Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass ball production technology, and in particular to a glass ball grading and cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of glass spheres involves melting and shearing the raw material to form small pieces, then rolling them in two spiral arc-shaped grooves to achieve roundness before cooling. However, the cooling process requires a long wait, directly impacting product quality and production efficiency. In traditional processes, cooling and grading equipment are often independently set up, resulting in a complex production process, large equipment footprint, and difficulty in improving production efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, glass beads are typically cooled separately using air-cooling or water-cooling devices, and then classified using a vibrating screen or drum screen. Although this segmented process can accomplish the basic cooling and classification tasks, it has many problems in actual production.

[0004] The core flaw of the existing technology is that it cannot achieve simultaneous cooling and grading. This causes the glass spheres to stick together due to excessive temperature during the cooling process, and during grading, the equipment structure limits the efficiency of separating glass spheres of different diameters, which seriously affects production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a glass ball grading and cooling device to solve the problem of low grading efficiency in the prior art where cooling and grading cannot be performed simultaneously.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A glass sphere grading cooling device, comprising:

[0008] A frame; a grading screen, installed at an angle inside the frame, with an interface at one end; a cooling fan, installed on one side of the frame, with the air outlet of the cooling fan connected to the interface via a pipeline; and a ball storage bin, which receives the formed glass balls and discharges them onto the grading screen, the ball storage bin being installed on the frame and located at the top of the grading screen.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, synchronous cooling of glass spheres during the grading process is achieved, effectively preventing glass spheres from sticking together due to high temperature, improving grading efficiency, and simplifying the equipment structure while reducing the space occupied by the equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, a drive mechanism is provided inside the frame at the bottom of the grading screen, and the drive mechanism drives the grading screen to swing.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the oscillation of the grading screen can make the glass balls roll fully on the screen surface, further improving the grading efficiency and ensuring that the glass balls dissipate heat evenly during the cooling process.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame is provided with elastic support members to support the grading screen and allow it to swing with the drive mechanism.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic support can ensure that the grading screen remains stable during the swinging process, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic support includes a column fixedly disposed at the bottom of the frame, a mounting plate installed on the side of the grading screen, and a spring located between the mounting plate and the column.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the elasticity of the spring can buffer the swaying impact of the grading screen, further improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0016] Furthermore, the support column includes a front support column and a rear support column respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the grading screen, wherein the height of the front support column is lower than the height of the rear support column.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined setting of the grading screen can make the glass balls roll along the screen surface, ensuring the grading effect while further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor fixedly mounted on the frame, a camshaft rotatably mounted on the frame, and a transmission shaft. A pull rod rotatably mounted on the camshaft drives the grading screen to swing. Pulleys are respectively mounted on the motor, the camshaft, and the transmission shaft. The pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt. The transmission shaft drives the cooling fan to rotate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor simultaneously drives the grading screen to swing and the cooling fan to run, realizing the coordinated work of grading and cooling, and further improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, the grading sieve is provided with at least two screens, each with a different screen hole size, the upper screen having larger screen holes and the lower screen having smaller screen holes.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, multi-layer screens can accurately classify glass spheres of different diameters, thus improving the classification accuracy.

[0022] Furthermore, the grading screen has at least two through slots, the screen mesh is inserted into the through slots, and a gap is reserved between two adjacent through slots.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the pluggable design of the screen facilitates replacement and maintenance, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0024] Furthermore, the grading screen has multiple ball outlets at its tail end, located at each layer of the screen.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-layer ball outlet can ensure that the graded glass balls are discharged quickly, further improving the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The glass ball grading and cooling equipment described in this utility model combines a grading screen with a cooling fan and features an inclined grading screen, achieving synchronous cooling of the glass balls during the grading process. This effectively prevents the glass balls from sticking together and improves grading efficiency. The inclusion of a drive mechanism and elastic support components allows the grading screen to swing stably, further enhancing grading efficiency and equipment stability. The multi-layered screen design enables precise grading of glass balls of different diameters, improving grading accuracy. The pluggable screen and multi-layered ball outlet design enhance the equipment's flexibility and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] This embodiment relates to a glass ball graded cooling device, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a frame 1, a grading screen 2, a cooling fan 3, and a ball storage bin 4.

[0044] The grading screen 2 is installed at an incline inside the frame 1 to separate glass balls into different diameters. One end of the grading screen 2 has an interface 5. The cooling fan 3 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The air outlet of the cooling fan 3 and the interface 5 are connected by a pipe 6. The ball storage bin 4 is installed on the frame 1 and located on top of the grading screen 2. The ball storage bin 4 receives the formed glass balls and then discharges them into the grading screen 2.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the ball storage chamber 4 is located at the bottom of the ball forming equipment. After the glass balls are formed, they fall into the ball storage chamber 4. At this time, the temperature of the glass balls is relatively high. The ball storage chamber 4 discharges the glass balls into the grading screen 2. The holes on the grading screen 2 can classify glass balls of different sizes. The inclined setting of the grading screen 2 can ensure that the glass balls roll in the grading screen 2. The grading screen 2 has a ball outlet 7 at the tail end. After grading, the glass balls are discharged from the ball outlet 7. During grading, the cooling fan 3 is started, and the airflow is blown into the grading screen 2 from the pipe 6. Due to the inclined setting of the grading screen 2, the glass balls are laid flat in the powder sieve, and the airflow can be blown onto each glass ball, thereby improving the cooling speed of the glass balls.

[0046] Based on the above overview, the exemplary structure of the glass ball graded cooling device in this embodiment is still as described above. Figure 1 As shown, a drive mechanism 8 is installed at the bottom of the grading screen 2 inside the frame 1 to drive the grading screen 2 to swing. An elastic support member 9 is installed on the frame 1 to support the grading screen 2. Specifically, the drive mechanism 8 is connected not only to the grading screen 2 but also to the cooling fan 3. When the grading screen 2 swings and screens, the cooling fan 3 cools the glass balls inside the grading screen 2 to prevent them from sticking together. The elastic support member 9 ensures that the grading screen 2 remains in a fixed position on the frame 1 and can also swing with the drive mechanism 8, thereby achieving screening while ensuring the strength of the equipment and improving its service life.

[0047] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the elastic support 9 in this embodiment includes a column 901 fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 1, a mounting plate 902 installed on the side of the grading screen 2, and a spring 903 located between the mounting plate 902 and the column 901. Specifically, columns 901 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the grading screen 2. The height of the front column 901 is lower than the height of the rear column 901. This arrangement ensures that the grading screen 2 is in an inclined state, ensuring that the glass can roll from the high point to the low point of the grading screen 2, thereby completing the screening of glass balls of different sizes. The mounting plate 902 is fixed to the grading screen 2 with screws. The function of the spring 903 is to ensure that the grading screen 2 can shake, thereby improving the screening efficiency.

[0048] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 3As shown, the drive mechanism 8 in this embodiment includes a motor 801 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a camshaft 802 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and a transmission shaft 803. A pull rod 804, which drives the grading screen 2 to swing, is rotatably mounted on the camshaft 802. Pulleys 805 are respectively mounted on the motor 801, camshaft 802, and transmission shaft 803, and the pulleys 805 are connected by a synchronous belt. The transmission shaft 803 drives the cooling fan 3 to rotate. Specifically, the motor 801 can drive the grading screen 2 and the cooling fan 3 to work simultaneously. The transmission shaft 803 and camshaft 802 are mounted on the frame 1 through bearings. The pulleys 805 on the motor 801, camshaft 802, and transmission shaft 803 have different diameters. This arrangement ensures that the swing frequency of the grading screen 2 and the rotation speed of the cooling fan 3 are different. The pull rod 804 is rotatably connected to the grading screen 2. When the camshaft 802 rotates, it drives the pull rod 804 to move back and forth, thereby realizing the swing of the grading screen 2.

[0049] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the grading sieve 2 is equipped with at least two screens 10, each with a different mesh size. It should be noted that multiple screens 10 can be installed in the grading sieve 2 depending on the actual situation. Since the glass balls are produced in different sizes, sieving through multiple screens 10 can separate glass balls of the same size together. The upper screen 10 has larger mesh sizes, while the lower screen 10 has smaller mesh sizes. This arrangement ensures that glass balls of various diameters are sieved.

[0050] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the grading sieve 2 has at least two through slots 11, and the screen 10 is inserted into the through slots 11. Specifically, a gap is reserved between two adjacent through slots 11 to ensure that the glass balls can roll in the next layer of screen 10. The through slots 11 facilitate the replacement of the screen 10, thereby accommodating glass balls of more diameters. There are multiple ball outlets 7, located at each layer of screen 10, and the glass balls can be discharged from the ball outlets 7 after sieving.

[0051] The glass ball grading and cooling equipment in this embodiment combines the grading screen 2 with the cooling fan 3 and sets the grading screen 2 to be inclined, thereby achieving synchronous cooling of the glass balls during the grading process, effectively preventing the glass balls from sticking together and improving the grading efficiency. By setting the drive mechanism 8 and the elastic support 9, the grading screen 2 can swing stably, further improving the grading efficiency and equipment stability. The design of the multi-layer screen 10 enables precise grading of glass balls of different diameters, improving the grading accuracy. The design of the pluggable screen 10 and the multi-layer ball outlet 7 improves the flexibility and production efficiency of the equipment.

[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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
