Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glass substrate manufacturing technology, and relates to a design method and related apparatus for the structure of a glass substrate manufacturing furnace and the configuration of electrodes. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing of flat panel displays such as TFT-LCDs (Thin Film Transistor Displays) and PDPs (Plasma Display Panels), glass substrates are typically manufactured using an overflow-pull method. Glass substrate furnaces generally employ a coupled heating system of a combustion lance and an electric flux system. The electric flux uses alternating current to prevent electrolysis of the molten glass and electrode oxidation. Electric melting technology has a much higher thermal efficiency than flame technology. The energy release of electric melting technology is related to the conductivity of the molten glass itself. The conductivity of glass is a function of temperature (related to the composition of the raw material), and the conductivity at room temperature is approximately 10. -13 ~10 -15 Ω -1 cm -1 (Insulator), with a molten state conductivity of approximately 0.1–1.0 Ω. -1 cm -1 (Conductor). Under the action of an alternating electric field, conductive ions (mainly alkali metals such as Na, K, and Li) collide and rub against each other to generate Joule heat, which heats the glass to achieve melting, clarification, and homogenization.
[0003] Controlling the surface load of the electrode is one of the key design considerations; the surface load should not exceed 0.3 A / cm. 2 The erosion of the electrodes by the glass and the alternating electrolysis of the electrodes are related to the movement of the glass; high-temperature, high-speed molten glass can cause excessively rapid erosion of refractory bricks; the current density and lifespan of the electrode surface are closely related to the tendency of bubbles. Constant current control keeps the current constant, thus keeping the temperature constant. If the temperature / conductivity increases, the current tends to increase when the voltage remains unchanged. The constant current meter automatically lowers the output voltage through feedback signals to maintain a constant current, thus reducing the output power / heat generation of electric heating; conversely, it also reduces the temperature, thus achieving automatic temperature control within a certain range. Constant current control is unaffected by the addition of raw materials, accelerating the melting of raw materials and improving the melting quality.
[0004] The kiln structure (including liquid level), electrode size, electrode configuration, and power supply scheme are the core of kiln design; the limiting relationship between electrode power supply and electrode configuration is crucial to ensuring melting quality. Extraction rate and melting quality are two separate technical issues. The extraction rate must be based on melting quality (related to the kiln's melting capacity), which is closely related to melting quality and effective melting rate. To ensure melting quality, the energy consumption per unit extraction rate (residence time × electrode power) should be equivalent to that of the reference kiln. Shorter residence time results in higher average electrode power, and fewer electrode pairs also result in higher average electrode power. Residence time can be as short as 1.36 days or even shorter, but the electrode power needs to be increased significantly to meet the melting capacity requirements. When power (current) increases abnormally, electrode edge effects and electric field interference effects must be considered, which simulation software currently cannot achieve.
[0005] Kiln design should reference mature production lines, selecting lines with large process margins to improve process adjustment efficiency and reduce initial waste. Traditional melting rate calculation methods can only evaluate the numerical relationship between the known output and melting area of a specific kiln, and are unrelated to melting quality. They cannot explain the fundamental reasons for different melting rates among kilns with the same melting area. Traditional melting rate calculations cannot be used for kiln melting capacity design.
[0006] The temperature gradient distribution in the material mountain area varies across different reference kilns, which is related to the kiln structure, residence time, and electrode power allocation (to meet melting capacity). The shape and operating mode of the material mountain differ significantly depending on the extraction rate; the current field also varies considerably depending on the electrode structure and configuration. These differences cannot be realistically reproduced by current software, and there is no logical basis for subjectively judging pressure loss. The fundamental cause of pressure loss is the superposition of currents between electrode groups due to the electric field interference effect, and more specifically, the need for higher power to achieve melting quality within a limited residence time. Current kiln simulations cannot achieve automatic optimization; they rely on trial and error, have long calculation cycles, and are inefficient. They only verify trends and cannot objectively and accurately judge the consistency of convection circulation, temperature gradient, and circulation speed (especially when structural dimensions differ, the error is uncontrollable).
[0007] In recent years, to improve production line efficiency, glass substrates have become increasingly larger and have higher lead-out rates. To meet the demands of higher generations and higher lead-out rates, there is an urgent need to develop a design method for the structure of glass substrate manufacturing furnaces and electrode configurations. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems that the existing kiln structure and electrode configuration design cannot meet the requirements of higher generation and higher extraction volume, and that the evaluation criteria for new kiln design optimization are subjective. This invention provides a design method and related apparatus for the structure and electrode configuration of glass substrate manufacturing kilns.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0010] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a design method for the structure of a glass substrate manufacturing furnace and the configuration of electrodes, comprising the following steps:
[0011] A reference kiln is selected, and equivalent relationships for melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect are established based on the relevant parameters of the reference kiln.
[0012] Based on the equivalent relationships of melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect of the reference kiln, the relevant parameters for designing the kiln structure and electrode configuration are calculated.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a design system for the structure of a glass substrate manufacturing furnace and the configuration of electrodes, comprising:
[0014] The equivalence relation module is used to select a reference kiln and establish equivalence relations for melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect based on the relevant parameters of the reference kiln.
[0015] The design module is used to calculate the relevant parameters of the designed kiln structure and electrode configuration based on the equivalent relationships of melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect of the reference kiln.
[0016] Thirdly, the present invention provides a computer device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the method described above.
[0017] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described above.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This invention discloses a design method and related apparatus for the structure and electrode configuration of a glass substrate manufacturing furnace. By acquiring parameters such as the design drawdown amount, liquid level, furnace length, furnace width, electrode size, number of electrode pairs, and configuration (installation distribution) of a reference furnace, equivalent relationships for melting capacity, electrode interference effect, and electrode edge effect are established. Based on these relationships, parameters such as the liquid level, furnace length, furnace width, electrode size, number of electrode pairs, and configuration (installation distribution) of the designed furnace are calculated, thereby completing the design of a novel furnace structure and electrode configuration. This invention, based on the reference furnace structure and electrode configuration and the equivalence of melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect, establishes a design benchmark for furnace structure and electrode configuration that improves drawdown amount, while also considering electrode interference and edge effects. This meets the technical requirements of high efficiency and high melting capacity, thus satisfying the needs of higher generations and higher drawdown amounts. It enables the optimization and evaluation criteria for novel furnace design to be targeted, digitized, and parameterized. Attached Figure Description

[0069] See Figure 5 This invention discloses a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the design method for the structure of the glass substrate manufacturing furnace and the electrode configuration.
[0070] Example:
[0071] See Figure 3 The electric melting furnace includes a feeding port 1, molten glass 2, a discharge port 3, an electric melting furnace 4, and electrodes 5. The upper part of the electric melting furnace is the gas furnace part. The electrodes 5 are arranged in pairs along the length of the furnace and at the width of the furnace.
[0072] In glass substrate manufacturing, glass substrate furnaces typically employ a coupled heating system of a combustion lance and an electric melting system. The electric melting system uses alternating current to prevent electrolysis of the molten glass and oxidation of the electrodes. The thermal efficiency of electric melting technology is far greater than that of flame technology. The energy release of electric melting technology is related to the conductivity of the molten glass itself. The conductivity of glass is a function of temperature (related to the composition of the raw material), and the conductivity at room temperature is approximately 10. -13 ~10 -15 Ω -1 cm -1 (Insulator), with a molten state conductivity of approximately 0.1–1.0 Ω. -1 cm -1 (Conductor). Under the action of an alternating electric field, conductive ions (mainly alkali metals such as Na, K, and Li) collide and rub against each other to generate Joule heat, which heats the glass to achieve melting, clarification, and homogenization.
[0073] The kiln structure (including liquid level), electrode dimensions, electrode configuration, and power supply scheme are the core of kiln design; the limiting relationship between electrode power supply and electrode configuration is crucial to ensuring melting quality. Extraction rate and melting quality are two technical issues at different levels. The extraction rate must be based on melting quality (related to the kiln's melting capacity), and melting capacity is closely related to melting quality and effective melting rate. To ensure melting quality, the energy consumption per unit extraction rate (residence time) is... The electrode power is equivalent to that of the reference furnace. The shorter the residence time, the higher the average electrode power; the fewer the number of electrode pairs, the higher the average electrode power. The residence time can be as short as 1.36 days or even shorter, but the electrode power needs to be increased significantly to meet the melting capacity.
[0074] The kiln design references mature production lines, prioritizing lines with large process margins to improve process adjustment efficiency and reduce initial waste. Different reference kilns exhibit varying temperature gradient distributions in the material hill area, which is related to kiln structure, residence time, and electrode power allocation (to meet melting capacity). Different lead-out rates result in significant differences in material hill shape and operating modes; different electrode structures and configurations also correspond to substantial differences in the current field, which current software cannot accurately reproduce.
[0075] In recent years, to improve production line efficiency, glass substrates have become increasingly larger in size and higher in lead count. To meet the demands of higher generation and higher lead counts, the structure of the glass substrate manufacturing furnace and the electrode configuration are among the core elements of the entire glass substrate manufacturing equipment design. According to... Figure 3 As shown, This refers to the height of the liquid level in the kiln. The width of the kiln electrode; This refers to the height of the kiln electrodes. This is the distance between the top of the kiln electrode and the surface of the kiln liquid. This is the distance between the bottom of the kiln electrode and the bottom of the kiln. The width of the kiln electrode; This refers to the distance between the kiln electrodes and the front and rear walls. According to... Figure 4 As shown, The width of the kiln; The kiln length is defined as follows. Based on the reference kiln structure and electrode configuration, as well as the equivalent melting capacity, interference effect, and edge effect, a design benchmark for improving the kiln structure and electrode configuration to enhance the extraction rate was established. This benchmark also takes into account electrode interference and edge effects, meeting the technical requirements of high efficiency and high melting capacity, thereby satisfying the needs of higher generations and higher extraction rates. The new kiln design optimization evaluation standard has achieved target-oriented, digital, and parameterized implementation.
