AI Technical Summary
The existing bottleneck water tanks have poor flow at the corners, which leads to excessively high local temperatures and easy scaling. In addition, the inlet and outlet connections are prone to detachment, resulting in frequent production accidents.
The water jacket body has an internally hollow, bent structure with an arc-shaped chamfered bend. It is divided into upper and lower cooling chambers by a partition plate. The joint adopts a connecting pipe, a rotating connector, and a locking sleeve design to ensure smooth flow of cooling water and prevent it from falling off.
This solved the problems of poor water flow and connection detachment in the water tank, improving production safety and quality and reducing the accident rate.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a bottleneck water tank for a glass furnace, belonging to the field of glass production technology. Background Technology
[0002] The neck-locking water tank is a crucial component in glass furnaces for clarifying molten glass. While existing neck-locking water tanks, such as the glass furnace neck-locking water tank device disclosed in utility model patent CN222665683U, can meet certain usage requirements, they have the following problems:
[0003] First, the existing bottleneck water tank has a right-angle structure at the corner. When cooling water flows through the right-angle structure, there is a problem of poor flow at the right-angle position. This can lead to two problems: first, the local temperature of the bottleneck water tank is too high, which affects the production quality; second, scale is very easy to form at the right-angle position, which can affect the flow rate of cooling water.
[0004] Second: The existing bottleneck water tanks are connected at the inlet and outlet by clamps and guide hoses; the bottleneck water tanks often experience clamp detachment during movement, leading to frequent production accidents.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of water bag that addresses the above-mentioned problems of existing water bags that are prone to bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The bottleneck water tank of this glass furnace includes the water tank body 1, the water inlet connector 7, and the water outlet connector 8 (see the instruction manual). Figure 1 ).
[0025] The water jacket body 1 has an internally hollow, bent structure; the bent part of the water jacket body 1 has an arc-shaped chamfered structure 2; the tail end of the water jacket body 1 has a semi-circular structure 3; a partition plate 4 is provided in the middle of the water jacket body 1; the partition plate 4 divides the water jacket body 1 into an upper cooling chamber 5 and a lower cooling chamber 6.
[0026] The upper cooling chamber 5 and the lower cooling chamber 6 are interconnected at one end via a semi-circular structure 3 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 The purpose of setting the water tank body 1 in this way is that during operation, the cooling water enters from the lower cooling chamber 6, passes through the semi-circular structure 3, enters the upper cooling chamber 5, and is finally output. During this process, as the cooling water flows through the semi-circular structure 3 and the arc-shaped chamfered structure 2, the cooling water will pass smoothly and quickly under the guidance of the arc surface, thereby avoiding the problem of poor flow at the right angle position of the existing bottleneck water tank.
[0027] The upper cooling chamber 5 is equipped with a water outlet connector 8 at one end; the lower cooling chamber 6 is equipped with a water inlet connector 7 at one end (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 Both the outlet connector 8 and the inlet connector 7 include a connecting pipe 9, a rotating connector 10, a clamping pipe 11, and a locking sleeve 12 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 2 and 3 ).
[0028] One end of the connecting pipe 9 is fitted with a clamping pipe 11 via a rotary connector 10. The rotary connector 10 includes a sealing ring 17, a clamping clamp 18, and a face bearing 16; both one end of the connecting pipe 9 and one end of the corresponding clamping pipe 11 are provided with a flange face 15; a face bearing 16 and a sealing ring 17 are installed between the flange face 15 of the connecting pipe 9 and the flange face 15 of the clamping pipe 11; a clamping clamp 18 is clamped onto the outer edge of the flange face 15 of the connecting pipe 9 and the flange face 15 of the clamping pipe 11.
[0029] The snap-fit clamp 18 includes two sets of semi-circular clamps 19; one end of each semi-circular clamp 19 is connected to the other by a rotating pin 20; the other end of each semi-circular clamp 19 is provided with a connecting lug 21; the connecting lugs 21 of the semi-circular clamps 19 are connected to the other by assembly bolts 22; the interior of each semi-circular clamp 19 is provided with a limiting annular groove 23 (see the appendix of the instruction manual). Figure 5 The clamping clamp 18 can movably install the connecting pipe 9 and the clamping pipe 11 together through the limiting ring groove 23; when the clamping pipe 11 is under force, the clamping pipe 11 will rotate freely under the cooperation of the face bearing 16 and the sealing ring 17.
[0030] The outer thread of the retaining tube 11 is connected to a locking sleeve 12. The port of the locking sleeve 12 is provided with a locking bevel 13 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 3 and 7 The surface of the clamping tube 11 on one side of the locking sleeve 12 is provided with a clamping ring ridge 14 with an "arc" interface. The purpose of setting the clamping tube 11 and locking sleeve 12 in this way is: so that when the guide tube 24 is inserted into the clamping tube 11 during operation, the clamping ring ridge 14 can support the guide tube 24 from the inside; then tighten the locking sleeve 12; the locking sleeve 12 can clamp and fix the guide tube 24 under the support of the clamping ring ridge 14 through the locking slope 13. In this way, the guide tube 24 can be locked and fixed on the inlet connector 7 and the outlet connector 8 by the locking sleeve 12, thereby avoiding the problem of easy detachment when the guide tube 24 is installed by the existing neck water tank using clamps.
[0031] When the water tank of the glass furnace is working, the cooling water enters the lower cooling chamber 6 through the guide pipe 24 and the water inlet connector 7, then enters the upper cooling chamber 5 through the semi-circular structure 3, and finally exits through the water outlet connector 8 and the guide pipe 24.
[0032] During the operation of this water tank with a clamp, when the water tank moves, the water tank body 1 can move the guide pipe 24 together through the inlet connector 7 and the outlet connector 8. During this process, the clamping pipe 11 in the inlet connector 7 and the outlet connector 8 can rotate according to the force applied, so that the guide pipe 24 is always only affected by tensile and compressive forces and not by torsional forces, thus making the force on the guide pipe 24 more reasonable and reducing the risk of it falling off.
[0033] The water tank for this glass furnace is compact and ingeniously designed. It adopts a technical solution of using an arc-shaped chamfer structure 2 at the bend of the water tank body 1 and a structural design for installing the water outlet connector 8 and the water inlet connector 7. This solves the problems of easy scaling and frequent production accidents that exist in the existing water tanks for glass furnaces, and is particularly suitable for the needs of glass furnace production.
