Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass processing, especially to a drying device for glass processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the glass processing industry, drying is an indispensable process. Glass often contains a certain amount of moisture during the manufacturing process. If it is not dried in time and properly, it will have a serious impact on the performance and quality of the glass.
[0003] Traditional drying devices have many shortcomings. The common drying methods are single-temperature drying or temperature-rapidly-increasing drying mode. In single-temperature drying, if the temperature is not set properly, it may not be dried thoroughly or cause glass deformation, cracking, and other problems due to local overheating. The temperature-rapidly-increasing drying mode greatly increases the risk of internal thermal stress of the glass. Glass is a material with a relatively small coefficient of thermal expansion. When the temperature changes rapidly, the inner and outer layers of the glass are not evenly heated, the outer layer expands or shrinks rapidly, and the inner layer changes relatively slowly, which causes a large thermal stress in the glass. When the thermal stress exceeds the strength limit of the glass, the glass will crack. This glass cracking problem caused by temperature changes seriously reduces the yield of glass products, increases production costs, and limits the production efficiency and product quality improvement of the glass processing industry. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a drying device for glass processing.
[0005] The drying device for glass processing provided by the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0006] A drying device for glass processing, comprising a feeding mechanism and a heating chamber, the feeding mechanism is arranged in the heating chamber, the heating chamber is designed in three sections, and the heating chamber specifically comprises a preheating zone, an intermediate heating zone, and a drying zone, the preheating zone is arranged at the initial end of the feeding direction of the feeding mechanism, the drying zone is arranged at the terminal end of the feeding direction of the feeding mechanism, the intermediate heating zone is arranged between the preheating zone and the drying zone, and the temperature of the drying zone is greater than that of the intermediate heating zone, which is greater than that of the preheating zone.
[0007] Preferably, the heating assembly further comprises a fan and an electric heater, the fan is arranged on the top of the drying area, a heating cavity I is arranged in the drying area, the electric heater is arranged in the heating cavity I, the air inlet of the fan penetrates through the heating cavity I and is aligned with the electric heater, the inner wall of the heating cavity I is provided with an air outlet, a heating cavity II is arranged in the intermediate heating area, a heating cavity III is arranged in the preheating area, the heating cavity II is communicated with the heating cavity I and the heating cavity III respectively, and the inner walls of the heating cavity II and the heating cavity III are also provided with air outlets.
[0008] Preferably, air inlets are arranged between the heating cavity II and the heating cavity I and between the heating cavity II and the heating cavity III, and valves are arranged on the air inlets.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the heating cavity I is inclined, and the air outlet of the inner wall of the heating cavity I is aligned with the feeding mechanism.
[0010] Preferably, the feeding mechanism comprises a conveying belt and a driving motor, the conveying belt penetrates through the preheating area, the intermediate heating area and the drying area, and the driving motor is in transmission connection with the conveying belt and is used for driving the conveying belt to convey the glass at a constant speed.
[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the heating chamber is provided with a heat insulation layer made of heat insulation material.
[0012] In summary, the utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] 1. When the fan is running, the heat generated by the electric heater will form a convection through the hot air in the heating cavity I, and the hot air will be transmitted from the heating cavity I to the heating cavity II and the heating cavity III. Due to the distance relationship between different heating cavities, the hot air will lose energy during the transmission process, so that the heating cavity far away from the heat source obtains relatively less heat, that is, the temperature in the preheating area is relatively low.
[0014] 2. When the glass just enters the heating chamber, it is in a normal temperature state, and the temperature of the preheating area will slowly heat the glass, so as to avoid the generation of excessive thermal stress on the surface and the inside of the glass due to the sharp change of temperature and prevent the glass from breaking, deforming and other quality problems due to sudden exposure to high temperature;
[0015] 3. The temperature of the intermediate heating zone is higher than the preheating zone, which further increases the temperature of the glass on the basis of the preheating zone, and this zone can make the glass continue to stably absorb heat on the basis of the preheating, and raise the temperature of the glass to a higher level, accelerate the migration of the water in the glass to the surface, and the drying zone is the highest temperature zone, in which the water on the surface and inside of the glass will evaporate rapidly to achieve the purpose of complete drying, the strong heat supply of this zone can make the glass reach the required drying degree, and the high temperature and high air volume (due to the fan arranged in this zone) can make the glass complete the final drying operation in a short time, and ensure that there is no water residue on the surface of the glass.
