Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of annealing equipment technology, specifically to an annealing device for glass cups. Background Technology

[0002] During the glass forming process, uneven cooling rates in different parts can generate significant internal stress, which can lead to reduced strength, increased susceptibility to cracking, and even spontaneous breakage during storage or use. Annealing is used in production to eliminate or reduce this internal stress, thereby improving the glass's mechanical and optical properties.

[0003] Annealing equipment is generally classified into intermittent, semi-continuous, and continuous types. Intermittent annealing equipment is suitable for thick-walled or specially shaped products. Generally, the glass cup is placed in the annealing chamber, and the temperature inside the chamber is adjusted over time to complete the annealing process.

[0004] However, the applicant discovered that the glass cup was heated differently in the annealing chamber. The direct heating surface facing the annealing chamber was heated differently from the indirect heating surface on the other side (i.e., the bottom and top of the glass cup). The temperature difference between the two sides caused uneven heating of the entire glass cup, resulting in internal stress remaining inside the glass cup and affecting its quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an annealing device for glass cups to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An annealing apparatus for glass cups includes an annealing chamber, a support unit rotatably disposed inside the annealing chamber, a plurality of baffles fixedly disposed on the support unit, adjacent baffles forming a placement groove for placing glass plates, and a plurality of partition strips, each partition strip being fixedly connected to a baffle to separate the placement groove; a driving unit is disposed on the outside of the annealing chamber, the driving unit being kinetically connected to the support unit to cause the support unit to perform a reciprocating oscillating motion.

[0007] Furthermore, the bearing portion includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the annealing chamber, a support seat fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and a baffle fixedly mounted on the support seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the support base has a hollowed-out design on the side near the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission unit includes a motor fixedly mounted on the annealing chamber. A disc is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. A closed guide groove is formed on the disc. A guide rod is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rack near the disc. The guide rod extends into and slides within the guide groove, so that the bearing unit has four strokes: First stroke: The bearing unit rotates rapidly from one side to a horizontal state; Second stroke: The bearing unit rotates slowly from the horizontal state to the opposite side; Third stroke: The bearing unit rotates rapidly from the opposite side to a horizontal state; Fourth stroke: The bearing unit rotates slowly from the horizontal state to the initial side.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide groove includes a first groove, a second groove, a third groove, and a fourth groove whose ends are connected in sequence.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-6An annealing apparatus for glass cups includes an annealing chamber 1, a supporting part 2 rotatably disposed inside the annealing chamber 1, a plurality of baffles 3 fixedly disposed on the supporting part 2, adjacent baffles 3 forming a placement groove 31 for placing glass plates, and a plurality of partition strips 32, each partition strip 32 being fixedly connected to each baffle 3 to separate the placement groove 31; a driving part is disposed on the outside of the annealing chamber 1, the driving part being pulsatingly connected to the supporting part 2 to cause the supporting part 2 to perform a reciprocating oscillating motion.

[0022] Annealing chamber 1 is existing technology, which can provide different temperatures to the glassware placed inside for annealing treatment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Furthermore, the bearing part 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatably connected to the annealing chamber 1, a support base 22 is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 21, and the baffle 3 is fixedly disposed on the support base 22.

[0024] Furthermore, the support base 22 is hollowed out on the side near the baffle 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the driving unit includes a driving gear 41, one end of the rotating shaft 21 extends out of the annealing box 1 and is fixedly connected to the driving gear 41, a driving rack 42 is meshed on the driving gear 41, the driving rack 42 is slidably connected to the annealing box 1 and connected to the transmission unit.

[0026] One end of the rack and pinion disc 52 is fixedly provided with a slider that is slidably connected to the return box.

[0027] The transmission unit drives the drive rack 42 to move back and forth, and the drive rack moves to drive the drive gear 41 to rotate back and forth, thereby driving the bearing unit 2 to rotate back and forth, so that the glass cup moves back and forth in the placement groove 31, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven heating on both sides of the glass cup and improving the annealing effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the transmission unit includes a motor 51 fixedly mounted on the annealing chamber 1. A disc 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 51. A closed guide groove 53 is provided on the disc 52. A guide rod 54 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rack 42 near the disc 52. The guide rod 54 extends into and slides within the guide groove 53, so that the bearing unit 2 has four strokes: First stroke: The bearing unit 2 rotates rapidly from one side to a horizontal state; Second stroke: The bearing unit 2 rotates slowly from a horizontal state to the opposite side; Third stroke: The bearing unit 2 rotates rapidly from the opposite side to a horizontal state; Fourth stroke: The bearing unit 2 rotates slowly from a horizontal state to the initial side.

[0029] When the support unit 2 drives the glass to swing, the glass remains at the lowest point on one side as the support unit 2 rotates from the lowest point to the horizontal position. Only when the support unit 2 rotates from the horizontal position to the opposite side does the glass gradually move to the lowest point on the other side. This results in a longer time that the glass stays at the lowest point on both sides, reducing the time the glass spends reciprocating and being heated in the placement groove 31. By setting four strokes, the speed at which the support unit 2 rotates from one side to the horizontal position is accelerated, thereby reducing the time the glass spends at the lowest point on one side and further improving the annealing effect.

[0030] Further, the guide groove 53 includes a first groove 531, a second groove 532, a third groove 533, and a fourth groove 534 connected at their ends in sequence. The fourth groove 534 is connected to the end of the first groove 531. The first groove 531, the second groove 532, the third groove 533, and the fourth groove 534 are all inclinedly arranged on the disc 52. When the guide rod 54 slides in the first groove 531, the supporting part 2 is in the first stroke; when the guide rod 54 is slidably connected in the second groove 532, the supporting part 2 is in the second stroke; when the guide rod 54 is slidably connected in the third groove 533, the supporting part 2 is in the third stroke; and when the guide rod 54 is slidably connected in the fourth groove 534, the supporting part 2 is in the fourth stroke.

[0031] Furthermore, the distance between the two ends of the first slot 531 in the radial direction of the disk 52 is the same as the distance between the two ends of the second slot 532 in the radial direction of the disk 52, and the distance between the two ends of the third slot 533 and the two ends of the fourth slot 534 in the radial direction of the disk 52 is the same.

[0032] See attached document Figure 6 To facilitate the explanation of the four strokes of motion, the first slot 531, the second slot 532, the third slot 533, and the fourth slot 534 are sequentially arranged in a counterclockwise direction along the disc 52 shown in the figure. The two ends of the first slot 531 are marked A and B, and the two ends of the third slot 533 are marked C and D. Therefore, AB represents the first slot 531; BC represents the second slot 532; CD represents the third slot 533; and DA represents the fourth slot 534. The motor 51 drives the disc 52 along the... Figure 5 Rotating counterclockwise at a constant speed, the guide rod 54 on the rack slides sequentially along AB, BC, CD, and DA from point A until it returns to point A. During this process, the bearing part 2 sequentially performs the first stroke, the second stroke, the third stroke, and the fourth stroke.

[0033] See attached document Figure 6The disk 52 has three concentric circles, from the inside out: circle E, circle F, and circle G. The radial distance between the two ends of the first slot 531 and the second slot 532 is the same as the radial distance between the two ends of the third slot 533 and the fourth slot 534. This means that the radial distances from circle E to circle F and from circle F to circle G are the same, and points A and C are located on circle F; point B is located on circle G; and point D is located on circle E. This arrangement ensures that when the guide rod 54 slides between AB and BC, its radial movement distance on the disk 52 is the same. Since the disk 52 rotates at a constant speed, the central angle corresponding to AB is greater than the central angle corresponding to BC. Since disk 52 rotates at a constant speed, when guide rod 54 moves along AB (first stroke), the speed at which guide rod 54 drives rack 42 is higher than when guide rod 54 moves along BC (second stroke). In other words, the rotation of the disk drives the rotation of AB and BC, and the rotation of AB and BC drives guide rod 54 to move horizontally to the left. Since AB and BC are the same distance in the radial direction, they drive guide rod 54 to move the same distance horizontally. However, the central angle corresponding to AB is greater than the central angle corresponding to BC, so the speed at which AB drives guide rod 54 to move horizontally is higher than the speed at which BC drives guide rod 54 to move horizontally. The movement of guide rod 54 drives drive rack 42 to move, and the movement of drive rack 42 drives the bearing part 2 to perform the first stroke and the second stroke respectively through drive gear 41. The third stroke and the fourth stroke are similar and will not be described again.

[0034] It is worth noting that the sum of the central angles corresponding to AB and BC is 180 degrees. That is, when the guide rod 54 slides from point A to point C, the bearing part 2 rotates from one side to the other side; when the guide rod 54 slides from point C to point A, the bearing part 2 rotates from the other side to the initial side.

[0035] Furthermore, protective pads are provided on both sides of the baffle 3 to prevent damage to the outer surface of the glass from impact.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
