発明によれば、彎曲した板ガラス素材に、その一面側から切断線および複数の切り込み線を入れる第1の工程を終了した後に、各切り込み線に対応する部分で板ガラス素材を他面側から加熱するので、各切り込み線に熱衝撃が直接かかることはなく、切断線の周囲に欠けが生じることはない。 According to the present invention, after the first step of putting a cutting line and a plurality of cutting lines from the one surface side into the bent sheet glass material, the sheet glass material is heated from the other surface side at a portion corresponding to each cutting line. Therefore, the thermal shock is not directly applied to each cutting line, and there is no chipping around the cutting line.

また板ガラス素材を支持台上に位置決め載置するのに応じて加熱ノズルによる加熱を直ちに始することが可能となり、加工時間の短縮を図ることができる。 Further, it is possible to immediately start to open the heating by the heating nozzle according to position placing the glass sheet material on the support base, it is possible to shorten the machining time.

しかも板ガラス素材が加熱によって切断線に沿って切断されたときに、破片が熱風口側に落下しても三角形状のガイド板によって破片が下方に滑り落ちることになり、熱風口が破片で塞がれてしまうことを防止することができる。 Moreover, when the plate glass material is cut along the cutting line by heating, even if the fragments fall to the hot air outlet side, the broken pieces will slide down by the triangular guide plate, and the hot air outlet will be blocked by the fragments.

また請求項の発明によれば、加熱によっても破片がひっかかったままとなっていたとしても、破片強制排除機構によって押圧力を作用せしめることにより、確実に破片を取り除くことができる。 According to the invention of claim 5, as both had been left debris caught by heating, by exerting a pressing force by debris preemption mechanism, it is possible to reliably remove the debris.

さらに請求項の発明によれば、切り込み線に沿って加熱される支持台上の板ガラス素材にバイブレータによって振動を加えることで、不良品が生じることをより確実に防止することができる。すなわち切り込み線が比較的長い距離にわたるため、内部応力による切断の深さにばらつきが生じ易く、加熱による強制歪みを発生させたときに切断の浸透が遅い部分では充分な自己切断が不足しているので、所謂ハマカケ(ハマグリの模様状に角が欠けた状態)が生じて不良品となってしまう可能性があるが、振動を加えることによって内部応力による自己の切断浸透が促進されて必要な自己切断浸透が得られ、上記ハマカケが生じることを防止して、不良品の発生をより確実に防止することができる。 Furthermore, according to invention of Claim 6 , it can prevent more reliably that a defective article arises by applying a vibration with the vibrator to the plate glass raw material on the support stand heated along a cutting line. In other words, since the cutting line extends over a relatively long distance, the cutting depth due to internal stress tends to vary, and sufficient self-cutting is insufficient in the portion where the penetration of cutting is slow when forced strain is generated by heating. Therefore, there is a possibility that so-called cracks (a state in which the corners of the clam pattern are missing) may occur, resulting in a defective product, but by applying vibration, self-cutting penetration due to internal stress is promoted and necessary self Cutting penetration can be obtained and the occurrence of the above-mentioned cracks can be prevented, and the occurrence of defective products can be more reliably prevented.

The upper ends of the side plates 51 are formed to be inclined plate portions 51a that are inclined corresponding to the upper shape of the second side plates 52.

而して加熱ノズル50の上端部には、前記第1側板51…の上部の傾斜板部51a…と第2側板52…の上部52a…とで、前記切り込み線31…と直交する方向に長い矩形状である熱風口53が形成されることになり、その熱風口53からは上方に向けて熱風が吹き出される。また加熱ノズル50の上端部には、前記熱風口53の側縁から上方に延びて相互に対向する一対のガイド板部54,54が、第1側板51…における傾斜板部51a…の上端から上方に突出するようにして設けられ、それらのガイド板部54…は上方に向かうにつれて幅を狭める三角形状に形成される。   Thus, the upper end portion of the heating nozzle 50 is long in the direction perpendicular to the cut line 31 between the upper inclined plate portion 51a of the first side plate 51 and the upper portion 52a of the second side plate 52. A rectangular hot air vent 53 is formed, and hot air is blown upward from the hot air vent 53. A pair of guide plate portions 54, 54 extending upward from the side edge of the hot air vent 53 and facing each other are provided at the upper end portion of the heating nozzle 50 from the upper end of the inclined plate portion 51 a.

It is heated by the heating nozzles 50 ... from the convex side which is a surface. At this time, the cracks generated from the respective cut lines 31... By heating will extend over the entire circumference of the cutting line 30, and as shown by the chain line in FIG. 6 and FIG. It peels from the plate glass raw material 15 as the broken piece 15a ..., and it becomes possible to obtain the plate glass 16 (refer FIG. 2) of a predetermined shape by it.

ところで、仮置き領域S3および熱外し領域S4間、ならびに熱外し領域S4および受け台13間の前記板ガラス素材15ならびに切断後の板ガラス15の移動は、第2搬送手段56によってなされるものであり、この第2搬送手段56は、仮置き領域S3から搬出台13までの間で基台12よりも上方に位置するレール57と、該レール57上を往復移動可能な移動台車58と、上下に延びる軸線を有して移動台車58の長手方向両端に設けられるシリンダ59,59と、両シリンダ59…から下方に突出するロッド60,60の先端にそれぞれ弾性的に浮動支持される吸着機構61,61とを備える。   By the way, the movement of the plate glass material 15 and the cut plate glass 15 between the temporary placement region S3 and the heat removal region S4 and between the heat removal region S4 and the cradle 13 is performed by the second conveying means 56. The second transport means 56 extends vertically from a rail 57 positioned above the base 12 between the temporary placement region S3 to the carry-out base 13, a movable carriage 58 that can reciprocate on the rail 57, and the rail 57.

The movable carriage 58 movable along the rail 57 has a length corresponding to the length between the temporary placement area S3 and the heat removal area S4 and between the heat removal area S4 and the carry-out table 13. . Further, the suction mechanism 61 has a suction cup 64 capable of sucking the plate glass material 15 and the central portion on the concave surface side of the cut glass sheet 16 at the lowermost end, and is located between the suction cup 64 and the plate glass material 15 and the plate glass 16. Are connected to the suction mechanism 61.

而して第2搬送手段56は、両吸着機構61…の一方61を仮置き領域S3に対応させるとともに他方の吸着機構61を熱外し領域S4に対応させた位置と、両吸着機構61…の一方61を熱外し領域S4に対応させるとともに他方の吸着機構61を搬出台13に対応させた位置との間で往復移動可能であり、シリンダ59…の伸縮作動および吸着機構61…の吸盤64…による吸着および吸着解除により仮置き領域S3からの板ガラス素材15が熱外し領域S4の支持台45上に載置される工程と、熱外し領域S4で切断させれて残った板ガラス16を熱外し領域S4から搬出台13上に載置する工程とが同時に実行されることになる。   Thus, the second conveying means 56 has a position where one of the two suction mechanisms 61... Corresponds to the temporary placement region S3 and the other suction mechanism 61 corresponds to the heat removal region S4, and the two suction mechanisms 61. The one 61 is made to correspond to the heat removal area S4 and the other suction mechanism 61 can be reciprocated between the position corresponding to the carry-out base 13, and the expansion and contraction operation of the cylinders 59 and the suction cups 64 of the suction mechanism 61. The step of placing the plate glass material 15 from the temporary placement region S3 on the support base 45 in the heat removal region S4 by the suction and suction release by the step, and the heat removal region of the plate glass 16 that has been cut off in the heat removal region S4 The process of mounting on the carry-out stand 13 from S4 is performed simultaneously.

さらに両吸着機構61…の一方61を仮置き領域S3に対応させたときに、熱外し領域S4に対応する位置にあるシリンダ59が備えるロッド60の下端には、熱外し領域S4での加熱によっても破片15a…がひっかかったままとなっていたときに、切断線30よりも外方で前記板ガラス素材15に上方から押圧力を及ぼす破片強制排除機構66が付設される。   Further, when one of the adsorption mechanisms 61 is made to correspond to the temporary placement region S3, the lower end of the rod 60 provided in the cylinder 59 at the position corresponding to the heat removal region S4 is heated by the heat removal region S4. However, when the broken pieces 15a are still caught, a broken piece forcibly removing mechanism 66 that applies a pressing force to the sheet glass material 15 from above is provided outside the cutting line 30.

この破片強制排除機構66は、板ガラス素材15の周方向4箇所に対応して上下に延びる軸線を有して前記ロッド60の下端に支持されるシリンダ67…と、該シリンダ67…から下方に突出するロッド68…の先端に設けられる押圧板69…とを有するものであり、シリンダ67…の伸長作動によって、熱外し領域S4の支持台45上に在る板ガラス素材15の切断線30よりも外方に押圧板69…から押圧力が作用することにより、加熱ノズル50…による加熱後に脱落せず残っていた破片15a…が板ガラス16から分離することになる。   The fragment forcibly removing mechanism 66 has an axis extending vertically corresponding to four circumferential directions of the plate glass material 15 and is supported by the lower end of the rod 60, and protrudes downward from the cylinder 67. And the pressing plate 69 provided at the tip of the rod 68 to be moved, and by the extension operation of the cylinder 67, the outer side of the cutting line 30 of the plate glass material 15 on the support base 45 in the heat removal region S4. When a pressing force is applied to the pressing plate 69..., Fragments 15 a... Remaining without being dropped after heating by the heating nozzles 50 are separated from the plate glass 16.

再び図2において、前記受け台13上にもたらされた板ガラス16は、切断後の周縁部を砥石等で磨くコバ磨り工程を経てスパッタ装置70に送られ、このスパッタ装置70で車両用ミラーが得られることになる。   In FIG. 2 again, the plate glass 16 brought on the cradle 13 is sent to the sputtering apparatus 70 through a cutting process of polishing the peripheral edge after cutting with a grindstone or the like. Will be obtained.

なお板ガラス素材15の表面に傷がつくことを防止するために、位置決め領域S1、形状切り領域S2および仮置き領域S3では、板ガラス素材15を載置するための座面、すなわち位置決め領域S1での位置決め支持台17の上面、形状切り領域S2での載置台24の載置面23、ならびに仮置き領域S3での仮置き台43の上面に付着した塵埃を吸引除去するための吸引器(図示せず)を前記位置決め支持台17、載置台24および前記仮置き台43上に出没させることが望ましい。   In order to prevent the surface of the plate glass material 15 from being damaged, in the positioning region S1, the shape cutting region S2, and the temporary placement region S3, a seating surface for placing the plate glass material 15, that is, the positioning region S1. A suction device (not shown) for sucking and removing dust adhering to the upper surface of the positioning support table 17, the mounting surface 23 of the mounting table 24 in the shape cutting region S2, and the upper surface of the temporary mounting table 43 in the temporary placement region S3. It is desirable to cause the first and second positions) to appear on the positioning support table 17, the mounting table 24 and the temporary mounting table 43.

次にこの第1実施例の作用について説明すると、無端状に連なる所定形状の切断線30ならびに該切断線30の周方向複数箇所から外方に延びる切り込み線31…を予め彎曲成形した板ガラス素材15にその一面である凹面側から入れる第1の工程を形状切り領域S2で実行した後の熱外し領域S4で、複数の前記切り込み線31…に対応する部分で板ガラス素材15を加熱する第2の工程を実行することで板ガラスを切断線30に沿って切断するのであるが、熱外し領域S4で板ガラス素材15を加熱する際に、切り込み線31…に対応する部分で板ガラス素材15をその他面である凸面側から加熱ノズル50…で加熱するので、各切り込み線31…に熱衝撃が直接かかることはなく、切断線30の周囲に欠けが生じることはない。また板ガラス素材15を加熱するための加熱ノズル50…を板ガラス素材15の表面に近づけて加熱時間を短縮することができる。   Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. A sheet glass material 15 obtained by curving in advance a cutting line 30 having a predetermined shape that extends endlessly and cutting lines 31 that extend outward from a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the cutting line 30. In the heat removal region S4 after executing the first step in the shape cutting region S2 on the concave surface side which is the one surface, the second glass plate material 15 is heated at a portion corresponding to the plurality of the cut lines 31. Although the plate glass is cut along the cutting line 30 by executing the process, when the plate glass material 15 is heated in the heat removal region S4, the plate glass material 15 is cut at the portion corresponding to the cutting line 31. Since the heating nozzles 50 are heated from a certain convex surface side, no thermal shock is directly applied to the cut lines 31, and no chipping occurs around the cutting lines 30. Further, the heating nozzle 50 for heating the plate glass material 15 can be brought close to the surface of the plate glass material 15 to shorten the heating time.

しかも熱外し領域S4で第2の工程を実行するに当たり、板ガラス素材15の中央部は、その凹面を上方にして支持台45上に位置決め載置され、支持台45の周囲に固定配置される複数の加熱ノズル50…によって板ガラス素材15に下方から熱風が当てられるので、板ガラス素材15を支持台45上に位置決め載置したときには加熱ノズル50…による加熱を直ちに開始することが可能となるとともに、複数の加熱ノズル50…を板ガラス素材15の表面に充分に近接させた状態とすることができ、板ガラス素材15の第1搬送手段34による搬入・搬出時に加熱ノズル50…を退避移動させることが不要となるので加工時間の短縮を図ることができる。   In addition, when the second step is performed in the heat removal region S4, the central portion of the sheet glass material 15 is positioned and placed on the support base 45 with the concave surface thereof facing upward, and is fixedly arranged around the support base 45. Since the hot air is applied to the glass sheet material 15 from below by the heating nozzles 50, the heating by the heating nozzles 50 can be started immediately when the glass sheet material 15 is positioned on the support 45. The heating nozzles 50 are sufficiently close to the surface of the plate glass material 15, and it is unnecessary to retreat the heating nozzles 50 when the plate glass material 15 is carried in and out by the first conveying means 34. Therefore, processing time can be shortened.

また加熱ノズル50の上端部には、熱風を吹き出すための熱風口53が形成されるとともに、該熱風口53の側縁から上方に延びて相互に対向する一対のガイド板部54,54が設けられ、それらのガイド板部54…は上方に向かうにつれて幅を狭める三角形状に形成されるので、板ガラス素材15が加熱によって切断線30に沿って切断されたときに、破片15aが熱風口53側に落下しても三角形状のガイド板54…によって破片15aが下方に滑り落ちることになり、熱風口53が破片15aで塞がれてしまうことを防止することができる。   Further, a hot air port 53 for blowing hot air is formed at the upper end of the heating nozzle 50, and a pair of guide plate portions 54, 54 extending upward from the side edge of the hot air port 53 and facing each other are provided. Since the guide plate portions 54 are formed in a triangular shape whose width is narrowed toward the upper side, when the plate glass material 15 is cut along the cutting line 30 by heating, the fragments 15a are on the hot air outlet 53 side. Even if it falls, the fragments 15a will slide down by the triangular guide plates 54, and the hot air vent 53 can be prevented from being blocked by the fragments 15a.

さらに加熱による切断が終了した後の板ガラス16を保持して搬出する第2搬送手段56に、前記切断線30よりも外方で板ガラス素材15に上方から押圧力を及ぼす破片強制排除機構66が付設されるので、加熱によっても破片15aがひっかかったままとなっていたとしても、破片強制排除機構66によって押圧力を作用せしめることにより、確実に破片15aを取り除くことができる。   Further, the second conveying means 56 for holding and carrying out the plate glass 16 after the cutting by heating is attached with a fragment forcible exclusion mechanism 66 that exerts a pressing force on the plate glass material 15 from above outside the cutting line 30. Therefore, even if the debris 15a remains caught by heating, the debris 15a can be reliably removed by applying a pressing force by the debris forced exclusion mechanism 66.

図9は本発明の第2実施例を示すものであり、上記第1実施例に対応する部分には同一の参照符号を付して図示するのみで詳細な説明は省略する。   FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The parts corresponding to the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description is omitted.

支持壁44に固定される支持筒48の先端部に固着されるようにして熱外し領域S4に配置される支持台45には、バイブレータ74が付設されるものであり、この第2実施例では、前記支持筒48上にバイブレータ74が取付けられる。   A vibrator 74 is attached to the support base 45 disposed in the heat removal region S4 so as to be fixed to the tip of the support cylinder 48 fixed to the support wall 44. In this second embodiment, the vibrator 74 is attached. A vibrator 74 is mounted on the support cylinder 48.

この第2実施例によれば、切り込み線31に沿って加熱される支持台45上の板ガラス素材15にバイブレータ74によって振動を加えることで、不良品が生じることをより確実に防止することができる。すなわち切り込み線31が比較的長い距離にわたるため、内部応力による切断の深さにばらつきが生じ易く、加熱による強制歪みを発生させたときに切断の浸透が遅い部分では充分な自己切断が不足しているので、所謂ハマカケ(ハマグリの模様状に角が欠けた状態)が生じて不良品となってしまう可能性があるが、バイブレータ74による振動を加えることによって内部応力による自己の切断浸透が促進されて必要な自己切断浸透が得られ、上記ハマカケが生じることを防止して、不良品の発生をより確実に防止することができる。   According to this 2nd Example, it can prevent more reliably that a defective product arises by applying the vibration to the plate glass raw material 15 on the support stand 45 heated along the cut line 31 with the vibrator 74. FIG. . In other words, since the cutting line 31 extends over a relatively long distance, the cutting depth due to internal stress tends to vary, and sufficient self-cutting is insufficient at the portion where the penetration of cutting is slow when forced strain is generated by heating. Therefore, there is a possibility that so-called cracks (a state in which corners are missing in the shape of the clam pattern) may occur, resulting in a defective product. Thus, the necessary self-cutting penetration can be obtained, and the occurrence of the above-mentioned cracks can be prevented, and the occurrence of defective products can be more reliably prevented.
