Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, specifically to a broken glass chute device and a broken glass conveying system. Background Technology
[0002] In the float glass production process, a certain amount of broken glass is inevitably generated. This broken glass is usually fed into a belt conveyor via a specialized chute and transported to a broken glass storage bin. Existing broken glass chutes are mostly vertical channels, and the broken glass generates significant impact force due to gravity as it passes through, damaging the rubber surface of the conveyor belt. This not only shortens the service life of the conveyor belt, leading to increased equipment maintenance costs, but may also cause production line shutdowns due to conveyor belt failures, reducing production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an improved broken glass chute to effectively reduce the impact of falling broken glass, ensure better protection of the conveyor belt, and thus extend its service life. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of excessive impact of broken glass on the conveyor belt in existing broken glass chute devices. This invention provides a broken glass chute device and a broken glass conveying system. The broken glass chute device includes a vertical channel section and an inclined channel section connected to the side of the vertical channel section. A liner plate is installed inside the vertical channel section, abutting against the inner wall. The liner plate is detachably connected to the vertical channel section, and the height of the connection opening between the vertical and inclined channel sections is adjustable. This device reduces the impact of broken glass on the conveyor belt by changing the flow direction of the broken glass, ensuring better protection of the conveyor belt and extending its service life. It has a simple structure and significant effects.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A broken glass chute device, comprising
[0007] Vertical passageway section;
[0008] An inclined passage segment, which is connected to the side of the vertical passage segment;
[0009] The vertical channel section is equipped with a liner plate inside, which abuts against the inner wall of the vertical channel section. The height of the liner plate is adjustable at the connecting opening between the vertical channel section and the oblique channel section.
[0010] This invention provides a broken glass chute device, including a vertical channel section and an inclined channel section communicating with the side of the vertical channel section. A liner plate, which abuts against the inner wall of the vertical channel section, is detachably connected to the vertical channel section. The height of the liner plate at the opening connecting the vertical and inclined channel sections is adjustable. In use, broken glass enters from the top opening of the vertical channel section and falls to the liner plate, forming a certain accumulation of broken glass. The impact force is effectively attenuated in this area. Then, under the action of gravity and the remaining impact force, the broken glass falls along the inclined channel section. When the outflowing broken glass approaches the conveyor belt, its falling direction forms a certain angle with the surface of the conveyor belt, rather than falling vertically, reducing damage to the conveyor belt. Meanwhile, the height of the liner plate at the connecting opening of the vertical and inclined passage sections is adjustable, allowing for adjustment of the amount of broken glass accumulation and buffer distance according to the actual production volume, thus better achieving smooth transportation of broken glass. This device reduces the impact of glass on the conveyor belt by changing the flow direction of broken glass, ensuring better protection of the conveyor belt and extending its service life. It has a simple structure and obvious effect.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inclined channel section is a straight guide plate structure or a curved channel structure.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the buffer material layer is a rubber material layer or a polyurethane material layer.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the liner is inclined toward the inclined channel section.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the oblique channel segment is disposed at the bottom end of the vertical channel segment.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a buffer shield is provided at the exit of the inclined channel section.
[0018] Another objective of this invention is to provide a broken glass conveying system including the above-mentioned broken glass chute device.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. This utility model provides a broken glass chute device, including a vertical channel section and an inclined channel section connected to the side of the vertical channel section. The vertical channel section has a liner plate that abuts against the inner wall.

Example
[0034] In the float glass production process, a certain amount of broken glass is inevitably generated. This broken glass is usually fed into a belt conveyor via a specialized chute and transported to a broken glass storage bin. Existing broken glass chutes are mostly vertical channels, and the broken glass generates significant impact force due to gravity as it passes through, damaging the rubber surface of the conveyor belt. This not only shortens the service life of the conveyor belt, leading to increased equipment maintenance costs, but may also cause production line shutdowns due to conveyor belt failures, reducing production efficiency.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an improved broken glass chute, which can effectively reduce the impact of falling broken glass, ensure better protection of the conveyor belt, and thus extend its service life. The specific structure is as follows:
[0036] Including vertical passageway section 1;
[0037] An inclined passage segment 2, which is connected to the side of the vertical passage segment 1;
[0038] A liner 11 is provided inside the vertical channel section 1. The liner 11 abuts against the inner wall of the vertical channel section 1. The height of the liner 11 is adjustable at the connecting opening between the vertical channel section 1 and the oblique channel section 2.
[0039] In operation, broken glass enters through the top opening of the vertical channel section and falls onto the liner, forming a certain accumulation of broken glass. The impact force is effectively attenuated in this area. Then, under the influence of gravity and the remaining impact force, the broken glass falls along the inclined channel section. As the outflowing broken glass approaches the conveyor belt, its falling direction forms an angle with the belt surface, rather than falling vertically, reducing damage to the conveyor belt. Simultaneously, the height of the liner at the connecting opening between the vertical and inclined channel sections is adjustable, allowing for adjustments to the amount of broken glass accumulation and the buffer distance based on actual production volume, thus improving the smoothness of broken glass transport. This device reduces the impact of glass on the conveyor belt by changing the flow direction of the broken glass, ensuring better protection of the conveyor belt and extending its service life. It has a simple structure and significant effects.
[0040] In some embodiments, the oblique channel section 2 is a straight guide plate structure or a curved channel structure.
[0041] In some embodiments, the inclined channel section 2 forms an angle of 30° to 60° with the horizontal direction. Setting the angle to 30° to 60° not only better guides the broken glass to slide obliquely onto the conveyor belt, greatly reducing the impact force per unit area, but also better ensures the smooth transport of the broken glass.
[0042] In some embodiments, a cushioning material layer is provided on the inner wall of the vertical passage section 1 and on the top of the liner 11. The cushioning material layer not only provides some buffering against the falling broken glass but also provides some protection for the liner and the inner wall of the vertical passage section structure. Preferably, the cushioning material layer is a rubber material layer or a polyurethane material layer.
[0043] In some embodiments, the liner 11 is inclined toward the inclined channel section 2. The inclination of the liner toward the inclined channel section not only buffers the broken glass on the liner but also better ensures that the broken glass flows smoothly into the inclined channel.
[0044] In some embodiments, the liner 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the vertical channel section 1 by means of a slot or bolt connection.
[0045] Specifically, for example, the vertical channel section has several rows of bolt holes spaced apart circumferentially, with each row containing multiple bolt holes spaced longitudinally. In use, suitable bolt rods are installed in several bolt holes, and these bolt rods are positioned below the liner to form a support. The height and inclination of the liner are adjusted by changing the position of the bolt rods.
[0046] Specifically, the inner wall of the vertical channel section 1 can be adapted to the tilt setting of the liner 11. In some embodiments, the size of the liner can be changed according to the tilt setting or height adjustment to achieve the abutment and adaptation between the liner and the inner wall of the vertical channel section 1.
[0047] In some embodiments, the oblique channel segment 2 is located at the bottom end of the vertical channel segment 1.
[0048] In some embodiments, a buffer baffle 21 is provided at the exit of the inclined channel section 2. The buffer baffle can provide a certain blocking force when the broken glass is conveyed down, reducing the impact force of the broken glass on the conveyor belt and improving the service life of the conveyor belt.
[0049] In some embodiments, a broken glass conveying system is provided, including the broken glass chute device described above, and also including a crusher, a conveyor belt, and a broken glass storage room;
[0050] The outlet of the crusher is connected to the top opening of the vertical channel section, and the conveyor belt is located below the outlet of the inclined channel section; the glass chamber is connected to the conveyor belt.
[0051] In use, the broken glass is discharged from the outlet of the crusher and conveyed to the conveyor belt through the broken glass chute device. The conveyor belt then transports the broken glass to the broken glass storage room. The structure is simple and easy to promote and apply.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
