Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agitator technology, and in particular to a glass kiln agitator. Background Technology

[0002] A glass furnace is an essential melting device in the glass manufacturing industry. During the production of glass substrates, the glass furnace is primarily responsible for providing subsequent processes with molten glass that is of high quality, at a stable temperature, and with a uniform composition.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215627569U discloses a glass furnace stirrer. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The baffle can intercept the molten glass and stir the molten glass intercepted by the baffle in the glass furnace, so that the molten glass in the glass furnace is heated evenly, thereby avoiding the formation of glass veins, improving the quality of glass, reducing the scrap rate of glass, and improving production efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned agitator still has some shortcomings: the height of its stirring rod is fixed, which is not convenient to adjust according to the height of the inner wall of the glass furnace. Therefore, its stirring rod can only be used for glass furnaces of the same height and for stirring the molten glass inside the glass furnace. It is not convenient to use for glass furnaces of different sizes, which reduces the flexibility and applicability of the agitator and makes it inconvenient to use. Therefore, it is necessary to design a glass furnace agitator that can be adapted to glass furnaces of different sizes and stir the molten glass inside them. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing glass furnace agitators where the height of the stirring rod is fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust according to the height of the glass furnace inner wall, and thus the stirring rod can only be used for glass furnaces of a matching height to stir the molten glass inside the glass furnace, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a glass furnace agitator.

[0006] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A glass furnace stirrer, comprising a moving rod, a moving mechanism, a lateral extension mechanism, and a vertical extension mechanism: a stirring frame one is fixedly connected to one side of the moving rod, a stirring frame two is provided on one side of the stirring frame one, the vertical extension mechanism is disposed between the stirring frame one and the stirring frame two, and a stirring frame three is slidably connected to one side of both the stirring frame one and the stirring frame two; the lateral extension mechanism includes a groove one formed on one side of the stirring frame one, an extension plate one slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove one, the extension plate one being fixedly connected to the stirring frame three, and the stirring frame one... A movable groove is fixedly connected to the upper surface, and a movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove.

A limit rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded holes two. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of the stirring frame one and the lengths of the stirring frame one and stirring frame two through the vertical extension mechanism and the horizontal extension mechanism, making it suitable for stirring molten glass in glass furnaces of different sizes, increasing its applicability and effectively improving its convenience.

[0007] According to the glass furnace stirrer described above, a knob is fixedly connected to one end of the screw. This facilitates driving the screw to rotate, making rotation convenient.

[0008] According to the glass furnace stirrer described above, one end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a knob. This facilitates rotation of the limiting rod and makes it easy to use.

[0009] According to the glass furnace agitator described above, the size of the first threaded hole and the size of the second threaded hole are matched, and the limiting rod is threadedly connected to the inner walls of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole. The limiting rod can be limited and installed in the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the agitator frame two.

[0010] According to the aforementioned glass furnace stirrer, there are two lateral extension mechanisms, each disposed on the upper surface of stirring frame one and stirring frame two respectively. There are also two stirring frames three, each slidably connected to one side of stirring frame one and stirring frame two respectively. The two lateral extension mechanisms are connected to the two stirring frames three respectively. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of stirring frame one and the lengths of stirring frame one and stirring frame two according to the height and width of the glass furnace's inner wall, thus accommodating glass furnaces of different sizes, effectively improving its practicality and flexibility, and expanding its applicability.

[0011] According to the glass furnace stirrer described above, the moving mechanism is disposed on one side of the moving rod. The moving mechanism includes a slide rail, a rack slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail, the rack being fixedly connected to the moving rod, and support plates symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of one side of the slide rail. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with the rack. This facilitates the horizontal movement of stirring frame one and stirring frame two.

A limiting ring is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting ring.

This allows for the stirring of molten glass in glass furnaces of different sizes, effectively enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the device. Furthermore, the moving mechanism facilitates the horizontal movement of the first and second stirring racks within the glass furnace, thereby stirring the molten glass inside and effectively improving the stirring efficiency and uniformity of the molten glass.

The size of threaded hole 1 403 and threaded hole 2 404 are adapted to each other. The limiting rod 405 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of threaded hole 1 403 and threaded hole 2 404. There are two lateral extension mechanisms 3, which are respectively set on the upper surface of stirring rack 1 5 and stirring rack 2 6. There are two stirring racks 3 7, which are slidably connected to one side of stirring rack 1 5 and stirring rack 2 6. The two lateral extension mechanisms 3 are respectively connected to the two stirring racks 3 7. The moving mechanism 2 is set on one side of the moving rod 1. The moving mechanism 2 includes a slide rail 201. A rack 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 201. The rack 202 is connected to the moving rod 1.

[0027] The vertical extension mechanism 4 and the horizontal extension mechanism 3 facilitate the stirring of molten glass in glass furnaces of different sizes, effectively improving the practicality and flexibility of the device. The moving mechanism 2 facilitates the horizontal movement of the stirring rack 5 and the stirring rack 6 within the glass furnace, thereby stirring the molten glass inside and effectively improving the stirring efficiency and uniformity of the molten glass.

[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to stir the molten glass in the glass furnace, adjust the vertical extension mechanism 4 and the horizontal extension mechanism 3 according to the width and height of the glass furnace. Adjust the vertical extension mechanism 4, turn the knob 2 9 to drive the limiting rod 405 out of the threaded hole 1 403 and the threaded hole 2 404, and no longer limit the position of the stirring frame 2 6. Moving the stirring frame 2 6 downward will drive the stirring frame 3 7 on one side to move simultaneously, and drive the extension plate 2 402 to move downward on the inner wall of the slide 2 401. When it extends to the height suitable for the inner wall of the glass furnace, screw the limiting rod 405 into the corresponding threaded hole 2 404 and the threaded hole 1 403 to limit the position of the stirring frame 2 6 and the stirring frame 3 7. This allows for the extension of the height of the stirring rack 5 to adapt to glass furnaces of different heights for stirring. Then, the horizontal extension mechanism 3 is adjusted, and the knob 8 is turned to drive the screw 305 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 305 causes the moving plate 304 to slide on the inner wall of the moving groove 303, while simultaneously causing the extension plate 302 to slide outward on the inner wall of the sliding groove 301. This adjusts the horizontal length of the stirring rack 5 and the stirring rack 6 to match the width of the inner wall of the glass furnace. Thus, the vertical extension mechanism 4 and the horizontal extension mechanism 3 can be used to stir the molten glass in glass furnaces of different sizes, thereby meeting different usage needs and improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.

[0029] Then, the moving mechanism 2 drives the stirring rack 5, stirring rack 6, and stirring rack 7 to move horizontally to stir the molten glass. The moving mechanism 2 is installed in a suitable position on the glass furnace through the mounting base 11, mounting hole 12, and bolt 13. The adjusted stirring rack 5 and stirring rack 6 are placed into the molten glass. The servo motor 204 is started, which drives the gear 206 to rotate through the rotating shaft 205. The rotation of the gear 206 meshes with the rack 202, causing the rack 202 to slide on the inner wall of the slide rail 201. At the same time, it drives the moving rod 1 to move. The movement of the moving rod 1 causes the stirring rack 5 and stirring rack 6 to move horizontally in the molten glass, thereby stirring the molten glass and effectively improving the uniformity of stirring.

[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
