Description

Straight hanging glass tempering equipment and its operation process

The invention relates to a tempering device, in particular to a direct-hanging glass tempering device and an operation flow thereof.

With the development of architectural design, people have higher requirements for architectural beauty and visual vision. Therefore, the proportion of glass in the surrounding structure of buildings is also increasing. Due to the high degree of transparency of the glass, it is also widely used in the electronics, industrial and display industries.

However, conventional glass has low impact strength and is easily broken, and the broken glass forms sharp edges and sharp corners, and is liable to cause damage to human bodies and other objects. Therefore, tempered glass (also known as safety glass) is now widely used in the construction industry and industry.

Tempered glass generally uses ion exchange to change the composition of the surface of the glass. When cooling, it uses different shrinkage forces on the surface of the glass and the inner layer to create strong stress between the inner and outer layers. Generally, the glass is several times (for example, 9-15 times).

Before the glass tempering, it must be preheated. After the tempering, it must be cooled again. That is, the tempering operation time is shorter than the preheating/cooling operation time. If a group of preheating/cooling is used for the steel If the furnace is used, it will cause the tempering furnace to be idle. Therefore, it is generally used in a plurality of groups (for example, two groups) of preheating/cooling furnaces in combination with a tempering furnace.

1 and 2 are a top plan view and a side view, respectively, showing a conventional glass tempering apparatus. In the figure, it is shown that two sets of preheating/cooling are used in a tempering furnace.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional glass tempering apparatus includes two preheating/cooling furnaces 500 as a first preheating/cooling furnace 510 and a second preheating/cooling furnace 520 movably The space is disposed on a frame 700, that is, a transfer space 530 between the two preheating/cooling furnaces; and a tempering furnace 600 including a transfer space 530 fixed between the two preheating/cooling furnaces. .

Please also refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 . The operation process of the conventional glass tempering equipment is to use a cart 800 to push a hanging basket 810 containing a plurality of glass 820 therein to the first preheating/cooling furnace. Below the 510; the hanging basket 810 and its glass 820 are lifted up to the inside of the first preheating/cooling furnace 510 by a suspension device (not shown) provided inside the first preheating/cooling furnace 510, to the glass 820 Performing a preheating operation; translating the first preheating/cooling furnace 510 together with the inner hanging basket 810 and the glass 820 on the rail (not shown) provided by the bracket 700 to the transfer space 530; The 810 and its glass 820 are hoisted down to the tempering furnace 600 to temper the glass 820; the hanging basket 810 and its glass 820 are lifted up to the first preheating/cooling furnace 510 located in the transfer space 530 by a suspension device. The first preheating/cooling furnace 510, together with the inner hanging basket 810 and the glass 820, is translated onto the track provided by the bracket 700 to the original position of the first preheating/cooling furnace 510, and is cooled; The vehicle 800 is pushed down to the preheating/cooling furnace 510, and the hanging basket 810 and its glass 820 are hoisted down to the push by a suspension device. 800, so complete package preheating glass, steel, cooling operation flow. Between the second preheating/cooling furnace 520 and the tempering furnace 600, another batch of glass is alternately subjected to an operation procedure of preheating, tempering, and cooling in the same procedure as described above.

However, the conventional glass tempering equipment and its operation flow have the following disadvantages in use and operation: (1) The basket 810 and its glass are placed in the first preheating/cooling furnace 510 and the second preheating/cooling furnace 520.
