Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of float glass technology, specifically relating to a tin bath structure for float glass production. Background Technology

[0002] The forming of float glass is mainly completed in a tin bath, which is a tank that holds the molten tin medium. It is mainly composed of refractory material and a steel shell. The refractory material is in direct contact with the molten tin medium, and the refractory material is supported by the steel shell. As heat is continuously lost during the glass forming process, the refractory material will continuously conduct heat to the steel shell. The steel shell must be continuously cooled to control the temperature within a certain range. Otherwise, the steel shell will deform if the temperature is too high, and the molten tin medium will also leak.

[0003] After prolonged use, the temperature inside the existing float glass tin bath will rise higher and higher. Therefore, the steel shell of the tin bath must be effectively cooled for normal operation. The traditional cooling method is to blow air into the air duct under the steel shell through a blower and cool the steel shell through multiple branch pipes. The air-cooled cooling method has a poor cooling effect on the tin bath and cannot meet the usage requirements.

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a cooling structure that combines water cooling and air cooling to cool the tin bath shell, which effectively improves the cooling effect of the tin bath and thus ensures the performance of the tin bath steel structure. Utility Model Content

It utilizes a combined water-cooling and air-cooling system to effectively improve the cooling effect of the tin bath shell, thereby ensuring the performance of the tin bath steel structure. The specific solution is as follows: A tin bath structure for float glass production includes a tin bath body, a fan, a water cooling circulation mechanism, a duct assembly, and a control system. A mounting cover is provided directly below the tin bath body, and ventilation openings are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting cover. The water cooling circulation mechanism and the duct assembly are respectively provided on the lower side of the mounting cover. The duct assembly is connected to the fan through pipes, and the water cooling circulation mechanism and the fan are respectively connected to the control system.

[0006] Furthermore, the water-cooling circulation mechanism includes a refrigeration device, a water supply pipe, a water return pipe, and connecting pipes. Multiple through slots are evenly spaced along the length of the lower surface of the mounting cover. The water supply pipe and the water return pipe are respectively located at both ends of the length of the mounting cover, and one end of the water supply pipe and the water return pipe are respectively connected to the refrigeration device. Multiple connecting pipes are evenly spaced between the water supply pipe and the water return pipe, and the multiple connecting pipes are arranged one-to-one with the multiple through slots.

[0007] Furthermore, the duct assembly includes a main pipe, an air supply pipe, and air supply branch pipes. An air supply pipe is provided directly below each of the multiple connecting pipes. Several air supply branch pipes are evenly spaced along the length of the upper end of the air supply pipe. All the air supply pipes are connected to the main pipe. One end of the main pipe is connected to the fan equipment.

[0008] Furthermore, outwardly inclined baffles are connected to the through grooves on both sides of the multiple connecting pipes.

[0009] Furthermore, both sides of the upper end of each of the aforementioned through slots have a chamfered structure.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple support plates are provided at intervals along the length of the mounting cover and the lower surface of the tin bath body, and multiple through holes are respectively opened on the multiple support plates along the length of the body.

[0019] 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.

[0020] See Figure 1-4 A tin bath structure for float glass production includes a tin bath body 1, a fan device 2, a water cooling circulation mechanism 3, an air duct assembly 4, and a control system. A mounting cover 5 is provided directly below the tin bath body 1. The mounting cover 5 is a U-shaped box structure, and its two sides are connected to the two side walls of the tin bath body 1. Ventilation openings 6 are respectively provided on the two sides of the mounting cover 5. The water cooling circulation mechanism 3 and the air duct assembly 4 are respectively provided on the lower side of the mounting cover 5. The air duct assembly 4 is connected to the fan device 2 through pipes. The water cooling circulation mechanism 3 and the fan device 2 are respectively connected to the control system.

[0021] The preferred water-cooling circulation mechanism 3 includes a refrigeration device 301, a water supply pipe 302, a return water pipe 303, and connecting pipes 304. Multiple through-slots 7 are evenly spaced along the length of the lower surface of the mounting cover 5. The water supply pipe 302 and the return water pipe 303 are respectively located at both ends of the length of the mounting cover 5, and one end of each pipe is connected to the refrigeration device 301. Multiple connecting pipes 304 are evenly spaced between the water supply pipe 302 and the return water pipe 303. Each connecting pipe 304 corresponds to one of the multiple through-slots 7. Specifically, the control system controls the refrigeration device 301 to cool the cooling water and supplies cooling water to the multiple connecting pipes 304 through the water supply pipe 302. The low temperature emitted from the connecting pipes 304 cools the shell of the tin bath body 1.

[0022] The preferred duct assembly 4 includes a main pipe 401, an air supply pipe 402, and air supply branch pipes 403. Air supply pipes 402 are respectively located directly below multiple connecting pipes 304. Several air supply branch pipes 403 are evenly spaced along the length of the upper end of each air supply pipe 402, with the open ends of the branch pipes 403 facing the lower surface of the connecting pipes 304. All air supply pipes 402 are connected to the main pipe 401, and one end of the main pipe 401 is connected to the fan equipment 2. Specifically, the control system controls the fan equipment 2 to provide cold air. The cold air is supplied to the air supply pipes 402 through the main pipe 401, and finally blown from the branch pipes 403 to the multiple connecting pipes 304. The cold air and the low temperature generated by the water-cooling circulation mechanism 3 are simultaneously blown onto the shell of the tin bath body 1, forming a combined water-cooling and air-cooling system to cool the tin bath shell, effectively improving the cooling effect of the tin bath.

[0023] The preferred multiple connecting pipes 304 have outwardly inclined baffles 8 connected to the through grooves 7 on both sides. The baffles 8 ensure that all the air blown out by the air supply branch pipe 403 is directed toward the bottom surface of the tin bath body 1.

[0024] The preferred multiple through slots 7 have chamfered structures on both sides of the upper end, which can increase the air inlet angle.

[0025] The preferred mounting cover 5 and the lower surface of the solder bath body 1 are provided with multiple support plates 9 at intervals along their length. The arrangement of the multiple support plates 9 can improve the connection between the mounting cover 5 and the solder bath body 1. Multiple through holes 10 are respectively opened on the multiple support plates 9 along their length. The multiple through holes 10 are provided to allow air to circulate inside the mounting cover 5.

[0026] The preferred tin bath body 1 has a plurality of inverted V-shaped heat dissipation grooves 11 evenly spaced along its width direction on the bottom surface of the steel shell, wherein the inverted V-shaped heat dissipation grooves 11 further improve the cooling efficiency.

[0027] The preferred mounting cover 5 has multiple ventilation openings 6 spaced apart on both sides, and the ventilation openings 6 are arranged at an angle toward the center of the mounting cover 5 to optimize the exhaust effect.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When cooling the shell of the tin bath body 1, the control system simultaneously controls the fan equipment 2 and the water cooling circulation mechanism 3. The refrigeration equipment 301 cools the cooling water and delivers it to multiple connecting pipes 304 through the water supply pipe 302. The low temperature emitted from the connecting pipes 304 cools the shell of the tin bath body 1. At the same time, the fan equipment 2 provides cold air. The cold air is supplied to the air supply pipe 402 through the main pipe 401 and finally blown from several air supply branch pipes 403 to multiple connecting pipes 304. The cold air and the low temperature generated by the water cooling circulation mechanism 3 are simultaneously blown onto the shell of the tin bath body 1, forming a combined water cooling and air cooling method to cool the shell of the tin bath, effectively improving the cooling effect of the tin bath and thus ensuring the performance of the tin bath steel structure.
