Glass forming device

According to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a glass forming apparatus 200 of a glass hot bending device, as shown with reference to fig. 7 to 11, the glass forming apparatus 200 including: a molding box 210, in which a molding chamber 211 is formed, a molding opening 212 communicating with the molding chamber 211 is provided on the molding box 210, and a molding sealing door 213 is movably provided at the molding opening 212; and a forming mold 220 disposed in the forming chamber 211 and including a positioning mold 221 and a hot bending mold 222, wherein the positioning mold 221 has a first temperature and includes a first positioning mold 2211 and a second positioning mold 2212 with opposite action surfaces, the hot bending mold 222 has a second temperature and includes a first hot bending mold 2221 and a second hot bending mold 2222 with opposite forming surfaces, and the first positioning mold 2211 is used for pressing and holding a planar portion of the glass 500 on the second positioning mold 2212, so that the first hot bending mold 2221 and the second hot bending mold 2222 can be used for heating the hot bending portion of the glass 500 and driving the hot bending portion to generate hot bending deformation relative to the planar portion, wherein the first temperature is less than the second temperature.

Through the above technical solution, in the glass forming apparatus 200 provided by the present disclosure, by setting the forming box 210 and the forming mold 220, forming the forming cavity 211 inside the forming box 210, forming the forming opening 212 communicating with the forming cavity 211 inside on the forming box 210, and movably setting the forming sealing door 213 at the forming opening 212, the glass 500 to be hot-formed is put into the forming mold 220 in the forming cavity 211 through the forming opening 212, the forming opening 212 is plugged by the forming sealing door 213, and finally the glass 500 placed in the forming cavity 211 is hot-formed by the forming mold 220. By arranging the positioning mold 221 and the hot bending mold 222 with different temperatures in the forming chamber 211 formed in the forming box 210, and enabling the positioning mold 221 to comprise a first positioning mold 2211 and a second positioning mold 2212 with opposite acting surfaces, and enabling the hot bending mold 222 to comprise a first hot bending mold 2221 and a second hot bending mold 2222 with opposite forming surfaces, when the glass 500 is hot-bent, firstly, the first positioning mold 2211 and the second positioning mold 2212 with opposite acting surfaces are used for compacting and positioning the plane part of the glass 500, then the hot bending mold 222 with a second temperature is used for heating the hot bending part of the glass 500 to gradually reach the hot bending temperature, and finally, the glass 500 at the hot bending part is subjected to hot bending deformation relative to the glass 500 at the plane part by combining the first hot bending mold 2221 and the second hot bending mold 2222. In the above process, since the positioning mold 221 has the first temperature, the positioning mold 221 can also give a certain temperature to the part of the glass 500 while pressing and positioning the planar part of the glass 500, so as to avoid the change of the physical properties of the glass 500 and even the burst of the glass 500 caused by the overlarge temperature difference between the part of the glass 500 at the planar part and the part of the glass 500 at the later hot-bending part requiring hot-bending molding. In addition, since the heating temperatures adopted by the glass 500 for different regions in the hot bending forming process are different, that is, the first temperature of the positioning mold 221 corresponding to the plane part of the non-hot bending forming region is smaller than the second temperature of the hot bending mold 222 corresponding to the hot bending part of the hot bending forming region, the positioning mold 221 corresponding to the non-hot bending region can be heated to a lower temperature on the premise of ensuring that the temperature difference between the non-hot bending region and the hot bending region of the glass 500 does not influence the performance of the glass 500, so that the heat consumption of the glass 500 in the hot bending forming process is reduced.

The working surface of the molding die 220 of the present disclosure, that is, the surface of the molding die 220 that contacts the glass 500, is configured according to the shape of the glass 500 to be hot-bent, and when the glass 500 with a different shape is to be hot-bent, the molding die 220 is replaced correspondingly.

Further, since the second positioning mold 2212 is provided with the second positioning lift mechanism 232 capable of controlling the lift of the second positioning mold 2212, the height of the glass 500 placed in the molding chamber 211 can be adjusted by controlling the lift of the second positioning mold 2212 by the second positioning lift mechanism 232. In addition, the hot bending lifting mechanism 240 includes a first hot bending lifting mechanism 241 and a second hot bending lifting mechanism 242 which are respectively and correspondingly fixed at the top and the bottom of the forming box 210, the first hot bending lifting mechanism 241 passes through the top of the forming box 210 to be connected with the first hot bending die 2221 so as to drive the first hot bending die 2221 to lift, and the second hot bending lifting mechanism 242 passes through the bottom of the forming box 210 to be connected with the second hot bending die 2222 so as to drive the second hot bending die 2222 to lift, by such arrangement, not only the hot bending deformation of the hot bending part of the glass 500 can occur relative to the plane part of the glass 500, but also the relative position change between the dies can be controlled by adjusting the lifting amplitude of each lifting mechanism, as the positioning die 221 and the hot bending die 222 are independently controlled by the respective corresponding lifting mechanisms, so that the hot bending forming of the glass 500 with different curvatures can be realized.
