Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical glass production technology, specifically to a cooling device for optical glass production. Background Technology

[0002] Optical glass plays a crucial role in modern technology, widely used in optical instruments, electronic products, and medical devices. High-temperature melting is a key step in the manufacturing process of optical glass. After high-temperature melting, the optical glass needs to be rapidly cooled to achieve the required physical and optical properties. This cooling process is essential for ensuring the quality, optical uniformity, and reducing internal stress of the optical glass. In early optical glass production, natural cooling was a common method, involving placing the molten glass in the air to cool naturally. However, this method resulted in extremely slow cooling, low production efficiency, and difficulty in controlling the cooling process, easily leading to significant internal stress in the glass and affecting its optical performance.

[0003] In the prior art, optical glass cooling equipment typically consists of a cooling box, a water cooling circulation system, a conveying mechanism, and a control system. The optical glass, which has been molten at high temperature, is conveyed into the interior of the cooling box through the conveying mechanism. The cooling system then starts working, carrying away heat through the circulation of coolant. The cooled glass is then removed from one end of the cooling box through the conveying mechanism.

[0004] However, some coolant will remain on the surface of the cooled optical glass. This coolant residue can easily cause water stains on the glass surface, which can corrode the glass during subsequent processing or storage, thus affecting the performance of the glass. Utility Model Content

They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling device for optical glass production, including a cooling device body 1. Multiple rotating rollers 19 are arranged on the surface of the cooling device body 1. Wing plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the cooling device body 1. Fixed plates 3 are inserted into the surfaces of the wing plates 2. Lower brushes 5 are rotatably connected between the surfaces of the fixed plates 3. Connecting plates 13 are slidably connected to the surfaces of the fixed plates 3. Upper brushes 4 are rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 13. A central column 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 13. A scraper 6 is slidably connected to the surface of the central column 15. The upper brush 4, lower brush 5, and scraper 6 are arranged at the outlet of the cooling device body 1, which can clean and scrape away tiny particles and residual coolant on the cooled glass surface, ensuring the cleanliness of the glass surface. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 10, connecting plate 13, and lifting plate 11, the distance between the upper brush 4 and lower brush 5 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the cleaning of glass of different thicknesses and improving the applicability and efficiency of the cleaning mechanism.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4Based on Embodiment 1, in order to adjust the distance between the upper brush 4 and the lower brush 5, a square groove is provided on the surface of the wing plate 2. The fixing plate 3 is snapped onto the surface of the wing plate 2. The fixing plate 3 and the groove on the surface of the wing plate 2 cooperate with each other, so that the fixing plate 3 can be easily removed and disassembled directly from the surface of the wing plate 2. The fixing plate 3 has a square plate structure. A shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing plate 3. The lower brush 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the shaft 8. The shaft 8 drives the lower brush 5 to rotate. A lifting groove 18 is provided on the surface of the fixing plate 3. The lifting groove 18 is a "T"-shaped groove. The lifting groove 18 limits the sliding range of the lifting plate 11. The lifting groove 18 is "T"-shaped, so that the lifting plate 11 can only move up and down. A lifting plate 11 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed plate 3. The lifting plate 11 has a "T"-shaped plate structure. A threaded groove 12 is opened on the surface of the lifting plate 11. An auxiliary rod 9 is slidably connected to the surface of one threaded groove 12. The auxiliary rod 9 has a cylindrical structure. The auxiliary rod 9 can provide additional support and constraint to the lead screw 10, reduce the shaking and tilting of the lifting plate 11, and make the lifting of the upper brush 4 more stable. The other threaded groove 12 is matched and connected to the lead screw 10. The threaded groove 12 and the threaded part on the surface of the lead screw 10 are mutually connected. The lead screw 10 extends to the top surface of the fixed plate 3 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 17. The handwheel 17 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustment of the position of the lifting component, reducing the cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Based on Embodiment 2, in order to clean the surface of the optical glass, the connecting plate 13 has a square plate structure and is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting plate 11. A roller is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 13, and the upper brush 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the roller. The central column 15 has a T-shaped circular plate structure. The central column 15 can limit the range of motion of the limiting plate 7. A spring 16 is sleeved on the surface of the central column 15. The central column 15 can evenly distribute the stress on the spring 16 to various parts of the spring 16 and provide a support point for the spring 16. One end of the spring 16 is fixed to the surface of the connecting plate 13. The surface of the scraper 6 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 7. The limiting plate 7 has a square plate structure and its length is greater than that of the scraper 6. Circular holes 14 are opened on both sides of the surface of the limiting plate 7. The central column 15 passes through the circular holes 14. The end of the spring 16 away from the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting plate 7.

[0028] In actual use, firstly, the two fixing plates 3 are snapped into the square grooves on the surface of the wing plate 2. Then, the handwheel 17 is rotated, causing the lead screw 10 to rotate. The lead screw 10 then moves the lifting plate 11 and connecting plate 13 vertically. The connecting plate 13 moves the upper brush 4 horizontally. The distance between the upper brush 4 and the lower brush 5 is adjusted according to the thickness of the optical glass to be cooled. The cooled optical glass is conveyed by the rotating roller 19, passing over the surfaces of the upper brush 4 and lower brush 5. Then, the limiting plate 7 is pulled upwards, causing the scraper 6 to move upwards. As the spring 16 moves, it changes from its original state to a stretched state. Then, the limiting plate 7 is released, and the spring 16 loses its tension and returns to its original state. This causes the limiting plate 7 and the scraper 6 to spring back downwards and come into contact with the optical glass surface. The upper brush 4, the lower brush 5, and the scraper 6 simultaneously clean and scrape away the residual coolant and tiny impurities on the optical glass surface, maintaining the cleanliness of the glass surface. After the cleaning mechanism is used, the two fixing plates 3 can be directly removed from the square grooves on the surface of the wing plate 2 for storage and disposal.
