Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of emergency cooling technology for glass kilns, and relates to an emergency cooling duct support for a pool furnace channel. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of substrate glass, the furnace and channels are the core equipment for melting and transporting molten glass, and their structural integrity directly affects production safety and product quality. With extended production cycles or sudden production accidents (such as refractory material erosion or thermal stress accumulation), "red-hot leakage" may occur in the furnace walls or channels, meaning that high-temperature molten glass seeps out through weak points. Red-hot leakage in the furnace walls can cause molten glass to overflow, resulting in equipment damage, production interruptions, and even safety hazards; while red-hot leakage in the channels can lead to abnormal molten glass flow, directly affecting key quality indicators such as the thickness uniformity and surface defect rate of the glass substrate. Therefore, red-hot leakage must be strictly monitored and controlled in a timely manner during production.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream emergency solution for molten glass leakage in furnaces is to install cooling ducts in the leakage area. Forced air cooling lowers the local temperature, slowing or stopping the leakage. However, existing cooling duct installation methods have significant drawbacks: they typically use simple fixing structures (such as wire binding or temporary bolt fixing) to mount the ducts on the furnace steel structure or auxiliary equipment surface. While this method allows for rapid deployment, in actual operation, it is highly susceptible to displacement due to human error (such as accidental contact during inspections or maintenance interference) or equipment vibration, preventing the cooling airflow from accurately covering the leakage point. Once the duct deviates from its preset position, its cooling efficiency will be significantly reduced, increasing the risk of leakage and potentially triggering a chain reaction of production accidents. Furthermore, frequent duct repositioning increases maintenance costs and affects the continuous operation efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] This utility model provides an emergency cooling duct support for a furnace channel, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a first support rod 1 and multiple second support rods 2. A first connector 3 is mounted on the first support rod 1. The tops of the multiple second support rods 2 are all connected to the first connector 3. A second connector 4 is mounted on the first support rod 1. The bodies of the multiple second support rods 2 are all connected to the second connector 4. This invention, through the coordinated design of the first support rod 1 and the multiple second support rods 2, combined with the dual connection structure of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, forms a stable spatial support network, which can effectively distribute the load on emergency cooling ducts and adapt to the needs of different installation angles.

[0029] Both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2 are telescopic structures. By adjusting the height of the support rods, the installation position of the emergency cooling duct bracket can be precisely controlled, ensuring optimal installation performance under various environmental conditions. Furthermore, the telescopic design simplifies the installation and adjustment process, reduces installation time and labor costs, and further enhances the overall system's reliability and economy.

[0030] The first support rod 1 has a C-shaped ring 5 at its top; a tightening device 6 is installed through the top of the C-shaped ring 5; the tightening device 6 includes an adjusting screw 61 threadedly connected to the C-shaped ring 5; and a rubber pad 62 is installed at the end of the adjusting screw 61. The main function of the C-shaped ring 5 is to fix the emergency cooling duct, while the adjusting screw 61 tightens the duct by rotating, effectively preventing the duct from loosening during use. The design of the rubber pad 62 not only ensures a tight fit between the adjusting screw 61 and the duct, improving the stability of the overall structure, but also prevents the adjusting screw 61 from directly contacting the duct surface, preventing scratches and extending its service life.

[0031] The support structure is coated with a ceramic coating, which has excellent high-temperature resistance and can effectively resist the corrosion of the extreme high-temperature environment inside the glass furnace, thereby significantly improving the durability and stability of the support structure. At the same time, the ceramic coating not only has excellent heat insulation properties, but also prevents the support structure from oxidizing, deforming or corroding at high temperatures, ensuring that it can maintain its structural integrity and functionality under long-term high-temperature conditions.

[0032] The second connector 4 is connected by a crossbar 8 and a second support rod 2, and the crossbar 8 and the second support rod 2 correspond one-to-one. The crossbar 8 can effectively distribute and bear the weight and external stress from the emergency cooling duct, thereby reducing the stress concentration on the first support rod 1 and distributing the weight of the emergency cooling duct to the second support rod 2, thus avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0033] The crossbar 8 is a telescopic structure; the first connecting member 3 is connected to the multiple second support rods 2 via a hinge mechanism, which is equipped with a locking mechanism. The second support rods 2 can be adjusted in angle as needed, thereby flexibly adjusting the overall shape and support range of the bracket; the telescopic characteristic of the crossbar 8 and the angle adjustment function of the second support rods 2 work together to automatically or manually adjust the length of the crossbar 8 when the angle of the second support rods 2 changes, ensuring the stability and adaptability of the support structure.

[0034] The first support rod 1 includes an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12; the inner tube 11 is screwed and fixed to the outer tube 12. The diameter of the outer tube 12 is designed to be larger than the diameter of the inner tube 11, which lowers the center of gravity of the first support rod 1 and the bracket as a whole. At the same time, the inner tube 11 has a hollow structure, which further lowers the center of gravity of the first support rod 1 and the bracket. This can effectively reduce the risk of swaying of the bracket when subjected to external forces, improve its anti-overturning ability, and thus significantly enhance the stability of the bracket system.

[0035] The bottom of each of the second support rods 2 is provided with an anti-slip pad 7, which can effectively increase the friction between the support rod and the contact surface, thereby preventing the second support rod 2 from moving or sliding accidentally due to the smooth ground.

[0036] The second support rod 2 is equipped with a graduated scale, providing an intuitive and precise reference for adjusting its length. This scale allows users to easily and accurately adjust the length of the second support rod 2, ensuring it can adapt to different installation needs and environmental conditions. Furthermore, the scale allows multiple second support rods 2 to reference each other, ensuring they can be adjusted to the same height. This achieves overall levelness and balance of the bracket, reducing stress concentration or installation errors caused by inconsistent heights of the second support rods, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the bracket.

[0037] The adjusting screw 61 has anti-slip threads on its surface, which makes it easier for the operator to rotate the adjusting screw 61.

[0038] The C-shaped ring 5 is equipped with a pressure sensor, which can monitor the pressure changes inside the emergency cooling duct in real time. When an abnormal pressure is detected, such as insufficient pressure or excessive pressure, it can promptly remind the operator to take corresponding measures, thereby improving the safety of dealing with the risk of leakage.

The inner tube 11 is screwed to the outer tube 12 and fixed. The diameter of the outer tube 12 is larger than the diameter of the inner tube 11, and the inner tube 11 has a hollow structure inside. The bottom of the second support rod 2 is provided with an anti-slip pad 7 and the side is provided with a scale layer.

[0041] The first support rod 1 is also provided with a first connector 3; the tops of the three second support rods 2 are all connected to the first connector 3 through a hinge mechanism; the first support rod 1 is provided with a second connector 4, which is located below the first connector 3, and the rods of the three second support rods 2 are all connected to the second connector 4 through a crossbar 8; the first support rod 1, the second support rods 2 and the crossbar 8 are all telescopic structures;

[0043] In use, adjust the three second support rods 2 to the same length using the scale layer as a reference, and support the three second support rods 2 on the ground so that the lines connecting the contact points of the three second support rods 2 and the ground form an equilateral triangle, and the included angle between adjacent second support rods 2 is 60°; fix the hinge mechanism with the locking mechanism to prevent the second support rods 2 from shifting. Adjust the height of the first support rod 1 to match the installation height of the emergency cooling air duct, pass the emergency cooling air duct through the C-ring 5, and rotate the adjusting screw 61 downwards so that the rubber pad 62 at its end fits tightly against the emergency cooling air duct.

[0044] After use, rotate the adjusting screw 61 upwards to remove the emergency cooling air duct, adjust both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2 to their shortest lengths, loosen the locking mechanism, and adjust the second support rod 2 to make it parallel to the first support rod 1.
