Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical glass production technology, specifically to an optical glass annealing device. Background Technology
[0002] Optical glass is a special type of glass used to manufacture optical components such as lenses, prisms, and mirrors. It possesses high transparency, uniform chemical and physical properties, and precise optical constants. Its production requires annealing, a process that involves slowly heating the glass to a certain temperature, holding it for a period of time, and then slowly cooling it to room temperature. This process aims to eliminate internal stress, prevent deformation and cracking, and ensure the stability of its optical performance and dimensional accuracy. Compared to ordinary glass, optical glass has a purer composition, a more refined manufacturing process, a higher refractive index, and superior optical properties. It is an indispensable material in modern technology, medical, and communication fields. Annealing equipment is required to perform the annealing process on optical glass.
[0003] Currently, during the annealing process, optical glass needs to be placed on a tray inside the annealing furnace for annealing. When placing the optical glass, a certain distance needs to be maintained between multiple pieces to ensure sufficient space for even heat transfer. Generally, the optical glass is first placed on the tray and then the spacing is adjusted. This adjustment is usually done by pushing the glass on the tray or by having the worker pick up the glass and place it again. The former causes friction between the optical glass and the tray, which can damage the glass, while the latter is less efficient as it requires the worker to pick it up again for adjustment, which is cumbersome and affects the annealing efficiency of the optical glass. Utility Model Content

The former causes friction between the optical glass and the tray, which can damage the optical glass, while the latter results in low adjustment efficiency, requiring the operator to pick it up again for adjustment, which is cumbersome and affects the annealing efficiency of the optical glass.

[0025] An auxiliary adjustment mechanism is provided on the support plate 3. The auxiliary adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment plate 5 and two second adjustment plates 6. The first adjustment plate 5 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the two first round rods 4. A first rectangular hole 7 is opened on the upper surface of the first adjustment plate 5.

The two second adjustment plates 6 are in sliding contact with the inner wall of the first rectangular hole 7. A placement platform 9 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the two second adjustment plates 6.
[0026] Furthermore, the auxiliary adjustment mechanism also includes four adjustment rods 10. The left surface of the first adjustment plate 5 has a through hole 11, which communicates with the interior of the first rectangular hole 7.

The four adjustment rods 10 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right surfaces of the two second adjustment plates 6, and all four adjustment rods 10 are slidably installed inside the through hole 11.
[0027] Furthermore, by moving the adjusting rod 10 and the two first adjusting plates 5, the corresponding second adjusting plate 6 and the placement table 9 are moved, thereby adjusting the position of the optical glass on the placement table 9. This facilitates the staff to adjust the spacing of the optical glass, thereby improving the annealing efficiency of the annealing device for the optical glass.
[0028] Furthermore, there are two auxiliary adjustment mechanisms. Both auxiliary adjustment mechanisms are slidably installed on the outer surfaces of the two first round rods 4, and the two auxiliary adjustment mechanisms are installed in a left-right correspondence.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of the two first adjustment plates 5 are provided with second rectangular holes 12 at both ends.
