Embodiment
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings of embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 be the molten glass supply apparatus of one embodiment of the present invention analyse and observe explanatory view, Fig. 2 is the vertical view of the service of this molten glass supply apparatus.As shown in Figure 1, the melten glass obtained by melten glass making region 6, being made region 6 via service 1 from melten glass is transported to the melten glass supply unit 5 of float glass building mortion 7, and is configured as float glass 12 molten tin 11 that this melten glass supply unit 5 is transported to float bath 10.More particularly, the melten glass obtained by dissolving frit in region 6 is made at melten glass, make in region 6 limpid fully at melten glass further, and be cooled to obtain have the predetermined temperature of the viscosity of the shaping of applicable float glass after, utilize service 1 that this melten glass is made region 6 from melten glass to take out, and carry to this melten glass supply unit 5.Then, for the melten glass be transferred, utilize the runner be located on this melten glass supply unit 5 to control flashboard 8 and adjust melten glass amount, the melten glass that is transferred is flowed as the smooth and molten glass layers of constant thickness on tongue watt (the lip tile) 9 of melten glass supply unit 5, makes this molten glass layers overflow this tongue watts 9 and be supplied in the molten tin 11 of float bath 10.
In the present invention, it is implement the dissolving of frit, implement to dissolve the general name at the position of the limpid and cooling of melten glass that obtains etc. that melten glass makes region 6, and taking out melten glass is implement the operation after limpid, cooling as described above.
In the present invention, the opening portion 16 of above-mentioned service 1 is configured in and makes on the position of the molten glass level (liquid level of melten glass) 13 in region 6 lower than melten glass, and service 1 has scallop 3 in its downstream side.As shown in Figure 2, this scallop 3 makes the stream of melten glass from the narrower upstream extremity of width towards the opening portion 16 of top (downstream end), with predetermined angle θ 2expand in the lateral direction, and the cross-sectional shape of this scallop 3 is along with being close to opening portion 16 and flattening gradually, and as shown in Figure 1, this scallop 3 tilts upward along with being close to opening portion 16.Line tilt is gone up as described above by making this scallop 3, the height of the upstream extremity of scallop 3 is declined relative to melten glass supply unit 5, reduce the height of the upstream side of service 1 thus, therefore, it is possible to utilize service 1, take out melten glass from position relatively low compared with molten glass level 13 and make melten glass region 6.
In above-mentioned molten glass supply apparatus, be supplied to pipeline 1 be communicated with because melten glass supply unit 5 and melten glass make region 6, therefore the melten glass in melten glass supply unit 5, is maintained on the identical height of the molten glass level 13 that makes region 6 with melten glass as illustrated in fig. 1.Usually, glass makes the melten glass on the top layer of close the molten glass level 13 in region 6 compared with the melten glass than its layer on the lower, more containing foam etc., and evaporates due to a part of glass ingredient, therefore also instability on composition.Thus, if take out melten glass from the position near top layer as in the past, be easy to enter such problem such as foam in any case then all can produce.
In the present invention, can by making line tilt in scallop 3, reduce the upstream side of service 1 and make the extracting position of melten glass lower than situation in the past.Thus, as shown in Figure 1, melten glass can be taken out from the position reducing a from melten glass 13.In this case, the degree of depth (height of molten glass level 13) of the melten glass that the length of a mainly makes in region 6 according to melten glass decides, but as the size of a, is usually preferably about 250mm ~ 900mm.As long as be located within the scope of this by the extracting position of the melten glass of service 1, just can avoid the melten glass near molten glass level 13, the good melten glass that taking-up foam etc. are less.And, because the upstream side of service 1 declines, therefore, it is possible to form desired upper line tilt in scallop 3.Usually the viscosity to the melten glass of float bath supply is 10 3.5dPas ~ 10 4about dPas, this viscosity is higher, therefore when the foam (gas) that the melten glass in utilizing service 1 to carry produces floats, this viscosity forms resistance, but by line tilt can be formed in above-mentioned scallop 3, comprehensively make buoyancy and the melten glass mobilization in an inclined direction of foam action, therefore, it is possible to foam to be directed effectively to the upper end side of scallop 3, make this foam float to the top layer of melten glass and discharge.
Service 1 in the present invention is formed with the ingress pipe portion of the upstream side being located at this scallop 3 by above-mentioned scallop 3.The service 1 of this example is formed by scallop 3 being coupled together with the cylindrical duct 2 configured in the horizontal direction.Namely, the downstream end making the cylindrical duct 2 that region 6 is connected at upstream extremity and melten glass is connected scallop 3, utilize cylindrical duct 2 take out melten glass make region 6 melten glass and imported in scallop 3, from this scallop 3(service 1) opening portion 16 send to melten glass supply unit 5.Thus, the cross-sectional shape of the upstream extremity as the connection section be connected with cylindrical duct 2 of scallop 3 is circles corresponding with cylindrical duct 2, but from this upstream extremity, above-mentioned cross-sectional shape reduces height h gradually along with the flattening of scallop 3 and is changed to ellipticity, at opening portion 16 place, basic configuration becomes the laterally longer ellipse that long limit rectangle longer in the horizontal direction or major axis extend in the horizontal direction.Particularly based on following advantage, preferred cross-sections shape is rectangular opening portion: by making the width of transverse width (length on long limit) and melten glass supply unit 5 width of paper vertical direction (in FIG with) roughly consistent, can melten glass is roughly the same with the width of melten glass supply unit 5 as width, thickness in the horizontal direction the melten glass of constant flow to melten glass supply unit 5 and send.
If above-mentioned service 1 is formed by the ingress pipe portion that scallop 3 is such with the cylindrical duct 2 of this example as described above, then can obtain following advantage.That is, by changing the length in ingress pipe portion, the length of service 1 can be made simply consistent with the gap that melten glass makes between region 6 and melten glass supply unit 5.In addition, by by the configuration of ingress pipe portion in generally horizontal directions, region 6 can be made from melten glass and take out melten glass swimmingly, and in this ingress pipe portion, such as can set up whipping appts as required.In addition, in this example, use cylindrical duct 2 as above-mentioned ingress pipe portion, and configure this cylindrical duct in the horizontal direction, but also can be such as cross-sectional shape as ingress pipe portion be tubular body arranged inside that is oval or rectangle.In addition, ingress pipe portion not necessarily needs to configure in the horizontal direction, also on the flow direction of melten glass, can go up line tilt slightly.In addition, when being the ingress pipe portion of ellipse or rectangle when adopting cross-sectional shape, the cross-sectional shape of the upstream extremity be connected with this ingress pipe portion of scallop 3 is also consistent with ingress pipe portion, is formed as oval or rectangle.
In above-mentioned scallop 3, preferably, the sectional area of opening portion 16 is roughly the same with the sectional area as the upstream extremity with the connection section that cylindrical duct 2 is connected.Specifically, the sectional area (M of the upstream extremity of preferred scallop 3 1) with the sectional area (M of downstream end (opening portion 16) 2) ratio (M 1/ M 2) be 0.7 ~ 1.3.More preferably (M 1/ M 2) be 0.8 ~ 1.2, preferred (M further 1/ M 2) be 0.9 ~ 1.1, particularly preferably (M 1/ M 2) be 0.95 ~ 1.05.By the sectional area of the upstream extremity and downstream end that so set scallop 3, the melten glass sent from cylindrical duct 2 can be made stably to send to melten glass supply unit 5 without stagnantly, stably from opening portion 16.Then, even if cross-sectional shape is as described above such as from circle to rectangle or gradually change elliptically, in fact the sectional area on the direction orthogonal with the throughput direction of melten glass of scallop 3 does not change and and M 1, M 2identical.
In addition, preferably in the downstream end portion close with the opening portion 16 of scallop 3 of service 1, horizontal par 4 is set.Because scallop 3 has up angle of inclination, the melten glass therefore in scallop 3 is shown greatly this angle of inclination from opening portion 16 and is sent to melten glass supply unit 5.Therefore, when the downstream end office of scallop 3 is not provided with par 4, due to melten glass directly as molten glass flow upward from opening portion 16 to after melten glass supply unit 5 is sent, the runner described later collided being oppositely arranged with opening portion 16 controls on flashboard 8, controlled flashboard face by this runner to rebound and make direction become upward, therefore likely produce disorderly at the melten glass place at melten glass supply unit 5 place.But, if at scallop 3(service 1) opening portion on be provided with par 4, then utilize this par 4 that the flow direction of melten glass is changed into horizontal direction, and melten glass rectification can be made and send to melten glass supply unit 5, therefore, it is possible to do not produce disorder.In this case, in order to this rectification is reliably carried out in the exit in scallop 3, par 4 has constant length x, and preferably its cross-sectional shape and sectional area identical on the throughput direction of melten glass.Above-mentioned x according to the change such as size, angle of inclination of scallop 3, not circumscribed, but be preferably about about 50mm ~ 200mm.
In melten glass supply unit 5 of the present invention, preferred service 1(scallop 3) opening portion 16 relative to molten glass level 13, there is following relation.Height b from the upper surface of the opening portion 16 of scallop 3 to molten glass level 13 is preferably 5mm ~ 500mm.And then, be more preferably 5mm ~ 450mm.If b is less than 5mm, then the blank of surface heterogeneous medium can be mixed in the main flow of melten glass, if b exceedes about 500mm, is then difficult to the temperature of the melten glass maintaining this part, therefore not preferred.In addition, be preferably 100mm ~ 600mm from the lower surface of opening portion 16 upper surface of 9 (tongue watt) to the height c of molten glass level 13, be more preferably 350mm ~ 550mm.Control from relying on runner this point of flow control that flashboard carries out melten glass, preferred c ensures inferior limit 100mm, if c is more than 600mm, then is likely difficult to carry out relying on runner to control the flow control of the melten glass that flashboard carries out.
Then, the up angle of inclination of scallop 3 and the expansion angle of left and right directions are described.In the present invention, according to the tilt angle theta of the upper end 14 of scallop 3 1come the up angle of inclination of regulation scallop 3.At this, the upper end 14 of scallop 3 is top end parts of the melten glass stream of the scallop 3 of the medullary ray 15 of the throughput direction being positioned at melten glass as illustrated in fig. 2 in the vertical view of scallop 3, when being provided with par 4 as in this example in the downstream end portion of scallop 3, the upper end 14 of scallop 3 is the top end parts in the region except this par 4 of melten glass stream.In addition, as the tilt angle theta of the upper surface 14 according to scallop 3 1carry out the reason at the up angle of inclination of regulation scallop 3, be listed below: because the height h of scallop 3 successively decreases on the throughput direction of melten glass, therefore the angle of inclination of scallop 3 is different from lower surface place at upper surface, need some benchmark selected, and when sending melten glass to melten glass supply unit 5, the effect of the upper surface of the upper limit of restriction molten glass flow is larger.
In the present invention, the tilt angle theta of the upper end 14 of scallop 3 1be preferably 2 degree ~ 30 degree relative to horizontal direction, more preferably in 2 degree ~ 20 degree, be preferably further 2 degree ~ 7 degree.If θ 1be less than 2 degree, then owing to not making the position of the upstream extremity of scallop 3 (connection section be connected with cylindrical duct 2) decline fully relative to melten glass supply unit 5 and molten glass level 13, therefore likely can not avoid the melten glass of more and unstable on composition due to the evaporation of the glass ingredient skin section such as foam and take out good melten glass.In addition, if θ 1more than 30 degree, then the extracting position of the melten glass of service 1 is too low, not only the suitable position that melten glass makes region from melten glass cannot be taken out, and forms inclination sharply due to service 1, is therefore difficult to transferring of molten glass swimmingly.
On the other hand, the expansion angle θ of the left and right directions of scallop 3 2be preferably 10 degree ~ 45 degree.If θ 2be less than 10 degree, then especially as this example, when the upstream extremity of scallop 3 is circular, relatively little due to the diameter of the transverse width corresponding circle bobbin 2 of this upstream extremity, therefore can not realize scallop 3(service 1 fully) the expansion of opening portion 16, be difficult to make the transverse width of opening portion 16 meet the transverse width of melten glass supply unit 5.In addition, if θ 2be greater than 45 degree, then the melten glass owing to sending from cylindrical duct 2 is expanded in the horizontal sharp at the upstream extremity of scallop 3, and it is slow to produce in the molten glass flow at the two ends therefore changed greatly in direction, cannot transferring of molten glass equably.From this point, more preferably θ 2it is 15 degree ~ 20 degree.
In the present invention, the supply material of pipeline 1, preferred thermotolerance and for the good platinum of erosion resistance of melten glass or platinum alloy (such as platinum-rhodium alloy), or by material that platinum or platinum alloy cover.Platinum or platinum alloy have excellent actual effect in this kind of purposes, are particularly suitable for the melten glass that forming temperature as LCD glass substrate is higher.As the material covered by platinum or platinum alloy, for example there are the material covering the internal surface of the heat-resistant components such as brick with platinum or platinum alloy.
In addition, although not shown, but preferably utilize energising to heat equably in the ingress pipe portion of the service 1 formed by these materials and/or scallop.Electrified regulation is by platinum or platinum alloy direct-electrifying or carry out being energized to this material when the material covered by platinum or platinum alloy is conductive material and carry out.To make in process that the high temperature molten glass taken out in region 6 is transported in melten glass supply unit 5 from melten glass in service 1, because this melten glass and ambient air are fully isolated, therefore, it is possible to prevent the cooling caused with the contact of air, and utilize the electrified regulation of above-mentioned service 1 in fact to remain uniform temperature, be transported to melten glass supply unit 5 with the temperature being suitable for being shaped.
In the present invention, runner controls flashboard 8 and service 1(scallop 3) opening portion 16 be located at face to face on melten glass supply unit 5.It is by by facing for the opening portion 16 of heat-resistant component and scallop 3 and liftably arrange and form that this runner controls flashboard 8, this heat-resistant component has the width roughly the same with the width of the transverse width of the opening portion 16 of scallop 3 and melten glass supply unit 5 (being the width vertical with paper in FIG), this runner controls flashboard 8 can change height by moving up and down, thus regulate the melten glass amount supplied to float bath 10, in addition, by controlling the melten glass carried to melten glass supply unit 5 from top, the molten glass layers of thickness thin layer constant is in the horizontal it can be used as to supply to float bath 10.In addition, by dropping to its lowermost position, the supply of the melten glass to float bath can be stopped.
When above-mentioned runner is controlled flashboard 8 and service 1(scallop 3) opening portion 16 facing setting, the gap d that this runner controls between flashboard 8 and opening portion 16 is preferably 0mm ~ 30mm, is more preferably 0mm ~ 20mm.At this, gap d is that 0mm refers to that runner being controlled the opening portion 16 that flashboard 8 is positioned as close to scallop 3 is arranged.The melten glass be transported to hermetically in melten glass supply unit 5 in order to avoid being supplied to pipeline 1 contacts with ambient air at this melten glass supply unit 5 place, and preferred gap d is little as much as possible.Because the melten glass of melten glass supply unit 5 forms free surface at this gap d place, if therefore this gap d is comparatively large, then the area contacted with ambient air increases, thus is cooled or causes the evaporation of a part of glass ingredient.If gap d becomes be greater than 30mm, then above-mentioned unfavorable condition becomes remarkable, therefore not preferred.
In one embodiment of the present invention, above-mentioned runner control flashboard 8 can be formed by covering with platinum or platinum alloy with the major portion of the heat-resistant component making such as silica glass pottery (fused silica).Then, by carrying out electrified regulation to this platinum or platinum alloy in the same manner as above-mentioned service 1, the melten glass being transported to melten glass supply unit 5 is remained predetermined temperature.The electrified regulation that this runner controls flashboard 8 and service 1 can suitably carry out in a known manner.
Above, describe one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.Fig. 3 is the outline longitudinal section of other embodiment representing scallop 3 of the present invention.This scallop 3 towards opening portion 16, the basic body of line tilt is identical with the scallop 3 of Fig. 1 on the whole, but as shown in Figure 3, it is different for a little convexly bending this point in upside at the stream of melten glass on the throughput direction of melten glass, certainly, the upper end 14 of scallop 3 bends similarly.Even if scallop 3 bends as described above, because basic body is identical with the scallop 3 of Fig. 1, therefore, it is possible to obtain identical function.In addition, can by the tilt angle theta of the upper end 14 of scallop 3 bending as described above 1be set as the angle (that is, link the straight line angle relative to horizontal direction at the two ends of curved part) of funnel-form enlarged portion 17 relative to horizontal direction.
Although in detail and describe the application with reference to specific embodiment, clearly known for those skilled in the art, various change, correction can be applied when not departing from thought of the present invention and scope.
The application to be willing to (Patent 2009-261362) based on the Japanese Patent of applying on November 16th, 2009, its content is enrolled in the application as reference at this.
