Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a support and protection mechanism, specifically a stirrer pipe support and protection mechanism, belonging to the field of glass stirrer pipe support technology. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature glass production typically refers to a process where, due to the special composition of the glass formula, one or more of the three processes—melting, clarifying, and homogenizing—reach a maximum temperature of 1500℃ or higher during the production of molten glass. In the production process of high-temperature glass, the homogenization process plays a crucial role in eliminating uneven components in the molten glass and improving the optical properties of the glass products. It is extremely important for producing high-quality glass products. During the melting process, stirrers are often used for forced stirring and homogenization to improve the homogenization quality of the molten glass.

[0003] However, during use, the water inlet and outlet pipes of the mixer often wear down with the ground. Once the rubber pipes are worn through and leaks occur, the temperature of the mixer may become too high, which may seriously affect production safety. Therefore, this utility model provides a mixer pipe support and protection mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mixer pipe support and protection mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems, so as to solve the problem that the inlet and outlet water pipes of the mixer are worn with the ground in the prior art. Once the rubber pipe is worn through and water leakage occurs, it may cause the mixer temperature to be too high, which may seriously affect production safety.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a stirrer pipe support and protection mechanism, including a fixed mechanism and a movable support mechanism. The movable support mechanism includes a support base. The fixed mechanism is installed on a lower fixed block on the top of the support base. An upper fixed block is installed on the top of the lower fixed block. V-shaped clamping grooves are opened on one side of the lower fixed block and the upper fixed block. The movable support mechanism also includes four sets of fixed seats fixed at the four corners of the bottom wall of the support base. Rotation through grooves are opened at the four corners of the bottom of the support base. A swing rod is rotatably connected between each set of fixed seats. A universal wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of each swing rod. The support base is provided with a drive mechanism that drives the two sets of swing rods to flip inside the support base.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the upper fixing block and one end of the lower fixing block are hinged together by a hinge, and the inner walls of the two V-shaped clamping grooves are fixedly connected with anti-slip pads, which reduce the wear of the V-shaped clamping grooves on the outer surface of the pipe under the action of the anti-slip pads.

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the upper fixing block and the other end of the lower fixing block are both fixedly connected to a connecting piece, and the two connecting pieces are detachably connected by bolts. By removing the bolts between the two connecting pieces, the upper fixing block can be flipped open on top of the lower fixing block.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes two sliding rods that slide inside the support base. Both inner sidewalls of the support base are provided with connecting grooves. The two ends of the sliding rods slide between the two connecting grooves respectively. The top of the swing rod is hinged to a connecting pull rod, and the other end of the connecting pull rod is hinged to the sliding rod. By driving the two sliding rods to move closer to each other, the two sets of swing rods are pulled into the support base and flipped under the connecting action of the connecting pull rod.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism further includes a bidirectional screw that rotates inside the support base, and both sliding rods are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw. By driving the bidirectional screw to rotate, the two sliding rods move closer to or further away from each other inside the support base.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the support base is rotatably connected to a mounting base, and the bottom of the lower fixed block is fixedly connected to a hinge block. The hinge block is hinged to the top of the mounting base. Under the action of the mounting base and the hinge block, the pipe installed between the lower fixed block and the upper fixed block can be adjusted slightly.

[0011] Preferably, each set of fixed seats has a stop bar fixedly connected to its top, which restricts the fixed seat from flipping outwards.

[0012] This utility model provides a stirrer pipe support and protection mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This device clamps and fixes the pipe by placing it between the V-shaped grooves of the lower and upper fixed blocks. The movable support mechanism supports the pipe, reducing friction between the pipe and the ground and protecting the pipe. This greatly reduces wear and tear and prevents production safety accidents. The drive mechanism drives two sets of swing rods to flip inward, causing the two sets of universal wheels to retract to the sides of the support base. The support base provides support from the bottom, improving the stability of the device during placement.

[0014] 2. The device drives two sliding rods away from each other by rotating a bidirectional screw. Under the connection of the connecting rod, it pushes two sets of swing rods to rotate towards the rotating slot, rotating the casters from the side of the support base to the bottom of the support base. The casters support the entire device, making it easy to move and transport. Attached Figure Description

[0020] This utility model provides a stirrer pipe support and protection mechanism.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A stirrer pipe support and protection mechanism includes a fixing mechanism and a movable support mechanism. The movable support mechanism includes a support base 1. The fixing mechanism is installed on a lower fixing block 3 on the top of the support base 1. An upper fixing block 4 is installed on the top of the lower fixing block 3. V-shaped clamping grooves are opened on one side of the lower fixing block 3 and the upper fixing block 4. One end of the upper fixing block 4 and one end of the lower fixing block 3 are hinged together by a hinge. Anti-slip pads 5 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two V-shaped clamping grooves. The stirrer pipe is placed in the V-shaped clamping groove inside the lower fixing block 3. Then, the anti-slip pads 5 are flipped over to clamp the pipe between the two V-shaped clamping grooves. The anti-slip pads 5 reduce the wear between the pipes caused by the V-shaped clamping grooves.

[0022] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The top of the support base 1 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 2, and the bottom of the lower fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the hinge block. The hinge block is hinged to the top of the mounting base 2. Under the action of the mounting base 2 and the hinge block, the lower fixing block 3 rotates and swings slightly on the support base 1, so that the pipe clamped between the lower fixing block 3 and the upper fixing block 4 can be finely adjusted.

[0023] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The other end of the upper fixing block 4 and the other end of the lower fixing block 3 are both fixedly connected with connecting plates. The two connecting plates are detachably connected by bolts. When the anti-slip pad 5 is flipped to the top of the lower fixing block 3 to clamp the pipe, the bolts are installed on the two connecting plates to connect them, so that the pipe is firmly clamped between the lower fixing block 3 and the upper fixing block 4.

[0024] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The mobile support mechanism also includes four sets of fixed seats 6 fixed at the four corners of the bottom wall of the support base 1. Rotation slots 11 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the support base 1. A swing rod 7 is rotatably connected between each set of fixed seats 6. A universal wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each swing rod 7. A stop bar is fixedly connected to the top of each set of fixed seats 6. The rotation slot 11 is L-shaped. The fixed seats 6 support the swing rod 7 to rotate inside the rotation slot 11. The stop bar restricts the swing rod 7 from flipping outward through the rotation slot 11. The universal wheel 8 supports the bottom of the device to facilitate the movement and transportation of the device.

[0025] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support base 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism that drives two sets of swing rods 7 to rotate inside the support base 1. The drive mechanism includes two sliding rods 9 that slide inside the support base 1. Both inner side walls of the support base 1 are provided with connecting grooves. The two ends of the sliding rods 9 slide between the two connecting grooves respectively. The top of the swing rod 7 is hinged to a connecting pull rod 91. The other end of the connecting pull rod 91 is hinged to the sliding rod 9. By controlling the two sliding rods 9 to move closer or further away from each other, one end of the swing rod 7 is pulled under the connecting action of the connecting pull rod 91, so that the swing rod 7 rotates around the pivot between the two fixed seats 6, so that the caster wheel 8 rotates from the bottom of the support base 1 to the side of the support base 1, so that the bottom of the support base 1 supports the device.

[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive mechanism also includes a bidirectional screw 92 that rotates inside the support base 1. Both sliding rods 9 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 92. The bidirectional screw 92 is a screw with two external threads, and the threads of the two external threads are opposite in direction. By rotating the bidirectional screw 92, the two sliding rods 9 can be brought closer to each other or moved away from each other. One end of the bidirectional screw 92 is fixedly connected to a handwheel that drives the bidirectional screw 92 to rotate.

[0027] Working principle: By removing the bolts between the two connecting pieces, flipping open the upper fixing block 4, the pipe is placed in the V-shaped clamping groove at the top of the lower fixing block 3. Then, by flipping the upper fixing block 4, the pipe is clamped in the two V-shaped clamping grooves. The bolts are then installed between the two connecting pieces to complete the installation of the pipe.

[0028] By rotating the bidirectional screw 92, the two sliding rods 9 are driven to move closer to each other. Under the connection of the two sets of connecting rods 91, the two sets of swing rods 7 are pulled to the inner bottom wall of the support base 1 to flip, so that the caster wheel 8 flips from the bottom of the support base 1 to the side of the support base 1. The bottom of the support base 1 supports the whole device. By rotating the bidirectional screw 92 in the opposite direction, the caster wheel 8 is rotated from the side of the support base 1 to the bottom of the support base 1 for support, so as to facilitate the movement of the whole device. The choice can be made according to the specific use requirements.
