Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a drying air temperature regulation device for a glass cleaning and drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass manufacturing and processing industry, the performance of the drying air temperature control device in glass cleaning and drying machines directly affects glass surface quality, production efficiency, and energy consumption. Existing technologies often present a trade-off between energy consumption and drying quality in traditional drying equipment. Traditional open-loop hot air circulation systems fail to effectively recover the heat energy from high-temperature waste gas, resulting in thermal efficiency typically below 60%, high energy costs, and the unfiltered circulating air easily carries impurities, leading to glass surface contamination or water stains. Furthermore, traditional heating elements are mostly fixed installations, requiring disassembly of the air duct for maintenance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Temperature control relies on manual experience, lacking real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, making it difficult to optimize parameters based on glass material, transmission speed, etc., thus affecting quality stability. Although some technologies have attempted improvements, problems such as manual adjustment of zoned air ducts, lack of closed-loop temperature control, and low integration of waste heat recovery systems remain unresolved.
[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, this utility model proposes a drying air temperature regulation device for a glass cleaning and drying machine.

An adjusting motor 33 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the housing 1. The output shaft of the adjusting motor 33 is axially fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 31, which can provide driving force for the two double-acting screws 3.
[0035] The heating box 4 and the fan 43 are fixedly installed on the top of the state, and there are multiple electric heating plates 401 which are detachably installed in the heating box 4. The air outlet of the fan 43 is connected to the heating box 4.
[0036] Left flexible hose 42 and right flexible hose 46 are fixedly installed on the two hollow plates 2 on the left and the two hollow plates 2 on the right respectively. The two left flexible hoses 42 are connected to the same left connecting pipe 41 that is connected to the heating box 4. The two right flexible hoses 46 are connected to the same right connecting pipe 45. A filter box 44 filled with filter material is fixedly installed on the top of the box 1. The right connecting pipe 45 is connected to the filter box 44, and the air inlet of the fan 43 is connected to the filter box 44. The setting of the left flexible hose 42 and right flexible hose 46 can ensure the normal delivery of air while avoiding affecting the position adjustment of the shell 2.
[0037] In order to monitor the temperature of the hot air blown onto the glass, so that operators can adjust the drying temperature according to actual needs based on the monitored temperature data, multiple temperature sensors 212 are fixedly installed on the side of the two perforated plates 211 that are close to each other.
[0038] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the glass to pass through the box 1 and perform the drying operation, a plurality of support rollers 11 arranged in parallel to each other are rotatably installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box 1 to provide support for the glass to be dried.
[0039] In this embodiment, in order to dehumidify and filter the air drawn in from the housing 1, the filter material in the filter box 44 is activated carbon granules.
[0040] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the heating plate 401, the same mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top side of multiple heating plates 401. The top of the heating box 4 is provided with a slot for sealing and snapping the mounting plate. Multiple heating plates 401 pass through the slot and are inserted into the heating box 4.

The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.
[0043] Working Principle: In operation, first connect the power supply. When drying the cleaned glass, push the glass into the chamber 1 through the rectangular opening on the left. Multiple support rollers 11 provide stable support. Simultaneously, start the fan 43 and heating plate 401. The fan 43 draws air from the chamber 1 through the right-side shell 21 and hollow plate 2 into the filter box 44, then injects it into the heating chamber 4. This air is then transported through the left connecting pipe 41 and left flexible hose 42 to the hollow plate 2 on the left. The perforated plate 211 evenly disperses the air across the surface, including the upper and lower surfaces, thus achieving the drying process. During this process, the temperature sensor 212 on the perforated plate 211 monitors the temperature of the blown air in real time, allowing operators to adjust the drying process according to actual needs. Adjust the heating plate 401 to a suitable temperature. Since the fan 43 draws air from the chamber 1 through the filter box 44, right connecting pipe 45, right flexible hose 46, hollow plate 2 on the right side, and shell 21, heat can be recovered and reused, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption in the glass drying process. When it is necessary to preheat the glass before drying, feed from the rectangular opening on the right side. When the fan 43 draws air from the chamber 1, the hot air on the left side of the chamber 1 can diffuse to the right, thereby achieving the preheating operation of the glass. By adjusting the motor 33, rotating shaft 31, pulley 34, belt 35, helical gear 32, and double-acting screw 3, the length of the preheating section can be adjusted according to the speed of the glass passing through the chamber 1, and it can also adapt well to the drying and preheating operations of glass of different sizes.
[0044] The above provides a detailed description of the drying air temperature regulation device for a glass washing and drying machine provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
