Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass production equipment, specifically relating to a cleaning and drying device for the production of high-transmittance, light-scattering glass. Background Technology
[0002] High-transmittance, medium-scattering glass is a type of glass with strong light transmission and moderate light scattering. High-efficiency agricultural greenhouses typically use high-transmittance, medium-scattering glass to cover the greenhouse roof to increase crop yields and improve internal temperature. Glass processing generally involves cutting, edge grinding, and chamfering, and after these processes, the glass usually needs to be cleaned to remove debris. Patent document CN 213495531U discloses a cleaning and drying device for glass production, including a box body with square holes on both the front and rear sides. A water tank is fixedly connected to the rear top of the box body. A first water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank's inner cavity. The bottom of the first water pump's outlet pipe passes through the water tank and the box body and connects to a first horizontal pipe. Both ends of the first horizontal pipe are connected to first vertical pipes, and a nozzle is connected to the opposite side of the first vertical pipe. Horizontal bars are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of both sides of the inner cavity of the box body. While this patent allows for simultaneous cleaning and drying of both sides of the glass, the glass is placed vertically during operation. When the glass area is large, this vertical position introduces numerous instability factors, resulting in poor stability, hindering glass movement, and compromising safety. Therefore, a cleaning and drying device for the production of high-transmittance, light-scattering glass is needed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a cleaning and drying device for the production of high-transmittance, medium-scattering glass, comprising a cleaning tank and a conveyor. The bottom of the cleaning tank is equipped with a discharge pipe with a switch valve. The two ends of the cleaning tank are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet. The conveyor is a roller conveyor, which enters the cleaning tank from the inlet and extends from the outlet. The distance between two adjacent conveyor rollers of the conveyor inside the cleaning tank is greater than the outer diameter of the conveyor rollers. Spraying assemblies are provided above and below the conveyor inside the cleaning tank. The spraying assemblies include a liquid distributor connected to an inlet pipe and covered with spray heads. The spraying directions of the two sets of spraying assemblies are arranged facing each other.
[0004] Drying components are installed above and below the conveyor behind the spraying components. Each drying component includes an air distributor connected to an air inlet pipe, an air heater installed on the air inlet pipe, and air distributors covered with jet nozzles. The jet directions of the two drying components are arranged facing each other.
[0005] Preferably, the conveyor located inside the cleaning tank is equipped with an auxiliary unloading assembly, which includes two synchronous linear modules. The two linear modules are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame, and the moving direction of the linear modules is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor.
[0006] The slide of the linear module is fixed with a fixed frame, and the fixed frame is equipped with a horizontal telescopic rod. The fixed end of the horizontal telescopic rod is fixed to the fixed frame, and the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic rod is connected to a material feeding rod. The material feeding rods on the two linear modules are arranged facing each other.
[0007] Preferably, the horizontal telescopic rod is an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, each pair of adjacent conveyor rollers within the cleaning chamber is equipped with a spray head or air jet. This ensures that the glass is cleaned and dried by the spray head and air jet as it passes through the cleaning chamber.
[0009] This invention also includes other components that enable the normal operation of a cleaning and drying device for the production of high-transmittance, light-scattering glass, such as control components for the conveyor, spray head, air jet head, air heater, horizontal telescopic rod, and linear module, all of which are conventional technologies in the field. Furthermore, devices or components not limited in this invention, such as roller conveyors, electric push rods, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, air jet heads, spray heads, air heaters, and linear modules, all employ conventional technologies and equipment in the field.
[0010] Working principle: The glass to be cleaned and dried is placed on a conveyor and transported to the cleaning tank. It is then sequentially cleaned by cleaning fluid sprayed from the spray nozzles, and dried by hot air sprayed from the jet nozzles before being transported out of the cleaning tank. During this process, the upper and lower surfaces of the glass are simultaneously cleaned and dried by the corresponding spray and drying components, resulting in excellent cleaning and drying effects and high efficiency. The sprayed cleaning fluid can be recycled and reused within the cleaning tank, saving resources.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: reasonable structure, simple principle, and simultaneous sequential spray cleaning and drying of the front and back sides of the glass. It has high cleaning and drying efficiency, good effect, good stability, high safety, and is not likely to damage the glass. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a cleaning and drying device for the production of high-transmittance, medium-scattering glass 17, including a cleaning tank 11 and a conveyor 1. The bottom of the cleaning tank 11 is provided with a discharge pipe 18 with a switch valve. The two ends of the cleaning tank 11 are respectively provided with an inlet 9 and an outlet 10. The conveyor 1 is a roller conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 enters the cleaning tank 11 from the inlet 9 and extends out from the outlet 10. The distance between two adjacent conveying rollers 2 of the conveyor 1 inside the cleaning tank 11 is greater than the outer diameter of the conveying rollers 2. Spraying assemblies are provided above and below the conveyor 1 inside the cleaning tank 11. The spraying assembly includes a liquid distributor 3. The liquid distributor 3 is connected to an inlet pipe 8. The liquid distributor 3 is covered with spray nozzles 5. The spraying directions of the two sets of spraying assemblies are arranged facing each other. The inlet pipe is connected to a liquid pump. The cleaning liquid is introduced into the liquid distributor by the inlet pipe under the action of the liquid pump and sprayed out from the spray nozzle to perform spray cleaning operation on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass.
[0020] Drying components are located above and below the conveyor 1 behind the spraying assembly. Each drying component includes an air distributor 4 connected to an air inlet pipe 7, which is equipped with an air heater. The air distributor 4 is covered with jet nozzles 6, and the jetting directions of the two drying components face each other. Air is heated by the air heater and then sent into the air distributor. The hot air is then blown by the jet nozzles onto the upper and lower surfaces of the glass for drying. An air pump is connected to the air inlet pipe.
[0021] An auxiliary feeding assembly is provided on the conveyor 1 located inside the cleaning tank 11. The auxiliary feeding assembly includes two synchronous linear modules 12, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame of the conveyor 1. The moving direction of the linear modules 12 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor 1.
[0022] The linear module 12 has a fixed frame 14 on its slide table 13. The fixed frame 14 is equipped with a horizontal telescopic rod 15. The fixed end of the horizontal telescopic rod 15 is fixed to the fixed frame 14, and the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic rod 15 is connected to a feeding rod 16. The feeding rods 16 on the two linear modules 12 are arranged facing each other. This arrangement allows the feeding rod to push the glass to move inside the cleaning tank, preventing the glass from slipping on the conveyor rollers.
[0023] The horizontal telescopic rod 15 is an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0024] Each of the two adjacent conveyor rollers 2 inside the cleaning tank 11 is equipped with a spray head 5 or an air jet head 6. This ensures that the glass 17 is cleaned and dried by the spray head 5 and the air jet head 6 as it passes through the cleaning tank 11.
[0025] During operation, the glass to be cleaned and dried is placed on a conveyor and transported to the cleaning tank. It is then sequentially cleaned by cleaning fluid sprayed from the spray nozzles, and dried by hot air sprayed from the jet nozzles before being transported out of the cleaning tank. In this process, both the upper and lower surfaces of the glass are simultaneously cleaned and dried by the corresponding spray and drying components, resulting in excellent cleaning and drying effects and high efficiency. The cleaning fluid sprayed out can be recycled and reused within the cleaning tank, saving resources.
[0026] When the glass enters the cleaning tank for cleaning and movement, two horizontal telescopic rods are positioned at the inlet inside the tank. Once all the glass has entered, the two horizontal telescopic rods extend until the distance between the two guide rods is less than the width of the glass. The linear module then activates, and two sliding tables synchronously move the guide rods towards the outlet. The two guide rods contact the glass, pushing it forward and preventing slippage between the glass and the conveyor rollers due to the spray liquid. This ensures high efficiency in cleaning and drying the glass.
[0027] The roller conveyor, spray head, linear module, jet head, electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, air cylinder, air heater, etc. in the above embodiments are all prior art. This application does not make any improvements to them, but only utilizes their existing functions. For their specific structure and principle, please refer to the product manual or existing technical data, which are all prior art.
[0028] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
