Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical glass production technology, specifically a furnace feeding device for feeding optical glass into a furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Optical glass has a wide range of applications in modern technology. In the manufacturing process of optical glass, raw materials need to be fed into a melting furnace for processing. The uniform mixing of different raw materials is crucial to ensuring the quality of the glass. For raw materials such as quartz sand, borax, soda, mirabilite, limestone, and dolomite, traditional feeding devices lack the function of mixing raw materials. If the raw materials are not pre-mixed, uneven composition may occur in the furnace. Frequent adjustments and stirring are required during the melting process, which not only increases the complexity and difficulty of the operation, but may also affect the quality of the glass due to untimely or inaccurate adjustments. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a furnace feeding device for feeding optical glass furnaces. It solves the problem that traditional feeding devices lack the function of mixing raw materials. If the raw materials are not pre-mixed, there may be local uneven composition in the furnace. Frequent adjustments and stirring are required during the melting process, which not only increases the complexity and difficulty of operation, but may also affect the quality of glass due to untimely or inaccurate adjustments.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a furnace feeding device for feeding optical glass furnaces, comprising a base, a mixing chamber above the base, four pillars fixedly connected to the four corners below the mixing chamber, the bottoms of the four pillars fixedly connected to the top of the base, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the center of the mixing chamber, a plurality of stirring rods fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, an output motor fixedly installed on the top of the mixing chamber, the output end of the output motor connected to one end of the rotating rod, an inlet opening on the top of the mixing chamber on one side of the output motor, and an inclined design at the bottom of the mixing chamber with a discharge port, a baffle slidably connected to one side of the discharge port, the size of the baffle matching the size of the discharge port.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing block is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base near its side, and a telescopic rod is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block, with the end of the telescopic rod connected to one side of the baffle.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a collection port is fixedly installed at the center of the base, the position of the collection port corresponds to the position of the discharge port, and the bottom is designed with an inclination.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a support bracket is fixedly installed below the base, a conveying pipe is fixedly installed above the support bracket, and the bottom of the collection port is connected to one side of the conveying pipe.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an auger is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the conveying pipe, a conveying motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying pipe, and the output end of the conveying motor is connected to one end of the auger.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying pipe is designed with an inclination, and a feeding port is provided near the top of the conveying pipe.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This furnace feeding device for optical glass melting furnaces, by setting up a mixing chamber, a rotating rod, and a stirring rod, allows various raw materials to be fed into the mixing chamber through the inlet before the furnace is filled. The output motor drives the rotating rod to rotate in the mixing chamber, and the rotating rod drives the stirring rod to mix the various raw materials in the mixing chamber. In this way, the various raw materials can be evenly distributed before entering the furnace, thereby ensuring that the glass composition is uniform during the melting process, which is beneficial to improving the optical performance and quality stability of the glass.
[0012] 2. This furnace feeding device for optical glass melting furnaces, by setting up a conveying pipe, a conveying motor and an auger, allows raw materials to enter the conveying pipe from the mixing chamber through the collection port. The conveying motor drives the auger to rotate inside the conveying pipe, and the rotation of the auger transports the raw materials in the conveying pipe to the feeding port and then to the designated location. In this way, raw materials can be stably transported over a long distance, ensuring a continuous and stable supply of raw materials and avoiding interruptions or fluctuations in the supply of raw materials in the furnace due to unstable conveying, which would affect the continuity and stability of the melting process.

[0017] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a furnace feeding device for feeding optical glass furnaces, including a base 1, a mixing chamber 2 above the base 1, four support pillars 3 fixedly connected to the four corners below the mixing chamber 2, the bottoms of the four support pillars 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a rotating rod 4 rotatably connected at the center of the mixing chamber 2, and several stirring rods 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 4. Through the cooperation between the rotating rod 4 and the stirring rods 5, an output motor 6 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 4 in the mixing chamber 2 drives the several stirring rods 5 on its outer wall to rotate and stir in the mixing chamber 2, which can stir the mixture in the mixing chamber 2. The raw materials are thoroughly stirred to ensure uniform mixing between different raw materials, thereby ensuring consistent glass composition during the melting process. An output motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing chamber 2. The output end of the output motor 6 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 4. An inlet 7 is opened on the top of the mixing chamber 2 on one side of the output motor 6. The bottom of the mixing chamber 2 is designed with an inclined shape and has a discharge port 8. A baffle 9 is slidably connected to one side of the discharge port 8. Because of the baffle 9, when the baffle 9 is at the discharge port 8, it blocks the discharge port 8 and prevents the raw materials from leaking from the discharge port 8 when the mixing chamber 2 is mixing raw materials. The size of the baffle 9 matches the size of the discharge port 8.
[0019] A fixing block 10 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1 near its side. A telescopic rod 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 10. The end of the telescopic rod 11 is connected to one side of the baffle 9. Through the cooperation between the telescopic rod 11 and the baffle 9, the telescopic rod 11 extends or shortens, causing the baffle 9 to slide on one side of the discharge port 8, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate of raw materials from the mixing chamber 2 to the discharge port. The discharge speed and amount can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to avoid the situation where a large amount of raw materials flow out at once, causing blockage or unevenness in the subsequent conveying process. A collection port 12 is fixedly installed at the center of the base 1. The position of the collection port 12 corresponds to the position of the discharge port 8 and the bottom is designed with an inclination. After the collection port 12 collects the raw materials flowing out of the discharge port 8 of the mixing chamber 2, the inclination bottom design helps the raw materials to quickly and completely enter the conveying pipe 14 for the subsequent conveying process, preventing the raw materials from accumulating at the collection port 12.
[0020] A support bracket 13 is fixedly installed below the base 1, and a conveying pipe 14 is fixedly installed above the support bracket 13. The conveying pipe 14 is designed with an inclination. A feeding port 17 is provided near the top of the conveying pipe 14. The bottom of the collecting port 12 is connected to one side of the conveying pipe 14. An auger 15 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the conveying pipe 14. A conveying motor 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying pipe 14. The output end of the conveying motor 16 is connected to one end of the auger 15. Because of the auger 15, the auger 15 can achieve sealed conveying during the rotation and conveying process in the conveying pipe 14, reducing the flying and leakage of raw materials, reducing dust pollution, improving the production environment, and also reducing the waste and loss of raw materials.
[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the device, the raw materials are input into the mixing chamber 2 through the inlet 7. The output motor 6 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, and the rotating rod 4 drives the stirring rod 5 on its outer wall to rotate and mix the raw materials in the mixing chamber 2. After mixing, the telescopic rod 11 drives the baffle 9 to move at the discharge port 8, so that the baffle 9 no longer blocks the discharge port 8. At the same time, the flow rate of the raw materials is controlled. The raw materials pass through the discharge port 8 and enter the collection port 12. They then enter the conveying pipe 14 along the inclined surface of the collection port 12. The conveying motor 16 drives the auger 15 to rotate in the conveying pipe 14, conveying the raw materials collected at the collection port 12 to the feeding port 17, and then conveying them to the designated position through the feeding port 17 for use of the device.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
