Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for glass kilns. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing industry, glass furnaces are key equipment. Their operating efficiency and product quality largely depend on stable feeding operations. Therefore, an automatic feeding device for glass furnaces is used to feed materials into the glass furnaces. The automatic feeding device for glass furnaces, also known as a material distribution mechanism, is an automated device in glass production that enables precise delivery of raw materials. It can stably control the amount of raw materials entering the furnace, distribute the raw materials evenly in the furnace melting pool, and ensure stable furnace operation.

[0003] However, the existing equipment has the following shortcomings: During the use of the existing equipment, due to the poor environment in the glass furnace processing area, foreign objects can easily enter the feed hopper and mix with the materials before entering the glass furnace together, causing pollution to the glass production and resulting in defects in the produced glass.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed an automatic feeding device for glass furnaces to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed hopper, and an insert rod is slidably connected inside the connecting block. By setting the insert rod, the insert plate can be limited, reducing the situation where the insert plate is difficult to limit during use, making it difficult for the protective cover to be placed stably on the upper end of the feed hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, a slot is provided at one end of the insert plate near the connecting block, and the insert rod engages with the inside of the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, a first spring is fixedly connected to the end of the insertion rod away from the slot, and the end of the first spring away from the insertion rod is fixedly connected inside the connecting block. The first spring is provided to facilitate the application of a reset force to the insertion rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a replacement device is fixedly installed at the end of the discharge hopper away from the feed hopper. The replacement device includes a contact hopper and a connecting ring. The connecting ring is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge hopper away from the feed hopper. The contact hopper is installed at the end of the discharge hopper near the connecting ring. A connecting groove is opened at the end of the contact hopper near the discharge hopper. The connecting ring is engaged inside the connecting groove.

[0021] The specific settings and functions of its protective device 6 and replacement device 7 will be explained in detail below.

[0022] In this embodiment: the protective device 6 is installed at the upper end of the feed hopper 2. The protective device 6 includes a protective cover 61 and a handle 62.

The support plate 67 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 1. An insert plate 68 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the end of the protective cover 61 away from the rotating arm 63.

[0023] Specifically, a connecting block 69 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed hopper 2, and a plug rod 610 is slidably connected inside the connecting block 69.

[0024] In this embodiment: by setting the insertion rod 610, the insertion plate 68 can be limited, which reduces the situation where the insertion plate 68 is difficult to limit during use, making it difficult for the protective cover 61 to be placed stably on the upper end of the feed hopper 2.

[0025] Specifically, the insert plate 68 has a slot 611 at one end near the connecting block 69, and the insert rod 610 is engaged with the inside of the slot 611.

[0026] Specifically, a first spring 612 is fixedly connected to the end of the insertion rod 610 away from the slot 611. The end of the first spring 612 away from the insertion rod 610 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting block 69. The first spring 612 is provided to facilitate the application of a reset spring force to the insertion rod 610.

[0027] In this embodiment: A replacement device 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the discharge hopper 3 away from the feed hopper 2. The replacement device 7 includes a contact hopper 71 and a connecting ring 72. The connecting ring 72 is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge hopper 3 away from the feed hopper 2. The contact hopper 71 is installed at the end of the discharge hopper 3 near the connecting ring 72. The contact hopper 71 is in direct contact with the glass furnace and is resistant to high temperature. A connecting groove 73 is opened at the end of the contact hopper 71 near the discharge hopper 3. The connecting ring 72 is engaged inside the connecting groove 73. A connecting plate 74 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the contact hopper 71. A positioning block 75 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge hopper 3. The connecting plate 74 is inserted into the positioning block 75. A positioning groove 710 is opened at the end of the connecting plate 74 away from the contact hopper 71. A sliding rod 77 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning block 75. A positioning plate 76 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod 77. The positioning plate 76 is engaged inside the positioning groove 710.

[0028] In this embodiment: by setting the connecting ring 72, the contact hopper 71 can be limited and supported, which reduces the possibility of material leakage when the contact hopper 71 is connected to the discharge hopper 3 during use.

[0029] Specifically, a blocking block 78 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide rod 77, and a second spring 79 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the slide rod 77.

[0030] Specifically, one end of the second spring 79 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning plate 76, and the other end of the second spring 79 away from the positioning plate 76 is fixedly connected to the surface of the blocking block 78. The second spring 79 is provided to facilitate the application of a reset force to the positioning plate 76.

[0031] Working Principle: During operation, the user feeds the glass production material into the feed hopper 2 via a threaded feeding device. Then, the user starts the equipment, and the feed hopper 2 evenly discharges the material from its lower end into the inclined discharge hopper 3. The end of the discharge hopper 3 furthest from the feed hopper 2 is then placed at the feed end of the glass furnace. The gearbox 5 is then activated, causing the push plate 4 to move repeatedly on the surface of the mounting frame 1. The push plate 4 then evenly pushes the material from the surface of the discharge hopper 3 into the feed end of the glass furnace for feeding. After the material is fed into the feed hopper 2, the user pulls the rotating arm 63, causing it to rotate on the rotating rod 65, which engages the protective cover 61 with the upper surface of the feed hopper 2. When the protective cover 61 engages with the upper end of the feed hopper 2, it causes the insert plate 68 to abut against the insert rod 610, moving it forward. As the insertion rod 610 moves, it causes the first spring 612 to deform and generate elastic force. Then, when the protective cover 61 is engaged with the surface of the feed hopper 2, the first spring 612 returns to its original position, causing the insertion rod 610 to engage with the slot 611 in the insertion plate 68, thus limiting the position of the protective cover 61. By setting the protective device 6, the feed hopper 2 is effectively protected, which reduces the risk of foreign objects entering the feed hopper 2 and mixing with the materials during the operation of the existing equipment due to the poor environment of the glass furnace processing area. This can contaminate the glass production and cause defects. This protective device 6 blocks the feed hopper 2 and improves the cleanliness of the materials.

[0032] During prolonged use, due to high temperatures, some materials may adhere to the end of the discharge hopper 3 that contacts the glass furnace. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the contact end of the discharge hopper 3. When replacing the contact hopper 71, the user pulls the positioning plate 76 and moves it on the surface of the sliding rod 77. The movement of the positioning plate 76 compresses the second spring 79, generating elastic force. The positioning plate 76 moves away from the positioning groove 710, and the connecting plate 74 is released from its restraint. Pulling the contact hopper 71 causes the connecting plate 74 to detach from the positioning block 75 and simultaneously detach from the connecting ring 72, thus replacing the contact hopper 71. By setting up a replacement device, the contact hopper 71 can be replaced quickly and efficiently. This reduces the inefficiency caused by the existing equipment where the contact hopper 71 is bolted to the discharge end of the discharge hopper 3, requiring tools for replacement. The tools are too cumbersome, resulting in low user replacement efficiency. This replacement device 71 enables the rapid replacement of the contact hopper 71, improving the user's replacement efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
