Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass production technology, specifically a batching device for glass bottle production. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous solid primarily containing silicon dioxide, formed by melting raw materials such as quartz sand and soda ash. During the melting process, a continuous network structure is formed. As cooling progresses, the viscosity of the system gradually increases and hardens, leading to crystallization. It is a silicate-based non-metallic material. Currently, the chemical composition of common commercial glass is mostly Na₂SiO₃, CaSiO₃, SiO₂, or Na₂O·CaO·6SiO₂, etc., with silicate complex salts as its main components. It is an amorphous solid with an irregular structure. Through reasonable process control, raw materials of a specific composition are mixed in a certain proportion to prepare a batch with appropriate composition, which is then fed into a melting furnace for firing and subsequently cooled.

[0003] Glass bottles are common daily and industrial products, and their production typically involves a mixing device. This mixing device is used to mix the raw materials required for glass product manufacturing in a specific ratio. It ensures the consistency of glass product quality and production efficiency, while guaranteeing the full utilization of raw materials.

[0004] Most existing glass bottle mixing devices use vertical containers with spiral blades for stirring inside. This stirring method has dead zones, which prevents the raw materials from being fully mixed. This results in problems such as inconsistent color or transparency and uneven curing speed in the glass bottles during production, leading to a decline in product quality. Handling uneven raw materials requires longer mixing and heating times, which increases energy consumption and labor costs, and may also lead to a significant increase in scrap rate, thus increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem of dead zones in existing batching devices used in glass bottle production, which prevent thorough and uniform mixing, this invention provides a batching device for glass bottle production.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A material dispensing device for glass bottle production includes a base, a fixed frame, and a roller capable of holding materials. The fixed frame has a first bearing seat and a second bearing seat respectively installed at both ends of the roller and connected to the two ends of the roller. One side of the roller has an opening with a plug on the opening. A rotating shaft is coaxially connected to the other side of the roller. A power mechanism capable of driving the rotating shaft to rotate is installed on the fixed frame.

[0008] It also includes a swing mechanism, which includes guide rails connected and installed on both sides of the base. The fixed frame has sliding columns connected and installed on both sides near the opening of the drum. A servo motor is connected and installed on the base. A rotating rod is connected and installed on the output shaft of the servo motor. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed frame away from the opening of the drum.

[0009] A further improvement of this invention is that a flipping mechanism and a locking mechanism are connected and installed on the plug. This facilitates the opening, closing, and locking of the plug, making loading and unloading easier and preventing the plug from opening during operation and causing raw materials to spill out.

[0010] A further improvement of this invention is that the power mechanism includes a first pulley connected and mounted on a rotating shaft, a motor connected and mounted on a fixed frame, and a second pulley connected and mounted on the motor output shaft. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt drive. Belt drive can prevent motor overload, prevent motor damage caused by overload, extend the motor's service life, and improve economy.

[0011] A further improvement of this invention is that a stirring mechanism is installed inside the drum. The stirring mechanism includes several stirring rods rotatably connected inside the drum, each stirring rod having several blades. One end of each stirring rod extends from inside the drum and is connected to a first gear. A bracket is mounted on a fixed frame, and a bushing is connected to the upper end of the bracket. The bushing is fixedly fitted onto a rotating shaft, and a second gear is connected to the bushing. The first gear and the second gear mesh with each other. When the drum rotates, it drives the stirring rods to revolve. Since the second gear is fixed, the first gear rotates around the second gear, thus driving the stirring rods to rotate. The rotating stirring rods allow the various raw materials to fully collide and mix, improving the quality and efficiency of mixing and shortening the mixing time.

[0012] A further improvement of this invention is that a dust cover is connected and installed at one end of the roller to protect the first and second gears. The dust cover prevents dust from entering between the meshing gears, preventing accelerated wear on the gear surfaces, extending the service life of the gears, and improving economic efficiency.

[0013] A further improvement of this invention is that the blades are spiral-shaped. The spiral-shaped blades can simultaneously stir the raw materials radially and axially, resulting in a more uniform mixture.

[0014] A further improvement of this invention is that the blades on the several stirring rods rotate in different directions. When blades with different rotation directions rotate simultaneously, they can cause the raw materials to tumble in different directions, further colliding and mixing the raw materials together, thereby improving the mixing speed and efficiency.

[0015] A further improvement of this invention is that the tilting mechanism includes a support located above the drum opening and an L-shaped plate located on the end cap, with the L-shaped plate rotatably connected to the support. The structure is simple, reliable, and has low manufacturing costs, offering good economical maintenance.

[0016] A further improvement of this invention is that a magnet is provided on the side of the roller near the end cap, and the magnet can attract the L-shaped plate. When it is necessary to open the end cap for loading and unloading, the magnet can hold the L-shaped plate, keeping the end cap in a normally open state, which facilitates loading and unloading for the operator.

[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that the locking mechanism includes a bolt rotatably connected to the lower edge of the drum opening, with a wing nut threaded onto the bolt, and a U-shaped plate at the lower edge of the plug into which the bolt can be embedded. By inserting the bolt into the U-shaped plate and tightening the wing nut, the plug can be ensured to tightly cover the drum opening during mixing of raw materials, preventing spillage. The wing nut can be turned by hand for easy operation.

[0018] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] When using the equipment, first adjust the rotary mechanism to its lowest position, ensuring the drum opening faces upwards. Then, smoothly pour the raw materials to be mixed into the drum, start the motor, and the drum will begin to rotate at a constant speed. Simultaneously, the swing mechanism works in conjunction, driving the drum to perform a combined motion of up-and-down tumbling and back-and-forth sliding. In this multi-dimensional motion mode, the raw materials continuously shake and roll inside the drum, constantly oscillating up and down within the cylinder. Through this all-round, thorough mixing, various raw materials can fully contact, rub, and mix, ultimately achieving a uniform mixing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a material dispensing device for glass bottle production includes a base 1, a fixed frame 2, and a roller 5 capable of holding materials. The fixed frame 2 is respectively equipped with a first bearing seat 41 and a second bearing seat 42 connected to the two ends of the roller 5. The roller 5 has an opening on one side, and a plug 51 is provided on the opening. A rotating shaft 52 is coaxially connected to the other side of the roller 5. A power mechanism 6 capable of driving the rotating shaft 52 to rotate is installed on the fixed frame 2.

[0031] It also includes a swing mechanism 3, which includes guide rails 31 connected and installed on both sides of the base 1. Sliding columns 32 are connected and installed on both sides of the end of the fixed frame 2 near the opening of the roller 5. The sliding columns 32 are embedded in the guide rails 31 and can slide and rotate within the guide rails 31. A servo motor 33 and a worm gear reducer connected to the output end of the servo motor 33 are connected and installed on the base 1. The servo motor 33 can output low speed and high torque. A rotating rod 34 is connected and installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 33. The rotating rod 34 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed frame 2 away from the opening of the roller 5.

[0032] In use, the servo motor 33 rotates the rotating rod 34 to its lowest position, so that the opening of the roller 5 faces upward, making it convenient to add the raw materials of the predetermined proportion into the roller 5 one by one. Then, the plug 51 covers the opening to prevent the raw materials from spilling out. The power mechanism 6 is started to make the roller 5 rotate. At the same time, the servo motor 33 drives the rotating rod 34 to rotate, causing one side of the roller 5 to rotate. The sliding column 32 on the other side slides and rotates back and forth in the guide rail 31, so that the roller 5 performs a compound motion of up and down flipping and back and forth sliding, so that the various raw materials inside the roller 5 can be tumbled and stirred back and forth, and can be fully mixed evenly. After being evenly mixed, the rotating rod 34 is placed at its highest position, so that the opening of the roller 5 faces downward, and the plug 51 is opened to unload the evenly mixed raw materials. If the unloading is not smooth, the roller 5 can be rotated to assist in unloading. In this way, the various raw materials can be fully mixed without leaving any dead corners, ensuring that the glass production has consistent color or transparency, uniform product curing speed, reducing the heating and melting time of the glass, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0033] The plug 51 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 50 and a locking mechanism 511. The flipping mechanism 50 makes it easier to open and close the plug 51, while the locking mechanism 511 ensures that the plug 51 is always closed during the movement of the roller 5, preventing raw materials from spilling out.

[0034] The power mechanism 6 includes a first pulley 61 connected and mounted on a rotating shaft 52, a motor 62 connected and mounted on a fixed frame 2, and a second pulley 63 connected and mounted on the output shaft of the motor 62. The first pulley 61 and the second pulley 63 are connected by a belt 64. Belt drive can prevent the motor 62 from overloading, improve the service life of the motor 62, and has the characteristics of simple structure, smooth operation, buffering and vibration absorption, overload protection, and suitability for long-distance transmission.

[0035] The drum 5 is also equipped with a stirring mechanism 7. The stirring mechanism 7 includes three stirring rods 71 ​​rotatably connected inside the drum 5. Each stirring rod 71 has several blades 711. One end of the stirring rod 71 is fixed to the baffle at the opening by a bearing. The other end of the stirring rod 71 passes through the drum 5 and is rotatably connected to the drum 5 by a bearing. Each stirring rod 71 has three blades 711. A first gear 72 is connected to one end of the stirring rod 71 that extends out of the drum 5. A bracket 73 is provided on the fixed frame 2. The side of the bracket 73 is also connected and reinforced with a second bearing seat 42. A bushing 74 is connected to the upper end of the bracket 73. The bushing 74 is fixedly fitted on the rotating shaft 52 and does not contact the rotating shaft 52. A second gear 75 is connected to the bushing 74. The first gear 72 and the second gear 75 are meshed together. When the drum 5 rotates, it will drive the three stirring rods 71 ​​to revolve around the shaft 52. Since the second gear 75 is fixed and does not rotate, the first gear 72 will rotate around the second gear 75, thus driving the stirring rods 71 ​​to rotate on their own axis, and at the same time driving the blades 711 to rotate. The rotating blades 711 can make the various raw materials collide and mix fully, improve the quality and efficiency of mixing, and greatly shorten the mixing time.

[0036] One end of the roller 5 is bolted to a dust cover 8, which covers the first gear 72 and the second gear 75 and is fitted over the outside of the bushing 74. The gear set is sealed with a gasket. This prevents dust and other impurities from entering the meshing surfaces of the gears, preventing accelerated wear of the gear teeth, extending the service life of the gears, and improving economic efficiency.

[0037] Among them, blade 711 is a spiral blade. The spiral blade 711 can stir the raw materials axially, so that the raw materials on the left and right sides can be mixed together, making the raw materials more uniform and thorough.

[0038] Among them, the blades 711 on several stirring rods 71 ​​rotate in different directions. The different rotation directions of the blades 711 cause the raw materials to be stirred in different directions, which can make the raw materials collide fully and mix more evenly.

[0039] The flipping mechanism 50 includes a support 501 located above the opening of the roller 5 and an L-shaped plate 502 located on the cover 51. The L-shaped plate 502 is rotatably connected to the support 501. This allows the cover 51 to open and close at the opening of the roller 5. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and the sealing effect is good.

[0040] Among them, the roller 5 is equipped with a magnet 503 on the side near the plug 51, which can attract the L-shaped plate 502. When it is necessary to open the plug 51 for material feeding or discharging, the plug 51 can always be kept in the open state, preventing the plug 51 from closing again due to gravity and affecting the feeding or discharging of materials.

[0041] The locking mechanism 511 includes a rotatably connected bolt 512 located at the lower edge of the opening of the roller 5. A wing nut 513 is threaded onto the bolt 512. The lower edge of the plug 51 has a U-shaped plate 514 that can be embedded in the bolt 512. The bolt 512 is inserted into the groove of the U-shaped plate 514, and then the wing nut 513 is tightened. Since the rotation speed of the roller 5 is not high, the tightening force of the wing nut 513 is sufficient to seal the roller 5 with the plug 51 during rotation, preventing the raw material from spilling out.

[0042] The controller can be a common PLC controller, such as the Siemens S7-1200 series. By pre-setting the program, the corresponding program can be selected when production is required to control the device to perform material batching. An automatic proportional feeding device can also be added to further improve the automation level of the device.

[0043] It should be noted that the rotating rod 34 can also be set as a flywheel or a large gear. The rotational inertia of the flywheel or the large gear itself can make the operation of the device more stable. It can be driven directly by a servo motor or driven in conjunction with a small gear.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
