[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] See Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a glass washing machine, including a frame 1, a channel 2 for air drying glass on the frame 1, and two sets of air knife assemblies located above and below the glass respectively in the channel 2. The two sets of air knife assemblies are connected to the frame 1 through a position adjustment assembly.
[0024] For glass of different specifications and levels of contamination, the position adjustment component allows for individual manual adjustment of the height and tilt angle of each air knife in the two sets of air knife assemblies. This ensures that the air pressure evenly covers the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. By adjusting the air knife layout, the glass is dried evenly, improving glass quality and making it widely applicable.
[0025] The two sets of air knife assemblies each consist of three angled air knives 3 and one straight air knife 4. Each set of three angled air knives 3 and one straight air knife 4 is distributed along the conveying direction of the cleaning machine. The angle between the three angled air knives 3 and one straight air knife 4 is 0°-25°. Air inlet connectors 5 and tailpipes 6 are installed at both ends of the three angled air knives 3 and one straight air knife 4, respectively. A high-speed quantum fan supplies air to the two sets of air knife assemblies through the air inlet connectors 5. The fan speed ranges from 15,000 to 60,000 RPM and features high efficiency, energy saving, low noise, and long service life. The fan is frequency-controlled, allowing real-time speed adjustment according to cleaning needs to adapt to glass of different sizes and levels of contamination.
[0026] The frame 1 is provided with a plurality of T-slots 15 with narrowing, and the plurality of T-slots 15 with narrowing extend along the length direction of the frame 1.
[0027] The position adjustment assembly includes an expansion sleeve 61, which is installed on the body of the tail pipe 6. The connector 11 is fixed to the constriction T-slot 15 by two bolts. The frame 1 is connected to the expansion sleeve bracket 12 by the connector 11. The expansion sleeve bracket 12 has a circular through hole 121 for the expansion sleeve 61 to rotate. The tail pipe 6 passes through the circular through hole 121 and extends outward. The side of the expansion sleeve 61 has two screw holes. The expansion sleeve bracket 12 has two through holes. The expansion sleeve 61 and the expansion sleeve bracket 12 are fixed by two screws located above and below the expansion sleeve 61, respectively. An arc-shaped lower clamp 51 is fixedly installed on the side of the air inlet connector 5. The frame 1 is connected to an arc-shaped upper clamp 14 by an L-shaped connector 13. The two ends of the upper clamp 14 and the two ends of the lower clamp 51 are fixed to the air inlet connector 5 by bolts. When adjusting the angle of the oblique air knife 3 or the straight air knife 4, manually move the air inlet connector 5, and rotate the expansion sleeve 61 within the circular through hole 121. Then, lock and fix the air inlet connector 5 and the expansion sleeve 61.
[0028] The expansion sleeve bracket 12 is provided with two sets of first vertical strip-shaped through holes 122 for bolts to pass through into the constriction T-shaped groove 15 and fix to the frame 1, so that the height of the inclined air knife 3 and the straight air knife 4 located at one end of the tail pipe 6 can be adjusted within the range of the first vertical strip-shaped through holes 122 on the frame 1.
[0029] The connector 11 is provided with a transverse strip-shaped through hole 111 for bolts to pass through and be fixed to the threaded hole of the expansion sleeve bracket 12. Because the inclined air knife 3 is set at an angle, the length of its tail tube 6 extending out of the frame 1 is shorter than that of the straight air knife 4. The expansion sleeve bracket 12 can be fixed within the range of the transverse strip-shaped through hole 111. The length of the tail tube 6 extending out of the frame 1 can be adjusted within the range of the transverse strip-shaped through hole 111, so that the tail tubes 6 of both the inclined air knife 3 and the straight air knife 4 can be fixed to the frame 1 through the expansion sleeve bracket 12 and the connector 11.
[0030] The L-shaped connector 13 has two second vertical strip-shaped through holes 131 for bolts to pass through into the constriction T-shaped groove 15 and fix to the frame 1, so that the height of the oblique air knife 3 and the straight air knife 4 located at the air inlet connector 5 can be adjusted within the range of the two second vertical strip-shaped through holes 131 on the frame 1.
[0031] Multiple air knife openings 7 are provided on the sides of the oblique air knife 3 and the straight air knife 4 along their pipe length direction. The opening size of the multiple air knife openings 7 is adjusted by screws that penetrate the side of the oblique air knife 3 or the straight air knife 4 and extend to the outside.
[0032] An angle scale is provided on the upper clamp 14 to mark the tilt angle of the oblique wind knife 3.
[0033] In this technology, the height and tilt angle of each air knife in the two sets of air knife assemblies can be manually adjusted individually. According to the test, the air drying effect is best when the distance between the air knife blade 7 and the upper and lower surfaces of the glass is 2-5mm and the air blowing direction of the air knife blade 7 forms an angle of 20°-45° with the glass surface.
[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
