Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production technology, specifically to a hanging device for a linear motor in a tin bath of a float glass production line. Background Technology
[0002] Float glass is a type of glass produced by the glass industry to improve the flatness of finished glass sheets. It is formed by high-temperature molten glass passing through the molten tin bath of the float glass production line, resulting in a high degree of flatness. The T-shaped tin bath linear motor is the main power unit in this process.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the hanging device for a linear motor of a tin bath in a float glass production line (publication number CN213202817U), a glass tin bath is provided. A linear motor is installed on one side of the glass tin bath. A dust removal ear is installed below the linear motor. A fixing block is installed at the left end of the linear motor. A support plate is installed below the fixing block. A rotating screw is installed inside the support plate. A driven bevel gear is installed at the left end of the rotating screw.
[0004] By rotating the lead screw and the support plate, the linear motor of the solder bath is mechanically pulled out. However, after reviewing the technical solution, it is found that after the linear motor is pulled out, it is directly cooled by a liquid pump. Considering the head-heavy nature of the linear motor, the water sprayed by the pump will first contact the tail and then spray the head. This results in uneven cooling between the head and tail of the linear motor. Consequently, even after the linear motor is cooled, it is still dangerous for personnel to touch the head. Therefore, the cooling area should be changed to make the cooling coverage of the linear motor larger and reduce the danger of heat contact. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a hanging device for a linear motor of a tin bath in a float glass production line, which can effectively solve the problem of uneven cooling at the head and tail of the linear motor of the tin bath in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a hanging device for a linear motor of a tin bath in a float glass production line, including a water tank, a bracket snapped onto the side of the water tank, and a suspension component and a rapid cooling component in cooperation with the bracket;
[0008] The suspension assembly includes a suspension screw, a mounting base threaded onto the surface of the suspension screw, a linear motor snapped onto the surface of the mounting base, an adapter plate fitted to the bottom of the linear motor, the adapter plate mounted on the inner side of the bracket, and a stabilizing component fitted onto the suspension screw. A drive screw is fixedly connected to the suspension screw via a coupling. An active bevel gear is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the drive screw, the teeth of which mesh with a driven bevel gear. The driven bevel gear is rotatably fitted onto a connecting base via a horizontal shaft. A oscillating spur gear is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the horizontal shaft, and a rotary impeller is located beside the oscillating spur gear. The threads of the suspension screw and the drive screw rotate in opposite directions.
[0009] Furthermore, the impeller is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal shaft, and there are several impellers, which are arranged at equal intervals.
[0010] Furthermore, the oscillating spur gear is coupled with a tilting water spray component, which includes an oscillating toothed seat that meshes with the oscillating spur gear. The top of the oscillating toothed seat is rotatably coupled with an adapter shaft, and an inclined plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adapter shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, the suspension assembly also includes a transmission belt component, and there are two suspension screws. The transmission belt component is sleeved on the surface of the suspension screws for uniform speed transmission of the two suspension screws.
[0012] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes a drive source, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a drive screw, and a cooling rack is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the drive screw, with a plug rod fixedly connected to the side of the cooling rack.
[0013] Furthermore, a push cylinder is adapted to be installed on the top of the cooling rack, and a clamping plate is engaged with the end face of the push cylinder. The corner of the clamping plate is slidably mounted on the surface of the plug rod.
[0014] Furthermore, a circumferential connecting rod is hinged between the two clamping plates, and a conical disk is rotatably connected to the middle of the circumferential connecting rod. The conical disk is rotatably sleeved on the side of the cooling rack.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the inclined plate maintains a distance from the top of the impeller.
[0016] Beneficial effects
[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0018] First, a water tank is installed on the side of the bracket, allowing the linear motor to achieve comprehensive cooling after suspension. The mounting seat is threaded onto the surface of the suspension screw, enabling the mounting seat to move along its outer surface after the screw rotates, thus vertically suspending the linear motor and achieving its suspension function. Furthermore, an adapter plate is installed on the inner side of the bracket to limit the linear motor's movement and reduce swaying caused by its top-heavy design. The suspension screw and drive screw are coaxially connected, ensuring they have the same rotational force, facilitating direct cooling of the suspended linear motor and preventing operational jamming. Active bevel gears are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drive screw, allowing them to rotate synchronously with the drive screw and mesh with driven bevel gears. The driven bevel gears also rotate, ultimately ensuring the impeller and driven bevel gears rotate at the same speed. The impeller creates water spray inside the water tank, achieving a wide water flow coverage for the linear motor.
[0019] Second, through the meshing of the oscillating gear and the oscillating tooth seat, the oscillating tooth seat can oscillate intermittently. The adapting shaft drives the inclined plate to perform a pendulum motion. The inclined plate first tilts to draw in the water flow, then swings to the highest point and pauses briefly before swinging downwards. During this process, the water flow is affected by inertia and will continue to splash upwards, achieving comprehensive cooling of the linear motor. This solves the problem of uneven cooling at the head and tail of the linear motor, and also solves the problem of burns during installation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0029] See attached document Figure 1-5 A hanging device for a linear motor in a tin bath of a float glass production line includes a water tank 1, a bracket 2 attached to the side of the water tank 1, and a suspension assembly 3 and a rapid cooling assembly 5 in cooperation with the bracket 2.
[0030] The suspension assembly 3 includes a suspension screw 31, a mounting base 32 threadedly connected to the surface of the suspension screw 31, a linear motor 33 snapped onto the surface of the mounting base 32, an adapter plate 34 fitted to the bottom of the linear motor 33, the adapter plate 34 mounted on the inner side of the bracket 2, and a stabilizing assembly 4 fitted to the suspension screw 31. The suspension screw 31 is fixedly connected to a drive screw 41 via a coupling. An active bevel gear 51 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the drive screw 41, and the teeth of the active bevel gear 51 mesh with a driven bevel gear 52. The driven bevel gear 52 is rotatably fitted with a connecting base 53 via a horizontal shaft. A swing spur gear 531 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the horizontal shaft, and a rotary impeller 54 is provided on the side of the swing spur gear 531. The threads of the suspension screw 31 and the drive screw 41 are opposite in direction.
[0031] First, a water tank 1 is installed on the side of the bracket 2, allowing the linear motor 33 to obtain comprehensive cooling after suspension. The mounting base 32 is threaded onto the surface of the suspension screw 31, enabling the mounting base 32 to move along the outer surface of the suspension screw 31 after the suspension screw 31 rotates, thereby vertically suspending the linear motor 33 and realizing its suspension function. Furthermore, an adapter plate 34 is provided on the inner side of the bracket 2 to limit the movement of the linear motor 33 and reduce swaying caused by its top-heavy design. The suspension screw 31 and the drive screw 41 are coaxially connected, and the two have the same rotational force. This allows the linear motor 33 to be directly cooled after suspension, avoiding any jamming. The active bevel gear 51 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drive screw 41, so that the active bevel gear 51 rotates synchronously with the drive screw 41. It then meshes with the driven bevel gear 52, which also rotates. Ultimately, the rotational speed of the impeller 54 is kept consistent with that of the driven bevel gear 52. The impeller 54 creates water splashes inside the water tank 1, achieving a wide water flow coverage for the linear motor 33.
[0032] The impeller 54 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal shaft. There are several impellers 54, and the several impellers 54 are distributed in an equidistant arrangement.
[0033] The arrangement of several impellers 54 can accelerate the splashing speed of the water flow, thereby increasing the cooling speed of the linear motor 33.
[0034] The oscillating spur gear 531 is fitted with a tilting water spray component 55. The tilting water spray component 55 includes an oscillating tooth seat 551 that meshes with the oscillating spur gear 531. The top of the oscillating tooth seat 551 is rotatably fitted with an adapter shaft 552. An inclined plate 553 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adapter shaft 552.
[0035] The meshing of the oscillating gear 531 and the oscillating tooth seat 551 allows the oscillating tooth seat 551 to oscillate intermittently. The adapter shaft 552 drives the inclined plate 553 to perform a pendulum motion. The inclined plate 553 first tilts to draw in water flow, then swings to the highest point and pauses briefly before swinging downwards. During this process, the water flow is affected by inertia and continues to splash upwards, achieving comprehensive cooling of the linear motor 33. This solves the problem of uneven cooling at the head and tail of the linear motor 33, and also solves the problem of burns during installation.
[0036] The suspension assembly 3 also includes a transmission belt 311. There are two suspension screws 31. The transmission belt 311 is sleeved on the surface of the suspension screws 31 for uniform speed transmission of the two suspension screws 31.
[0037] By connecting the transmission belt component 311, the rotation speed of the suspension screw 31 is made the same, thereby ensuring that the suspension of the linear motor 33 is more stable.
[0038] The stabilizing component 4 includes a drive source 42, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a drive screw 41, and a cooling rack 43 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the drive screw 41. A plug rod 46 is fixedly connected to the side of the cooling rack 43.
[0039] A drive source 42 is installed on the end face of the drive screw 41 so that the drive screw 41 can obtain rotational power. A cooling rack 43 is installed on the surface of the drive screw 41 so that the linear motor 33 can be suspended and stably placed inside the cooling rack 43, thereby achieving comprehensive cooling of the linear motor 33.
[0040] A push cylinder 44 is fitted on the top of the cooling rack 43. A clamping plate 45 is engaged with the end face of the push cylinder 44. The corner of the clamping plate 45 is slidably mounted on the surface of the plug rod 46. A rotating connecting rod 47 is hinged between the two clamping plates 45. A conical disk 48 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating connecting rod 47. The conical disk 48 is rotatably sleeved on the side of the cooling rack 43.
[0041] The push cylinder 44 is connected to the clamping plate 45, allowing the clamping plate 45 to slide along the surface of the plug rod 46, thereby achieving a stable internal clamping of the linear motor 33 and indirectly allowing the cooling water flow to cover more comprehensively.
[0042] The bottom of the inclined plate 553 is kept at a distance from the top of the impeller 54.
[0043] Maintaining a distance between the inclined plate 553 and the impeller 54 allows the water spray cooling and splash cooling to be independent of each other, which is beneficial for enhancing the cooling effect on the linear motor 33.
[0044] Working principle: First, the drive source 42 is started, which drives the drive screw 41 and the suspension screw 31 to rotate synchronously. Then, the placement seat 32 is displaced on the surface of the suspension screw 31, so that the placement seat 32 is close to the linear motor 33 and supports the linear motor 33. Then, the linear motor 33 completes the suspension displacement.
[0045] Then, the drive screw 41 drives the cooling rack 43 to move vertically, and the push cylinder 44 is activated. The push cylinder 44 pushes the clamping plate 45 to slide along the surface of the plug rod 46. After the linear motor 33 falls, the clamping plate 45 and the side of the linear motor 44 are stably supported for subsequent covering and cooling.
[0046] Following the above, the drive screw 41 will drive the active bevel gear 51 to rotate synchronously. After the driven bevel gear 52 meshes with the active bevel gear 51, it will drive the impeller 54 to rotate at high speed, thereby causing the water in the water tank 1 to splash rapidly (the water tank 1 is pre-filled with water), achieving rapid cooling of the linear motor 33. In addition, under the meshing action of the driven bevel gear 52, the oscillating spur gear 531 drives the oscillating gear seat 551 and the inclined plate 553 to perform pendulum motion, achieving the splashing cooling effect of the linear motor 33.
[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
