Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass production technology, specifically relating to a dust collection and cleaning device for float glass flow channels. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of float glass, sulfides and other dust are continuously generated, and these particles diffuse into the production environment during cleaning. The flow channel between the solder bath and the melting section is a relatively open structure, allowing dust to accumulate and easily enter the channel through open windows or gaps, thus affecting the quality of the molten glass. Therefore, the solder bath flow channel requires regular cleaning. Directly using compressed air for cleaning will severely impact production quality and could even lead to serious consequences. Ordinary electric vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, require a power connection for cleaning, and due to the high temperatures near the solder bath, ordinary power outlets are generally not available. Furthermore, the materials of ordinary vacuum cleaners cannot withstand the high temperatures in the flow channel, making their effectiveness questionable. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a convenient and quick dust collection device that can clean the tin bath channel anytime and anywhere.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model discloses a dust collection and cleaning device for float glass flow channels, the cleaning device comprising:
[0006] The first metal tube is a main tube, which is open and has one end bent and the other end straight.
[0007] A hole is provided next to the bent end of the first metal tube; a tapping thread is provided on the outer surface of the front part of the bent end;
[0008] The second metal tube is smaller in length and diameter than the first metal tube. The second metal tube is bent in the middle, and one end passes through the hole. Both ends of the second metal tube face the same direction. One end is located inside the first metal tube, and the other end is parallel to it and located outside the first metal tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the first metal tube is 45mm to 55mm; the bending angle of the bent end is 80° to 100°.
[0010] The straight end of the first metal tube is a flat opening or a small round opening.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second metal tube is 15mm to 25mm; the second metal tube and the first metal tube are sealed together at the contact hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the first metal tube is tightly connected to the suction head at the tapping position.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the second metal tube and the first metal tube are sealed together by welding at the contact hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This application makes full use of Bernoulli's principle in fluid mechanics, and uses compressed air in a simple and ingenious way to complete the dust collection operation of the flow channel. No external power supply is required, only the compressed air pipe on site is used. At the same time, the device is simple, except for the air pipe, it is made of welded steel pipes, which is low in cost and long in service life.
[0016] Meanwhile, this device can perform vacuuming operations in some narrow or special locations by changing the shape of the front suction port according to different usage scenarios.
[0017] Because this equipment is made entirely of metal, it can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for dust collection operations in high-temperature environments such as float glass production lines. Attached Figure Description
[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the float glass flow channel dust collection and cleaning device of this application;
[0019] In the figure, 1-front of the bent end, 2-second metal tube, 3-first metal tube, 4-hole, 5-suction head. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a dust collection and cleaning device for float glass flow channels. The cleaning device includes:
[0022] The first metal tube 3 is a main tube, which is open and has one end bent and the other end straight.
[0023] A hole 4 is provided next to the bent end of the first metal tube 3; a tapping thread is provided on the outer surface of the front part 1 of the bent end.
[0024] The second metal tube 2 has a shorter length and a smaller diameter than the first metal tube 3. The second metal tube 2 is bent in the middle, and one end passes through the hole 4. Both ends of the second metal tube 2 face the same direction. One end is located inside the first metal tube 3, and the other end is parallel to it and located outside the first metal tube 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the first metal tube 3 is 45mm to 55mm; the bending angle of the bent end is 80° to 100°; in order to provide greater suction, the straight end of the first metal tube 3 is a flat opening or a small round opening.
[0026] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second metal tube 2 is 15mm to 25mm; the second metal tube 2 and the first metal tube 3 are sealed together at the contact hole 4.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the solution provided in this embodiment involves bending the front end of a first steel pipe with a diameter of approximately 50 mm at approximately 90°, creating an opening at the upper end behind the bending point, and then bending a second steel pipe with an outer diameter of approximately 20 mm at 180° and inserting it into the pipe. The front end of the steel pipe is tapped so that it can be connected to the suction head 5.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the second metal tube 2 and the first metal tube 3 are sealed together by welding at the contact hole 4.
[0029] One end of the suction head 5 is threaded so that it can be tightly connected to the first steel pipe, and the other end is made into a flat or small round shape as needed for dust collection.
[0030] In use, connect the second steel pipe to the compressed air pipe and introduce compressed air. The gas passes through the second steel pipe into the first steel pipe and is blown towards the rear end. At this time, the gas flow rate at the front end of the first steel pipe increases, the pressure decreases, and a negative pressure is formed. Simply bring the suction head close to the location where dust needs to be suctioned to draw the dust into the first steel pipe and discharge it from the rear end. This completes the cleaning of the solder bath flow channel.
[0031] There are many specific applications of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
