Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of glass manufacturing, and in particular to a device for improving the warping of raw glass sheets. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional inorganic non-metallic material, glass has excellent physical, chemical, and optical properties due to its high hardness, corrosion resistance, and high transparency, and has broad application prospects in the fields of automobiles, electronics, construction, etc.

[0003] Empowered by AI, intelligent systems have become a standard configuration for automobiles, and large screens, multi-screens, and 3D curved screens are gradually becoming the market mainstream. In-vehicle cover glass is widely used in in-vehicle display screens due to its excellent characteristics. A high-quality in-vehicle curved screen glass can bring a more extreme experience to the automotive industry.

[0004] Due to the requirement for the warping of large-size (12.1 inches) in in-vehicle product applications to be ≤ 0.24 mm, there is still a certain gap between domestic ultra-thin electronic glass and world-class high-grade glass in terms of warping. These gaps mainly come from the control of details. Any process fluctuation will cause the instability of the overall working conditions, thus affecting the melting and forming effects of the glass, resulting in large warping of the raw glass sheets and reducing the quality.

[0005] The slag box is an indispensable equipment in the tin bath process and is the button connecting the tin bath and the annealing kiln. The pressure, temperature, sulfur dioxide concentration, etc. inside the slag box play a key role in glass production. Unreasonable pressure, temperature difference, and sulfur dioxide concentration between the upper and lower plates will cause large warping of the raw glass sheets for automotive and in-vehicle glass, which will further affect the subsequent chemical strengthening of the product, forming large-size warping and affecting the product quality.

[0006] The existing slag box equipment lacks a flow guiding device for the upper airflow, and the SO2 in the slag box cannot escape, and then a de-alkalization reaction occurs on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass, resulting in a concentration difference of hydroxyl groups on the glass plate surface. When the hydroxyl content is too large, the glass structure becomes loose, increasing the structural difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. When chemical process treatment is carried out, it will cause the warping phenomenon of the glass. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the present utility model provides a new device for improving the warping of raw glass sheets above the slag box, which can improve the problem of large-size warping caused by the pressure difference and temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. This device can ensure the balance of the pressure difference and temperature difference of the slag box by adjusting the opening of the device according to the actual required process requirements.

The cylindrical dispersion pipe is movably connected to the circular cover plate. By moving the circular cover plate, the opening degree of the cylindrical dispersion pipe is adjusted to control the gas flow rate in the upper part of the slag box.

The square dispersion pipe is movably connected to the square groove cover plate. By moving the square groove cover plate, the opening degree of the square dispersion pipe is adjusted to control the gas flow rate in the upper part of the slag box.

[0019] The cylindrical dispersion pipe is movably connected to the circular cover plate through a cover plate link rod provided thereon.

[0020] The square dispersion pipe and the square groove cover plate can be moved by pushing and pulling along a linear track.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present utility model discloses a device for improving the warping of the original sheet glass. According to a specific embodiment, it includes:

[0037] A slag box is provided with ventilation holes for discharging the upper airflow inside the slag box. The existing slag box equipment lacks a guiding device for the upper airflow, and the SO2 inside the slag box cannot escape, resulting in a dealkalization reaction on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass, causing a hydroxyl concentration difference on the glass plate surface. When the hydroxyl content is too high, the glass structure becomes loose, increasing the structural difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. When chemical process treatment is carried out, it will cause the glass warping phenomenon.

[0038] Therefore, an adjusting structure 200 connected to the ventilation holes on the slag box is provided to adjust the upper gas flow rate inside the slag box, discharge the waste gas and ash slag inside the slag box, and balance the temperature difference and SO2 concentration difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the glass.

[0039] In a further specific embodiment, a connecting member 100 is provided between the slag box and the adjusting structure. It is installed on the slag box for connecting the slag box and the adjusting structure.

[0042] In a further some specific embodiments, second regulating valves of the adjusting structure 200 are provided inside the first regulating valves, and the size of the second regulating valves is adjusted to control the upper gas flow rate inside the slag box.

[0043] During the adjustment process, according to the actual upper gas flow rate in the slag box, the first regulating valve or the second regulating valve of the regulating structure 200 can be adjusted, or the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve of the regulating structure 200 can be adjusted simultaneously to better control the upper gas flow rate in the slag box.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, for reference Figures 1 - 3 , a first regulating pipe of the regulating structure is provided, with the bottom connected to the connecting member 100 and the top connected to the first regulating valve, for controlling the upper gas flow rate in the slag box.

[0045] In some further specific embodiments, it includes a second regulating pipe of the regulating structure, with the bottom connected to the connecting member 100 and the top connected to the second regulating valve, which is better for controlling the upper gas flow rate in the slag box.

[0046] In some further specific embodiments, the first regulating pipe is a cylindrical relief pipe 210, and the first regulating valve is a circular cover plate 220. The cylindrical relief pipe 210 is movably connected to the circular cover plate 220. By moving the circular cover plate 220, the opening degree of the cylindrical relief pipe 210 is adjusted to control the upper gas flow rate in the slag box.

[0047] In some further specific embodiments, the second regulating pipe is a square relief pipe 230, and the second regulating valve is a square groove cover plate 240. The square relief pipe 230 is movably connected to the square groove cover plate 240. By moving the square groove cover plate 240, the opening degree of the square relief pipe 230 is adjusted to control the upper gas flow rate in the slag box.

[0048] In some further specific embodiments, the cylindrical relief pipe 210 is movably connected to the circular cover plate 220 through a cover plate link rod 250 provided thereon.

[0049] In some further specific embodiments, the square relief pipe 230 and the square groove cover plate 240 can be moved in a straight line by pushing and pulling along a linear track.

[0050] In some further specific embodiments, for reference Figures 1 - 3 , according to the shape of the slag box, the connecting member 100 is a long strip-shaped aluminum alloy steel plate. The first regulating pipe, i.e., the cylindrical relief pipe 210, and the matching first regulating valve, i.e., the circular cover plate 220, are distributed at both ends of the long strip-shaped aluminum alloy steel plate. The second regulating pipe, i.e., the square relief pipe 230, and the matching second regulating valve, i.e., the square groove cover plate 240, are arranged in sequence and evenly. The specific number of the square relief pipe 230 and the matching square groove cover plate 240 is 7 pairs. The cylindrical relief pipe 210, the circular cover plate 220, the square relief pipe 230, and the square groove cover plate 240 are arranged in a straight line or close to a straight line.

[0051] The opening adjustment of the circular cover plate 220 and the square groove cover plate 240 can be achieved through a manual hook or through machine automation, such as cylinders, motors, etc.

[0052] The changes in the internal flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc. of the slag box caused by the opening adjustment of the circular cover plate 220 and the square groove cover plate 240 are monitored in real time by devices such as flow meters and pressure gauges, and then the opening sizes of the circular cover plate 220 and the square groove cover plate 240 are adjusted.

[0055] In the actual production with the above dimensions, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, Figure 4 is the large-size warping diagram of the original sheet before implementation, Figure 5 is the large-size warping diagram of the original sheet after implementation. The specific data analysis is as follows: By improving and adjusting the opening of the slag box diversion pipeline, the influence of the pressure and sulfur dioxide concentration on the original sheet is reduced. The openings of the two side circular pipelines are fully opened, and the opening of the middle pipeline is opened to 50%. There is an obvious improvement in the warping of the plate surface, making the warping of the glass meet the production requirements.
