Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flat glass manufacturing, and in particular relates to a device and method for finely adjusting the thickness of a substrate glass. Background Art
[0002] There are many production methods for substrate glass, such as float glass, overflow down-draw method, slit down-draw method, etc. Regardless of which of the above production methods is used, there are high requirements for the thickness uniformity of the substrate glass. When using the overflow down-draw method, the molten glass will converge into a glass plate at the tip of the overflow brick. The glass plate produced in this way does not touch any equipment on the surface, and there is no pollution on the glass surface. In order to achieve fine adjustment of the thickness of the glass plate during the overflow down-draw production process, it is required to achieve fine adjustment of the plate thickness by controlling the temperature when the glass plate still has a certain degree of viscoelasticity. Therefore, a thickness fine-tuning device needs to be set when the glass is in this adjustable area.
[0003] The current adjustment method is to set a thickness fine-tuning device at both sides of the viscoelastic glass plate, and change the local temperature by blowing different cooling air volumes through the local air ducts of the thickness fine-tuning device to achieve fine adjustment of the local thickness of the glass plate. The thickness fine-tuning device structure currently used in production is to set a certain number of air inlet pipes inside the temperature-equalizing box, and change the surface temperature of the corresponding position of the temperature-equalizing box by adjusting the cooling air volume of the air inlet pipes to achieve the purpose of fine adjustment of the thickness of the specific position of the glass plate. However, in the prior art, the front end of the air inlet pipe is at a certain distance from the surface of the temperature-equalizing box. When the wind in a specific air inlet pipe enters the thickness fine-tuning device, the cooling wind will act on the temperature-equalizing box within a certain range nearby from the air duct mouth, causing the adjacent area to be affected; at the same time, the existing thickness fine-tuning device does not have a return air outlet, and the wind entering from the air inlet pipe will dissipate in the furnace, causing the pressure in the furnace to change, thereby changing the airflow in the furnace and affecting the performance of the glass.
[0004] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN108911483 A and publication date November 30, 2018 discloses a device for rapid and fine adjustment of the thickness of a glass plate formed by an overflow down-draw method, including a heat-scaling carrier, in which a plurality of independent cooling air ducts are evenly distributed, and the starting point and the end point of the cooling air duct are located on the same end surface of the heat-scaling carrier to form an air inlet and an air outlet. When the cooling air enters the cooling air duct of the heat-scaling carrier through the air inlet, the molten high-temperature glass plate quickly exchanges heat with the cooling air through the heat-scaling carrier, and is then discharged through the air outlet, without being retained and circulated in the furnace, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling and controlling the thickness of the glass plate. However, in the above scheme, the air inlet can only allow cooling air to enter to achieve the cooling function, and the heating function cannot be achieved, that is, it only has a single cooling function.
