Description

Glass drip cleaning tools Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cleaning tools, and more specifically, to a glass drip cleaning tool. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of microcrystalline glass, as the molten glass flows through the platinum channel after melting in the furnace, the distance between the heating equipment and the molten glass is relatively small to ensure that the temperature change range of the molten glass meets the requirements. This causes the molten glass to adhere to the heating equipment, forming solid droplets upon cooling. Additionally, as the molten glass passes through the guide plate, temperature fluctuations affect its viscosity, increasing its viscosity and reducing its fluidity, resulting in viscous droplets. If these droplets are not cleaned promptly, they will accumulate on the equipment surface, potentially falling into the molten glass and disrupting normal production.

[0003] Because the temperature of the dripping environment is high, it cannot be cleaned directly by hand. Usually, the equipment is cleaned uniformly after shutdown. However, due to the long maintenance cycle of glass production equipment, the dripping continues to accumulate, increasing the difficulty of cleaning and also increasing the risk of product quality defects.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, operators typically use a cleaning shovel to promptly remove glass drips (e.g., authorization notice number CN204685526U, titled "A Multifunctional Cleaning Shovel"). This shovel includes a bucket for collecting cleaning debris and a handle connected to one end of the bucket. The other end of the bucket is a debris inlet. The distance from the upper end of the debris inlet to the handle is less than the distance from the lower end of the debris inlet to the handle. A blade is mounted on the extended edge of the lower end of the debris inlet, and a cleaning rake is detachably mounted on the extended edge of the upper end of the debris inlet. The cleaning rake includes multiple hooks that curve and extend away from the blades. The hooks hook the glass drips onto the blades, which then slide them into the bucket. The blades then scrape off the glass drips from both sides of the equipment. However, due to limited cleaning space, glass drips inside the bucket can easily fall out, affecting subsequent production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a glass drip cleaning tool to solve the problem in the prior art that the glass drips scraped off are easy to fall out and affect subsequent production.

[0006] A glass drip cleaning tool according to this application includes a cleaning structure and a limiting structure. The cleaning structure includes a bottom shovel, a top plate, a first shovel wall, and two sets of second shovel walls. The first shovel wall and the two sets of second shovel walls are all disposed on the bottom shovel, and the two sets of second shovel walls are arranged opposite each other. The top plate is disposed above the bottom shovel, and the top plate, the first shovel wall, and the two sets of second shovel walls are all connected. The space between the bottom shovel, the top plate, the first shovel wall, and the two sets of second shovel walls forms a collection cavity. The limiting structure includes a baffle, a rotating shaft, a limiting protrusion, and a limiting rod. The baffle and the first shovel wall are arranged opposite each other, and the rotating shaft is connected to the baffle. Each set of second shovel walls has a first rotating hole. The rotating shaft rotatably passes through the first rotating hole. The limiting protrusion is disposed on the rotating shaft, and the limiting rod is disposed on the second shovel wall, cooperating with the limiting protrusion to achieve limiting.

[0007] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion and the rotating shaft are arranged axially perpendicularly, and the baffle has a sealed state in which the limiting protrusion and the limiting rod abut against each other, or an open state in which the limiting protrusion and the limiting rod are separated.

[0008] In some embodiments, both sides of the baffle have second rotating holes, and there are two sets of rotating shafts. The two sets of rotating shafts, the two sets of second rotating holes, and the two sets of first rotating holes are all arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The rotating shafts are sequentially inserted into the first rotating holes and the second rotating holes.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft has a threaded section and a smooth section. The smooth section is rotatably inserted into a first rotating hole, and the second rotating hole is a threaded hole. The threaded section and the second rotating hole are threadedly connected, and a limiting card is protruded on the smooth section.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure further includes a mounting plate and a scraper, the scraper being vertically disposed on the mounting plate, the mounting plate having a plurality of first mounting holes spaced apart along the extending direction of the mounting plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shovel bottom has a plurality of second mounting holes and a shovel blade. The plurality of second mounting holes are all located near the shovel blade, and the plurality of second mounting holes are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first mounting holes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the screw passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole in sequence and is screwed into the first nut to achieve a detachable connection between the mounting plate and the shovel bottom.

[0013] In some embodiments, the glass drip cleaning tool further includes a handheld structure, which includes a first telescopic rod and a second telescopic rod. The first end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the first shovel wall, and the second end of the first telescopic rod is retractably disposed within the second telescopic rod.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second telescopic rod has a third mounting hole, on which a second nut is welded, and a limiting bolt passes through the second nut and the third mounting hole in sequence to abut against the first telescopic rod.

[0015] In some embodiments, the handheld structure further includes a handle, which is mounted on one end of the second telescopic rod opposite to the first telescopic rod.

[0016] The glass drip cleaning tool according to this application includes a cleaning structure and a limiting structure. The cleaning structure includes a shovel bottom, a top plate, a first shovel wall, and two sets of second shovel walls. The first shovel wall and the two sets of second shovel walls are all disposed on the shovel bottom, with the two sets of second shovel walls facing each other. The top plate is disposed above the shovel bottom, and the top plate, the first shovel wall, and the two sets of second shovel walls are all connected. The space between the shovel bottom, the top plate, the first shovel wall, and the two sets of second shovel walls forms a collection cavity for collecting the glass drips from the shovel. The limiting structure includes a baffle, a rotating shaft, a limiting protrusion, and a limiting rod. The baffle is facing each other from the first shovel wall, and the rotating shaft is connected to the baffle. The rotating shaft can drive the baffle to rotate synchronously. Each set of second shovel walls has a first rotating hole, and the rotating shaft rotatably passes through the first rotating hole. The limiting protrusion is disposed on the rotating shaft and rotates synchronously. The limiting rod is disposed on the second shovel wall to limit the limiting protrusion. This design allows the baffle to open when rotated, enabling the glass droplets to slide into the collection chamber. When the baffle rotates in the opposite direction, the limiting bracket is stopped by the limiting rod, thus sealing the collection chamber and preventing the glass droplets from falling out. The technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the scraped glass droplets easily fall out and affect subsequent production.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0026] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the embodiment relates to a glass drip cleaning tool, including a cleaning structure 10 and a limiting structure 20. The cleaning structure 10 includes a bottom shovel 11, a top plate 12, a first shovel wall 13, and two sets of second shovel walls 14. The first shovel wall 13 and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are all disposed on the bottom shovel 11, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are arranged opposite to each other. The top plate 12 is disposed above the bottom shovel 11, and the top plate 12, the first shovel wall 13, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are all connected. The space between the bottom shovel 11, the top plate 12, the first shovel wall 13, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 forms a collection cavity. The limiting structure 20 includes a baffle 21, a rotating shaft 22, a limiting protrusion 23, and a limiting rod 24. The baffle 21 and the first shovel wall 13 are arranged opposite to each other. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to the baffle 21. Both sets of second shovel walls 14 have a first rotating hole. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably inserted into the first rotating hole. The limiting protrusion 23 is arranged on the rotating shaft 22. The limiting rod 24 is arranged on the second shovel wall and cooperates with the limiting protrusion 23 to achieve limiting.

[0028] The glass drip cleaning tool, using the technical solution of this embodiment, includes a cleaning structure 10 and a limiting structure 20. The cleaning structure 10 includes a bottom shovel 11, a top plate 12, a first shovel wall 13, and two sets of second shovel walls 14. The first shovel wall 13 and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are all disposed on the bottom shovel 11, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are arranged opposite to each other. The top plate 12 is disposed above the bottom shovel 11, and the top plate 12, the first shovel wall 13, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 are all connected. The space between the bottom shovel 11, the top plate 12, the first shovel wall 13, and the two sets of second shovel walls 14 forms a collection cavity, which is used to collect the glass drips scraped off the shovel. The limiting structure 20 includes a baffle 21, a rotating shaft 22, a limiting protrusion 23, and a limiting rod 24. The baffle 21 and the first shovel wall 13 are arranged opposite each other. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to the baffle 21 and can drive the baffle 21 to rotate synchronously. Both sets of second shovel walls 14 have first rotating holes. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably inserted into the first rotating hole, and the limiting protrusion 23 is arranged on the rotating shaft 22 and rotates synchronously. The limiting rod 24 is arranged on the second shovel wall 14 to limit the limiting protrusion 23. This arrangement allows the baffle 21 to open when rotated (counterclockwise), at which point the glass droplets can slide into the collection chamber. When the baffle 21 rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise), the limiting protrusion 23 is limited by the limiting rod 24, thereby sealing the collection chamber and preventing the glass droplets from falling out. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in the prior art that the glass droplets scraped off easily fall out and affect subsequent production.

[0029] It should be noted that after the baffle 21 rotates counterclockwise to a certain angle, it will be limited by the top plate 12. As the amount of glass droplets in the collection chamber increases, the angle of counterclockwise rotation of the baffle 21 gradually decreases, that is, the collection chamber is full. At this time, take out the glass droplet cleaning tool, unscrew the shaft 22, and then remove the baffle 21 to pour out the glass droplets in the collection chamber.

[0030] It should also be noted that a through hole can be made on the second shovel wall 14, and a screw is set on the side of the limiting rod 24 facing the second shovel wall 14. The screw is passed through the through hole and tightened with a nut to realize the detachable installation of the limiting rod 24 on the second shovel wall 14. When cleaning the collection chamber, simply unscrew the limiting rod, and the baffle 21 can be rotated to pour out the glass drips.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 23 and the rotating shaft 22 are axially perpendicular. The baffle 21 has a sealed state where the limiting protrusion 23 and the limiting rod 24 abut against each other. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting rod 24 on the limiting protrusion, the clockwise rotation of the baffle is restricted, thereby achieving the sealing of the collection chamber by the baffle 21. The baffle 21 also has an open state where the limiting protrusion 23 and the limiting rod 24 are separated. When the baffle 21 rotates counterclockwise, the limiting rod 24 separates from the limiting protrusion 23, the limiting effect disappears, and the glass droplets slide from the gap between the baffle 21 and the bottom of the shovel 11 into the collection chamber.

[0032] It should be noted that the height of the baffle 21 should be such that its rotation is not interfered with by the bottom of the shovel 11, and that the gap between the baffle 21 and the bottom of the shovel 11 in the sealed state is insufficient to allow glass droplets to fall out.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, both sides of the baffle 21 have second rotating holes. There are two sets of rotating shafts 22, with each set of shafts 22, second rotating holes, and first rotating holes corresponding to the others. The rotating shafts 22 pass through the first and second rotating holes sequentially. Each rotating shaft 22 has a threaded section 221 and a smooth shaft section 222. The smooth shaft section 222 is rotatably inserted into the first rotating hole. The second rotating hole is a threaded hole, and the threaded section 221 and the second rotating hole are threadedly connected. Therefore, the baffle 21 and the rotating shaft 22 rotate synchronously. A limiting protrusion 23 is provided on the smooth shaft section 222 and rotates with the rotating shaft 22.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the cleaning structure 10 further includes a mounting plate 15 and a scraper 16. The scraper 16 is vertically disposed on the mounting plate 15 and can scrape off the glass droplets, causing them to fall to the bottom of the shovel 11 and then slide into the collection chamber. The mounting plate 15 has a plurality of first mounting holes, which are spaced apart along the extending direction of the mounting plate 15.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the scraper base 11 has multiple second mounting holes and a scraper blade 111, which can scrape off glass droplets from both sides. The multiple second mounting holes are positioned close to the scraper blade 111, and each of the multiple second mounting holes corresponds to a single first mounting hole. Screws 112 pass through the first and second mounting holes sequentially and are screwed into the first nut, enabling a detachable connection between the mounting plate 15 and the scraper base 11. This configuration allows the glass droplet cleaning tool to flexibly select either the scraper blade 16 or the scraper blade 111 to clean the glass droplets depending on the situation.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the glass drip cleaning tool also includes a handheld structure 30, which includes a first telescopic rod 31 and a second telescopic rod 32. The first end of the first telescopic rod 31 is connected to the first shovel wall 13, and the second end of the first telescopic rod 31 is retractably disposed in the second telescopic rod 32. The retractable design makes the length of the first telescopic rod 31 adjustable, thus increasing its flexibility.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the second telescopic rod 32 has a third mounting hole, on which a second nut is welded. The limiting bolt 321 passes through the second nut and the third mounting hole in sequence and abuts against the first telescopic rod 31. After the first telescopic rod 31 is adjusted to a suitable length, the limiting bolt 321 is tightened. The limiting bolt 321 abuts against the first telescopic rod 31 to limit the first telescopic rod 31.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the handheld structure 30 also includes a handle 33, which is installed on the end of the second telescopic rod 32 away from the first telescopic rod 31. The handle 33 is easy for the operator to hold, and hand glue can be wrapped around the handle 33 to improve grip strength.

[0039] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.
