Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production equipment technology, and in particular to a broken glass cleaning device for a glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] Glass may crack during the annealing process. One cause of cracking is excessive tensile stress at the edges of the glass sheet, i.e., the edges are too tight. If the temperature at the edges of the glass sheet is higher than that at the center in the annealing position, longitudinal cracking will occur. In addition, if there are impurities in the glass, the bottom conveyor rollers are bent, or the force of the tin bath edge guard wheel is too great, transverse cracking will occur. Both longitudinal and transverse cracking will leave a large number of glass fragments below the annealing position. At the same time, some glass fragments may splash onto the subsequent glass sheets. At this time, manual cleaning of broken glass is required. The existing glass cleaning method is to manually crawl under the conveyor frame below the annealing position and shovel out the broken glass. Since the glass annealing position is at a high temperature, manual cleaning is not only difficult to clean thoroughly, but also poses a threat to the personal safety of personnel, making it impractical. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing glass cleaning methods, which involve manually drilling into the bottom of the conveyor frame below the annealing position and shoveling out broken glass. Since the glass annealing position is at a high temperature, manual cleaning is not only difficult to clean thoroughly but also poses a threat to personnel safety, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, this invention proposes a broken glass cleaning device for glass production lines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A glass production line broken glass cleaning device includes a housing, a first motor, a second motor, and glass. The first motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the housing, the second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the housing, and the glass is installed inside the housing. The cleaning device also includes a cleaning mechanism installed inside the housing, which is used to clean up the broken glass fragments.

[0006] The storage mechanism, located inside the housing, is used to guide and store glass fragments.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes: multiple conveying rollers, multiple conveying gears, multiple cleaning gears, multiple cleaning rollers, threaded column, lifting plate, two first sliding blocks and triangular plate;

[0008] Multiple conveyor rollers are sequentially arranged below the glass and in contact with it. One end of each conveyor roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing, and the other end of each conveyor roller passes through the inner wall of the other side of the housing and is fixedly connected to a conveyor gear. A cleaning gear is provided between two conveyor gears, and the cleaning gear meshes with each of the two conveyor gears. A cleaning roller is provided between every two conveyor rollers, with one end rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing and the other end fixedly connected to a cleaning gear. One end of one conveyor roller, away from the conveyor gear, passes through the housing and is keyed to the output shaft of the second motor. The upper end of a threaded column passes through the housing and is keyed to the output shaft of the first motor. The threaded column is rotatably connected to the housing, and the lower end of the threaded column passes through a lifting plate and is threadedly connected to the lifting plate. Both ends of the lifting plate are fixedly connected to two first sliding blocks. First sliding grooves are provided on both inner walls of the housing, and the first sliding blocks are slidably disposed in the first sliding grooves. The lower end of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to a triangular plate. The cleaning roller and the storage mechanism cooperate with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the glass can be conveyed by the conveyor rollers, and the cleaning rollers can be rotated in the opposite direction of the conveyor rollers by the conveyor gears and cleaning gears. The rotation of the threaded column can adjust the height of the triangular plate, so that the triangular plate is set above the glass, slightly higher than the glass. When the glass shatters, the cleaning roller can move the larger piece of glass between the two conveyor rollers at will, allowing the glass to slide down freely. The triangular plate can guide the glass on the glass, allowing the glass on top of the glass to slowly move to both ends of the glass, and finally detach from the glass and fall downwards.

[0010] Preferably, the storage mechanism includes: two support blocks, a triangular guide block, multiple protrusions, two second sliding blocks, a connecting column, multiple sets of connecting rods, a concave connecting block, a rotating column, a cam, a belt, and multiple storage boxes.

[0011] Two support blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side of the housing. A triangular guide block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the two support blocks. A second sliding groove adapted to the second sliding block is opened on the triangular guide block. Multiple first sliding holes adapted to the protrusion are opened at the bottom of the second sliding groove. The second sliding block is slidably installed in the second sliding groove, and the protrusion is slidably installed in the first sliding hole. The second sliding block and the protrusion cooperate with each other. There are two connecting rods in each group. The upper end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second sliding block. The connecting column passes through the lower end of the three groups of connecting rods and the concave connecting block and is fixedly connected to the concave connecting block. The connecting column is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The cam is set below the concave connecting block and contacts the lower end of the concave connecting block. One end of the rotating column passes through the cam and is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the housing. The other end of the rotating column passes through the other side of the inner wall of the housing and extends outward to the outer side of the housing. The belt is sleeved on the end of the rotating column that extends to the outer side of the housing and one of the conveying rollers. Multiple second sliding holes adapted to the storage box are opened sequentially on both sides of the housing. The storage box is slidably installed in the second sliding hole. The storage box and the triangular guide block cooperate with each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the triangular guide block can guide the falling glass, causing the glass fragments to slide into the storage box. The belt can drive the rotating column and cam to rotate. Through the cooperation of the cam, concave connecting block, connecting rod and connecting column, the two second sliding blocks can be driven to slide. When the second sliding block contacts the protrusion, it will lift the protrusion, so that the upper end of the protrusion exposes the first sliding hole and lifts the glass fragments that have fallen on the triangular guide block, so that the glass fragments continue to fall.

[0013] Preferably, each storage box has two triangular blocks symmetrically arranged at its bottom. The triangular blocks are fixedly connected to the shell and slide in contact with the storage box.

[0014] Furthermore, by setting up the triangular blocks, a supporting force can be applied to the storage box, making the storage box more stable.

[0015] Preferably, a triangular stop is provided between every two storage boxes, and the triangular stop is fixedly installed on the triangular guide block and is adapted to the storage box.

[0016] Furthermore, by setting up the triangular stop, the glass fragments in the gap between the two storage boxes can be guided to fall into the storage box.

[0017] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed on the storage box.

[0018] Furthermore, the handle design makes opening and closing the storage box more convenient.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The glass can be conveyed by the conveyor rollers. The conveyor gears and cleaning gears can make the cleaning rollers rotate in the opposite direction to the conveyor rollers. The rotation of the threaded column can adjust the height of the triangle plate. The triangle plate can be set above the glass, so that the triangle plate is slightly higher than the glass. When the glass breaks, the cleaning roller can move the larger piece of glass between the two conveyor rollers at will, so that the glass can slide down at will. The triangle plate can guide the glass on the glass at will, so that the glass on the top of the glass can slowly move to both ends of the glass, and finally detach from the glass and fall downwards.

[0021] 2. The triangular guide block can guide the falling glass, causing the glass fragments to slide into the storage box. The belt can drive the rotating column and cam to rotate. Through the cooperation of the cam, concave connecting block, connecting rod and connecting column, the two second sliding blocks can be driven to slide. When the second sliding block contacts the protrusion, it will lift the protrusion, so that the upper end of the protrusion exposes the first sliding hole and lifts the glass fragments that have fallen on the triangular guide block, so that the glass fragments continue to fall.

[0022] 3. By setting up the triangular stop, the glass fragments in the gap between the two storage boxes can be guided and fall into the storage box.

[0023] In this invention, the cleaning mechanism and the storage mechanism work together to clean and collect the shattered glass fragments, which is not only highly efficient but also avoids the safety hazards to workers caused by manual cleaning. Attached Figure Description

The first motor 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the housing 1, the second motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, and the glass 4 is installed inside the housing 1. The cleaning device also includes a cleaning mechanism installed inside the housing 1, which is used to clean up the broken glass fragments.

[0035] The storage mechanism is located inside the housing 1 and is used to guide and store the glass fragments.

[0036] In this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes: multiple conveying rollers 5, multiple conveying gears 6, multiple cleaning gears 7, multiple cleaning rollers 8, threaded column 9, lifting plate 10, two first sliding blocks 11 and triangular plate 12;

[0037] Multiple conveyor rollers 5 are sequentially arranged below and in contact with the glass 4. One end of each conveyor roller 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing 1, and the other end of each conveyor roller 5 passes through the inner wall of the other side of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a conveyor gear 6.

The cleaning roller 8 cooperates with the storage mechanism. The glass can be conveyed by the conveying roller 5. The cleaning roller 8 can be rotated in the opposite direction to the conveying roller 5 by the conveying gear 6 and the cleaning gear 7. The rotation of the threaded column 9 can adjust the height of the triangular plate 12, so that the triangular plate 12 is placed above the glass 4, so that the triangular plate 12 is slightly higher than the glass 4. When the glass 4 is broken, the cleaning roller 8 can move the larger glass between the two conveying rollers 5 at will, so that the glass can slide down at will. The triangular plate 12 can guide the glass on the glass 4 at will, so that the glass above the glass 4 can slowly move to both ends of the glass 4, and finally detach from the glass 4 and fall downward.

[0038] In this utility model, the storage mechanism includes: two support blocks 13, a triangular guide block 14, multiple protrusions 15, two second sliding blocks 16, a connecting column 17, multiple sets of connecting rods 18, a concave connecting block 19, a rotating column 20, a cam 21, a belt 22, and multiple storage boxes 23.

[0039] Two support blocks 13 are symmetrically fixedly disposed at the bottom of the inner side of the housing 1. A triangular guide block 14 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the two support blocks 13. A second sliding groove adapted to the second sliding block 16 is provided on the triangular guide block 14. A plurality of first sliding holes adapted to the protrusion 15 are provided at the bottom of the second sliding groove. The second sliding block 16 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove, and the protrusion 15 is slidably disposed in the first sliding holes. The second sliding block 16 cooperates with the protrusion 15. There are two connecting rods 18 in each group. The upper end of the connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected to the second sliding block 16. A connecting post 17 passes through the lower end of the three groups of connecting rods 18 and the concave connecting block 19 and is fixedly connected to the concave connecting block 19. The connecting post 17 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 18. A cam 21 is disposed below the concave connecting block 19 and contacts the lower end of the concave connecting block 19. One end of the rotating post 20 passes through the cam 21 and is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the housing 1. The other end of the rotating column 20 penetrates the inner wall of the other side of the housing 1 and extends outward to the outside of the housing 1. The belt 22 is sleeved on the end of the rotating column 20 that extends to the outside of the housing 1 and on one of the conveying rollers 5. Multiple second sliding holes adapted to the storage box 23 are opened sequentially on both sides of the housing 1. The storage box 23 is slidably disposed in the second sliding holes. The storage box 23 cooperates with the triangular guide block 14. The triangular guide block 14 can guide the falling glass, so that the glass fragments slide into the storage box 23. The belt 22 can drive the rotating column 20 and the cam 21 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the cam 21, the concave connecting block 19, the connecting rod 18 and the connecting column 17, the two second sliding blocks 16 can be driven to slide. When the second sliding block 16 contacts the protrusion 15, it will lift the protrusion 15, so that the upper end of the protrusion 15 is exposed in the first sliding hole and lifts the glass fragments that have fallen on the triangular guide block 14, so that the glass fragments continue to fall.

[0040] In this invention, two triangular blocks 24 are symmetrically arranged below each storage box 23. The triangular blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the shell 1 and slide in contact with the storage box 23. By setting the triangular blocks 24, a supporting force can be applied to the storage box 23, making the storage box 23 more stable.

[0041] In this invention, a triangular stop 25 is provided between every two storage boxes 23. The triangular stop 25 is fixedly mounted on the triangular guide block 14 and is adapted to the storage box 23. By setting the triangular stop 25, the glass fragments in the gap between the two storage boxes 23 can be guided and fall into the storage box 23.

[0042] In this utility model, a handle 26 is fixedly provided on the storage box 23, which makes it more convenient to open and close the storage box 26.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model:

[0044] First, connect the equipment requiring electricity to an external power source and start the first motor 2. The output shaft of the first motor 2 rotates, driving the threaded column 9 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded column 9 causes the lifting plate 10, the first sliding block 11, and the triangular plate 12 to move up and down. After adjusting the lower part of the triangular plate 12 to a position slightly higher than the upper end of the glass 4, start the second motor 3. The output shaft of the second motor 3 rotates, driving the conveyor roller 5, the conveyor gear 6, the cleaning gear 7, and the cleaning roller 8 to rotate together. The rotation of the cleaning roller 7 drives the rotating column 20 and the cam 21 to rotate simultaneously via the belt 22. The rotation of the conveyor roller 5 transports the glass 4. When the glass shatters, smaller glass fragments fall directly onto the triangular guide block 14, while larger glass fragments are moved by the cleaning roller 8 and eventually fall onto the triangular guide block 14. Some glass fragments that splash onto the glass 4, upon contacting the triangular plate 12, will block the glass fragments above the glass 4 and push them towards the triangular plate 12. Guided by both sides, the glass fragments above glass 4 eventually fall downwards onto the triangular guide block 14. After falling onto the triangular guide block 14, the glass fragments will slide downwards under gravity and eventually fall into the storage box 23. During this process, some glass fragments cannot slide into the storage box 23. At this time, the cam 21 rotates and pushes the recessed connecting block 19 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the recessed connecting block 19 can drive the second sliding block 16 to slide back and forth in the second sliding groove opened in the triangular guide block 14 through the connecting column 17 and the connecting rod 18. When the second sliding block 16 contacts the protrusion 15, it will lift the protrusion 15. If there are glass fragments above the lifted protrusion 15, the protrusion 15 will lift the glass fragments, causing the glass fragments to continue to fall and eventually fall into the storage box 23. When it is necessary to clean up the glass fragments, simply pull the handle 26 to pull out the storage box 23, then clean up the glass fragments in the storage box 23, and then close the storage box 23.

[0045] 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.
