A glass edge cooling device

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of float glass production technology and discloses a glass edge cooling device. The device includes a frame, with a drive motor fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame. A conveying roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a cooling component is installed on the top of the conveying roller. During use, if the glass body experiences swaying (i.e., the glass edge moves laterally), the device drives a servo motor based on the edge information. This, through the rotation of a lead screw, moves a trolley to a new working position. The rolling and wiping motion ensures that the chamois roller always maintains a cold, wet, and uniformly warm surface in contact with the glass, reducing the risk of edge cracking or micro-cracks caused by uneven thermal stress. When the cooling water in the chamois roller decreases, water from the sponge block is drawn into the chamois roller through capillary action, achieving continuous and uniform water supply, resulting in more stable cooling and less edge stress.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Float glass production is a modern continuous production process. Molten glass is drawn from a furnace and smoothly poured into a tin bath filled with molten tin. Under the action of gravity and surface tension, the molten glass spreads naturally on the tin surface, forming a glass ribbon with high flatness and uniform thickness. It then enters an annealing furnace for gradual cooling to eliminate stress and is finally cut into the required size.

[0003] However, during the production of float glass, due to the inconsistent thickness between the edge and the middle of the glass strip, the stress at the edge of the annealed glass does not meet the requirements for normal glass cutting. This can easily lead to problems such as the edge not following the cutting edge or edge breakage during later cutting, affecting the cutting quality. In view of this, we propose a glass edge cooling device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass edge cooling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glass edge cooling device, comprising a frame, a drive motor fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame, a conveying roller fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a cooling assembly disposed on the top of the conveying roller, the cooling assembly comprising:

[0006] The frame has a main beam fixedly connected to its top end face, a servo motor fixedly connected to the side wall of the main beam, and a moving lead screw provided on the side wall of the servo motor.

[0007] A mobile trolley, wherein a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the mobile trolley, a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the side wall of the connecting rod, and a deerskin roller is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve;

[0008] A flow regulating mechanism, wherein a hard water pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the flow regulating mechanism, and a sponge block is sleeved on the end face of the hard water pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the top end face of the conveying roller is movably connected to the glass body, and the frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the machine frame.

[0010] Preferably, the movable lead screw is connected to the movable trolley via a ball bearing drive located inside the movable trolley, and a limit rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the main beam, the limit rod being connected to the movable trolley via a drive mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the rotating sleeve is provided with through holes, and the number of through holes is set in several groups, with the several groups of through holes being equally spaced on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the flow regulating mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mobile trolley, and the input end of the flow regulating mechanism is fixedly connected to a soft water pipe. The water supply can be changed by adjusting the flow regulating mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of the deerskin roller is provided with transverse grooves, and the number of transverse grooves is set in several groups, with the several groups of transverse grooves being arranged at equal intervals.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a glass edge cooling device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This glass edge cooling device, through its cooling components, can drive a servo motor to move a trolley to a new working position if the glass body swings during use (i.e., the glass edge moves laterally) based on the glass edge information. The servo motor, through the rotation of the moving screw, ensures that the chamois surface is always cold, wet, and at a uniform temperature in contact with the glass, reducing the risk of edge cracking or micro-cracks caused by uneven thermal stress. When the cooling water in the chamois roller decreases, water from the sponge block is drawn into the chamois roller through capillary action, achieving continuous and uniform water supply, resulting in more stable cooling and less edge stress.

[0017] 2. The glass edge cooling device uses horizontal grooves to steadily transfer water to the glass surface, forming a regular wetting zone. This prolongs the contact time between water and glass, ensuring that the deerskin maintains a certain moisture content when in contact with the glass, thus enhancing the cooling effect and reducing edge thermal stress.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a glass edge cooling device, including a frame 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 1, a conveying roller 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, a glass body 4 movably connected to the top end face of the conveying roller 3, and a cooling component 5 provided on the top of the conveying roller 3. The cooling component 5 includes a frame 501, a main beam 502, a servo motor 503, a moving lead screw 504, a moving trolley 505, a connecting rod 506, a rotating sleeve 507, a through hole 508, a chamois roller 509, a flow regulating mechanism 510, a hard water pipe 511, and a sponge block 512.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the frame 501 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 1, the top end face of the frame 501 is fixedly connected to the main beam 502, the side wall of the main beam 502 is fixedly connected to the servo motor 503, and the output end of the servo motor 503 is fixedly connected to the moving lead screw 504.

[0024] The movable lead screw 504 and the movable trolley 505 are connected by a ball drive inside the movable trolley 505. The side wall of the main beam 502 is fixedly connected to a limit rod 7, which is connected to the movable trolley 505. The bottom end face of the movable trolley 505 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 506. The bottom end of the side wall of the connecting rod 506 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 507. The outer wall of the rotating sleeve 507 is fixedly connected to a chamois roller 509. The side wall of the rotating sleeve 507 is provided with through holes 508. Several sets of through holes 508 are provided, and the several sets of through holes 508 are equally spaced on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 507.

[0025] The flow regulating mechanism 510 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mobile trolley 505. The output end of the flow regulating mechanism 510 is fixedly connected to a hard water pipe 511. A sponge block 512 is sleeved on the end face of the hard water pipe 511. The sponge block 512 is inserted into the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 507. The outer diameter of the sponge block 512 is larger than the inner diameter of the rotating sleeve 507. The sponge block 512 then fills the through hole 508 on the rotating sleeve 507. The input end of the flow regulating mechanism 510 is fixedly connected to a soft water pipe 6. The water supply is changed by adjusting the flow regulating mechanism 510.

[0026] The glass body 4 is placed on the conveyor roller 3. The drive motor 2 drives the conveyor roller 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the glass body 4 to move. The servo motor 503 drives the moving screw 504 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving carriage 505 to move laterally, so that the chamois roller 509 moves to the edge of the glass body 4. If the glass body 4 swings during use, that is, the edge of the glass moves laterally, the servo motor 503 is driven according to the glass edge information, and the moving screw 504 drives the moving carriage 505 to a new working position.

[0027] The movement of the glass body 4 drives the chamois roller 509 to rotate. The cooling water inside the chamois roller 509 is evenly applied to the edge of the glass body 4, which can prevent the chamois from heating up in a certain position when in contact with the glass body 4 for a long time. The rolling and wiping ensures that the chamois surface is always cold, wet and at a uniform temperature in contact with the glass, reducing the risk of edge cracking or micro-cracks caused by uneven thermal stress. The cooling water enters the sponge block 512 through the flow regulation mechanism 510 and the hard water pipe 511. When the cooling water in the chamois roller 509 decreases, the water in the sponge block 512 is drawn into the chamois roller 509 through capillary action, achieving continuous and uniform water supply, more stable cooling and less edge stress.

[0028] In addition, the outer wall of the deerskin roller 509 is provided with transverse grooves 8. The number of transverse grooves 8 is set in several groups, and the groups of transverse grooves 8 are set at equal intervals. The transverse grooves 8 play the role of storing and guiding water. Water is stably transferred to the glass surface through these grooves, forming a regular wetting zone, prolonging the contact time between water and glass, so that the deerskin always maintains a certain moisture content when in contact with the glass, enhancing the cooling effect and reducing edge thermal stress.

[0029] In this invention, during use, the glass body 4 is placed on the conveying roller 3, the drive motor 2 drives the conveying roller 3 to rotate, thereby causing the glass body 4 to move. The servo motor 503 drives the moving screw 504 to rotate, thereby causing the moving trolley 505 to move laterally, so that the chamois roller 509 moves to the edge of the glass body 4. The movement of the glass body 4 causes the chamois roller 509 to rotate. The cooling water in the chamois roller 509 is evenly coated on the edge of the glass body 4, which can prevent the chamois from heating up in a certain position when in contact with the glass body 4 for a long time. The rolling and wiping keeps the chamois surface in contact with the glass at a cold, wet, and uniform temperature. The cooling water enters the sponge block 512 through the flow regulating mechanism 510 and the hard water pipe 511. When the cooling water in the chamois roller 509 decreases, the water in the sponge block 512 is drawn into the chamois roller 509 through capillary action, so as to achieve continuous and uniform water supply.

[0030] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
