201223886 六、發明說明： 【主張先前申請之美國專利申請案的優先權】 本申請案係主張西元2009年11月30曰申請之美國專 利申請案號12/627，3 26的優先權。在此提及之此文件的 内容以及公開案、專利和專利文件的整個揭示係以引置 方式併入本文作為參考。 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種用於透過在刻劃線上方使用鼻組件 來刀離一移動玻璃帶以獲得個別玻璃板的方法。本發明 亦揭示一鼻設備。 【先前技術】 一種形成薄玻璃板的方法係藉由拉伸製程，其中一玻 璃帶係從熔化玻璃的儲槽被拉伸。這可藉由例如-上拉 製程(其中帶係從儲槽向上地被拉伸，例如Foucault或 urn)或下拉製程（其中帶係通常從一塑形主體向下 地被拉伸’例如溝槽或溶融）來完成。-旦形成了帶後’ 從帶切割出個別的玻璃板。 在〃、里的下拉方法中，玻璃帶係經歷從黏性狀態到 彈性狀態的變化”遺著帶經過中間的黏彈性狀態，加諸 *之應力茜要更長的時間來釋放，直至達到了當所 加諸之應力（無論是熱應力或機械應力）在實際的時間量 3 201223886 内無法釋放且凍結到帶内時的程度。此凍結的應力會顯 著地衝擊從帶切割出之玻璃板的形狀。因此，在此過渡 期間能最小化所加諸之應力是重要的。 【發明内容】 隨著玻璃板且尤其是用在顯示器類型應用之玻璃板的 尺寸要求變得更大，操控這樣大的薄玻璃部分的能力漸 漸地變得更困難。這對於下拉製程，諸如熔融製程且尤 其是在切割操作期間（其中個別玻璃板從自塑形設備下 降之移動玻璃帶分離）’特另是如此。纟切割#分離製程 中’於下降期間由刻劃與分離在帶中造成之震動或其他 引發的運動會向上傳播到帶之黏彈性區域内且凍結到帶 内而成為不希望的殘餘應力或形狀。為了避免這樣的缺 陷，可使用一鼻組件來最小化玻璃之彈性區域中帶中的 移動而使其免於傳播到黏彈性區域内。 在實施例中，本發明揭示一種從一移動玻璃帶分離 -玻璃板之方法’包含以下步驟：形成一移動玻璃帶， 該移動玻璃帶具有第一與第 分與一彈性部分。玻璃係因 從塑形主體向下拉引之拉引 垂直的方向。該帶是一持續 供應炼化玻璃到塑形主體， 帶。 二主要側面且包含一黏性部 重力以及接合該帶且將該帶 滾輪的效應而移動於實質上 移動的玻璃帶，只要持續地 則可從塑形主體拉伸一破璃 201223886 該發明更包含以下步驟：以-鐵石占接觸構件接觸移動 玻璃帶之彈性部分之第一侧面，該鐵石占接觸構件係移動 於等於該移動玻璃帶之方向和速度的方向和速度。春兮 移動玻璃帶從塑形主體下降時，此種該鐵砧接^構二= 動於實質上等於該垂直移動玻璃帶之方向和速度的方向 和速度的運動係容許在橫越玻璃帶之寬度的橫越方向上 形成一刻劃線。 根據本發明，複數個鼻接觸構件係以和該移動玻璃帶 之第二側面呈相對關係且位在鐵砧接觸構件的上游的方 式來定位，並且該玻璃帶之第二側面係相對於鐵砧構件 而橫越該玻璃帶之寬度來刻劃，以在第二側面中形成— 刻劃線。接著，藉由產生一橫越刻劃線之伸張應力，在 該刻劃線處從該移動玻璃帶分離一個別玻璃板。可例如 藉由施加一彎曲力矩到該玻璃帶或藉由在該刻劃線下方 施加一向下力量到該帶來產生伸張應力。 在刻劃操作前，該複數個鼻接觸構件之各個鼻接觸構 件係定位成和該移動玻璃帶相隔一預定距離，以致該複 數個鼻接觸構件在刻劃期間皆沒有接觸該移動玻璃帶， 但使得在分離期間該移動玻璃帶在該鐵砧接觸構件與該 複數個鼻接觸構件之間的橫向位移受限於一預定最大 值。一鼻構件與該玻璃帶之該第二表面之間的此預定最 大距離可以例如等於或小於約5 mm。在一些情況中，一 鼻構件與該玻璃帶之該第二侧面之間的此預定最大距離 可以介於2 mm與5 mm之間。 201223886 該疋位的步驟可以包含例如從—停置位置移動 :鼻接觸構件之各個鼻接觸構件到和該移動坡 第-表面相隔一預定距離的預定位置。換句話： 觸構件是先位在一停置或停靠位置，接著向前 該移動玻璃帶之該第二表面相隔—預定距離内（例如 >盘 幺5 mm)處。 '、 該方法可更包含，在已經完成了分離步驟後，從該預 定位置移動該複數個鼻接觸構件之至少―鼻接觸構件到 停置或停靠位置。 在一些例子中，該複數個鼻接觸構件耦接到一框架， 並且該定位的步驟係包含移動該框架以同時地移動該複 數個鼻接觸構件。這可以藉由獨立地移動各個鼻接觸構 件或甚至移動群組的鼻接觸構件（其包含該複數個鼻接 觸構件之一些但並非全部的鼻接觸構件）來實現。 在一些實施例中’該複數個鼻接觸構件係被配置成直 線（線性地）而橫越該移動玻璃帶之寬度。換句話說，該 複數個鼻接觸構件之各個鼻接觸構件係定位在和其餘鼻 接觸構件相同的垂直高度處。 在其他實施例中，該複數個鼻接觸構件係被配置成垂 直交錯而橫越該移動玻璃帶之寬度，以致該複數個鼻接 觸構件之一鼻接觸構件係垂直地偏離另一鼻接觸構件。 在此組態中，一鼻接觸構件可位在一垂直高度處’而一 第二鼻接觸構件可定位在不同於第一鼻接觸構件之第二 垂直高度處。此偏離可以介於兩個非相鄰的鼻接觸構件 201223886 之間或相對；^ 4 Λ 、兩相鄰的鼻接觸構件

各個個別鼻接觸構件可在不同的時間點被致動而延伸或 縮回。所以’在個別鼻接觸構件意圖接觸該移動玻璃帶 的例子中’鼻構件移動可依需求被協調（諸如經由電腦控 制）以在不同的時間點接觸該帶或從該帶分離。 201223886 明以及本= ’可參照附圖而更輕易地瞭解本發 任何不會構成限制的方式來提供。 =其疋以 的額外系統、方法姓 圖將所有這樣 特徵與優點包括在本文t、包括在 本發明之範疇内、日匕括在

的元件符號係指稱相似的元件。 拉伸-薄材料帶以形成厚度小於約一毫米之玻璃板而 符合現代顯不器應用（諸如電視與電腦螢幕）的平坦性標 準疋需要製造過程之所有方面的小心控制。但是，必須 特別地注意玻璃帶從黏性狀態過渡到彈性狀態的期間。 即使帶上的小力量變化（諸如由拉伸區域中之氣流所產 生者）或設備運行造成的震動會在原本應該是平坦的表 面中形成擾亂。 在一示範性熔融類型下拉製程中，熔化玻璃係被供應 到一塑形主體’其中該塑形主體包含一溝渠，該溝渠開 201223886 啟在主體之上表面中的頂部處。炫化破螭係溢流出溝渠 之壁且沿著塑形主體之外表面向下流動，直到分離、流相 遇在會合表面沿其相遇的線處（即「根部」）。在此處， 分離流會接合或炼接成單一之玻璃帶（其從塑形主體^ 下流動）。沿著帶之邊緣定位的各種滾輪（或「滾筒^ >係、 用來將該帶向下拉伸或拉引且（或）施加有助於維持H 度的張力予該帶。一些滾筒可藉由馬達來旋轉，而其他 滚筒是自由滾動的。 隨著帶從塑形主體下降，熔化材料從塑形主體之底 處的黏性狀態過渡到黏彈性狀態，且最終到彈性狀離。 當帶已經冷卻到彈性狀態時，橫越該帶之寬度來刻劃該 帶，並且沿著產生之刻劃線來分離該帶以產生一分離的 玻璃板。 在帶處於流體黏性狀態的期間，加諸在熔化材料上之 應力係立即地被釋放。然而，隨著帶冷卻且黏性增加， 引發的應力不會如此快速地被釋放，直至當玻璃冷卻到 彈性狀態時達到了可保持引發的應力或形狀變化：溫度 範圍。在此期間於黏彈性區域中，且更詳細地說是在應 力與形狀會被來結到玻璃内的玻璃轉移溫度期間，加諸 在玻璃帶上的力量應該被最小化。 應力與(或)形狀改變的—來源是破璃帶的移動，其可 在將個別玻璃板從移動玻璃帶分離的製程期間發生。、在 製程中，帶係先被刻晝(通常是藉由接觸該 機械刻劃農置)。一旦形成了刻劃線後，彎曲力矩係 10 201223886 =加到帶以產生—伸張應力橫越該刻劃線，直到該帶 該刻劃線分離。這樣的「刻劃與折斷」方法係造成 了當帶分離時的能量釋放（其會引致帶的橫向移動）。換 句說實質上正父於帶之兩主要表面或側面的擺皇移 動會：生。此擺盪移動以及震動(諸如涉及破裂或斷裂之 、聲s」#震動）會沿著該帶向上傳送到該帶的黏彈性區 域内it且造成；東結的殘餘應力&成為永久的形狀變 化。吾等係提出一種限制此橫向擺盪移動的方法及一種 用於其設備。 第1圖所顯示者是-示範性熔融下拉設備1〇,其包含 塑形主體12，塑形主體12包括溝渠或溝道14以及會合 塑升v表面1 6。會合塑形表面丨6係相遇在根部1 8。溝道 14係由一來源（未示出）來供應熔化玻璃，其中該熔化玻 璃係溢流出溝道之壁且沿著塑形主體之外表面下降成為 2離流。流過會合塑形表面16之熔化玻璃的分離流係接 合在根部18且形成了玻璃帶20,玻璃帶20係垂直向下 被拉伸（如箭頭22所示）。因此，接觸塑形主體之側面 的此4为分離玻璃流變成了最終帶的内部，並且帶的外 表面是原始的且實質上不含有顆粒或其他缺陷（其可由 流過塑形表面的流動造成）。 當玻璃帶20已經達到了最終厚度與黏性時，使用分離 組件24橫越該帶之寬度將該帶分離，以提供一獨立的玻 璃板或片26 ^隨著熔化玻璃持續被供應到塑形主體且該 帶加長’從該帶分離出額外的多個玻璃板。 201223886 第2圖係㈣—部分分離組件24的側視圖，其中該分 離組件24包含刻劃鐵石占組件28、刻劃組件3〇、與鼻組 件32。特別地’鼻組件32包含複數個鼻構件^，該等 鼻構件34被安排成一橫越至少一部分之帶寬度的陣列 (如第3圖所不）’並且設以彼此獨立地移動。以下詳細 地描述了鼻組# 32。刻劃鐵站組件28位在鄰近玻璃帶 2〇之第-側面36處’而刻劃組件3〇和鼻組件32被安 排在鄰近帶20之第二側面38處。鼻組件32更定位在刻 劃鐵站組件28的上游。如在此所使用者且除非特別指 明，上游與下游係相對於移動玻璃帶的拉伸方向。因此， 對於在此垂直下拉製程(其中玻璃帶係垂直向下地被拉 引)之實例中之術語上游，刻劃鐵砧組件的上游係表示位 在刻劃鐵砧組件上方。 划劃鐵砧組件28包含一鐵砧接觸表面或構件4〇，其 實質上延伸&越帶之寬度，並且設以從—測試或停靠位 置向内朝向帶來移動且接觸該移動帶，藉此當刻劃裝置 帶之第二側面時能提供穩定的支料該移動玻璃帶並在 第二側面上形成刻劃線。由於在刻劃製程期間接觸構件 4〇會接觸帶20’並且帶會移動，鐵石占接觸構件係設以移 動於實質上等於移動玻璃帶之方向（例如方向22)和速度 的方向和速度°舉例而言，在下拉玻璃形成製程中，玻 璃帶會在向下垂直方向中下降於一速度(其取決於玻璃 供應速率、重力及拉引滾輪组件42之拉伸速度）。帶之 下降速度可改變’取決於諸如最終玻璃板之期望厚度的 12 201223886 因素。刻劃鐵砧組件之移動的速度和方向以及玻璃帶之 移動的速度和方向之間的差異會在玻璃帶中造成不希望 的變化，並且因此帶與鐵砧接觸構件之移動係被同步化 以一起移動。 舉例而言，刻劃鐵砧組件28之鐵砧接觸構件4〇可經 由支撐構件46耦接到一運輸組件44，支撐構件46可支 撐且定位該支樓表面。運輸組件4 4係設以在刻劃操作期 1向下移動預疋距離（其取決於待從帶20分離之玻璃 板26的長度）且和該移動玻璃帶2〇同步地移動，接著返 回到起始位置以準備進行下一個循環。鐵石占接觸構件 可以忍受對於高溫(在一些例子中是至少攝氏數百度)的 長時間暴露，並且較佳地由彈性材料來形成以最小化接 觸對帶造成的損壞。在—些實施例中，鐵4接觸構件 可包含-撓性杆（如第3圖所示），其經由致動器支撐件 46(諸如氣動或液壓致動器）麵接到運輸組件44，致動器 支揮件46係設以向内移動鐵站接觸構件4〇以卡合於該 帶及接著縮回以將㈣接觸構件4〇返回到遠離：帶： ^妾觸該帶的起始位置。在又其他實施例t，繞性杆可 設以具有除了線性形狀以外的形狀。舉例而言，第3圖 撓性杆係被彎曲，以共形於該移動玻璃帶2〇的弯曲 :技或者’鐵砧接觸構件可用以將該帶實質上共形於鐵 致動器構件曲度。在此實例中將假設支撑構件46為 ^ ’儘管應瞭解的是支撐件46可以是將鐵站接觸構 相對於運輸組件44剛性地固定的束（tr_)。 13 201223886 尖=，組列tr可包含例如一刻劃構件4 8 (例如碳鋼輪或 开，成一 J

各個鼻致動器54可依序地耦接到一框架58，框架58 可移動以提供該等鼻構件的粗略定位。舉例而言，框架 5 8可先被定位成使得該等鼻接觸構件粗略地鄰近該移動 玻璃帶框木58也可設以在垂直同步化中移動該等鼻接 觸構件’如同運輸組件44 一樣。在此情況中，框架Μ 係向下㈣該等鼻構# 34於和下降之帶實質上相同的 方向和速度。一旦已經執行了玻璃板26的分離後，框架 58會向上移動該等鼻構件到一停靠位置以準備進行下— 個循環。框架58可例如藉由一機械組件或經由一或多個 遠端致動之致動器（諸如氣動或液壓汽缸）來定位。 一旦鼻接觸構件定位成粗略地鄰近該移動玻璃帶2〇 後，可致動各個致動器54以移動其相關的鼻接觸構件 56到和向下移動之玻璃帶的表面相隔一預定距離處。此 15 201223886 外，可個別地調整移動玻璃帶與各個鼻接觸構件56之間 的容忍度或間隔。因此，可輕易地獲得對準、容忍度與 板運動之誤差的補償。 〜 該等鼻構件34可定位在刻劃線50的下游（相對於玻璃 帶的行進方向）或刻劃線的上游。但是，上游配置可更有 助於避免移動或小震動之向上傳播到玻璃帶之黏彈性區 域内，尤其是若該等鼻構件會接觸該帶時。關於此，該 等鼻構件54可移動於垂直方向（諸如藉由框架58)，向: 或2下（根據對分離製程的期望衝擊）。舉例而言，較低 的設置可使得有效的f曲分離控制成為可能，而較高位 置的設置(相對於刻劃線)可使得板阻尼以及因橫向之帶 :動對於塑形製程控制之負面交互作用的減少成為可 能0 A_6D圖，在-實施例中，鐵砧接觸表 刻劃裝置30與鼻構件34择〜、 ^ 觸移動玻㈣⑶6AWp 2 4成使得此三組件沒有 拉 ）在第6B圖中，當玻璃帶20 拉引滾輪組件42從塑形主 ## 40#^^ 體12向下拉伸時，鐵砧接)

64可包括多個撓性吸杯66，該等撓性吸杯66以對玻璃 板表面造成最小損壞的方式固定到板之表面且經由施加 到吸杯的真空來固持住板。操縱器64可以是例如一機械 手臂，機械手臂係連通於電腦或控制器且可根據程式化 在電腦或控制器内的指令來執行功能。一旦板26從帶 2〇分離後，操縱器60可接著依期望來設置板。例如， 操縱器60可將玻璃板堆疊在一為了將玻璃板傳送到其 他處理設備（例如邊緣研光）的容器（未示出）中。 上述之伸張操作（例如彎曲）會透過伸張應力儲存能量 在移動玻璃帶中。一旦玻璃突然地分離後，此能量則被 釋放，造成帶的橫向移動與震動。換句話說，玻璃帶2〇 可能移動於f質上垂直於帶之主要第一和第二側面％、 38的方向。簡單來說，帶2〇可能擺盪（當擺盪引發了拱 形移動，越過短距離的此拱形擺盪係被視為橫向平移）。 如上所述，右不衰減，此移動可被傳送到移動玻璃帶之 黏彈性區域中且會S著當帶從黏彈性狀態過渡到彈性狀 態時將應力加諸在帶内1變成;東結的風險。 如第6D圖所示，玻璃板％從移動玻璃帶20分離，並 且鐵砧組件28、刻劃組件3〇與鼻組件32縮回且返回到 起始位置以開始另一個循環。 在刻劃操作_，該等鼻接觸構件乂較佳地不接觸玻 璃帶2〇’而是定位成和帶之表面相隔一預定距離。對於 各個鼻接觸構件，各個鼻接觸構件與移動玻璃帶之第二 側面之間的此預；t距離可以是不同的。舉例而言，玻璃 18 201223886 帶在斷裂點（刻劃線5 0 )處可能不是平坦的，而可橫月至 夕 4刀之*^寬度來展現驚曲度。在·一些實例中，帶可 展現縱向（在帶的向下移動方向上）的彎曲度以及橫越帶 的f曲度。該等鼻接觸構件能按照需求以順應方式（其會 模仿帶之橫越帶形狀’如第7圖所示）或以非順應方式（如 第8圖所示）來定位。若玻璃帶在玻璃板分離後的橫向運 動足夠大，則玻璃帶會接觸一或多個鼻接觸構件（取決於 各者的位置）且限制橫向運動的大小。 第7圖亦繪示用於鼻組件32之個別鼻構件34的控制 機構’其包括從工作流體供應器68延伸的工作流體線路 (由線路70來表示）’線路7〇包括多個致動器閥72。該 等致動器閥72可例如由控制器（或電腦）74透過控制線路 (由控制線路76來表示）來遠端地控制。這樣能容許各個 鼻構件獨立於其他鼻構件之外被致動。這樣也提供了鼻 組件32在設計上是模組的。換句話說，前述組態能使得 個別鼻構件的添加或移除符合不同寬度的帶，這是相當 簡單的操作。個別鼻構件（以及鼻接觸構件）的數量係至 少為兩個’但可以是3、4、5、6、7、8或甚至十個或更 多個個別鼻構件，取決於移動玻璃帶的寬度、帶在橫越 其拉伸方向之方向的形狀、與期望的形狀控制或橫向移 動限制的程度。 旦玻璃板26已經從移動玻璃帶20移除且玻璃帶2〇 的橫向運動已經被遏止後，該等鼻接觸構件56可縮回且 定位在刻劃組件30的上游以準備進行後續之個別玻璃 201223886 板的分離。一旦該等鼻接觸構件已經重新定位後（諸如藉 由先將框架58向外移動而遠離帶且向上移動到刻劃裝 置上方的停靠配置）’則該等鼻構件係移動到各自鼻接觸

STATEMENT OF EMBODIMENT: [Priority of the U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/627,396, filed on November 30, 2009. The contents of this document, as well as the disclosures of the disclosures, patents and patent documents, are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method for removing a moving glass ribbon from a moving glass ribbon by using a nasal component over the score line to obtain an individual glass panel. The invention also discloses a nasal device. [Prior Art] A method of forming a thin glass sheet is by a stretching process in which a glass ribbon is stretched from a reservoir for melting glass. This can be done, for example, by a pull-up process (where the tape is stretched upward from the reservoir, such as Foucault or urn) or a pull-down process (where the tape is typically stretched downward from a shaped body), such as a groove or Melt) to complete. Once the belt is formed, the individual glass sheets are cut from the belt. In the pull-down method in 〃 and ,, the glass ribbon system undergoes a change from a viscous state to an elastic state. The residual tape passes through the intermediate viscoelastic state, and the stress applied to it is released for a longer period of time until it is reached. When the applied stress (whether thermal or mechanical) is not released within the actual amount of time 3 201223886 and is frozen into the belt, this frozen stress will significantly impact the glass sheet cut from the strip. Shape. Therefore, it is important to minimize the stress applied during this transition. [Explanation] As the size requirements of glass sheets and especially glass sheets used in display type applications become larger, manipulation is so large The ability of the thin glass portion is gradually becoming more difficult. This is especially true for pull-down processes, such as the melt process and especially during the cutting operation where the individual glass sheets are separated from the moving glass ribbon that is lowered from the self-shaping device.纟Cutting # separating process during the descent period caused by the scoring and separation of the vibration caused by the belt or other induced motion will propagate up to the viscoelastic zone of the belt In the domain and frozen into the band to become an undesired residual stress or shape. To avoid such defects, a nose assembly can be used to minimize the movement in the band in the elastic region of the glass from spreading into the viscoelastic region. In an embodiment, the present invention discloses a method of separating a glass sheet from a moving glass ribbon' comprising the steps of forming a moving glass ribbon having first and first portions and an elastic portion. Pulling from the shaping body to pull the vertical direction. The belt is a continuous supply of refined glass to the shaping body, the belt. The two main sides contain a viscous gravity and the belt is joined and the belt is rolled. The effect is to move on the substantially moving glass ribbon, as long as it is continuous to stretch a glass from the shaped body 201223886. The invention further comprises the step of: contacting the first side of the elastic portion of the moving glass ribbon with the contact member The rock occupies the contact member to move in a direction and speed equal to the direction and speed of the moving glass ribbon. The spring 兮 moving glass ribbon is from the shaping body When the anvil is configured to move in a direction and speed substantially equal to the direction and speed of the vertically moving glass ribbon, a scribe line is formed in the traverse direction across the width of the glass ribbon. According to the present invention, a plurality of nasal contact members are positioned in an opposing relationship with the second side of the moving glass ribbon and positioned upstream of the anvil contact member, and the second side of the glass ribbon is opposite to the iron The anvil member is scored across the width of the glass ribbon to form a score line in the second side. Next, the movement is performed at the score line by creating a tensile stress across the score line The glass ribbon is separated from the other glass sheet. The tensile stress can be generated, for example, by applying a bending moment to the glass ribbon or by applying a downward force under the score line to the strip. Each of the nasal contact members of the nasal contact member is positioned a predetermined distance from the moving glass ribbon such that the plurality of nasal contact members do not contact the moving glass ribbon during scoring, but are separated The moving belt contact between the glass member and the anvil of the plurality of lateral displacement between the contact member is limited to a nose by a predetermined maximum value. This predetermined maximum distance between a nose member and the second surface of the glass ribbon can be, for example, equal to or less than about 5 mm. In some cases, the predetermined maximum distance between a nose member and the second side of the glass ribbon can be between 2 mm and 5 mm. 201223886 The step of licking may include, for example, moving from a rest position: each of the nasal contact members of the nasal contact member to a predetermined position at a predetermined distance from the first surface of the moving slope. In other words: the contact member is first placed in a park or dock position, and then the second surface of the moving glass ribbon is spaced apart - within a predetermined distance (e.g. > 5 mm). The method may further comprise, after the separation step has been completed, moving at least the "nasal contact member" of the plurality of nasal contact members from the predetermined position to a park or dock position. In some examples, the plurality of nasal contact members are coupled to a frame, and the step of positioning includes moving the frame to simultaneously move the plurality of nasal contact members. This can be accomplished by independently moving the respective nasal contact members or even the nasal contact members of the moving group that include some but not all of the nasal contact members of the plurality of nasal contact members. In some embodiments, the plurality of nasal contact members are configured to traverse (linearly) across the width of the moving glass ribbon. In other words, each of the nasal contact members of the plurality of nasal contact members are positioned at the same vertical height as the remaining nasal contact members. In other embodiments, the plurality of nasal contact members are configured to be vertically staggered across the width of the moving glass ribbon such that one of the plurality of nasal contact members is vertically offset from the other nasal contact member. In this configuration, a nasal contact member can be positioned at a vertical height and a second nasal contact member can be positioned at a second vertical height different from the first nasal contact member. The deviation may be between or between two non-adjacent nasal contact members 201223886; ^ 4 Λ , two adjacent nasal contact members, in yet another embodiment, a method of interposing a glass sheet comprising the following Step: forming two moving strips having first and second main ridges: glass ^ and a resilient portion a $ 面 j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j The first side-side contact of the elastic portion - the iron station contact member is substantially equal to the moving carrier-bearing portion of the contact member being moved to and from the moving ribbon. And the direction and speed of the speed; the upstream of the anvil contact member of the stomach system and positioned to locate a plurality of nasal contact members. r The second nasal contact member 'relative to the rock occupies the contact member' to scribe the glass ribbon over the width of the glass ribbon: the component stress, at the moment of the line 1. From the traverse of the scribe line, for example, Separated by applying ι=! ribbon - glass plate. The underside of the score line can be applied to: =? to move the glass ribbon or by stretching the tensile stress at that moment. According to the mobile glass belt, the nasal contact 槿# y 歹1 at least the nasal contact members of the plurality of nasal contact members are connected to the plurality of nasal contact members during the scoring, but the moving glass is not touched band. The nasal contact member will be connected during the scoring = a plurality of nasal contact members - or a plurality of nasal contact members 1 = contact with the moving glass ribbon, still moving at a direction equal to the direction and speed of movement of the belt, and The nasal contact member is positioned to be at least a predetermined distance from the nasal contact member, and is moved by; mass =: the second surface is purchased at a rate equal to the speed of the moving glass ribbon 201223886 * Direction and speed. Therefore, a portion of the plurality of nasal joints are damped members to prevent the vibrations generated during the scoring and/or separating operation from propagating upward, and the nasal contact members positioned to be spaced apart from the moving surface by a predetermined distance. For this purpose, the limiter of the pendulum I of the belt is limited after the separating operation. In yet another embodiment, an apparatus for separating a glass sheet from a moving glass ribbon is disclosed, comprising: a shaped body for a continuous movement of the glass ribbon, the moving glass ribbon being from a point a state transition to an -elastic state; - a transport assembly that moves in a direction and speed substantially equal to the direction and speed of the moving glass ribbon; an anvil contact member that is configured to move substantially equal to the direction of the moving glass ribbon And the direction and speed of the speed; a plurality of individual nasal contact members configured to traverse the width of the glass ribbon, the respective nasal contact members of the plurality of nasal contact members being configured to be independent of the adjacent nasal contact members Externally moving toward or away from the glass belt' and wherein each nasal contact member is not connected to an adjacent nasal contact surface. The apparatus can further include a transport assembly coupled to the plurality of nasal members to move the plurality of nasal members to a direction and speed equal to the direction and speed of the moving glass ribbon. It will be appreciated that the movement of the individual nasal contact members can be performed separately such that each individual nasal contact member can be actuated to extend or retract at different points in time. Thus, in instances where individual nasal contact members are intended to contact the moving glass ribbon, the nasal component movement can be coordinated as desired (such as via computer control) to contact or separate from the belt at different points in time. 201223886 and the present disclosure can be more easily understood by referring to the accompanying drawings. Additional circuitry and method surnames are included in this document, including the scope of the present invention, and are protected by the scope of the accompanying patent application. [Embodiment] In the following detailed description, for the purpose of explanation and not limitation, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed to provide a complete understanding of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced in other embodiments than the specific details disclosed. Also, descriptions of well-known elements, methods and materials may be omitted in order to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention. Finally, as far as possible, similar component symbols refer to similar components. The stretch-thin tape is formed to form a glass sheet having a thickness of less than about one millimeter to meet the flatness criteria of modern display applications, such as televisions and computer screens, requiring careful control of all aspects of the manufacturing process. However, special attention must be paid to the period during which the glass ribbon transitions from the viscous state to the elastic state. Even small changes in force on the belt (such as those produced by the airflow in the stretch zone) or vibrations caused by equipment operation can create disturbances in surfaces that would otherwise be flat. In an exemplary melt type pull-down process, a molten glass system is supplied to a shaped body 'where the shaped body includes a trench that opens at the top of the upper surface of the body at 201223886. The smashing system breaks out of the wall of the ditch and flows down the outer surface of the shaped body until the separation and flow meet at the line along which the meeting surface meets (ie, the "root"). Here, the separation stream is joined or rectified into a single glass ribbon (which flows from the shaping body). Various rollers positioned along the edge of the belt (or "roller", used to stretch or pull the belt down and/or apply tension to maintain the H degree to the belt. Some rollers can Rotating by the motor, while the other rollers are free to roll. As the belt descends from the contoured body, the molten material transitions from the viscous state at the bottom of the shaped body to the viscoelastic state, and eventually to the elastic state. When the belt has cooled to an elastic state, the belt is scored across the width of the belt, and the belt is separated along the resulting score line to create a separate glass sheet. During the fluid viscous state, The stress applied to the molten material is immediately released. However, as the belt cools and the viscosity increases, the induced stress is not released so quickly until the glass is cooled to an elastic state and can be maintained. Stress or shape change: temperature range. During this period, in the viscoelastic region, and more specifically during the glass transition temperature where the stress and shape will be incorporated into the glass, the force applied to the glass ribbon should be This is minimized. The source of stress and/or shape change is the movement of the ribbon, which can occur during the process of separating the individual glass sheets from the moving glass ribbon. In the process, the belt is first engraved. (usually by contact with the mechanical scoring farm.) Once the score line is formed, the bending moment is 10 201223886 = added to the belt to produce - the tensile stress across the score line until the line is lined Separation. Such a "scratch and break" method results in the release of energy when the belt is separated (which causes the lateral movement of the belt). In other words, it is said that the father is moving on the two main surfaces or sides of the belt. Will: the swaying movement and the vibration (such as the sound s" #vibration involving rupture or breakage will be transmitted upward along the belt into the viscoelastic region of the belt and cause; the residual stress & Permanent shape change. We have proposed a method for limiting this lateral oscillating movement and a device for use therefor. Figure 1 shows an exemplary molten pull-down device 1 包含 comprising a shaped body 12, a shaped body 12 includes ditches or The track 14 and the plastic raised v surface 16. The conforming surface 6 is encountered at the root 18. The channel 14 is supplied by a source (not shown) to the molten glass, wherein the molten glass overflows the channel. The wall and down along the outer surface of the shaped body become a 2 flow. The separate flow of molten glass flowing through the conformal surface 16 engages the root 18 and forms a glass ribbon 20 which is vertically downwardly Stretching (as indicated by arrow 22). Thus, this 4 contacting the sides of the shaped body becomes the interior of the final strip, and the outer surface of the strip is original and substantially free of particles or other defects ( It can be caused by the flow through the contoured surface. When the glass ribbon 20 has reached the final thickness and viscosity, the strip is separated using the separation assembly 24 across the width of the strip to provide a separate glass sheet or sheet. 26 ^ As the molten glass continues to be supplied to the contoured body and the belt lengthens, an additional plurality of glass sheets are separated from the belt. 201223886 Fig. 2 is a side view of a partial separation assembly 24, wherein the separation assembly 24 includes a scored stone assembly 28, a scoring assembly 3, and a nasal assembly 32. In particular, the 'nose assembly 32' includes a plurality of nasal members^ that are arranged to traverse at least a portion of the array of strip widths (as shown in Figure 3) and are configured to move independently of one another. The nose group #32 is described in detail below. The scoring station assembly 28 is located adjacent the first side 36 of the glass ribbon 2 and the scoring assembly 3 and the nose assembly 32 are disposed adjacent the second side 38 of the strap 20. The nose assembly 32 is positioned further upstream of the scoring station assembly 28. As used herein and unless otherwise specified, the upstream and downstream lines are oriented relative to the direction of movement of the moving glass ribbon. Thus, for the term upstream in the example of a vertical pull down process in which the glass ribbon is pulled vertically downward, the upstream representation of the scored anvil assembly is positioned above the scored anvil assembly. The scoring anvil assembly 28 includes an anvil contact surface or member 4 that extends substantially & the width of the belt and is designed to move inwardly from the test or docking position and to contact the moving belt, This provides a stable support for the second side of the device strip to move the glass ribbon and form a score line on the second side. Since the contact member 4 〇 will contact the belt 20 ′ and the belt will move during the scribing process, the stone occupies the contact member to be moved to move in a direction and speed substantially equal to the direction of the moving glass ribbon (eg, direction 22) and speed. In the pull down glass forming process, the glass ribbon will descend to a velocity in the downward vertical direction (which depends on the glass supply rate, gravity, and the stretching speed of the draw roller assembly 42). The rate of decline of the belt can vary 'depending on the 12 201223886 factor such as the desired thickness of the final glass sheet. The difference between the speed and direction of the movement of the scored anvil assembly and the speed and direction of movement of the glass ribbon can cause undesirable changes in the glass ribbon, and thus the movement of the belt and the anvil contact member is synchronized Move together. For example, the anvil contact member 4A of the scoring anvil assembly 28 can be coupled to a transport assembly 44 via a support member 46 that can support and position the abutment surface. The transport assembly 44 is configured to move the pre-twisting distance (which depends on the length of the glass sheet 26 to be separated from the belt 20) during the scoring operation period 1 and move in synchronization with the moving glass ribbon 2, and then return to Start position to prepare for the next cycle. The stone-accepting contact member can withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures (in some instances at least a few hundred degrees Celsius) and is preferably formed of an elastomeric material to minimize damage to the belt caused by contact. In some embodiments, the iron 4 contact member can include a flexible rod (as shown in FIG. 3) that is coupled to the transport assembly 44 via an actuator support 46, such as a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator. The actuator support 46 is configured to move the iron station contact member 4 inwardly to engage the belt and then retract to return the (four) contact member 4 to away from: the belt: ^ the beginning of the belt position. In still other embodiments t, the winding rod may be provided to have a shape other than a linear shape. For example, the flexible rod of Figure 3 is curved to conform to the curvature of the moving glass ribbon 2: the technique or 'anvil contact member can be used to substantially conform the strap to the iron actuator member degree. The support member 46 will be assumed to be ^' in this example although it will be appreciated that the support member 46 can be a bundle (tr_) that rigidly secures the iron station contact structure relative to the transport assembly 44. 13 201223886 Tip =, the group tr can comprise, for example, a scoring member 48 (eg, a carbon steel wheel or an open, a J Sl member 48 contacting the glass ribbon 20 on the second surface 38 and the device is a household = at least a portion of the strip width Leakage cracks. Such characterizations are described herein, and are not described in detail here. However, it should be noted that the conditions of the anvil assembly of the field can be equally applied to the scoring components. In other words, in order to obtain a reticle perpendicular to the edge of the belt, the scribe member: the direction and the speed substantially the same as the direction and speed of the moving glass ribbon, except that the scribe is placed in the traverse direction (horizontal Moving across to = glass: * width) in order to score the glass ribbon; the glass crucible device includes this movement. It should also be noted that in the case where the width of the moving traverse belt includes curvature, the scribe Component:::::: When the component crosses the width of the glass ribbon, its position is changed to the relative position of the σ; Meng T. In the example of the mine, the 'scribing device can contain a laser (not shown), = no entity Contact the glass to form a score line 2 touch scribing device to avoid the vibration of the belt or Or contact occurs scribing wheel tip). However, Α7 (the secant line at the edge of 2 is straighter than the _:=: set: with the glass ribbon, and the movement and the movement of the device, the direction and speed of the device is as follows] A plurality of individual nasal members 34. Each nasal construct 54 (such as a pneumatic or liquid-nozzle-actuated nasal member moves independently of the other nasal members. Each may also include a --nasal contact member 56, the nasal contact member 56 201223886 is designed The long-term exposure to high temperature can be tolerated when the nasal contact surface is contacted by the belt and soft so as not to damage the glass ribbon. The nasal members μ can be arranged in a direction in a line 'where the direction is the movement of the glass ribbon The direction of movement (crossing at least a portion of the width of the strip) is again. However, in a consistent embodiment (4) other nasal components (and their associated nasal contact members) may not be configured as a 'line' but instead staggered (wherein according to the nose The members traverse the width of the belt and the position, some of the nasal components are vertically above or below the adjacent nasal members. For example, Figure 4 shows two nasal members 34, which are in side view ( Relative to the glass ribbon) in the vertical Offwardly offset - distance S, while Fig. 5 depicts a side view of the array of such nasal components arranged in an array of vertically staggered (non-linear) arrays. Each nasal actuator 54 can be sequentially coupled to a frame 58. The frame 58 is movable to provide a rough positioning of the nasal members. For example, the frame 58 can be positioned such that the nasal contact members are roughly adjacent to the moving glass frame 58 and can also be set to be vertically synchronized. The nasal contact members are moved as in the transport assembly 44. In this case, the frame tethers downward (four) the nose structures #34 in substantially the same direction and speed as the descending band. Once the glass has been executed After separation of the plates 26, the frame 58 will move the nose members up to a rest position for preparation for the next cycle. The frame 58 can be actuated, for example, by a mechanical assembly or via one or more distal actuators. Positioning (such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders) Once the nasal contact members are positioned roughly adjacent to the moving glass ribbon 2, the various actuators 54 can be actuated to move their associated nasal contact members 56 to and downwardly. glass The surfaces are separated by a predetermined distance. In addition to the 15 201223886, the tolerance or spacing between the moving glass ribbon and each of the nasal contact members 56 can be individually adjusted. Therefore, the alignment, tolerance and board motion errors can be easily obtained. The compensation of the nose members 34 can be positioned downstream of the score line 50 (relative to the direction of travel of the glass ribbon) or upstream of the score line. However, the upstream configuration can be more helpful in avoiding movement or small vibration upwards. Propagating into the viscoelastic region of the glass ribbon, especially if the nasal members contact the strip. In this regard, the nose members 54 can be moved in a vertical orientation (such as by the frame 58) to: or 2 ( Depending on the desired impact on the separation process. For example, a lower setting may enable efficient f-segment separation control, while a higher position setting (relative to the score line) may cause plate damping and lateral banding The reduction of the negative interaction with the shaping process control becomes possible. 0 A_6D diagram, in the embodiment, the anvil contact table scoring device 30 and the nose member 34 are selected, the ^ touch mobile glass (4) (3) 6AWp 2 4 The three components are not pulled. In Fig. 6B, when the glass ribbon 20 pulls the roller assembly 42 downwardly from the shaping main## 40#^^ body 12, the anvil is connected) The contact glass belt is 2 inches.

For example, ~ move to the second closer position to advance 5, the nasal contact member at the position 60 (as shown in Fig. 6A of 201223886) can be extended toward the moving glass ribbon 20 by two surfaces 38.

As above - face 38 and the movement traverses at least - part of the movement (4) member and the nose member are moved, substantially 4 in the direction and speed of the belt direction and speed. The individual nasal contact members have been positioned and Moving the glass ribbon _ ^ After the pre-twisting distance and positioning above the scoring device, the striking device will click and the contact 乂 48 will move across the slab "the first surface 38 and the scoring member is more wide, To form the score line 50. Pick-up of the scoring device:: contact between the scoring member 48 and the moving glass ribbon (such as in the case of a =| scratching device, or the engagement may include the scoring component positioned at k Tian Li set's early positioning (in the case of laser base scoring devices), and - Once the laser base scribing assembly has been in position, the laser generated by the laser will be traversed at least - part of the width of the broken strip. No matter what kind of brother's scoring line 5 will form in the strip On the two sides 38. As in the example of the iron: 28 and the nose members 34, when the scoring device moves the width of the strip, the scribing assembly 30 will simultaneously move substantially equal to the moving strip. The direction and speed of the direction and speed. In order to apply the tensile stress to traverse the score line and remove the individual glass fe26 from the moving glass ribbon, the manipulator 64 can be used to apply the bending moment to. This bend establishes the cross-cutting The tensile stress of the scribe line, so that the crack generated by the scribe can extend through the thickness of the strip and separate the plate. Or 'a pull down force can be applied to the strip under the scribe line. The manipulator 17 201223886 64 can include multiple flexures A suction cup 66 that is secured to the surface of the panel in a manner that minimizes damage to the surface of the glass sheet and holds the panel via vacuum applied to the suction cup. The manipulator 64 can be, for example, a robotic arm, mechanical The arm is connected to electricity The brain or controller can perform functions according to instructions programmed in the computer or controller. Once the board 26 is detached from the belt 2, the manipulator 60 can then set the board as desired. For example, the manipulator 60 can glass The plates are stacked in a container (not shown) for transporting the glass sheets to other processing equipment (e.g., edge-grinding). The above-described stretching operations (e.g., bending) store energy in the moving glass ribbon through tensile stress. Once the glass is in place Upon sudden separation, this energy is released, causing lateral movement and vibration of the belt. In other words, the glass ribbon 2〇 may move in a direction perpendicular to the major first and second sides %, 38 of the belt. In simple terms, a 2 〇 may swing (when the swing causes an arched movement, this arched sway over a short distance is considered lateral translation). As described above, the right is not attenuated, and the movement can be transmitted to the viscoelastic region of the moving glass ribbon and the stress is applied to the belt 1 when the belt transitions from the viscoelastic state to the elastic state; risk. As shown in Fig. 6D, the glass sheet % is separated from the moving glass ribbon 20, and the anvil assembly 28, the scoring assembly 3, and the nose assembly 32 are retracted and returned to the starting position to begin another cycle. In the scoring operation, the nasal contact members 乂 are preferably not in contact with the glass ribbon 2' but are positioned at a predetermined distance from the surface of the belt. For each nasal contact member, this pre-t distance between each of the nasal contact members and the second side of the moving glass ribbon can be different. For example, the glass 18 201223886 band may not be flat at the break point (the score line 50), but may be a full moon to the eve of the 4th width of the knife to show the degree of shock. In some examples, the belt may exhibit a curvature in the machine direction (in the direction of downward movement of the belt) and a curvature of the traverse belt. The nasal contact members can be positioned in a compliant manner (which would mimic the traverse shape of the belt as shown in Figure 7) or in a non-compliant manner (as shown in Figure 8). If the lateral movement of the glass ribbon after separation of the glass sheets is sufficiently large, the glass ribbon will contact one or more of the nasal contact members (depending on the position of each) and limit the amount of lateral movement. Figure 7 also illustrates the control mechanism for the individual nose members 34 of the nose assembly 32. It includes a working fluid circuit (represented by line 70) extending from the working fluid supply 68. The line 7 includes a plurality of actuators. Valve 72. The actuator valves 72 can be remotely controlled, for example, by a controller (or computer) 74 through a control line (represented by control line 76). This allows each nasal component to be actuated independently of the other nasal components. This also provides that the nose assembly 32 is modular in design. In other words, the foregoing configuration enables the addition or removal of individual nose members to conform to belts of different widths, which is a relatively simple operation. The number of individual nasal members (and nasal contact members) is at least two 'but may be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or even ten or more individual nasal members, depending on the width of the moving glass ribbon The extent of the belt in the direction transverse to its direction of stretching, and the desired shape control or lateral movement limitation. Once the glass sheet 26 has been removed from the moving glass ribbon 20 and the lateral movement of the glass ribbon 2 has been arrested, the nasal contact members 56 can be retracted and positioned upstream of the scoring assembly 30 to prepare for subsequent individual glass. 201223886 Separation of plates. Once the nasal contact members have been repositioned (such as by moving the frame 58 outwardly away from the belt and moving up to the docking configuration above the scoring device) then the nose members are moved to the respective nasal contact members 50. It is adjacent to the belt but does not touch the position of the belt and the cycle begins again. In some embodiments, one or more of the nasal contact members 56 can engage the second surface 38 of the moving ribbon 20. In other words, one or more nasal contact members can contact the moving glass ribbon during the scoring operation. The contact of the nasal contact member and the belt during the scoring operation can dampen vibrations that are caused by the scoring and transmitted into the belt. The nasal contact members can be positioned, for example, to avoid a strip shape that conforms to the transverse width of the strip. This bend can be simple (e.g., arcuate) or more complex (such as an "S" shape). Therefore, during the scoring operation, some of the nasal contact members can be positioned to contact the second surface 38 of the glass ribbon while other nasal contacts The component is positioned a predetermined distance from the strip, as shown in FIG. For example, the nasal members can be actuated at the end positions (at the outer longitudinal edges of the glass ribbon) such that their respective nasal contact members 50 contact the belt during scoring to provide rigidity; however, The nasal members of the center of the glass ribbon are actuated while their respective nasal contact members are positioned a predetermined distance from the belt as an energy damper and the disturbance during separation is reduced. In still another embodiment, all of the nasal contact members of the plurality of nasal contact members contact the moving glass as the scoring member traverses the strip width over the second surface 38 of the glass ribbon 2G during the scoring operation Band 20, as shown in Figure 10. 20 201223886 Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above description is directed to an exemplary molten glass manufacturing process. The embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to other glass manufacturing processes (such as trench stretching processes). It should be emphasized that the above-described embodiments of the present invention, particularly any "preferred" embodiments, are merely possible examples of implementations, which are disclosed only for clarity of understanding of the present principles. Many modifications and variations of the above-described embodiments of the invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, 'without the separate transporter assemblies and frames described herein, such components including the anvil assembly, the scoring assembly, and the nasal assembly can all be mounted on a single transport assembly or frame (when moving the glass ribbon from The single-transport assembly or frame travels in the direction and speed at which the moving glass ribbon moves as the shaped body descends. Thus, it is ensured that each of the above-described components and their associated components can travel consistently and simultaneously with the moving glass ribbon. We intend to include all such modifications and variations within the scope of this document, and the present invention is protected by the scope of the accompanying claims.
