Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and in particular to a furnace device for producing high borosilicate glass. Background Technology

[0002] The furnace for producing high borosilicate glass is the core equipment that melts raw materials such as quartz sand and boric acid at high temperatures to form molten high borosilicate glass. Its performance significantly affects the quality of glass products and production efficiency. Common furnace types include all-electric furnaces and gas-fired furnaces. All-electric furnaces are widely used due to their stable heating temperature and low pollution. They use electrode heating to melt and clarify the raw materials within the tank, ultimately discharging the molten glass to a collection device through a bottom or side outlet. For furnaces with a bottom outlet, the typical operating procedure is as follows: before discharging, a collection container is placed below the outlet; then, the valve is opened to unload the glass; after loading, the collection container is removed. In existing furnace devices with bottom discharge ports, when the collection bucket is full after unloading, the molten glass is prone to splashing out due to the shaking of the bucket as workers move and drag it. This not only may cause waste of raw materials, but also poses a serious safety hazard due to the characteristics of high-temperature molten glass.

[0003] Therefore, a furnace device for producing high borosilicate glass was designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a furnace device for producing high borosilicate glass, which solves the problem that when workers move a full collection bucket after unloading from a furnace with a bottom discharge port, molten glass is easily splashed out due to the shaking of the bucket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A furnace apparatus for producing high borosilicate glass includes a furnace apparatus body, a slide rail component fixedly installed at the bottom of the furnace apparatus body, a support component slidably installed inside the slide rail component for placing a glass collection bucket, the support component being rotatably connected to the furnace apparatus body, a drive component disposed at the top of the support component for driving the support component to rotate, and a limiting component disposed at the bottom of the drive component for positioning the rotated support component.

[0006] Preferably, the slide rail component includes an arc-shaped block fixedly connected to the furnace device body. The top of both the arc-shaped block and the furnace device body are provided with a slide groove. The bottom of the slide groove passes through the arc-shaped block and the furnace device body. The slide groove is slidably connected to the limiting component.

[0007] Preferably, the supporting component includes a support plate rotatably connected to the furnace device body, and two diagonally designed arc-shaped protrusions are fixedly installed on the top of the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the driving component includes a hollow rod with a thread at the bottom, and the thread is threaded to a support plate.

[0009] Preferably, a knob is fixedly sleeved on the top of the hollow rod, and an active rod is rotatably installed inside the hollow rod.

[0010] Preferably, a secondary rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hollow rod, and the bottom end of the secondary rod is tapered.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary rod passes through the bearing component and extends into the limiting component, and the auxiliary rod is rotatably connected to both the bearing component and the limiting component.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component includes a movable block, the movable block has an installation groove, a locking post is slidably installed in the installation groove, one end of the locking post extends out of the limiting component and the end is hemispherical.

[0013] Preferably, the other end of the locking post is elastically connected to the mounting groove via a spring, and the locking post abuts against the bottom end of the auxiliary rod.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the slide groove are respectively provided with holes and slots that are adapted to the slide rail component.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention uses a load-bearing component to drive the collection bucket to move smoothly along the slide rail. Combined with the firm fixing of the limiting component and the design of a safe distance between the operator and the high-temperature area, it effectively solves the problem of glass molten material splashing out in existing bottom-feeding furnaces caused by manual dragging of the collection bucket. This not only avoids raw material waste but also reduces the safety hazards caused by high-temperature glass molten material, effectively ensuring the stability and safety of the production process.

Example

[0023] Please see Figure 1-8A furnace apparatus for producing high borosilicate glass includes a furnace body 1, a slide rail component 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the furnace body 1, a support component 3 slidably installed inside the slide rail component 2 for placing a glass collection bucket, the support component 3 being rotatably connected to the furnace body 1, a drive component 4 disposed on the top of the support component 3 for driving the support component 3 to rotate, and a limiting component 5 disposed at the bottom of the drive component 4 for positioning the rotated support component 3; the slide rail component 2 includes an arc-shaped block 20 fixedly connected to the furnace body 1, and both the top of the arc-shaped block 20 and the top of the furnace body 1 are provided with a groove 21, the bottom of the groove 21 penetrating the arc-shaped block 20 and the furnace body 1, and the groove 21 being slidably connected to the limiting component 5; the support component 3 includes a support plate 30 rotatably connected to the furnace body 1, and two diagonally designed arc-shaped protrusions 31 fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 30; the drive component... Component 4 includes a hollow rod 40 with a thread 411 at its bottom, which is threaded to the support plate 30. A knob 41 is fixedly fitted at the top of the hollow rod 40, and an active rod 42 is rotatably installed inside the hollow rod 40. A secondary rod 412 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hollow rod 40, and the bottom end of the secondary rod 412 is tapered. The secondary rod 412 passes through the bearing component 3 and extends into the limiting component 5. The secondary rod 412 is rotatably connected to the bearing component 3 and the limiting component 5, respectively. The limiting component 5 includes a moving block 50 with an installation groove 51 inside. A locking post 52 is slidably installed in the installation groove 51. One end of the locking post 52 extends out of the limiting component 5 and is hemispherical. The other end of the locking post 52 is elastically connected to the installation groove 51 via a spring 53, and the locking post 52 abuts against the bottom end of the secondary rod 412. The two ends of the slide groove 21 are respectively provided with holes and slots that are adapted to the slide rail component 2.

[0024] By pulling the supporting component 3 to move the collection bucket, the risk of hot molten glass splashing is reduced. The locking design of the locking post 52 of the limiting component 5 and the slot of the slide 21, combined with the continuous pre-tightening force generated by the compression of the spring 53, ensures that the supporting component 3 is absolutely fixed during unloading and will not slip unexpectedly even under the impact and vibration of molten glass. The anti-slip grip of the active rod 42 and the design of the hollow rod 40 keep the operator's hands away from the furnace body 1 in the high-temperature area, reducing the risk of burns. The alignment mark on the edge of the support plate 30 and its cooperation with the furnace body effectively control the deviation between the center of the collection bucket and the center of the discharge port, avoiding the overflow and waste of molten glass due to misalignment. The size limit function of the arc-shaped protrusion 31 physically prevents the use of oversized collection buckets, preventing equipment damage or molten glass leakage caused by collision between the bucket and the driving component 4. The wear-resistant coating on the inner side of the slide 21 with a friction coefficient of ≤0.1 reduces the sliding resistance of the supporting component 3. Even when carrying a full bucket of molten glass weighing ≥50kg, a single person can easily pull it with the active rod 42. Adding lubricating oil to the side in contact with the furnace device body 1 further reduces the frictional resistance between them. The wear-resistant coating on the inner side of the slide 21 already controls the coefficient of friction to ≤0.1. With the lubrication of the lubricating oil, the coefficient of friction on the contact surface can be further reduced. The force required for the worker to push the supporting component 3 is greatly reduced, making single-person operation easier and less strenuous. This effectively avoids jamming or poor movement of the supporting component 3 due to insufficient pushing force, ensuring that the collection bucket remains stable during the sliding process, and further reducing the risk of molten glass splashing out due to shaking.

[0025] Workflow The operator holds the knob 41 of the drive component 4 and rotates it clockwise: the knob 41 drives the hollow rod 40 to rotate synchronously. Since the thread 411 at the bottom of the hollow rod 40 is threadedly connected to the support plate 30, the threaded transmission causes the hollow rod 40 to move upward along the axial direction. At this time, the auxiliary rod 412 fixed at the bottom of the hollow rod 40 moves upward accordingly, and its conical bottom end gradually disengages from the contact with the locking post 52 in the limiting component 5, releasing the compression. Under the rebound force of spring 53, the length of spring 53 in its natural state is 1.2 times the depth of mounting groove 51. It slides inward along mounting groove 51, and the hemispherical end completely exits the hole at the end of slide groove 21. The positioning state of bearing component 3 is released. At this time, there is no jamming between limiting component 5 and slide groove 21, and it is in a sliding state. The operator holds the knob 41 with one hand to maintain the position of the hollow rod 40, and grasps the active rod 42 inside the hollow rod 40 with the other hand. The top of the active rod 42 is equipped with a non-slip rubber grip, and its diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the hollow rod 40. It pulls outward along the arc radius defined by the arc block 20 of the slide rail component 2, which is concentric with the rotation axis at the bottom of the furnace device body 1. The supporting component 3 slides smoothly to the outside of the furnace device body 1 through the sliding engagement of its bottom with the slide rail component 21, which has a wear-resistant coating on the inner side and a friction coefficient ≤0.1. At this time, the top of the support plate 30 is fully exposed, which facilitates the placement of the collection bucket. The glass collection bucket is placed on the support plate 30. The flange height of the two diagonally designed arc-shaped protrusions 31 is 5cm. The minimum distance between the arc-shaped protrusions 31 is 3cm smaller than the outer diameter of the largest collection bucket that can be fitted to the furnace. If the collection bucket is too large, it will be blocked by the protrusions and cannot be placed, thus preventing the bucket from colliding with the hollow rod 40 and the auxiliary rod 412 of the drive component 4. After placing the collection bucket, the operator pulls the active rod 42 in the opposite direction, causing the supporting component 3 to slide along the arc-shaped slide 21 towards the bottom of the furnace device body 1. During the sliding process, the alignment mark line of the support plate 30 and the furnace body is observed. The width of the mark line is 5mm. This can be used to determine whether the material has returned to the unloading position. When the mark lines are completely aligned, the deviation between the center of the collection bucket and the center of the discharge port is ≤3mm, which meets the unloading alignment requirements. At this point, rotating knob 41 counterclockwise causes hollow rod 40 to move downwards along thread 411, and the tapered bottom of auxiliary rod 412 gradually presses against the hemispherical end of locking post 52. Locking post 52 overcomes the elastic force of spring 53 and slides outwards along mounting groove 51 until the hemispherical end is fully engaged in the hole groove at the other end of slide groove 21. A "click" sound can be heard indicating that the engagement is complete. Spring 53 is compressed to 70% of its original length, generating a continuous preload force to ensure that locking post 52 fits tightly with the hole groove. The bearing component 3 is firmly fixed, and even if subjected to slight external forces such as vibrations caused by the impact of molten glass, it will not slip unexpectedly. When the glass melt in the collection bucket reaches approximately 80% of its preset capacity and needs to be removed, repeat steps 1-2 above: Rotate knob 41 to release the positioning, pull the active rod 42 to expose the bearing component 3, at which point the collection bucket moves together with the support plate 30. After removal, if production needs to continue, the empty bucket can be reset and returned to its original position according to the above steps to enter the next unloading cycle. Through the above operations, the mechanical structure can ensure the positioning and stable movement of the collection bucket, while the dual protection of the arc-shaped protrusion 31 and the limiting component 5 can minimize safety hazards caused by improper operation.
