AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, when glass products are transported by conveyor belt, it is impossible to effectively avoid the influence of cold air in the annealing furnace on the glass belt, which leads to uneven cooling and may cause problems such as glass warping and cracking.
A homogenization assembly consisting of a Venturi tube and a flow guide is used to guide cold air away from the glass ribbon. The hot air in the annealing furnace is mixed with the cold air at the feed inlet by the preheating assembly, which avoids the cold air directly impacting the glass plate. At the same time, the Venturi effect is used to control the airflow speed and direction. Combined with the flow guide plate with a gradient structure and the preheating assembly, uniform cooling is ensured.
It effectively reduces the direct impact of cold air on the glass ribbon, prevents warping and cracking, ensures uniform cooling of the glass ribbon, and improves the annealing effect.
