The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

According to an aspect of the present application, there is provided a feeder for a glass furnace, wherein the feeder comprises a hopper 10 and a screw conveyor 20, the top of the hopper 10 has an opening 11, the lower portion of the hopper has at least two compartments 12 arranged at intervals in a width direction of the hopper 10, an upper portion of each compartment is communicated with each other, a lower portion of each compartment has an outlet, and the screw conveyor 20 includes a screw conveyor 21 provided corresponding to each of the outlets, respectively.

According to another aspect of the present application, a glass kiln is provided, wherein the glass kiln comprises a kiln body and the charging machine of the present application, the kiln body is provided with a charging opening, and the screw conveyors 21 respectively extend into the charging opening at intervals along the width direction of the charging opening.

By feeding outwardly at least two compartments 12 arranged in the width direction of the hopper 10 and the respective screw conveyors 21, a wider overall pile width can be formed, increasing the spreading area of the material.

In this application, each screw conveyer 21 is parallel to each other, stretch into the charge door at interval, can set up the distance between the screw conveyer 21 that adjacent compartment 12 corresponds (being the distance between screw conveyer 21's the axis), so that the width that the material that makes adjacent screw conveyer 21 transport spread out in the kiln main part is greater than the distance between the adjacent screw conveyer 21, thereby material that every screw conveyer 21 carried in the kiln main part can contact the material that adjacent screw conveyer 21 carried in the kiln main part after spreading out, with transversely further spreading out under the supporting role of this material, thereby further increase and spread out the width, reduce and pile up thickness, with the optimization heating effect. Specifically, the distance between the adjacent screw conveyors 21 may be designed according to a specific material or the like. Preferably, the distance between the axes of the screw conveyors 21 corresponding to two adjacent compartments 12 is 30cm to 60 cm.

In the present application, the screw conveyor 20 may include a drive unit 22 for driving the screw conveyor. Wherein the drive unit 22 may take various suitable forms and may drive each screw conveyor 21 individually or drive the screw conveyors 21 simultaneously.

Specifically, the driving unit 22 may include a motor 221 and a transmission mechanism connecting the motor 221 and the screw conveyor 21, so that the motor 221 drives the transmission mechanism, and then drives the screw conveyor 21.

To facilitate the simultaneous driving of the screw conveyors 21, the transmission mechanism may include a chain 222 driven by a motor shaft of the motor 221 (a driving sprocket may be mounted on the motor shaft to drive the chain 222) and a gear 223 engaged with the chain 222, and the screw shafts of the screw conveyors 21 are driven by the gear 223. It will be appreciated that the screw shafts of each screw conveyor 21 are driven by corresponding gears 223, and the gears 223 may be disposed at corresponding positions on the chains 222 so as to be entrained by the chains 222 and to accommodate the parallel spaced arrangement of the screw conveyors 21.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3, comprising two compartments 12 and two corresponding screw conveyors 21, it is possible to arrange the corresponding gears 223 of the two screw conveyors 21 at opposite ends of the loop formed by the chain 222, with the motor 221 arranged between the two gears 223 (the positions of the motor 221 and the gears 223 can be adjusted accordingly, depending on the number of screw conveyors 21). Thereby, the two gears 223 rotate in opposite directions, and the screw shafts of the two screw conveyors 21 also rotate in opposite directions.

To facilitate the coupling of the screw conveyor 21 and the gear 223, as shown in fig. 1, the screw shaft of the screw conveyor 21 is coupled to a drive shaft 224, and the gear 223 is fixed to the drive shaft 224. So that the gear 223 rotates the driving shaft 224, which in turn rotates the screw shaft. The drive shaft 224 can be fixed to a corresponding mounting base by means of a bearing block 225.

In the present application, the compartments 12 spaced along the width of the hopper 10 may be formed in various suitable ways. Preferably, the hopper 10 is provided with a partition 13 for dividing the compartment 12. Taking the illustrated embodiment as an example, as shown in fig. 3, the partition 13 may be formed like an inverted V to divide the lower portion of the hopper 10 into two compartments 12.

Wherein, for smooth blanking, the compartments 12 can be arranged in a structure which is gradually reduced from top to bottom. Specifically, the partition 13 may be formed to have an inclined surface to form the tapered structure.

In addition, for giving consideration to smooth blanking and avoiding material blockage, the flow area of each outlet can be reasonably set. Preferably, the sum of the flow areas of the outlets may be 40-80% of the flow area of the opening 11. Wherein, the flow area of each outlet may be the same or different according to the requirement, and correspondingly, the distance between the adjacent screw conveyors 21 may be the same or different.

In this application, the feeder can be fixed in kiln main part the place ahead, perhaps can install in moving platform 40 to remove kiln main part the place ahead as required.
