Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a glass casting and molding apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing industry, small-batch trial production and experimental verification of glass are typically accomplished through casting. This process relies on specific casting equipment to shape the glass. Before casting, the glass raw materials are placed in a crucible and melted in a high-temperature furnace to ensure that the molten glass achieves the appropriate fluidity.

[0003] However, in existing casting technologies, when molten glass is manually poured onto the forming device using a clamping device, the tilt angle of the forming device cannot be adjusted. This makes precise control difficult, especially for molten glass with poor fluidity. Consequently, uneven and unstable flow of the molten glass occurs during the casting process, thus affecting the quality of the formed glass. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a glass casting apparatus to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the tilt angle of the casting apparatus cannot be changed during casting, making it impossible to accurately control samples with poor flowability, thereby affecting the quality of glass forming.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A glass casting apparatus includes a housing, a top plate, and at least two lifting components;

[0007] The top plate is mounted on the housing, and one side of the top plate is rotatably mounted on the housing;

[0008] The lifting components are all located between the housing and the top plate, and the top of each lifting component acts on the other side of the top plate to create a certain tilt angle between the top plate and the housing.

[0009] The top plate is used to support the poured molten glass, allowing the molten glass to flow at a certain speed on the top plate to achieve cooling and shaping.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the lifting element is configured as a lifting rod.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the tilt angle between the top plate and the housing ranges from 0 to 30 degrees.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a support assembly is further provided on the housing, the support assembly including a movable support frame, two first sliding members, and a second sliding member;

[0013] The movable support frame spans across the top plate, and both ends of the movable support frame are respectively connected to the first sliding member;

[0014] The second sliding member is respectively disposed on the corresponding two sides of the housing, the position of the first sliding member corresponds one-to-one with the position of the second sliding member, and the first sliding member and the second sliding member are slidably connected.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the first slider is configured as a protruding structure, and the second slider is configured as a recessed structure, with the protruding structure cooperating with the recessed structure; or...

[0016] The first slider is configured as a groove structure, and the second slider is configured as a protrusion structure, wherein the protrusion structure cooperates with the groove structure.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the protrusion structure is configured as at least one of a cylindrical protrusion, a prism protrusion, a frustum protrusion, a truncated cone protrusion, and a strip protrusion.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the movable support frame has a groove along its long side, the cross-sectional shape of which is adapted to the bottom shape of the crucible.

[0019] In one possible implementation, a heating element is also provided inside the housing.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the top plate is made of a material with high thermal conductivity.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the top plate ranges from 30mm to 50mm.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This application provides a glass casting and molding apparatus, in which a lifting component is provided at the bottom of the top plate used for cooling and molding. During the lifting process, the lifting component can lift one side of the top plate, thereby facilitating flexible adjustment of the tilt angle between the top plate and the shell. This not only helps to stabilize the flow rate of the molten glass and improve the quality of glass molding, but also allows for more reasonable and efficient adjustment of the tilt angle according to the different viscosities of the molten glass, providing convenience for achieving efficient and rapid molding of molten glass on the top plate.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the tilt angle between the top plate and the shell can be easily changed from 0 to 30 degrees by using a lifting component. This allows for flexible application in the forming of molten glass with different viscosities, providing high flexibility and facilitating rapid forming of molten glass, thus ensuring efficient and high-quality glass forming.

[0025] In one possible implementation, a support assembly is provided on the shell to offer additional support for workers to place the crucible on top of the top plate, facilitating casting operations. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the first and second sliding members ensures that the mobile support frame can be adjusted in position on the top plate as needed, enabling both mobile and fixed-point casting, making the casting process simpler and faster, and further enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of the casting process.

[0026] In one possible implementation, a groove is formed on the movable support frame, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the crucible clamp. By clamping the crucible with the clamp and placing the bottom of the clamp within the groove, the contact area between the clamp and the movable support frame is increased. This not only improves the stability of the crucible on the movable support frame, but also allows the crucible clamp to slide smoothly along the long side of the movable support frame. This facilitates the casting operation on the top plate, ensuring that the molten glass is accurately and uniformly poured onto the top plate, improving the quality of glass casting, and also enhancing the operational safety of the crucible clamp on the movable support frame.

[0027] In one possible implementation, a heating element is installed inside the shell to quickly raise the temperature of the top plate, thereby preheating it. Preheating ensures that the top plate reaches a suitable temperature for glass forming, preventing the glass from cooling or cracking rapidly due to excessive temperature differences. This ensures that the glass spreads evenly on the top plate and forms smoothly, while also helping to improve the quality and production efficiency of glass products.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the roof panel is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, which can significantly improve the strength, durability, and aesthetics of the roof panel, while ensuring that the roof panel has good instant heating and cooling performance.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the top plate is set to 30mm-50mm to facilitate instant heating and cooling of the top plate and reduce the impact of excessive temperature difference on the quality of glass forming. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a glass casting and molding apparatus, including a housing 1, a top plate 2, and at least two lifting components 3.

[0037] The housing 1 has an opening, and the top plate 2 covers the opening of the housing 1. One side of the top plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The top plate 2 and the housing 1 can be connected by a hinge or a bearing.

[0038] The lifting components 3 are all located between the housing 1 and the top plate 2. The lifting components 3 are arranged in a row. The bottom of the lifting components 3 can be located in the opening of the housing 1 or in the side wall of the housing 1.

[0039] Specifically, five upward-facing holes can be opened on the side wall of the housing 1, and the lifting components 3 are installed in the holes on the housing 1 respectively, so that the top of the lifting components 3 is through the holes. The top of the lifting components 3 can act on the other side of the top plate 2 through the holes, thereby making the top plate 2 and the housing 1 have a certain tilt angle.

[0040] The top of the top plate 2 can support the poured molten glass, allowing the molten glass to flow at a certain speed on the top plate 2 to achieve cooling and shaping.

[0041] In this embodiment, a lifting member 3 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 2 used for cooling and forming. During the lifting process, the lifting member 3 can lift one side of the top plate 2, thereby facilitating the flexible adjustment of the tilt angle between the top plate 2 and the shell 1. This not only helps to improve the flow rate of the molten glass and improve the quality of glass forming, but also allows for a more reasonable and efficient tilt angle to be adjusted according to the different viscosities of the molten glass, thus providing convenience for achieving efficient and rapid forming of molten glass on the top plate 2.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the lifting member 3 can be configured as a lifting rod, the bottom of which can be fixed to the housing 1 by bolts or by welding.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting rod can be a hydraulic rod, which is driven by a hydraulic system; or it can be an adjustable telescopic rod, which can be adjusted in length by electric, pneumatic or manual means.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting a lifting rod at the bottom of the top plate 2, the lifting height of the top plate 2 can be precisely controlled as needed, thereby quickly and effectively controlling the tilt angle between the top plate 2 and the shell 1, which facilitates the stable flow of molten glass on the top plate 2 and ensures rapid forming of molten glass.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the tilt angle between the top plate 2 and the housing 1 ranges from 0 to 30 degrees.

[0046] In this embodiment, the lifting member 3 facilitates changing the tilt angle between the top plate 2 and the housing 1 from 0 to 30 degrees, which is convenient for flexible application in the forming operation of glass liquid with different viscosities. It is highly flexible and easy to achieve the forming of glass liquid, thus ensuring efficient and high-quality glass forming.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a support assembly 4 disposed on the housing 1. The support assembly 4 may include a movable support frame 41, two first sliding members 42 and a second sliding member 43.

[0048] The movable support frame 41 spans across the top plate 2, and the bottom ends of the movable support frame 41 are respectively connected to the first sliding member 42.

[0049] The second sliding member 43 is respectively disposed on the corresponding two sides of the housing 1. The positions of the first sliding member 42 and the second sliding member 43 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence, and the first sliding member 42 and the second sliding member 43 are slidably connected.

[0050] In this embodiment, by providing a support assembly 4 on the shell 1, additional support is provided for workers to place the crucible on top of the top plate 2, facilitating casting operations. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the first sliding member 42 and the second sliding member 43 ensures that the movable support frame 41 can be adjusted in position on the top plate 2 as needed, facilitating both mobile and fixed-point casting, making the casting process simpler and faster, and further enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of casting.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the first slider 42 can be configured as a protrusion, and the second slider 43 can be configured as a groove, with the protrusion and groove engaging with each other. Alternatively, the first slider 42 can be configured as a groove, and the second slider 43 can be configured as a protrusion, with the protrusion and groove engaging with each other.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sliding connection between the movable support frame 41 and the side wall of the housing 1 is achieved through the cooperation of the protruding structure and the groove structure, enabling the movable support frame 41 to slide on the housing 1. During glass casting, the worker places the crucible on the support platform, and then can perform mobile casting or fixed-point casting as needed. The cooperation of the protruding structure and the groove structure ensures reliable connection of the movable support frame 41 on the housing 1, reducing the labor required during casting and thus improving casting efficiency.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, the protrusion structure may be configured as at least one of a cylindrical protrusion, a prism protrusion, a frustum protrusion, a truncated cone protrusion, and a strip protrusion.

[0054] The protruding structure can also be at least partially spherical, and the shape of the groove structure is adapted to the shape of the protruding structure. Regardless of the shape of the protruding structure, the sliding connection of the movable support frame 41 on the housing 1 can be achieved through the cooperation of the protruding structure and the groove structure.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, the movable support frame 41 has a groove 411 along its long side, the cross-sectional shape of which is adapted to the bottom shape of the crucible clamp.

[0056] In this embodiment, a groove 411 is formed on the movable support frame 41, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove 411 is adapted to the bottom shape of the crucible clamp. By using a clamp to hold the crucible and placing the clamp in the groove 411, the contact area between the clamp and the movable support frame 41 can be increased, which not only improves the stability of the crucible clamp on the movable support frame 41; secondly, the design of the groove 411 allows the crucible clamp to slide smoothly along the long side of the movable support frame 41, thereby facilitating the casting operation on the top plate 2, ensuring that the molten glass can be accurately and uniformly cast onto the top plate 2, improving the quality of glass casting, and also improving the operational safety of the crucible clamp on the movable support frame 41.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a heating element 11 is also provided inside the housing 1. The heating element 11 can be a heating rod. The heating temperature range of the heating rod is 200-500° with an error of ±10°. Preferably, the heating temperature is 350°.

[0058] Specifically, nine heating rods can be installed inside the shell 1, with three rods per layer and three heating rods per layer, thus forming a heating system for preheating the top plate 2. The evenly distributed heating rods ensure uniform heating of the surface of the top plate 2, reducing local overheating or underheating, and helping to ensure the stability and consistency of the top plate 2 during the heating process.

[0059] In this embodiment, a heating element 11 is provided inside the housing 1 to quickly raise the temperature of the top plate 2, thereby preheating the top plate 2. Preheating enables the top plate 2 to reach a suitable temperature for glass molten forming, preventing the glass molten material from cooling or cracking rapidly due to excessive temperature differences. This ensures that the glass molten material spreads evenly on the top plate 2 and forms smoothly, while also helping to improve the quality and production efficiency of glass products.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the top plate 2 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity.

[0061] Specifically, the material of the top plate 2 can be set as ductile iron.

[0064] In this embodiment, the thickness of the top plate 2 is set to 30mm-50mm to facilitate the instant heating and cooling of the top plate 2 and reduce the impact of excessive temperature difference on the quality of glass forming.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features, do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
