Detailed Implementation

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the glass cooling and cleaning device includes an upper chamber 1 and a lower chamber 2. The upper chamber 1 is located on top of the lower chamber 2. The upper chamber 1 contains an upper brush roller 11, while the lower chamber 2 contains a conveyor roller 4 and a lower brush roller 21. Both the upper chamber 1 and the lower chamber 2 are equipped with spray pipes 8. The upper chamber 1 is connected to a lifting mechanism, and the lower chamber 2 also contains a cleaning mechanism. The conveyor roller 4 conveys the glass, while the upper brush roller 11 and lower brush roller 21 clean the top and bottom surfaces of the glass, respectively. Simultaneously, the spray effect from the spray pipes 8 cools the glass, improving the cooling and cleaning effect. Broken glass carried or generated during glass production falls into the lower chamber 2, where it is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism. The lower chamber 2 is connected to the device frame, and the upper chamber 1 is mounted on top of the lower chamber 2. These are separate structures. In case of production abnormalities, the upper chamber 1 can be raised a certain distance using the lifting mechanism to facilitate the rapid removal of glass from the chamber, preventing equipment malfunctions and glass damage.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 51. A sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the upper housing 1, with the open end of the sleeve 12 facing vertically downwards. The screw 51 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 12, and the screw 51 is vertically positioned. A driven bevel gear 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 51. A transmission shaft 5 is located on the sides of both ends of the lower housing 2, and the transmission shaft 5 is horizontally positioned. A driving bevel gear 52 is located at both ends of the transmission shaft, and the driven bevel gear 53 meshes with the driving bevel gear 52. A limiting plate 23 is located outside the lower housing 2, and the screw 51 passes through the limiting plate 23. The transmission shaft 5 is connected to the power equipment on the production line to provide power. The transmission of the screw 51 is achieved through the meshing of the bevel gears. The screw 51 and the sleeve 12 are threaded together to achieve the lifting and lowering of the upper housing 1, allowing the upper housing 1 to rise and separate from the lower housing 2. Four pairs of screws 51 and sleeves 12 are designed and located at the four corners of the device, with power transmitted by two transmission shafts 5 to achieve stable lifting of the upper housing 1. The sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 1 via the connecting plate 13 fixed to its top. The limiting plate 23 provides radial limiting for the screw 51 to prevent abnormal rotation. The bottom of the lower housing 2 is provided with a support leg 25, and the side of the support leg 25 is also provided with a bearing seat 24 to maintain the horizontal posture of the drive shaft 5 and ensure stable meshing between the moving bevel gear and the driving bevel gear 52. The operating principle of the lifting mechanism: During production, the servo motor 7 is set to drive the conveyor roller 4 and brush in the cleaning machine housing to rotate normally via the control panel. The drive motor or drive shaft 5 is equipped with a Hall sensor. When the speed of the motor or drive shaft 5 is lower than a certain value, the control panel automatically determines that the roller conveyor is broken and then issues two commands at the same time: one is to use the above mechanism to raise the upper housing 1; the other is to reverse the drive roller conveyor so that the glass on the roller conveyor in the housing can be removed from the housing as soon as possible, thereby minimizing equipment damage and failure, and preventing the glass from being scrapped due to roller conveyor scratches. Controlled by the control panel and driven by the servo motor 7, the integrated chassis upper and lower transmission components, brush rotation components, and roller conveyor transmission components form a three-linkage system that ensures excellent product quality and shortens the time for handling anomalies.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a scraper 3, which is adapted to the width of the lower housing 2. A belt drive mechanism is provided below the lower brush roller 21. The belt drive mechanism includes a synchronous belt 31 and a pulley 32. The scraper 3 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 31, and the bottom of the scraper 3 has an arc-shaped structure. In the above structure, the rotation of the pulley 32 realizes the reciprocating movement of the scraper 3, thereby enabling repeated cleaning of broken glass in the lower housing 2 and preventing the accumulation of broken glass from affecting the normal operation of the equipment. The scraper 3 is designed to be arc-shaped, so that its movement is unobstructed and it is easy to make contact with the bottom plate of the lower housing 2, improving the efficiency of cleaning broken glass. Two sets of belt drive mechanisms are provided, and the pulleys 32 of the two sets of belt drive mechanisms are connected to a linkage shaft to achieve synchronous operation. The two ends of the scraper 3 are fixed on the synchronous belts 31 of the two sets of belt drive mechanisms respectively to achieve horizontal stability.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the lower housing 2 is equipped with multiple guide plates 6. The top of the guide plates 6 is connected to the bottom of the lower housing 2. The guide plates 6 are set at an angle. A water tank 61 is located below the bottom of the guide plates 6. A filter layer 62 is installed in the water tank 61. Through holes 63 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water tank 61. A water storage tank 64 is located at the bottom of the water tank 61. The guide plates 6 serve to collect water and a small amount of broken glass after glass cleaning. The inclined position of the guide plates 6 smoothly guides the water and broken glass into the water tank 61. The filter layer 62, composed of filter screens and filter sponges, is stacked in sequence in the water tank 61, which separates the water from the broken glass. The separated water enters the water storage tank 64 through the through holes 63. The water storage tank 64 is connected to a recycling system, a floor drain, or a sewer for reuse. The broken glass can be processed in the later stages of the process in the water tank 61 to achieve resource recycling and reduce production costs.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, a notch 22 is provided at one end of the bottom of the lower housing 2, and a broken glass collection bin 33 is provided below the notch 22. Rollers 34 are provided at the bottom of the broken glass collection bin 33. Pushing the broken glass collection bin 33 below the notch 22 can prevent water leakage. After most of the glass in the lower housing 2 is cleaned and scraped off by the scraper 3, it enters the broken glass collection bin 33 through the notch 22. When the broken glass collection bin 33 is full, it is moved by the rollers 34 for periodic recycling and disposal.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, conveying openings 45 are provided at the contact ends of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. The conveying openings 45 are height-matched with the conveying rollers 4, which not only facilitates the entry and exit of glass but also allows for easy integration of the device with the production line, thereby improving the overall efficiency of glass production.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the belt drive mechanism is connected to a crank handle 35, and the end of the crank handle 35 is provided with a hexagonal socket 36. The crank handle 35 is located outside the lower housing 2. The operator can use a tool to insert into the hexagonal socket 36 to rotate the pulley 32 in the belt drive mechanism, thereby driving the scraper 3 to move linearly and cleaning the broken glass in the lower housing 2.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the spray pipes 8 are evenly spaced, and each spray pipe 8 includes a nozzle 81. The nozzles 81 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the spray pipe 8, and the open end of the nozzle 81 is inclined. The multiple spray pipes 8 and nozzles 81 improve the cooling and cleaning efficiency of the glass. The inclined position of the nozzles 81 helps to spray the water flow to the contact area between the glass and the upper brush roller 11, thereby improving the cleanliness of the glass and the cooling and cleaning efficiency.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, both the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are equipped with servo motors 7 on their exteriors, and the servo motors 7 are connected to a pulley 72 mechanism. The pulley 72 mechanism includes multiple belts 71 and pulleys 72, which provide power for the rotation and cleaning process of the upper brush roller 11 and the lower brush roller 21 through the motor output. To achieve synchronous rotation of the entire brush roller driven by a single motor, two belts 71 are simultaneously and offset on the brush roller shaft 73 to achieve a linkage effect, which helps to reduce the complexity of the equipment. In addition, tensioning pulleys 74 are also provided in both the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 to ensure stable and reliable power transmission of the belts 71 in the pulley 72 mechanism. The above-mentioned motors and pulley 72 mechanisms are all designed on the outside of the device, which facilitates later maintenance, prevents moisture from affecting service life, and has no spatial interference with the internal components of the device.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a drive shaft 41 is provided on the outside of the lower housing 2. Multiple first bevel gears 43 are mounted on the drive shaft 41. The conveyor roller 4 includes a roller shaft 42, the end of which extends from the lower housing 2 and is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 44. The second bevel gear 44 meshes with the first bevel gears 43. The drive shaft 41 is used to connect to the power equipment of the production line. The operation of the conveyor roller 4 is achieved through the meshing transmission of the aforementioned bevel gears. A single drive shaft 41 can synchronously drive all the conveyor rollers 4 within the device, ensuring the consistency of the operating speed of the conveyor rollers 4 and guaranteeing a stable and reliable glass conveying process.

[0039] This glass cooling and cleaning device is equipped with a glass cleaning scraper 3. By turning the crank 35, the scraper 3 is reciprocated to clean broken glass to the broken glass collection box, making broken glass cleaning convenient. In addition, the use of water treatment devices such as water tank 61 and water storage tank 64 reduces water costs, which is conducive to reducing production costs and realizing resource recycling. The device also features a split-type structure for the box, which allows the upper box 1 to separate from the lower box 2 when glass breaks or cards malfunction. This facilitates the glass to be removed from the collection box as soon as possible, which is conducive to efficient collaboration among employees to handle abnormalities, thereby restoring the normal operation of the production line as soon as possible and improving the overall production efficiency of the production line.

[0040] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
