Infrared thermal imaging technology is widely used in industrial production, power, fire, medical, agricultural and other industries have infrared thermal imaging instruments. The temperature of glass bottles is very high in the production process, and many equipment are working under high temperature. Therefore, it is very important to detect the glass temperature in the equipment and production process in the glass production factory, which is of great significance for the production of high-quality glass. The infrared thermal imaging technology has a very effective and practical value for non-contact temperature detection.

After leaving the tin bath, the solidified glass is sent to a glass annealing furnace, where it is gradually cooled to remove the internal stress. The cooling rate is important to ensure that the glass does not break during the cutting stage. Therefore, frequent and accurate temperature measurements are essential for this application.

Because of the wide range of temperature drop, it is difficult to measure the temperature in annealing furnace. It is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the glass is accurately measured throughout the cooling process to the ambient temperature. Close control of temperature ensures complete elimination of internal stress. Using infrared thermal camera allows a high-resolution thermal image of the glass as it leaves the annealing furnace, helping to ensure consistent product quality and early detection of any process problems. At the same time, the surface measurement of glass also helps to monitor the uniformity of its transverse temperature distribution.

1. Application in glass bottle forming process

1) Blank mold

Uneven distribution of primary mold temperature will lead to many bottle defects, such as uneven thickness. If the operator cannot timely understand the temperature of the primary die, the quality of the product will not be improved. Therefore, the infrared thermal imager can be used to detect the temperature of the primary die, and then the production can be adjusted.

2) Core

Overheat or undercooling of the core will lead to bottle mouth cracks or core adhesive materials. In the double-drop and three-drop bottle making machines, due to the different working conditions of each mold cavity, the adjustment of core cooling air is also different. It is necessary to use infrared thermal camera to measure the temperature, and then make some fine adjustments according to the working conditions, so as to avoid the bottle mouth crack or core adhesive.

3) Mold bottom

The head is the bottom of the primary mold, which is in contact with the glass material for a very short time, and will rise or swing out when not working. The heat dissipation is good. If the temperature difference between the head and the primary mold is too large, the bottom of the bottle will have defects such as deep head printing, skewed head printing and uneven bottom thickness. Therefore, it is necessary to use infrared thermal imager to detect the temperature of the head. If the temperature is too different from that of the primary mold, it needs to be adjusted to some extent.

2. Application of infrared thermal camera in temperature monitoring of transformers in glass factories

Transformer and other electrical equipment are closely related to the production of equipment, once abnormal conditions occur, it will directly cause the factory production equipment to stop running, or even cause catastrophic failure. However, transformers and other electrical equipment can not be close to the measurement when electrified, so the infrared thermal imager can be used for remote measurement, effectively prevent sudden failure.

The appearance of infrared thermal camera technology brings convenience to many industries and provides a strong guarantee for the safety of production. Yoseen infrared thermal imager is widely used in many industries, with accurate temperature measurement, clear imaging, stable performance, high cost performance and good after-sales service guarantee.
