Detailed Description

The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

At present, in the production process of float glass, tin ash can be produced in a tin bath, and because the molten glass needs to be stretched and extended on the tin liquid surface, the tin ash can influence the forming quality of the glass, so that the tin ash removing work needs to be carried out on the tin bath. The traditional tin ash removing method is usually observed by production line workers visually, and manual removal is carried out by using a rake or a hook according to the amount of impurities, but because the operation proficiency and the cleaning period of the production line workers are uncertain, the traditional tin ash removing method has large disturbance on tin liquid of a tin bath, and the removing efficiency is low.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following tin ash removing apparatus.

As shown in fig. 1, the tin ash removing apparatus of the present invention includes a tin bath 100, an ash removing mechanism and a molten tin driving mechanism; the tin bath 100 extends along a first direction (the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the paper surface), and the tin liquid 110 flows in the tin bath 100 along the first direction; the ash removal mechanism is disposed on one side of the tin bath 100 in a second direction (the second direction, i.e., the left-right direction in fig. 1), wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the ash removal mechanism is configured to move tin ash on the surface of the molten tin 110 out of the tin bath 100; the molten tin driving mechanism is configured to drive the molten tin 110 to flow in the first direction and simultaneously flow in the second direction toward the ash removal mechanism.

In the invention, because the tin bath 100 is extended along the first direction, the tin liquid 110 also flows along the first direction, and the tin liquid driving mechanism drives the tin liquid 110 to flow along the first direction and simultaneously flow towards the ash removal mechanism along the second direction, the tin ash on the surface of the tin liquid 110 can be gathered in the working range of the ash removal mechanism as much as possible, so that the ash removal mechanism can conveniently move the tin ash out of the tin bath 100. Therefore, the tin ash removing equipment has the advantage of good tin ash removing effect, is stable in mechanical structure, has small disturbance to molten tin during removing work, and can reduce the labor intensity of production line workers.

It should be understood that the molten tin driving mechanism can be designed in various forms as long as it can provide the molten tin 110 with a force toward the ash removing mechanism along the second direction, for example, the molten tin driving mechanism can include a helical blade which is disposed in the molten tin bath 100 and can rotate to drive the molten tin 110 to flow toward the ash removing mechanism. In order to more effectively drive the molten tin 110 to flow in the second direction, in one embodiment of the present invention, the molten tin driving mechanism includes a linear motor 200, and the linear motor 200 is disposed above the molten tin bath 100 and configured to apply an electromagnetic force toward the ash removal mechanism to the molten tin 110. That is, when the linear motor 200 is operated, the electromagnetic force generated by the linear motor can effectively drive the molten tin 110 to flow toward the ash removal mechanism along the second direction.

It should be understood that the ash removal mechanism can be used in various forms to remove tin ash, for example, the ash removal mechanism can include a structure similar to a digging arm, which can dig up the tin ash on the surface of the molten tin 110 by a digging action similar to the digging arm, so as to remove the tin ash. In order to make the structure of the tin ash removing apparatus of the present invention simpler and further reduce the manufacturing cost, in one embodiment of the present invention, the ash removing mechanism includes the rake claw 310 and a rake claw driving assembly configured to drive the rake claw 310 to reciprocate in the second direction to move the tin ash out of the tin bath 100. That is, the rake claw 310 can reciprocate in the left-right direction in fig. 1 under the driving of the rake claw driving assembly, and when the rake claw 310 moves rightwards, tin ash on the surface of the molten tin 110 can be scraped out of the tin bath 100, so that the tin ash can be removed.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the rake driving assembly includes a rotating motor 320, a swing link 330, a connecting rod 340, a slide rail 350 and a slider 360; the rotary motor 320 is configured to be capable of rotating the swing link 330 so as to make one end of the swing link 330 far away from the rotary motor 320 perform a circular motion (the track of the circular motion is the circular dashed line in fig. 1); one end of the connecting rod 340 is hinged with the swing rod 330, and the other end is hinged with the sliding block 360; the slide rail 350 extends along the second direction, and the slider 360 is installed in the slide rail 350; the head 310 is connected to a slide 360. When one end of the swing rod 330 performs the circular motion, the swing rod 330 drives the slider 360 and the rake claw 310 to reciprocate along the second direction.

In order to more conveniently control the movement speed of the swing link 330, in one embodiment of the present invention, the claw driving assembly includes a reducer 370, the rotating motor 320 is connected to the reducer 370, one end of the swing link 330 is connected to an output shaft of the reducer 370, and the swing link 330 is vertically disposed to the output shaft.

In order to make tin ash more smoothly pulled out from the tin bath 100, in one embodiment of the invention, a side of the tin bath 100 close to the rake driving assembly is provided with a slope surface 120, and the height of the slope surface 120 in the direction away from the molten tin 110 is gradually increased; the slide rail 350 includes an inclined section 351, and an inclination angle of the inclined section 351 is identical to that of the slope surface 120. In the embodiment of fig. 1, the upper end of the sliding block 360 has a rod-shaped portion, a part of which is obliquely arranged so as to match the inclined section 351 of the sliding rail 350, and the rake claw 310 is connected with the rod-shaped portion of the sliding block 360 through a connecting rod, so that when the rake claw 310 moves to the right to the slope surface 120 of the tin bath 100 under the driving of the sliding block 360, the rake claw 310 can move obliquely against the slope surface 120 so as to smoothly scrape the tin ash out of the tin bath 100, and the rake claw 310 does not damage the slope surface 120 in the whole process.

In order to facilitate the removal of the tin ash, in one embodiment of the present invention, the tin ash removing apparatus includes an ash receiving hopper 400, and the ash receiving hopper 400 is disposed below the slope surface 120 along the sidewall of the tin bath 100.

In order to ensure the fluidity of the molten tin 110 during the flow of the molten tin 110, it is necessary to maintain the molten tin 110 at a certain temperature, and therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the molten tin ash removing apparatus includes a heat insulating wall 500, the heat insulating wall 500 is vertically disposed above the molten tin bath 100 to define a heat insulating space 510 between the heat insulating wall 500 and the jaw driving assembly, and the jaws 310 reciprocate in the heat insulating space 510.

Further, the tin ash removing apparatus may further include a nitrogen gas line 600, and the nitrogen gas line 600 may be configured to supply nitrogen gas into the insulated space 510. And nitrogen is continuously introduced into the heat-insulating space 510 through the nitrogen pipeline 600, so that the possibility that the molten tin 110 is oxidized due to the fact that the heat-insulating space 510 is not tightly sealed is avoided.

Through the embodiment, the tin ash removing equipment disclosed by the invention has the following advantages:

1. tin ash in a tin bath 100 of a float glass production line can be automatically removed;

2. the mechanical structure is stable, and the disturbance to the molten tin 110 is small when the tin ash is removed;

3. nitrogen can be introduced into the heat-preserving space 510, so that the oxidation of the molten tin 110 is reduced as much as possible;

4. the working intensity of field personnel is reduced;

5. tin ash in the tin bath 100 can be cleaned all the day, so that the cleanliness of the molten tin 110 is ensured, and the quality of the glass plate is improved.

The invention also provides a glass production system which comprises the tin ash removing equipment.

The glass production system of the present invention has the same advantages as the above tin ash removing device compared with the prior art, and is not described herein again.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, many simple modifications may be made to the technical solution of the invention, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combinations of the invention will not be described further.
