Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of float glass technology, and in particular relates to a glass inclined blanket feeding machine that can measure the amount of material added. Background Technology

[0002] In the float glass production process, raw material handling and precise feeding are crucial for ensuring product quality and production efficiency. This process typically involves multiple complex steps, including raw material crushing, precise weighing, uniform mixing, high-temperature melting, precision forming, and annealing. Among these, safely and efficiently feeding precisely proportioned raw materials into the furnace for melting is a vital bridge connecting raw material preparation and glass forming. Due to the extremely high temperature environment inside the furnace, manual feeding is not only difficult but also poses safety hazards. Therefore, modern float glass production lines generally employ automated feeding machines to accomplish this task.

[0003] As one of the core pieces of equipment in a float glass production line, the feeding machine comes in various types, mainly including screw-type feeding machines and blanket-type feeding machines. In actual production, blanket-type feeding machines are widely used due to their advantages such as compact structure, uniform feeding, and strong adaptability. The blanket-type feeding machine mainly consists of key components such as a feeding platform, a crank mechanism, a feeding scraper, and a drive motor. The reciprocating motion of the drive motor drives the feeding platform to move periodically, thereby uniformly and continuously feeding the mixture into the furnace for melting. The feeding scraper, utilizing the reciprocating motion of the feeding platform, scrapes the mixture on the platform into the melting furnace.

[0004] However, existing carpet feeders still have significant shortcomings in their functional design. Specifically, current feeders mainly focus on automating the feeding of mixtures, lacking real-time monitoring and precise control of the feeding amount. In actual production, operators often have to rely on experience or estimation to judge the feeding amount. This method not only makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of feeding but may also lead to incomplete or untimely collection of production data, thus affecting the scientific and rational nature of production decisions. In the long run, this lack of a precise feeding amount feedback mechanism can easily lead to misjudgments in the production process. For example, overfeeding can cause excessive furnace load and increased energy consumption, while underfeeding can affect the glass melting quality and production efficiency, ultimately posing a challenge to the quality stability and production cost control of float glass products. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass inclined blanket type feeder that can measure the amount of material fed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A glass inclined blanket type feeding machine capable of measuring the feeding amount includes a base and a material storage component, a feeding platform, a feeding drive component, a feeding scraper and a feeding amount measuring component disposed on the base; The storage component is located above the feeding platform. The storage component contains glass raw materials. A feeding port is provided below the storage component, through which the glass raw materials fall into the feeding platform. The feeding drive component is connected to the feeding platform and is used to drive the feeding platform to reciprocate toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool, and the feeding platform is inclined downward toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool. The feeding scraper is located above the feeding platform and at one end of the feeding platform near the inlet of the furnace feeding pool. The feeding scraper is used to block and scrape the glass raw material when the feeding platform moves toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool. The feeding quantity measuring component is located on the feeding scraper and is used to measure the height of the glass raw material on the feeding platform.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding quantity measuring component includes a plurality of measuring modules, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the width direction of the feeding scraper and the feeding platform.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the measurement module includes a height sensor.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding scraper is provided with a mounting rod along the width direction of the feeding platform, and a plurality of the measuring modules are sequentially arranged on the mounting rod.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the material storage component is a hopper.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding drive assembly is a crank reciprocating drive mechanism.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the crank reciprocating drive mechanism includes a motor, an eccentric wheel, and a connecting rod. The eccentric wheel is disposed on the output shaft of the motor, and the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the eccentric wheel and the feeding platform.

[0013] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art: The feeding scraper of this invention can effectively level the glass raw material, ensuring a uniform thickness and distribution of the glass raw material layer. This feature greatly improves the problem of uneven raw material distribution in traditional feeding methods and avoids feeding instability caused by excessive differences in the thickness of the raw material accumulation.

[0014] Thanks to the leveling effect of the feeding scraper and the reciprocating motion of the feeding platform, glass raw materials can form a stable and continuous pile at the front end of the feeding pool. This stable pile provides a solid foundation for the subsequent feeding process, ensuring its continuity and stability, reducing the impact on production caused by pile collapse or interruption, and improving the overall efficiency of glass production.

[0015] The feeding platform and the feeding scraper work together; the reciprocating motion of the feeding platform evenly pushes the glass raw material, which has been leveled by the feeding scraper, into the feeding pool. This collaborative working method ensures a more uniform distribution of the glass raw material throughout the feeding pool, preventing situations where there is too much or too little material in certain areas.

[0016] Uniform feeding is beneficial to the quality stability of glass during the melting process, reduces the internal quality differences of glass products caused by uneven distribution of raw materials, such as the generation of defects such as bubbles and streaks, thereby improving the quality of glass products.

[0017] The feeding quantity measuring component of this invention can accurately measure the height of the glass raw material layer on the feeding platform and calculate the thickness of the glass raw material layer. Because the feeding scraper ensures a uniform thickness of the glass raw material layer, the thickness calculated by measuring the layer height has high accuracy.

[0018] Based on accurate measurement of the material layer thickness, the amount of glass raw material to be added can be precisely calculated. This function enables precise control of the added amount, avoiding the problems of material waste or shortage caused by the inability to accurately control the added amount in traditional adding methods. Precise control of the added amount helps to optimize the formulation and process parameters of glass production, further improving the quality and production efficiency of glass products, while reducing production costs.

The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise ratios, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 2 The core of this utility model is to provide a glass inclined blanket type feeding machine that can measure the amount of material fed, including a base 5 and a material storage component, a feeding platform, a feeding drive component, a feeding scraper 1 and a feeding amount measuring component disposed on the base 5.

[0024] A storage assembly is located above the feeding platform. The storage assembly contains glass raw materials, and a feeding port is located below the storage assembly. The glass raw materials fall onto the feeding platform through the feeding port. In this embodiment, the storage assembly is a hopper 3.

[0025] The feeding drive assembly is connected to the feeding platform drive and is used to drive the feeding platform to reciprocate toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool, and the feeding platform is inclined downward toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool.

[0026] The feeding drive assembly is a crank reciprocating drive mechanism. Specifically, the crank reciprocating drive mechanism includes a motor, an eccentric wheel, and a connecting rod. The eccentric wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and the two ends of the connecting rod are hinged to the eccentric wheel and the feeding platform, respectively.

[0027] The feeding scraper 1 is located above the feeding platform and at one end of the feeding platform near the inlet of the furnace feeding pool. The feeding scraper 1 is used to block and scrape the glass raw material when the feeding platform moves toward the inlet of the furnace feeding pool.

[0028] A feeding quantity measuring component is mounted on the feeding scraper 1 and is used to measure the height of the glass raw material on the feeding platform. Specifically, the feeding quantity measuring component includes several measuring modules, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the feeding scraper 1 and the feeding platform. In this embodiment, the measuring module includes a height sensor 4.

[0029] The feeding scraper 1 is also equipped with a mounting rod 2 along the width direction of the feeding platform, and several height sensors 4 are sequentially mounted on the mounting rod 2.

[0030] It also includes a central control box, to which each height sensor 4 is connected. The central control box collects the data measured by the height sensors 4 and transmits it to the central control room console for remote control and display. The central processing unit of the central control room console automatically calculates the feeding amount based on the material layer width and height, outputs the result to the display unit, and outputs a 4~20mA signal through a transmitter for the furnace automation system to collect and use, thus enabling the measurement and display of the feeding amount.

[0031] The feeding scraper 1 of this invention can effectively level the glass raw material, ensuring a uniform thickness and distribution of the glass raw material layer. This feature greatly improves the problem of uneven raw material distribution in traditional feeding methods and avoids feeding instability caused by excessive differences in the thickness of the raw material accumulation.

[0032] Thanks to the leveling effect of the feeding scraper 1 and the reciprocating motion of the feeding platform, glass raw materials can form a stable and continuous pile at the front end of the feeding pool. The stable pile provides a good foundation for the subsequent feeding process, ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding process, reducing the impact on production caused by the collapse or interruption of the pile, and improving the overall efficiency of glass production.

[0033] The feeding platform and the feeding scraper 1 work together. The reciprocating motion of the feeding platform can evenly push the glass raw material, which has been leveled by the feeding scraper 1, into the feeding pool. This collaborative working method makes the distribution of glass raw material more uniform throughout the feeding pool, avoiding situations where there is too much or too little raw material in certain areas.

[0034] Uniform feeding is beneficial to the quality stability of glass during the melting process, reduces the internal quality differences of glass products caused by uneven distribution of raw materials, such as the generation of defects such as bubbles and streaks, thereby improving the quality of glass products.

[0035] The feeding quantity measuring component of this invention can accurately measure the height of the glass raw material layer on the feeding platform and calculate the thickness of the glass raw material layer. Because the feeding scraper 1 ensures a uniform thickness of the glass raw material layer, the thickness calculated by measuring the layer height has high accuracy.

[0036] Based on accurate measurement of the material layer thickness, the amount of glass raw material to be added can be precisely calculated. This function enables precise control of the added amount, avoiding the problems of material waste or shortage caused by the inability to accurately control the added amount in traditional adding methods. Precise control of the added amount helps to optimize the formulation and process parameters of glass production, further improving the quality and production efficiency of glass products, while reducing production costs.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
