- This air-cooling strengthening device is directed to a glass plate located between rollers from a box-shaped air outlet arranged between rollers of a roller conveyor while conveying a high-temperature glass plate carried out of a heating furnace by a roller conveyor. By injecting air, the glass plate is strengthened by air cooling.
- Patent Document 5 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 2001-2434 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 5) and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-2435 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 6) describe a position between a box-shaped air outlet disposed between rollers of a roller conveyor.
- An air-cooling strengthening device is disclosed in which air is ejected toward a glass plate to be moved, and the air outlet is moved up and down in conjunction with the up and down movement of a roller.
- This air-cooling strengthening device is configured to wind and move each roller of the roller conveyor up and down so as to maintain the shape of the glass plate bent and formed by the bending device before the air-cooling strengthening device (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). It is an apparatus that performs cold strengthening, and since the blower module moves up and down following the roller, the distance of the blower module to the glass plate is constant, and the entire glass plate can be strengthened uniformly.
- the air-cooling strengthening devices shown in Patent Documents 3 to 6 are devices that dispose air holes between the rollers of the roller conveyor and inject air toward the glass plate passing between the rollers, the roller diameter is particularly large. Then, air for air-cooling strengthening is difficult to hit the part in the vicinity including the contact part of the roller. For this reason, a reheat phenomenon (a phenomenon of repeated cooling and cooling) occurs on the glass plate, and the glass plate is satisfactorily air-cooled. There was a drawback that it could not be strengthened.
