History of the Development of Control Technology for Glass Bottle Machines

The glass bottle making machine developed from single drop, double drop to three drops, multiple drops, the bottle machine control technology from mechanical control to electrical control development to digital servo control.

Twenty-five years ago, the bottle production line was in the period of mechanical automation. All the movements of the domestic ranking machine are realized by the mechanical drum, and the synchronization with the associated equipment is achieved by the mechanical transmission.

In the late 1980s, high-performance queue machines were introduced from abroad, and everything from transmission to forming control was computer controlled. The glass bottle industry in China shows a brand new idea. I was working at the Shandong Light Industry Machinery Plant. Since I could not buy a computer chip at home, I would say that I could not buy a SCM chip. I do not know when the SCM came out of the country, but there was a conference in Paris and I was not allowed to sell SCM chips to socialist China. At that time, only a relatively backward Z80 single-board machine was used as a device for synchronizing the phase adjustment of the drive, and finally the microcomputer was used.

In 1988, Intel Corporation of the United States sold the 51 series SCM chips to Hong Kong, which was controlled by the British at that time, and then entered China through some channels, providing the necessary basic conditions for us to develop today's bottle machine control system.

In the early 1990s, we chose the MCS-96 series single-chip microcomputer with better performance from Intel Corporation at that time as the CPU chip of the electronic timing control board. At that time, the development tools were very expensive. They used the STD bus of the Beijing University of Technology to create their own simulation tools, which allowed multiple control units to be controlled online. The design was completed in the mid-1990s until 1998 when it was used in Shandong Shenghua Glass Factory. Single drop material rank machine. The first generation of electronic timing DDS-10 has been recognized by the domestic glass industry since then.
