Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass production, and more specifically, it relates to an electrically heated glass production reactor with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In glass production, the electrically heated reactor plays a crucial role. It utilizes electrical energy converted into heat energy to efficiently heat glass raw materials such as quartz sand and soda ash, bringing them to specific reaction temperatures. Equipped with an internal stirring device, it simultaneously stirs the materials during heating, promoting thorough mixing and ensuring uniform composition. Under high-temperature conditions, the raw materials undergo complex chemical reactions, gradually forming molten glass. Furthermore, a precise temperature control system allows for flexible temperature adjustment to meet the needs of different glass production processes, ensuring stable glass quality and significantly improving production efficiency and product quality. It is an indispensable piece of equipment in glass manufacturing.
[0003] Although existing electrically heated reactors can process glass, they typically contain glass blocks. During the reaction, due to their large size and irregular shape, these glass blocks tend to accumulate in the corners of the reactor and around the gaps between the agitator blades. After the reaction, some of these accumulated glass blocks adhere to the inner wall and internal components of the reactor. Especially when the glass blocks partially melt at high temperatures, they act like glue, binding together surrounding impurities and unreacted substances to form hard, difficult-to-clean scale. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an electrically heated glass production reactor with a cleaning mechanism. This solves the problem that existing technologies typically involve feeding glass blocks into the reactor. During the reaction, due to their large size and irregular shape, these glass blocks easily accumulate in the corners of the reactor and around the gaps between the agitator blades. After the reaction, some of these accumulated glass blocks adhere to the inner wall and internal components of the reactor. Especially when the glass blocks partially melt at high temperatures, they act like glue, adhering surrounding impurities and unreacted substances to form hard, difficult-to-clean scale, posing a significant cleaning challenge.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glass production electrically heated reactor with a cleaning mechanism, comprising a reactor body, a first motor installed in the reactor body, the output end of the first motor being rotatably connected to the reactor body, a stirring rod connected to the output end of the first motor, the stirring rod being placed inside the reactor body, a scraper connected to one end and the other end of the stirring rod, multiple sets of scrapers contacting the inner wall of the reactor body, a feed inlet connected to the reactor body, a sleeve connected to one end and the other end of the feed inlet, inserting rods into multiple sets of sleeves, a housing placed at the feed inlet, the housing being connected to two sets of inserting rods, two sets of second motors installed at one end of the housing, crushing rollers installed at the output ends of the two sets of second motors, the two sets of crushing rollers being rotatably connected to the housing, and a guide plate connected to one end and the other end of the inner wall of the housing.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a water injection pipe is connected to the vessel body, and one end of the water injection pipe is connected to an annular pipe inside the vessel body. The annular pipe is connected to the vessel body, and multiple sets of nozzles are installed in an annular array at the annular pipe. The spraying parts of the multiple sets of nozzles are all placed at an angle.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cover is connected to the vessel body, and an electric heating tube is installed between the cover and the vessel body. The electric heating tube is spiral-shaped.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a discharge port is connected to the vessel body at a location away from the first motor.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is connected to both one end and the other end of the housing.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, valve bodies are connected to one end and the other end of the cover, and the two sets of valve bodies are used for liquid injection and liquid drainage, respectively.
[0011] This utility model provides an electrically heated glass production reactor with a cleaning mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This new invention utilizes the cooperation between the feed inlet, shell, insert rod, sleeve, second motor, and crushing roller. When glass is injected into the reactor body through the shell and feed inlet, the glass blocks are crushed by the cooperation of the second motor and crushing roller. The crushed glass particles are less likely to accumulate or stick together inside the reactor. Compared to large pieces of glass, granular glass is easier to clean after the reaction. Whether by rinsing or using specialized cleaning tools, it can be easily removed from the reactor, greatly reducing the difficulty and workload of cleaning and improving the efficiency and lifespan of the reactor.
[0013] 2. Through the cooperation between the water injection pipe, the ring pipe and the nozzle, water is injected into the water injection pipe and then sprayed out from multiple nozzles, so that the water flow can be evenly sprayed into the interior of the vessel. When the stirring rod drives the pipe to clean the inner wall of the vessel, the flushing effect of the water flow can be fully utilized to effectively remove glass residue, dirt and other contaminants adhering to the inner wall of the vessel.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrically heated glass production reactor with a cleaning mechanism, comprising a reactor body 1. The reactor body 1, as the core load-bearing component of the entire reactor, is made of high-temperature resistant, high-strength, high-quality alloy steel. This material not only withstands the high-temperature environment during glass production, ensuring long-term stable operation, but also possesses excellent corrosion resistance, effectively extending the service life of the equipment. A first motor 2 is installed on the reactor body 1. The model of the first motor 2 is selected according to actual working requirements. The first motor 2 can be a high-torque, low-speed dedicated motor, capable of providing stable and powerful power output. Its output end is rotatably connected to the reactor body 1 through a high-precision bearing, ensuring smooth rotation and low noise. This connection method not only reduces energy loss but also improves the working efficiency and reliability of the motor. The output end of the first motor 2 is rotatably connected to the vessel body 1. The output end of the first motor 2 is connected to a stirring rod 3. The stirring rod 3 is usually made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The stirring rod 3 is placed inside the vessel body 1. One end and the other end of the stirring rod 3 are connected to scrapers 16. The scrapers 16 are made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant rubber or polyurethane material, which can effectively scrape off glass residue and dirt adhering to the inner wall of the vessel body 1 without damaging the inner wall of the vessel body 1. During the glass production process, the stirring rod 3 rotates at high speed under the drive of the first motor 2. This not only ensures thorough mixing of the glass raw materials and promotes the chemical reaction, but also, during the cleaning process, works with the scraper 16 to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the vessel body 1. Multiple sets of scrapers 16 are in contact with the inner wall of the vessel body 1. The vessel body 1 is connected to a feed inlet 4, and a sleeve 7 is connected to one end of the feed inlet 4. Insert rods 6 are inserted into multiple sets of sleeves 7. A housing 5 is placed at the feed inlet 4, and the housing 5 is connected to two sets of insert rods 6, facilitating the installation and removal of the housing 5 placed at the feed inlet 4. Two sets of second motors 8 are installed at one end of the housing 5. The second motors 8 are high-speed, small-volume special motors that can provide sufficient power to the crushing rollers 9. The model is selected according to actual needs. Crushing rollers 9 are installed at the output ends of the two sets of second motors 8, and the two sets of crushing rollers 9 are rotatably connected to the housing 5. A guide plate 10 is connected to one end of the inner wall of the housing 5, and the guide plate 10 is used to guide the glass between the two sets of crushing rollers 9.
[0023] The reactor body 1 is connected to a water injection pipe 11, which can be made of corrosion-resistant plastic or metal. One end of the water injection pipe 11 extends into the reactor body 1 and is connected to an annular pipe 12. The annular pipe 12 is connected to the reactor body 1, and multiple sets of nozzles 13 are installed in a circular array at the annular pipe 12. The spraying parts of the multiple sets of nozzles 13 are all placed at an angle. This design allows water to be evenly sprayed into the interior of the reactor body 1 through the multiple sets of nozzles 13 after being injected into the annular pipe 12, forming a comprehensive flushing area. When cleaning the reactor, the water injection pipe 11 is connected to an external water source. After the water source is turned on, water is sprayed out from the nozzles 13. In conjunction with the rotation of the scraper 16 driven by the stirring rod 3, the flushing effect of the water flow can be fully utilized to effectively remove glass residue, dirt, and other contaminants adhering to the inner wall of the reactor body 1, the stirring rod 3, and other internal components.
[0024] The vessel body 1 is connected to a cover 14, which is made of high-temperature resistant and heat-insulating materials such as ceramic fiber or rock wool. An electric heating tube 15 is installed between the cover 14 and the vessel body 1. The electric heating tube 15 is spiral-shaped; this spiral design increases the contact area between the electric heating tube 15 and the vessel body 1, improving heating efficiency and ensuring uniform heating inside the vessel body 1. The electric heating tube 15 is made of high-performance heating alloy wire, offering advantages such as high heating efficiency and long service life. During glass production, activating the electric heating tube 15 rapidly converts electrical energy into heat energy, providing the necessary high-temperature environment for the reaction of the glass raw materials.
[0025] The vessel body 1 is connected to a discharge port 17 located away from the first motor 2. The discharge port 17 employs a special valve control structure, which can precisely control the discharge speed and flow rate of the molten glass according to production needs. The internal channel of the discharge port 17 is polished, resulting in a smooth surface, which reduces the resistance of the molten glass during the discharge process and ensures smooth discharge.
[0026] The housing 5 is equipped with handles 18 at one end and the other end. The handles 18 are made of ergonomically designed plastic or metal materials, which makes it convenient for operators to move the housing 5 during installation and disassembly, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.
[0027] The enclosure 14 is equipped with valve bodies 19 at both ends. These two sets of valve bodies 19 are used for liquid injection and drainage, respectively. The valve bodies 19 are made of high-precision stainless steel, offering excellent sealing and corrosion resistance. During glass production, heat transfer oil or other cooling media can be injected into the space between the enclosure 14 and the reactor body 1 via the injection valve body 19 to control the reactor temperature. During cleaning or maintenance, the liquid inside the enclosure 14 can be drained via the drainage valve body 19, facilitating subsequent operations.
[0028] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0029] In use, the second motor 8 is operated to rotate the two sets of crushing rollers 9. When glass or other materials are fed into the shell 5, they are crushed by the two sets of crushing rollers 9 to reduce their volume and flow into the vessel body 1 through the feed inlet 4. At this time, the electric heating tube 15 can be operated to heat the inside of the vessel body 1. Simultaneously, the first motor 2 is operated to drive the stirring rod 3 to rotate, thus processing the glass. After the work is completed, the glass is discharged at the discharge port 17. When cleaning is required, the water injection pipe 11 is connected to an external water pipe, so that water can be evenly sprayed into the inside of the vessel body 1 through multiple nozzles 13. With the stirring rod 3 driving the scraper 16 to rotate, the inside of the vessel body 1 can be cleaned.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
