Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glass strengthening and forming, and more specifically, it relates to a glass processing equipment. This invention also relates to a high-strength glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] Glass forming is the process of transforming molten glass into a fixed geometric shape. There are many methods of glass forming, mainly including pressing, blowing, drawing, rolling, and casting. Pressing involves pouring molten glass into a mold, placing a mold ring on top, and pressing in a punch to form the product between the punch, mold ring, and mold. Pressing cannot produce glass with a small opening and a large cavity. Blowing uses a blowpipe or air blower to blow molten glass into a mold to form the product. It mainly includes manual blowing and mechanical blowing. Manual blowing is characterized by a smooth surface and relatively accurate dimensions, but it is less efficient. It is mainly used for small batches, producing high-end tableware and art glass. The process involves two steps: pressing and blowing, first forming the opening and the basic shape. It is used to produce hollow products such as wide-mouthed bottles and narrow-mouthed bottles. Drawing involves pouring molten glass into a mold, passing it through a cooler, and then mechanically drawing it into the product. It is mainly used to produce glass tubes, rods, flat glass, and glass fibers. The rolling process involves rolling molten glass between rollers or roller plates to form glass products. It is used for thick flat glass, engraved glass, and furniture glass. The casting process involves injecting molten glass into a mold, annealing and cooling it to obtain the finished product. The float glass process refers to the method of forming flat glass on the surface of molten tin after the molten glass flows into a tin bath. The molten glass continuously flows into the tin bath through channels and troughs; the molten glass spreads, polishes, thins, and cools on the surface of the molten tin due to surface tension and gravity, and drifts strongly with the drive rollers during this process; the formed glass is lifted by transition rollers, leaves the tin bath, and enters the annealing furnace; after cross-cutting, inspection, and packaging, it is ready for shipment.

[0003] However, the existing glass processing methods lack a process to homogenize the internal structure and a technical solution to maintain the consistency of glass thickness and strength. As a result, the glass produced cannot meet the requirements for consistency of internal composition, and the problems of bubbles inside the glass and the uniformity of strength in various parts of the glass cannot be fundamentally improved. The strength of the produced glass cannot meet the high-strength use requirements in specific environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass processing device to solve the technical problems of inconsistent parting lines, thickness and insufficient uniformity of overall structural strength in the existing glass forming process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a glass processing apparatus, comprising:

[0006] The processing mold includes an outer mold and an inner mold disposed within the outer mold, a forming space is formed between the outer mold and the inner mold, and the outer mold is cylindrical and can rotate about its own axis;

[0007] The inner mold is eccentrically rotatable inside the outer mold, and the axis of the inner mold is parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the outer mold.

[0008] As the outer mold rotates, the fluid glass located in the forming space is tightly attached to the inner surface of the outer mold. As the inner mold rotates, the outer periphery of the inner mold and the inner wall of the outer mold together squeeze the fluid glass.

[0009] In one feasible implementation, the glass processing equipment further includes a transmission mechanism, which comprises an input shaft, a planetary carrier, a fixed gear ring, multiple planetary gears, and multiple eccentric shafts. The outer mold, the planetary carrier, the fixed gear ring, and the input shaft are coaxial, and the fixed gear ring is located at one end of the outer mold along its axial direction. The planetary gears mesh with the input shaft and the fixed gear ring respectively. The planetary carrier rotates synchronously with the input shaft, and the inner mold rotates synchronously with the planetary carrier. Each eccentric shaft rotates coaxially with each planetary gear, and each eccentric shaft is adapted to rotate with the inner mold.

[0010] As the input shaft rotates, the inner mold rotates on its own axis around the axis of the outer mold, while each of the eccentric shafts drives the inner mold to revolve around the eccentric axis.

[0011] In one feasible implementation, the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft is 1.5 cm.

[0012] In one feasible implementation, the top of the outer mold is provided with two flaps, which are arranged symmetrically on the top of the outer mold with the diameter of the outer mold as the axis.

[0013] In one feasible implementation, the glass processing equipment further includes a drive mechanism, which includes a drive motor and a transmission belt, the transmission belt being used to form a transmission connection between the power output shaft of the drive motor and the input shaft.

[0014] In one feasible implementation, the axis of the outer mold extends in the vertical direction, and the bottom of the outer mold is provided with a coaxial first retaining ring. The outer side of the first retaining ring is sealed to the inner wall of the outer mold. The bottom end of the inner mold is located above the first retaining ring, and the diameter of the inner mold is not less than the sum of the inner diameter of the first retaining ring and the eccentricity.

[0015] In one feasible implementation, the glass processing equipment further includes a mounting frame, on which the drive motor, the input shaft, and the fixed gear ring are all mounted.

[0016] In one feasible implementation, the top of the outer mold is provided with a detachable second retaining ring, which is coaxial with the first retaining ring.

[0017] In one feasible implementation, the input shaft passes through the inner mold and the planetary carrier in the vertical direction, the top end of the input shaft is provided with a spline, the second stop ring is plugged into and adapted to the spline at the top of the input shaft, and the outer periphery of the second stop ring is connected to the spline of the inner wall of the outer mold.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the glass processing equipment provided by the present invention are as follows: by rotating the outer mold around its own axis and the inner mold around the eccentric axis in the processing mold, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the outer mold makes the fluid glass in the forming space closely adhere to the inner surface of the outer mold. At the same time, the eccentric rotation of the inner mold makes the outer periphery of the inner mold and the inner wall of the outer mold jointly form a continuous and uniform extrusion on the fluid glass, so that the fluid glass is formed under the combined action of centrifugal force and extrusion force, making the thickness of the initially formed glass blank uniform throughout. It can also extrude the glass in a kneading manner through the relative rotation between the inner mold and the outer mold, and can adjust and homogenize other substances inside the glass. This solves the technical problems of large thickness deviation, disordered internal material distribution and uneven strength distribution caused by uneven force in the glass or glass blank produced by traditional glass processing equipment.

[0019] Secondly, through the cooperation of various structures in the transmission mechanism, when the input shaft rotates, it not only drives the outer mold to rotate, but also drives the planetary carrier to rotate through the reduction of the planetary gears, thereby causing the inner mold to rotate around the axis of the outer mold. At the same time, the planetary gears rotate under the meshing action with the input shaft and the fixed gear ring, driving the eccentric shaft to rotate and driving the inner mold to revolve around the eccentric axis. This achieves stable linkage between the rotation and revolution of the inner mold. Thus, while there is a speed difference between the inner and outer molds, the inner mold can also squeeze the glass through eccentric rotation, which helps to solve the technical problems of the difficulty in stably driving the multi-degree-of-freedom motion of the inner mold and the complexity and uncontrollability of the transmission structure.

[0020] Furthermore, by setting the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft to 1.5cm, and coordinating the rotation of the inner mold and the rotation of the outer mold, this eccentricity ensures that the variation range of the forming space between the inner and outer molds is moderate. This ensures effective extrusion of the fluid glass to eliminate internal defects, while preventing abnormal glass forming due to excessive extrusion. This achieves precise control of the force on the glass during the forming process, resulting in smaller glass thickness tolerances and more stable forming quality. It is beneficial to solve the forming defects caused by insufficient or excessive extrusion of the glass due to improper eccentricity.

[0021] Furthermore, the drive motor in the drive mechanism is connected to the input shaft via a transmission belt. With the operation of the transmission mechanism, the power of the drive motor is stably transmitted to the input shaft via the transmission belt, thereby driving the outer mold to rotate and the inner mold to complete its rotation and revolution. This achieves stable and reliable power transmission for the equipment, with a simple drive structure, convenient maintenance, and low power loss, preventing unstable power transmission and complex and difficult-to-maintain drive structures.

[0022] Regarding the design of the first and second retaining rings, the first retaining ring prevents fluid glass from leaking from the bottom when the outer mold rotates. Simultaneously, because the inner mold has a sufficiently large diameter, it can always cover the inner diameter range of the first retaining ring even when revolving around the eccentric axis, achieving effective sealing of the bottom of the forming space. This achieves the technical effect of preventing fluid glass leakage and ensuring the integrity of glass forming, effectively solving the problem of glass forming defects caused by poor bottom sealing. By providing a detachable second retaining ring coaxial with the first retaining ring at the top of the outer mold, and adapting it to the forming requirements of different glass specifications, the second retaining ring can be replaced according to the glass height. Together with the first retaining ring, it limits the forming height of the fluid glass, achieving adaptability of the equipment to glass products of different heights. This improves the equipment's versatility and reduces production costs, thus solving the limitation that the equipment can only produce glass of a fixed height. Meanwhile, the second retaining ring is plugged into and adapted to the input shaft. The outer circumference of the second retaining ring is connected to the inner wall of the outer mold via a spline structure. The second retaining ring can not only rotate synchronously with the input shaft and the outer mold, but also be quickly disassembled and precisely positioned through the spline connection when replacing the second retaining ring. This achieves convenient replacement of the second retaining ring and ensures installation accuracy, thus shortening the mold changeover time and enabling the outer blank to rotate through the input shaft. This helps to solve the technical problems of cumbersome replacement and inaccurate positioning of the retaining ring.

[0023] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength glass production line, including the glass processing equipment described above.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, the high-strength glass production line of this invention possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned glass processing equipment, which will not be elaborated upon here. Moreover, by setting up any of the aforementioned processing equipment in conjunction with other processes in the production line, the processing equipment can stably produce glass products with uniform thickness and excellent internal quality, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing. This achieves efficient and stable operation of the production line, thereby improving the overall quality and production efficiency of glassware and solving the technical problems of unstable glass product quality and low production efficiency in traditional production lines.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "back" appear, indicating orientation or positional relationship, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0038] Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" should be interpreted broadly. For example, a connection can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in light of the specific circumstances.

[0039] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0040] In the production of existing glass products (including glass tableware and high-strength glass), the thickness consistency of the glass cannot meet the requirements due to the production process. The existing solutions are to use corresponding casting molds to cast the glass in one piece during the glass casting process, or to use several-part molds of corresponding shapes to press the glass into shape. However, due to the limitations of the manufacturing process, the internal density of the glass products is insufficient, and the uniformity and consistency of the internal crystal distribution are significantly different. Furthermore, the thickness of the glass and the consistency of other components mixed in with the glass cannot meet the requirements.

[0041] To address the above problems, a glass processing equipment is proposed, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the glass processing equipment provided by the present invention will now be described.

[0042] The glass processing equipment mainly includes a processing mold 1, which specifically includes an outer mold 11 and an inner mold 12 disposed within the outer mold 11. A forming space is formed between the outer mold 11 and the inner mold 12. The outer mold 11 is cylindrical and can rotate around its own axis. The inner mold 12 is eccentrically rotatable within the outer mold 11, and the axis of the inner mold 12 is parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the outer mold 11. As the outer mold 11 rotates, the fluid glass located in the forming space is tightly attached to the inner surface of the outer mold 11. As the inner mold 12 rotates, the outer periphery of the inner mold 12 and the inner wall of the outer mold 11 jointly compress the fluid glass.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, before the glass is formed, the glass is generally placed between the two molds in a semi-fluid form.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the glass processing equipment provided by the present invention are as follows: By rotating the outer mold 11 around its own axis and the inner mold 12 rotating eccentrically around the eccentric axis in the processing mold 1, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the outer mold 11 causes the fluid glass in the forming space to closely adhere to the inner surface of the outer mold 11. At the same time, the eccentric rotation of the inner mold 12 causes the outer periphery of the inner mold 12 and the inner wall of the outer mold 11 to jointly form a continuous and uniform extrusion on the fluid glass, so that the fluid glass is formed under the combined action of centrifugal force and extrusion force, making the thickness of the initially formed glass blank uniform throughout, and adjusting and homogenizing other substances inside the glass, so as to solve the technical problems of large thickness deviation, disordered internal material distribution and uneven strength distribution caused by uneven force in the glass or glass blank produced by traditional glass processing equipment.

[0045] Furthermore, the two molds in this invention can not only be used to produce cylindrical glass semi-finished products or finished products, but also to obtain glass blanks of other shapes by setting corresponding shapes on the inner surface of the outer mold 11. The specific shapes and types will not be described here. The glass finished products or glass semi-finished products prepared by this invention have improved the uniformity of the internal composition and strength of the glass. The specific processing or application of the glass prepared according to this invention will not be described here.

[0046] In addition to the feasible implementation methods described above, for the above embodiments, preferably, the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11 can be driven by different motors, or a single motor can be used in conjunction with a gear mechanism to drive the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11 respectively. When the outer mold 11 rotates clockwise around its own axis, the eccentric rotation of the inner mold 12 can be clockwise or counterclockwise. The specific speed difference or rotation direction difference can be achieved by a gear or other structure, which will not be elaborated here. As for the number of inner molds 12 and their position relative to the outer mold 11, in one embodiment, the inner mold 12 is one corresponding to the outer mold 11 (see below for details of the specific structure); in an alternative embodiment, there can also be multiple inner molds 12 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), multiple inner molds 12 each have their own eccentric axis. Each inner mold 12 is evenly arranged around the axis of the outer mold 11 and is parallel to the axis of the outer mold 11. This allows multiple inner molds 12 to rotate eccentrically at the same time, so that multiple points can simultaneously apply extrusion and shear forces to the glass to be processed during the centrifugation process.

[0047] Based on the above embodiments, in a more preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to drive the two molds to rotate, the glass processing equipment also includes a transmission mechanism 2. The transmission mechanism 2 includes an input shaft 21, a planetary carrier 22, a fixed gear ring 23, multiple planetary gears 24, and multiple eccentric shafts 25. The outer mold 11, the planetary carrier 22, the fixed gear ring 23, and the input shaft 21 are coaxial, and the fixed gear ring 23 is located at one end of the outer mold 11 along the axial direction. The planetary gears 24 mesh with the input shaft 21 and the fixed gear ring 23 respectively. The planetary carrier 22 rotates synchronously with the input shaft 21, and the inner mold 12 rotates synchronously with the planetary carrier 22. Each eccentric shaft 25 rotates coaxially with each planetary gear 24, and each eccentric shaft 25 is adapted to the rotation of the inner mold 12. As the input shaft 21 rotates, the inner mold 12 rotates around the axis of the outer mold 11, while each eccentric shaft 25 drives the inner mold 12 to revolve around the eccentric axis.

[0048] As configured above, through the mutual cooperation of the various structures in the transmission mechanism 2, when the input shaft 21 rotates, it not only drives the outer mold 11 to rotate, but also drives the planetary carrier 22 to rotate through the reduction of the planetary gear 24. This causes the inner mold 12 to rotate around the axis of the outer mold 11. At the same time, the planetary gear 24 rotates under the meshing action with the input shaft 21 and the fixed gear ring 23, driving each eccentric shaft 25 to rotate and driving the inner mold 12 to revolve around the eccentric axis. This achieves stable linkage between the rotation and revolution of the inner mold 12. Thus, while there is a speed difference between the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11, the inner mold 12 can also squeeze the glass through eccentric rotation, which helps to solve the problem of the difficulty of multi-degree-of-freedom motion of the inner mold 12. The technical problems of stable drive and complex and uncontrollable transmission structure are addressed. Furthermore, due to the speed difference between the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11, the fluid glass located in the forming space is also subjected to the shear force of the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11, which makes the internal components of the fluid glass more uniformly mixed. The fluid glass is formed under the combined action of centrifugal force, extrusion force and shear force. The thickness of the initially formed glass blank is uniform throughout, and other substances inside the glass are adjusted and homogenized. This further solves the technical problems of large thickness deviation, disordered internal material distribution and uneven strength distribution caused by uneven force in glass or glass blanks produced by traditional glass processing equipment.

[0049] More specifically, a needle roller bearing 251 is fitted around the outer circumference of the eccentric shaft 25. The eccentric shaft 25 is rotatably adapted to the mating hole opened in the inner mold 12 through the needle roller bearing 251, so that the process of the eccentric shaft 25 driving the inner mold 12 to rotate eccentrically is smoother and the inner mold 12 is prevented from jamming during the eccentric rotation.

[0050] In one feasible embodiment, the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft 25 is 1.5cm for the revolution eccentricity of the inner mold 12. In this embodiment, the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft 25 is set to 1.5cm. With the rotation and revolution of the inner mold 12 and the rotation of the outer mold 11, this eccentricity makes the variation range of the forming space between the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11 moderate. This ensures effective extrusion of the fluid glass to eliminate internal defects, while preventing abnormal glass forming due to excessive extrusion. It achieves precise control of the force on the glass during the forming process, resulting in smaller glass thickness tolerance and more stable forming quality. This can prevent forming defects caused by insufficient or excessive extrusion of the glass due to improper eccentricity.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the outer mold 11 is provided with two flaps 111. The two flaps 111 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the outer mold 11 with the diameter of the outer mold 11 as the axis. With the rotation of the outer mold 11 and the movement of the inner mold 12, the flaps 111 open to add material when adding fluid glass to the molding space. During the molding process, the flaps 111 close to seal the top of the outer mold 11, realizing convenient opening and closing and effective sealing of the molding space. This facilitates material addition, prevents fluid glass from overflowing from the top, and reduces heat loss, solving the technical problems of inconvenient material addition and easy glass overflow from the top of the outer mold 11.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to drive the inner mold 12 and the outer mold 11 to rotate, in one feasible implementation, the glass processing equipment also includes a drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31 and a transmission belt 32. The transmission belt 32 is used to form a transmission connection between the power output shaft of the drive motor 31 and the input shaft 21. In this way, in this embodiment, the drive motor 31 in the drive mechanism 3 forms a transmission connection with the input shaft 21 via the transmission belt 32. With the operation of the transmission mechanism 2, the power of the drive motor 31 is stably transmitted to the input shaft 21 via the transmission belt 32, thereby driving the outer mold 11 to rotate and driving the inner mold 12 to complete its rotation and revolution. This achieves stable and reliable power transmission of the equipment, with a simple drive structure, convenient maintenance, and low power loss, preventing problems or phenomena such as unstable power transmission and complex and difficult-to-maintain drive structure.

[0053] More preferably, the axis of the outer mold 11 extends vertically, and a coaxial first retaining ring 112 is provided at the bottom of the outer mold 11. The outer side of the first retaining ring 112 is sealed to the inner wall of the outer mold 11. The bottom end of the inner mold 12 is located above the first retaining ring 112, and the diameter of the inner mold 12 is not less than the sum of the inner diameter of the first retaining ring 112 and the eccentricity. More specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the inner diameter of the first baffle ring 112 is A, the outer diameter of the inner mold is a, and the distance between the eccentric axis and the axis of the outer mold 11 is b, where a > A + b. In this way, through the above settings, the first baffle ring 112 prevents the fluid glass from leaking from the bottom when the outer mold 11 rotates. At the same time, because the inner mold 12 has a sufficiently large diameter, it can always cover the inner diameter range of the first baffle ring 112 even when it revolves around the eccentric axis. This achieves effective sealing of the bottom of the molding space (no absolute sealing is required), thus achieving the technical effect of preventing fluid glass leakage and ensuring the integrity of glass molding. This is beneficial for solving the problem of glass molding defects caused by poor bottom sealing.

[0054] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the glass processing equipment also includes a mounting frame 4. The drive motor 31, input shaft 21, and fixed gear ring 23 are all mounted on the mounting frame 4. Through the integrated mounting of the drive motor 31, input shaft 21, and outer mold 11 by the mounting frame 4, and with the coordinated movement of each component, the mounting frame 4 provides stable support for each component and ensures its coaxiality and relative position accuracy, thereby realizing the stability of the overall structure of the equipment, coordinating the movement of each component, reducing vibration and deviation, and preventing low operating accuracy and easy damage to the equipment due to unstable component installation.

[0055] In addition to the above-mentioned feasible implementation methods, in one feasible implementation method, the top of the outer mold 11 is provided with a detachable second baffle ring 113. The second baffle ring 113 is coaxial with the first baffle ring 112. By providing a detachable second baffle ring 113 on the top of the outer mold 11 that is coaxial with the first baffle ring 112, and in accordance with the forming requirements of different specifications of glass, the appropriate second baffle ring 113 can be replaced according to the glass height. Together with the first baffle ring 112, it restricts the forming height of the fluid glass, realizes the adaptability of the equipment to glass products of different heights, and achieves the technical effect of improving the versatility of the equipment and reducing production costs. This solves the limitation problem that the equipment can only produce glass of a fixed height.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, in a more preferred implementation, the input shaft 21 passes through the inner mold 12 and the planetary carrier 22 in the vertical direction. The top of the input shaft 21 is provided with a spline. The second retaining ring 113 is plugged into and adapted to the input shaft 21. The outer periphery of the second retaining ring is plugged into the spline of the inner wall of the outer mold 11 and locked by a pin. In this way, the second retaining ring 113 is plugged into and adapted to the input shaft 21. The structure of the outer periphery of the second retaining ring being connected to the spline of the inner wall of the outer mold 11 allows the second retaining ring 113 to rotate synchronously with the input shaft 21 and the outer mold 11. When replacing the second retaining ring 113, it can be quickly disassembled and accurately positioned through the spline connection. This achieves convenient replacement and installation accuracy assurance of the second retaining ring 113, and achieves the technical effects of shortening the mold changeover time and driving the outer blank to rotate through the input shaft. It is beneficial to solve the technical problems of cumbersome replacement and inaccurate positioning of the retaining ring.

[0057] In summary, this invention utilizes the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the outer mold 11 around its own axis to cause the fluid glass to adhere to the inner surface of the outer mold 11. Simultaneously, the inner mold 12, driven by the transmission mechanism 2 (including the input shaft 21, planetary carrier 22, etc.), achieves rotation around the axis of the outer mold 11 and revolution around a parallel eccentric axis. The inner and outer molds 11 jointly compress the glass to ensure uniform thickness and uniform internal material distribution after molding. The claims further optimize the equipment structure, such as the eccentric shaft 25 with an eccentricity, the top flip-top cover 111 of the outer mold 11, the bottom first retaining ring 112, and the top detachable first retaining ring. The two-stop material ring 113 (connected to the input shaft 21 and the outer mold 11 via splines and pins), the drive mechanism 3 (driven by the drive motor 31 via belt drive), and the mounting bracket 4, respectively realize the functions of precise control of the inner mold 12 movement, convenient feeding and anti-overflow, prevention of bottom leakage, adaptation to glass production of different heights, stable power transmission, and stable equipment installation. Ultimately, the equipment and the production line containing it can efficiently produce high-quality glass products, solving the technical problems of large glass thickness deviation, many internal defects, poor equipment versatility, and unstable operation in traditional molding.

[0058] Based on the same inventive concept, another objective of this invention is to provide a high-strength glass production line, which includes the glass processing equipment described above.

[0059] Compared to existing technologies, the high-strength glass production line of this invention possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned glass processing equipment, which will not be elaborated upon here. Furthermore, by incorporating any of the aforementioned processing equipment in conjunction with other processes in the production line, this invention enables the processing equipment to stably produce glass products with uniform thickness and excellent internal quality, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing. This achieves efficient and stable operation of the production line, resulting in improved overall quality and production efficiency of glassware. Thus, it solves the technical problems of unstable glass product quality and low production efficiency in traditional production lines. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention.
