[0027] like Figure 1-3 The glass dryer shown includes a conveyor belt 1, and further includes:

[0028] Two upright plates 2 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1.

[0029] Support rollers 3 are arranged on opposite sides of the two upright plates 2, and the axis of the support rollers 3 is perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. The glass is placed vertically on the conveyor belt 1 and supported by the support rollers 3.

[0030] Wiper blade 4, the wiper blade 4 is arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the two base plates 2, the wiper blade 4 is used to scrape away water and other liquids from the glass surface;

[0031] The air knife 5 is arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the two base plates 2 and is also arranged in relation to the wiper blade 4. The air knife 5 is connected to an external high-pressure air pump. After the air knife 5 is connected to the high-pressure air pump, the air curtain produced can dry the surface of the glass to the greatest extent.

[0032] The dryer 6 is arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the two base plates 2 and is corresponding to the air knife 5. The dryer 6 dries the air-dried glass to prevent the generation of water vapor.

[0033] The wiper blade 4 is hinged to the inner wall of the vertical plate 2, and a compression spring 7 is fixed to one side of the adjacent air knife 5. The other end of the compression spring 7 is fixed to the vertical plate 2. The wiper blade 4 can remove water and other liquids from the glass surface by means of the elastic force of the compression spring 7, and can adapt to glass of different thicknesses.

[0034] The wiper blade 4 is connected to a stop block 8 on the side away from the air knife 5. The stop block 8 is fixed to the upright plate 2. The stop block 8 is set so that the wiper blade 4 will not stick to the inner wall of the upright plate 2 under the elastic force of the compression spring 7, which facilitates the wiping operation of the glass.

[0035] The upright plates 2 can move relative to each other through a connecting transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a threaded rotating rod, which consists of a first threaded section 9 at the front, a shaft section 10 in the middle, and a second threaded section 11 at the end. The shaft section 10 is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 1. The threads of the first threaded section 9 and the second threaded section 11 have opposite directions. The first threaded section 9 passes through one of the upright plates 2 and is threadedly connected to it, and the second threaded section 11 passes through the other upright plate 2 and is threadedly connected to it. When the threaded rotating rod rotates, the two upright plates 2 can move relative to each other, which is convenient for adapting to the drying operation of glass of different thicknesses and can adjust the pressing force of the support rollers 3 on the glass.

[0036] The upright plate 2 is equipped with movable wheels 12 to facilitate the relative movement of the two upright plates 2.

[0037] A mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 1, and a rolling bearing is sleeved on the mounting plate 13. The shaft segment 10 of the threaded rotating rod is sleeved on the rolling bearing, and the threaded rotating rod is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 1 by being sleeved on the rolling bearing.

[0038] A rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the threaded rotating rod, and a rotating handle is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel to facilitate rotating the threaded rotating rod.

[0039] In use, the following steps are taken: Rotating the threaded rotating rod drives the two vertical plates to move relative to each other, adjusting the support rollers to a suitable distance. The glass is then placed vertically on the conveyor belt and supported by the support rollers. The conveyor belt begins to move, and during this process, a scraper scrapes water from the glass surface. The air knife and dryer are activated to air-dry and dry the glass surface. After drying, the glass is conveyed to the discharge side by the conveyor belt, where it is collected and stored by the operator.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model.
