METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A GLASS-MELTING FURNACE WITH A WEAR DETECTOR Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC C03B5/42 F27D21/00 B28B7/16 

FIELD: glass industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a glass-melting furnace. A method is intended for producing a glass furnace containing: a refractory part (10); a waveguide (12) containing a measuring part (20) passing into the refractory part; an interrogating device (14) connected to the input (12_p) of the waveguide and made with the possibility of sending an interrogating signal (I) to the said input. The measuring part of the waveguide includes at least one sensor (22_i), made with the possibility of sending a response signal (R_i) to the interrogating device in response to the supply of the said interrogating signal. The interrogating device is designed with the ability to analyze the response signal and send a message (M) in accordance with the specified analysis. The method includes the following steps: A) placing a temporary part inside the mold, made with the possibility, after manufacturing the refractory part and removing the temporary part, to leave space for the cavity to accommodate the said measuring part of the waveguide; B) preparing the feedstock and introducing the specified feedstock into the mold so that the specified temporary part is included in it, respectively, to obtain the workpiece; C) hardening of the specified workpiece to form the refractory part; D) removal of the temporary part to create the specified cavity; E) assembly of the refractory part with other components of the furnace and, before or after the specified assembly, the introduction of the measuring part into the cavity and the connection of the interrogating device with the input (12_p) of the waveguide.

EFFECT: ensuring the opportunity to evaluate, for all areas of the furnace, continuously, the remaining thickness of the refractory part of the glass furnace.
