K Next, a pole-carrying device 12 is provided to take the edge of a flat glass casing. The present invention is particularly suitable for a glass casing having a thickness of 丨mm or less, but may be applied to a thickness of 2 mm or less. Wherein the pole take-up device 12 = • is movably placed around the mold 10. Please refer to Fig. 2 at the same time. In the present example, the poles 2 are in a box-like shape, and the flat glass shell = edge is taken extremely, and vertically inserted around the mold 1 。. Thereby, the flat breaking body G is placed on the top surface of the mold 1〇, that is, placed on the molding surface. Then, the glass casing G is heated to achieve a molding viscosity of (4) to 1 Torr (P〇iSe). The heating range of the invention can be between the viscosity 玻璃λ7 of the glass and the gift of 3 P〇1Se (the unit of viscosity is gram/cm*sec.), which can be heated to _ to 1〇Λ1〇ρ_ in general. The softening point of the ancient glass is defined as 1〇Λ7 6 , and the temperature at which the turning point is reached depends on the glass of different materials, usually about 7/16 ^ 201226343 above. When the glass casing is heated to the above-mentioned molding viscosity, the glass casing can be forced to be molded. One of the ways of applying force in this embodiment is to adsorb the glass casing G through the at least one gas passage 103, as shown in FIG. 1B. As shown, the glass casing G is attached to the molding surface ι 2 of the mold 10. In addition, the method of applying force by the present embodiment may be directly contacted by a pressurizing upper mold 2 and pressed downward to the glass collet G. Regarding the manner of applying the force according to the present invention, it is possible to carry out the alternative, and it is possible to carry out two methods, for example, the pressurizing upper mold 2 is mainly used, and the gas passage 103 is adsorbed in an additional manner. After the glass casing G is formed, the edge of the glass casing G of the formed type is taken by the pole-collecting device 12, and the air is blown with the auxiliary gas passage in time to move the glass casing G upwardly away from the mold 1 Hey. 5, further referring to FIG. 2, is a perspective view of a mold of the present invention. The molding surface 102 of the above-described mold 10 is identical to the contour of the surface to be formed of the stereoscopic glass casing G. In the present embodiment, the mold 10 has a pair of gas passages 1〇3 connected to the 5 metaformed surface 102, and a pair of heating ducts ιοί are located below the forming surface and are also located on both sides of the gas passage 103. The heating pipe 1〇1 can be supplied with a heated liquid or a cooled liquid for heating or cooling the mold. In the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the mold 10 may be stainless steel or carbonized crane, and it is preferred to use those having a thermal expansion coefficient similar to or slightly lower than that of the glass casing. The pole take-up device 12 has a slot 120 for carrying and positioning the glass housing G. The inner space of the pole take-up device 12 corresponds to the upper half of the mold 1 。. The heating step of the above embodiment can be carried out by the same heating furnace, that is, in a forming furnace. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the heating stage can be divided into two stages. Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the heating of the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional glass casing of the present invention. The present invention comprises a preheating heating 8/16 ..., 201226343 Furnace F1 having a preheating heater H1 and a forming furnace F2 having a short wavelength infrared heater H2. A conveyor station is also included for moving the mold 10. After the glass casing G is placed on the top surface of the mold 10, the mold 10 is transported by the transport table, and the mold 10 is moved into the preheating furnace F1, and the glass is heated by the preheating heater H1. Housing G. In this embodiment, the preheating heating to H1 may be a resistive or infrared laser. Wait until the temperature is preset to a predetermined level, for example, the viscosity of the annealing point is about 10A13poise; the mold 1 is moved into the forming furnace, and then heated around the glass casing G by the short-wavelength infrared heater H2. The wavelength of the above short-wavelength infrared heater H2 is defined to be less than 3 μm (# m). The glass housing G is heated to achieve a more easily formed viscosity, for example, a viscosity of about 10 Λ 8 poise. In order to mold the glass casing G, the glass casing G can be appropriately applied at this time. As shown in this embodiment, the main body can be pressed down against the glass casing G by the press upper mold 2, further. It is also possible to draw a vacuum from the gas passage 1〇3, and a vacuum is generated to the glass plate body G to be attached downward to the molding surface 102 of the mold 10, thereby assisting the glass casing G to be accelerated. When the glass casing G is formed, it is also possible to in turn blow the gas through the gas passage 1〇3 to help the glass casing G accelerate away from the mold 1〇. The heating duct 101 of the mold 1 can assist in heating. The invention is divided into a preheating section and a forming section. The preheating section is heated by the preheating heater H1 and then sent to the forming zone. The forming zone is heated by a short wavelength infrared heater H2 and pressed to form the glass casing G. The advantage of the two-stage heating is that the resistive heating method increases the overall temperature relatively quickly and the cost is also low, and the short-wavelength infrared ray is aimed at the glass breaking property, and the glass absorbs heat quickly. 9/16 201226343 This shortens the cy cle time of molding and speeds up manufacturing. In addition, the use of glass to absorb short-wavelength infrared rays is faster than the mold, and the infrared absorption efficiency is inconsistent to form a temperature difference between the heated glass and the mold, and the principle is adopted to form a mold release liquid without a mold release angle. . Further, the present invention can also achieve the continuous mass production process by the above two-stage heating. As shown in Fig. 3, the pressurizing upper mold 20 of the present embodiment is vertically movable in the crucible forming furnace F2. The top surface of the pressurizing upper mold 2 is connected to a stem 22. The pressurizing upper mold 2 is used to assist in pressurizing the top surface of the glass casing ^, as shown in Fig. 1B. Thereby, not only the glass casing G is adsorbed by the gas, but also the glass casing G is pressed by the pressurizing upper mold 20, and the molding can be accelerated while the upper mold 20 is pressed on the other side, and the intermediate portion of the glass casing G can also be formed. Has a flatter surface. Thereby, the present invention can make the glass plate body G more precisely shaped. The pressurizing upper mold 20 has a contoured bottom surface 202 which is the same as the surface contour to be formed by the glass casing G. One of the features of the present invention is that the mold release action is caused by the thermal expansion and contraction caused by the temperature difference between the glass and the mold. The process is described as follows. The pressurizing upper mold 20, which is vertically movably provided in the forming furnace F2, is pressed against the glass casing G to be bonded to the molding surface 102 of the mold 1〇. Thereafter, the pressurizing upper mold 20 is stopped in the glass casing for a predetermined period of time until the heat portion of the glass casing G is conducted to the mold, and then the pressurizing upper mold 20 is removed. The predetermined time described above may be about one minute depending on the heat conduction.

等候該玻璃殼體G因降溫而收縮,該模具⑺因升溫而 膨脹,直到該玻璃殼體G產生剛性並局部地脫離該模具 10。此時即可利用該扱取裝置12极取已成型的該玻璃殼體G 201226343 的邊緣離開該模具1〇。 、加壓上模20可以是靜態式加壓或漸進式加壓,其重量 視破螭奴體G的厚度而調整,至少lkg以上,較厚者可採 車乂重的加壓上模2〇 ,例如^①爪玻璃殼體甚至可使用至狄 ij.
