Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of float glass manufacturing, in particular to an auxiliary electric heating structure for a float line tin bath and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In float glass production, the tin bath is one of the three major thermal equipment, and the quality of the tin bath seriously affects the quality of the glass product. The working principle of the tin bath is that the glass liquid flowing from the channel is uniformly spread on the molten metal tin liquid, and under the protection of the protective gas, the glass liquid is controlled in the required thickness range by using electric heating and edge puller, while ensuring the uniform and flat spreading of the glass. Under this process, the use of electric heating plays a crucial role.

[0003] The tin bath area generally adopts a top plug type heating element electric heating form, which is controlled in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and is used to control the temperature and viscosity of the glass liquid in different areas, so as to control the thinning extension of the glass plate. In particular in the field of electronic ultra-thin production, the thickness difference of the glass is required to be high, and the wave degree and diopter are required to be high, and the transverse and longitudinal temperature field of the forming area is required to be higher. Unreasonable temperature distribution is easy to cause wave degree and diopter to be bad or even exceed the standard, which affects the surface quality and optical performance of the glass.

[0004] In addition, in the field of high-aluminum electronic glass, especially in the field of two-strong (lithium aluminum silicon glass) electronic glass production, in order to meet the requirements of ultra-thin forming, the use of electric heating is more, especially for the important forming area, the opening of electric heating can reach more than 80%, and higher surface temperature and opening are easy to cause the energy attenuation of the heating element or the fracture of the heating element, thereby seriously affecting the thinning process and apparent optical performance of the glass plate, causing the thickness to exceed the standard, and the wave degree and diopter to exceed the standard.

[0005] In float glass production, there is no very effective means to deal with the above temperature process control problems and heating capacity attenuation problems, and in most cases, cold modification is adopted to deal with the problems, which takes a long time and requires a large investment, and is not conducive to economic production.

[0080] Example one

[0081] A 70T / D electronic glass production line, in the production of a strong high-aluminum silicon ultra-thin electronic glass, the surface micro-ripple of the glass plate is relatively poor, when the thickness is 0.65mm, the surface micro-ripple is generally 0.20-0.25μm / 20mm, through the point light source detector, there are tin bath defects such as rain-like on the surface of the glass plate, the surface is similar to a row of stripe defects, the main reason is that during glass forming, due to mechanical stress problem of edge finishing machine or uneven temperature field, resulting in glass liquid forming defects, through the adjustment of electric heating temperature system, there is no improvement, in order to solve this problem, a pair of auxiliary electric heating structure is installed in the heavy heating area of the tin bath, such as before the 4th edge finishing machine, before the 6th edge finishing machine and before the 8th edge finishing machine, the power of a pair of electric heating is opened about 15-25kw, through the temperature effect of the auxiliary electric heating structure, the ripple is obviously improved, and finally the ripple is stabilized at 0.10-0.15μm / 20mm, the surface rain-like stripe defects are obviously reduced and lightened, meeting the qualified product requirements.

[0082] Example two

[0083] During the production of a strong lithium aluminum silicon electronic glass on a 50T / D electronic glass production line, due to the extremely easy crystallization of lithium aluminum silicon, there are many crystallization defects in the glass plate. In order to reduce the defects of the glass plate, the temperature of the glass plate is increased by increasing the power of the silicon-carbon rod to more than 90%. Due to the high opening of the electric heating, the maximum power of the silicon-carbon rod in the important forming area is generally attenuated by more than 50% after long-term use, and the maximum area is attenuated by more than 70%. As a result, the thickness and thickness difference of the produced electronic ultra-thin glass cannot be controlled, and the thickness difference increases from ≤0.02mm to ≥0.05mm, which does not meet the requirement of maximum thickness difference ≤0.03mm. After adding an auxiliary electric heating structure, the thickness difference is effectively controlled, as follows:

[0084] (1) Rectangular stainless steel is used as a cooling water pipe, and the size of the rectangular steel is 100mm*60*4500mm*6mm. The welded rectangular steel is wrapped with 0.5mm thick pearl wool and placed in the mold 15;

[0085] (2) The alumina ceramic pipe is installed in the mold 15 and fixed, and the size of the alumina ceramic pipe is 50mm*1120mm*2.5mm;

[0086] (3) Lubricating oil is applied inside the mold 15, the raw materials for making the thermal stability element 2 are poured into the mold 15, a small vibration rod is vibrated uniformly and densely, and the mold 15 is placed outside the tin bath with an environmental temperature of 38±5℃. After 7 days of placement and curing, the mold 15 is removed;

[0087] (4) The connecting body 3 is placed on the driving mechanism and fixed in position, and the fixed groove is started to be installed. The nitrogen inlet pipe diameter is φ15mm, and the fixed groove is made of stainless steel square groove;

[0088] (5) high-density U-shaped silicon-carbon rod is inserted into the through hole of the alumina ceramic tube, the silicon-carbon rod is high-density silicon-carbon rod, φ40mm, the maximum heating power is 45±5kw, the heating part 102 is located at the head 1000mm position, and the total length is 2250mm;

[0089] (6) three pairs of auxiliary electric heating structures are installed before the first, fifth and eighth edge rollers in the total 16 pairs of edge rollers in the tin bath production line, the auxiliary electric heating structure before the first edge roller is used for heating the glass plate temperature, reducing the crystallization defects caused by low glass liquid temperature, and the auxiliary electric heating structures before the fifth and eighth edge rollers are used for heating and thinning the glass plate in the important thickness thinning area.

[0090] Table 1 is an embodiment of the auxiliary electric heating structure in the tin bath in the float line under multiple production environments:

[0091] During normal production, the thickness difference can be well controlled by increasing or decreasing the electric power because the electric heating power is normal, during the production of 0.55mm, the maximum thickness of the transverse glass plate is 0.555mm, the minimum thickness is 0.541mm, and the thickness difference is 0.014mm, which meets the standard of 0.03mm thickness difference;

[0092] During the electric heating attenuation period, the electric heating attenuation in the forming area is serious, which makes it difficult to control the temperature field of the glass plate, the important thinning area cannot meet the electric heating requirements, and the thickness difference is seriously out of standard, which cannot be adjusted, wherein the maximum thickness is 0.607mm, the minimum thickness is 0.552mm, and the thickness difference is 0.055mm;

[0093] After increasing the auxiliary electric heating, the maximum electric power of each pair can be increased by 80kw, due to the increase of the electric heating capacity, the glass thinning capacity is improved, the thickness difference gradually recovers to be stable, the maximum thickness is 0.563mm, the minimum thickness is 0.542mm, and the thickness difference is 0.021mm, and stable production is realized.
