TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to glass production technical field especially relates to a bottle and jar material channel system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the traditional glass production process, the kiln material channel is one of the core links that affect the quality of glass products. After the glass liquid completes high-temperature melting in the kiln, it flows to the product machine through the material channel for forming processing. However, due to the differences in production processes of different glass bottle and jar products, the temperature requirements for glass liquid are extremely strict and must be controlled within a specific range. In actual production scenarios, once the temperature of the material channel fluctuates abnormally, such as being too high or too low, the glass liquid is extremely prone to defects such as glass stripes, bubbles, and nodules in the subsequent forming process, which seriously affect the quality of products. These defects not only cause the yield of products to decrease significantly, increasing production costs, but also may affect the competitiveness of products in the market. The existing technical solutions have obvious deficiencies in the precision and stability of temperature control in the glass material channel as shown in the prior art, and it is difficult to meet the increasingly improved production demand and product quality standards.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly, the following will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0022] EMBODIMENT

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The main channel body of the utility model is carefully made of high-quality refractory material, has excellent high-temperature resistance and heat insulation performance, and can ensure stable operation in a high-temperature environment. The structure mainly includes one main channel 1 and four branch channels 2, which are cleverly separated by partition bricks 3 in the flame space to form a total of 19 independent areas, which are named as area 1, area 2, area 3, area 4, area 5, area 6, area 7, area 8, area 9, area 10, area 11, area 12, area 13, area 14, area 15, area 16, area 17, area 18 and area 19. The bottom of each area is a glass liquid channel, and the glass liquid can flow smoothly therein, while the upper flame area is effectively isolated by the partition bricks 3 to prevent heat from being conducted disorderly between different areas, thereby creating favorable conditions for independent temperature control. A thermocouple is accurately installed in each area, and the thermocouple as a key sensor for temperature measurement can monitor the temperature change of the area in real time and accurately.

[0024] Specifically, in the glass production process, first, raw materials such as quartz sand are put into the kiln, and after high-temperature heating and complex chemical reactions, the glass liquid is melted. The glass liquid then flows into the main channel 1, where it is preliminarily stabilized in temperature and distributed in flow, and then flows into the four branch channels 2 according to production needs. The end of each branch channel 2 is provided with a discharge port, and the glass liquid accurately enters the corresponding product machine through the discharge port, and after a series of process steps such as molding and cooling in the product machine, various different shapes and specifications of glass bottles and cans are finally made. Each branch channel 2 is connected to an independent bottle production line, realizing efficient shunting and orderly management of the production process, ensuring that the production processes of different products do not interfere with each other, and further improving the flexibility and quality stability of production.

[0025] Specifically, the control system of this material channel structure is a highly integrated and intelligent system, mainly composed of four core parts working closely together: refractory brick material channel, combustion system, thermocouple temperature measurement system, and computer control system.

[0026] Specifically, the combustion system, as a key component of the heat supply, is equipped with multiple advanced burners 4. These burners 4 generate high-temperature flames by burning natural gas, providing heat to the molten glass in the feed channel. The burners 4 can quickly respond to temperature adjustment needs, ensuring the timeliness and stability of the heat supply. Their flame size can be adjusted according to instructions from the control system.

[0027] Specifically, the thermocouple temperature measurement system employs high-precision thermocouple sensors, evenly distributed across 19 areas of the material channel, forming a comprehensive, blind-spot-free temperature monitoring network. These thermocouples can rapidly and accurately feed back the measured temperature data to the kiln control system in the form of electrical signals in real time, ensuring that the kiln control system can obtain the latest temperature information in a timely manner, providing a basis for subsequent control decisions.

[0028] Specifically, the computer control system adopts a general industrial computer human-machine interface, which is simple, intuitive, and easy to operate. The system has data acquisition capabilities, capable of simultaneously receiving large amounts of temperature data from the thermocouple temperature measurement system and performing real-time analysis and processing. Based on preset parameters of the production process and actual measured temperature data, the computer control system automatically generates precise control commands and sends these commands to the combustion control valve group, achieving intelligent control of the combustion system. Furthermore, the computer control system has rich graphical and data display functions, capable of intuitively displaying temperature change trends and historical data in various areas of the material channel in the form of charts and curves, allowing operators to easily understand the temperature status during production. Simultaneously, the system can transmit detection data from each stage to the monitoring terminal in the control room and the enterprise's internal network system via wired or wireless networks. Operators can conveniently and quickly modify technical parameters, such as temperature setpoints, temperature control accuracy ranges, and natural gas flow adjustment steps, whether at the control room console or through remote login to the network software interface, achieving real-time monitoring and remote control of the production process, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of production management. The above is existing technology and will not be elaborated further in this application.

[0029] Specifically, thermocouples, as the core component for temperature monitoring, operate continuously and stably in 19 zones of the feed channel. For example, during production, when a slight change occurs in the temperature of the molten glass in Zone 1, the thermocouple in that zone can instantly detect this change and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal. This electrical signal is then fed back to the kiln control system at high speed and with high accuracy through pre-laid high-temperature resistant and interference-resistant signal transmission lines (such as shielded twisted-pair cables, whose shielding layer effectively resists external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal transmission). Upon receiving the data, the kiln control system immediately analyzes and processes it, extracting the numerical and trend information of the temperature change, providing a precise data basis for subsequent control decisions.

[0030] Specifically, the kiln control system performs rapid calculations and analyses based on pre-set temperature parameters for the production process (such as the temperature requirements of different products at different production stages for different zones of molten glass; these parameters can be stored in the system's database and flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs) and real-time temperature data fed back from thermocouples. It utilizes built-in existing control algorithms (such as PID control algorithms, which achieve precise temperature control through dynamic adjustment of proportional, integral, and derivative parameters). When the calculation results indicate that temperature adjustment is necessary, the kiln control system quickly sends precise control signals to the combustion control valve assembly.

[0031] For example, when the temperature in zone 5 is too low, the system calculates and determines that the natural gas supply needs to be increased. It then sends a corresponding signal to the combustion control valve assembly. Upon receiving the signal, the combustion control valve assembly precisely controls the valve opening to increase the natural gas supply to burner 4 in that zone. With more natural gas, burner 4's flame intensity increases, releasing more heat, thus gradually raising the temperature of the molten glass in zone 5, achieving precise temperature regulation.

[0032] Specifically, after the combustion system adjusts the feed channel temperature, the temperature of the molten glass will change accordingly. At this time, the thermocouples play a crucial role again, quickly measuring the changed temperature and promptly feeding the new temperature data back to the kiln control system. The kiln control system recalculates and analyzes the new data to determine whether the temperature has reached the preset range. If the temperature still deviates from the preset value, the system will continue to send control signals to adjust the combustion system, thus creating a precise closed-loop control circuit. For example, during a temperature adjustment process, after the initial adjustment, the temperature in zone 10 may rise but has not yet reached the preset optimal temperature range. Based on the new temperature data fed back by the thermocouples, the kiln control system recalculates and adjusts the opening of the combustion control valve assembly, further fine-tuning the natural gas flow until the temperature in zone 10 stabilizes within the preset range, achieving long-term, stable, and precise closed-loop control of the temperature in each zone. This closed-loop control mechanism effectively maintains the dynamic balance of temperature within the feed channel, ensuring that the molten glass remains in a stable temperature environment throughout the entire production process. This significantly improves glass quality, reduces defects such as glass streaks, bubbles, and lumps caused by abnormal temperatures, and increases product yield and production efficiency, bringing significant economic benefits and market competitiveness to glass manufacturers.
