However, according to, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-188430, although bubbles are highly removed by such a method, there is a drawback that a molten glass becomes inhomogeneous in the process of removing bubbles to obtain a product with reduced homogeneity. Therefore, for this reason, the molten glass is defoamed under reduced pressure, the defoamed molten glass is stirred, and the homogenized molten glass is guided to a molding step to be molded into a desired shape.

維持し、その面上に破泡用の空間Sが形成される。In the glass manufacturing apparatus constructed as described above, the flow of the molten glass to the ascending pipe 2, the decompression degassing tank 3 and the descending pipe 4 is based on the principle of Sanphon, and therefore, in the storage tank 5. The liquid surface of the molten glass is lower than the liquid surface of the molten glass in the storage tank 1, and the depressurized degassing tank 3 is in a depressurized state by the pressure difference of the head. At this time, the height of the vacuum degassing tank 3 is set according to the preset flow rate of the molten glass (= mainly corresponding to the preset production amount of the glass product), the fining conditions, etc. Maintaining a predetermined height, a space S for breaking bubbles is formed on the surface.

る。The molten glass containing bubbles generated during melting is guided to the lower end of the rising pipe 3 and rises in the rising pipe 2,
It is introduced into the vacuum degassing tank 3. For example, the inside of the vacuum degassing tank 3 is 1
Since it is set to a reduced pressure state of about / 20 to 1/3 atmospheric pressure, the molten glass that has been raised in the rising pipe 2 and guided to the reduced pressure defoaming tank 3 is under reduced pressure in the reduced pressure defoaming tank 3. Defoaming is carried out, and the bubbles contained in the molten glass are removed here.

Next, the clarified molten glass descends from the vacuum degassing tank 3 in this state through the downcomer pipe 4 and is guided to the storage tank 5, where it is homogenized by a normal stirring operation. In this case, the molten glass degassed in the vacuum degassing tank 3 contains no bubbles, the dissolved gas temperature is lowered, and the molten glass is sent to the molding step in a homogenized state, Various glass products are formed into desired shapes.

た。However, in the vacuum degassing apparatus which uses the siphon principle for the vacuum degassing as described above, when the flow amount or temperature of the molten glass flowing varies, the degassing tank 3 in the vacuum degassing tank 3 is changed. The degree of decompression and the surface of the molten glass (depth of the base material) change. For this reason, it is necessary to compensate for this change each time it occurs and to return to a normal state, and it is difficult to cope with changes in plate making conditions such as the amount of flat glass products produced.

The vertical movement allowance can be determined by determining the pressure reduction treatment condition for each composition of the target glass in the basic test (Lab. Test) and selecting the length of the vertical movement allowance. In addition, the lifting device, for example, the lifting pipe, the vacuum degassing tank, and the descending pipe move up and down by the jack operation. The gap at the bottom of the tube is filled by setting a heat insulating material or a heating source according to the length.

る。The vacuum degassing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an embodiment of the vacuum degassing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing an embodiment in which a jack is attached as an example of a lifting device in the vacuum degassing apparatus of FIG. 3 in FIGS.

のヘッド圧差により所定の減圧状態に保たれる。As in the case of FIG. 3, the flow of the molten glass to the ascending pipe 2, the vacuum degassing tank 3 and the descending pipe 4 is based on the principle of Sanphon. Therefore, the liquid level of the molten glass in the storage tank 5 is Is lower than the liquid level of the molten glass in the storage tank 1. Further, since the position of the vacuum degassing tank 3 is set higher than that of the storage tank 1 and the storage tank 5 as shown in the figure, the inside of the vacuum degassing tank 3 is maintained in a predetermined reduced pressure state due to the head pressure difference.

昇降装置によって吸収し、正常状態に戻すものである。Since the degree of decompression of the decompression degassing tank 3 in this decompressed state is proportional to the height of the molten glass in the storage tank 1 and the storage tank 5 from the liquid surface, the height is conventionally about that of molten glass. It is set corresponding to a preset flow rate (this flow rate corresponds to the production amount of glass products). However, if there is a change in the temperature of the molten glass flowing, the production amount of glass products, etc., the depth of the base material in the vacuum degassing tank 3 will change, so it was necessary to compensate for this and restore the normal state each time. . In the present invention, these fluctuations are absorbed by the elevating device of the vacuum degassing tank 3 to restore the normal state.

As shown in the figure, with respect to the casing 6 of the vacuum degassing tank 3, two jacks 9 are provided on each of the left and right sides in the longitudinal direction, for a total of four jacks 9.

に戻すことができる。In the glass manufacturing apparatus as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, when the flow rate of the molten glass decreases from the steady state, the molten glass surface in the vacuum degassing tank 3 rises (that is, the depth of the substrate is deep). Nari), and along with this, the space S for breaking bubbles
Becomes relatively small. Then, the defoaming degree in the decompression defoaming tank 3 changes and the quality of the molten glass changes. Therefore, in order to avoid this, it is necessary to correct the depth of the substrate and the space S to be constant. . Therefore, at this time, when the vacuum degassing tank 3 is raised by manipulating the jack, the molten glass surface in the vacuum degassing tank 3 is relatively lowered by the action of gravity, and the space S for breaking bubbles is correspondingly lowered. Is relatively large and can be returned to the normal state.
