Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of water-saving and recycling technology in cleaning, and more specifically to a water-saving and recycling system in the glass cleaning and tempering process. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass manufacturing and processing industry, cleaning and tempering are two crucial steps that directly affect the quality and performance of the finished glass products. Before tempering, glass needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove surface dust, oil, impurities, etc., to ensure the smooth progress of the tempering process and the quality of the tempered glass. However, there are currently many problems with the utilization and treatment of water resources in the glass cleaning and tempering process, which urgently need to be solved.
[0003] Traditional glass cleaning processes typically use large amounts of fresh water for rinsing to ensure the cleanliness of the glass surface. This method not only results in a significant waste of water resources but also increases the production costs for businesses.
[0004] Currently, although existing glass cleaning systems use water circulation systems, these systems generally suffer from incomplete filtration and poor water purification. At the same time, during the cleaning process, usually only one side can be thoroughly cleaned, while the other side is often poorly cleaned, requiring additional flipping operations. This not only increases production steps and time costs but also easily causes secondary contamination and damage to the glass during the flipping process.
[0005] In addition, existing cleaning equipment is difficult to adjust flexibly according to different glass specifications and cleaning requirements, has poor adaptability, and cannot meet diverse production needs. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-saving circulation system for the glass cleaning and tempering process. The transmission roller, in conjunction with a central flipping mechanism, allows the glass to be flexibly flipped during transport, ensuring thorough cleaning of both sides and significantly improving the cleaning effect. The cleaning tank is slidably connected to a side baffle, and its height is controlled by a cylinder at the bottom. The height of the cleaning tank can be flexibly adjusted according to the different thicknesses, shapes, and levels of dirt on the glass, precisely controlling the distance between the spray nozzles and the glass. This ensures cleaning power while avoiding water waste due to excessive spraying. Furthermore, a circulating water pump within the system pumps water from the storage tank to the cleaning tank, forming a closed water circulation path. Simultaneously, a filter effectively intercepts glass fragments and impurities, purifying the circulating water and ensuring that the cleaning water maintains a high level of cleanliness, extending the water recycling cycle and achieving the goal of water conservation. This addresses the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A water-saving circulation system for glass cleaning and tempering process includes a water storage tank. Baffles are fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the water storage tank, and a cleaning box is provided in one side of the baffle. The cleaning box is slidably connected to the baffle and has multiple water spray holes. Multiple transmission rollers are provided on the top of the water storage tank and are rotatably connected to the water storage tank. A flipping mechanism is provided at the middle position of the transmission rollers.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the flipping mechanism includes a drive shaft, which is rotatably connected to the water storage tank, and one end of the drive shaft extends to the outside of the cleaning tank and is fitted with a servo motor. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive shaft, and four card plates are fixedly connected to the fixing block, with card slots provided on the card plates.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the cleaning box is provided with a fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the cleaning box. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the cleaning box.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a circulating water pump is provided on one side of the cylinder. The circulating water pump is fixedly connected to the outside of the water storage tank, and a water suction pipe is installed at the water inlet of the circulating water pump. The other end of the water suction pipe extends into the inside of the water storage tank. A flexible hose is installed at the water outlet at the top of the circulating water pump, and the other end of the flexible hose extends into the inside of the cleaning tank.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a cleaning roller is provided on one side of the transmission roller. The cleaning roller is rotatably connected to the water storage tank and has multiple bristles on it.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the cleaning roller is provided with a filter screen, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank, and multiple rectangular holes are opened on the filter screen.
[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the water storage tank is fixedly connected with four casters, and the casters are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two support legs are provided on each side bottom of the water storage tank, and the support legs are threadedly connected to the water storage tank; a water outlet valve is connected to one side bottom of the water storage tank.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] In this invention, the flipping mechanism in the middle of the transmission roller can achieve the flipping operation during the glass conveying process. Combined with multiple water spray holes on the cleaning box, it ensures that both sides of the glass can be thoroughly cleaned, effectively removing various impurities from the glass surface and greatly improving the cleanliness of the glass, thus providing a high-quality foundation for the subsequent tempering process.
[0018] This utility model features a cleaning box with an adjustable height via a cylinder. It can precisely adjust the distance between the spray nozzle and the glass surface and the spray pressure according to the thickness of the glass and the actual cleaning needs, avoiding excessive or insufficient spraying caused by a fixed height, thus making the most rational use of water resources and further improving water-saving efficiency.
[0019] In this invention, the circulating water pump of the system draws water from the storage tank and delivers it to the cleaning tank through the pumping pipe and hose. The water used to clean the glass flows back to the storage tank, is filtered through the filter screen to remove impurities, and then participates in the circulation again. This recycling mechanism greatly reduces the amount of fresh water used and effectively reduces the water cost for enterprises. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5In this embodiment of the utility model, a water storage tank 1 is included. Baffles 3 are fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the water storage tank 1, and a cleaning box 2 is provided in one side of the baffle 3. The cleaning box 2 is slidably connected to the baffle 3, and multiple water spray holes 13 are opened on the cleaning box 2. Multiple transmission rollers 4 are provided on the top of the water storage tank 1 and are rotatably connected to the water storage tank 1. A flipping mechanism 5 is provided at the middle position of the transmission rollers 4.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple transmission rollers 4 rotatably connected to the top of the water tank 1 can stably transport the glass, so that the glass can move at a uniform speed and smoothly during the cleaning process, avoiding the impact of glass shaking or jamming on the cleaning effect, ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning process, and the flipping mechanism 5 at the middle position of the transmission rollers 4 can flip the glass so that both sides of the glass can be cleaned by the cleaning tank 2, realizing double-sided cleaning of the glass and improving the thoroughness of the cleaning.
[0029] Furthermore, the cleaning tank 2 is slidably connected to the baffle 3, allowing the height of the cleaning tank 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual conditions such as the thickness of the glass and the cleaning requirements. In this way, no matter what size of glass it is, the water spray hole 13 can be kept at a suitable distance and spray angle from the glass surface, thus improving the adaptability of the equipment to different types of glass.
[0030] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 5 includes a drive shaft 51, which is rotatably connected to the water storage tank 1. One end of the drive shaft 51 extends to the outside of the cleaning tank 2 and is fitted with a servo motor 14. A fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive shaft 51. Four card plates 53 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 52, and card slots are provided on the card plates 53.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor 14 serves as a power source and has excellent control performance. It is installed in conjunction with the drive shaft 51 that extends to the outside of the cleaning tank 2. When the servo motor 14 starts, it stably transmits power to the drive shaft 51 and precisely controls the rotation angle and speed of the drive shaft 51, so that the glass can accurately complete the 180° flipping action during the flipping process, avoiding the situation of incomplete or excessive flipping, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the glass cleaning process.
[0032] Furthermore, four clamping plates 53 are connected to the fixing block 52 in the middle of the drive shaft 51, and the clamping plates 53 are provided with clamping grooves. When the glass is transported to the position of the flipping mechanism 5, the clamping grooves can tightly clamp the edge of the glass, providing a stable clamping force for the glass, ensuring that the glass will not slip or shake during the flipping process, and ensuring the smooth progress of the flipping action.
[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is provided with a fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 2. A cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate, and the piston rod of the cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 2.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the piston rod of cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 2. When cylinder 11 works, the extension and retraction of the piston rod can drive the cleaning box 2 to slide along the baffle 3. For glass of different thicknesses, the height of the cleaning box 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the water spray hole 13 maintains the best water spray distance and angle with the glass surface, thereby ensuring that the glass cleaning effect reaches the best.
[0035] In this embodiment, a circulating water pump 8 is provided on one side of the cylinder 11. The circulating water pump 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water storage tank 1, and a water suction pipe 9 is installed at the water inlet of the circulating water pump 8. The other end of the water suction pipe 9 extends into the inside of the water storage tank 1. A flexible hose 10 is installed at the top outlet of the circulating water pump 8, and the other end of the flexible hose 10 extends into the inside of the cleaning tank 2.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the circulating water pump 8 uses the water pumping pipe 9 to draw water out of the water storage tank 1 and then transports it to the cleaning tank 2 through the hose 10. The water after cleaning the glass will flow back to the water storage tank 1, forming a complete water circulation system. This greatly reduces the amount of fresh water used, significantly improves the utilization rate of water resources, conforms to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, and also reduces the water cost for enterprises.
[0037] Furthermore, the hose 10 connecting the circulating water pump 8 and the cleaning tank 2 has good flexibility. When the cleaning tank 2 moves up and down, the hose 10 will not obstruct it. It can bend and stretch freely with the position of the cleaning tank 2, ensuring the continuity of water circulation and ensuring that the height adjustment function of the cleaning tank 2 is not affected.
[0038] In this embodiment, a cleaning roller 6 is provided on one side of the transmission roller 4. The cleaning roller 6 is rotatably connected to the water storage tank 1, and multiple bristles are provided on the cleaning roller 6.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission roller 4 and the cleaning roller 6 are connected to the external drive mechanism. When the drive device is working, the glass is transported to the cleaning tank 2 for cleaning via the transmission roller 4. After cleaning, some fine impurities, stains or water stains may still remain on the glass surface. When the multiple bristles on the cleaning roller 6 come into contact with the glass surface, they can further clean these residues. The bristles can penetrate into the tiny gaps on the glass surface and brush away the stubborn impurities, effectively improving the cleanliness of the glass and providing higher quality glass for the subsequent tempering process.
[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning roller 6 is provided with a filter screen 7, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank 1, and the filter screen 7 has multiple rectangular holes.
[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, during the glass cleaning process, glass fragments, mud, dust and other impurities will fall into the water storage tank 1 with the water flow. The multiple rectangular holes on the filter screen 7 can effectively intercept these impurities, preventing them from accumulating in the water storage tank 1 and avoiding the impurities from re-entering the circulating water pump 8 and the cleaning tank 2. This ensures the cleanliness of the circulating water, avoids secondary pollution and scratches on the glass surface caused by impurities in the water, improves the cleaning quality and smoothness of the glass, and provides a better foundation for the subsequent tempering process.
[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom of the water storage tank 1 is fixedly connected with four casters 16, and the casters 16 are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the four casters 16 at the bottom of the water storage tank 1 enable the entire water-saving circulation system to move easily within the workshop. Enterprises can move the system to a suitable location at any time according to adjustments in production layout, equipment maintenance needs, or different production tasks, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional fixed equipment being difficult to move and improving production flexibility.
[0044] In this embodiment, two support legs 12 are provided on each side bottom of the water storage tank 1, and the support legs 12 are threadedly connected to the water storage tank 1; a water outlet valve 15 is connected to one side bottom of the water storage tank 1.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, when the equipment is moved in front of the glass tempering system, the support leg 12 is rotated to lower it until the bottom unfoldable support structure is fully unfolded and in contact with the ground, so that the equipment is firmly fixed to the ground, ensuring that the cleaned glass can be accurately delivered to the glass tempering system.
[0046] Furthermore, periodically opening the outlet valve 15 to discharge part or all of the circulating water can effectively control the water quality in the storage tank. As the equipment operates, impurities and microorganisms accumulate in the circulating water, affecting the cleaning effect. By draining water and replenishing it with fresh water in a timely manner, the cleanliness of the circulating water can be maintained, ensuring the normal operation of the entire water-saving circulation system.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, according to the actual work needs, adjust and fix the entire water-saving circulation system, place the glass to be cleaned on the transmission roller 4 on the top of the water storage tank 1, the transmission roller 4 is rotatably connected to the water storage tank 1, and starts to rotate under the drive of the external device, thereby driving the glass forward.
[0048] Next, as the glass continues to be conveyed forward to the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, the circulating water pump 8 starts to work. The circulating water pump 8 draws water from the water storage tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 9. After being pressurized by the circulating water pump 8, the water is delivered to the inside of the cleaning tank 2 from the hose 10 at the top outlet. The cleaning tank 2 is provided with multiple water spray holes 13. Water is sprayed out at high speed from these water spray holes 13 to rinse the glass surface in all directions and remove dust and other impurities from the glass surface.
[0049] The bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 11. The height of the cleaning tank 2 can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 11 according to the actual situation such as the thickness of the glass and the cleaning requirements, so as to ensure that the water spray hole 13 maintains the best water spray distance and angle with the glass surface and improve the cleaning effect.
[0050] A flipping mechanism 5 is provided at the middle position of the transmission roller 4. When the glass is conveyed to the flipping mechanism 5, the servo motor 14 starts and drives the transmission shaft 51 to rotate. The fixed block 52 in the middle of the transmission shaft 51 rotates with the transmission shaft 51. The four clamping plates 53 fixedly connected to the fixed block 52 also rotate. The slots on the clamping plates 53 will hold the glass. During the 180° rotation of the transmission shaft 51, the glass is flipped. The flipped glass is cleaned again by the cleaning tank 2 to ensure that both sides of the glass are thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, the glass is cleaned by the cleaning roller 6 to remove water stains and residual substances.
[0051] During the entire glass cleaning process, the water used to clean the glass will flow back into the water storage tank 1 and be filtered by the filter screen 7. Glass fragments, mud and other impurities in the water will be intercepted above the filter screen, thereby achieving the filtration and purification of the circulating water. The purified water will continue to remain in the water storage tank 1, waiting for the circulating water pump 8 to pump it out again for use, forming a water resource recycling and achieving the purpose of water conservation.
