Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an automatic grinding and cleaning machine for ceramic rollers of tempering furnaces without disassembly, including a frame 1, a PLC controller 2 mounted on the side of the frame 1, a position adjustment mechanism 3 mounted inside the PLC controller 2, a lifting mechanism 4 mounted at the bottom of the adjustment part of the position adjustment mechanism 3, a dust collection box 6 fixed on the lifting part of the lifting mechanism 4, and a vacuum cleaner 7 connected to the inside of the dust collection box 6 mounted on the top of the dust collection box 6, a cleaning nozzle 9 mounted on the side of the dust collection box 6, the cleaning nozzle 9 connected to an external cleaning liquid supply system via a water pipe 8, and a mounting plate 10 fixed at the bottom of the dust collection box 6. The mounting plate 10 is equipped with a flexible polishing component 5. The PLC controller 2 is electrically connected to the vacuum cleaner 7 and the external power supply. The dust generated during the polishing process enters the dust collection box 6 and is then collected by the vacuum cleaner 7. During the polishing process, the external cleaning fluid supply system delivers cleaning fluid to the cleaning nozzle 9 through the water pipe 8. The cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the surface of the ceramic roller through the cleaning nozzle 9 to perform the cleaning operation. The dust collection structure ensures the cleanliness of the cleaning environment, thereby effectively improving the cleanliness and smoothness of the ceramic roller surface and thus improving the production quality of tempered glass.
[0021] The position adjustment mechanism 3 includes a guide rod 32 and a sliding seat 34. The end of the guide rod 32 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the sliding seat 34 is slidably connected to the guide rod 32. The position adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a lead screw 31, a transmission nut 33, and a servo motor 35. The lead screw 31 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the frame 1. The transmission nut 33 is fixed on the sliding seat 34 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 31. The servo motor 35 is mounted on the side of the frame 1, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 31. The servo motor 35 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The lifting mechanism 4 includes an electric push rod 41 and a connecting block 42. The electric push rod 41 is mounted on the bottom of the sliding seat 34. The connecting block 42 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 and is fixedly connected to the top of the dust collection box 6. The electric push rod 41 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 35 drives the lead screw 31 to rotate. The lead screw 31 and the transmission nut 35 are connected to the PLC controller 2. The 33-thread drive, with the transmission nut 33 driving the sliding seat 34 to slide along the guide rod 32, adjusts the grinding position of the flexible grinding component 5, allowing it to reciprocate along the axial direction of the ceramic roller. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 drives the dust collection box 6 to move up and down via the connecting block 42, thereby adjusting the distance between the flexible grinding component 5 and the ceramic roller. This allows for grinding and cleaning operations without disassembling the ceramic roller, significantly reducing equipment downtime and enabling the tempering furnace to operate continuously and stably, thus improving production efficiency. It avoids damage to the ceramic roller caused by frequent disassembly and installation. At the same time, precise grinding and cleaning effectively removes impurities and scale, maintaining the surface of the ceramic roller in good condition, extending its service life, and reducing equipment maintenance costs. It also reduces manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, and improves the convenience and reliability of production management.
[0022] The flexible grinding assembly 5 includes a grinding head 51, a movable rod 53, and a limiting block 54. Several movable rods 53 are provided, each connected vertically to the mounting plate 10. The grinding head 51 is fixed to the bottom of the movable rod 53, and the limiting block 54 is fixed to the top of the movable rod 53 and positioned above the mounting plate 10. The flexible grinding assembly 5 also includes a spring 52, which is sleeved on the movable rod 53 and positioned between the mounting plate 10 and the grinding head 51. During grinding, the grinding head 51 contacts the surface of the ceramic roller, pushing the movable rod 53 to move relative to the mounting plate 10. At this time, the spring 52 is compressed and deformed, and the deformation force of the spring 52 reacts to the grinding head 51, thus pressing the grinding head 51 firmly against the surface of the ceramic roller. During its movement, the movable rod 53 drives the limiting block 54 to move up and down, adapting to the surface shape of the ceramic roller, thereby ensuring the grinding effect.
[0023] The working principle of the automatic grinding and cleaning machine for tempering furnace ceramic rollers without disassembly provided by this utility model is as follows: The output shaft of the servo motor 35 drives the lead screw 31 to rotate. The lead screw 31 is threadedly driven by the transmission nut 33. The transmission nut 33 drives the sliding seat 34 to slide along the guide rod 32, thereby adjusting the grinding position of the flexible grinding component 5. This allows the flexible grinding component 5 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the ceramic roller. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 drives the dust collection box 6 to move up and down through the connecting block 42, thereby adjusting the distance between the flexible grinding component 5 and the ceramic roller. The dust generated during the grinding process enters the dust collection box. Inside the dustbin 6, dust is collected by the vacuum cleaner 7. During the polishing process, the polishing head 51 contacts the surface of the ceramic roller. The polishing head 51 pushes the movable rod 53 to move relative to the mounting plate 10. At this time, the spring 52 is compressed and deformed. The deformation force of the spring 52 acts on the polishing head 51, so that the polishing head 51 is pressed against the surface of the ceramic roller. During the movement, the movable rod 53 drives the limit block 54 to move up and down. During the polishing process, the external cleaning fluid supply system delivers cleaning fluid to the cleaning nozzle 9 through the water pipe 8. The cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the surface of the ceramic roller through the cleaning nozzle 9, thereby cleaning it.
