Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a temperature control optimization structure for a glass annealing furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Glass annealing is a crucial step in glass production, aiming to eliminate internal thermal stress by controlling temperature changes, thereby improving the glass's mechanical strength and optical properties. The temperature control system of the glass annealing furnace plays a key role in this process, directly impacting the quality and performance stability of the glass product. However, existing temperature control structures for glass annealing furnaces still have many shortcomings in practical applications. Traditional temperature control systems typically use a single temperature sensor and simple heating or cooling control methods, making it difficult to achieve a uniform distribution and precise control of the temperature field within the furnace. Especially during the annealing of large-size or complex-shaped glass, the large temperature gradient within the furnace can easily lead to uneven stress release in different parts of the glass, resulting in quality problems such as deformation and cracking. Furthermore, existing temperature control systems have slow response times, lacking the ability to quickly respond to and dynamically adjust to temperature changes, making it difficult to maintain stable annealing results when external environmental fluctuations or process parameter changes occur. These problems not only affect the yield of glass products but also increase production costs and energy consumption. Therefore, in order to address the shortcomings of existing temperature control systems for glass annealing furnaces, designing a temperature control optimization structure that can optimize temperature distribution, improve control accuracy, and enhance system adaptability is of great technical significance and application value.

[0015] This utility model embodiment provides a temperature control optimization structure for a glass annealing furnace, the specific implementation of which is as follows:

[0016] Combination Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the module connection and the accompanying reference numerals illustrate the specific implementation of this utility model in detail. In practical applications, this temperature control optimization structure mainly includes: a control module 1, a temperature adjustment module 2, a first heating module 3, a second heating module 4, a dual-channel voltage regulator 5, a first heating wire group 6, a first heat sink 7, a second heating wire group 8, a second heat sink 9, an environmental monitoring module 10, a third switch module 11, a display module 12, a temperature sensor 13, a humidity sensor 14, a fourth switch module, a data transmission module, an alarm module 17, and a remote monitoring module 18. These modules, through reasonable connection and collaborative work, achieve effective optimization of temperature uniformity and energy consumption during the glass annealing process.

[0017] First, the control module 1, as the core component of the entire temperature control optimization structure, has its input end directly connected to the glass annealing furnace to receive real-time temperature information from inside the furnace. Simultaneously, its output end is connected to the temperature regulation module 2 to control the operating state of the temperature regulation module 2 based on the received real-time temperature information. The control module 1 has multiple preset algorithms and control logics. For example, the PID control algorithm can dynamically adjust the operating mode of the temperature regulation module 2 according to the temperature differences in different areas of the annealing furnace, thereby achieving precise control of the heating power. The control module 1 can also automatically determine whether the current temperature deviates from the target value based on the user-defined target temperature range and issue timely instructions to maintain temperature stability within the annealing furnace.

[0018] The temperature regulation module 2, acting as an actuator, has its input end connected to the control module 1 and its output end connected to the first heating module 3 and the second heating module 4, respectively. In this embodiment, the temperature regulation module 2 uses a dual-channel voltage regulator 5 as its core component. The first channel of the dual-channel voltage regulator 5 is connected to the first heating module 3, the second channel is connected to the second heating module 4, and the control end is connected to the control module 1. The dual-channel voltage regulator 5 can adjust the voltage input of the two heating modules according to the instructions issued by the control module 1, thereby independently controlling the heating power of the two heating modules. This design allows the first heating module 3 and the second heating module 4 to perform differentiated heating according to the temperature requirements of different areas in the annealing furnace, effectively solving the temperature distribution problem caused by uneven heating in traditional annealing furnaces.

[0019] The first heating module 3 and the second heating module 4 are the main components for realizing the heating function. The first heating module 3 includes a first heating wire group 6 and a first heat sink 7. The second heating module 4 includes a second heating wire group 8 and a second heat sink 9. The first heating wire group 6 and the second heating wire group 8 are each composed of multiple high-resistance heating wires, which can efficiently convert electrical energy into heat energy. The first heat sink 7 and the second heat sink 9 are responsible for evenly transferring heat to different areas in the annealing furnace. When the voltage regulator 5 adjusts the voltage according to the instructions of the control module 1, the heating power of the first heating wire group 6 and the second heating wire group 8 will change accordingly, thereby realizing precise control of the temperature in the annealing furnace. In addition, the design of the first heat sink 7 and the second heat sink 9 can also avoid the occurrence of local overheating and further improve the uniformity of temperature distribution.

[0020] To further enhance the intelligence level of the temperature control optimization structure, this embodiment also adds an environmental monitoring module 10, a third switch module 11, and a display module 12. The environmental monitoring module 10 includes a temperature sensor 13 and a humidity sensor 14. The temperature sensor 13 is used to monitor the temperature and humidity changes of the external environment of the annealing furnace in real time, while the sensor 14 is used to detect the ambient humidity. These data are transmitted to the control terminal of the third switch module 11. The input terminal of the third switch module 11 is connected to the first heating module 3 and the second heating module 4, respectively, and the output terminal is connected to the display module 12. When the environmental monitoring module 10 detects a significant change in the external environmental parameters, the third switch module 11 will turn on or off according to preset conditions. The corresponding heating module will then present the relevant information to the operator through the display module 12 so that the operator can monitor the equipment's operating status in real time.

[0021] In addition, this embodiment also includes a fourth switch module and a data transmission module. The control terminal of the fourth switch module is connected to the environmental monitoring module 10, the input terminal is connected to the first heating module 3 and the second heating module 4 respectively, and the output terminal is connected to the data transmission module. The data transmission module can upload the operating data of the annealing furnace, including information such as temperature, humidity and heating power, to a cloud server or local storage device for subsequent analysis and optimization. The function of the fourth switch module is to cut off the power supply of the heating module under specific conditions to protect the equipment safety. For example, when the temperature inside the annealing furnace is detected to exceed the safety threshold, the fourth switch module will immediately disconnect the power supply of the heating module and trigger the alarm module 17 to issue an alarm signal to remind the operator to take appropriate measures.

[0022] The alarm module 17 is connected to the control module 1. When the system detects abnormal conditions such as excessive temperature, excessive humidity or heating module failure, the alarm module 17 will issue a warning to the operator through sound and light. This design not only improves the safety of the system, but also provides the operator with a time window for rapid response, further ensuring the smooth progress of the annealing process.

[0023] Finally, this embodiment also introduces a remote monitoring module 18, which is connected to the control module 1. It can remotely monitor and manage the annealing furnace through the network. Operators can view the operating status of the annealing furnace in real time through terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers, and adjust relevant parameters as needed, such as target temperature and heating power. The remote monitoring module 18 also supports historical data query and report generation functions, which facilitates users to conduct comprehensive analysis and optimization of the annealing process.

[0024] In summary, the optimized temperature control structure of the glass annealing furnace provided by this utility model achieves effective control of temperature uniformity and energy consumption during the annealing process through the coordinated operation of the control module 1, temperature adjustment module 2, first heating module 3, and second heating module 4. At the same time, the system's intelligence level and operational safety are further improved by auxiliary modules such as environmental monitoring module 10, alarm module 17, and remote monitoring module 18. In practical applications, this structure can be widely used in various types of glass annealing furnaces, and is especially suitable for high-end application scenarios with high temperature control requirements, such as optical glass manufacturing and special glass processing.
