A drying device for tempered glass production Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a drying equipment for tempered glass production. Background Technology
[0002] Tempered glass is a type of safety glass. It is made by treating ordinary glass using physical or chemical methods to create compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress inside, thereby improving the glass's strength and safety. During the production process, tempered glass undergoes cleaning to remove contaminants such as cutting debris, grinding dust, oil, and fingerprints from the glass surface. After cleaning, it is then dried.
[0003] Currently used tempered glass drying equipment typically employs either direct hot air blowing or infrared radiation heating to dry the glass. However, if residual moisture on the glass surface is not effectively removed before drying, excess water stains require prolonged drying time, resulting in low drying efficiency and high energy consumption. Therefore, this invention provides a drying device for tempered glass production. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model discloses a drying device for tempered glass production, including a base 1, a mesh conveyor belt 2 fixed on the upper end surface of the base 1, and a scraping section 3 and a drying section 6 that are connected to each other fixed on both sides of the upper end surface of the mesh conveyor belt 2.
[0024] The wiper section 3 is equipped with a wiper assembly 4. The wiper assembly 4 includes a mounting bracket 43 installed inside the wiper section 3. The lower end of the mounting bracket 43 is elastically connected to an angled mounting base 41. The lower end of the angled mounting base 41 is detachably connected to an angled wiper strip 42. A stud 46 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end face of the mounting bracket 43.
[0025] The drying section 6 is equipped with a drying component 7, which is used to dry the incoming tempered glass with hot air.
[0026] Specifically, tempered glass is transported by a mesh conveyor belt 2. During the drying process, the tempered glass passes through the squeegee section 3 and the drying section 6 in sequence, thereby completing the drying process.
[0027] In this embodiment, the drying assembly 7 includes a fan 71 fixed above the drying section 6 and an air outlet box 73 fixed inside the drying section 6. The lower end of the air outlet box 73 is open, and a reflector 74 is installed inside. An electric heating tube 75 is installed inside the reflector 74. The upper end of the reflector 74 is open. The air outlet end of the fan 71 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe 72 that communicates with the air outlet box 73.
[0028] Specifically, during operation, the fan 71 draws in outside air and sends it through the inlet pipe 72 into the outlet box 73. The electric heating element 75 inside the outlet box 73 is energized and heats up, thus heating the surrounding air. The reflector 74 serves to concentrate and guide heat; it has an opening at the top that allows airflow, ensuring that hot air is concentrated and evenly directed onto the tempered glass surface, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the glass surface.
[0029] In this embodiment, the stud 46 is sleeved with the wiper section 3, and its upper end extends out of the top surface of the wiper section 3 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel. Guide rods 45 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting bracket 43, and the upper ends of the two guide rods 45 slide through the top surface of the wiper section 3.
[0030] Specifically, the stud 46 is sleeved with the wiper section 3. The height of the mounting bracket 43 can be adjusted by turning the handwheel, thereby adjusting the contact pressure between the angled wiper blade 42 and the glass surface. The guide rod 45 serves as a guide, ensuring the stability of the mounting bracket 43 during its vertical movement.
[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 43 is elastically connected to the angled mounting base 41 by multiple spring rods 44. The lower end of the angled mounting base 41 is provided with a groove, and the upper end of the angled wiper strip 42 is embedded in the groove and detachably connected to the angled mounting base 41 by multiple screws.
[0032] Specifically, the angular wiper blade 42 is detachably connected to the angular mounting base 41 via screws, facilitating replacement after wear. Simultaneously, the angular wiper blade 42, connected via a spring rod 44, adapts to the unevenness of the glass surface, preventing glass damage caused by hard contact and ensuring even wiping.
[0033] In this embodiment, a water collection trough 8 is provided inside the mesh conveyor belt 2 directly below the scraper section 3. A drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end face of the water collection trough 8, and the end of the drain pipe 9 extends to the outer end of the mesh conveyor belt 2.
[0034] Specifically, the water collection tank 8 is used to collect the water scraped off by the scraper assembly 4. This water is discharged to the outside of the mesh conveyor belt 2 through the drain pipe 9 to prevent water from accumulating inside the device and affecting the normal operation of the equipment and the drying effect of the tempered glass.
[0035] In this embodiment, baffles 5 are fixedly connected to the openings on both sides of the water scraping section 3 and the drying section 6, and a certain distance is left between the lower end of the baffles 5 and the mesh conveyor belt 2.
[0036] Specifically, the baffle 5 prevents water and hot air from splashing or overflowing from the device during the scraping and drying process, thus protecting the surrounding environment and operators. At the same time, a certain distance is maintained between the lower end of the baffle 5 and the mesh conveyor belt 2, ensuring both unimpeded transport of the tempered glass and adequate ventilation.
[0037] In this embodiment, the angular mounting base 41 is triangular in shape, and the pointed end faces the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the mesh conveyor belt 2.
[0038] Specifically, this design allows the scraped water to flow smoothly to both sides, preventing it from getting back onto the glass surface.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, turn on the mesh conveyor belt 2, the fan 71 and the electric heating tube 75, turn the handwheel on the stud 46, and adjust the distance between the angled squeegee 42 and the upper surface of the mesh conveyor belt 2 according to the thickness of the tempered glass to be dried, so that the angled squeegee 42 can make good contact with the glass surface.
[0040] Next, the tempered glass containing moisture is placed on the mesh conveyor belt 2, which transports the glass to the squeegee section 3. In the squeegee section 3, the angled squeegee strips 42 contact the glass surface, scraping off most of the moisture as the glass moves. The scraped water falls through the mesh of the mesh conveyor belt 2 into the collection tank 8 below, and is then discharged through the drain pipe 9.
[0041] After being wiped clean, the tempered glass continues to enter the drying section 6 via the mesh conveyor belt 2. The fan 71 draws in air and sends it into the air outlet box 73 through the air inlet pipe 72. The electric heating tube 75 heats the air, and the hot air, guided by the reflector 74, is evenly blown onto the surface of the tempered glass to dry it.
[0042] After drying, the tempered glass is output from the drying section 6 via the mesh conveyor belt 2, completing the entire drying process.
