Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-purity infrared chalcogenide glass preparation technology, specifically a melting device for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass. Background Technology

[0002] High-purity infrared chalcogenide glass is a type of glass mainly composed of sulfides, selenides, and antimony compounds. It possesses excellent infrared transmittance and is widely used in infrared night vision, infrared thermometry, and infrared thermal imaging. This glass is an amorphous material formed by combining chalcogen elements, such as sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, with other metallic elements such as gallium and germanium. It exhibits excellent mid- and far-infrared transmittance, demonstrating superior infrared transmittance across a wide wavelength range.

[0003] The glass production process involves the use of melting equipment, which mainly includes different types of melting equipment such as glass kilns, glass melting furnaces, and glass electric melting furnaces. These devices melt the raw materials of glass according to different process requirements and technical characteristics, so as to facilitate subsequent processing and production, and thus produce different types of glass products.

[0004] Conventional smelting equipment requires removing the internal crucible structure for feeding or unloading materials, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards, thus affecting operational efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a melting device for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a melting apparatus for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a melting device for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass, comprising a base and an adjusting frame. The adjusting frame is vertically installed at the top left and right ends of the base, and a buffer frame is installed on the front side of the base. A melting assembly is connected to the side of the adjusting frame, and a top cover assembly is provided on the top of the melting assembly. The adjusting frame includes a support column, a rotating motor, a track column, a servo motor, and a lead screw. The rotating motor is installed at the upper end of the support column, and the track column is vertically installed at the top of the support column. The servo motor is installed at the top of the track column, and the bottom power output end of the servo motor is connected to the lead screw through a coupling.

[0008] Furthermore, the support column is fixedly installed on the surface of the base, and the track column and the support column are welded together.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer frame includes a buffer block, a stabilizing frame, a lifting column, and a telescopic rod. The stabilizing frame is connected to both the left and right sides of the buffer block, and a lifting column is vertically installed at the bottom of the end of the stabilizing frame away from the buffer block. A telescopic rod is horizontally installed at the bottom of the lifting column.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the telescopic rod away from the lifting column is fixedly connected to the base, and the telescopic rod and the lifting column are connected in an "L" shape.

[0011] Furthermore, the smelting assembly includes a smelting furnace, an induction heating coil, a connector, a connecting stake, and a fixing frame. The induction heating coil is spirally wrapped around the outside of the smelting furnace, and the two ends of the induction heating coil are connected to the connector. Connecting stakes are installed on both sides of the smelting furnace, and a fixing frame is vertically installed on the side of the smelting furnace.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting pile is connected to the rotating motor, the fixing frame is arranged in a circular array with the smelting furnace as the center, and the induction heating coil is installed between the rotating motor and the fixing frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper cover assembly includes an insulation cover, fixing posts, support arms, and sliders. Fixing posts are installed on both sides of the top of the insulation cover, and the upper end of the fixing posts is horizontally connected to the support arms. A slider is installed on the end of the support arms away from the fixing posts.

[0014] Furthermore, the slider is fixedly connected to the support arm, and the slider is slidably connected to the track column and the lead screw respectively. The bottom surface structure of the heat preservation cover matches the top surface structure of the smelting furnace.

[0015] This invention provides a melting apparatus for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model features symmetrically installed adjustment frames on the top of the base. The melting assembly is connected to the power output of the rotating motor via connecting piles on both sides, while the upper cover assembly is structurally connected to the track column and lead screw via a slider at one end of the support arm. When it is necessary to remove or add material to the melting assembly, the rotating motor can be used to tilt and rotate the entire melting assembly vertically, thereby lowering the top opening of the melting assembly. The upper cover assembly, under the operation of the servo motor, can drive the lead screw connected to it to rotate vertically, thereby moving the upper cover assembly vertically up and down along the surface of the track column and lead screw. The use of the above structure gives the entire device good structural flexibility, making it easy for operators to put glass raw materials into the melting furnace or take out molten glass from the melting furnace, thus ensuring operational convenience. The upper cover assembly, driven by the adjustment frames, can operate flexibly, reduce heat loss during the melting process of the melting assembly, and maintain the overall structural stability of the melting assembly during operation.

[0017] 2. This utility model, by installing a buffer frame on the front side of the base, uses a buffer block to provide structural buffer and structural obstruction for the melting component during tilting and resetting, preventing the melting component from falling and swinging due to structural failure of the rotating motor, and providing structural protection. As needed, the relative distance between the buffer block and the melting component can be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal directions by using the structural extension and retraction of the lifting column and telescopic rod, thereby maximizing the flexibility of the device and reducing damage to the device structure.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

The adjusting frame 2 is vertically mounted on the left and right ends of the top of the base 1, and a buffer frame 3 is mounted on the front side of the base 1. A melting assembly 4 is connected to the side of the adjusting frame 2, and a top cover assembly 5 is provided on the top of the melting assembly 4. The adjusting frame 2 includes a support column 201, a rotary motor 202, a track column 203, a servo motor 204, and a lead screw 205. The rotary motor 202 is mounted on the upper end of the support column 201, and the track column 203 is vertically mounted on the top of the support column 201. The servo motor 204 is mounted on the top of the track column 203, and the bottom power output end of the servo motor 204 is connected to the lead screw 205 through a coupling. The support column 201 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 1, and the track column 203 is welded to the support column 201. The top cover assembly 5 includes a heat insulation cover 501 and a fixing pile 502. Support arm 503 and slider 504, fixed piles 502 are installed on both sides of the top of the heat insulation cover 501, and the upper end of the fixed pile 502 is horizontally connected to the support arm 503. The end of the support arm 503 away from the fixed pile 502 is equipped with a slider 504. The slider 504 is fixedly connected to the support arm 503, and the slider 504 is slidably connected to the track column 203 and the lead screw 205 respectively. The bottom surface structure of the heat insulation cover 501 matches the top surface structure of the melting furnace 401. The operation of the rotating motor 202 can drive the entire melting assembly 4 to tilt and rotate in the vertical direction, thereby lowering the top opening of the melting assembly 4. The upper cover assembly 5 can be driven by the operation of the servo motor 204 to drive the lead screw 205 connected to it to rotate vertically, thereby driving the upper cover assembly 5 to move vertically up and down along the surface of the track column 203 and the lead screw 205.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the buffer frame 3 includes a buffer block 301, a stabilizing frame 302, a lifting column 303, and a telescopic rod 304. Stabilizing frames 302 are connected to both sides of the buffer block 301. A lifting column 303 is vertically installed at the bottom of the end of the stabilizing frame 302 furthest from the buffer block 301. A telescopic rod 304 is horizontally installed at the bottom of the lifting column 303. The end of the telescopic rod 304 furthest from the lifting column 303 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The telescopic rod 304 and the lifting column 303 are connected in an "L" shape. The smelting assembly 4 includes a smelting furnace 401, an induction heating coil 402, a connector 403, a connecting pile 404, and a fixing frame 405. The smelting furnace 401 is external to... An induction heating coil 402 is spirally wound around the furnace 401, and connectors 403 are connected to both ends of the induction heating coil 402. Connecting piles 404 are installed on both sides of the furnace 401, and a fixing frame 405 is vertically installed on the side of the furnace 401. The connecting piles 404 are connected to the rotating motor 202. The fixing frame 405 is arranged in a ring array with the furnace 401 as the center. The induction heating coil 402 is installed between the rotating motor 202 and the fixing frame 405. As needed, the relative distance between the buffer block 301 and the melting component 4 can be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal directions by using the structure of the lifting column 303 and the telescopic rod 304.

[0026] In summary, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the melting device for the production of infrared chalcogenide glass first uses the servo motor 204 at the top of the track column 203 to drive the lead screw 205 connected to its power output end to rotate axially in the vertical direction, so that the upper cover assembly 5 connected to the slider 504 at one end of the support arm 503 is simultaneously lifted vertically along the surface of the track column 203 and the lead screw 205.

[0027] Then, under the operation of the rotating motor 202 at the upper end of the support column 201, the melting component 4 connected to it by the connecting pile 404 is rotated and tilted so that the glass raw material is put into the interior of the melting furnace 401. After the raw material is put in, the structure of the adjusting frame 2 is used again to reset the melting component 4 and the upper cover component 5, and the heat preservation cover 501 is fastened to the top of the melting furnace 401.

[0028] During the resetting process of the smelting assembly 4, the lifting column 303 and the telescopic rod 304 are used to adjust the structure of the buffer block 301, thereby providing buffer protection for the smelting assembly 4. Then, the induction heating coil 402 is connected to the control device through the connector 403, and the raw materials inside the smelting furnace 401 are rapidly heated and melted by electromagnetic induction until the processing is completed.
