Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to manufacturing glass articles.
  • the present disclosure is an improved system, method and apparatus for a sweep-out assembly having an improved mounting technique and increased resistance to high temperatures.
  • a gob of molten glass is typically delivered to the blank mold where it is, partially formed and cooled. Then the blank article is transferred to the blow mold where final molding takes place to shape the glass to the mold design. Transfer of the finished article from the blow mold is done by the take out mechanism that moves the article to the dead plate. A sweep-out mechanism moves the containers from the dead plate to the machine conveyor belt to be transferred for further processing.
  • the article can be transferred by a transfer unit on to the cross conveyor, then pushed into an annealing oven.
  • the hot glass articles are extremely fragile and susceptible to thermal and physical stress, contamination, and other damage caused by contact with the transfer equipment or handling fixtures.
  • annealing or other post-forming process steps may not fully remove added stress concentrations or risers and other defects in the hot glass articles caused by the handling fixtures or transfer equipment.
  • One specific device for handling hot glass articles is a sweep-out assembly that typically uses nonmetallic pads to contact the hot glass articles.
  • Such an assembly is typically used to transfer glassware from one or more stationary positions, such as a mold output or dead plate, to a narrow, single line conveyor, known as a machine conveyor.
  • the sweep-out assembly may impart motion in several directions, e.g. to properly space hot glass articles on the machine conveyor.
  • a typical sweep-out assembly comprises a mounting bar, a set of metallic fingers mounted to the mounting bar and a set of nonmetallic pads attached to the fingers.
  • the pads are formed of plastics or resins with embedded plastic fibers.
  • the pads provide a non- stick surface that minimizes thermal or physical damage when the sweep-out assembly contacts the hot glass article.
  • Existing sweep-out assemblies suffer several problems. First, the fingers tend to sag causing the sweep-out assembly to incorrectly contact the hot glass articles. Second, plastic and resin based pads can deteriorate in high temperatures allowing metal portions of the sweep-out assembly to contact the hot glass articles. These problems can lead to defects in the glass, misalignment of glass articles on the conveyor or other problems.
  • the solution to this problem is to replace the fingers of the sweep-out assembly, requiring the sweep-out assembly to be taken off-line for a period of time. Because a sweep-out assembly may move 350-550 bottles a minute, a short run with a defective sweep-out assembly and the time required to replace the fingers can lead to significant product loss.
  • Embodiments described herein provide sweep-out assemblies that eliminate or reduce the problems of previous sweep-out assemblies.
  • sweep-out assemblies can include a pocket mounts for mounting pocket assemblies that prevent or eliminate sag.
  • sweep-out assemblies can use graphite pads which have a significantly longer life span in the high temperatures typically encountered during the manufacture of glass articles.
  • Embodiments described herein can incorporate pocket mounts pocket brackets that minimize pocket sagging after hours of operation within a hot environment.
  • a guide member of a pocket bracket can include a slotted hole mounting design that provides for a quick change action so that a worn pocket assembly can be exchanged for a new one and minimize system downtime.
  • the slotted hole mounting design also provides the ability to use the same sweep-out pocket in right and left handed machine configurations.
  • Embodiments described herein can also utilize a nonmetallic material for the glass contact pad on the sweep-out pocket to provide improved operation of the assembly in the hot environment.
  • the sweep-out assembly comprises a support member that mounts to an individual section machine on one side and has a set of pocket mounts configured to support a spaced array of pocket assemblies on the other (second) side.

  • Pocket assemblies can be easily coupled to a support member.
  • On embodiment of a method of coupling a pocket assembly to a support member of a sweep-out assembly can comprise: inserting a first securing member into a first pair of generally vertically aligned rail holes defined by a first and second rail extending from the support member; inserting a guide member of a pocket assembly into a generally horizontal guide member gap of complementary width formed by the first and second rail until a portion of the first securing member is received in a slot open to one end of the guide member; aligning a guide member through hole in the guide member with a second pair of generally vertically aligned rail holes defined by the first and second rail; inserting a quick release securing member through the second pair of rail holes and the through hole.
