Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and in particular to a glass forming auxiliary device and a glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] Glass products are widely used in many fields such as construction, electronics, daily necessities, and optical instruments. In the glass forming process, the glass mold is the core component that determines the shape and dimensional accuracy of the glass product. One of the core functions of glass forming auxiliary devices is to stably position the glass mold, ensuring that the mold maintains a stable posture, thereby guaranteeing the forming quality of the glass product.

[0003] Traditional glass forming auxiliary devices are of fixed specifications and cannot flexibly adapt to molds of different sizes. This causes the glass mold to loosen after being installed in the glass forming auxiliary device, resulting in shaking during the glass forming process. Consequently, this leads to problems such as dimensional deviations, uneven surfaces, and internal defects in the glass products, seriously affecting the pass rate of glass products. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass forming auxiliary device and glass production line to address the problem that traditional glass forming auxiliary devices cannot adapt to molds of different sizes, resulting in loose clamping and thus affecting the pass rate of glass products.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] One embodiment provides a glass forming auxiliary device, comprising:

[0007] Mounting rack;

[0008] A positioning mechanism, comprising a first positioning element and a second positioning element;

[0009] The first positioning member is provided in at least two. The at least two first positioning members are provided on the mounting frame and can reciprocate along the first direction. In any two adjacent first positioning members, one of the first positioning members is used to abut against one side of the glass mold along the first direction, and the other first positioning member is used to abut against the other side of the glass mold opposite to the first direction.

[0010] The second positioning member is provided in at least two. The at least two second positioning members are provided on the mounting frame and can reciprocate along the second direction. The second direction intersects the first direction. In any two adjacent second positioning members, one of the second positioning members is used to abut against one side of the glass mold along the second direction, and the other second positioning member is used to abut against the other side of the glass mold opposite to the second direction.

[0011] The aforementioned glass forming auxiliary device allows two adjacent first positioning members to abut against opposite sides of the glass mold along a first direction, and two adjacent second positioning members to abut against opposite sides of the glass mold along a second direction, thereby achieving stable circumferential clamping of the glass mold. For glass molds of different sizes, operators only need to adjust the distance between the two adjacent first positioning members and the distance between the two adjacent second positioning members, so that the two adjacent first positioning members and the two adjacent second positioning members can fit together and effectively abut against the outer periphery of the glass mold, thus preventing the glass mold from shaking. Compared with traditional technology, the aforementioned glass forming auxiliary device effectively positions glass molds of different sizes by adjusting the positions of the first and second positioning members, avoiding glass product defects caused by the shaking of the glass mold, and thus improving the pass rate of glass products.

[0012] In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism further includes a first guide seat and a second guide seat, the first guide seat being disposed on the mounting frame and guidingly cooperating with the first positioning member, and the second guide seat being disposed on the mounting frame and guidingly cooperating with the second positioning member.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first guide seat has a first strip groove that extends along the first direction, and the first positioning member is movably inserted into the first strip groove. The second guide seat has a second strip groove that extends along the second direction, and the second positioning member is movably inserted into the second strip groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism further includes a third guide seat and a fourth guide seat, both of which are disposed on the mounting bracket. The third guide seat and the first guide seat are spaced apart along the second direction and have a third strip groove. The third strip groove extends along the first direction, and the first positioning member is inserted into the third strip groove. The fourth guide seat and the second guide seat are spaced apart along the first direction and have a fourth strip groove. The fourth strip groove extends along the second direction, and the second positioning member is inserted into the fourth strip groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first positioning member includes a first positioning rod, a first locking part, and a second locking part. The first positioning rod passes through the first strip groove and the third strip groove. The first locking part and the second locking part are both disposed on the first positioning rod and are capable of reciprocating along the second direction. The first locking part is used to abut against the side of the first guide seat away from the third guide seat, and the second locking part is used to abut against the side of the third guide seat away from the first guide seat. The second positioning member includes a second positioning rod, a third locking part, and a fourth locking part. The second positioning rod passes through the second strip groove and the fourth strip groove. The third locking part and the fourth locking part are both disposed on the second positioning rod and are capable of reciprocating along the first direction. The third locking part is used to abut against the side of the second guide seat away from the fourth guide seat, and the fourth locking part is used to abut against the side of the fourth guide seat away from the second guide seat.

[0016] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first positioning rod is provided with a first threaded portion, the first locking portion is provided with a first threaded hole, the second locking portion is provided with a second threaded hole, and both the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are threaded to the first threaded portion. The outer wall of the second positioning rod is provided with a second threaded portion, the third locking portion is provided with a third threaded hole, and the fourth locking portion is provided with a fourth threaded hole, and both the third threaded hole and the fourth threaded hole are threaded to the second threaded portion.

[0017] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first locking part is provided with a first anti-slip protrusion;

[0018] Or / and, the outer wall of the second locking part is provided with a second anti-slip protrusion;

[0019] Or / and, the outer wall of the third locking part is provided with a third anti-slip protrusion;

[0020] Or / and, the outer wall of the fourth locking part is provided with a fourth anti-slip protrusion.

[0021] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes a base, a first support member, and a second support member. The first support member and the second support member are spaced apart along the second direction and disposed on the same side of the base. A first guide seat is disposed on the first support member, a third guide seat is disposed on the second support member, the second guide seat overlaps the first guide seat and the third guide seat, and a fourth guide seat overlaps the first guide seat and the third guide seat.

[0022] In one embodiment, the base includes a bottom frame and a cushioning pad, the bottom frame being disposed on the cushioning pad, and the first support member and the second support member being spaced apart from each other along the second direction on the bottom frame.

[0023] Another embodiment of this application provides a glass production line, which includes a glass mold and a glass forming auxiliary device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0024] In the aforementioned glass production line, two adjacent first positioning members can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold along the first direction, and two adjacent second positioning members can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold along the second direction, thereby achieving stable clamping of the glass mold in the circumferential direction. For glass molds of different sizes, the operator only needs to adjust the distance between the two adjacent first positioning members and the distance between the two adjacent second positioning members, so that the two adjacent first positioning members and the two adjacent second positioning members can fit and effectively abut against the outer periphery of the glass mold, thereby preventing the glass mold from shaking. Compared with traditional technology, the aforementioned glass production line effectively positions glass molds of different sizes by adjusting the positions of the first and second positioning members, avoiding glass product defects caused by the shaking of the glass mold, and thus improving the pass rate of glass products.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0033] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a glass forming auxiliary device, including a mounting frame 100 and a positioning mechanism 200. The positioning mechanism 200 includes a first positioning member 210 and a second positioning member 220. At least two first positioning members 210 are provided, and the at least two first positioning members 210 are disposed on the mounting frame 100 and can reciprocate along a first direction. In any two adjacent first positioning members 210, one first positioning member 210 is used to abut against one side of the glass mold 300 along the first direction, and the other first positioning member 210 is used to abut against the other side of the glass mold 300 along the opposite side of the first direction. At least two second positioning members 220 are provided, and the at least two second positioning members 220 are disposed on the mounting frame 100 and can reciprocate along a second direction. The second direction intersects with the first direction. In any two adjacent second positioning members 220, one second positioning member 220 is used to abut against one side of the glass mold 300 along the second direction, and the other second positioning member 220 is used to abut against the other side of the glass mold 300 along the opposite side of the second direction.

[0038] In the aforementioned glass forming auxiliary device, two adjacent first positioning members 210 can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold 300 along the first direction, and two adjacent second positioning members 220 can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold 300 along the second direction, so as to achieve stable clamping of the glass mold 300 in the circumferential direction. For glass molds 300 of different sizes, the operator only needs to adjust the distance between the two adjacent first positioning members 210 and the distance between the two adjacent second positioning members 220, so that the two adjacent first positioning members 210 and the two adjacent second positioning members 220 can be adapted and effectively abut against the outer periphery of the glass mold 300, thereby preventing the glass mold 300 from shaking. Compared with traditional technology, the aforementioned glass forming auxiliary device effectively positions glass molds 300 of different sizes by adjusting the positions of the first positioning members 210 and the second positioning members 220, avoiding glass product defects caused by the shaking of the glass mold 300, thereby improving the pass rate of glass products.

[0039] Optionally, the first direction and the second direction intersect and form an angle, and the angle formed between the first direction and the second direction can be an obtuse angle, an acute angle, or a right angle, etc. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the first direction is the length direction of the mounting bracket 100 (i.e., Figure 1 The C direction in the middle), the second direction is the width direction of the mounting bracket 100 (that is, the C direction in the middle), and the second direction is the width direction of the mounting bracket 100 (that is, the C direction in the middle). Figure 1 (D direction in the diagram), the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0040] As an explanation, the shapes of different glass molds 300 will vary, for example, in Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the glass mold 300 is shaped as an upper cone and a lower column. In other embodiments, the glass mold 300 may also have other shapes and different dimensions. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the glass mold 300 is abutted by the movement of two adjacent first positioning members 210 and two adjacent second positioning members 220, thereby positioning the glass mold 300 from all sides and preventing the glass mold 300 from shaking and affecting the glass forming.

[0041] Furthermore, the first positioning element 210 can be provided in two or more. When there are two first positioning elements 210, only one glass mold 300 can be positioned at the same time. When there are three first positioning elements 210, two glass molds 300 can be positioned at the same time along the first direction, and so on. Similarly, the second positioning element 220 can be provided in two or more. When there are two second positioning elements 220, only one glass mold 300 can be positioned at the same time. When there are three second positioning elements 220, two glass molds 300 can be positioned at the same time along the second direction, and so on. This allows one glass forming auxiliary device to be adapted to multiple glass molds 300 of different specifications, thereby improving market competitiveness.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the first positioning member 210 and the second positioning member 220 are both rod-shaped; in other embodiments, the first positioning member 210 and the second positioning member 220 may also be plate-shaped or other shapes, as long as they can abut and position the glass mold 300, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The mounting bracket 100 is hollowed out, which not only reduces the overall weight of the glass forming auxiliary device, but also frees up space in the hollowed-out area in the middle of the mounting bracket 100 for placing the glass mold 300, making the structure of the glass forming auxiliary device more compact.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism 200 further includes a first guide seat 230 and a second guide seat 240. The first guide seat 230 is disposed on the mounting frame 100 and guides and cooperates with the first positioning member 210, and the second guide seat 240 is disposed on the mounting frame 100 and guides and cooperates with the second positioning member 220.

[0045] The first guide seat 230 provided on the mounting bracket 100 is guided and engaged with the first positioning member 210 to improve the movement stability of the first positioning member 210. The second guide seat 240 provided on the mounting bracket 100 is guided and engaged with the second positioning member 220 to improve the movement stability of the second positioning member 220.

[0046] Optionally, the first guide seat 230 may be provided with a high-precision slide rail, guide groove or other structure that can guide and cooperate with the first positioning member 210, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the first positioning member 210 along the first direction. The second guide seat 240 may also be provided with a high-precision slide rail, guide groove or other structure that can guide and cooperate with the second positioning member 220. These will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the first guide seat 230 has a first strip groove 231 extending along a first direction, and the first positioning member 210 is movably inserted into the first strip groove 231. The second guide seat 240 has a second strip groove 241 extending along a second direction, and the second positioning member 220 is movably inserted into the second strip groove 241.

[0048] The first positioning member 210 is inserted into the first strip groove 231. Under the limiting and guiding effect of the first strip groove 231, the first positioning member 210 can reciprocate along the first direction to reliably abut against the glass mold 300. The second positioning member 220 is inserted into the second strip groove 241. Under the limiting and guiding effect of the second strip groove 241, the second positioning member 220 can reciprocate along the second direction to reliably abut against the glass mold 300.

[0049] Optionally, at least two first positioning members 210 can be inserted into the same first slot 231, or at least two first slots 231 can be provided on the first guide seat 230 for different first positioning members 210 to be inserted into; no specific limitation is made here. For example, in Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, there are two first strip grooves 231 and they are spaced apart along the first direction. There are ten first positioning members 210, of which five first positioning members 210 are inserted into one of the first strip grooves 231 and the other five first positioning members 210 are inserted into another first strip groove 231. The second strip groove 241 is similar to the first strip groove 231, and will not be described again here.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism 200 further includes a third guide seat 250 and a fourth guide seat 260. Both the third guide seat 250 and the fourth guide seat 260 are disposed on the mounting bracket 100. The third guide seat 250 and the first guide seat 230 are spaced apart along the second direction and have a third strip groove 251. The third strip groove 251 extends along the first direction and the first positioning member 210 is inserted into the third strip groove 251. The fourth guide seat 260 and the second guide seat 240 are spaced apart along the first direction and have a fourth strip groove 261. The fourth strip groove 261 extends along the second direction and the second positioning member 220 is inserted into the fourth strip groove 261.

[0051] The third guide seat 250 and the first guide seat 230 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the first positioning member 210 is inserted into the third slot 251 and the first slot 231. In this way, while improving the installation reliability of the first positioning member 210, the smoothness of the movement of the first positioning member 210 when it reciprocates along the first direction can also be improved. The fourth guide seat 260 and the second guide seat 240 are spaced apart along the first direction, and the second positioning member 220 is inserted into the fourth slot 261 and the second slot 241. In this way, while improving the installation reliability of the second positioning member 220, the smoothness of the movement of the second positioning member 220 when it reciprocates along the second direction can also be improved.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 3 Understandably, the structure of the third guide seat 250 is similar to that of the first guide seat 230. The purpose of setting the third guide seat 250 is to provide a smoother movement effect for the first positioning member 210, which will not be described in detail here. The structure of the fourth guide seat 260 is similar to that of the second guide seat 240, which will not be described in detail here either.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the first positioning member 210 includes a first positioning rod, a first locking part 271, and a second locking part. The first positioning rod passes through the first strip groove 231 and the third strip groove 251. The first locking part 271 and the second locking part are both disposed on the first positioning rod and can reciprocate along a second direction. The first locking part 271 is used to abut against the side of the first guide seat 230 away from the third guide seat 250, and the second locking part is used to abut against the side of the third guide seat 250 away from the first guide seat 230. The second positioning member 220 includes a second positioning rod, a third locking part 272, and a fourth locking part 273. The second positioning rod passes through the second strip groove 241 and the fourth strip groove 261. The third locking part 272 and the fourth locking part 273 are both disposed on the second positioning rod and can reciprocate along a first direction. The third locking part 272 is used to abut against the side of the second guide seat 240 away from the fourth guide seat 260, and the fourth locking part 273 is used to abut against the side of the fourth guide seat 260 away from the second guide seat 240.

[0054] The first positioning rod can reciprocate along the first direction under the limiting and guiding action of the first strip groove 231 and the third strip groove 251, and the second positioning rod can reciprocate along the second direction under the limiting and guiding action of the second strip groove 241 and the fourth strip groove 261, so as to achieve effective contact with the outer periphery of the glass mold 300; under the contact action of the first locking part 271 against the first guide seat 230, the second locking part against the third guide seat 250, the third locking part 272 against the second guide seat 240, and the fourth locking part 273 against the fourth guide seat 260, the friction force generated between them can restrict the movement of the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod, so as to achieve effective clamping of the glass mold 300.

[0055] Further, please refer to Figure 1 At least two first positioning rods are parallel to each other and spaced apart along a first direction, and at least two second positioning rods are parallel to each other and spaced apart along a second direction.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first positioning rod is provided with a first threaded portion, the first locking portion 271 is provided with a first screw hole, the second locking portion is provided with a second screw hole, and both the first screw hole and the second screw hole are screwed to the first threaded portion. The outer wall of the second positioning rod is provided with a second threaded portion, the third locking portion 272 is provided with a third screw hole, and the fourth locking portion 273 is provided with a fourth screw hole, and both the third screw hole and the fourth screw hole are screwed to the second threaded portion.

[0057] With this configuration, the first locking part 271 can be moved along the second direction by rotating the first locking part 271, thereby achieving contact and pressing against the first guide seat 230. This configuration is low in cost and can generate reliable friction. The second locking part, the third locking part 272, and the fourth locking part 273 are similar to the first locking part 271, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Optionally, the first threaded portion may cover the entire outer wall of the first positioning rod, or it may only be provided in the portion near both ends of the first positioning rod; no specific limitation is made here. The second threaded portion may cover the entire outer wall of the second positioning rod, or it may only be provided in the portion near both ends of the second positioning rod; no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first locking part 271 is provided with a first anti-slip protrusion.

[0060] The first anti-slip protrusion prevents the operator from sliding when rotating the first locking part 271, thereby allowing the first locking part 271 to press against the first guide seat 230 and ensure the locking effect.

[0061] Optionally, the first anti-slip protrusion can be a dot, anti-slip teeth, etc. distributed on the surface of the first locking part 271, or it can be a knob-shaped protrusion for the operator to rotate; no specific limitation is made here. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the first anti-slip protrusion is provided in two parts and is spaced apart circumferentially along the first locking part 271 so that the operator can rotate the first locking part 271.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 As an embodiment that can be implemented simultaneously with or separately from the above embodiments, the outer wall of the second locking part is provided with a second anti-slip protrusion.

[0063] As an embodiment that can be implemented simultaneously with or separately from the above embodiments, the outer wall of the third locking part 272 is provided with a third anti-slip protrusion.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 As an embodiment that can be implemented simultaneously with or separately from the above embodiments, the outer wall of the fourth locking part 273 is provided with a fourth anti-slip protrusion.

[0065] The second, third, and fourth anti-slip protrusions are similar to the first anti-slip protrusion, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 includes a base 110, a first support member 120 and a second support member 130. The first support member 120 and the second support member 130 are spaced apart along a second direction and are located on the same side of the base 110. A first guide seat 230 is disposed on the first support member 120, a third guide seat 250 is disposed on the second support member 130, a second guide seat 240 overlaps the first guide seat 230 and the third guide seat 250, and a fourth guide seat 260 overlaps the first guide seat 230 and the third guide seat 250.

[0067] The first support member 120 and the second support member 130, which are spaced apart along the second direction, support the first guide seat 230 and the third guide seat 250 respectively, so as to improve the installation stability of the first guide seat 230 and the third guide seat 250. The second guide seat 240 and the fourth guide seat 260 are both overlapped with the first guide seat 230 and the third guide seat 250. While ensuring the installation stability of the second guide seat 240 and the fourth guide seat 260, the structure of the glass forming auxiliary device can also be made more compact.

[0068] In addition, please see Figure 1 Under the action of the first support member 120 and the second support member 130, the first guide seat 230, the second guide seat 240, the third guide seat 250 and the fourth guide seat 260 are all spaced apart from the base 110 in the height direction, so that there is a gap between the first positioning member 210 and the second positioning member 220 and the base 110, so as to accommodate at least part of the glass mold 300.

[0069] Furthermore, since the third guide seat 250 and the fourth guide seat 260 are both attached to the first guide seat 230 and the second guide seat 240, there is a gap between the second positioning member 220 and the first positioning member 210 in the height direction. In this way, the second positioning member 220 and the first positioning member 210 can abut against two parts of the glass mold 300 in the height direction, thereby preventing the glass mold 300 from tilting and affecting the glass forming.

[0070] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the base 110 includes a bottom frame 111 and a buffer pad 112, with the bottom frame 111 disposed on the buffer pad 112, and the first support member 120 and the second support member 130 being spaced apart from each other along a second direction on the bottom frame 111.

[0071] The bottom frame 111 provides an assembly platform for the first support 120 and the second support 130. The buffer pad 112 located under the bottom frame 111 is used to buffer the glass mold 300 and prevent the glass mold 300 from being damaged by direct hard contact with the ground.

[0072] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The bottom frame 111 is a rectangular frame. The first support 120 and the second support 130 are respectively disposed on the two long sides of the rectangular bottom frame 111. The shape of the cushioning pad 112 matches the shape of the bottom frame 111 and is disposed on the side of the bottom frame 111 away from the first support 120 and the second support 130. The glass mold 300 can pass through the middle of the rectangular frame and abut against the cushioning pad 112 to ensure the cushioning effect.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, at least two first support members 120 are provided and spaced apart on the base 110 along a first direction, and at least two second support members 130 are provided and spaced apart on the base 110 along a first direction.

[0074] At least two first support members 120 can provide a more stable support effect for the first guide seat 230, and at least two second support members 130 can provide a more stable support effect for the second guide seat 240, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the glass forming auxiliary device.

[0075] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first guide seat 230, the second guide seat 240, the third guide seat 250, the fourth guide seat 260, the first support member 120, the second support member 130, and the bottom frame 111 are all made of hollow metal profiles, which reduces the overall weight of the glass forming auxiliary device while ensuring overall strength.

[0076] In addition, the glass forming auxiliary device in this application is mainly used in the forming process of chalcogenide infrared glass. The glass forming auxiliary device in this application can meet the forming requirements of chalcogenide infrared glass of different specifications and sizes, ensure the stability of the glass mold 300 during the forming process, improve the dimensional accuracy and surface flatness of glass products, reduce the defect rate, meet diversified production needs, and save production costs.

[0077] Another embodiment of this application provides a glass production line, which includes a glass mold 300 and a glass forming auxiliary device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0078] In the aforementioned glass production line, two adjacent first positioning members 210 can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold 300 along the first direction, and two adjacent second positioning members 220 can respectively abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold 300 along the second direction, so as to achieve stable clamping of the glass mold 300 in the circumferential direction. For glass molds 300 of different sizes, the operator only needs to adjust the distance between the two adjacent first positioning members 210 and the distance between the two adjacent second positioning members 220, so that the two adjacent first positioning members 210 and the two adjacent second positioning members 220 can be adapted and effectively abut against the outer periphery of the glass mold 300, thereby preventing the glass mold 300 from shaking. Compared with traditional technology, the aforementioned glass production line effectively positions glass molds 300 of different sizes by adjusting the positions of the first positioning members 210 and the second positioning members 220, avoiding glass product defects caused by the shaking of the glass mold 300, thereby improving the pass rate of glass products.

[0079] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0080] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
