[0002] Glass cleaning machines are specialized equipment used to clean and dry glass surfaces before deep processing processes such as mirror making, vacuum coating, tempering, hot bending, and insulated glass assembly. Glass cleaning machines mainly consist of a transmission system, brushing, clean water rinsing, pure water rinsing, cold and hot air drying, and electrical control system. Depending on user needs, medium and large glass cleaning machines are also equipped with manual glass tilting trolleys and inspection light source systems.

[0003] Common glass washing machines work by placing glass on conveyor rollers, rinsing it with a water spray device, drying it with a drying device, and then transporting the cleaned glass away from the machine via conveyor rollers. However, the glass surface has many water droplets after rinsing, which results in high energy consumption when using a drying mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a glass cleaning machine with a drying function.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a glass cleaning machine with a drying function, comprising a glass cleaning machine body, a conveyor roller track composed of multiple conveyor rollers for conveying glass panels, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the surface of the glass panels between the conveyor roller tracks, a scraper mechanism for scraping water jets off the surface of the glass panels located behind the cleaning mechanism, and a hot air knife for drying the surface of the glass panels located behind the scraper mechanism.

[0007] The scraper mechanism includes support frames mounted on the main body of the glass washing machine and located on both sides of the conveyor roller. The ends of the two support frames are provided with crossbars. The crossbars are provided with vertically downward electric telescopic cylinders. The telescopic ends of the electric telescopic cylinders are equipped with base frames. The bottom of the base frames is equipped with a scraper blade via an elastic element. The scraper blade is composed of two guide plates that are inclined to both sides. The bottom of the guide plates is provided with an outwardly inclined guide plate. The bottom end of the guide plate is provided with a scraper strip made of rubber that contacts the surface of the glass panel.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the base frame and the wiper blade are both V-shaped, and the elastic element includes a vertically upward light rod set on the top of the water guide plate, and the light rod is provided with a through hole for the light rod to pass through. A compression spring is provided between the base frame and the water guide plate and sleeved on the light rod, and the end of the light rod passes through the through hole and is equipped with an anti-detachment block.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the guide plate is provided with a protruding bump, and the wiper strip is provided with a mating groove for the bump to be inserted. The guide plate is provided with a cover plate that extends outward and limits the connection between the wiper strip and the guide plate on the side near the glass panel.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes a glass cleaning machine main body limiting guide rail set by a fixing frame, and a pair of sliding blocks that move along the limiting guide rail are provided on the limiting guide rail, and a moving frame is installed between the sliding blocks, and a cleaning brush for cleaning the glass panel is provided on the moving frame, and a driving mechanism that drives the sliding blocks to reciprocate is installed on the limiting guide rail.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes an eccentric wheel disposed on a limiting guide rail, and a driving motor for rotating the eccentric wheel is mounted on the limiting guide rail via a positioning frame, and a transmission connecting rod is installed between the eccentric wheel and the sliding block.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the hot air knife is V-shaped, and the air outlet direction is opposite to the movement direction of the glass panel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This type of glass washing machine with drying function incorporates a scraper mechanism. After rinsing with water, the glass panel is cleaned by the washing mechanism and then enters the scraper mechanism. The scraper mechanism scrapes away the water column on the surface of the glass panel, resulting in a lower water content. This reduces energy consumption when using hot air knives for drying and ensures thorough drying without water droplets remaining. Two water guide plates inclined to both sides form a V-shape, guiding the water column to both sides for easy drainage. Furthermore, the scraper is connected to the base frame via an elastic element, ensuring that the scraper blade is in close contact with the glass panel for better water scraping effect.

[0015] 2. In this type of glass washing machine with drying function, an outwardly inclined guide plate is provided at the bottom of the squeegee. This facilitates the glass panel entering the squeegee mechanism. Under the elastic action of the compression spring, when the glass panel contacts the guide plate, the glass panel exerts an upward pushing force on the guide plate. The guide plate slides along the glass panel, and then the glass panel enters the bottom of the squeegee. Under the elastic action of the compression spring, the squeegee is in close contact with the glass panel, resulting in a better squeegee effect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a glass cleaning machine with a drying function, including a glass cleaning machine body 1. The glass cleaning machine body 1 is provided with a conveying roller track composed of multiple conveying rollers 2 for conveying glass panels. The glass cleaning machine body 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 3 between the conveying roller track for cleaning the surface of the glass panels. The glass cleaning machine body 1 is provided with a rinsing pipe at the position of the cleaning mechanism for spraying rinsing water toward the surface of the glass panels. The glass cleaning machine body 1 is provided with a scraper mechanism 4 behind the cleaning mechanism 3 for scraping the water column on the surface of the glass panels. The glass cleaning machine body 1 is provided with a hot air knife 5 behind the scraper mechanism 4 for drying the surface of the glass panels.

[0026] The scraper mechanism 4 includes support frames 401 mounted on the main body 1 of the glass washing machine and located on both sides of the conveyor roller. The ends of the two support frames 401 are provided with cross frames 402. The cross frames 402 are provided with vertically downward electric telescopic cylinders 403. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinders 403 is equipped with a base frame 404. The bottom of the base frame 404 is equipped with a scraper blade via an elastic element. The scraper blade is composed of two guide plates 405 that are inclined to both sides. The bottom of the guide plates 405 is provided with an outwardly inclined guide plate 406. The bottom end of the guide plate 406 is provided with a rubber scraper strip 407 that is in contact with the surface of the glass panel. By setting up a scraper mechanism 4, after the glass panel is rinsed with water, it is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 3 and then enters the scraper mechanism 4. The scraper mechanism 4 scrapes away the water column on the surface of the glass panel, thus reducing the water column content of the glass panel. This reduces energy consumption when using the hot air knife 5 for drying, and ensures thorough drying without water droplets remaining. The two water guide plates 405, which are inclined to both sides, form a V-shape, which guides the water column to both sides, facilitating drainage. Furthermore, the scraper is connected to the base frame by an elastic element, so that the scraper strip 407 is in close contact with the glass panel, resulting in a better scraping effect.

[0027] The base frame 404 and the wiper blade are both V-shaped. The elastic element includes a vertically upward-pointing light rod 408 located at the top of the guide plate 405. The base frame 404 has a through hole through which the light rod 408 passes. A compression spring 410 is provided between the base frame 404 and the guide plate 405, which is fitted onto the light rod 408. The end of the light rod 408 passes through the through hole and is fitted with an anti-detachment block 411. The bottom of the wiper blade has an outwardly inclined guide plate 406, which facilitates the glass panel entering the wiper mechanism 4. Under the elastic action of the compression spring 410, when the glass panel contacts the guide plate 406, the glass panel exerts an upward force on the guide plate 406. The guide plate 406 slides along the glass panel, and then the glass panel enters the bottom of the wiper strip 407. Under the elastic action of the compression spring 410, the wiper strip 407 is in tight contact with the glass panel, resulting in a better wiping effect.

[0028] The guide plate 406 has a protruding bump 412 at its bottom end, and the wiper strip 407 has a mating groove 413 for the bump 412 to be inserted into. The guide plate 406 has a cover plate 414 on the side near the glass panel that extends outward and covers the connection between the wiper strip 407 and the guide plate 406. This provides better positioning of the wiper strip. The cover plate 414 covers the connection between the wiper strip 407 and the guide plate 406, thus preventing the wiper strip 407 from being scraped off when the glass panel slides along the guide plate, which would cause serious damage to the wiper strip.

[0029] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a glass cleaning machine body 1 with a fixed frame and a limiting guide rail 301. The limiting guide rail 301 is provided with a pair of sliding blocks 302 that move along the limiting guide rail 301. A moving frame 303 is installed between the sliding blocks 302. The moving frame 303 is provided with a cleaning brush 304 for cleaning the glass panel. The limiting guide rail 301 is provided with a drive mechanism that drives the sliding blocks 302 to reciprocate. The drive mechanism includes an eccentric wheel 305 mounted on a limiting guide rail 301. A drive motor 306, which drives the eccentric wheel 305 to rotate, is mounted on the limiting guide rail 301 via a positioning frame. A transmission link 307 is installed between the eccentric wheel 305 and the sliding block 302. When the eccentric wheel rotates due to the drive motor, the rotating eccentric wheel, through the transmission link, causes the sliding block to reciprocate linearly along the limiting guide rail. This, in turn, drives the cleaning brush 304 to reciprocate linearly, thereby providing a better cleaning effect on the glass panel.

[0030] The hot air knife 5 is V-shaped and its air outlet direction is opposite to the movement direction of the glass panel, which provides a larger hot air drying area and thus a better drying effect.

[0031] Working principle: By setting up a scraper mechanism 4, after the glass panel is rinsed with water and then cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 3, it enters the scraper mechanism 4. The scraper mechanism 4 scrapes away the water column on the surface of the glass panel, thus reducing the water column content of the glass panel. This reduces energy consumption when using the hot air knife 5 for drying, and ensures thorough drying without water droplets remaining. Two water guide plates 405, which are set to the sides and form a V-shape, guide the water column to the sides, which facilitates drainage. The scraper is connected to the base frame by an elastic element, so that the scraper strip 407 is in close contact with the glass panel, resulting in a better scraping effect.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
