Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to equipment for preparing raw materials for glass bottle production, specifically to an automatic weighing and proportioning device for cold spray liquid used in glass production. Background Technology

[0002] The production of glass bottles involves melting raw glass into molten glass, which is then fed into a conveyor system via a feeding device. After multiple processes including blowing, cooling, and annealing, the finished glass bottle is produced. Due to the long and complex manufacturing process, conveyor belts are used to transport the bottles between different stages. During this transport, to prevent damage from collisions and friction and to increase the surface smoothness of the bottles, cold spray nozzles are installed at the tail end of the annealing furnace. These nozzles spray cold spray liquid onto the bottles to increase their hardness and smoothness, minimizing the risk of friction damage. Cold spraying fluid needs to be mixed with water in a specific ratio before it can be used in cold spraying operations. Currently, the mixing of cold spraying fluid is done manually, using a measuring cup to add the appropriate amount of fluid based on the amount of tap water in the tank. This method results in inconsistent concentrations between batches, leading to high mixing errors, uneven cold spraying effects on glass bottles, inconsistent surface smoothness, and even significant quality degradation due to excessively high or low concentrations, resulting in large batches of substandard products. Therefore, research is needed on the preparation method of cold spraying fluid for glass bottle production to improve its accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an automatic weighing and proportioning device for cold spray liquid in glass production. By measuring the weight of the cold spray liquid in real time, it can accurately control the proportion of cold spray liquid and achieve automatic proportioning and mixing to keep the concentration of the cold spray liquid uniform.

[0004] An automatic weighing and proportioning device for cold spray liquid in glass production includes three parts: a cold spray liquid tank, a mixing tank, and a water pump. The cold spray liquid tank is used to hold the cold spray liquid, the mixing tank is used to add the cold spray liquid and tap water for mixing, and the water pump is used to draw the cold spray liquid into the mixing tank. The water pump is connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe extends into the bottom of the cold spray liquid tank and draws the cold spray liquid from the bottom of the tank through the inlet pipe. The outlet pipe is connected to the top of the mixing tank, and a tap water pipe is connected to the top of the mixing tank to inject the drawn cold spray liquid and external tap water into the mixing tank from the top. A conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the mixing tank to transport the prepared cold spray mixture to the production line. To precisely control the amount of cold spray liquid added, a weight system and a control system are set up. The weight system consists of a base and a weight sensor. The control system and the weight sensor are installed on the base, with the weight sensor located in the middle of the base. The cold spray liquid tank is movably placed on the weight sensor. The weight sensor measures the weight of the cold spray liquid tank in real time. The decrease in the weight of the cold spray liquid tank detected is the weight of the cold spray liquid pumped by the water pump. Then, the water pump and the weight sensor are electrically connected to the control system. The control system controls the start of the water pump. By controlling the water pump through the control system and combining the detection data of the weight sensor, the amount of cold spray liquid added can be precisely controlled.

[0005] For ease of operation, a control panel is installed on the base. The control panel is electrically connected to the control system. The control panel has a display panel, input buttons, and a switch. The display panel shows the detection data of the weight sensor to accurately display the amount of cold spray fluid injected. The input buttons can be used to set the injection weight of the cold spray fluid. The control system controls the water pump to start automatically. When the weight sensor detects that the water pump has drawn the preset weight of cold spray fluid, the control system automatically controls the water pump to stop, thus completing the process.

[0006] To ensure the safety of the cold spray liquid mixing process, an alarm light is installed on the control system. When components such as the water pump or weight sensor malfunction, the alarm light will activate to alert personnel to perform equipment maintenance.

[0007] In order to stop the device in time when a problem occurs, an emergency stop switch is also provided on the control system. The emergency stop switch can immediately cut off the power to the device to prevent further damage.

[0008] To ensure more uniform mixing of the cold spray liquid, stirring blades are installed at the bottom inside the mixing tank. The stirring blades are connected to an external motor, which drives the stirring blades to rotate, thus making the cold spray liquid and tap water mix more evenly.

[0009] To control the amount of tap water added to the mixing tank, a vertical slot is cut into the side of the mixing tank, and a graduated transparent strip is installed in the slot. The water level in the mixing tank can be observed through the transparent strip, and the amount of tap water added is displayed on the scale. The amount of cold spray liquid added is then calculated based on the amount of tap water added, and the amount of cold spray liquid added can be input using the control panel.

[0010] This utility model provides an automatic weighing and proportioning device for cold spray liquid in glass production. It can precisely control the amount of cold spray liquid added during the preparation of the cold spray liquid mixture, ensuring uniform concentration in each batch, improving the production quality of glass bottles, and reducing product quality deviations caused by inconsistent cold spray liquid concentration. The entire cold spray liquid mixing process is fully automated; personnel only need to control the amount of tap water added and set the control panel to achieve automatic preparation. The entire process is simple, efficient, and highly reliable, significantly reducing the difficulty of preparing cold spray liquid mixtures and ensuring the safe and effective operation of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To further illustrate the concept of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: An automatic weighing and proportioning device for cold spray liquid in glass production, such as Figure 1As shown, take two buckets, one large and one small. The small bucket serves as the cold spray liquid bucket 1, and the large bucket as the mixing bucket 2. Two openings are made at the top of the mixing bucket 2 as inlets for connecting the water pump 3 and the tap water pipe 6, and an opening at the bottom for connecting the conveying pipe 7. A large platform is set up as a base 10. An electronic scale is installed in the middle of the base 10 as a weight sensor 9, so that the cold spray liquid bucket 1 can be placed on the weight sensor 9. A control system 8 is installed on the rear side of the base 10. The control system 8 contains a control circuit and a main switch. The water pump 3 is installed next to the control system 8. The water pump 3 and the weight sensor 9 are connected to the control system 8. The control system 8 receives the signal from the weight sensor 9 and then controls the start and stop of the water pump 3. Make an opening at the top of the cold spray tank 1, connect the feed pipe 4 to the water pump 3, extend the end of the feed pipe 4 into the cold spray tank 1 through the top opening, so that the end of the feed pipe 4 is at the bottom of the cold spray tank 1, then connect the discharge pipe 5 to the water pump 3, connect the end of the discharge pipe 5 to one opening at the top of the mixing tank 2, and connect the other opening of the mixing tank 2 to the tap water pipe 6.

[0014] A control panel 11 is installed on the front side of the base 10. The control panel 11 is equipped with a display panel, input buttons, and a switch. The control panel 11 is connected to the control system 8. Then, an alarm light 12 and an emergency stop switch 13 are installed on the control system 8. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.

[0015] A motor 15 is installed at the bottom outer side of the mixing tank 2. The shaft of the motor 15 extends into the mixing tank 2. The motor 15 is controlled by the control system 8. A stirring blade 14 is then installed at the end of the shaft, positioned at the bottom inner side of the mixing tank 2. A vertical slot is cut into the side of the mixing tank 2. A piece of glass is installed inside the slot as a transparent strip 16, and graduated grooves are marked on the glass according to the different liquid volumes at different heights. Figure 3 As shown.

[0016] In use, turn on the main switch on the control system 8 to supply power to the control circuit, water pump 3, weight sensor 9, control panel 11, and other electrical components, putting the entire device into operation. Then, fill the cold spray tank 1 with cold spray liquid and place it on the weight sensor 9 to measure its current weight. Next, control the external tap water valve to inject tap water into the mixing tank 2 through the tap water pipe 6. Observe the amount of tap water injected through the scale line on the transparent strip 16. When the preset amount is reached, close the valve to stop the tap water injection. After preparation, calculate the required weight of cold spray liquid based on the amount of tap water and the cold spray liquid addition ratio. Set the amount of cold spray liquid to be added using the input buttons on the control panel 11. After setting, the control circuit of the control system 8 starts the water pump 3 according to the set value. The water pump 3 pumps the cold spray liquid into the mixing tank 2, and at the same time starts the stirring blades 14 to stir and mix. When the weight sensor 9 detects that the overall weight of the cold spray liquid tank 1 has decreased by the set value, it is determined that the cold spray liquid has reached the injection ratio requirement. The control circuit of the control system 8 stops the water pump 3 and the motor 15, completing the automatic weighing, proportioning and stirring of the cold spray liquid. The stirred and mixed cold spray liquid can be transferred to the production line for cold spraying operation through the conveying pipe 7.

[0017] During normal production, the main switch can be kept on, and the equipment can be turned on by the switch on the control panel 11. When the equipment malfunctions, such as when the control circuit detects that the water pump 3 is damaged or the weight sensor 9 is abnormal, the control circuit will activate the alarm light 12 to sound an alarm. The operator can press the emergency stop switch 13 to stop the equipment from running.
