This forming technique was first developed by the United States, New York, and Corning, Inc., and the technology involves the transport of molten glass into a forming tank, commonly referred to as a "isolation tube" < a "fusion isolation tube". Two substantially vertical walls (called 堰), allowing the molten glass to overflow the top surface of the two rafts' and as a result of two separate streams, along the side surface of the isolation tube 〃IL, the knives are separated from each other. The bottom merges into a single glass ribbon. The single-glass ribbon is then pulled down to the pre-twist width and thickness at a predetermined temperature, viscosity and speed and then cooled to an elastic state, cut and finally processed to produce a plurality of sheets of glass. Since the two major surfaces of the glass ribbon do not contact the solid surface of the isolation tube and only contact the closed environment, the glass ribbon will exhibit the pure surface quality expected of the LCD glass substrate. (iv) The thermal management of glass and insulation tubes is the key to successful and reliable glass forming processes and the quality of the products that can be accessed. For this reason, the isolation pipe is usually placed in a furnace (sometimes referred to as a "electric cooker") throughout the production run, and the temperature field in the furnace is continuously measured and controlled. The isolation pipe is usually made of a large piece of refractory material, for example, containing stones, oxygen oxidized magnesium, discite ore, etc. The size and geometry of the isolation tube is critical to a successful and reliable manufacturing process. The isolation tube itself is a very expensive part of the glass sheet manufacturing system and therefore maintains structural and geometric integrity and extends the life of the isolation tube. A large number of literatures have investigated the thermal stresses in the isolation tubes. The isolation tubes generally contain large pieces of ceramic materials. The thermal stress is generated by the temperature difference of 201210957, which is contacted by different areas of the isolation tube body. In particular, the present invention provides a means of managing thermal stress in the isolation tube during initial life of the isolation tube including initial startup, normal operation, temporary shutdown process, process shutdown, emergency handling, problem solving, and the like. Figure 3 shows the relationship between the maximum fused isolation tube stress and the absolute temperature difference in the different fusion isolation tubes 301, 03, 3, 05, 3 07, 311 313 313. The size of the fusion isolation tube is 3〇1 < 3〇3 < 305 < 307 < 309 < 310 < 311 < 313. Measure the temperature difference between the top surface and the root of the fusion isolation tube. The dot on the temperature difference axis in Fig. 3 refers to the temperature difference required to form the damage stress condition at 1 J. From Figure 3, it can be seen that the maximum fused isolation tube stress increases with the temperature difference and the size of the fusion isolation tube. It is also possible to send a cheek, r (see the surface between the dome and the root). The slight increase in temperature will cause the maximum application of the knife to increase sharply. Therefore, the event in the stress 对 is not a feasible solution for the large fusion isolation tube, and the essay is not a viable solution, and the dispute is not too feasible for you to start or fine-tune the pull-down process. And others are outside the plan. In the aspect of the invention, the more intense refractory ceramic body catalogue® sequence stress concentration event.

In an embodiment, in the fusion pull-down process, the fusion isolation tube is controlled in a controlled manner to glass manufacturing. After the temperature, important stress concentration events will occur. The far-end stress concentration events include, but are not limited to, power redistribution, glass composition conversion, insulation change, and installation or removal of temporary equipment required to manufacture glass sheets. Typical examples of stress concentration events that may occur after the glass manufacturing temperature include cutting off the auxiliary heater power supply for heating the fusion isolation tube, self-fusion isolation tube or electric cooker with integrated fusion isolation tube to remove the auxiliary heater' and the downflow tube Coupling to the fused isolation tube. Non-scheduled stress concentration events may occur at any time during the fusion pull-down process. Non-scheduled stress concentration event instance packages Sudden failure of the auxiliary heater, total failure of the power supplied to the fusion pull-down machine, and material defects or stress concentration in the fusion isolation tube. After the scheduled or non-scheduled stress concentration event, the heated fusion isolation tube is maintained at a temperature for a period of time. It helps to reduce the stress level in the heating fusion isolation tube to a safe level. The temperature maintenance period controls the thermal environment of the refractory ceramic body to maintain a stable (or constant) temperature distribution within the refractory Tauman body. The thermal environment constitutes all configurations that affect the temperature distribution in the fused isolation tube 'eg heating equipment, cooling equipment, insulation and gas chambers. The thermal environment 14 201210957 controls, for example, by monitoring the temperature of one or more points on the refractory ceramic body and Correspondingly adjust the heat input to the refractory ceramic body to keep the monitoring temperature substantially no. During the temperature maintenance period, the stress level in the refractory Tauman body will decrease. The stress level decrease can indicate the average stress or maximum for the Fire Taman body. The stress is reduced. During the temperature maintenance period, due to the viscoelasticity of the refractory ceramic body, The force will be released from the refractory ceramic body, which will be further detailed later. During the temperature maintenance period, the maximum stress in the m body can be lower than the stress threshold, resulting in structural damage of the refractory Tauman body. The length of the temperature retention period depends on How much stress is released from the refractory (four) body, and the temperature retention period is usually as long as several hours. It can be modeled a priori, and the multi-stress concentration event causes the expected stress in the main body of the refractory ceramics to rise to the south, and how long the temperature maintenance period should be obtained. The refractory body releases an estimate of sufficient stress. In order to make the strategy of "staying/span-stage time" for the fusion trapped captives, the refractory ceramic material is preferably creep and stress released at high temperatures. Creeping into viscoelastic η material #料loaded with the load applied to the material 1 force release ^ is expressed as not changing the strain in the 峨 table, Γ represents the temperature, ρ represents the material properties, and represents the fa1 _ stress released with time For the viscoelastic material, the function of equation (1) is always less than zero. . .^ 仕 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 illustrates the principles of the invention. In one example, the fusion pull-down process % U slave, model melting 15 201210957 The stress in the isolation tube P5 stress is made from vermiculite. The electric stove with the fusion S or the built-in fusion isolation tube is equipped with an auxiliary heater (that is, the auxiliary heater is arranged next to the fusion isolation tube s to transfer heat to the fusion isolation officer). The model result is displayed in the flute 4 4 picture, and explained as follows. The dashed line, the temperature difference between the dome surface and the root of the isolation tube, and the solid line 403 represent the stress level in the fusion isolation tube. — Apply a typical heating schedule 405 to the fusion isolation tube. At the end of the heating schedule 405, the fusion isolation tube stress is about 245 Torr per square foot and the absolute temperature difference between the dome surface and the root is about 49. . Then, yes. . Concentrated events 4 〇 7 days, self-confining isolation tube or electric stove removed auxiliary training Γ ° stress concentration event at the end of 4G7, the fusion isolation tube stress level is raised to about 2678 broken per square time (compared to the previous stress Level, stress level = about 993%), and the absolute temperature difference between the top surface and the root is about (the temperature difference growth rate is about isolation / / hour during the stress concentration event 4 〇 7). Then 'maintain the temperature Period 409 is applied to Fusion J: Departure. After the temperature retention period is completed, the stress of the fusion isolation tube is reduced to "1888 lbs. per square inch of spoon" (the stress is reduced by about 29/ compared to the first stress level), and the absolute temperature difference is maintained due to the temperature.

Equation (4) is numerically solved to model the stress in the fusion isolation tube. In step 45, from the modeled stress in the baseline fusion isolation tube and the static fatigue data of the baseline fusion isolation tube material, the damage condition of the fusion isolation f that is identical or similar to the baseline fusion isolation tube is derived. Static fatigue data can be collected a priori by studying the conditions under which the baseline fusion barrier material will rupture. This may involve subjecting the material to various tensile stresses at different temperatures to determine which tensile stress and temperature combination will cause the material to break. The modeled stress provides a baseline fusion of the isolated tube at a constant temperature. The damage condition is determined to be the same or similar to the baseline fusion isolation tube. How much stress can be tolerated and how long it will not be damaged at a specific temperature or temperature range. In step 47 t, a target fusion isolation tube identical or identical to the baseline fusion isolation tube is constructed to design and define a new event schedule that does not violate the damage condition. In step 49, after heating the target fusion isolation tube to the glass manufacturing temperature, the new event schedule should be merged with the isolation tube. The new event schedule includes the above- or more stress concentration events and/or more temperature retention periods. Figure 4 is a new event schedule - an example. The _ condition is used to determine the temperature retention period should be more & It is important to release sufficient stress between each stress # event or continuous stress concentration event, so that the new event schedule is applied to the cumulative stress position in the fusion isolation tube caused by the second fusion isolation tube. The damage is still less than the damage specified by the damage condition: value. As described above, the method of manufacturing a glass sheet using a fusion pull-down process involves 18 201210957 transporting molten glass to a heated fusion isolation tube, flowing the molten glass through the top surface of the heated fusion isolation tube, and causing the molten glass to be separated into two separate strings. The flow pattern flows down the sides of the fused isolation tube, combining the two separate streams of molten glass into a single stream of molten glass, and drawing a single stream of molten glass into a sheet of glass. The raw material is melted in the initial stage to form molten glass while heating the fused isolation tube to the glass manufacturing temperature. The glass is manufactured at a temperature of several hundred degrees of glass (four). Heating the Fusion Isolation Tube After the glass manufacturing temperature, some events are performed in the fusion pull-down system, and some events can be seen as stress concentration events in the fusion isolation tube. As described above, the temperature is maintained during the stress concentration event or between every two consecutive stress concentration events to control the stress level in the heated fusion isolation tube. Next, (iv) the molten glass is conveyed to the heated fuser tube' and the glass sheets are formed.
