping plate is movably disposed on the front side of the propulsion bracket body corresponding to the propulsion mechanism, and the rear clamping plate is movably disposed on the rear side of the propulsion bracket body corresponding to the propulsion mechanism. The front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate are connected by a plurality of long screws.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of each of the multiple long screws is drilled into the front side of the front clamping plate and out the rear side of the rear clamping plate, and the drilled end is threaded with a third nut. The multiple third nuts are tightened and abut against the rear clamping plate. The multiple long screws and the multiple third nuts cooperate to connect the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate into a whole and firmly fix it to the front and rear sides of the propulsion bracket frame.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the propulsion mechanism includes multiple propulsion screws, which are arranged in pairs and symmetrically mounted on the propulsion bracket. Both ends of the multiple propulsion screws extend to the outside of the propulsion bracket. A through hole is provided on one side of the inner wall of the propulsion bracket corresponding to the multiple propulsion screws. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the propulsion screw. One end of the propulsion screw is movably inserted into the through hole.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the multiple push screws can be detachably connected to a push block at one end near the electrode brick heater. The multiple push blocks are all made of insulating material and are fixed to the electrode brick heater. The front side of the push support frame corresponding to the multiple through holes is welded and fixed with a first nut. One end of each of the multiple push screws is threaded into the first nut on the corresponding side.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a circular hole is provided at the center of the inner wall of both the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate, and one end of the push screw passes through the circular hole at the center of the inner wall of the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate in sequence and extends to one side of the electrode brick heater. The diameter of the circular hole is larger than the outer diameter of the push screw.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second nut is welded and fixed to the outside of the front clamping plate corresponding to the circular hole, and one end of the push screw is threaded into the second nut.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the push screw is threadedly engaged with the first nut. When the push screw is rotated, the screw will move to one side along the thread on the nut and drive the push block to move synchronously. When the push block abuts against the electrode brick heater, the screw can be continuously rotated to push the electrode brick heater into the furnace pool.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, when a first nut on the propulsion bracket is damaged or the thread hole between a first nut and the propulsion screw is stripped, the corresponding propulsion screw and push block are first disassembled and separated. Then, the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate are placed on the front and rear sides of the damaged frame respectively, and the front and rear clamping plates are tightly fixed to the front and rear sides of the frame with multiple long screws and multiple third nuts. After fixing, one end of the propulsion screw is drilled into the second nut on the front clamping plate and out through the round hole on the rear clamping plate, so that one end of the propulsion screw extends to one side of the electrode brick heater. Finally, the current one end of the propulsion screw is reconnected and fixed to the corresponding push block to complete the maintenance work. The maintenance components in this device can restore the propulsion mechanism to use without disassembling or replacing the entire propulsion bracket and propulsion mechanism. Installation and maintenance are convenient and save production costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings and description, similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals. Furthermore, in practical applications, the shape, thickness, or height of each component may be enlarged or reduced. The embodiments listed in this utility model are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Any obvious modifications or alterations made to this utility model do not depart from its spirit and scope.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the present invention, a maintenance component for advancing electrodes in a substrate glass melting furnace includes a furnace pool 1, an electrode brick heater 2, and an advance support 3. The electrode brick heater 2 is slidably disposed in the furnace pool 1. The advance support 3 is installed on the side of the furnace pool 1 corresponding to the electrode brick heater 2. An advance mechanism 4 is provided on the advance support 3. The advance mechanism 4 is used to push the electrode brick heater 2 and adjust its position in the furnace pool 1. A maintenance component 5 is provided on the side of the advance support 3 corresponding to the advance mechanism 4. The maintenance component 5 is used to repair the damaged advance mechanism 4.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-4 The propulsion mechanism 4 includes multiple propulsion screws 41, which are arranged in pairs and symmetrically mounted on the propulsion bracket 3. Both ends of the multiple propulsion screws 41 extend to the outside of the propulsion bracket 3. A through hole 31 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the propulsion bracket 3 corresponding to the multiple propulsion screws 41. The diameter of the through hole 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the propulsion screw 41, and one end of the propulsion screw 41 is movably inserted into the through hole 31.

[0026] Multiple push screws 41 are detachably connected to push blocks 43 at one end near the electrode brick heater 2. The push blocks 43 are all made of insulating material and are fixed to the electrode brick heater 2. The front side of the push support 3 corresponding to the multiple through holes 31 is welded and fixed with first nuts 42. One end of the multiple push screws 41 is threaded into the first nut 42 on the corresponding side. The push screws 41 and the first nuts 42 are threadedly engaged. When the push screws 41 are rotated, the screws will move to one side along the threads on the nuts and drive the push blocks 43 to move synchronously. When the push blocks 43 abut against the electrode brick heater 2, the screws can be continuously pushed into the furnace pool 1 by continuing to rotate the screws.

[0027] Please see Figures 5-6The maintenance component 5 includes a front clamping plate 51, a rear clamping plate 52, and multiple long screws 54. The front clamping plate 51 is movably disposed on the front side of the propulsion support 3 corresponding to the propulsion mechanism 4, and the rear clamping plate 52 is movably disposed on the rear side of the propulsion support 3 corresponding to the propulsion mechanism 4. The front clamping plate 51 and the rear clamping plate 52 are connected by multiple long screws 54. One end of each long screw 54 is drilled into the front side of the front clamping plate 51 and drilled out from the rear side of the rear clamping plate 52. The drilled end is threaded with a third nut 55. The multiple third nuts 55 are tightened and abut against the rear clamping plate 52.

[0028] Multiple long screws 54 and multiple third nuts 55 cooperate to connect the front clamping plate 51 and the rear clamping plate 52 into a whole and firmly fix it to the front and rear sides of the pusher bracket 3. A round hole 56 is opened at the center of the inner wall of the front clamping plate 51 and the rear clamping plate 52. One end of the pusher screw 41 passes through the round hole 56 at the center of the inner wall of the front clamping plate 51 and the rear clamping plate 52 and extends to one side of the electrode brick heater 2. The diameter of the round hole 56 is larger than the outer diameter of the pusher screw 41. A second nut 53 is welded and fixed to the outside of the front clamping plate 51 corresponding to the round hole 56. One end of the pusher screw 41 is threaded into the second nut 53.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When a first nut 42 on the push bracket 3 is damaged or the thread hole between a first nut 42 and the push screw 41 is stripped, it is not necessary to replace the entire push bracket 3 and the push mechanism 4. It is only necessary to install the repair component 5 at the damaged first nut 42. Specifically, first, disassemble the corresponding push screw 41 and push block 43, then place the front clamp 51 and the rear clamp 52 on the front and rear sides of the damaged frame respectively, and use multiple long screws 54 and multiple third nuts 55 to firmly fix the front and rear clamps to the front and rear sides of the frame.

[0031] After fixing, drill one end of the push screw 41 into the second nut 53 on the front clamping plate 51 and out through the round hole 56 on the rear clamping plate 52, so that one end of the push screw 41 extends to one side of the electrode brick heater 2. Finally, reconnect and fix one end of the current push screw 41 to the corresponding push block 43 to complete the maintenance work. The push mechanism 4 can be put back into use. With the maintenance component 5 in this device, the push mechanism 4 can be put back into use without disassembling or replacing the entire push bracket 3 and the push mechanism 4. The installation and maintenance are relatively convenient and save production costs.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. 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.
