Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tempered glass production technology, specifically to a tempered glass positioning device and a tempered glass production process. Background Technology
[0002] The core strengthening mechanism of tempered glass lies in the compressive stress layer formed on its surface. This stress state effectively counteracts external impact forces, a characteristic achieved through precise heating and rapid cooling cycles in a tempering furnace. Ordinary annealed glass, due to its uniform internal stress distribution, typically has a bending strength between 40 and 60 MPa. After tempering, the glass surface rapidly contracts to form a compressive stress layer, while a tensile stress layer forms internally, increasing the overall strength to 120 to 150 MPa. Furthermore, when tempered glass breaks, it forms honeycomb-shaped, blunt-angled small particles, significantly reducing the risk of cuts. Therefore, the tempering furnace is an indispensable core piece of equipment in tempered glass production.
[0003] As per existing technology, patent CN103274586B discloses a glass tempering furnace, which includes an upper furnace chamber, a lower furnace chamber, a transmission roller conveyor, heating wires, and a radiant plate. It also includes a radiant tube assembly and a convection tube. The radiant tube assembly is suspended inside the upper furnace chamber and positioned below the heating wires. The radiant tube assembly is composed of several parallel radiant tubes connected side-by-side. The convection tube is suspended below the radiant tube, with its air inlet connected to a fan. Air jet holes are provided on the convection tube. This glass tempering furnace uses heat-resistant stainless steel radiant tubes instead of traditional radiant plates, increasing the surface area of the radiant surface by approximately 60% and resulting in faster heat transfer. The convection tube uses a fan for air supply, effectively controlling glass deformation.
[0004] The glass tempering furnace described in the aforementioned patent still has certain shortcomings: Although the aforementioned glass tempering furnace uses heat-resistant stainless steel radiant tubes, which replace traditional radiant plates for faster heat transfer and effectively control glass deformation, it lacks positioning restrictions for the glass. Precise positioning is crucial when tempering ordinary glass in the furnace. Its core function is to prevent displacement of the glass during heating, softening, cooling, solidification, and transport, ensuring that the glass remains in the preset position. This measure guarantees a uniform distribution of compressive stress on the glass surface and tensile stress within, while maintaining product dimensional accuracy and surface quality, avoiding defects such as scratches, warping, or spontaneous breakage caused by displacement. Without positioning, the glass may shift due to high-temperature softening and deformation, transport vibration deviation, or uneven thermal stress, leading to unbalanced stress distribution, dimensional deviations, and ultimately significantly reducing the product qualification rate. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a tempered glass positioning device that prevents the glass from shifting inside the tempering furnace.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tempered glass positioning device, comprising a lower furnace chamber, an upper furnace chamber, a feeding transmission roller conveyor, and a discharging transmission roller conveyor. Support frames are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the lower furnace chamber. A connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the middle position of the support frames. Multiple equidistantly distributed rotating blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft. Limiting rods are slidably connected to both ends of each rotating block. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod away from the lower furnace chamber. A positioning frame is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod near the middle position of the lower furnace chamber. A rotating shaft is installed on the side of the positioning frame away from the limiting rod. A positioning roller is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. The positioning roller is located in the gap between ceramic roller shafts within the lower furnace chamber. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating block located in the middle position of the lower furnace chamber away from the positioning frame. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the positioning frame.
[0007] Furthermore, a compression fixing plate is slidably connected inside the positioning frame. The side wall of the compression fixing plate and the inner wall of the positioning frame are both provided with mounting grooves that match the rotating shaft. Multiple sets of guide blocks are slidably connected to the middle position of the compression fixing plate. The two ends of the guide blocks are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides inside the positioning frame. Multiple sets of threaded rods are fixedly connected to the side of the positioning frame away from the limiting rod. One end of the threaded rod passes through the compression fixing plate and is threadedly connected to a nut.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the positioning frame is provided with multiple replacement slots, the number and position of which are matched with the number and position of the positioning rollers, and the width of the replacement slots is greater than the diameter of the positioning rollers.
[0009] Furthermore, a motor is provided at one end of the connecting shaft, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and an installation plate is provided at the bottom of the motor and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower furnace. An inclined support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate, and the side wall of the inclined support plate is fixedly connected to the lower furnace.
[0010] Furthermore, guide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the feed transmission roller conveyor, and a slide plate is slidably connected to the top of the guide rails. A fixed hinge block is fixedly connected to the end of the slide plate away from the positioning frame, and a slide rail is fixedly connected to the end of the slide plate near the positioning frame. A slider is slidably connected to the top of the slide rail, and a movable hinge block is sleeved on the end of the slider near the middle of the lower furnace. A guide plate is hinged to the end of the movable hinge block away from the slide plate, and the other end of the guide plate is hinged to the fixed hinge block. A spring is provided inside the movable hinge block, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable hinge block.
[0011] Furthermore, a positioning block is provided on the side of the movable hinge block near the positioning frame, and the positioning block is fixedly connected to the movable hinge block.
[0012] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed hinge block near the slider. The bottom of the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the slide plate. A bolt is threadedly connected to the middle position of the slide plate. The lower end of the bolt passes through the slide plate and abuts against the top of the guide rail.
[0013] This invention also provides a tempered glass manufacturing process, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Based on the width of the glass, start the cylinder to push the positioning frame to move until the positioning roller just contacts the edge of the glass.
[0014] Step 2: Move the position of the slide plate and move the hinge block so that the positioning block abuts against the pressing and fixing plate, thereby connecting the positioning frame and the guide plate to guide the position of the glass.
[0015] Step 3: Place the cut, polished, cleaned and dried glass sheet on the feed conveyor rollers and start the entire equipment. After being guided by the guide plate, the glass will be guided between the two positioning frames, so that the glass accurately enters the ceramic rollers in the lower furnace. At the same time, the positioning rollers in the furnace contact the two sides of the glass. Through the sliding guide of the limit rod and the stable thrust of the cylinder, the lateral displacement of the glass is restricted, ensuring that the glass moves along the preset path.
[0016] Step 4: The glass is heated evenly in the upper and lower furnace chambers, with the temperature controlled at 620-650℃ to reach the glass softening point. During the heating process, the positioning rollers continuously position the glass laterally to prevent displacement caused by high-temperature softening and ensure uniform distribution of thermal stress on the glass surface and inside.
[0017] Step 5: After heating is complete, the glass enters the cooling section, where the glass surface is rapidly cooled by high-pressure cold air at a rate of 100-200℃ / s. During the cooling process, the positioning frame remains operational until the glass temperature drops to near room temperature, ensuring that the glass does not shift during the curing process and forms a stable stress structure.
[0018] Step 6: After the glass has cooled, it can be sent out via the discharge conveyor rollers.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This tempered glass positioning device uses a cylinder to push the positioning frame, causing the positioning roller to fit against the edge of the glass. Combined with the sliding guide of the limiting rod, it effectively restricts the lateral displacement of the glass. The positioning roller is located in the gap between the ceramic rollers, which does not interfere with the normal conveying of the glass and ensures stable contact between the glass and the positioning roller. The rotating block can adjust the angle of the entire positioning frame. When the positioning roller is damaged, the entire positioning frame can be rotated out between the upper and lower furnace chambers after the upper furnace chamber is raised to facilitate the replacement of the positioning roller. The positioning frame and positioning roller reduce defects such as scratches and warping caused by glass displacement, thus ensuring product quality.
[0020] 2. This tempered glass positioning device, through the cooperation of the pressing fixing plate, threaded rod and nut, can flexibly adjust the installation tightness of the positioning roller, ensuring that the positioning roller is stable and does not loosen during operation, maintaining positioning accuracy. At the same time, it is easy to replace positioning rollers of different specifications according to needs. The operation is simple and efficient, improving the adaptability and maintenance convenience of the device.
[0021] 3. This tempered glass positioning device has a replacement slot at the top of the positioning frame that matches the positioning roller and is wider. The positioning roller can be quickly removed or installed without disassembling the positioning frame, which greatly shortens the replacement and maintenance time, reduces downtime costs, and improves production efficiency and equipment operation and maintenance convenience.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 9 A tempered glass positioning device includes a lower furnace chamber 1, an upper furnace chamber 2, a feeding drive roller conveyor 3, and a discharging drive roller conveyor 4. Support frames 21 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the lower furnace chamber 1. A connecting shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the support frame 21. Multiple equidistantly distributed rotating blocks 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 19. Limiting rods 24 are slidably connected to both ends of the rotating blocks 20. A limiting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 24 away from the lower furnace chamber 1. A positioning frame 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 24 near the middle position of the lower furnace chamber 1. A rotating shaft 27 is installed on the side of the positioning frame 23 away from the limiting rod 24. A positioning roller 28 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 27. The positioning roller 28 is located in the gap between the ceramic roller shafts inside the lower furnace chamber 1. A cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating block 20 located in the middle position of the lower furnace chamber 1 away from the positioning frame 23. The output end of the cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 23.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides a tempered glass manufacturing process, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Based on the width of the glass, start the cylinder 22 to push the positioning frame 23 to move until the positioning roller 28 just contacts the edge of the glass.
[0027] Step 2: Move the position of the slide plate 6 and move the movable hinge block 10 so that the positioning block 14 abuts against the pressing and fixing plate 29, thereby connecting the positioning frame 23 with the guide plate 9 to guide the position of the glass.
[0028] Step 3: Place the cut, polished, cleaned and dried glass sheet on the feed conveyor roller 3 and start the whole equipment. After being guided by the guide plate 9, the glass will be guided between the two positioning frames 23, so that the glass accurately enters the ceramic roller chute of the lower furnace 1. At the same time, the positioning roller 28 in the furnace contacts the two sides of the glass. Through the sliding guide of the limit rod 24 and the stable thrust of the cylinder 22, the lateral displacement of the glass is restricted, ensuring that the glass moves along the preset path.
[0029] Step 4: The upper furnace chamber 2 and the lower furnace chamber 1 heat the glass evenly, and the temperature is controlled at 620-650℃ to reach the softening point of the glass. During the heating process, the positioning roller 28 continuously positions the glass laterally to prevent displacement caused by high temperature softening and to ensure that the thermal stress distribution on the glass surface and inside is uniform.
[0030] Step 5: After heating is completed, the glass enters the cooling section, where the glass surface is rapidly cooled by high-pressure cold air at a rate of 100-200℃ / s. During the cooling process, the positioning frame 23 remains in operation until the glass temperature drops to near room temperature, ensuring that the glass does not shift during the curing process and forms a stable stress structure.
[0031] Step 6: After the glass has cooled, it can be sent out through the discharge conveyor roller 4.
[0032] The tempered glass positioning device and tempered glass production process of this invention use a cylinder 22 to push a positioning frame 23, causing the positioning roller 28 to fit against the edge of the glass. Combined with the sliding guide of the limiting rod 24, this effectively restricts the lateral displacement of the glass. The positioning roller 28 is located in the gap between the ceramic rollers in the lower furnace 1, which neither interferes with the normal conveying of the glass nor prevents the glass from being in stable contact with the positioning roller 28. The rotating block 20 can adjust the angle of the entire positioning frame 23. If the positioning roller 28 is damaged, the entire positioning frame 23 can be rotated out from between the upper furnace 2 and the lower furnace 1 after the upper furnace 2 is raised, so that the positioning roller 28 can be replaced. The positioning frame 23 and the positioning roller 28 reduce defects such as scratches and warping caused by glass displacement, thus ensuring product quality.
