Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of glass substrate manufacturing, and more particularly to an edge plate control method and system for improving overflow brick withdrawal. [Background technology]
[0002] Glass substrates used in the manufacturing field of flat panel displays such as general thin film transistor displays (TFT-LCDs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are manufactured by the overflow downdraw method, and are manufactured by supplying the molten glass melted in a glass melting furnace to a melting overflow downdraw molding device in the molding process. In display manufacturing, the glass substrate is required to be large in size to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. The larger the glass substrate, the higher the production difficulty and the more complicated the quality control of the glass substrate. Overflow bricks are one of the core parts of the manufacturing molding device for glass substrates. In terms of technology, the instability of the flow rate and its distribution at the inlet of the overflow brick is likely to cause instability of the flow in the entire overflow groove, which is likely to cause irregularity in the flow rate distribution of the entire glass ribbon. In terms of products, any fluctuation in the production line can cause fluctuations in the drawing, which can lead to unstable production and a decrease in the rate of non-defective products. For glass substrate manufacturers, improving the drawing amount is one of the most conceivable ways to increase production volume and the efficiency of the production line.
[0003] However, in order to improve the amount of drawing, in addition to considering the design of the inlet groove of the overflow brick, it is also necessary to consider the balance control of the flow rate of the edge plate at the far and near ends from the overflow brick, and the uniformity of the distribution of the overall thickness. The control of the thickness of the glass substrate and its consistency is one of the very important design and process technologies. According to the actual needs, the overflow brick must generally accommodate the production of glass substrates with a thickness of 0.2-0.7 mm, so the design of the overflow brick must also accommodate the production of glass substrates with a thickness of 0.2-0.7 mm. Because the glass substrate is very thin, any fluctuation in the process during production, including air flow, heat field, etc., will affect the thickness of the formed glass substrate, and even have a negative impact on the quality of the display, so the overflow brick needs to be designed considering the impact of these complex factors on the thickness distribution of the glass substrate, that is, to increase the production margin in the design. Ensuring the improvement of the amount of drawing and at the same time ensuring that the product performance of the glass substrate meets the requirements of customers is one of the core technologies of overflow brick design.
[0004] As described above, the conventional method cannot solve the problem that the thin edge plate causes variations in elongation during the formation of the glass substrate after the drawing amount is increased. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an edge plate control method and system for improving the withdrawal amount of overflow bricks, by adjusting the drawing width and actual overflow coefficient of the glass substrate, so that the edge plate thickness in the glass substrate forming process meets the needs, and solves the problem that the edge plate thickness is too thin during the glass substrate forming process when the drawing amount is increased, resulting in wavy drawing.
