Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blower technology, and more specifically, to a blower used in glass production lines. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with the addition of small amounts of auxiliary materials. With scientific advancements, glass production has become industrialized, greatly improving production efficiency. Currently, in glass production, to cool the produced glass, a blower is needed to accelerate gas flow across the glass surface. However, in actual use, the blower's position relative to the production line is generally fixed, and the air outlet pipe is fixed to the blower. Therefore, when cooling different areas of the glass surface is required, it is often necessary to rotate the blower itself. Since blowers are generally quite large, adjusting their orientation is inconvenient.

[0003] For example, the patent disclosed in CN217005029U discloses a blower for a glass production line. Although the blower uses a rotating motor to facilitate the rotation of the support plate relative to the support plate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the blower's output end to achieve cooling of the glass over a wide range, and the relative position of the support plate and the base plate can be adjusted by adjusting the working plate assembly to adjust the height of the blower as needed, providing convenience for cooling the glass, in actual use, the blower is generally quite large, making it inconvenient to adjust the orientation of the blower's output end. Therefore, it needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a blower for a glass production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A fan for a glass production line includes a fan body, one end of which is provided with an air outlet pipe, and the other end of which is connected to a guide pipe via a corrugated pipe. The fan body also includes an adjustment assembly for adjusting the guide pipe. The adjustment assembly includes an arc-shaped track, on which a movable sliding plate for mounting the guide pipe is provided. The sliding plate is provided with a lifting component for driving the guide pipe to rise and fall. The sliding plate is also provided with a fixing component for fixing the lifting component. The sliding plate is also provided with a locking component for fixing the sliding plate within the arc-shaped track.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a rotatable shaft mounted on a sliding plate, a first turntable on the side of the turntable near the air duct, a guide member on the side of the sliding plate near the air duct, a liftable strip frame on the sliding plate, a guide rod passing through the guide member on the strip frame, a protruding post sliding inside the strip frame on the side wall of the first turntable at the edge, the rotation of the first turntable driving the strip frame to rise and fall, and a connecting block on the strip frame for connecting with the air duct.

[0008] Preferably, the guide includes a first guide block and a second guide block disposed opposite each other on the sliding plate.

[0009] Preferably, a second turntable is provided on the side of the rotating shaft away from the air guide pipe. The second turntable has a threaded hole. The fastener includes a hand-tightening bolt with a threaded connection to the threaded hole. A friction disc is provided at the end of the hand-tightening bolt near the sliding plate. Tightening the hand-tightening bolt makes the friction disc close to the sliding plate to fix the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the arc-shaped track is provided with multiple fixing holes, and the locking element includes a locking rod that is provided on the sliding plate and is movable. The locking rod extends into the fixing holes to fix the sliding plate.

[0011] Preferably, the sliding plate is provided with a housing, and the housing is provided with a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is provided with a movable vertical moving block, and a movable horizontal moving block is also provided opposite to it in the receiving cavity. A locking rod is provided on the horizontal moving block, and one end of the locking rod extends out of the housing. A spring is sleeved on the locking rod located in the housing. The spring is used to push the horizontal moving blocks closer to each other. The horizontal moving block is provided with a first inclined surface, and the vertical moving block is provided with a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface. The second inclined surface presses against the first inclined surface to drive the horizontal moving blocks away from each other.

[0012] Preferably, the housing is provided with an arc-shaped groove along the moving direction of the vertical moving block, and the vertical moving block is provided with a connecting rod that slides in the arc-shaped groove. A nut is threaded onto the connecting rod, and the nut is turned to fix the connecting rod.

[0013] Preferably, an operating handle is fixedly provided on the second turntable.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a corrugated pipe, an arc-shaped track, a sliding plate, a lifting component, and a guide pipe, enables the corrugated pipe to have a certain deformation capability during actual use. Therefore, the bending of the corrugated pipe can change the orientation of the guide pipe. The sliding plate can slide within the arc-shaped track. Because the arc-shaped track is curved, when the sliding plate is at different positions within the arc-shaped track, it can drive the guide pipe located on it to move accordingly, thereby changing the orientation of the guide pipe. This allows the air discharged from the outlet pipe to be guided by the guide pipe and then cooled at different locations on the glass surface on the production line. In conjunction with the lifting component, the height of the outlet pipe on the sliding plate can also be adjusted, allowing for multi-dimensional adjustment of the outlet pipe's orientation, making it more versatile. Compared with existing technologies, this application eliminates the need to adjust the orientation of the fan body when cooling different locations on the glass surface; only the orientation of the guide pipe needs to be adjusted, which is more labor-saving.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through the setting of fixing and locking components, enables the lifting component to be fixed and the sliding plate to be fixed within the arc-shaped track, ultimately keeping the air duct in its current orientation. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-3 This embodiment of a fan for a glass production line includes a fan body, one end of which is provided with an air outlet pipe 105. One end of the air outlet pipe 105 is connected to a guide pipe 107 via a corrugated pipe 106. The fan body also includes an adjustment component for adjusting the guide pipe 107. The adjustment component includes an arc-shaped track 110. The arc-shaped track 110 is provided with a movable sliding plate 200 for mounting the guide pipe 107. The sliding plate 200 is provided with a lifting component for driving the guide pipe 107 to rise and fall. The sliding plate 200 is also provided with a fixing component for fixing the lifting component. The sliding plate 200 is also provided with a locking component for fixing the sliding plate 200 within the arc-shaped track 110.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the fan body includes a fan housing 100 with an internal air duct. A fan impeller is rotatably mounted inside the air duct via bearings. The side wall of the fan housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet connected to the air duct. An air outlet pipe 105 is located at the air outlet. A detachable motor 102 is bolted to the outer side wall of the fan housing 100. The output shaft of the motor 102 is fixedly connected to the fan impeller. The motor 102 is electrically connected to an external power source (such as mains power). When the motor 102 starts, it can drive the fan impeller to rotate, thereby allowing outside air to enter the air duct through the air inlet 101 and finally be discharged from the air outlet pipe 105.

[0034] The design, comprising a corrugated pipe 106, an arc-shaped track 110, a sliding plate 200, a lifting component, and a guide pipe 107, allows the corrugated pipe 106 to deform under actual use. This allows the corrugated pipe 106 to bend and change the orientation of the guide pipe 107. The sliding plate 200 can slide within the arc-shaped track 110. Because the track 110 is arc-shaped, when the sliding plate 200 is at different positions within the track 110, it can move the guide pipe 107 accordingly, thereby changing the orientation of the guide pipe. The orientation of the air duct 107 allows the air discharged from the air outlet duct 105 to be guided by the air guide duct 107, enabling it to cool different locations on the glass surface on the production line. In conjunction with the lifting component, the height of the air outlet duct 105 on the sliding plate 200 can also be adjusted, allowing for multi-dimensional adjustment of the orientation of the air outlet duct 105, making it more versatile. Compared with existing methods, this embodiment does not require adjusting the orientation of the fan body when cooling different locations on the glass surface; only the orientation of the air guide duct 107 needs to be adjusted, which is more labor-saving.

[0035] In this process, after inorganic minerals and auxiliary materials are heated to high temperature and formed into glass, the high-temperature glass is transferred to a conveyor belt (not shown in the figure). Multiple fans are provided along the extension direction of the conveyor belt. The bottom of the arc track 110 and the fan housing 100 is provided with an extension bracket (not shown in the figure). The extension bracket raises the arc track 110 and the fan housing 100 to a height level with the conveyor belt. Thus, the air outlet duct 105 can be at the same horizontal line as the glass. When it is necessary to cool down the glass at different heights, the orientation and height of the air outlet duct 105 can be adjusted so that the adjacent fan bodies can cool the glass at different heights. Specifically, a connecting plate 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan housing 100. The connecting plate 103 and the arc track 110 are connected to the upper end face of the extension bracket by bolts.

[0036] The fasteners and locks secure the lifting mechanism and the sliding plate 200 within the arc track 110, thus keeping the air duct 107 in its current orientation for air guiding.

[0037] Combination Figures 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a rotating shaft 400 mounted on the sliding plate 200 and rotatable. A first turntable 201 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft 400 near the air duct 107. A guide member is provided on the side of the sliding plate 200 near the air duct 107. A liftable strip frame 220 is also provided on the sliding plate 200. A guide rod 221 passing through the guide member is provided on the strip frame 220. A protruding post 230 sliding inside the strip frame 220 is provided on the side wall of the first turntable 201 at the edge position. The rotation of the first turntable 201 is used to drive the strip frame 220 to rise and fall. A connecting block for connecting with the air duct 107 is provided on the strip frame 220.

[0038] In this embodiment, the strip frame 220 is arranged horizontally along the radial direction of the first turntable 201, the rotating shaft 400 is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate 200 through the bearing, the guide includes a first guide block 210 and a second guide block 211 that are opposite to and fixedly connected to the sliding plate 200, the guide rod 221 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the strip frame 220 respectively, the oppositely arranged guide rod 221 is respectively arranged through the first guide block 210 and the second guide block 211, and the protruding post 230 is fixedly connected to the side of the first turntable 201 facing the air duct 107 and near the edge.

[0039] When the first turntable 201 rotates, it can drive the protruding post 230 to slide within the strip frame 220. Under the limiting action of the guide, the strip frame 220 can be raised and lowered on the sliding plate 200. One end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the strip frame 220, and the other end is fixedly connected to the air duct 107. Thus, when the strip frame 220 is raised and lowered, it can drive the air duct 107 to be raised and lowered accordingly, thereby enabling the air blown out of the air duct 107 to cool down the glass surface at different heights.

[0040] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a second turntable 500 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft 400 away from the air duct 107. The second turntable 500 is provided with a threaded hole. The fixing component includes a hand-tightening bolt 502 with a threaded connection to the threaded hole. A friction disc 503 is provided at the end of the hand-tightening bolt 502 near the sliding plate 200. Tightening the hand-tightening bolt 502 makes the friction disc 503 close to the sliding plate 200 to fix the rotating shaft 400.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second turntable 500 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 400, and the friction disc 503 is fixedly connected to the hand-tightening bolt 502. When it is necessary to keep the strip frame 220 in its current position, the hand-tightening bolt 502 is tightened to make the friction disc 503 close to the sliding plate 200. Through the friction between the friction disc 503 and the side wall of the sliding plate 200, the second turntable 500 cannot rotate, thereby fixing the rotating shaft 400 and the first turntable 201.

[0042] In order to facilitate the rotation of the second turntable 500, an operating handle 501 is fixedly connected to the second turntable 500. In actual use, the second turntable 500 can be rotated by holding the operating handle 501.

[0043] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the arc-shaped track 110 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 300; the locking member includes a housing 510 provided on the side of the sliding plate 200, and a retractable locking rod 621 is provided inside the housing 510. The locking rod 621 extends into the corresponding fixing hole 300 to fix the sliding plate 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped track 110 is arc-shaped, and a T-shaped groove 310 is provided in the arc-shaped track 110 along its extension direction. The bottom end of the sliding plate 200 and the two sides are fixedly connected to a T-shaped block 630 that slides in the T-shaped groove 310. Through the cooperation of the T-shaped block 630 and the T-shaped groove 310, the sliding plate 200 can slide in the arc-shaped track 110 in a better way. Multiple fixing holes 300 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the T-shaped groove 310 along the circumference of the arc-shaped track 110. The housing 510 can extend into the T-shaped groove 310 along with the sliding plate 200. When the locking rod 621 extends into the fixing hole 300, the sliding plate 200 is fixed in the arc-shaped track 110. When the locking rod 621 is disengaged from the fixing hole 300, the sliding plate 200 can slide in the arc-shaped track 110.

[0045] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 510 is provided with a receiving cavity 600, and the receiving cavity 600 is provided with a vertically movable block 610 that can be raised and lowered. The receiving cavity 600 is also provided with a movable horizontally movable block 620. A locking rod 621 is provided on the corresponding horizontally movable block 620. One end of the locking rod 621 extends out of the housing 510. A spring 622 is sleeved on the locking rod 621 located in the housing 510. The spring 622 is used to push the horizontally movable blocks 620 closer to each other. The horizontally movable block 620 is provided with a first inclined surface. The vertically movable block 610 is provided with a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface. The second inclined surface presses against the first inclined surface to drive the horizontally movable blocks 620 away from each other.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 510 is detachably mounted on the side of the sliding plate 200 away from the air duct 107 by bolts. The vertical moving block 610 and the horizontal moving block 620 overlap on one side of the sliding plate 200. Due to the restriction of the housing 510, the vertical moving block 610 and the horizontal moving block 620 can move within the receiving cavity 600. The locking rod 621 is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal moving block 620. The side wall of the housing 510 is provided with a through hole for the locking rod 621 to pass through. One end of the spring 622 abuts against the side wall of the housing 510, and the other end of the spring 622 abuts against the horizontal moving block 620.

[0047] Specifically, in order to restrict the movement direction of the horizontal moving block 620, a protrusion is provided in the cavity 600 along the horizontal direction, and a groove is provided on the side wall of the horizontal moving block 620. The protrusion can be located in the groove, so that the horizontal moving block 620 can only move along the horizontal direction when it moves, thereby ensuring that the locking rod 621 is always aligned with the through hole.

[0048] When the vertical moving block 610 moves downward, the horizontal moving block 620 is restricted in its direction of movement due to the convex strip and the cooperation between the locking rod 621 and the housing 510. When the second inclined plane presses against the first inclined plane, the horizontal moving blocks 620 will move away from each other, compressing the spring 622. When the vertical moving block 610 moves downward and the second inclined plane disengages from the first inclined plane, the horizontal moving blocks 620 will move closer to each other under the elastic force of the spring 622. At this time, the locking rod 621 disengages from the fixing hole 300.

[0049] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 510 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 511 along the moving direction of the vertical moving block 610, and the vertical moving block 610 is provided with a connecting rod 520 that slides in the arc-shaped groove 511. A nut 521 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 520, and the nut 521 is turned to fix the connecting rod 520.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 520 is fixedly connected to the vertical moving block 610, and one end of the connecting rod 520 extends out from the arc groove 511. When it is necessary to fix the vertical moving block 610, the nut 521 can be turned to make it abut against the housing 510. When it is necessary to move the vertical moving block 610, the nut 521 can be loosened to make it detach from the housing 510, and the connecting rod 520 can be pulled to drive the vertical moving block 610 to move.

[0051] Specifically, there are two connecting rods 520. The connecting rods 520 abut against the side wall of the arc groove 511, so that the vertical moving block 610 is not easy to tilt when it is raised and lowered, and it can only be raised and lowered along the extension direction of the arc groove 511.

[0052] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to cool different locations of the glass by blowing air, firstly, move the sliding plate 200 to the desired position within the arc track 110, then loosen the nut 521 to disengage it from the housing 510, pull the connecting rod 520 to move the vertical moving block 610, causing the second inclined surface to press against the first inclined surface, and the horizontal moving blocks 620 to move away from each other, causing the locking rod 621 to extend into the fixing hole 300, tighten the nut 521, tighten the hand-tightening bolt 502 to disengage the friction disc 503 from the sliding plate 200, hold the operating handle 501 to rotate the second turntable 500, causing the strip frame 220 to rise and fall, thereby causing the air guide pipe 107 to rise and fall, tighten the hand-tightening bolt 502 to make the friction disc 503 contact the sliding plate 200, and finally make the air guide pipe 107 aligned with the desired cooling position.

[0053] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
