Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressors, and more particularly to an air compressor for glass manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing process, air compressors are key equipment for providing high-pressure air, used for air supply, driving and controlling process steps. Traditional air compressors face significant challenges in terms of heat dissipation efficiency and airflow organization. The intake system lacks optimized design, resulting in large intake turbulence losses and uneven airflow distribution, leading to reduced compression efficiency and increased energy consumption. Heat dissipation of high-temperature compressed air relies on conventional radiators and fans, but the exhaust channel design is unreasonable, resulting in rapid air diffusion, low flow velocity, and serious heat retention. This not only reduces heat dissipation efficiency but also affects equipment lifespan. Especially in the harsh environment of high temperature and high dust in glass factories, dust accumulation on radiators further deteriorates heat dissipation performance. Existing equipment lacks efficient airflow guidance and protection mechanisms, leading to increased equipment failure rates and limited continuous production capacity.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air compressor with efficient airflow guidance, strong heat dissipation capabilities, and easy maintenance to meet the high-strength and high-stability air supply requirements of glass manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices, this utility model provides an air compressor for glass manufacturing.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: an air compressor for glass manufacturing includes an air compressor housing, a first air inlet plate rotatably connected to the left side of the air compressor housing, a guide frame provided on the first air inlet plate, a radiator provided in the middle of the air compressor housing, a heat dissipation vent opened on the upper right side of the air compressor housing, a cooling fan installed on the heat dissipation vent, a heat dissipation frame installed on the upper right side of the air compressor housing, and a second air inlet plate rotatably connected to the right side of the air compressor housing.

[0006] To further explain, it also includes locking components, with two locking components rotatably connected to both the first and second air inlet plates.

[0007] To further explain, it also includes reinforcing ribs, which are installed inside the flow guide frame.

[0008] To further explain, it also includes a guide frame, and the second air inlet plate is provided with a guide groove.

[0009] To further explain, it also includes an arc-shaped structure. An arc-shaped structure is provided on the right side of the air inlet plate. The arc-shaped structure is located outside the guide groove and covers the guide groove.

[0010] To further explain, the heat dissipation frame is a gradually converging structure.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention precisely guides airflow through a dual-flow first and second air inlet plate, significantly reducing inlet turbulence loss and minimizing vortices. The convergent heat dissipation frame accelerates exhaust through the Venturi effect, enhances the suction force of the cooling fan, significantly improves heat exchange efficiency, solves the problem of high-temperature compressed air retention, and reduces equipment heat load and operating energy consumption.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] An air compressor for glass manufacturing, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes an air compressor housing 1. A first air inlet plate 2 is rotatably connected to the left side of the air compressor housing 1. A guide frame 4 is provided on the first air inlet plate 2. A radiator 6 is provided in the middle of the air compressor housing 1. A heat dissipation vent 7 is opened on the upper right side of the air compressor housing 1. A cooling fan 8 is installed on the heat dissipation vent 7. A heat dissipation frame 9 is installed on the upper right side of the air compressor housing 1. The heat dissipation frame 9 is a gradually converging structure. A second air inlet plate 10 is rotatably connected to the right side of the air compressor housing 1. Two locking pieces 3 are rotatably connected to both the first air inlet plate 2 and the second air inlet plate 10. A reinforcing rib 5 is installed inside the guide frame 4. A guide groove 11 is provided on the second air inlet plate 10. An arc-shaped structure 12 is provided on the right side of the air inlet plate. The arc-shaped structure 12 is located outside the guide groove 11 and covers the guide groove 11.

[0021] It should be noted that when the equipment starts to perform the air compression operation required for glass manufacturing, the ambient air first enters the system through the first air inlet plate 2, which is rotatably connected to the left side of the air compressor box 1. The first air inlet plate 2 is equipped with a guide frame 4, whose specific tilt angle and internal contour can effectively guide the incoming airflow, minimize inlet turbulence loss, reduce vortex generation, achieve initial convergence and direction optimization of airflow, and ensure that the air flows smoothly and efficiently to the core compression area. The compression process takes place in the compression chamber, where the high-speed rotating rotor or reciprocating piston does work on the intake air, greatly increasing the air pressure and temperature. The high-temperature and high-pressure air generated by compression then enters the key temperature control stage, that is, it flows through the radiator 6 installed in the middle of the air compressor box 1. The radiator 6 is usually composed of dense metal fins and pipes, which greatly expands the heat exchange area.High-temperature compressed air flows through the internal pipes of radiator 6, transferring the large amount of heat it carries to the fins of radiator 6. To ensure maximum heat dissipation efficiency, the cooling fan 8, installed on the upper right side of the air compressor housing 1, is started forcefully. The fan rotates at high speed, generating a powerful forced airflow. This airflow mainly comes from the second air intake plate 10, which is rotatably connected to the right side of the air compressor housing 1. This air intake plate also has its own guide grooves 11 to optimize the introduction path of the external cooling airflow. A curved structure 12 may also be provided on its right side, covering the outside of the guide grooves 11. This curved design not only improves airflow efficiency but also... The airflow guiding structure is physically protected against accidental collisions and can guide external air through a smooth curved surface, reducing wind resistance and improving cooling intake efficiency. It draws in relatively cool ambient air, which flows over the surface of the external fins of the radiator 6. Through convection heat transfer, the heat absorbed by the fins from the compressed air is carried away. The cooling air, carrying the compressed heat, is drawn in by the cooling fan 8 and discharged through the right-side heat dissipation port 7 under the powerful drive of the fan. The heat dissipation frame 9, located outside the heat dissipation port 7 and installed on the upper right side of the air compressor housing 1, plays a crucial role. This heat dissipation frame 9 is designed... The gradually converging structure significantly accelerates the exhaust airflow. According to fluid mechanics principles, the convergence of the flow channel cross-sectional area increases the airflow velocity. This increased velocity not only improves the heat dissipation flow rate per unit time and accelerates the heat dissipation process, but also creates a stronger negative pressure suction effect. This further promotes the continuous and stable entry of more external cooling air into the system from the left and right air inlets, forming a circulating and efficient heat dissipation path. Notably, both the first air inlet 2 and the second air inlet 10 on both sides can be rotatably connected to the housing, which greatly facilitates daily inspection, maintenance, and possible internal system cleaning. The entire working process is continuous and dynamic: external cooling air is efficiently introduced through the optimized air inlet and guide frame 4 → the compression unit pressurizes and heats the air → the high-temperature compressed air exchanges heat with the fins in the radiator 6 → the cooling fan 8 draws in a large amount of cooling air from the other side → the cooling airflow washes over the fins of the radiator 6, carrying away heat → the airflow carrying waste heat is accelerated and discharged through the converging heat dissipation frame 9 → the negative pressure suction effect continuously guides fresh air in, thereby achieving effective cooling of the compressed air and long-term stable operation of the equipment, providing qualified pressurized air for the glass manufacturing process.
