Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a cooling pipe connection mechanism for an edge-pulling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of producing LCD glass using the overflow pull method, the edge-pulling machine is one of the key pieces of equipment. The edge-pulling machine is driven by a servo motor, which drives a pair of edge-pulling shafts to rotate in opposite directions. During normal production, the edge-pulling machine is installed in the glass forming furnace area, and the edge-pulling shafts are inserted into the furnace. The edge-pulling shafts clamp the glass strip, and cooling air is introduced into the edge-pulling shafts, so that the glass clamped by the edge-pulling shafts forms a glass strip of a specified thickness and width.

[0003] Because the inside of the edge-pulling machine housing contains many rotating parts such as gears and bearings, and because the operating environment of the edge-pulling machine itself is very hot, cooling of the edge-pulling machine is particularly important. In the past, edge-pulling machines were mainly cooled by circulating cooling water into the machine housing. However, since the working cycle of an edge-pulling machine is often very long, the high-temperature resistant hoses that provide cooling water circulation to the edge-pulling machine often become clogged or broken due to long-term high-temperature oxidation, thus causing the edge-pulling machine to lose its cooling effect.

[0030] During operation, the edge-pulling machine requires internal cooling to ensure that all components function properly in high-temperature environments. (Refer to...) Figure 1-5This utility model proposes a cooling pipe connection mechanism for an edge-pulling machine. The working principle of this cooling pipe connection mechanism is that cooling water circulates in the cooling water jacket 2, carrying away heat from the edge-pulling machine housing 1. Cooling water flows from an external cooling water source into the first conduit group 3, which serves as the starting point for the cooling water flow. It is installed on the cooling water jacket 2 and securely connected to the housing 1 via a fixing component 4, ensuring that the edge-pulling machine will not shift or be damaged due to vibration or other factors during operation.

[0031] Cooling water enters the cavity 21 of the cooling water jacket 2 through the first conduit group 3. The baffle 22 inside the cavity 21 is arranged along the vertical center of the cooling water jacket 2. Its function is to change the flow direction and flow rate of the cooling water, so that the cooling water can be more evenly distributed in the cavity 21 and enhance the cooling effect. Then the cooling water flows out from the cavity 21 and passes through the second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7 on the bearing seat assembly 5. Since the bearing seat assembly 5 is a key component of the edge-pulling machine, it contains many rotating parts. These rotating parts generate a lot of heat when working. The second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7 can deliver cooling water to various positions of the bearing seat assembly 5 for effective cooling. The length direction of the second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7 is parallel to the first direction and cooperates with the first conduit group 3 to form a continuous cooling water flow channel.

[0032] The fourth conduit group 8 is installed between the second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7 via the connecting component 9. The length direction of the fourth conduit group 8 is also parallel to the first direction, ensuring the consistency of the pipe installation. Throughout the process, the first conduit group 3, the second conduit group 6, the third conduit group 7 and the fourth conduit group 8 all use metal pipes. Metal pipes have good thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance, which can better transfer heat and withstand the high temperature in the working environment of the edge-pulling machine. Compared with the rubber hoses used before, metal pipes will not experience high-temperature aging, which can extend the life of the cooling system.

[0033] In cooling water jacket 2:

[0034] In addition to serving as a passage for cooling water, the internal structure of cavity 21 can be optimized. For example, spiral or wavy protrusions can be provided on the inner wall of cavity 21. These protrusions can increase the contact area between cooling water and cavity wall, extend the residence time of cooling water, and thus improve heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the material of cavity 21 can be selected from alloy materials with high thermal conductivity to ensure that heat can be quickly conducted to cooling water.

[0035] The shape and size of the baffle 22 can be adjusted according to specific cooling requirements. In addition to simply arranging it along the vertical center line, it can also be designed as a multi-layer or irregular structure to achieve more complex water flow control, such as forming laminar or turbulent flow, and producing different cooling effects in different areas according to different cooling requirements.

[0036] In fixed component 4:

[0037] The first fixing block 41 and the second fixing block 42 are fixed to both sides of the housing 1 by the first screw and the second screw respectively, ensuring the stability of the first conduit assembly 3.

[0038] The first connecting pipe 31 is installed in the first mounting hole 412, and the second connecting pipe 32 is installed in the second mounting hole 422. The axial directions of the first mounting hole 412 and the second mounting hole 422 have an angle greater than 0° with the first direction. This design can generate a clamping effect during the process of fixing the first fixing block 41 and the second fixing block 42 with the first screw and the second screw, and apply a vertical pressure to the first fixing block 41 and the second fixing block 42 to make their installation more stable.

[0039] In bearing housing assembly 5:

[0040] The first seat 51 and the second seat 52 are important structures that support the rotating parts of the edge-pulling machine. The second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7 are installed on the first seat 51 and the second seat 52 and conduct heat conduction to achieve rapid cooling.

[0041] Connection component 9:

[0042] The first clamp 91, the second clamp 92, the third clamp 93, and the fourth clamp 94 not only serve to connect the fourth conduit group 8 with the second conduit group 6 and the third conduit group 7, but can also be designed as clamps with adjustable functions. The first clamp 91, the second clamp 92, the third clamp 93, and the fourth clamp 94 are the same size. The clamp uses two identical plates with arc-shaped grooves at both ends of the plates. After the two plates are joined together, two round openings that fit and hold the outer wall of the tube can be formed. The two plates are connected by bolts to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection.

[0043] The first clamp 91, the second clamp 92, the third clamp 93 and the fourth clamp 94 are arranged in the third direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. This arrangement ensures the firmness of the connection and enhances the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0044] Fourth Catheter Group 8:

[0045] The seventh connecting pipe 81 and the eighth connecting pipe 82 are coaxially arranged with the first base 51 and the second base 52 respectively through the first connecting pipe 811 and the second connecting pipe 821, which can ensure the stability of the cooling water flow direction.

[0046] The first fixing rod 813 and the second fixing rod fix the clamping block to the first mounting plate 814 and the second mounting plate, thereby ensuring a stable connection with the first seat 51 and the second seat 52.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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 concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
