Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass bottle annealing technology, and in particular relates to a glass bottle production annealing device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bottles are containers made primarily of glass. They are formed from molten glass through processes such as blowing, pressing, and drawing. They are one of the traditional preferred packaging materials for food and beverages. During the production of glass bottles, in order to eliminate stress and prevent cold-induced explosions, the glass bottles need to undergo annealing and cooling.

[0003] Currently, in the heat treatment process of glass bottles using existing annealing furnaces, different sides of the glass bottle are heated differently depending on their distance from the heat source. This uneven heating of the glass bottle as a whole can easily cause different strengths in different parts of the glass bottle, making the weaker parts of the glass bottle very easy to break during subsequent transportation, storage and use.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes an annealing apparatus for glass bottle production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an annealing apparatus for glass bottle production, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to an annealing device for glass bottle production, including a conveyor belt and multiple sets of opposing fixed boxes 1 and 2. A movable plate is provided between each of the fixed boxes 1 and 2, and the movable plate is penetrated by multiple clamping seats. Multiple rotating seats are provided between the fixed boxes 1 and the movable plate. The movable plate drives the clamping seats to move laterally and cooperate with the rotating seats to clamp and fix the glass bottles. A heating mechanism is provided above the conveyor belt, and multiple worm gears are fixed to the outer wall of a rotating shaft 1. A connecting shaft coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft is fixed on one side of the rotating seat. The rotation of the worm gears drives the rotating seat to rotate through the rotating shaft 1 and the connecting shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the second fixed box is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt via a fixed plate. The second fixed box is rotatably mounted with a screw, and the second fixed box is provided with a sliding plate that is threadedly connected to the screw. Multiple smooth rods are fixedly mounted on one side of the sliding plate, and the smooth rods pass through the side wall of the second fixed box and are fixedly connected to the moving plate. The second fixed box is provided with a motor whose output end is fixedly connected to the screw on the outside.

[0009] Furthermore, the first fixed box is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt via a fixed plate, the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first fixed box, the outer wall of the second rotating shaft rotatably installed inside the first fixed box is provided with a worm gear meshing with a worm wheel, and the outer wall of the first fixed box is provided with a motor 1 whose output shaft is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating seat is disposed within a fixed seat that is fixedly connected to the fixed box, and the rotating seat is connected to the fixed seat via a bearing, and the clamping seat is connected to the moving plate via a bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is sleeved and installed outside the rotating roller, and both ends of the rotating roller are rotatably connected to the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating mechanism includes a fan and a heater fixedly connected to the top surface of the gantry frame. The two sides of the heater are respectively connected to the air outlet of the fan and the top of the air outlet nozzle through pipes. The gantry frame is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a receiving groove is provided on the side of the rotating seat and the clamping seat that are close to each other.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention uses a movable plate to move the clamping seat closer to the rotating seat. The clamping seat and the rotating seat cooperate to form a stable clamping of the glass bottle. The movable setting of the clamping seat allows the device to clamp and fix glass bottles of different lengths.

[0016] This invention uses a worm gear to drive the rotating seat to rotate, which in turn drives the glass bottle held by the clamping seat and the rotating seat to rotate. During the annealing process, the rotation of the glass bottle makes its surface heat up evenly, which can effectively solve the problem of uneven distribution of thermal stress on the surface of the glass bottle and ensure that all parts of the bottle shrink synchronously within a constant temperature difference range.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, this utility model is a glass bottle production annealing device, including a conveyor belt 2, and multiple sets of fixed boxes 1-4 and fixed boxes 2-12 arranged opposite to each other. A movable plate 10 is respectively arranged between the fixed box 1-4 and the fixed box 2-12, and the movable plate 10 is penetrated by multiple clamping seats 11.

A heating mechanism is provided above the conveyor belt 2. Multiple worm gears 7 are fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 1-701. A connecting shaft 601 coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 1-701 is fixed on one side of the rotating seat 6. The rotation of the worm gears 7 drives the rotating seat 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1-701 and the connecting shaft 601. A receiving groove is opened on the side of the rotating seat 6 and the clamping seats 11 that are close to each other.

[0030] This embodiment provides a glass bottle production annealing device. The number of rotating seats 6 and clamping seats 11 arranged between each set of fixed boxes 1-4 and 2-12 is the same, and the axes of the rotating seats 6 and clamping seats 11 are on the same horizontal line. Multiple glass bottles are placed at one end in the receiving grooves opened in the rotating seats 6. The movable plate 10 can move to drive the clamping seats 11 closer to the rotating seats 6, thereby allowing the other end of the glass bottle to enter the receiving grooves opened in the clamping seats 11. The movable plate 10 and the rotating seats 6 cooperate to clamp and fix the glass bottles. The movable design of the clamping seats 11 allows the movable plate 10 and the rotating seats 6 to fix glass bottles of different lengths. The glass bottles are heated by a heating mechanism. The rotation of the worm gear 7 drives the rotating seats 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 1-701 and the connecting shaft 601, further driving the clamped glass bottles to rotate, thereby achieving uniform heating of the glass bottles and avoiding uneven heating.

[0031] The fixed box 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2 via a fixed plate 3. A screw 1302 is rotatably mounted on the fixed box 12, and a sliding plate 13 is provided inside the fixed box 12 and threadedly connected to the screw 1302. Multiple smooth rods 1301 are fixedly mounted on one side of the sliding plate 13, and the smooth rods 1301 penetrate the side wall of the fixed box 12 and are fixedly connected to the moving plate 10. A motor 14 with its output end fixedly connected to the screw 1302 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the fixed box 12. The motor 14 drives the screw 1302 to rotate, thereby pushing the sliding plate 13 to move laterally, and further pushing the moving plate 10 to move through the smooth rods 1301. The smooth rods 1301 guide the movement of the sliding plate 13 and ensure the stability of the lateral movement of the sliding plate 13.

[0032] The fixed box 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2 via a fixed plate 3. The rotating shaft 701 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 4. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 801, which is rotatably installed inside the fixed box 4, is provided with a worm 8 that meshes with the worm wheel 7. The outer wall of the fixed box 4 is provided with a motor 9 whose output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 801. Multiple worm wheels 7 and rotating shafts 801 are provided. The rotating shaft 801 is driven to rotate by the motor 9, and the worm wheel 7 is further driven to rotate by the worm 8, thereby driving multiple glass bottles arranged between the fixed boxes 4 and 12 in the same group to rotate synchronously.

[0033] The rotating seat 6 is disposed in the fixed seat 5 which is fixedly connected to the fixed box 4, and the rotating seat 6 is connected to the fixed seat 5 through a bearing. The clamping seat 11 is connected to the moving plate 10 through a bearing. The inner wall of the fixed seat 5 and the outer wall of the rotating seat 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer ring and inner ring of the bearing. The clamping seat 11 and the moving plate 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner ring and outer ring of the bearing.

[0034] The conveyor belt 2 is sleeved and installed outside the rotating roller 101, and the two ends of the rotating roller 101 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1. The outer wall of the mounting plate 1 is fixed with a drive motor to drive the rotating roller 101 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. The conveyor belt 2 is used to carry the glass bottle under the heating mechanism.

[0035] The heating mechanism includes a fan 15 and a heater 16 fixedly connected to the top surface of the gantry frame 102. The two sides of the heater 16 are respectively connected to the air outlet of the fan 15 and the top of the air outlet 17 through pipes. The gantry frame 102 is fixed on the top surface of the mounting plate 1, and the air outlet 17 is located below the gantry frame 102. The fan 15 sends outside air into the heater 16 for heating, and the heater 16 discharges hot air through the air outlet 17 to heat the glass bottle below.

[0036] It is understandable that this utility model clamps and fixes glass bottles of different lengths, and secondly, the glass bottles can rotate to ensure that they are heated evenly.

[0037] A specific application of the operation process in this embodiment is as follows: one end of the glass bottle is placed in the rotating seat 6, the second drive motor 14 drives the screw 1302 to rotate, and further pushes the moving plate 10 to move laterally through the sliding plate 13 and the smooth rod 1301, so that the clamping seat 11 cooperates with the rotating seat 6 to clamp and fix the glass bottle. Then, the conveyor belt drives the first fixed box 4 and the second fixed box 12 to move through the fixed plate 3, so that the glass bottle passes under the air outlet 17. The heater 16 heats the air drawn by the fan 15 and blows it out through the air outlet 17 to heat the glass bottle below. The first motor 9 drives the second rotating shaft 801 to rotate, and further drives the worm wheel 7 to rotate through the worm 8, so that the rotating seat 6 is rotated through the first rotating shaft 701 and the connecting shaft 601, and then drives the rotating seat 6 and the glass bottle clamped by the clamping seat 11 to rotate, so that the glass bottle is heated evenly.
