48 results about "Glass melting" patented technology

Melting is the process where a solid becomes a liquid (ex. ice melts to water) which is more or less abrupt.You see glass doesn't actually melt persay. Rather it goes through a glass phase transition. Meaning that when it comes to glass "melting"it's a more gradual process.

A method and system for monitoring the liquid level of molten glass in a furnace during substrate glass preparation.

ActiveCN115077658BCharging furnaceGlass furnace apparatusGlass furnaceGlass melting
This invention discloses a method and system for monitoring the liquid glass level in a furnace during substrate glass preparation, belonging to the field of substrate glass manufacturing technology. It solves the technical problem that existing technologies cannot achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment of the liquid glass level in a substrate glass furnace to ensure its stability. The method involves collecting weighing data of glass powder and substrate glass, and calculating the theoretical height of the liquid glass level in the furnace. Subsequently, a glass volume conversion coefficient is set, and the actual liquid glass level is manually measured. The theoretical and actual liquid glass levels are compared to correct the volume conversion coefficients for melting glass powder and substrate glass. By comparing the difference between the theoretical and target liquid glass levels, the feeding frequency of the feeding system is adjusted, thereby achieving adjustment and stability of the liquid glass level in the substrate glass furnace.

A substrate glass melting furnace electrode brick structure

ActiveCN224313413UGlass furnace apparatusTank furnacesCombustion systemGlass melting
This utility model discloses an electrode brick structure for a substrate glass melting furnace, relating to the technical field of glass electric melting furnaces. It includes a furnace body and an oxy-fuel combustion system. The oxy-fuel combustion system includes an oxygen supply mechanism and a heating mechanism. The heating mechanism includes an electrode brick, a support assembly, and a propulsion assembly. A slot is formed on the side of the furnace body, and the electrode brick is slidably disposed within the slot. Both the support assembly and the propulsion assembly are fixedly connected to the furnace body, with the support assembly located at the bottom end of the slot and abutting against the electrode brick. The propulsion assembly is used to push the electrode brick to slide within the slot. During the operation of the substrate glass melting furnace, by setting up the propulsion assembly, when the electrode brick's heating power decreases due to erosion, it can be further pushed into the furnace, maintaining effective contact with the molten glass, continuously providing sufficient heating power, ensuring stable operation of the glass melting furnace, and avoiding the impact of insufficient power on glass production quality and efficiency.

A preparation process for high zircon bricks

PendingCN122079621AZeta potentialBrick
This invention discloses a preparation process for high-zircon content zircon bricks, belonging to the field of refractory materials technology. This process aims to solve the technical problem of the inability to achieve low-temperature full densification of zircon materials due to their easy decomposition at high temperatures during traditional sintering. The main steps include: firstly, preparing active zircon micropowder with high lattice strain energy through high-energy grinding; secondly, using heterogeneous agglomeration technology to coat the active micropowder onto the surface of inert coarse aggregate, constructing a "core-shell" structure granulated material; and finally, performing low-temperature solid-state sintering below the decomposition temperature, utilizing the distortion energy stored in the active micropowder to drive densification. This process simultaneously controls amorphization degree, Zeta potential, debinding oxidation, sintering atmosphere, and cooling regime. This invention successfully prepares high-density, high-strength, highly erosion-resistant, and glass-phase-free high-performance zircon bricks, suitable for harsh environments such as glass melting furnaces, while completely avoiding the thermal decomposition of zircon.
