Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass production technology, and specifically relates to a novel cooling device for the material shovel of a kiln feeder. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing process, a blanket feeder is used to push various raw materials into the furnace at a uniform and stable speed. The feeder's shovel moves periodically back and forth via bottom pulleys. During normal production operation, the temperature of the glass furnace is generally above 1500℃. Although the furnace body is insulated, the enormous heat inside the furnace is still continuously transferred to the surrounding environment through radiation and convection, resulting in a consistently high ambient temperature around the furnace. For example, the internal temperature of a borosilicate pharmaceutical glass furnace can reach over 1580℃, while the ambient temperature around the furnace is around 200-400℃.

[0003] In this environment, the feeder and its components, which operate close to the glass kiln for extended periods, are highly susceptible to shortened lifespans or even damage due to high temperatures. The bottom pulley of the feeder shovel, located at the bottom of the shovel, is the part of the feeder closest to the kiln. During production, malfunctions such as pulley malfunction due to high temperatures frequently occur. Furthermore, the area near the shovel is a high-dust environment, and the accumulation of dust over long periods affects pulley movement. If the shovel pulley remains stationary for an extended period, it will continuously rub against the shovel, causing damage and compromising equipment safety.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the cooling and protection device of the bottom pulley of the feeder shovel in the glass furnace to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a novel cooling device for the material shovel of a kiln feeder, which prevents the bottom pulley of the shovel from deforming due to excessively high temperatures.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A novel material shovel cooling device for a kiln feeder includes a transmission system and a cooling system. The transmission system includes a power wheel and a pulley connected to the material shovel. The pulley and the power wheel are rotatably connected by an eccentric shaft mounted on the power wheel. The pulley and the material shovel are connected by a connecting rod.

[0008] The power wheel is mounted on the feeding machine platform and rotates under the action of the drive device, driving the shovel to reciprocate via a pulley.

[0009] The shovel pulleys, which support the bottom of the shovel, are extended and fixed to the front end of the feeder platform.

[0010] The cooling system includes a cooling pipe with cooling holes and a conveying pipe connected to it for cooling. The cooling pipe is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the material shovel pulley, and the openings of the cooling holes face the material shovel pulley.

[0011] A valve is also installed on the cooling pipe near the delivery pipe.

[0012] One end of the connecting rod is fixed to the shovel, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pulley.

[0013] The cooling holes are spaced apart in multiples.

[0014] The axial length of the cooling pipe is not less than the axial length of the shovel pulley.

[0015] The valve is equipped with a flange and is connected to the cooling pipes and conveying pipes on both sides through the flanges on both sides respectively.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) The material shovel cooling device of the new kiln feeder has a cooling system installed at the front end of the transmission system. Compressed air is input through the conveying pipe and then sprayed out from the cooling pipe with cooling holes to continuously cool the material shovel pulley. This can slow down the speed at which the material shovel pulley is corroded by high temperature and dust, and at the same time extend the service life of the equipment. It can also prevent the material shovel pulley from deforming due to high temperature or dust corrosion, which would cause the feeder to stop for maintenance and affect the kiln. This solves the problem of equipment failure caused by high temperature and high temperature deformation of the bottom pulley of the material shovel.

[0018] (2) The cooling system can protect the bottom pulley of the shovel and extend its service life.

[0019] (3) The cooling system has a simple structure, is a purely mechanical structure, has no electric device involved, is easy to maintain and replace, and uses standard parts, making it highly replaceable.

[0020] (4) Low cost: The raw materials and materials used are relatively cheap in the industry, which can reduce costs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0026] This utility model provides a novel cooling device for the material shovel of a kiln feeder, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0027] A novel cooling device for a kiln feeder shovel includes a transmission system and a cooling system. The transmission system includes a power wheel 6 and a pulley 9 connected to the shovel 2. The pulley 9 and the power wheel 6 are rotatably connected via an eccentric shaft mounted on the power wheel 6. The pulley 9 and the shovel 2 are connected via a connecting rod 8. The power wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on the feeder platform 1 and rotates under the action of a drive device, driving the shovel 2 to reciprocate via the pulley 9. A shovel pulley 21 for supporting the bottom of the shovel extends and is fixedly mounted at the front end of the feeder platform 1. In this embodiment, a connecting rod 8 is also provided between the pulley 9 and the shovel 2, with one end rotatably connected to the pulley 9 and the other end fixedly connected to the shovel 2.

[0028] The cooling system includes a cooling pipe 3 with cooling holes and a conveying pipe 4 connected to it for cooling. The cooling pipe 3 is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the material shovel pulley, and the openings of the cooling holes face the material shovel pulley 7.

[0029] A valve 5 is also provided on the cooling pipe 3 near the conveying pipe 4.

[0030] The cooling holes are spaced apart in multiple places. In order to ensure that the material shovel pulley 7 is sufficiently cooled, the axial length of the cooling pipe 3 is not less than the axial length of the material shovel pulley 7, and the cooling holes can cool it comprehensively.

[0031] The valve 5 is equipped with a flange and is connected to the cooling pipe 3 and the conveying pipe 4 on both sides through the flanges on both sides respectively.

[0032] When in use, open valve 5, and compressed air is input through conveying pipe 4 and then sprayed out through valve 5 from cooling pipe 3 with cooling holes. This can cool down the material shovel pulley 7, slow down the rate at which the material shovel pulley 7 is corroded by high temperature and dust, extend the service life of the equipment, and avoid failure caused by high temperature deformation or dust corrosion of the material shovel pulley, which would cause the feeder to stop for maintenance and affect the kiln.
