Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass production technology, and in particular to a feeding device for a glass production furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass production process, raw materials need to be fed into a furnace, where they are melted into molten glass. This molten glass is then used to make glass products of various shapes. The furnace is equipped with a feed inlet, and a feeding platform is located on one side of the feed inlet.
[0003] In the prior art, the feeding device of the kiln includes a frame, a hopper, and a feeding track; the frame is located on one side of the kiln's feed inlet, and a clearance distance is provided between the frame and the kiln; the hopper is fixed on the frame and is used to fill glass raw materials; the feeding track is inclinedly mounted on the frame. One end of the feeding track is located directly below the hopper to receive the material in the hopper; the other end of the feeding track extends to the feed platform, allowing the material to enter the kiln along the feed inlet.
[0004] Because the temperature inside and outside the kiln is high, if the feeding track is close to the inlet, the feeding track is easily deformed by heat, which will affect the sliding of the material on the feeding track; if the feeding track is far from the inlet, it will be difficult for the feeding track to feed the material into the kiln. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to facilitate the feeding of glass raw materials into the kiln and improve the production efficiency of glass products, this application provides a feeding device for a glass production kiln.
[0006] This application provides a feeding device for a glass production furnace, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A feeding device for a glass production furnace includes a feeding platform for temporary material placement and a feed inlet for material entering the furnace via the feeding platform. The device comprises a frame, a feeding mechanism, and a pushing mechanism, both mounted on the frame. The feeding mechanism conveys the material to the feeding platform of the furnace, and the pushing mechanism pushes the material into the feed inlet of the furnace.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism transports the material to the feeding platform, and the pushing mechanism pushes the material into the kiln; thereby reducing the impact of the high temperature inside the kiln on the feeding device and ensuring that the material can be accurately put into the kiln, thus improving the production efficiency of glass products.
[0009] Optionally, the pushing mechanism includes a driving component, a driving frame, and a pushing shovel; the driving component is fixed on the frame, the driving frame is connected to the driving component and the pushing shovel, and the driving component drives the pushing shovel to move closer to or away from the feed inlet.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the reciprocating motion of the driving component enables the pushing mechanism to periodically push the material into the kiln.
[0011] Optionally, the driving component includes a motor and a turntable, the turntable being disposed at the driving end of the motor; the driving frame is rotatably connected to the turntable, and the connection point between the driving frame and the turntable is eccentrically disposed; the pushing mechanism further includes a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the frame, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the driving frame.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the pusher shovel can simultaneously have horizontal and vertical displacement through the coordinated operation of the drive component and the rotating rod; thus, it is easier for the pusher mechanism to push the material into the kiln feed inlet and improve production efficiency.
[0013] Optionally, the pushing mechanism further includes a guide plate, which is fixed to the drive frame on the side near the pushing shovel. When the pushing shovel pushes the material into the kiln's feed inlet, the guide plate is set at an acute angle to the vertical plane, and the guide plate forces the hot airflow upward.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a guide plate is installed on the drive frame to guide the high-temperature gas to flow upward, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature gas on the workers next to the feeding device.
[0015] Optionally, the feeding mechanism includes a hopper and a feeding track; the hopper is fixed on the frame, and the feeding track is disposed on the frame. The feeding track is used to receive the material in the hopper and to transport the material to the feeding platform.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is transported to the feeding platform of the kiln through the coordinated operation of the hopper and the feeding track.
[0017] Optionally, the feeding mechanism further includes a spring and a vibration motor. The feeding track is fixedly connected to the frame via the spring, and the vibration motor is located on the side of the feeding mechanism away from the hopper.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibration of the feeding track by the vibrating motor facilitates the sliding of materials on the feeding track, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the feeding mechanism.
[0019] Optionally, a protective plate is also included, which is fixed to the frame and is used to block the discharge from the feed inlet.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, protective plates are installed on the frame to block the strong light and high-temperature gas at the kiln feed inlet, thereby reducing the impact of the kiln on the workers.
[0021] Optionally, the protective plate includes a first protective plate and a second protective plate, wherein the first protective plate and the second protective plate are integrally formed; the first protective plate is disposed opposite to the feed inlet, and the second protective plate is disposed at an obtuse angle to the first protective plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the second protective plate is set at an angle, which not only ensures the protective effect of the second protective plate on the staff, but also makes it easier for the staff to observe the flames in the kiln.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The feeding mechanism transports the material to the feeding platform, and the pushing mechanism pushes the material into the kiln; thereby reducing the impact of the high temperature inside the kiln on the feeding device and ensuring that the material can be accurately put into the kiln, thus improving the production efficiency of glass products.
[0025] 2. Through the coordinated operation of the drive unit and the rotating rod, the pusher shovel can simultaneously have horizontal and vertical displacement; thus facilitating the pusher mechanism to push the material into the kiln feed inlet and improving production efficiency.
[0026] 3. By installing protective plates on the frame, the strong light and high-temperature gases at the kiln feed inlet can be blocked, reducing the impact of the kiln on the workers. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -4 provides further detailed description of this application.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] This application discloses a feeding device for a glass production furnace. The furnace 5 is provided with a feeding platform 51 for temporary placement of materials. The furnace 5 is provided with a feeding inlet 52, through which materials enter the feeding inlet 52 via the feeding platform 51.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 The feeding device for the glass production furnace includes a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2 and a pushing mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 2 and the pushing mechanism 3 are mounted on the frame 1. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to transport the material to the feeding platform 51 of the furnace 5, and the pushing mechanism 3 is used to push the material into the feeding port 52 of the furnace 5.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 2 includes a hopper 21, a feeding track 22, a spring member 23, and a vibrating motor 24. The hopper 21 is fixed to the frame 1 and is used for temporary storage of glass raw materials. The feeding track 22 is inclined and fixedly connected to the frame 1 via the spring member 23. One end of the feeding track 22 is located directly below the hopper 21 to receive the material in the hopper 21; the other end extends to the feeding platform 51, allowing the material to flow along the inlet 52 into the kiln 5. The vibrating motor 24 is located on the side of the feeding mechanism 2 away from the hopper 21. The feeding track 22 receives the material in the hopper 21 and transports the material to the feeding platform 51. The vibration of the feeding track 22 by the vibrating motor 24 facilitates the sliding of the material on the feeding track 22, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the feeding mechanism 2.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The straight sections at both ends of the spring member 23 are provided with external threads, and mounting holes are provided on both the frame 1 and the feeding track 22. After the straight sections at both ends of the spring member 23 pass through the mounting holes, the straight sections at both ends of the spring member 23 are threadedly connected to the nuts, thereby realizing the installation of the feeding track 22.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 3 includes a driving component 31, a driving frame 32, a rotating rod 33, and a feeding shovel 34. The driving component 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. In this embodiment, the driving component 31 includes a motor 311 and a turntable 312. The turntable 312 is located at the driving end of the motor 311. The driving frame 32 is rotatably connected to the turntable 312, and the connection point between the driving frame 32 and the turntable 312 is eccentrically positioned. One end of the driving frame 32 is rotatably connected to the turntable 312, and the other end of the driving frame 32 is connected to the feeding shovel 34. One end of the rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the middle region of the driving frame 32. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a connecting shaft 6 and a bearing seat 7. The bearing seat 7 fixes the connecting shaft 6 to the frame 1. The connecting shaft 6 is horizontally positioned, and the end of the rotating rod 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 6, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the rotating rod 33 and the frame 1. When the motor 311 in the drive unit 31 rotates, the drive unit 31 drives the pusher shovel 34 to approach the feed inlet 52 and the pusher shovel 34 to approach the feed table 51; or the drive unit 31 drives the pusher shovel 34 away from the feed inlet 52 and the pusher shovel 34 away from the feed table 51.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 That is, through the coordinated operation of the drive component 31 and the rotating rod 33, the pusher shovel 34 can simultaneously have horizontal and vertical displacement; thus, the pusher mechanism 3 can push the material into the feed inlet 52 of the kiln 5, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protective plate 4 is fixed on the frame 1 and is used to block the discharge from the feed inlet 52. In this embodiment, the protective plate 4 includes a first protective plate 41 and a second protective plate 42, which are integrally formed; the first protective plate 41 is disposed opposite to the feed inlet 52, and the second protective plate 42 is disposed at an obtuse angle to the first protective plate 41.
[0041] The implementation principle of the feeding device for a glass production kiln in this embodiment is as follows:
[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The feeding mechanism 2 transports the material to the feeding platform 51, and the pushing mechanism 3 pushes the material into the kiln 5; thereby reducing the impact of the high temperature inside the kiln 5 on the feeding device and ensuring that the material can be accurately put into the kiln 5, thus improving the production efficiency of glass products.
[0043] By installing a protective plate 4 on the frame 1, the strong light and high-temperature gas from the feed inlet 52 of the kiln 5 are blocked, reducing the impact of the kiln 5 on the workers. In this embodiment, the second protective plate 42 is inclined, which ensures the protective effect of the second protective plate 42 on the workers while also making it easier for the workers to observe the flames in the kiln 5 through the feed inlet 52.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows:
[0046] Reference Figure 4 The feeding mechanism 3 also includes a guide plate 35, which is fixed on the drive frame 32 near the feeding shovel 34. When the feeding shovel 34 pushes the material into the feed inlet 52 of the kiln 5, the guide plate 35 is set at an acute angle to the vertical plane, and the guide plate 35 forces the hot airflow to flow upward.
[0047] The implementation principle of the feeding device for a glass production kiln in this embodiment is as follows:
[0048] After the pusher shovel 34 pushes the material into the kiln 5, the high-temperature gas inside the kiln 5 will pass through the feed inlet 52; by setting a guide plate 35 on the drive frame 32, the guide plate 35 guides the high-temperature gas to flow upward, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature gas on the workers near the feeding device.
[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
