Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass processing, and in particular to a glass alignment device inside a tempering furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass processing industry, the conveying and heating of glass within a furnace via glass roller conveyors is a crucial process. This process requires not only smooth and continuous movement of the glass but also ensuring uniform heating to achieve the desired processing results. However, in actual production, the glass's movement along the roller conveyors within the furnace is often affected by various factors, leading to deviations in the glass's trajectory.

[0003] Specifically, the temperature distribution, uniformity of convection, and intensity within the furnace are the main factors affecting glass deviation. Due to the complexity and non-uniformity of the temperature field within the furnace, as well as the continuous changes in airflow, the glass is subjected to uneven thermal stress during heating, resulting in deviation. Furthermore, the design, manufacturing precision, and operating conditions of the glass roller conveyor also affect the stability of glass transport, further exacerbating deviation.

[0004] The problem of glass misalignment directly leads to a significant difference between the tilt angle of the glass conveyed by the roller conveyor and the angle of the glass sheet being loaded. This difference not only affects the subsequent processing accuracy and finished product quality of the glass, but also increases the breakage rate and rework rate, thus seriously affecting the yield rate of the finished glass. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the aforementioned problems with existing glass conveying systems, this paper aims to provide a glass alignment device inside a tempering furnace that improves processing quality and yield.

[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A glass alignment device for use in a tempering furnace, for installation on a glass roller conveyor within the tempering furnace, comprising:

[0008] A guide frame is provided above the glass roller conveyor, and at least two guide components are installed on the guide frame.

[0009] A first driving mechanism is connected to the correction frame for driving the correction frame to move along the conveying direction of the glass roller conveyor.

[0010] The second drive mechanism is connected to the straightening frame and is used to drive the straightening frame to rise and fall so that the two straightening frames descend to the surface of the glass roller conveyor.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the correction frame is arranged along the width direction of the glass roller conveyor, and the two correction components are distributed on both sides of the correction frame along the width direction of the glass roller conveyor.

[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the distance between the two correction components is less than the width of the glass.

[0013] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, each of the correction components is a round rod structure and is vertically distributed, and the top of the correction component is connected to the correction frame.

[0014] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, two mounting brackets are also included, which are located on both sides of the glass roller conveyor along the width direction of the glass roller conveyor.

[0015] The second driving mechanism includes two driving components, which are slidably mounted on the two mounting frames along the conveying direction of the glass roller conveyor, and the correction frame is mounted between the two driving components, and the correction frame is driven to rise and fall by the two driving components.

[0016] The first driving mechanism is connected to the two driving components for driving the two driving components to slide along the conveying direction of the glass roller conveyor, so as to drive the correction frame to move synchronously.

[0017] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, each of the aforementioned driving components may be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0018] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, each of the driving components has a slider, and the driving component is slidably mounted to the mounting bracket via the slider.

[0019] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the first driving mechanism includes two driving components, which are respectively connected to the two sliders for driving the two sliders to slide along the conveying direction of the glass roller conveyor.

[0020] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, each of the driving components includes a motor and a drive screw. The motor is mounted on the mounting frame, and the drive screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. One end of the drive screw is connected to the motor for transmission. The slider is threaded onto the outside of the drive screw. When the motor drives the drive screw to rotate, the slider slides on the mounting frame along the conveying direction of the glass roller conveyor.

[0021] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are:

[0022] (1) When the glass deviates, the second drive mechanism drives the correction frame to descend so that the bottom of the two correction components descends to the roller surface of the glass roller. At the same time, the first drive mechanism drives the correction frame to move along the conveying direction of the glass roller and makes its moving speed greater than the conveying speed of the glass roller. When the two correction components contact the rear end of the glass, the glass conveying angle is corrected under the action of the two correction components, thereby improving the processing quality and processing accuracy of the glass in the furnace, and thus improving the processing yield of the glass.

[0023] (2) In order to improve the accuracy of glass alignment, each alignment component in this utility model is a round rod structure. Attached Figure Description
