Cooling system and method for rapidly cooling 3D curved surface hot-bent glass
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of glass hot bending, in particular to a cooling system and a cooling method for rapidly cooling 3D curved-surface hot-bent glass.
Background
In recent years, with the coming of 5G communication signals, the use of flexible OLED screens is becoming widespread, and the processing and production of 3D curved glass becomes an important industrial chain for manufacturing mobile phone screens. In the processing production of the 3D curved glass, the 3D curved glass is a big difficulty, the 3D curved glass is mainly limited by equipment productivity, yield, moulds, process control and the like, and the 3D curved glass development speed is limited due to the difficulty of the 3D curved glass in hot bending.
In the traditional 3D curved glass hot bending forming equipment, the heating devices of the equipment heat the graphite mould by means of electric heating tubes, infrared lamp tubes or local high-frequency radiation, so that the hot bending forming of the curved glass is achieved, and the design and the manufacture of the heating devices are key points influencing the production efficiency of the equipment. The electric heating tube has the advantages of low heating speed, complex structure, high failure rate and poor stability; although the heating speed of the infrared lamp tube is high, the temperature is difficult to control, and the radiation temperature is easy to lose, so that the temperature stability is poor; the local high-frequency radiation heating mode needs to consume a large amount of nitrogen to protect the graphite mold, consumes larger electric quantity and has higher cost. And electromagnetic induction can carry out non-contact heating to graphite mold fast, and heating efficiency is high, and the curved glass of heat of production is of high quality.
However, in the curved equipment of current traditional heat, need a plurality of stations to carry out progressively cooling down during the cooling, it is inefficient, and need a plurality of water pipe head to connect main water pipe and cold water board, cause the water pipe head to pile up and arrange densely, equipment is pleasing to the eye, and installation and debugging are troublesome. Moreover, the existing traditional hot bending equipment needs to adopt a large amount of cooling water for cooling when cooling, and the interface is easy to block when the water channels are too much, so that the water explosion pipe is easy to cause.
Therefore, from the consideration of production process and cost, the current cooling mode can not meet the requirement of rapid cooling of electromagnetic induction heating hot bending glass, and the current cooling mode greatly influences the production efficiency of the 3D curved surface glass hot bending machine and can not effectively meet the requirement of the future market.
