Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In modern industrial production and daily life, glass products are used extensively, from architectural decoration to electronic displays, from optical instruments to daily utensils. Many scenarios cannot do without the processing of glass, and the glass heating process can be used to heat-bend the glass after it has softened and become malleable.

[0003] However, the traditional method of heating glass involves placing the glass into a lower graphite mold, aligning the upper and lower graphite molds with a worker, and then moving one end of the mold to the center of the heating coil. High-frequency current is then passed through the mold to heat it. However, this process, including aligning the lower mold, placing the mold into the heating coil, removing it after heating, and opening the mold, is entirely done manually, which is inefficient and can easily lead to burns and other dangers for workers.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a glass heating device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem that heating glass using graphite molds involves many manual operations and is therefore inefficient, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass heating device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glass heating device, comprising an outer frame, wherein a heating mechanism is provided on the upper part of the outer frame for heating the glass, the heating mechanism comprising:

[0007] The flipping feeding assembly includes a base that is slidably locked in the middle of the outer frame, a lower mold base that is fixed to the upper part of the base, an upper mold base that is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the base and works in conjunction with the lower mold base, a cylinder that is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the outer frame, a drive end of the cylinder that is fixedly mounted on one side of the bottom of the base, a deflection block that is fixedly mounted on one end of the upper mold base, a drive block that is fixedly mounted on one side of the deflection block, a drive groove that is opened on one side of the upper part of the outer frame, a drive block that is slidably locked in the middle of the drive groove, a high-sensitivity heating device that is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer frame, and a heating coil that is fixedly mounted on one end of the high-sensitivity heating device.

[0008] The limiting component is located inside the lower mold base and is used to limit and fix the glass placed inside the lower mold base.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes two limiting plates that are slidably engaged in the middle of the lower mold base, and limiting bolts are threadedly installed in the middle of both limiting plates.

[0010] Preferably, the outer frame has a groove in the middle, and the lower side of the base is slidably engaged in the middle of the groove.

[0011] Preferably, sliders are fixedly installed on both sides of the base, and both sliders are slidably locked onto the upper sides of the outer frame.

[0012] Preferably, a slot is provided in the middle of the lower mold base, and the bottom end of the limiting bolt is in contact with the inner wall of the slot.

[0013] Preferably, the lower mold base has two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves in the middle, and two symmetrically distributed limiting blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom of the two limiting plates, with multiple limiting blocks slidably locked in the middle of the limiting grooves.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] This invention provides a glass heating device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. When the glass needs to be heated, the cylinder pushes the base towards the heating coil. Under the action of the inclined drive groove, the upper mold base gradually flips and closes with the lower mold base. Then it is sent to the middle of the heating coil for heating. After heating is completed, the cylinder drives in the opposite direction, and the upper mold base flips back to the vertical state under the limit of the inclined drive groove. This eliminates the need for manual operation in the mold closing and mold conveying process, which not only improves the continuity and efficiency of feeding and heating, but also reduces the errors and safety hazards that may be caused by manual operation.

[0017] 2. After the worker places the glass into the lower mold base, the movable limiting plate can be moved to fit the side of the glass. Then, the limiting bolt is rotated, and the limiting plate is fixed by the friction between the bottom end of the limiting bolt and the inner wall of the slot. This limits and fixes the glass, which can adapt to the heating of various specifications of glass and can effectively prevent uneven heating or damage to the glass due to position changes during the heating process.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass heating device, including an outer frame 1, with a heating mechanism 2 on the upper part of the outer frame 1 for heating the glass. The heating mechanism 2 includes:

[0026] The flipping feeding assembly 21 includes a base 211 slidably mounted in the middle of the outer frame 1. A lower mold base 214 is fixed to the upper part of the base 211. An upper mold base 215, which cooperates with the lower mold base 214, is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the base 211. Both the upper mold base 215 and the lower mold base 214 are graphite molds. A cylinder 213 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the outer frame 1. This cylinder 213 is an SMC long-life cylinder, model MDBT100-100DZ. The bottom end of the base 211 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the cylinder 213. One end of the upper mold base 215 is fixedly installed with a deflection block 216. One side of the deflection block 216 is fixedly installed with a drive block 217. One side of the upper part of the outer frame 1 is provided with a drive groove 2171. The drive block 217 is slidably locked in the middle of the drive groove 2171. One side of the outer frame 1 is fixedly installed with a high-sensitivity heating device 218. One end of the high-sensitivity heating device 218 is fixedly installed with a heating coil 219.

[0027] The limiting component 22 is disposed inside the lower mold base 214 and is used to limit and fix the glass placed inside the lower mold base 214.

[0028] The limiting component 22 includes two limiting plates 221 that are slidably locked in the middle of the lower mold base 214. Each limiting plate 221 has a limiting bolt 222 threadedly installed in the middle of its middle. The bottom end of the limiting bolt 222 is provided with anti-slip and wear-resistant texture, so that the limiting plate 221 can be limited and fixed by friction.

[0029] The outer frame 1 has a groove 2131 in the middle. The lower side of the base 211 is slidably locked in the middle of the groove 2131. The groove 2131 facilitates the connection between the cylinder 213 and the base 211, so that the cylinder 213 can drive the base 211 to move. At the same time, it can limit the movement of the base 211 to ensure the stability of the movement of the base 211.

[0030] Both sides of the base 211 are fixedly installed with sliders 212. Both sliders 212 are slidably locked on the upper sides of the outer frame 1. The sliders 212 can limit the base 211, so that the base 211 can slide stably on both sides of the outer frame 1 under the drive of the cylinder 213.

[0031] A slot 223 is provided in the middle of the lower mold base 214. The bottom end of the limiting bolt 222 is in contact with the inner wall of the slot 223. The lower inner surface of the slot 223 has raised and recessed textures to increase the friction between the limiting bolt 222 and the lower surface of the slot 223, thereby limiting and fixing the limiting plate 221.

[0032] The lower mold base 214 has two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 225 in the middle. Two symmetrically distributed limiting blocks 224 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the two limiting plates 221. Multiple limiting blocks 224 are slidably locked in the middle of the limiting grooves 225. The cross-sections of the limiting grooves 225 and the limiting blocks 224 are T-shaped, which allows the two limiting plates 221 to move stably to limit and clamp the glass.

[0033] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] During operation, the worker places the glass to be heated into the lower mold base 214 and moves the two limiting plates 221 to make them contact the two sides of the glass to limit its movement. At this time, the limiting bolts 222 can be rotated to make them contact the lower surface of the lower slot 223. Since the lower surface of the slot 223 is provided with raised and recessed textures, the limiting plates 221 can be limited and fixed by friction after the limiting bolts 222 are tightened downwards, thus limiting and fixing the glass.

[0035] At this time, driven by the cylinder 213, the base 211 can be moved towards the heating coil 219, that is, the upper mold base 215 and the lower mold base 214 move synchronously. The driving block 217 is located in the inclined groove of the driving groove 2171, so that the deflection block 216 can be rotated under the cooperation of the driving groove 2171 and the driving block 217, which in turn drives the upper mold base 215 to deflect, so that it gradually changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state until the upper mold base 215 and the lower mold base 214 come into contact with each other. At this time, the driving block 217 is located in the straight groove of the driving groove 2171, so that under the continued drive of the cylinder 213, the closed upper mold base 215 and the lower mold base 214 can be moved to the middle of the heating coil 219. Under the cooperation of the high-sensitivity heating device 218 and the heating coil 219, the high-frequency current is passed through the mold to heat it.

[0036] After heating is completed, the mold is moved away from the heating coil 219 by the reverse drive of the cylinder 213. When the drive block 217 enters the inclined groove of the drive groove 2171, the mold has left the middle of the heating coil 219. Under the limit of the inclined groove, the upper mold base 215 can be flipped again and made perpendicular to the lower mold base 214. This makes it convenient for the staff to take out the heated glass and put in the glass that needs to be heated.
