Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass tempering furnaces, in particular to a convection heating structure of a glass tempering furnace. Background Art
[0002] A glass tempering furnace is also known as a glass tempering unit, a tempering furnace, tempering equipment, a tempering unit, etc. A glass tempering furnace uses physical or chemical methods to form a compressive stress layer on the glass surface and a tensile stress layer inside; when the glass is subjected to external forces, the compressive stress layer can offset part of the tensile stress to prevent the glass from breaking, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the strength of the glass. Moreover, the microcracks on the glass surface become finer under this compressive stress, which also improves the strength of the glass to a certain extent.
[0003] After retrieval, the patent (application number: 202123078305.9) discloses "a convection heating structure of a glass tempering furnace and a glass tempering furnace". This device further conducts heat to the bottom of the glass through eight second branch pipes after passing through two first branch pipes, so that the heat will be evenly distributed at the bottom of the glass, and then the bottom of the glass can be evenly heated through the air outlet holes. At the same time, the reflector will gather and reflect the heat energy to reduce heat loss, thereby greatly improving the heating stability of the top and bottom of the glass and ensuring uniform heating of the top and bottom of the glass. The position of the support table and the conveying roller is driven by an electric hydraulic rod to adjust the distance between the glass on the conveying roller and the radiation pipe and the reflector, so as to facilitate controlling the radiation temperature of the top and bottom of the glass. However, there are some problems in the operation of this device:
[0004] First, the convection heating method adopted in this device is to blow air from top and bottom together. Although it can achieve a certain heating effect, the structure is cumbersome, the manufacturing cost is high, and the mechanical components work in a high-temperature environment for a long time, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0005] In addition, when the glass directly enters a high-temperature environment of several hundred degrees Celsius from the outside for heating, there may be a risk of bursting, and it is also difficult for the glass to quickly rise to the required temperature. Content of the Utility Model
