[0045] The glass forming device of the embodiment of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present application, the glass forming device is taken as an example to form large-diameter glass, for example, it can be used to form a large glass strip with a maximum width of 1000mm. For forming other sizes and other types of formed glass, it is similar to this, and will not be repeated here.
[0046] Referring to Figure 1 The glass forming device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a bottom support 10 and a heat uniformizing cover assembly 20 connected to the bottom support 10, and the heat uniformizing cover assembly 20 comprises a first base 30, a heat uniformizing cover 40 and a heating assembly 50. The first base 30 comprises a bearing surface 31 for bearing a mold. The heat uniformizing cover 40 is arranged on the bearing surface 31, and the heat uniformizing cover 40 comprises a top wall 41 arranged in a spaced manner with the bearing surface 31, and the top wall 41 is provided with a first heating component (not shown) on the side facing the bearing surface 31. The heating assembly 50 comprises a second heating component 510 and a first adjusting assembly 60 connected with each other, and the second heating component 510 is arranged on the side of the bearing surface 31 of the first base 30 through the first adjusting assembly 60, and the first adjusting assembly 60 is used for adjusting the relative position of the second heating component 510 and the bearing surface 31.
[0047] By arranging the first adjusting assembly 60, the first adjusting assembly 60 is used for adjusting the relative position of the second heating component 510 and the bearing surface 31. When a glass with a large forming size is needed, the distance between the second heating component 510 and the bearing surface 31 can be adjusted to be small through the first adjusting assembly 60 on the basis of the heating by the first heating component, so that the second heating component 510 is close to the mold on the bearing surface 31, the temperature is improved, and thus the situation that the glass liquid in the mold is not yet formed but solidified is avoided, so as to improve the yield rate in the forming production process of the large high-precision glass. In addition, since the distance between the second heating component 510 and the mold is adjustable, the glass forming device 100 of the present application can also be suitable for the temperature requirement in the production of different specifications of glass, and the applicability is wider.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first heating component can be a resistance wire, a carbon rod box or the like. The second heating component 510 can be a carbon rod box or the like. The number of the second heating component 510 can be one or more according to actual needs. The side of the bottom support 10 away from the heat uniformizing cover assembly 20 can be provided with a plurality of supporting legs 11 to support the bottom support 10.
[0049] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 5 The heat uniformizing cover 40 further comprises two side walls 42 connected to the bearing surface 31 of the first base 30, and the two ends of the top wall 41 are connected to the two side walls 42 respectively, so that the heat uniformizing cover 40 is actually arranged on the bearing surface 31 of the first base 30 and cooperates with the first base 30 to enclose a reaction chamber. The surface of the side wall 42 facing the reaction chamber can also be provided with a first heating component (not shown). The two side walls 42 can be L-shaped, and the top wall 41 can be in the shape of a long strip plate.
[0050] The first base 30 can be a plate-shaped member, and a plurality of auxiliary bearing members 32 can be arranged on the bearing surface 31 of the first base 30. The mold is arranged on the auxiliary bearing members 32 and is borne on the bearing surface 31 through the auxiliary bearing members 32.
[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first adjusting assembly 60 comprises a support rod 61 and a connecting bracket 62. The support rod 61 is fixedly connected to the first base 30, and the connecting bracket 62 is connected to the second heating component 510. The support rod 61 and the connecting bracket 62 are slidingly connected in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 31.
[0052] In this way, when the connecting bracket 62 slides relative to the support rod 61 in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 31 to approach or move away from the bearing surface 31, the second heating component 510 connected to the connecting bracket 62 can approach or move away from the mold placed on the bearing surface 31 in the direction.
[0053] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the support rod 61 can be a long strip-shaped rod structure. The support rod 61 and the connecting bracket 62 are slidingly connected in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 31, which means that the support rod 61 and the connecting bracket 62 can slide relative to each other, and the sliding direction is along a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 31.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of support rods 61 can be two, and the two support rods 61 are located on opposite sides of the heat sink 40. Specifically, the two support rods 61 can be located on opposite sides of the two side walls 42.
[0055] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , for example, the connecting bracket 62 comprises two longitudinal rods 621 (one of the longitudinal rods 621 is shown in Figure 3 ) and a transverse rod 622. The two ends of the transverse rod 622 are connected to the two longitudinal rods 621, respectively. The longitudinal rods 621 are slidingly connected to the support rods 61 one by one, and the transverse rod 622 is connected to the second heating component 510.
[0056] For example, the second heating component 510 can be connected to the side of the transverse rod 622 facing the first base 30. The number of second heating components 510 can be two or more, and these second heating components 510 can be connected to the transverse rod 622 at intervals. Alternatively, the number of second heating components 510 can also be one. Of course, regardless of the number of second heating components 510, the second heating components 510 need to be corresponded to the mold on the bearing surface, so that the second heating components 510 are arranged above the mold.
[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the projection of the second heating component 510 and the transverse rod 622 on the bearing surface 31 does not overlap with the projection of the top wall 41 and the first heating component connected to the top wall 41 on the bearing surface 31.
[0058] In this way, the second heating component 510 will not interfere with the first heating component connected to the top wall 41 when it is close to or away from the bearing surface 31. In addition, in this way, the first heating component and the second heating component 510 can correspond to different areas of the mold on the bearing surface 31, so that the first heating component and the second heating component 510 heat different areas in the mold. Compared with the scheme of heating only by the heat shield 40, since heating is performed in a larger range, it is more suitable for the high-precision forming production requirements of large-size glass.
[0059] For example, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the transverse rod 622 and the second heating component 510 are located on the front side of the top wall 41, and in addition, the transition rod 623 is connected between the transverse rod 622 and the longitudinal rod 621, and the transverse rod 622, the transition rod 623 and the longitudinal rod 621 are perpendicular to each other. The transition rod 623 can extend along the front-back direction, so that the transverse rod 622 is spaced apart from the top wall 41 along the front-back direction Q.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 3 , the support rod 61 is provided with a first guide rail 611, and the corresponding longitudinal rod 621 is provided with a first sliding block 6210, and the first sliding block 6210 is in sliding fit with the first guide rail 611, so that the longitudinal rod 621 and the corresponding support rod 61 are in sliding connection.
[0061] The first guide rail 611 can be arranged on the side of the support rod 61 away from the heat shield 40, so that the movement of the longitudinal rod 621 along the first guide rail 611 will not interfere with the heat shield 40.
[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first adjusting assembly 60 further comprises a first lifting unit 63 arranged one-to-one with the support rod 61, and the first lifting unit 63 is fixedly connected with the connecting bracket 62 through a first lifting screw rod 631, so as to drive the connecting bracket 62 to slide relative to the support rod 61.
[0063] The first lifting unit 63 can further include a first support 632, a hand wheel 633, and a transmission structure such as a worm gear (not shown) cooperating with the first lifting screw rod 631. The first support 632 can be connected to the support rod 61, the worm gear is in transmission cooperation with the first lifting screw rod 631 and is arranged on the first support 632, the worm gear is further connected with the hand wheel 633, and the first lifting screw rod 631 is driven to move up and down along the axial direction of itself by rotating the hand wheel 633 to drive the worm gear to rotate. The first lifting screw rod 631 can drive the connecting bracket 62 to move along the axial direction of the first lifting screw rod 631 relative to the support rod 61. In the case of two first lifting units 63, each first lifting screw rod 631 is connected with a longitudinal rod 621 in the connecting bracket 62.
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The glass forming device 100 further includes a lifting bracket assembly 70 connected to the bottom bracket 10, and the lifting bracket assembly 70 includes a second base 71 and a second lifting unit 72 arranged on the second base 71.
[0065] The second lifting screw rod 721 of the second lifting unit 72 is fixedly connected with the first base 30 to drive the first base 30 to lift relative to the second base 71. In this way, the lifting of all components arranged on the first base 30 can be realized.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second lifting screw rods 721 is at least two, and the at least two second lifting screw rods 721 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other. The second lifting unit 72 further includes a driving motor 723 and a steering gear 724 in transmission connection with the driving motor 723, and the steering gear 724 is used to transmit the driving force of the driving motor 723 to each second lifting screw rod 721.
[0067] The second lifting unit 72 can further include a worm gear (not shown) corresponding to the second lifting screw rod 721 and a second support 722, and each second lifting screw rod 721 corresponds to a set of worm gears and second supports 722. The worm gear is in transmission connection with the second lifting screw rod 721, and the second support 722 is connected to the second base 71 and is used to support the worm gear and the second lifting screw rod 721.
[0068] When the number of the second lifting screw rods 721 is multiple, the power output by the driving motor 723 can be distributed into multiple paths through the steering gear 724, and then transmitted to each second lifting screw rod 721 through the corresponding worm gear of each second lifting screw rod 721. For example, when the number of the second lifting screw rods 721 is four, the number of the steering gears 724 can be three.
[0069] In addition, the reducer 725 can be further connected between the driving motor 723 and the steering device 724. The driving by the driving motor 723 can sensitively adjust the lifting of the first base 30. In addition, the lifting by the driving motor 723 can not only ensure the rapid lifting requirement, but also ensure the stability of the lifting, and can also reduce the pressure of the labor production personnel.
[0070] In the embodiment, the lifting bracket assembly 70 is slidably connected with the bottom support 10 along a preset direction, which is parallel to the bearing surface 31, for example, the front-rear direction Q.
[0071] In this way, the relative position of the lifting bracket assembly 70 and the bottom support 10 can be adjusted.
