Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a glass mixture testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Glass mixtures are raw material mixtures used in glass manufacturing. They are typically composed of multiple components mixed in specific proportions. After mixing the raw materials in these proportions, they are melted at high temperatures and then shaped and cooled to form glass products. The density of the glass mixture is crucial to the glass manufacturing process. Therefore, the density of the glass mixture needs to be tested before processing. Common methods for testing the density of glass mixtures involve manual sampling, weighing the samples, and calculating the density using a formula. This process is not only inefficient but also prone to errors due to the limited number of samples taken. Furthermore, multiple manual samplings are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Existing powder testing equipment, such as the powder density testing device disclosed in Chinese Patent 201922017815.1, uses a Leigh flask for water bath measurement, which is complex to operate and inconvenient to use.

[0032] Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the glass mixture testing device of this application is illustrated schematically.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this application discloses a glass mixture testing device, which includes: a platform assembly 10, which includes a testing platform 11; a storage assembly 20, disposed on the testing platform 11, including a mounting frame 21 and a storage tank 22, with the storage tank 22 suspended in the mounting frame 21 and a valve mechanism for controlling material discharge at the bottom of the storage tank 22; a sampling assembly 30, disposed on the testing platform 11, including a sampling plate 31 and a driving mechanism; the sampling plate 31 is positioned below the storage tank 22, and multiple sets of sampling cups 32 are placed on it; the driving mechanism drives the sampling plate 31 to rotate; and a weighing assembly 40, disposed on the testing platform 11, including a calculation mechanism 41 and multiple sets of weighing platforms 42. Each weighing platform 42 is electrically connected to the calculation mechanism 41.
[0034] Through the above structural design, the detection device of this application automatically takes samples from the storage tank 22 by setting up a sampling plate 31 and a driving mechanism, eliminating the need for manual filling and saving time for manual sampling. Moreover, the detection device of this application is equipped with a weighing component 40, which can quickly realize weighing calculation through a weighing mechanism 44 and a calculation mechanism 41, improving detection efficiency and reducing the waste of manual labor.
[0035] The calculation mechanism 41 is an electronic calculator, similar to existing electronic scales, with an automatic tare (i.e., weight of sampling cup 32) function. It can automatically calculate the average value of the glass mixture in multiple sampling cups 32 based on the weight and volume of the sampling cup 32 using a built-in averaging formula, reducing errors and improving detection efficiency. Understandably, the calculation mechanism 41 can be implemented using a simple microcontroller or similar circuit, similar to existing electronic scales. The averaging formula used is simply a summation and averaging calculation, and is a value known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a discharge pipe 23 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 22. The valve mechanism includes a solenoid valve 24, which is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 23 and is used to control the discharge action of the storage tank 22. By automatically controlling the discharge action of the storage tank 22 through the solenoid valve 24, and cooperating with the rotation action of the sampling plate 31, glass mixture samples can be quickly injected into multiple sampling cups 32 one by one. The testing personnel only need to transfer the sampling cups 32 to the weighing component 40, and the weighing component 40 can automatically calculate the average density of the mixture, thereby improving the testing efficiency from both sampling and calculation aspects.
[0037] A timer can be installed at the solenoid valve 24 to automatically and accurately determine the sample volume injected into each sampling cup 32 by setting the discharge time and the known flow rate of the solenoid valve 24. Alternatively, the sampling cup 32 can also be a measuring cup, and the sample volume inside can be read manually when transferring the sampling cup 32.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the calculation mechanism 41 is provided with a display mechanism and an input mechanism, which can display the result of the average density and allow manual input of the weight of the sampling cup 32 and the sample volume. The display mechanism and the input mechanism can be a separate display screen and keyboard, or a touch screen with input and output functions. Each sampling cup 32 is provided with a number label to distinguish each sampling cup 32, so that its weight value can be changed when a sampling cup 32 is damaged and replaced.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic tube 25 is connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe 23, allowing it to extend and retract, shortening the distance between the discharge port and the sampling cup 32, thereby reducing the problem of material spillage during discharge. Correspondingly, an electric actuator 26 is connected to the side of the discharge pipe 23, and a connecting ring 27 is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic tube 25. The output end of the electric actuator 26 is connected to the connecting ring 27. Through the electric actuator 26, the telescopic tube 25 can be automatically extended and retracted, thus forming a continuous material discharge and sampling action. In the embodiments of this application, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom end of the connecting ring 27 is also connected to a leak-proof cover 28. The leak-proof cover 28 is used to further prevent the mixture from spilling and to ensure that the amount of sample held in the sampling cup 32 is accurate.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, a fixing block 29 is provided at the output end of the electric actuator 26, and the side of the connecting ring 27 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 29. The electric actuator 26 drives the connecting ring 27 to move through the fixing block 29, thereby driving the telescopic tube 25 to extend and retract. In some embodiments of this application, the stroke of the electric actuator 26 can be manually preset to match the height of the sampling cup 32.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sampling disk 31 has a circular structure, and several support blocks 33 are provided on the outer side of the sampling disk 31. The bottom of each support block 33 is connected to a rolling element 34 that contacts the detection table 11. The rolling element 34 is freely rotatable on the detection table 11. In this embodiment, the rolling element 34 is a ball bearing. The driving mechanism includes a drive motor 35, which is installed at the bottom of the detection table 11. The output end of the drive motor 35 is coaxially connected to the sampling disk 31, thereby driving the sampling disk 31 to rotate around the center, so that each sampling cup 32 on the sampling disk 31 rotates sequentially to the direct below the discharge pipe 23 for automatic material collection.
[0042] In this embodiment, the testing platform 11 is provided with support legs 12 on both sides. The support legs 12 support the testing platform 11 and provide space for the installation of the drive motor 35.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, at least three sets of support blocks 33 are provided, and each support block 33 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the sampling disk 31. By defining a plane through three or more points, the sampling disk 31 is stably supported, so that the rotation of the sampling disk 31 is smooth and reliable, and the sampling cup 32 is prevented from shaking and spilling.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple placement slots 36 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the sampling tray 31. When each placement slot 36 rotates, it passes directly below the discharge port of the storage tank 22. A sampling cup 32 is placed in the placement slot 36 so that the sampling cup 32 is directly below the discharge pipe 23. The bottom of the placement slot 36 is covered with an anti-slip mat to prevent the sampling cup 32 from sliding or shifting when the sampling tray 31 rotates, thus preventing the sampling cup 32 from bumping or spilling.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the storage tank 22 has a feed inlet 221 at its top for pre-filling of samples. In actual production, the storage tank 22 is located in the glass mixing production workshop. Pre-mixed samples can be fed into the storage tank 22 via a conveying pipe, and the results can be promptly fed back after on-site testing, facilitating adjustments to the mixing ratio. A viewing window 222 is provided on the side of the storage tank 22 for easy observation of the sample quantity within. The bottom of the storage tank 22 has a funnel-shaped structure to allow the samples to flow out smoothly.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, a drying box is provided above the interior of the storage tank 22. The drying box contains a perforated shelf with a receiving groove for placing desiccant. By providing the drying box, desiccant can be added when needed, and the perforated shelf allows for drying of moisture inside the storage tank 22, preventing density changes caused by moisture absorption by the mixture, improving density detection accuracy, and preventing the mixture from clumping and affecting the consistency of the output.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the weighing assembly 40 also includes a testing frame 43. A calculation mechanism 41 is installed on the top of the testing frame 43 to facilitate personnel observation of weighing results and input of the tare weight and volume of the sampling cup 32. The testing frame 43 has multiple layers of weighing platforms 42 installed inside. Each weighing platform 42 includes a weighing mechanism 44 and a weight display 45. The weighing mechanism 44 is electrically connected to the weight display 45 and the calculation mechanism 41, sending the weighing results to the calculation mechanism 41 for calculation and displaying them in real time for the testing personnel to refer to.
[0048] Combination Figures 1 to 4 Explain the working principle of this application:
[0049] In this embodiment, the glass mixture is first injected into the storage tank 22, and then sampled through the sampling cup 32. Before sampling, the electric actuator 26 pushes the connecting ring 27 downwards, causing the leak-proof cover 28 to cover the mouth of the sampling cup 32. Then, the solenoid valve 24 of the discharge pipe 23 opens, and the glass mixture enters the sampling cup 32 through the telescopic tube 25. The leak-proof cover 28 prevents the glass mixture from splashing out during discharge. During sampling, the glass mixture is discharged from the storage tank 22 and collected by the sampling cup 32. After the sampling cup 32 located directly below the discharge pipe 23 is full, the solenoid valve 24 of the discharge pipe 23 is temporarily closed. The drive motor 35 drives the sampling disc 31 to rotate, causing another set of empty sampling cups 32 to move directly below the discharge pipe 23 to continue sampling. In this embodiment, the sampling plate 31 can continuously perform six sets of sampling. After the six sets of sampling cups 32 have been sampled, the staff places the sampling cups 32 containing the glass mixture one by one on the weighing platform 42. One weighing platform 42 can weigh two sets of sampling cups 32 at the same time. After weighing, the weight display 45 can display the weight data. The weighing mechanism 44 can transmit the obtained data to the calculation mechanism 41. By inputting the weight and volume of the empty sampling cups 32 into the calculation mechanism 41 in advance, and then based on the weight of the subsequent weighing, the bulk density of the glass mixture can be quickly calculated. Moreover, multiple sets of sampling data can reduce the calculation error and realize the functions of rapid detection and error reduction.
[0050] In summary, the glass mixture testing device of this application includes: a platform assembly, which includes a testing platform; a storage assembly, disposed on the testing platform, including a mounting frame and a storage tank, wherein the mounting frame suspends the storage tank and a valve mechanism for controlling material discharge is provided at the bottom of the storage tank; a sampling assembly, disposed on the testing platform, including a sampling plate and a driving mechanism; the sampling plate is placed below the storage tank and multiple sets of sampling cups are placed on it; the driving mechanism drives the sampling plate to rotate; and a weighing assembly, disposed on the testing platform, including a calculation mechanism and multiple weighing platforms; each weighing platform is electrically connected to the calculation mechanism.
