Embodiment 1

[0065] Example 1 - Pulling Roll Life

[0066] In a first example, pulling roll life was evaluated as a function of hardness. Such as figure 1 As shown, the longest pulling roll life is obtained when the average durometer hardness for a particular type of pulling roll is about 41. The longest average pulling roll life was obtained when the average durometer hardness was about 44. figure 1 The dot plot in shows the relationship between life and durometer hardness when the shaft is replaced.

Embodiment 2

[0067] Example 2 - Relationship Between Bulk Density and Hardness

[0068] In a second example, a series of pulling rolls were prepared and evaluated, as detailed in Table 1 below. For each row in Table 1, the sample refractory disks were compressed to a specific bulk density. The durometer hardness of each compressed sample was measured and averaged at six points along the length of the roll.

[0069] figure 2 The middle curve shows the relationship between the material's average durometer hardness and bulk density. Using this relationship, a roll having a predetermined range of durometer hardness can be manufactured by determining a corresponding range of bulk densities. The upper and lower limits in the middle curve show the predicted limits for each subsequent durometer value at various levels of bulk density.

[0070] For example, material A shown in Table 1 is at 0.9-1.2g / cm 3 The detection is performed under various bulk density conditions in the range. The har...

Embodiment 3-

[0074] Embodiment 3-comparative example

[0075] In a comparative example, an assembled knurled sheet product with a fixed compressed length could be produced. A number of heat resistant discs can be selected for the fixed length and the compression force adjusted as needed so that the discs are accommodated in the fixed length. The varying compressive force required to accommodate the disks in a fixed length results in varying hardness on the surface of the assembled knurled sheet product.

[0076] Rather, one aspect of the invention involves selecting a weight of refractory disc that, when disposed within a specific volume of a pulling roll, achieves a target overall density. As described in various embodiments of the present invention, such methods can provide improved uniformity and controlled hardness over conventional methods and materials.

Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a pulling roll used in manufacturing a sheet glass is provided to adjust hardness and improve the uniformity of a pulling roll. CONSTITUTION: If a disc group is set in order to fill a disk group of fixed diameter and fixed length, a group of a thermal resistance disc having combined weight and a suitable outer diameter is selected in order to the bulk density of 0.9 g / cm^3-1.2g / cm^3. A thermal resistance disk group is assembled in the shaft. One or more first and second fittings are attached to the shaft.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 141,442, filed December 30, 2008, entitled "Method for Producing Pulling Rolls For Use In Manufacturing Sheet Glass" priority. technical field [0003] This invention relates to the manufacture of flat glass. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing pulling rolls used in the manufacture of flat glass by, for example, overflow down-draw fusion. Background technique [0004] Pulling rolls are used in the manufacture of flat glass to apply tension to the glass ribbon used to form the glass sheet, thereby controlling the nominal thickness of the glass sheet. For example, in overflow down-draw fusion (see US Patent Nos. 3,338,696 and 3682,609 to Dockerty), a pulling roll is placed downstream of the tip or root of the fusion tube to condition the formed glass ribbon away from the fusion tube speed, thus determining the nominal thickness of the fin...
