Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass furnace technology, specifically to an energy-saving blower device for glass furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass furnace production process, the blower is a key piece of equipment that supplies air into the furnace to promote complete combustion of fuel.

[0003] Traditional blower devices are mostly fixed installations, making them inconvenient to move and difficult to adjust to different working positions in the furnace, resulting in significant limitations in use. Their height and angle adjustment functions are often lacking or have low precision, failing to accurately match the height and angle requirements of the furnace inlet, easily leading to low blowing efficiency and increased energy consumption. Furthermore, blower hoses typically lack effective retraction and management mechanisms, easily resulting in hose tangling, knots, or excessive stretching during use, affecting operational convenience and hose lifespan. In addition, insufficient air filtration at the inlet end easily introduces dust and impurities into the furnace, affecting not only the quality of glass products but also potentially accelerating the wear of internal furnace components. Therefore, developing an energy-saving blower device for glass furnaces that is mobile, height-adjustable, has convenient hose retraction and extension, and incorporates air filtration is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide an energy-saving blower for glass furnaces, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as inconvenience in moving traditional devices, difficulty in height adjustment, messy hose retraction and extension, and insufficient air filtration. By optimizing the overall structural design, it achieves efficient and energy-saving blower operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0013] The energy-saving blower device for glass furnaces disclosed in this embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a base plate 1 and casters 2. The casters 2 are symmetrically installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 1. They are omnidirectional casters with brakes. By pushing the base plate 1, the device can be moved as a whole by the casters 2. After reaching the designated position, the brakes are locked to ensure operational stability.

[0014] The height adjustment mechanism 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 1, and its structure is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it includes a U-shaped frame 31, a shaft 32, a turntable 33, a clamping assembly 34, a rotating plate 35, and a support ring 36. The U-shaped frame 31 is vertically welded to the base plate 1. The shaft 32 is rotatably inserted between the two side walls of the U-shaped frame 31 through a bearing. One end of the shaft 32 extends to the outside of the U-shaped frame 31 and connects to the turntable 33. The turntable 33 has multiple slots evenly distributed around its circumference. The clamping assembly 34 is installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 31 and located directly below the turntable 33. It includes a support plate 341, a pull rod 342, a handle 343, a locking block 344, and a push spring 345. The support plate 341 is welded and fixed to the U-shaped frame 31. The pull rod 342 slides through the support plate 341, with its top end welded to the locking block 344 and its bottom end connected to the handle 343. The push spring 345 is sleeved on the pull rod 342, with its two ends abutting against the support plate 341 and the locking block 344, respectively. Under normal conditions, the push spring 345 pushes the locking block 344 into the slot of the turntable 33, restricting the rotation of the shaft 32. During adjustment, the handle 343 is pulled down to disengage the locking block 344 from the slot, and the turntable 33 is rotated to drive the shaft 32 to rotate. The height of the support ring 36 is then adjusted by the turntable 35. After the handle 343 is released, the locking block 344 is reset and clamped, thus fixing the height of the main pipe 4. An elastic block 37 is bonded inside the support ring 36, which limits its rotation angle through friction with the outer wall of the main pipe 4, making it easy to accurately adjust the direction of the blower.

[0015] The drive mechanism 5 is installed at the air inlet end of the main pipe 4, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a protective block 51, a receiving plate 52, a power component 53, fan blades 54, and a filter screen 55. The protective block 51 is welded and fixed to the main pipe 4, and its internal cavity communicates with an external groove through an air inlet. The receiving plate 52 is fixed inside the cavity. The power component 53 (e.g., a variable frequency motor) is bolted to the center of the receiving plate 52, and its output shaft is connected to the fan blades 54. The filter screen 55 uses a double-layer metal mesh structure embedded in the groove, which can filter most impurities in the air with a particle size greater than 10μm. During operation, the power component 53 drives the fan blades 54 to rotate. Air is filtered by the filter screen 55 and enters the main pipe 4, then is delivered to the furnace through the air outlet pipe 6 and the flexible hose 7. Variable frequency control can adjust the air volume according to combustion requirements, making it more energy-efficient than traditional fixed frequency drive.

[0016] The retraction mechanism 8 is fixed in the middle of the main pipe 4, and its structure is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the system consists of a support box 81, a sleeve 82, a sleeve rod 83, a pressure roller 84, a pressure spring 85, and a guide wheel 86. The support box 81 is welded to the main pipe 4. The hose 7 passes through the guide wheels 86 and around the pressure roller 84. The sleeve 82 is fixed to the inner wall of the support box 81. The sleeve rod 83 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 82, with its top end connected to the pressure roller 84. The pressure spring 85 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve rod 83, with its two ends abutting against the sleeve 82 and the pressure roller 84, respectively. When the hose 7 is pulled, the pressure roller 84 compresses the pressure spring 85, causing the hose 7 to extend. After release, the pressure spring 85 returns to its original position, pushing the pressure roller 84 to retract the hose 7, preventing the hose from becoming tangled. The guide wheel 86 is made of nylon, which reduces hose wear and extends its service life.

[0017] Working principle: The device is pushed to the vicinity of the furnace by the movable wheel 2 and the brake is locked. The turntable 33 is adjusted so that the main pipe 4 reaches the target height. The main pipe 4 is rotated to adjust the blowing angle, and the elastic block 37 keeps the angle stable. The power unit 53 is started, and the filtered air is delivered to the furnace through the main pipe 4 and the hose 7. The hose 7 is pulled according to the position of the furnace air inlet, and the retraction mechanism 8 automatically adjusts the hose length. The connector 9 quickly connects with the furnace air inlet to complete the blowing operation. This device achieves the synergistic effect of multi-dimensional adjustment and high-efficiency filtration through the combination of mechanical structure and intelligent control.
