Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production, and in particular to a furnace front heating device for an annealing furnace that is easy to adjust. Background Technology
[0002] In existing large-scale glass bottle production lines, the formed glass bottles are typically transported to an annealing furnace via a mesh belt conveyor for annealing. However, due to the distance between the forming equipment and the annealing furnace, and the influence of ambient temperature and airflow within the workshop, the formed glass bottles often experience excessively rapid cooling during transport on the mesh belt conveyor. This results in their actual temperature before entering the annealing furnace being far lower than the ideal furnace entry temperature required by the process. Therefore, the current main approach is to add a combustion heating device to the mesh belt conveyor before the annealing furnace entrance to heat the glass bottles. For example, CN201710563709.6 discloses a stress annealing method and system for glass bottles, in which a heater is installed on the conveyor belt between the bottle forming unit and the annealing furnace to heat the glass bottles, ensuring that they enter the annealing furnace at the ideal temperature and guaranteeing the production quality of the glass bottles.
[0003] Existing heaters mainly use simple brackets to fix the nozzles to one or both sides of the conveyor belt, and heat the glass bottles by the flames emitted from the nozzles. This method of fixing the nozzles with simple brackets cannot heat glass bottles of different heights on the conveyor belt. Therefore, multiple simple brackets of different heights are needed to install nozzles of different heights to meet the heating needs of glass bottles of different heights. This results in high installation costs, and when the nozzles need to be adjusted, the adjustment operation is time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Based on this, this application provides a furnace front heating device for an annealing furnace that can meet the heating needs of glass bottles of different heights and allows for convenient adjustment of the nozzle position and height to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
