AI Technical Summary
Existing glass washing machines suffer from problems such as wasted airflow, reduced wind speed, and increased energy consumption in their drying mechanisms, especially when the glass width is less than the total length of the air knife, resulting in low efficiency.
The system employs a multi-segment air knife, photoelectric sensor, and solenoid valve in conjunction with a speed-regulating fan. It automatically adjusts the length of the working section of the air knife and the output power of the fan according to the width of the glass, thereby reducing airflow escape and achieving energy-saving effects.
By automatically adjusting the power of the air knife and fan, airflow escape is reduced, drying quality and efficiency are improved, and energy consumption is reduced.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass deep processing equipment, and relates to an energy-saving glass drying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Before undergoing advanced processing, glass typically needs to be cleaned in a cleaning machine. These machines usually have a drying mechanism to dry the washed glass. However, the air blades in the drying mechanism of current cleaning machines are often a single unit, which has the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1. When the width of the glass is less than the total length of the air knife, the area without glass forms an ineffective airflow, resulting in a waste of 30-50% of the airflow.
[0004] 2. Since there are no obstructions in the ineffective area, more airflow escapes from this area, resulting in a 20-40% decrease in wind speed in the effective working section, which affects the drying quality.
[0005] 3. Fixed-frequency fans cannot self-adjust; when the frequency is forcibly increased, energy consumption increases by 150-200%. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a manual film removal machine for insulating glass production. This machine aims to enable workers to perform edge film removal operations on irregularly shaped or curved coated steel products, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of film removal.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An energy-saving glass drying mechanism, characterized in that the mechanism includes a cabinet installed inside a glass washing machine; the cabinet has an inclined support plate with several guide wheels distributed on the support plate, and a row of conveyor rollers at the bottom of the support plate, allowing the glass to move in an inclined posture under the combined support of the conveyor rollers and guide wheels; a notch is opened in the middle of the support plate, and a pair of air knives are fixed at the notch on the cabinet; each air knife has a partition fixed inside, and each partition divides the corresponding air knife into several air knife segments, and each air knife segment is provided with an air inlet pipe; the cabinet contains a controller, a fan, and an air distribution box, and the air distribution box has a main air inlet pipe and several branch pipes corresponding one-to-one with the air inlet pipes, and each branch pipe is provided with a solenoid valve; the fan is connected to the main air inlet pipe, and each branch pipe is connected to the corresponding air inlet pipe; the fan is a speed-regulating fan, and the front end of the support plate is provided with several photoelectric sensors.
[0008] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0009] This air-drying mechanism uses a multi-segment air knife in conjunction with photoelectric sensors, solenoid valves, and a speed-regulating fan. This allows it to automatically adjust the length of the air knife working section and the output power of the fan according to the width of the glass, thereby reducing airflow escape and achieving energy savings.

[0013] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an energy-saving glass drying mechanism includes a cabinet 1 installed inside a glass washing machine; the cabinet 1 has an inclined support plate 11, on which a plurality of guide rollers 12 are distributed, and a row of conveyor rollers 13 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 11, allowing the glass to move in an inclined posture under the combined support of the conveyor rollers 13 and the guide rollers 12; a notch is opened in the middle of the support plate 11, and a pair of air knives 2 are fixed at the notch on the cabinet 1; each air knife 2 has a partition 21 fixed inside. Each partition 21 divides the corresponding air knife 2 into several air knife sections, and each air knife section is equipped with an air inlet pipe 22; the cabinet 1 is equipped with a controller, a fan and an air distribution box 3, the air distribution box 3 is equipped with an air inlet main pipe 31 and several branch pipes 32 that correspond one-to-one with the air inlet pipes 22, and each branch pipe 32 is equipped with a solenoid valve 33; there are pipe connections between the fan and the air inlet main pipe 31, and between each branch pipe 32 and the corresponding air inlet pipe 22; the front end of the support plate 11 is equipped with several photoelectric sensors 4.
[0015] Working Principle: This air-drying mechanism uses photocells and solenoid valves 33 to control the air outlet sections of the segmented air knife 2. Each photocell is located at the bottom of its respective air knife section. When the cleaned glass moves into the air-drying mechanism under the action of the conveyor roller 13, it scans several photocells. The control center then opens the solenoid valve 33 connected to the corresponding air knife section, causing the air knife section to blow air onto the glass from both sides. The airflow path is as follows: Figure 2 As indicated by the small arrows. Simultaneously, the control center adjusts the fan to a suitable output power based on the signals received from the photocells, thereby saving energy without affecting the glass drying effect. Of course, to avoid frequent fan starts and stops, a delay can be set in the control center, such as for 360 seconds. If none of the photocells are scanned, the control center will shut down the fan.
[0016] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
