Description
The present invention relates to a glass melting furnace capable of dissolving cullet or glass raw materials using electricity, and more particularly, eliminating the use of the crucible, thereby eliminating the risk and productivity degradation caused by the use of the crucible, and continuous operation for 24 hours. This does not require, and relates to a glass melting furnace with significantly improved productivity and safety compared to existing small glass melting furnaces.
Melting furnaces used to process glass on a small scale are generally arranged in stacks of refractory bricks with a large number of crucibles, and then burned with heavy oil or gas to heat the crucible with the heat of combustion. Dissolve to form a glass melt.
However, in the case of the melting furnace using heavy oil or gas as an energy source, since the heat of combustion is not uniformly distributed in the kiln, efficient melting operation cannot be performed, and soot generated during the combustion of heavy oil or gas pollutes the air. It has been the cause of complaints. In addition, the crucible mounted inside the furnace is easily broken during use. If the crucible is broken, a series of crucible replacement operations, such as torn down a part of the furnace, remove the damaged crucible and spilled molten glass, and then add a preheated new crucible This is not only dangerous, but has also been a major factor in productivity deterioration due to the inability to use the furnace during working hours. Furthermore, in the case of crucible furnaces, the crucible's damage greatly varies depending on the quality of the crucible and the proficiency of the melting technician who handles the crucible, resulting in a large variation in the yield, and it becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate skilled technicians who can handle the crucible Has been a huge burden on the management of the glass melting industry. Moreover, in recent years, the price of heavy oil or gas used as an energy source has risen steeply, making it difficult to achieve profitability with glass melting furnaces using conventional heavy oil or gas.
As a means for solving some of the problems of the crucible furnace using heavy oil or gas, as shown in FIG. 4, the
Since the
On the other hand, the continuous glass melting furnace which continuously melts in a melting furnace by the method of melt | dissolving glass, without using a crucible, and conveys a molten glass to a clarification chamber is known. This continuous glass melting furnace is suitable for mass production for 24 hours of continuous operation. In addition, since a separate clarification chamber must be provided, the equipment of the glass melting furnace is enlarged, and some glass overflows due to continuous work, and resources are wasted. there is a problem.
Therefore, it is difficult to use a continuous glass melting furnace for the production of multi-product small-scale hand-made glass products, which have a very small amount of glass dissolved at a time of several tons or less and cannot be continuously operated for 24 hours due to manual work.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, to solve the problem of the combustion exhaust gas without using heavy oil or gas, and to solve the above problems due to the use of the crucible without using the crucible An object of the present invention is to provide a glass melting furnace capable of obtaining a constant melting quality regardless of the skill of the melting technician.
As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention comprises a frame, an exterior wall in which thermal insulation bricks are laminated inside the frame, and a refractory wall in which fire bricks are laminated inside the exterior wall, and the cullet or glass is formed therein. A kiln in which a space for dissolving the raw material is formed, and a blowout port for taking out the molten glass is formed on the front surface thereof; An electrode installed to protrude downward from the inside of the kiln and directly contacting the cullet or glass raw material to dissolve through resistance heat; It is provided in the upper portion of the inside of the kiln so as not to contact the cullet or glass raw material provides a glass melting furnace including a heating element for melting the cullet or glass raw material or maintain the temperature of the molten glass with the electrode. . The electrode may be made of molybdenum or tin oxide electrode, and the heating element may be used as long as it can be heated at high temperature using electricity such as a carbon heating rod or cantal.
Further, in the present invention, the refractory wall portion in direct contact with the glass melt is characterized by consisting of an electric pole refractory layer and a fire resistant castable layer cast between the electric pole refractory layer and the exterior wall. The pole refractories layer may be composed of a pole refractories with high resistance to molten glass, such as alumina-zirconia pole pole refractories.
In the present invention, the part of the refractory wall which is not in direct contact with the glass melt is characterized in that it consists of a siliceous refractory brick layer having low thermal expansion upon temperature change.
The glass melting furnace of this invention has the following effects.
First, the problem of combustion exhaust gas can be solved by not using heavy oil or gas.
Second, since the crucible is not used, various problems such as energy waste due to breakage and replacement of the crucible, productivity decrease due to work interruption, and injury to workers can be solved.
Third, after the glass melting operation is completed, the carbon heating rod can be used to insulate and clarify the molten glass, thus eliminating the need for a separate clarification chamber, and miniaturizing the glass melting furnace. It is much easier to work with than a furnace and does not require the same high working proficiency as a crucible furnace for night warming or melting.
Fourth, since the glass melting operation does not need to be performed continuously for 24 hours, overflow of the molten glass does not occur, and it can be particularly useful in the small glass melting industry for producing small quantities of various kinds.
