[0026] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 It is shown that in the embodiment, a glass annealing lehr quick disassembly and assembly edge seal is provided, comprising: two symmetrical shells 1, the shell 1 is internally provided with a pop-up mechanism, one end of the shell 1 is connected with a front sealing cover 4, the other end is connected with a rear sealing cover 5, the shell 1 is internally connected with an inner shell 6, and one end of the inner shell 6 abuts against the pop-up mechanism, the two symmetrical shells 1 are connected with a roller 2 between them, one end of the roller 2 is connected with a support structure 3, and the inner shell 6 is internally provided with heat preservation material.

[0028] The two symmetrical shells 1 constitute the main body frame of the edge seal, which are matched with each other to wrap and protect the key parts of the annealing furnace from both sides, to provide a stable external environment for the internal roller 2 and the glass annealing process. The symmetrical design not only facilitates the convenience of installation and disassembly, but also ensures that the sealing and protection effect is relatively uniform in all directions. The pop-up mechanism arranged inside the shell 1 is one of the key components to realize the function of quick disassembly. During the installation process, the pop-up mechanism can be in a compressed or specific initial state, so that the inner shell 6 can be smoothly placed inside the shell 1 and accurately docked with the roller 2 and other components. When the edge seal needs to be disassembled, the pop-up mechanism releases energy or changes state, pushing the inner shell 6 to move outward, so that the connection or contact state between the inner shell 6 and the roller 2 is changed, facilitating the separation of the edge seal from the roller 2 and the relevant parts of the annealing furnace. The front sealing cover 4 and the rear sealing cover 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the shell 1, forming a complete sealing system. The front sealing cover 4 is close to the high-temperature area inside the annealing furnace, and its main function is to prevent the high-temperature hot gas, heat and possible glass dust and other substances in the annealing furnace from leaking into the space where other components of the edge seal are located, to ensure that the pop-up mechanism, the inner shell 6 and other internal components are not damaged or their performance is not reduced due to high temperature, and at the same time, to maintain the stability of the temperature field inside the annealing furnace, which is conducive to the control of the glass annealing quality. The rear sealing cover 5 faces the external environment, and its function is to block the impurities such as dust, moisture and cold air from entering the inside of the edge seal, to avoid the adverse effects of these external factors on the heat preservation material in the inner shell 6 and the entire edge seal structure, such as the reduction of heat insulation performance due to moisture absorption of the heat preservation material, rust and corrosion of metal components, etc. The inner shell 6, on the one hand, needs to have good high-temperature resistance and certain mechanical strength as a component that directly interacts with the roller 2, to withstand the heat transfer and possible slight mechanical vibration or collision generated by the roller 2 during operation, on the other hand, due to its connection with the pop-up mechanism, it can be flexibly adjusted in position with the help of the pop-up mechanism, to adapt to the state changes of the roller 2 under different working conditions. The inner shell 6 is filled with heat preservation material, which is the core design to improve the heat insulation performance of the edge seal. The roller 2, as a key component connecting the two symmetrical shells 1, is the carrier for the transmission of glass products in the glass annealing furnace. It undertakes the task of stable conveying of glass during the entire annealing process, to ensure that the glass can pass through the annealing furnace under the predetermined time and temperature conditions, to realize the elimination of internal stress and the stability of performance. The connection mode of the roller 2 and the shell 1 not only ensures that the roller 2 can rotate freely and smoothly, but also meets the sealing requirements, to prevent heat leakage and impurity intrusion, for example, special sealing bearings or sealing connecting sleeves and other components can be used to realize dynamic sealing between the roller 2 and the shell 1. The support structure 3 connected to one end of the roller 2 provides a solid and reliable support foundation for the roller 2. The support structure 3 usually includes bearing seats, brackets and other components, and its design and installation precision directly affects the running stability and service life of the roller 2.The high-precision support structure 3 can ensure the stability of the roller table 2 in the horizontal and vertical directions, reduce the vibration and deviation of the roller table 2 during rotation, and reduce the risk of defects such as scratches and cracks of the glass during transmission, and is also conducive to the stability and sealing of the whole edge sealing structure, and ensures the smooth progress of the glass annealing process.

[0029] In the embodiment, the sidewall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a clearance hole 8 with the same diameter as the roller table 2, the roller table 2 is located in the clearance hole 8, the port of the roller table 2 is rotationally connected with the support structure 3, the roller table 2 is sealingly connected with the clearance hole 8, the inner shell 6 is movably inserted into the outer shell 1 along one end of the front sealing cover 4, the pop-up mechanism comprises a fixed plate 9 located in the inner shell 1, one end of the fixed plate 9 is connected with a spring 11, the other end of the spring 11 is connected with a top plate 10, the inner shell 6 abuts against the sidewall of the top plate 10, the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12, the top plate 10 is connected with a sliding block 7 at both ends, the sliding block 7 is located in the sliding groove 12, and a cleaning cavity is formed between the fixed plate 9 and the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the cleaning cavity is located at one end of the rear sealing cover 5.

[0030] The clearance hole 8 provided on the side wall of the shell 1 has a key role, which provides a suitable installation space for the roller 2, so that the roller 2 can be accurately arranged in the edge sealing structure. The fixed plate 9 serves as the base fixing component of the entire pop-up mechanism, and is fixed at one end on the inner wall of the shell 1, thereby providing a stable support point for the spring 11, ensuring that the spring 11 will not be displaced or shaken during the extension and contraction process, and ensuring the reliability of the pop-up mechanism operation. When the inner shell 6 is inserted into the shell 1 during the installation of the edge sealing, the spring 11 will be in a compressed state, storing elastic potential energy. When the edge sealing needs to be disassembled, the compressed spring 11 releases the elastic potential energy, pushing the top plate 10 to move outward, thereby driving the inner shell 6 which is in abutment with the top plate 10 to pop out outward, so that the inner shell 6 and other components such as the roller 2 are separated, facilitating the operator to quickly disassemble the edge sealing from the relevant parts of the annealing furnace, greatly shortening the disassembly time, improving the efficiency of equipment maintenance and other operations. The top plate 10 is connected with the sliding block 7 at both ends, and the sliding block 7 is located in the sliding groove 12 provided on the inner wall of the shell 1. This design provides precise guidance and limiting effect for the movement of the top plate 10. When the spring 11 is extended and contracted to drive the top plate 10 to move, the sliding block 7 slides along the sliding groove 12, ensuring that the top plate 10 can only move smoothly in the predetermined direction, avoiding the top plate 10 from deviating, tilting or being stuck during the movement process, ensuring that the pop-up mechanism can accurately drive the inner shell 6 to perform corresponding actions every time, improving the working stability and repeatability of the entire pop-up mechanism, and ensuring the reliable realization of the function of quickly disassembling and assembling the edge sealing. The inner shell 6 is movably inserted into the shell 1 along one end of the front sealing cover 4. This design enables the inner shell 6 to be conveniently assembled with the pop-up mechanism and other related components inside the shell 1. During the installation process, the operator can smoothly insert the inner shell 6 into the shell 1 along the predetermined direction from the front end of the shell 1. During the insertion process, the inner shell 6 will gradually abut against the side wall of the top plate 10, pushing the top plate 10 to compress the spring 11, until the inner shell 6 is completely inserted in place. At this time, the pop-up mechanism is in a ready-to-use compressed energy storage state, and the entire edge sealing structure is installed, providing protection for the normal operation of the subsequent glass annealing furnace. During the long-term operation of the glass annealing furnace, some dust, impurities or a small amount of glass debris overflowing from the interior of the annealing furnace will inevitably enter the edge sealing structure. The existence of the cleaning cavity provides a relatively concentrated collection space for these impurities, avoiding their random accumulation around the pop-up mechanism, the inner shell 6 and other key components, thereby reducing the influence on the normal operation of these components and the probability of component wear, jamming and other faults caused by impurity accumulation.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] The operator inserts the inner shell 6 into the outer shell 1 along one end of the front sealing cover 4, and in the process of insertion, the inner shell 6 gradually abuts against the side wall of the top plate 10 in the pop-up mechanism, and because the top plate 10 is extruded by the inner shell 6, the spring 11 connected with the top plate 10 starts to compress, and the spring 11 starts to store elastic potential energy, and the sliding block 7 connected with the upper and lower ends of the top plate 10 slides along the sliding groove 12 formed in the inner wall of the outer shell 1, the sliding groove 12 precisely guides and limits the sliding block 7, so that the top plate 10 can only move smoothly backward along the predetermined direction, and abnormal conditions such as deviation, inclination or jamming of the top plate 10 during the whole process are avoided, and as the inner shell 6 is continuously inserted, until the inner shell 6 is completely inserted in place, at this time, the spring 11 is compressed to a certain extent, and the pop-up mechanism is in a ready-to-compress energy storage state;

[0033] At the same time, the roller 2 is rotatably connected with the support structure 3 through the port, and the roller 2 is located in the accommodation hole 8 formed in the side wall of the outer shell 1, and because the diameter of the accommodation hole 8 is the same as the diameter of the roller 2, the two can be closely matched, and the sealing connection between the roller 2 and the accommodation hole 8 is realized by using a sealing bearing or a sealing connecting sleeve, which effectively prevents heat leakage and impurity intrusion, and the front sealing cover 4 and the rear sealing cover 5 are connected with the two ends of the outer shell 1 respectively, forming a complete sealing system, the front sealing cover 4 blocks the high-temperature hot gas, heat and glass dust in the annealing furnace from entering the space where other components in the edge sealing are located, and the rear sealing cover 5 prevents impurities such as dust, moisture and cold air from entering, and thus, the edge sealing structure is completely installed, a stable external environment is created for the normal operation of the glass annealing furnace, and the stable transmission of the glass on the roller 2 is ensured, realizing the elimination of internal stress and performance stability during the annealing process.

[0034] When the edge sealing needs to be disassembled, for example, in the case of equipment maintenance or failure, the spring 11 in the compressed state and storing elastic potential energy starts to release the elastic potential energy, and drives the top plate 10 connected therewith to move outward, and in the moving process of the top plate 10, the sliding block 7 at the upper and lower ends of the top plate 10 still slides smoothly along the sliding groove 12, ensuring that the top plate 10 moves in the correct direction, and then drives the inner shell 6 abutting against the top plate 10 to pop out outward, so that the connection or contact state between the inner shell 6 and the roller 2 is changed, and the inner shell 6 gradually separates from the close-fitting state with the roller 2, at this time, the operator can conveniently separate the edge sealing from the roller 2 and the related parts of the annealing furnace, greatly shortening the disassembly time and improving the efficiency of equipment maintenance and other operations.

[0035] The utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, any person should know that the structural change made under the inspiration of the utility model, any technical scheme with the same or similar technical scheme of the utility model falls into the protection scope of the utility model, and the technical, shape and structure parts not described in the utility model are all known technologies.
