[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material that is widely used in daily life. Glass is an important component of doors and windows, especially windows, whose main function is reflected in the glass. Humans obtain light and improve their field of vision through the most important property of glass: transparency, providing us with a more comfortable living environment and a convenient living space. In the glass production process, a tempering furnace is required. A tempering furnace generally includes a feeding section and a heating section. The feeding section is mainly used to smoothly feed the glass into the heating zone.

[0003] The existing tempering furnace's glass feeding section cannot effectively limit and protect the glass during the glass conveying process. When subjected to collisions, it is prone to displacement and may break. Moreover, the general conveying equipment uses a clamping method to fix the glass, which is not convenient, time-consuming and labor-intensive when placing or picking up the glass.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a tempering furnace for glass production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, embodiments of this utility model provide a tempering furnace for glass production. By setting a limiting mechanism, glass of different sizes can be conveyed in a limited manner, preventing the glass from easily shifting during the conveying process and providing excellent protection for the glass. Simultaneously, a rubber plate is provided on the limiting mechanism, which prevents wear on the glass when in contact with the glass edge. Furthermore, by setting a driving mechanism, the glass can be rotated very slowly during the heating process inside the tempering furnace, avoiding uneven heating of the glass due to uneven local heating and potential damage. This provides excellent protection, improves processing efficiency, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the limiting mechanism further includes a second toothed rod that is inclined and slidably connected inside the support rod. The second toothed rod meshes with the first gear. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second toothed rod. A pad is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The pad and the connecting plate extend through to the outside of the support rod.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, four support rods are provided, and they are designed to be perpendicular to each other in pairs. Each of the four support rods is provided with a limit mechanism, and the pad is designed as a soft rubber pad.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the base is provided with a driving mechanism, which includes a second gear rotatably connected inside the support rod, a first disk fixedly connected to the upper end of the second gear, and a second disk rotatably connected inside the base. The first disk and the second disk are connected by a belt.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the second disk is located below the rotating column, and the second disk is fixedly connected to the rotating column.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this invention, the second gear portion is located outside the base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By setting up a limiting mechanism, glass of different sizes can be conveyed in a limited manner, preventing the glass from easily shifting during the conveying process and providing excellent protection for the glass.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3. In this embodiment of the present invention, a tempering furnace for glass production includes a base 1. A rotating column 2 is rotatably connected to the upper center of the base 1. A support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 2. A limiting mechanism is provided on the support rod 3. The limiting mechanism includes a spring column 8 fixedly connected inside the support rod 3. A first toothed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring column 8. A movable column 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first toothed rod 7. The movable column 4 extends through to the outside of the support rod 3. A first gear 10 is rotatably connected inside the support rod 3. The first gear 10 meshes with the first toothed rod 7. The base 1 is used to be installed on the conveyor belt for discharging glass pieces in the tempering furnace to realize the transportation of glass.

[0020] The limiting mechanism also includes a second toothed rod 9 that is inclined and slidably connected inside the support rod 3. The second toothed rod 9 meshes with the first gear 10. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second toothed rod 9. A pad 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 6. The pad 5 and the connecting plate 6 extend to the outside of the support rod 3.

[0021] There are four support rods 3, which are designed to be perpendicular to each other in pairs. Each of the four support rods 3 is equipped with a limit mechanism, and the pad 5 is designed as a soft rubber pad.

[0022] The base 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism, which includes a second gear 11 rotatably connected inside the support rod 3. The upper end of the second gear 11 is fixedly connected to a first disc 12. The base 1 is rotatably connected to a second disc 13. The first disc 12 and the second disc 13 are connected by a belt 14.

[0023] The second disk 13 is located below the rotating column 2, and the second disk 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 2.

[0024] The second gear 11 is located outside the base 1. A corresponding toothed plate is provided at the edge of the conveyor belt. When the base 1 moves with the conveyor belt, the second gear 11 can rotate slowly due to the limiting position of the toothed plate.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When glass needs to be transported, the base 1 can be directly installed on the conveyor belt, and then the glass to be transported can be placed directly on the support rod 3 above the base 1. Subsequently, the glass will push the movable column 4 downward due to gravity, which will then push the first toothed rod 7 to move downward simultaneously. When the first toothed rod 7 moves, it will push the first gear 10 to rotate on the one hand, and squeeze the spring column 8 on the other hand. When the first gear 10 rotates, it will push the second toothed rod 9 to move obliquely upward, thereby pushing the connecting plate 6 to move out of the support rod 3. After the connecting plate 6 is removed from the base 1, the glass above it can be transported... The limit switch prevents the glass from shifting during transport, providing excellent protection. Simultaneously, the pad 5 on the connecting plate 6 contacts the glass, preventing wear on the glass edges and further protecting it. As the base 1 moves slowly with the transmission belt, the second gear 11 rotates under the limit of the toothed groove, causing the first disc 12 above to rotate. This, in turn, causes the second disc 13 to rotate via the belt 14, thus slowly rotating the rotating column 2 and the support rod 3. This prevents uneven heat distribution inside the tempering furnace, which could lead to inconsistent localized heating and glass damage, providing excellent protection and improving processing efficiency.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
