Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass tempering equipment technology, and in particular to a mechanism for vibrating and removing glass shards accumulated in the air grid. Background Technology

[0002] When the glass tempering unit is working, sometimes the glass will break during the rapid cooling in the cooling section. The glass shards will fall onto the aluminum profile of the air nozzle with the lower air grille facing upward and accumulate, affecting the air outlet of the air nozzle and interfering with the upward movement of the air nozzle profile towards the glass.

[0003] The solution used by most manufacturers is to clean manually on a regular basis. The drawbacks of manual cleaning are: first, the space inside the air grille is limited, making it difficult to reach the center and apply force, which is very inconvenient; second, the cleaning area is relatively large, making it time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that it is very difficult to manually clean glass shards on the lower air grates of glass tempering units in the prior art, and to propose a mechanism for vibrating to remove accumulated glass shards from the air grates.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mechanism for vibrating to remove glass shards accumulated in a wind grid includes a guide rod mounted on a frame, a guide seat connected to a lower wind grid assembly, and a vibration motor mounted at the end of the lower wind grid assembly. The lower wind grid assembly and the frame are movably connected in the vertical direction through the guide rod and the guide seat, and a buffer gap is provided between the guide rod and the guide seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide rod includes an upper rod body located at the top and a lower rod body located at the bottom. The outer diameter of the upper rod body is larger than the outer diameter of the lower rod body. The guide seat includes a guide hole. The guide seat is connected to the lower air grille assembly. The guide seat has a guide hole inside that corresponds to the upper rod body.

[0008] Furthermore, a frustum step is provided between the upper rod and the lower rod, with the top and bottom ends of the frustum step corresponding to the upper rod and the lower rod, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a buffer seat for receiving the guide seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer seat includes a support plate and a buffer spring. The support plate has a buffer through hole inside, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the lower rod. The lower rod passes through the buffer through hole, and there is a gap between the buffer through hole and the lower rod. A buffer spring is provided between the bottom of the support plate and the frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided at the top of the support plate, and a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting block is provided at the bottom of the guide seat;

[0012] The distance between the top of the support plate and the bottom of the upper rod is greater than the height of the guide seat.

[0013] Furthermore, a frustum groove is formed at the top of the guide hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mechanism for vibrating and removing glass shards accumulated in a wind grid, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model discloses a mechanism for vibrating and removing glass shards accumulated on a wind grille. When glass shards need to be removed, a vibration motor is started, which drives the lower wind grille assembly to vibrate at a high frequency and low amplitude, shaking off the glass shards accumulated on the lower wind grille assembly. During the vibration process, a buffer gap is used to prevent the vibration from being transmitted from the lower wind grille assembly to the frame and other structures, thus effectively replacing manual cleaning of glass shards, with good cleaning effect and saving time and effort.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a mechanism for vibrating and removing glass shards accumulated in a glass grille. It includes a guide rod 1 mounted on a frame 4, a guide seat 2 connected to a lower glass grille assembly 5, and a vibration motor 6 mounted on one end of the smaller end of the lower glass grille assembly 5. A hoisting mechanism is provided above the lower glass grille assembly 5. The hoisting mechanism is mounted on the frame 4 and is connected to the lower glass grille assembly 5 by a chain hoisting. During operation, the hoisting mechanism drives the lower glass grille assembly 5 to move upward and blow cold air onto the glass. After the cold air blowing action is completed, the hoisting mechanism lowers the lower glass grille assembly 5.

[0026] The guide seat 2 is slidably mounted on the surface of the guide rod 1 in the vertical direction. The lower air grille assembly 5 and the frame 4 are movably connected in the vertical direction through the guide rod 1 and the guide seat 2. When the hoisting mechanism moves the lower air grille assembly 5 up and down, the guide rod 1 provides guidance for the lower air grille assembly 5 to prevent the lower air grille assembly 5 from shifting during movement, which would cause the air nozzle to blow air onto the glass in a misaligned position.

[0027] A buffer gap is provided between the guide rod 1 and the guide seat 2. The buffer gap is used to isolate the vibration transmitted from the vibration motor 6 and the lower air grille assembly 5 to the guide rod 1 through the guide seat 2 when the vibration motor is started, so as to avoid other equipment being affected.

[0028] Guide rod 1 includes an upper rod body 101 at the top and a lower rod body 103 at the bottom. The outer diameter of the upper rod body 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower rod body 103. Guide rod 1, upper rod body 101, and lower rod body 103 are exemplified as round rods; see details below. Figure 1-2 ;

[0029] The guide seat 2 includes a guide hole 202. The guide seat 2 is connected to the lower air grille assembly 5. The guide seat 2 has a guide hole 202 inside that corresponds to the upper rod 101. The inner wall of the guide hole 202 fits against the outer wall of the upper rod 101. When the lower air grille assembly 5 moves upward and approaches the glass, the guide hole 202 cooperates with the upper rod 101 to provide guidance for the lower air grille assembly 5.

[0030] Meanwhile, since the outer diameter of the upper rod 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower rod 103, when the guide seat 2 falls to the outside of the lower rod 103, a buffer gap is formed between the guide hole 202 and the lower rod 103.

[0031] A frustum step 102 is machined between the upper rod 101 and the lower rod 103. The top and bottom ends of the frustum step 102 correspond to the upper rod 101 and the lower rod 103, respectively. Specifically, the frustum step 102 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The outer diameter of the top end of the frustum step 102 is the same as that of the upper rod 101, and the outer diameter of the bottom end of the frustum step 102 is the same as that of the lower rod 103. The outer walls of the upper rod 101, the frustum step 102, and the lower rod 103 are smoothly connected, so that when the guide seat 2 moves upward from the lower rod 103, the guide hole 202 can be smoothly fitted onto the upper rod 101.

[0032] A buffer seat 3 is installed on the frame 4 to support the guide seat 2. The buffer seat 3 supports the lower windshield assembly 5 when it is not in operation, avoiding the need to keep the hoisting mechanism in a suspended state for a long time and improving safety.

[0033] The buffer seat 3 includes a support plate 302 and a buffer spring 303. The support plate 302 has a buffer through hole 304 machined inside. The inner diameter of the buffer through hole 304 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower rod 103. The lower rod 103 passes through the buffer through hole 304. There is a gap between the buffer through hole 304 and the lower rod 103, so that the inner wall of the buffer through hole 304 does not contact the outer wall of the lower rod 103. A buffer gap is also formed between the buffer through hole 304 and the lower rod 103. The buffer spring 303 is installed between the bottom of the support plate 302 and the frame 4 to absorb the vibration.

[0034] A limiting block 301 is integrally formed on the top end face of the support plate 302. The bottom of the guide seat 2 is provided with a limiting groove 203 corresponding to the limiting block 301. Both the limiting block 301 and the limiting groove 203 are corresponding hemispherical structures. When the guide seat 2 moves down to contact the top of the support plate 302, the limiting groove 203 is fitted onto the limiting block 301 to constrain the horizontal position of the lower wind grid assembly 5 and prevent the lower wind grid assembly 5 from undergoing significant horizontal displacement during vibration.

[0035] The distance between the top of the support plate 302 and the bottom of the upper rod 101 is greater than the height of the guide seat 2, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, after the guide seat 2 falls on the support plate 302, the guide hole 202 is completely separated from the upper rod 101, thereby avoiding the transmission of vibration between the guide seat 2 and the upper rod 101 after the guide seat 2 is placed on the support plate 302.

[0036] The top of the guide hole 202 is machined with a frustum groove 201. The frustum groove 201 has a flared structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. This is used to reduce the obvious collision between the guide hole 202 and the frustum step 102 and the upper rod 101 when the guide hole 202 moves upward.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, move the lower air grille assembly 5 and guide seat 2 downwards and place them on the buffer seat 3. Then start the vibration motor 6. The vibration motor 6 drives the lower air grille assembly 5 to vibrate at a high frequency and low amplitude, causing the glass shards to bounce and slide along the inclined surface of the aluminum profile on the lower air grille assembly, falling out from the gaps between the profiles.

[0038] During vibration, the buffer spring 303 effectively absorbs the vibration and prevents the vibration from being transmitted to the frame 4.

[0039] When the hoisting mechanism moves the lower windshield assembly 5 upward, the guide seat 2 separates from the buffer seat 3, and the guide hole 202 moves upward to the outside of the upper rod 101 and fits against the outer wall of the upper rod 101, providing guidance for the lower windshield assembly 5 and ensuring that the lower windshield assembly 5 can work normally.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
