Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a glass ultrasonic homogenization device. Background Technology

[0002] In the hot-end manufacturing process of existing high-end electronic display glass substrates (such as TFT-LCD glass substrates, glass covers, ultra-thin flexible glass, etc.), the homogenization treatment of molten glass is a particularly critical process. The quality of its homogenization effect directly affects the optical performance of the substrate. If the homogenization is poor, the stripes, ripples, and compositional differences that appear on the substrate will seriously affect the display effect, including optical transmittance, clarity, and contrast.

[0003] For homogenization during the melting process, existing production lines typically use a furnace and a platinum channel as the core equipment for high-temperature glass melting. Within the platinum channel's stirring section, a mechanically rotating stirring mechanism is installed to homogenize the molten glass. The core of this mechanism is a stirring rod made of platinum group metals or platinum group alloys. The stirring teeth or blades on the rod, which interact with the molten glass, are typically frame-shaped, disc-shaped, or conical. Driven by a variable frequency motor, the stirring rod rotates axially at a given speed. As the rod rotates, the stirring teeth or blades on it agitate the molten glass on nearby surfaces and create a velocity difference with the molten glass at greater distances. This causes shearing of the molten glass, continuously dividing, stretching, and diffusing the molten glass. Simultaneously, the continuous rotation of the stirring rod ultimately homogenizes the various parts of the melt. Essentially, it utilizes mechanical force to force convection of the macroscopic fluid.

[0004] The traditional stirring and homogenization techniques described above have the following drawbacks: First, the effective stirring area is limited, with shear gradients existing within it, and "dead zones" (such as the stirring shaft and the walls or bottom of the mixing tank) are prone to occur. Second, the scale of homogenization is insufficient, often with an effective scale at the millimeter or even micrometer level. Therefore, even if streaks can be eliminated, microscopic compositional differences are difficult to eliminate, making the effect at the microscopic scale particularly important. Therefore, the homogenization quality of glass still needs improvement at present. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology by providing a glass ultrasonic homogenization device to improve the quality of glass homogenization.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a glass ultrasonic homogenization device, including a supporting structure, the structural features of which are: The support structure includes a base, and the top support end of the base can be fixed in the X / Y direction relative to its bottom end. The top of the base is fixedly provided with a vertical track mechanism, and the track mechanism is provided with a mounting connection end that can move and be fixed along the Z direction. The mounting connection end is fixedly connected with a support connector. An ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic vibration mechanism are fixedly installed on the support connector. The ultrasonic vibration mechanism includes an ultrasonic transducer, an amplitude rod is mounted and connected to the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer, and the ultrasonic transducer is electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator. The amplitude bar comprises multiple segments, and the cross-sectional diameter of the amplitude bar increases sequentially from top to bottom.

[0007] When using the aforementioned ultrasonic glass homogenization device, it is first installed at the glass homogenization processing channel. After installation, the power is connected, causing the amplitude bar of the ultrasonic vibration mechanism to generate ultrasonic vibration to homogenize the glass within the processing channel. The ultrasonic vibration causes the glass melt to resonate and generate cavitation bubbles and intense turbulence within it, greatly enhancing the dispersion and mixing of different parts of the melt and even between particles. The ultrasonic vibration mechanism can be moved and fixed in the X / Y / Z directions via a support device, increasing the ultrasonic range. The cross-sectional diameter of the amplitude bar increases sequentially from top to bottom, increasing the area of ​​each segment. Furthermore, the segmented arrangement of the amplitude bar allows for ultrasonic wave reflection between different segments, thereby increasing the ultrasonic diffusion range of the amplitude bar. Therefore, the aforementioned device ensures that all glass within the processing channel receives high-amplitude ultrasonic waves, thus improving the quality of glass homogenization.

[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing connector is fixed between the bottom of the track mechanism and the top of the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing connector includes multiple connecting plates. This ensures the stability of the connection between the base and the track mechanism.

A lead screw is fixedly installed between the two linear rails. A set of sliders is provided on the linear rails. A support connection end is fixedly installed between the outer ends of the two sets of sliders. The support connection end is a slider connector. A first bearing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider connector. The first bearing seat cooperates with the lead screw to allow the slider connector to slide along the lead screw in the Z direction. A second bearing seat is fixedly provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. The lead screw passes through the second bearing seat, and a first coupling is fixedly installed on the second bearing seat. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first coupling. The drive motor is connected to a second power source through a third connecting line. In use, the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the slider connector to move and be fixed along the lead screw in the Z direction. This ensures the stability of the track mechanism and facilitates the movable fixation of the support connection end in the Z direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the supporting connector is a telescopic support connector. This facilitates the movement and fixation of the ultrasonic vibration mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the supporting connector includes a connecting rod, which is sequentially assembled with a first connecting plate, a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, a mounting block, and a third fixing plate from left to right; A first screw structure is provided between the first connecting plate and the first fixing plate. The first screw structure allows the first connecting plate to be moved and fixed in the horizontal direction relative to the first fixing plate. A second screw structure is provided between the second fixing plate and the mounting block. The second screw structure allows the second fixing plate to be fixed in a horizontal direction relative to the mounting block. The ultrasonic vibration mechanism is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate via a third connecting mechanism; A second connecting plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the mounting block, and the ultrasonic generator is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate by connecting bolts; The second connecting plate is fixedly connected to a connecting sleeve, within which a connecting shaft is assembled. The connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on a bearing connecting seat, which is then fixedly connected to the mounting connection end of the track mechanism via connecting bolts. A hand-cranked reducer is connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft via a second coupling. Roller bearings are connected to both the upper and lower ends of the connecting shaft. In operation, the hand-cranked reducer drives the connecting shaft and the roller bearings to rotate relative to each other, thereby rotating the supporting connecting component. This facilitates the installation and connection of the supporting connecting component with the track mechanism / ultrasonic generator / ultrasonic vibration mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the ultrasonic transducer is fixedly connected to the support connector via a third connecting mechanism. The third connecting mechanism includes a mounting base and connecting bolts.

This facilitates the assembly and connection of the ultrasonic transducer and the amplitude rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer is 20kHz-40kHz. This ensures the effective operating range of the ultrasonic vibration mechanism.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (I) This utility model uses the amplitude rod of the ultrasonic vibration mechanism to generate ultrasonic vibration to homogenize the glass in the glass processing channel. The ultrasonic vibration causes the glass melt to resonate and generate "cavitation bubbles" and intense turbulence inside, which greatly enhances the dispersion and mixing of various parts of the melt and even the particles. The ultrasonic vibration mechanism can be moved and fixed in the X / Y / Z directions through the support device, which improves the ultrasonic range. The cross-sectional diameter of the amplitude rod increases from top to bottom, which increases the area of ​​each segment of the amplitude rod. Moreover, the amplitude rod is segmented, and the ultrasonic waves will be reflected between different segments, thereby increasing the ultrasonic range of the amplitude rod. Thus, this utility model can ensure that the glass in the processing channel can receive high-amplitude ultrasonic waves, which improves the quality of glass homogenization.

[0018] (ii) By fixing a reinforcing connector between the bottom of the track mechanism and the top of the base, this utility model improves the overall integrity of the connection between the base and the track mechanism, and can ensure the stability of the ultrasonic vibration mechanism during operation.

During the machining and assembly of each component, it is necessary to ensure that the straightness of the upper and lower flanges and the amplitude rod and the radial runout are within 1mm. At the same time, the upper connecting flange 604 and the lower connecting flange 607 are fastened by an insulated fastening bolt assembly (with mica insulating sleeve). A 5~10mm high-temperature insulating pad 606 made of asbestos or phlogopite mica is placed between the two to provide physical insulation between the mechanism and the molten glass.
