Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention automatically winds up a lump of glass onto the tip of a rod and takes it out from the winding opening of several crucibles installed radially around the round pot of a glass melting furnace. The present invention relates to a molten glass winding device that is convenient to use.

2. Description of the Related Art As devices for automatically supplying molten glass, fully automatic bottle making devices and semi-artificial bottle making devices are already known that supply molten glass by flowing it out of a glass furnace in fixed amounts. In addition, a molten glass take-out device is provided with a seed winding rod that can move forward and backward and adjust the elevation and elevation angle of a large pot containing molten glass, and automatically takes out a predetermined amount of molten glass using this seed winding rod. This is known (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-43166).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Incidentally, the former type of fully automatic bottle making equipment and semi-artificial bottle making equipment are suitable for mass production, but they are suitable for small volume production of many types of glass, such as green, red, and black, and also of different shapes. It is not suitable for semi-artificial glass manufacturing, which is mainly produced, and relies entirely on manual labor by skilled workers.
Because this work is dangerous work in a high-temperature environment, it is difficult to train successors, and issues such as the aging of skilled workers, labor shortages, and rising wages have become problems.

The latter, for example, as known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-43166, is a molten glass take-out device that takes out molten glass from a pot using a seed winding rod that can move forward and backward and adjust its elevation and elevation, and is capable of handling large-capacity glass. It is suitable for melting the seeds at once in a large pot and automatically taking out the molten glass with a seed winding rod and molding a large number of products of the same type and shape, but this method is limited to only one type of product. It has drawbacks such as being unsuitable for producing small quantities of glass products such as cosmetic bottles of various types and shapes colored in green, red, black, etc.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and provides a convenient molten glass winding that can quickly finish small quantities of glass products for a wide variety of uses according to orders from customers with a small number of people without skilled workers.

An operating body 2 is attached to the machine body 1, and the operating body 2 is removably attached with a rod 4 having a molten glass winding section 3 at its tip, and allows the rod 4 to be moved in and out from the winding opening 6 of the crucible 9. A manual type, in which the molten glass in the crucible 9 is wound up in the molten glass winding section 3, and the wound glass lump is placed close to the operating body 1;
It is formed so as to be automatically moved to a semi-automatic or fully automatic type press machine 7, and furthermore, the operating body 2 has a base body 10 which is placed on the operating body 1 and rotates horizontally. a vertical shaft rod 12 for vertically moving an operating rod 11 to which a rod 4 is detachably attached;
is attached via a first support shaft 13, and a first motor 31 is provided in the vertical shaft rod 12, and the rotation of the first motor 31 causes the vertical sliding shaft 14 to slide in the vertical direction. A second support shaft 15 is provided at the tip of the shaft 14.
A front and rear rod 16 is installed to move the operating rod 11 in the front and back direction through the
A second motor 18 for rotating the screw shaft 17 is provided.
The operating rod 11 can be moved in the front-back direction through the sliding hole 32 by moving back and forth the threaded part 20 having a screw hole 19 screwed into it. Further, the operating rod 11 can rotate the rod 4 by the rotation of the third motor 21, and the operating rod 11
Attachment and detachment of the rod 4 to and from the rod 4 is carried out through an appropriate mechanism, although not shown. Further, the rear end shaft attachment portion 22 of the front and rear rods 16 is attached with a spring support tube 24 that stands up on the base body 10 and has a built-in spring 23.

Further, an annular rail 29 that goes around the glass melting furnace 5 at a distance from the entire circumferential wall surface is provided, and two operating bodies 1 that move along the annular rail 29 are attached to the annular rail 29. A molten glass winding section 3 is attached to the operating body 2 and winds up the molten glass in the crucibles 9, 9... on the operating body 2.
Since the rod 4 with the tip is attached, the operating body 1 is guided by the annular rail 29 to a position corresponding to the winding port 6 of the crucible 9 having molten glass suitable for winding, and performs the winding operation. It is something that can be done. That is, since the operating body 1 moves while being guided by the annular rail 29, the positional relationship between the crucible 9 and the rod 4 attached to the operating body 2 is set correctly.The melting glass in the crucible 9 is placed at the tip of the rod 4. Winding in the glass winding section 3 is not hindered. In addition, since two operating bodies 1 are attached that move along the annular rail 29 that goes around the glass melting furnace 5, while the operating body 2 attached to one operating body 1 is continuing the winding operation, the other operating body 1 cannot be moved. When the winding operation with the operation body 2 attached to the
Operating unit 1 continues to operate operating unit 2 attached to
It is possible to perform winding operation of molten glass by guiding it to either the left or right position of the glass. While considering the order of operations, there is no need to add glass types and there is no inconvenience in handling, and the empty crucible 9 is immediately filled with a glass type that can obtain the product according to the customer's order and melted. It is possible to obtain an extremely suitable device suitable for small-volume production, which can quickly finish small quantities of glass products for a wide variety of uses according to customer orders with a small number of people without skilled workers. be.

Moreover, it has a simple structure, is suitable for mass production, and can be provided at low cost, and has many industrial effects.
