Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In float glass production, the stable operation of the glass belt is crucial for ensuring product quality. However, due to factors such as fluctuations in raw material ratios, differences in roller conveyor running precision, and equipment vibration, the glass belt often experiences deviation. Once deviation occurs, it not only causes the blade placement point of the glass belt to shift during longitudinal and transverse cutting processes, resulting in dimensional deviations and increased scrap rates, but it can also lead to breakage due to collisions between the glass belt edges and equipment, affecting production continuity and increasing production costs.

[0003] Currently, some production lines use manual inspections to monitor glass ribbon misalignment. However, manual monitoring suffers from problems such as delayed response, low accuracy, and high labor intensity, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern production lines. A few production lines are also equipped with simple monitoring devices, but these devices are mostly fixed structures and cannot flexibly adjust the monitoring position according to the width and thickness of glass ribbons of different specifications. They have poor versatility and cannot issue timely warnings in the early stages of misalignment, leading to the problem escalating.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible and accurate glass belt deviation early warning device to solve the above-mentioned production pain points. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping member has a clamping slot in the middle, and a fastening screw is threaded to the bottom end of the clamping slot. The clamping slot and the fastening screw are used to lock the roller support beam.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a sliding groove on its side end that is adapted to the guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the movable clamp is provided with a slide rail that is compatible with the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the photoelectric sensor type is selected as diffuse reflection type.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] Firstly, this invention uses a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor to monitor the edge of the glass strip in real time, which can quickly capture minute positional deviations of the glass strip and issue timely warnings through changes in reflected light signals, avoiding deviations in the longitudinal and transverse cutting points, reducing waste, and ensuring stable product quality.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model allows for easy adjustment of the height of the photoelectric sensor through the cooperation of the lead screw and guide rail, adapting to the monitoring needs of glass strips of different thicknesses; by using the adjusting screw and slide rail, the distance between the movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate can be adjusted, easily achieving the clamping of the photoelectric sensor, solving the problem of poor versatility of traditional fixed structure devices, and meeting diverse production scenarios.

[0015] Thirdly, the clamping component of this utility model can be quickly locked and fixed to the roller support beam through the clamping slot and the fastening screw. The installation process does not require complicated tools and the connection is stable.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A float glass belt deviation warning device includes a clamping component 2 installed on the side of the roller support beam 1, an adjustment component 3 is provided on the side of the clamping component 2, and a photoelectric sensor 4 is installed on the adjustment component 3; it should be noted that the photoelectric sensor 4 can be electrically connected to a control device such as a background PLC control.

[0024] The adjustment assembly 3 includes a guide rail 301 fixedly connected to the side of the clamping member 2. The guide rail 301 is slidably connected to the side of the mounting plate 302. A fixing block 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping member 2 and located below the mounting plate 302. A lead screw 304 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 303. The upper end of the lead screw 304 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 302. A slide rail 305 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 302. A fixing clamping plate 306 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rail 305. A movable clamping plate 307 is slidably connected to one side of the fixing clamping plate 306 and on the slide rail 305. A support block 308 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable clamping plate 307 and on the upper surface of the mounting plate 302. An adjusting screw 309 is threadedly connected to the support block 308. One end of the adjusting screw 309 is rotatably connected to the side of the movable clamping plate 307 to push the movable clamping plate 307 to slide along the slide rail 305.

[0025] The photoelectric sensor 4 can be clamped between the fixed clamping plate 306 and the movable clamping plate 307.

[0026] The clamping member 2 has a clamping slot 201 in the middle, and a fastening screw 202 is threaded to the bottom end of the clamping slot 201. The clamping slot 201 and the fastening screw 202 are used to lock the roller support beam 1.

[0027] The mounting plate 302 has a groove 3021 on its side end that is adapted to the guide rail 301.

[0028] The bottom end of the movable clamping plate 307 is provided with a slide rail 3071 that is compatible with the slide rail 305.

[0029] Among them, the photoelectric sensor type selected is diffuse reflection type.

[0030] Working principle: During installation, the clamping slot 201 of the clamping member 2 is first engaged with the side of the roller support beam 1. By tightening the fixing screw 202, the clamping member 2 and the roller support beam 1 are firmly locked together. Then, the monitoring position of the photoelectric sensor 4 is adjusted according to the position of the glass strip on the roller. Specifically, the screw 304 is rotated. Since the screw 304 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 303 and its upper end is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 302, the mounting plate 302 can be driven to slide up and down along the guide rail 301, thereby adjusting the height of the photoelectric sensor 4. After the height is adjusted appropriately, the adjusting screw 309 is rotated, which pushes the movable clamping plate 307 to slide along the slide rail 305. Together with the fixed clamping plate 306, the photoelectric sensor 4 is clamped and fixed, thus realizing the installation and fixation of the photoelectric sensor 4, and aligning the diffuse reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 with the edge of the glass strip.

[0031] During operation, the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 4 continuously emits light towards the edge of the glass strip and receives the reflected light. When the glass strip is running normally, the reflected light signal is stable; if the glass strip deviates, its edge position shifts, causing a change in the intensity or signal of the reflected light received by the photoelectric sensor 4. The sensor converts this change into an electrical signal feedback, thereby achieving real-time early warning of glass strip deviation.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
