Embodiment Construction

[0018] The flat glass to be tempered, having the desired shape and size, is placed on a conveyor belt consisting of rollers 4 of the loading table 1 , whereby the glass load is conveyed to the conveyor belt of rollers 5 in the furnace 2 . Heating of the glass load takes place, for example, via resistors 3 arranged above and below the conveyor belt 5 . Other types of known heat sources may also be used. One example that may be mentioned is the convection blower. The heating element 3 may comprise both a radiant heating element and a convective heating element as a combination.

[0019] For heating control and other purposes described subsequently, it is advantageous to have as comprehensive a knowledge of the information indicative of the loading, in particular the loading rate, position, shape and size of the glass panels. Thus, in figure 1 In the embodiment shown, towards the downstream end of the loading table 1, a short section of the conveyor belt is enclosed within a h...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring safety glass production or controlling a treatment process, such as a tempering process. Information representing a load of glass panels is used in controlling a treatment process, such as heating of glass panels, or in monitoring production. The information, which includes at least one of the following: shape, size, and position, is read with one or more cameras ( 6 ). This is possible as glass is made visible by means of reflected light as high intensity light is applied to the glass surface. The line camera ( 6 ) is used for receiving low intensity background light radiation incident through the glass conveying plane, a substantial increase in its intensity, as light is reflected by glass, being deciphered as glass.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the production of safety glass or controlling a process by means of information indicative of glass panel loading, the method comprising conveying flat glass through at least one process and, prior to the process, reading representative glass panels load and is used to control production or process parameters or to record and monitor data related thereto. [0002] The invention also relates to an apparatus for monitoring the production of safety glass or controlling the process by means of information indicative of the loading of the glass panels, said apparatus comprising a furnace in which the glass panels are heated for tempering or thermal strengthening A heating device, a loading table, a roller conveyor for conveying the glass panels from the loading table into the furnace, and a detector located above or below the conveyor belt to read information indicating the loading of the glass pan...
