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 the withdrawal amount of overflow bricks. [Background technology]

[0002] Glass substrates used in the manufacturing of flat panel displays, such as thin-film transistor displays (TFT-LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), are typically produced using the overflow downdraw method. The molten glass produced in a glass melting furnace is then fed into a melting overflow downdraw molding machine during the forming process. Display manufacturing demands larger glass substrates to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Larger glass substrates are more difficult to produce and require more complex quality control. Overflow bricks are one of the core components of glass substrate manufacturing and molding equipment. From a technical perspective, instability in the flow rate and distribution at the overflow brick inlet can lead to instability in the flow throughout the overflow channel, resulting in irregular flow distribution throughout the glass ribbon. From a product perspective, any fluctuations in the production line can cause fluctuations in the drawing, potentially resulting in unstable production and a lower yield rate. For glass substrate manufacturers, increasing the drawing rate is one of the most obvious ways to increase production volume and production line efficiency.

[0003] However, improving the draw rate requires consideration of the overflow brick inlet groove width, balancing the flow rate of the edge plates at the far and near ends of the overflow brick, and ensuring uniformity of the overall thickness distribution. Controlling the thickness and consistency of glass substrates is a crucial design and process technology. Based on actual needs, overflow bricks must generally accommodate glass substrates with thicknesses between 0.2 and 0.7 mm, so the overflow brick design must also accommodate glass substrates with thicknesses of 0.2 to 0.7 mm. Because glass substrates are so thin, any variations in manufacturing processes, including airflow and thermal fields, can affect the thickness of the resulting glass substrate and negatively impact display quality. Therefore, overflow bricks must be designed to account for the impact of these complex factors on the thickness distribution of the glass substrate, thereby increasing the design's production margin. Ensuring improved draw rate while ensuring that the glass substrate's performance meets customer requirements is a core technology in overflow brick design.

[0004] As described above, the conventional method was unable to solve the problem that the thin edge plate causes variations in drawing when forming the glass substrate after increasing the drawing amount. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0049] 3 shows the relationship between the edge plate flow contraction ratio and the overflow coefficient in this embodiment, which is substantially nonlinear. According to the formula in step 1, the stretched width TIFF0007734766000201.tif66 is the average edge width Actual overflow face width of overflow bricks related to the design of TIFF0007734766000202.tif66 TIFF0007734766000203.tif65 is the overflow factor Related to the design of TIFF0007734766000204.tif65.

Here, The main reason for setting this to TIFF0007734766000207.tif629 is that the height of the corresponding edge roller is nearly optimal at this time, and the pulling effect is also nearly optimal. The value of TIFF0007734766000208.tif65 may be determined according to specific circumstances.

[0052] 4 shows the relationship between the edge plate flow rate shrinkage ratio and the average edge plate thickness in another embodiment. It has been revealed that the average edge plate thickness of the glass substrate increases with the increase in the edge plate flow rate shrinkage ratio of the overflow brick. By selecting an appropriate edge plate flow rate shrinkage ratio, the average edge plate thickness of the glass substrate can be reduced. TIFF0007734766000219.tif65≧1.5mm while taking manufacturing costs into consideration.

[0053] 5 shows the relationship between the stretch width, stretch factor, overflow factor, and edge plate flow contraction ratio in another embodiment. In a known completed design, adjusting the height of the edge rollers during actual production will change the stretch width, stretch factor, overflow factor, and edge plate flow contraction ratio. Reducing the height of the edge rollers will tend to reduce the stretch width, and the stretch factor, overflow factor, and edge plate flow contraction ratio will also tend to decrease. In actual production, the height of the edge rollers will be set to an approximately optimal position, at which point the thickness distribution in the transition area between the edge plate and the effective surface is optimal and the stretching is most stable.

The parameters in this process are the actual critical shrinkage width of the guide plate to meet the process requirements of stable stretching in the glass substrate production line manufacturing. TIFF0007734766000227.tif65, stretching speed V, average edge plate flow rate TIFF0007734766000228.tif65, average edge plate mass TIFF0007734766000229.tif66, Effective utilization rate of glass substrate It is used to calculate other parameters of the overflow brick, including TIFF0007734766000230.tif63.
