Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of float glass production equipment, and specifically relates to a sealing device for an edge-pulling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The float glass edge-pulling machine is used in float glass production lines, operating in the tin bath section and mounted on dedicated supports on both sides of the tin bath. The edge-pulling rod of the machine passes through the edge of the tin bath and inserts into its interior. The tin bath is continuously filled with a nitrogen-hydrogen protective gas to prevent oxidation. Float glass production has strict requirements for the sealing of the tin bath; the quality of the seal directly affects the glass surface quality and the consumption of molten tin. If the tin bath is not sealed properly, outside air may enter, causing the molten tin to react with oxygen and form tin oxides. These oxides adhere to the lower surface of the glass, affecting the overall quality and aesthetics of the glass product. Therefore, installing a sealing device in the glass edge-pulling machine is crucial for maintaining the airtightness of the tin bath and ensuring high-quality glass production.

[0003] As the edge-pulling wheel of the edge-pulling machine moves or swings continuously, the corrugated pipe will undergo significant deformation. After prolonged use, the flange connection between the corrugated pipe and the edge-pulling machine rod will inevitably loosen, leaving gaps and inadequate sealing. This allows air to enter the tin bath through the gap between the edge-pulling machine rod and the flange, or to flow through the connection gap between the metal corrugated pipe and the tin bath wall, which may affect the forming quality of the glass sheet.

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a sealing device for a swivel machine that has a simple structure, good sealing performance and easy disassembly. The device allows for quick and convenient disassembly and replacement of the bellows, reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving time and effort, and ensuring the normal production of float glass.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] See Figures 1-4A sealing device for an edge-pulling machine includes a sealing flange 3 disposed on the outside of a tin bath wall 1 and fitted onto an edge-pulling machine rod 2. A section of pipe is connected to one end of the sealing flange 3 facing away from the tin bath wall 1. A first connecting flange 4 is provided at the other end of the sealing flange 3 facing away from the tin bath wall 1. Multiple through holes are formed along the circumference of the first connecting flange 4. An annular groove is formed inside the sealing flange 3, and a sealing element fitted onto the edge-pulling machine rod 2 is disposed within the annular groove. A bellows 5 is provided at the other end of the first connecting flange 4 facing away from the sealing flange 3. A front sealing sleeve 6 and a rear sealing sleeve 17 are fixedly provided at both ends of the bellows 5. Multiple through holes for bolts to pass through are formed along the circumference of both the front sealing sleeve 6 and the rear sealing sleeve 17. The front sealing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the first connecting flange 4 by bolts. A reinforcing member is provided between the front sealing sleeve 6 and the rear sealing sleeve 17 on the outside of the bellows 5.

[0020] The preferred reinforcement includes two reinforcing rings 7 and a flexible tube 8. The two reinforcing rings 7 are fixedly connected to the front sealing sleeve 6 and the rear sealing sleeve 17, respectively. The two reinforcing rings 7 are welded to the front sealing sleeve 6 and the rear sealing sleeve 17, respectively. The flexible tube 8 is connected between the two reinforcing rings 7. The flexible tube 8 is made of high-density polymer material, which has good flexibility, high strength, and is not easily damaged. It prevents external air and water vapor from entering and reduces the impact of air and water vapor reaction with molten tin on the glass quality. Combined with the design of the corrugated tube 5, it forms a double protection. The reinforcing rings 7 and the corrugated tube 5 are arranged with a gap.

[0021] The preferred sealing element includes a first graphite ring 9 and sealing rings 10 disposed at both ends of the first graphite ring 9. The sealing flange 3 is provided with an abutment member that abuts against the sealing element at one end away from the tin bath wall 1. The inner sides of the first graphite ring 9 and the sealing rings 10 at both ends are attached to the outer side of the edge-pulling machine rod 2. The graphite ring has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. When adjusting the angle of the edge-pulling machine rod 2 extending into the tin bath, it can ensure that no gas enters or exits, effectively preventing the tin bath pressure from leaking out.

[0022] The preferred abutment component includes an abutment ring 11 and a mounting ring 12. The sealing flange 3 has an annular abutment groove that communicates with the annular groove at one end away from the tin bath wall 1. An annular platform groove is formed on the sealing flange 3 outside the abutment groove. The abutment ring 11 is disposed in the abutment groove, and the mounting ring 12 is disposed in the platform groove and fixedly connected to the abutment ring 11. The mounting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the sealing flange 3 by screws 13. The abutment ring 11 ensures that the sealing component fits tightly in the annular groove.

[0023] The preferred sealing ring 10 is made of refractory fiber cotton, which can achieve effective sealing and thermal insulation.

[0024] The preferred sealing device also includes a tin bath edge seal 14, one end of which is placed inside the tin bath wall 1 and the other end is placed inside the sealing flange 3. By providing the tin bath edge seal 14 inside the tin bath wall 1 and the sealing flange 3, the sealing performance between the tin bath wall 1 and the sealing flange 3 can be enhanced, and air can be effectively prevented from entering the tin bath.

[0025] The preferred clamping component includes a clamping ring 15 sleeved on the edge-pulling machine rod 2, a second connecting flange fixedly connected to the clamping ring 15, the second connecting flange being fixedly connected to the rear sealing sleeve 17 by bolts, an annular mounting groove being provided in the clamping ring 15, and a second graphite ring 16 sleeved on the edge-pulling machine rod 2 being provided in the mounting groove, wherein the clamping component can effectively prevent air from entering.

[0026] The sealing device for float glass edging machine described in this utility model has a simple structure, is easy to install and replace, and has good sealing performance as well as good disassembly. The bellows 5 can be quickly replaced by simply removing the bolts, and the replacement of the seal can be completed by simply removing the screws 13. This not only reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also saves time and effort, and ensures the normal production of float glass.
