Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a heating and cooling device for tempering ultra-thin flexible glass. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, foldable screens utilize flexible materials or ultra-thin glass. Chemical tempering is an indispensable part of the strengthening process for flexible materials, and the preheating process before tempering and the cooling process after tempering are crucial. Therefore, the future development trend of foldable screens will be towards using ultra-thin glass as a flexible cover for module assembly and mass production. To improve the surface strength of current ultra-thin glass covers, potassium nitrate in a high-temperature molten state is often used for sodium-potassium ion replacement to achieve chemical tempering. However, due to the thinness of the ultra-thin glass during tempering, the molten potassium nitrate reacts with it on the glass surface. Since potassium nitrate has a melting point of 334℃, the reaction temperature is relatively high. Temperature control before and after tempering is critical. If the product temperature is too low before tempering, some potassium nitrate will solidify upon contact; if the temperature is too high, uneven reaction will occur in some areas upon contact. Similarly, the cooling rate of the molten potassium nitrate after tempering will affect the local reaction rate, leading to surface defects such as imprints and performance defects such as stress, thus affecting the product's tempering yield.

[0003] Existing technology includes a device entitled "A Cooling Device for a Glass Tempering Furnace," with publication number CN210620599U. This technology relates to the field of glass tempering furnace technology and discloses a cooling device for a glass tempering furnace, comprising a lower plate platform, a base, a heating section, a cooling device, an AC port, an upper plate platform, a fixing block, a connecting block, a support plate, a fan, locking screws, a fixing ring, a dustproof net, an air outlet pipe, nozzles, and a moisture-absorbing sheet. The lower plate platform is surrounded by a base, and the cooling device is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The heating section is mounted on the right side of the cooling device, and the upper plate platform is movably connected to the right side of the heating section. The top of the cooling device is fixedly connected to a fixing block, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing block. A support plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting block. This glass tempering furnace cooling device achieves higher cooling efficiency. Combined with existing water pump cooling methods, it further improves cooling efficiency, resulting in faster cooling and better overall stability.

[0004] However, this technology does not address the technical issues and solutions of this application. Utility Model Content
