Embodiment
The present invention is the manufacture method of thermoforming product, and a plurality of counterdies that the manufacture method of described thermoforming product is used continuously or circulation is intermittently moved comprise following operation:
(1) isolate fused glass block successively from the melten glass of continuous outflow, and isolated fused glass block received on above-mentioned a plurality of counterdie at prescribed position,
(2-1) fused glass block that on counterdie counterdie is received on one side applies blast it is suspended, Yi Bian it is cooled off in the movement of counterdie and be adjusted to regulation viscosity,
(3) use patrix that the glass block on the counterdie that is adjusted to regulation viscosity is carried out drawing at prescribed position, then, the drawing product are cooled off in the movement on the counterdie, at counterdie; Perhaps,
(2-2) on one side accept fused glass block that mould receives in the counterdie butt joint and apply blast it is suspended, Yi Bian it is cooled off in the movement of counterdie, and do not carry out punching press but the suspension that utilizes described blast to cause is configured as the shape of regulation with it,
(4) take out from counterdie at drawing product or the molding (2-2) of prescribed position with (3),
It is characterized in that, before taking out from described counterdie, carry out the contraposition of the prescribed position on the forming face of described molding and counterdie in non-contacting mode, and taking-up after contraposition.
A plurality of counterdies that the present invention uses continuously or circulation is intermittently moved.Particularly, a plurality of counterdies are configured on the turntable, and make the rotation of turntable calibration so that above-mentioned a plurality of counterdie moves to each stop place synchronously and one by one in batches, can make the counterdie circulation mobile thus.The stop place is prescribed position, is (1) position of receiving isolated fused glass block, (2) at least with molding from position that counterdie takes out.But, according to the difference of the quantity of the counterdie that arranges on the turntable, also can have the stop place that does not have special action or operation.Even mould carries out under the situation of drawing in the use, also has the position of using patrix to carry out drawing as the stop place.
Isolate fused glass block successively from the melten glass that flows out continuously, and received the fused glass block of separating by a plurality of counterdies at prescribed position.Thus, from the fused glass block that flows out continuously be formed for successively the being shaped fused glass block of hot press-formed article.Melten glass for example by frit is heated, fusion, deaeration, homogenizing obtains, this melten glass is flowed out from pipeline continuously with constant take-off rate, and the bottom of the molten glass flow that flows out is received on the counterdie that is placed on the pipeline below, further, counterdie is descended rapidly towards vertical below, molten glass flow bottom on the counterdie is separated with molten glass flow, receive the fused glass block on the molding surface that is separated to above-mentioned counterdie.
Except this method, also can use following method to obtain fused glass block in the forming face of counterdie: to utilize the supporting mass that places the pipeline below to receive the bottom of the molten glass flow that flows out, and supporting mass is vertically descended rapidly, make the molten glass flow bottom on the supporting mass separate with molten glass flow, provide method to the forming face of counterdie with above-mentioned isolated fused glass block; Perhaps, utilization places the supporting mass of pipeline below to receive the bottom of the molten glass flow that flows out, and the supporting of promptly removing supporting mass, to be separated with molten glass flow by the molten glass flow bottom of supporting mass supporting, and provide method to the forming face of counterdie etc. with above-mentioned isolated fused glass block.
For the fused glass block that is received on the counterdie, on counterdie it applied blast it is suspended on one side, in the movement of counterdie, cool off on one side.Modulating under the situation of drawing product through operation (2-1) and (3), in the movement of counterdie, cooling off and be adjusted to regulation viscosity.In this case, the forming face of counterdie become should the surface by punching press shape transferred thereon to forming face on glass, be level and smooth face, and, also be provided with ejection and be used for fused glass block is applied a plurality of gas vents that blast makes the gas of its suspension.And, modulating under the situation of molding in the mode of not carrying out punching press through operation (2-2), on one side applying blast and make its suspension being received in fused glass block on the counterdie on the counterdie, in the movement of counterdie, cool off on one side, and do not carry out punching press but utilize the formed suspension of described blast to be configured as the shape of regulation.In this case, forming face for counterdie, needn't form though do not carry out stamping procedure should the surface shape transferred thereon to forming face on glass, but because glass block contacts with this face with understanding temporary transient or moment, therefore also be level and smooth face, and, also be provided with ejection and be used for fused glass block is applied a plurality of gas vents that blast makes the gas of its suspension.
Usually, when making the thermoforming product from fused glass block, can prevent and the temperature of the adhesion of fused glass block that then the temperature head of fused glass block and shaping dies is very big if the temperature of shaping dies remained.Like this, if fused glass block directly contacts with the shaping dies that temperature remains below the melten glass deblocking temperature, then glass contact part by part cooling, shrink, therefore exist glass surface fold to occur and can't obtain having the danger of the thermoforming product of smooth-flat-surface.In addition, if the glass after temperature reduces directly contacts with shaping dies, also can cause glass breakage because of the phenomenon that is called as cooling crack sometimes.Therefore with respect to this, the shaping that suspends in the present invention can reduce contacting of glass and counterdie, can avoid the problems referred to above.
As the gas from above-mentioned gas ejiction opening ejection, the preferred gas that uses not with glass reaction particularly, can list air, nitrogen, rare gas element etc.And preferably the amount of this gas, pressure determine in the following manner: fused glass block is suspended be shaped, and can guarantee can not take place the stable status of the adhesion of fused glass block and counterdie on forming face.Can suitably regulate pressure, the flow of the gas of ejection according to the capacity of the glass block that is shaped.Particularly, for example, the scope that preferred described pressure is 0.3~0.5MPa, the flow of described gas are the scope of 0.25~0.45 liter of per minute.
Below, the surface up of the glass block on the forming face is defined as upper surface, will be defined as lower surface with the opposed face of forming face.
The glass block that is provided to the forming face of counterdie cools off under suspended state, in operation (2-1) it is carried out viscosity adjustment, so that it becomes the regulation viscosity that is suitable for drawing.From than being easier to the viewpoint that drawing is anticipated shape, the viscosity of the fused glass block of preferable separation (regulation viscosity) cooling is adjusted to 10 3Pool to 10 4.4Pool.
In operation (3), use patrix that the fused glass block that is adjusted to regulation viscosity in the operation (2-1) is carried out drawing.
Drawing makes at the patrix of standby above the counterdie and descends and with counterdie the glass block on the forming face is carried out that punching press carries out.Coming molding glass piece integral body with punching press when, the forming face of patrix is transferred on the upper surface of glass block, and the forming face surface transfer of counterdie is to the glass block lower surface.The periphery of the periphery of counterdie upper surface and patrix lower surface for example forms chimeric structure, before drawing, make counterdie and patrix chimeric so that contraposition is carried out at the center of counterdie forming face and the center of patrix forming face, make simultaneously counterdie forming face and patrix forming face over against, then glass block is carried out punching press.At this moment, the pressure of gas that is provided to the gas vent of counterdie is set to the degree that does not make glass enter gas vent, and on glassly also can depression not occur because of gaseous tension.After drawing, make glass from last moulding/demoulding, and patrix is kept out of the way to the top.Then, make glass block further cooling under the state that the counterdie forming face suspends after the shaping.
As mentioned above, in operation (3), use patrix to carry out drawing, be preferably and make it the prescribed position before drawing, used in drawing, carry out contraposition non-contactly with prescribed position on the forming face of counterdie, and after contraposition, use patrix to carry out drawing.And the contraposition non-contactly between the fused glass block can be undertaken by from upside (perhaps aligning parts) fused glass block being applied blast.The ejection gaseous tension of this moment for example is preferably the scope of 0.15~0.5MPa, and the ejection gas flow for example is preferably the scope of 0.15~0.45 liter of per minute.
In the movement of the counterdie in the operation (2-2), Yi Bian to fused glass block on one side with blast make it the to suspend cooling carried out and do not carry out punching press but utilize the suspension due to the blast and be configured as the regulation shape and can be undertaken by following manner.
For example, there is following method: use with porous material as counterdie to form for the recess of glass block mounting and the shaping mould by porous material ejection gas, by gushing out of described gas the glass block on the recess is applied the method that blast makes its suspension; Perhaps use the shaping dies that has the gas vent that is formed by a plurality of pores in the recess of mounting glass block, gushing out by the gas from described pore applies blast to the glass block on the recess and makes method of its suspension etc.
The gas that sprays towards the top from the gas vent that is used for suspending can be clean nitrogen, air or rare gas element.The flow of ejection gas for example can be set at the value of enough keeping the stable suspended state of glass block in the recess of shaping dies.The glass block of soft state is configured as the glass block of anticipated shape in the process that the recess of shaping dies cools off, solidifies.
Further, provide to the temperature of the gas of gas vent need be careful following some regulate.At first, its temperature can not make shaping mould be heated because of ejection gas, avoids the recess adhesion of melten glass and shaping dies.Therefore, preferably the temperature of supply gas is set at below 300 ℃.Preferably according to the temperature of adjustments of gas in-50~300 ℃ scope such as the character of the glass of shaping object, weight of performing member.
In addition because shaping dies recycles, therefore, for the temperature that prevents shaping dies owing to the thermal conduction from glass is risen, the mechanism of cooling forming mould also can be set.
Like this, in operation (3) or operation (2-2), the thermoforming product of the rotation symmetric shape that can be shaped successively.In operation (3) or operation (2-2), the molding that is cooled to specified temperature is taken out from the counterdie forming face, also can impose annealing operation to it.
In the present invention, before taking out from the counterdie forming face, make the prescribed position on the forming face of molding and counterdie carry out contraposition non-contactly, after contraposition, take out.Can be undertaken by from upside (perhaps aligning parts) molding being applied blast with the contraposition non-contactly of molding.The ejection gaseous tension of this moment for example is preferably the scope of 0.15~0.5MPa, and the ejection gas flow for example is preferably the scope of 0.15~0.45 liter of per minute.
Below, the contraposition to above-mentioned molding describes with reference to accompanying drawing.
To be arranged on the front end of the pivot arm 10 of alignment device by the aligning parts 11 that porous insert constitutes as shown in Figure 1.Form concave surface with the aligning face 11a of forming face 21 opposed aligning parts 11, and bigger than the upper surface of molding G, form the size in the whole zone of upper surface that can drape forming face G.Processes such as air, nitrogen, rare gas element are arranged on the back side 11b (the inside of aligning face 11a) that the interior gas flow path 15 of pivot arm is provided to aligning parts 11.Air, nitrogen, rare gas element etc. spray from aligning face 11a equably through the aligning parts 11 of porous insert.Utilize lifting device 13 that the part till 12 the axle is descended in this position, carry out aligning thus.
The action specification figure of alignment device shown in Fig. 2.In (A), carry out contraposition in the mode that is just going up at the center of the forming face that is centered close to counterdie 20 21 of aligning face 11a.In (B), under this state, make lifting device 13 actions of alignment device, aligning parts 11 are moved, so that aligning face 11a is near the upper surface of the molding G of forming face towards vertical below.
By this operation, shown in Fig. 2 (A), if molding G from the central offset of forming face 21, then is being offset side, the upper surface of molding G is nearer than its opposition side with the distance of aligning face 11a.Like this, the suffered blast from the gas of aligning face 11a ejection of molding G is bigger in the skew side of molding G, thereby it is consistent with the center of forming face 21 to make molding G return the center of center, molding G of forming face 21.After like this position of the molding G on the forming face 21 of counterdie 20 being corrected, the lifting device 13 of alignment device is moved so that aligning parts 11 rise, and make pivot arm 10 rotations so that aligning parts 11 are kept out of the way from the counterdie top.Also can be suppressed at rocking of the molding that rocked in the suspension process by so a series of operation.
Next, shown in (C), make the front end of the attraction nozzle 31 that the front end place of the conveying mechanical arm 30 of standby above shaping dies 20 arranges near the upper surface of molding G, molding G is attracted to remain on the front end that attracts nozzle 31, and take out from shaping dies 20.Molding G after the taking-up can suitably anneal.
The aligning operation is preferably carried out the glass block that rests on extracting position.Carry out aligning like this, adsorption nozzle is adsorbed in hermetically carried out aligning, adjusted on the upper surface of the glass block that rocks, can more reliably glass block be taken out from shaping dies.
The pass the imperial examinations at the provincial level shape of the thermoforming product shown in the example of Fig. 3 is that lower surface and upper surface all are the shapes (also can be shaped not use punching press) of convex surface.Even the peripheral part of the thermoforming product on the shaping dies under overlooking does not contact with shaping dies under non-suspended state yet.Because the peripheral part of the molding of this shape can not be subjected to the restriction of shaping dies, therefore when carrying shaping dies, glass block rocks easily, easy tram skew from the recess of shaping dies.Like this, but the present invention is particularly useful for making and has under non-suspended state lower surface contacts the shape that peripheral part do not contact with shaping dies with shaping dies thermoforming product.
Other shape as the thermoforming product, it is convex surface that lower surface can be shown for example, upper surface is the hot press-formed article of the rotation symmetric shape on plane, lower surface is convex surface, upper surface is the hot press-formed article of the rotation symmetric shape of concave surface, lower surface is convex surface, upper surface is plane and the different shapes such as hot press-formed article that have the rotation symmetric shape of recess in central authorities, but be concave surface for being used for the aligning face that hot press-formed article to these shapes carries out the position mandatory component of aligning, and form the size in whole zone that can cover glass piece upper surface.Each thermoforming product does not all have breakages such as cooling crack, can access high-quality molding.
The thermoforming product can be precision stamping shaping performing members, or are processed into the glass blank that performing member is used in the precision stamping shaping by comprising abrasive method.Be to be processed into precision stamping and to be shaped under the situation with the glass blank of performing member by comprising abrasive method at the thermoforming product, the glass blank of making is processed into the precision stamping shaping by the operation that comprises grinding at least uses performing member, can make precision stamping shaping performing member.After the thermoforming product are annealed, can grind to be finish-machined to performing member to the surface.Because the shape of hot press-formed article is the rotation symmetric shape, therefore can utilize grinding easily to make the performing member of rotation symmetric shape.
Further, be shaped by the performing member that utilizes method of the present invention to make is carried out precision stamping, also can make optical element.With the be shaped manufacturing of the optical element carry out of precision stamping, can utilize known method to implement.Can be shaped to make various non-spherical lenses such as concavees lens, convex lens, biconcave lens by performing member is carried out precision stamping.The lens that obtain like this have excellent surface accuracy, unfavorable conditions such as uneven thickness can not occur.
