However, in the method of strengthening plate glass by blowing air on it, if air is blown uniformly over the entire surface of the plate glass, it is difficult for the air blown to the central area of the plate glass to leave the blown area compared to the surrounding area of the plate glass, so it is heated. There was a tendency for the air that had exchanged heat with the sheet glass to remain in the central region of the sheet glass for a longer period of time, and the degree of reinforcement in the central region of the sheet glass was lower than that in the periphery. Furthermore, in order to compensate for this drawback, if the air pressure in the central area of the glass plate is made higher than in the peripheral area, the glass plate would be distorted or deformed.

In the method of strengthening by mixing water mist and air in advance and spraying it on heated plate glass, the particle size of the water mist increases during the process of mixing the water mist and air (mixer), and the water becomes droplets. When it comes into contact with the glass plate, the glass plate may be damaged or the cooling capacity of the glass plate may be partially changed, making it difficult to control.

In addition, in the method of directly spraying only water mist onto heated plate glass to strengthen it, the water mist is difficult to energize, and it is difficult to control the spraying position of the water mist by partially changing the cooling capacity of the plate glass. It was difficult.

According to the present invention as described above, by blowing air over the entire surface of the plate glass using the air outlet provided close to the plate glass heated above the strain point, air is blown across the entire surface of the plate glass. The water mist ejected from one or more water mist ejection ports is attracted by the air ejection force and is blown directly onto the glass plate, which prevents the particle size of the water mist from increasing and makes effective use of the water mist. This also prevents damage to the plate glass, and since the air outlet and water mist outlet are independent,
By appropriately adjusting the installation position of the water mist outlet by taking advantage of the difference in cooling capacity between water mist and air, it is easy to make the degree of reinforcement uniform over the entire surface of the glass sheet or to change the degree of reinforcement locally. It has the effect of being.
