Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ドーム状の曲面を有するストーブ用透明ガラス板及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、結晶化ガラスは、機械部品、電子部品を始め、広範な用途に利用されており、その材質についても各種提案されている。
【0003】
例えば、本出願人も特許文献1において、質量百分率で、TiO 1〜3%、ZrO1〜4%、P 1〜5%、SiO 55〜70%、Al 20〜35%、LiO 3〜5%、NaO+KO 0.5〜4%の組成を有し、内部にβ−ユークリプタイト結晶、すなわちβ−石英固溶体結晶を析出してなるLiO−Al−SiO系透明結晶化ガラスを提案している。
【0004】
また、ガラス板の曲げ方法や設備等に関して以下に示す特許文献2〜5がある。特許文献2は、既存の単曲面のガラス板を生産する生産ライン設備の大部分を利用し、簡単な設備の変更のみで行える複曲面ガラス板の曲げ成形方法を提案している。
【0005】
特許文献3は、曲率半径が900〜1300R(単位:mm)である曲面を有するガラス板状体である曲面ガラスであって、モールド上にガラス板状体を載置し、加熱炉で自重曲げ方式により屈曲させる方法を提案している。
【0006】
特許文献4は、セラミックス又はガラスからなる被成形体を所望の形状に曲げ成形でき、型制作費が安く、かつ型合わせが容易な熱間粒圧成形方法を提案している。
【0007】
特許文献5は、ガラスの幅方向の曲げ成形をする既存の加熱成形炉及び急冷装置を利用し、ガラスの幅方向及びガラスの長手方向の曲げ成形ができる方法及び設備を提案している。
【0008】
ところで、この種の結晶化ガラスからなる板ガラスは、耐熱性に優れているため、例えば暖炉やストーブの前面窓として好適であるが、近年、燃焼室の拡大による燃焼効率の向上、熱線の放射効率の向上およびデザイン性からこのような用途に使用される結晶化ガラス板の形状としては、ドーム状曲面を有するものが要求されつつある。
【0009】
一般に、ドーム状曲面を有する結晶化ガラス板を製造する場合には、まず溶融ガラスを成形して結晶性ガラス板を作製する。次いでこの結晶性ガラス板を所定寸法に切断し、ドーム状曲面の型面を有する下型材の型面上に配置し、さらに結晶性ガラス板上に上型材を載置した状態で加熱炉内に入れ、室温から650〜800℃の温度まで加熱することによって、結晶性ガラス板の形状を上記型面に略合致するように曲げた後、徐冷する。次いでこのドーム状曲面を有するガラス板を、これが嵌合するような型面を有する型材の上に載置した状態で、再度、加熱炉内に入れ、室温から800〜900℃の温度まで加熱することによってガラス中に多数の結晶核を生成させ、さらに結晶を析出させることによって透明結晶化ガラスの曲げ板が製造されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のようなガラスの曲げ板及びその製造方法では、例えば、ドーム状曲面を有する結晶化ガラス板を製造するために大きな上下の型材と、それらを駆動するための装置が必要になり、コスト高になる。
【0012】
また、このような形状の型面を有する上下の型材を準備し、それらで結晶性ガラス板を挟み込んだ状態で加熱するため、出来上がった結晶化ガラスの曲げ板のドーム状曲面(凸側及び凸側双方の表面)には型材の跡が付き、凹凸等のピットが多くなり、不良率がアップする問題が生じる。
【0013】
さらに、窓ガラス等の曲げ成形をする既存の加熱成形炉及び急冷装置では、ドーム状曲面を有する透明結晶化ガラス板を製造する上で、耐熱性、温度制御範囲とその精度、及び型の強度等の点で問題がある。
【0014】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みなされたものであり、透明結晶化ガラスからなり、短辺方向および長辺方向に曲率半径を有するドーム状曲面のような特殊形状を有し、且つ表面性状が良く、さらに安価なストーブ用透明ガラス板を提供することを目的とする。
【0015】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に係るストーブ用透明ガラス板は、ガラス中にβ―石英固溶体結晶を析出させたLiO−Al−SiO系結晶化ガラスからなり、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mm以上で、且つ長辺方向の曲率半径が500mm以上のドーム状曲面を有することを特徴とする。
【0016】
また、本発明のストーブ用透明ガラス板は、ドーム状曲面の凸面側表面または凹面側表面が自由表面であることを特徴とする。
【0017】
本発明に係るストーブ用透明ガラス板の製造方法は、LiO−Al−SiO系の結晶性ガラス板を型材の型面上に配置し、該結晶性ガラス板を850℃以上の温度で加熱して軟化変形させることにより型材の型面に合致させると共に、ガラス中にβ―石英固溶体結晶を析出させ、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mm以上で、且つ長辺方向の曲率半径が500mm以上のドーム状曲面を形成することを特徴とする。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明において使用するLiO−Al−SiO系結晶性ガラスの歪点は650℃以上であり、それ以上の温度で加熱することによって軟化変形するが、短辺と長辺がある略矩形状(即ち略長方形)や略楕円状等の平面形状を有し、その短辺方向の曲率半径を150mm以上で、且つ長辺方向の曲率半径を500mm以上に設定することによって自重が効果的に作用し、さらに精度良く曲げることができる。また、強制的に負荷された荷重による変形ではないので、曲げ板の表面に型材の跡、いわゆるピットが発生しにくい。また、この際の、結晶性ガラスの厚さとしては、ストーブ用透明ガラス板に適しており、且つ所望の結晶を所望の状態に析出させて精度良く曲げることが可能な厚さであればよく、1mm〜10mmの間で、例えば、強度及び重量等の点から2mm〜6mmが好ましい。
【0019】
ところが、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mmより小さいか、または長辺方向の曲率半径500mmより小さいと自重と、LiO−Al−SiO系結晶性ガラスを軟化変形によって精度良く曲げることができないので、板の上部から強制的に荷重を加えることによって曲げるため、出来上がった曲げ板の表面にピット等の欠陥が出やすい。
【0020】
この系の結晶性ガラスは、850〜900℃の温度で加熱することによってガラス中に多数のβ―石英固溶体結晶が析出するため、耐熱性に優れた材料となる。特に、特許文献1に開示された結晶化ガラスのように30〜380℃の温度範囲において10×10−7/K以下の熱膨張係数を有するため、ストーブに使用して結晶化ガラス板に大きな温度差が生じた場合でも殆ど応力が発生せず非常に優れた耐熱性を有している。
【0021】
また、本発明で使用する型材の材料としては、ムライト質等の耐火物や耐熱鋼、また、表面が比較的柔らかく、しかも平滑な表面を有するシャモットの素焼き品を使用することができる。
【0022】
更に、従来は上記した結晶性ガラス板への型跡の問題については、結晶性ガラス板と型材との間に、アルミナ・シリカ等から作製され、耐熱性に優れ、表面が比較的柔らかいセラミックペーパーを介在させることによって解消させていたが、本発明では結晶性ガラス板が加圧されることなく自重のみで軟化変形して型材に接触するため、凹凸のない表面性状の優れたものが得られ、歩留りが著しく向上するため大幅にコストダウンを図ることができる。
【0023】
以下、本発明のストーブ用透明ガラス板として、結晶化ガラスのドーム状曲げ板の実施例に基づいて詳細に説明する。
【0024】
(実施例1)図1は、本発明で結晶性ガラス板10が型材11の上に配置された状態を示す説明図、図2は、図1の結晶性ガラス板10を加熱した後に、型面11aに略合致するような形状を有する結晶化ガラス板12が位置する状態を示す説明図である。
【0025】
まず、質量百分率で、LiO 4%、Al 23%、SiO 67%、TiO 2%、ZrO 3%、P 1%からなり、短辺が450mm、長辺が650mmの略矩形状(即ち略長方形)の平面形状を有し、厚さ4.0mmの寸法を有する平板状の結晶性ガラス板10を準備した。
【0026】
また、湾曲状の凹部が型面11aとして形成された型材11を準備した。尚、型材11は、シャモットの素焼き品からなる。次いで図1に示すように、型材11の型面11a上に結晶性ガラス板10を配置し、その状態で加熱炉に入れた。
【0027】
次いで、加熱炉内を室温から約650℃まで300℃/時間の速度で昇温した後、850℃まで10℃/時間の速度で昇温することによって、図2に示すように結晶性ガラス板10の形状を型面11aに略合致するように変形させると共に、ガラス中に多数のβ−石英固溶体結晶を析出させ、その結果、平面形状が略矩形状(即ち略長方形)で短辺方向の曲率半径230mm、長辺方向の曲率半径が2460mm、厚さが4.0mmの湾曲形状(ドーム状曲面)を有する結晶化ガラス板12を得た。
【0028】
こうして得られた結晶化ガラス板12を型材11から取り外し、その外観を観察した。その結果、結晶化ガラス板12のドーム状曲面の凹面側表面が型材の表面に接触しない自由表面であり、且つ凸面側表面にもピット等の型跡はまったく認められなかった。また、短辺方向および長辺方向の曲率半径は、スリットゲージで測定した結果、上記に示すような所望の寸法になっていた。
【0029】
(実施例2)図3は、本発明で結晶性ガラス板20が型材21の上に位置する状態を示す説明図、図4は、図3の結晶性ガラス板20を加熱した後に、型面21aに略合致するような形状を有する結晶化ガラス板22が位置する状態を示す説明図である。
【0030】
まず、組成が実施例1の結晶性ガラス板10と同じであり、短辺が450mm、長辺が650mm、厚さが4.0mmの寸法を有する平板状の結晶性ガラス板20を準備した。
【0031】
また、湾曲状の凸部が型面21aとして形成されたシャモットの素焼き品からなる型材21を準備した。次に図3に示すように、型材21の型面上に結晶性ガラス板20を配置した状態で加熱炉に入れた。
【0032】
次いで、加熱炉内を室温から約650℃まで300℃/時間の速度で昇温した後、850℃まで10℃/時間の速度で昇温することによって、図4に示すように結晶性ガラス板10の形状を型面21aに略合致するように変形させると共に、ガラス中に多数のβ−石英固溶体結晶を析出させ、その結果、短辺方向の曲率半径230mm、長辺方向の曲率半径2460mm、厚さが4.0mmの湾曲形状(ドーム状曲面)を有する結晶化ガラス板22を得た。
【0033】
こうして得られた結晶化ガラス板22を型材21から取り外し、その外観を観察した。その結果、結晶化ガラス板22のドーム状曲面の凸面側表面が型材の表面に接触しない自由表面であり、且つ凹面側表面にもピット等の型跡はまったく認められなかった。また短辺方向および長辺方向の曲率半径は、スリットゲージで測定した結果、上記に示す所望の寸法になっていた。
【0034】
(比較例1)まず、実施例1の結晶性ガラス板10と同様の組成からなり、短辺が350mm、長辺が650mm、厚さが4.0mmの寸法を有する平板状の結晶性ガラス板を準備した。また、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mm未満の曲面状の凹部(短辺方向の曲率半径が120mm、長辺方向の曲率半径が2000mm)が形成された型材を準備した。
【0035】
次いで型材の型面上に上記の結晶性ガラス板を配置した後、これを加熱炉内に入れ、実施例1と同様の条件で熱処理することによって、結晶化ガラスの曲げ板が得られた。
【0036】
こうして得られた結晶化ガラス板を型材から取り外し、その外観を観察したところ、比較例1の結晶化ガラス板は、その表面が波打った状態であり、短辺方向の曲率半径は、所望の120mmでなく、ねじれが生じていた。しかし、ガラス中に多数のβ−石英固溶体結晶が析出した結晶化ガラスになっていた。
【0037】
尚、実施例1、2および比較例1の各結晶化ガラス板の析出結晶は、X線回折装置によって同定した。
【0038】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明のストーブ用透明ガラス板は、ガラス中にβ―石英固溶体結晶を析出させたLiO−Al−SiO系結晶化ガラスからなり、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mm以上で、且つ長辺方向の曲率半径が500mm以上のドーム状曲面を有するので、優れた耐熱性を有し、且つ上記曲率のドーム状曲面により構成される暖炉やストーブの前面窓等に適している。
【0039】
また、本発明のストーブ用透明ガラス板は、ドーム状曲面の凸面側表面または凹面側表面が自由表面であるので、ピット等の型跡による欠陥がなく高い強度を有し、且つ凹凸面側表面が滑らかで透明度も高く美観にも優れたものである。
【0040】
また、本発明のストーブ用透明ガラス板の製造方法は、結晶性を有するLiO−Al−SiO系のガラス板を型材の型面上に配置し、該ガラス板を850℃以上の温度で加熱して軟化変形させることにより型材の型面に沿わせると共に、ガラス中にβ―石英固溶体結晶を析出させ、短辺方向の曲率半径が150mm以上で、且つ長辺方向の曲率半径が500mm以上のドーム状曲面を形成するので、型材の跡による凹凸等のピットが激減し、大幅に不良率を下げることが可能となる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a transparent glass plate for a stove having a dome-shaped curved surface and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, crystallized glass has been used for a wide range of uses including mechanical parts and electronic parts, and various materials have been proposed.
[0003]
For example, the present applicant also discloses in Patent Document 1 that, by mass percentage, TiO 2 1 to 3%, ZrO 2 1 to 4%, P 2 O 5 1 to 5%, SiO 2 55 to 70%, Al 2 O 3 20 ~35%, Li 2 O 3~5% , Na 2 O + K 2 O 0.5~4% of a composition, formed by precipitating inside β- eucryptite crystals, i.e. β- quartz solid solution crystal Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 transparent crystallized glass has been proposed.
[0004]
In addition, there are Patent Documents 2 to 5 described below regarding a bending method and equipment of a glass plate. Patent Literature 2 proposes a method for bending a multi-curved glass sheet that can be performed by using a large part of existing production line equipment for producing a single-curved glass sheet and by simply changing the equipment.
[0005]
Patent Literature 3 is a curved glass having a curved surface with a radius of curvature of 900 to 1300 R (unit: mm). The glass plate is placed on a mold and bent by a heating furnace under its own weight. A method of bending according to the method is proposed.
[0006]
Patent Literature 4 proposes a hot-granular compaction method that can be used to bend a formed body made of ceramics or glass into a desired shape, has low mold production costs, and is easy to match.
[0007]
Patent Literature 5 proposes a method and equipment capable of bending a glass in the width direction and in the longitudinal direction of the glass by using an existing heating forming furnace and a quenching device for bending the glass in the width direction.
[0008]
By the way, sheet glass made of this type of crystallized glass is excellent in heat resistance, so it is suitable as a front window of a fireplace or a stove, for example. From the standpoint of improvement in design and design, the shape of a crystallized glass plate used for such an application is required to have a dome-shaped curved surface.
[0009]
Generally, when producing a crystallized glass plate having a dome-shaped curved surface, first, a molten glass is formed to produce a crystalline glass plate. Next, this crystalline glass plate is cut into a predetermined size, placed on a mold surface of a lower mold material having a mold surface of a dome-shaped curved surface, and further placed in a heating furnace with the upper mold material placed on the crystalline glass plate. Then, by heating from room temperature to a temperature of 650 to 800 ° C., the crystalline glass plate is bent so as to substantially conform to the mold surface, and then gradually cooled. Next, in a state where the glass plate having the dome-shaped curved surface is placed on a mold having a mold surface to which the glass plate fits, the glass plate is placed again in a heating furnace and heated from room temperature to a temperature of 800 to 900 ° C. As a result, a large number of crystal nuclei are generated in the glass, and the crystals are further precipitated to produce a bent plate of transparent crystallized glass.

[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described bent plate of glass and the method of manufacturing the same, for example, large upper and lower mold members for manufacturing a crystallized glass plate having a dome-shaped curved surface, and a device for driving them are required, Increases costs.
[0012]
In addition, since upper and lower mold members having a mold surface of such a shape are prepared and heated with a crystalline glass plate sandwiched therebetween, the dome-shaped curved surface (convex side and convex surface) of the finished crystallized glass bent plate is used. Marks on the both sides), the number of pits such as irregularities increases, and a problem of an increase in the defective rate occurs.
[0013]
Furthermore, the existing heat forming furnace and quenching apparatus for bending window glass and the like require heat resistance, temperature control range and its accuracy, and mold strength in producing a transparent crystallized glass sheet having a dome-shaped curved surface. There is a problem in such points.
[0014]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has a special shape such as a dome-shaped curved surface made of transparent crystallized glass and having a radius of curvature in a short side direction and a long side direction, and has a surface texture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transparent glass plate for a stove which is good and cheap.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The transparent glass plate for a stove according to the present invention is made of Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 crystallized glass in which β-quartz solid solution crystals are precipitated in the glass, and has a radius of curvature in the short side direction of 150 mm or more. And a dome-shaped curved surface having a radius of curvature in the long side direction of 500 mm or more.
[0016]
Further, the transparent glass plate for a stove of the present invention is characterized in that the convex side surface or the concave side surface of the dome-shaped curved surface is a free surface.
[0017]
In the method for producing a transparent glass plate for a stove according to the present invention, a Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystalline glass plate is arranged on a mold surface of a mold, and the crystalline glass plate is heated to 850 ° C. or higher. Heating and softening deformation at the temperature to match the mold surface of the mold material, precipitate β-quartz solid solution crystal in the glass, the radius of curvature in the short side direction is 150 mm or more, and the radius of curvature in the long side direction Form a dome-shaped curved surface of 500 mm or more.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The strain point of the Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystalline glass used in the present invention is 650 ° C. or higher, and the glass is softened and deformed by heating at a temperature higher than 650 ° C. It has a planar shape such as a certain substantially rectangular shape (that is, a substantially rectangular shape) or a substantially elliptical shape, and its own weight is set to be 150 mm or more in the short side direction and 500 mm or more in the long side direction. It works effectively and can be bent more precisely. In addition, since the deformation is not caused by the forcibly applied load, traces of the mold material, so-called pits, are less likely to occur on the surface of the bent plate. In this case, the thickness of the crystalline glass may be any thickness that is suitable for a transparent glass plate for a stove, and that can precipitate a desired crystal in a desired state and bend accurately. It is preferably between 1 mm and 10 mm, for example, between 2 mm and 6 mm in terms of strength and weight.
[0019]
However, if the radius of curvature in the short side direction is smaller than 150 mm or the radius of curvature in the long side direction is smaller than 500 mm, the Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystalline glass is accurately bent by softening deformation. Since it is impossible to perform bending by forcibly applying a load from the top of the plate, defects such as pits are likely to appear on the surface of the completed bent plate.
[0020]
By heating the crystalline glass of this type at a temperature of 850 to 900 ° C., a large number of β-quartz solid solution crystals are precipitated in the glass, and thus the material is excellent in heat resistance. In particular, since the crystallized glass has a thermal expansion coefficient of 10 × 10 −7 / K or less in a temperature range of 30 to 380 ° C. as in the case of the crystallized glass disclosed in Patent Document 1, the crystallized glass plate used for a stove is large. Even when a temperature difference occurs, almost no stress is generated, and it has very excellent heat resistance.
[0021]
Further, as the material of the mold used in the present invention, a refractory such as mullite or heat-resistant steel, or an unbaked chamotte having a relatively soft and smooth surface can be used.
[0022]
Furthermore, regarding the problem of the mold trace on the crystalline glass plate as described above, ceramic paper made of alumina, silica, or the like between the crystalline glass plate and the mold, has excellent heat resistance, and has a relatively soft surface. However, in the present invention, the crystalline glass plate is softened and deformed only by its own weight without being pressed and comes into contact with the mold material, so that an excellent surface property without unevenness is obtained. Since the yield is significantly improved, the cost can be significantly reduced.
[0023]
Hereinafter, a transparent glass plate for a stove according to the present invention will be described in detail based on examples of a dome-shaped bent plate of crystallized glass.

First, a flat crystalline glass plate 20 having the same composition as that of the crystalline glass plate 10 of Example 1, having a short side of 450 mm, a long side of 650 mm, and a thickness of 4.0 mm was prepared.
[0031]
Further, a mold member 21 made of unglazed chamotte having a curved convex portion formed as a mold surface 21a was prepared. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the mold 21 was placed in a heating furnace with the crystalline glass plate 20 placed on the mold surface.
[0032]
Next, the inside of the heating furnace was heated from room temperature to about 650 ° C. at a rate of 300 ° C./hour, and then heated to 850 ° C. at a rate of 10 ° C./hour, thereby obtaining a crystalline glass plate as shown in FIG. While deforming the shape of No. 10 so as to substantially match the mold surface 21a, a large number of β-quartz solid solution crystals are precipitated in the glass, and as a result, the radius of curvature in the short side direction is 230 mm, the radius of curvature in the long side direction is 2460 mm, A crystallized glass plate 22 having a curved shape (dome-shaped curved surface) having a thickness of 4.0 mm was obtained.
[0033]
The crystallized glass plate 22 thus obtained was removed from the mold 21 and its appearance was observed. As a result, the convex-side surface of the dome-shaped curved surface of the crystallized glass plate 22 was a free surface that did not come into contact with the surface of the mold material, and no trace of pits or the like was observed on the concave-side surface. Further, the radius of curvature in the short side direction and the long side direction was measured by a slit gauge and found to have the desired dimensions described above.
[0034]
(Comparative Example 1) First, a flat crystalline glass plate having the same composition as the crystalline glass plate 10 of Example 1 and having dimensions of 350 mm on a short side, 650 mm on a long side, and 4.0 mm in thickness. Was prepared. In addition, a mold material was prepared in which a curved concave portion having a curvature radius in the short side direction of less than 150 mm (a curvature radius in the short side direction was 120 mm and a curvature radius in the long side direction was 2000 mm) was formed.
[0035]
Next, after placing the above-mentioned crystalline glass plate on the mold surface of the mold material, this was placed in a heating furnace, and heat-treated under the same conditions as in Example 1 to obtain a bent plate of crystallized glass.
[0036]
When the crystallized glass plate thus obtained was removed from the mold and its appearance was observed, the crystallized glass plate of Comparative Example 1 had a wavy surface, and the radius of curvature in the short side direction was the desired value. It was not 120 mm but twisted. However, the crystallized glass had a large number of β-quartz solid solution crystals precipitated in the glass.
[0037]
