Description

玻璃製造方法、及玻璃供應管的預熱方法Glass manufacturing method and preheating method of glass supply pipe

[0001] 本發明是關於玻璃製造方法、及玻璃供應管的預熱方法。[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing glass and a method for preheating a glass supply pipe.

[0002] 如習知，對於以液晶顯示器(LCD)、有機EL顯示器(OLED)等的平板顯示器(FPD)用的玻璃基板為代表的各種領域所利用的平板玻璃，有著表面缺陷或***等嚴格的製品品味要求的實情。 　　[0003] 為滿足如以上的要求，廣泛利用下拉法作為平板玻璃的製造方法。此下拉法有習知的溢流下拉法或狹縫下拉法。 　　[0004] 溢流下拉法是將熔融玻璃流入設置在剖面大致錐形之成形體的上部的溢流槽，一邊使得從該溢流槽向兩側溢出的熔融玻璃沿著成形體兩側的側壁部流下，在成形體的下端部融合一體化，連續成形為一片的平板玻璃。並且狹縫下拉法是在供應熔融玻璃的成形體的底壁形成有狹縫狀的開口部，將熔融玻璃通過此開口部流下藉此連續成形一片的平板玻璃。 　　[0005] 尤其是溢流下拉法中，成形後的平板玻璃的表背兩面在成形過程中，成形體的任何部位皆未接觸所成形，因此平面度非常良好形成無傷痕等缺陷鍛造面。 　　[0006] 使用溢流法的平板玻璃製造裝置有如專利文獻1所揭示，具備：內部具有成形體的成形槽；設置在成形體的下方的退火爐；及設置在退火爐下方的冷卻部及裁斷部。該平板玻璃製造裝置是使熔融玻璃從成形體的頂部溢出，並在其下端部融合藉此成形平板玻璃(玻璃帶)，將此平板玻璃通過退火爐除去其內部應變，在冷卻室冷卻至室溫之後，以裁斷部裁斷成預定尺寸所構成。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] 　　[0007] 　　專利文獻1：日本特開2012-197185號公報[0002] As is conventionally known, flat glass used in various fields, such as glass substrates for flat panel displays (FPD) such as liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic EL displays (OLED), has severe surface defects or bumps. The facts of the product taste requirements.　　[0003] In order to meet the above requirements, the down-draw method is widely used as a method of manufacturing flat glass. The down-draw method includes the conventional overflow down-draw method or the slit down-draw method. [0004] The overflow down-draw method is to flow molten glass into an overflow groove provided on the upper part of a shaped body with a substantially conical cross-section, while causing the molten glass overflowing from the overflow groove to both sides to follow the side walls on both sides of the shaped body The part flows down, merges and integrates at the lower end of the molded body, and is continuously molded into a sheet of flat glass. In the slit down-draw method, a slit-shaped opening is formed on the bottom wall of the molded body for supplying molten glass, and the molten glass is poured down through the opening to continuously shape a sheet of sheet glass.　　[0005] Especially in the overflow down-draw method, the front and back sides of the formed plate glass are not formed in contact with any part of the formed body during the forming process, so the flatness is very good and the forging surface is formed without defects such as scratches. [0006] As disclosed in Patent Document 1, a plate glass manufacturing apparatus using the overflow method includes: a forming tank with a formed body inside; an annealing furnace provided below the formed body; and a cooling section and cutting provided below the annealing furnace unit. This flat glass manufacturing device overflows molten glass from the top of the molded body and fuse it at the lower end to form a flat glass (glass ribbon). The flat glass is passed through an annealing furnace to remove its internal strain, and then cooled to the chamber in a cooling chamber. After warming, it is formed by cutting the cutting part to a predetermined size. [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document] 　　[0007] 　　 Patent Document 1: JP 2012-197185 A

[發明概要] [發明所欲解決之課題] 　　[0008] 上述的平板玻璃製造裝置是在配置於成形槽的上游側的玻璃熔解槽中，以熔融玻璃原料為熔融玻璃，將此熔融玻璃供應至下游側的成形槽。在熔解槽與成形槽之間，設有將熔融玻璃移送至成形槽用的玻璃供應路。此玻璃供應路是例如連接以白金等的金屬所構成的複數的玻璃供應管所成。 　　[0009] 藉玻璃供應路移送的熔融玻璃是例如成為1600℃以上的高溫。玻璃供應路為低溫時在供應路內熔融玻璃流動變得困難，或產生變質，因此在玻璃製造裝置的運作上，有事先將玻璃供應路預先加熱(預熱)的必要。此一場合中，將玻璃供應管以連結的狀態加熱時，會有因各玻璃供應管的膨脹，導致其連接部份有變形及損傷之虞。為此，玻璃供應路的加熱是以將各玻璃供應管分離進行為佳。 　　[0010] 此一場合中，由於玻璃供應管構成為筒狀，因此加熱中內部的熱會通過其開口部放射到外部而導致熱損失加大，而有不能有效進行預熱的問題。 　　[0011] 本發明是鑒於上述的情況所研創而成，以有效進行玻璃供應管的預熱為技術課題。 [用於解決課題的手段] 　　[0012] 本發明是用於解決上述的課題，本發明的玻璃製造方法，具備：熔解玻璃原料生成熔融玻璃的熔解步驟；將上述熔融玻璃成形的成形步驟；及藉連結複數玻璃供應管所構成的玻璃供應路將上述熔融玻璃從熔解步驟朝成形步驟移送的玻璃供應步驟，其特徵為：進一步具備：在上述玻璃供應步驟之前，以預先將上述玻璃供應管分離的狀態通電加熱的預熱步驟，及在上述預熱步驟後，連接上述玻璃供應管構成上述玻璃供應路的玻璃供應路形成步驟，上述預熱步驟具備藉封閉構件封閉上述玻璃供應管之開口部的至少一部份的封閉步驟。 　　[0013] 如上述，在預熱步驟中，以藉封閉構件封閉玻璃供應管之開口部的至少一部份的狀態將該玻璃供應管通電加熱。因此，可盡可能降低通過開口部在玻璃供應管內的熱放射導致的熱損失，因此可有效執行玻璃供應管內的預熱。 　　[0014] 上述的玻璃製造方法中，上述封閉構件是以可撓耐熱性構件所構成為佳，例如可由耐熱纖維所成的毛氈所構成。不限於此，上述封閉構件是例如可藉耐火板等耐火性的板構件構成。藉此，可預熱步驟的封閉構件的操作變得容易。 　　[0015] 又，上述玻璃供應管具備：收容於殼體的筒狀的主體部，及形成在上述主體部的端部的突緣部，在上述封閉步驟中，上述封閉構件是以和上述突緣部接觸的狀態封閉上述玻璃供應管的上述開口部，並透過固定構件支撐於上述殼體為佳。 　　[0016] 根據上述，以殼體包覆玻璃供應管的主體部，並以封閉構件封閉玻璃供應管的開口部，藉此可將玻璃供應管有效地加熱。並且，透過固定構件將封閉構件支撐於殼體，可穩定地封閉開口部。 　　[0017] 上述預熱步驟是以耐火物包圍上述玻璃供應管的上述主體部的外圍面為佳。藉此，可降低玻璃供應管之來自主體部的外圍部的熱放射所導致的熱損失。因此，可更為有效率地執行玻璃供應管的預熱。 　　[0018] 又，本發明相關之玻璃供應管的預熱方法，其特徵為，具備：將複數玻璃供應管通電加熱的預熱步驟，及在預熱步驟後，連接上述玻璃供應管構成玻璃供應路的玻璃供應路形成步驟，上述預熱步驟具備藉封閉構件封閉上述玻璃供應管之開口部的至少一部份的封閉步驟。 [發明效果] 　　[0019] 根據本發明，可有效進行玻璃供應管的預熱。[Summary of the invention] [Problems to be solved by the invention] 　　[0008] The above-mentioned plate glass manufacturing apparatus uses a molten glass raw material as molten glass in a glass melting tank arranged on the upstream side of a forming tank, and supplies this molten glass to Forming groove on the downstream side. Between the melting tank and the forming tank, a glass supply path for transferring the molten glass to the forming tank is provided. This glass supply path is formed by connecting a plurality of glass supply pipes made of metal such as platinum.　　[0009] The molten glass transferred through the glass supply path has a high temperature of, for example, 1600°C or higher. When the glass supply path is low, it becomes difficult for molten glass to flow in the supply path or deteriorates. Therefore, in the operation of the glass manufacturing apparatus, it is necessary to preheat (preheat) the glass supply path in advance. In this case, when the glass supply pipes are heated in a connected state, the expansion of each glass supply pipe may cause deformation and damage to the connected part. For this reason, the heating of the glass supply path is preferably performed by separating the glass supply pipes.　　[0010] In this case, since the glass supply pipe is configured in a cylindrical shape, the internal heat during heating is radiated to the outside through the opening portion thereof, resulting in increased heat loss, and there is a problem that effective preheating cannot be performed.　　[0011] The present invention is developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and takes effective preheating of the glass supply pipe as a technical problem. [Means for Solving the Problem] 　　[0012] The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. The glass manufacturing method of the present invention includes: a melting step for melting glass raw materials to produce molten glass; and a forming step for forming the molten glass; and The glass supply step of transferring the molten glass from the melting step to the forming step through a glass supply path formed by connecting a plurality of glass supply pipes is characterized by further comprising: prior to the glass supply step, separating the glass supply pipes in advance The preheating step of energized heating in the state of, and after the preheating step, the glass supply path forming step that connects the glass supply pipe to form the glass supply path, the preheating step includes closing the opening of the glass supply pipe by a closing member At least part of the closing step.　　[0013] As described above, in the preheating step, the glass supply tube is energized and heated in a state where at least a part of the opening of the glass supply tube is closed by the closing member. Therefore, the heat loss caused by the heat radiation in the glass supply pipe through the opening can be reduced as much as possible, and therefore, the preheating in the glass supply pipe can be effectively performed.　　[0014] In the above-mentioned glass manufacturing method, the sealing member is preferably made of a flexible heat-resistant member, for example, a felt made of heat-resistant fiber. It is not limited to this, and the said sealing member can be comprised with a fire-resistant plate member, such as a fire-resistant board, for example. Thereby, the operation of the closing member capable of the preheating step becomes easy. [0015] In addition, the glass supply pipe includes: a cylindrical main body portion housed in a housing, and a flange portion formed at an end of the main body portion, and in the closing step, the closing member is configured to and the protrusion It is preferable that the opening of the glass supply pipe is closed with the edge in contact and supported by the housing through a fixing member.　　[0016] According to the above, the main body of the glass supply pipe is covered with the casing, and the opening of the glass supply pipe is closed with the closing member, thereby effectively heating the glass supply pipe. In addition, the closing member is supported by the housing through the fixing member, and the opening can be stably closed.　　[0017] In the preheating step, it is preferable that a refractory surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the glass supply pipe. Thereby, the heat loss caused by the heat radiation from the outer periphery of the main body of the glass supply pipe can be reduced. Therefore, the preheating of the glass supply pipe can be performed more efficiently.

Figures 1 to 6 show the first embodiment of the glass manufacturing apparatus and glass manufacturing method related to the present invention. [0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the glass manufacturing apparatus according to this embodiment is provided with a melting tank 1, a clarification tank 2, a homogenization tank 3, a state adjustment tank 4, a forming tank 5, and connecting tanks in order from the upstream side. 1~5 glass supply routes 6a~6d. Moreover, the glass manufacturing apparatus is equipped with the annealing furnace (not shown) which performs the strain removal process of the plate glass GR formed by the forming tank 5, and the cutting device (not shown) which cuts the plate glass GR after the strain removal process.　　[0023] The melting tank 1 is a vessel for dissolving the glass-making feedstock and performing a dissolution step to produce molten glass GM. The melting tank 1 is connected to the clarification tank 2 through the glass supply path 6a. The clarification tank 2 is a container for the clarification process of defoaming the molten glass GM supplied from the melting tank 1 by the action of a clarifier etc. The clarification tank 2 is connected to the homogenization tank 3 through the glass supply path 6b.　　[0024] The homogenization tank 3 is a container for the homogenization step of homogenization by stirring the clarified molten glass GM with a stirring blade or the like. The homogenization tank 3 is connected to the state adjustment valve 4 through the glass supply path 6c. The state adjustment valve 4 is a container for a state adjustment step that adjusts the state after the molten glass GM is appropriately shaped. The state adjustment tank 4 is connected to the forming tank 5 through the glass supply path 6d.　　[0025] The forming tank 5 is a container for forming the molten glass GM into a predetermined shape. In this embodiment, the forming tank 5 forms the molten glass GM into a plate shape by an overflow down-draw method. In detail, the forming groove 5 has a cross-sectional shape (a cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the paper surface of FIG. 1) formed into a substantially tapered shape, and an overflow groove (not shown) is formed on the upper portion of the forming groove 5. [0026] The forming tank 5 is used to supply the molten glass GM to the overflow tank through the glass supply path 6d, and then the molten glass GM overflows from the overflow tank, along the side wall surfaces on both sides of the forming tank 5 (located on the front and back of the paper). The sides on both sides) flow down. The molding groove 5 fuse|fuses the molten glass GM which flows down at the lower end part of a side wall surface, and shapes it into a plate glass GR.　　[0027] The formed flat glass GR is, for example, a thickness of 0.01 to 10 mm, and is used as a substrate or protective cover for flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays or organic EL displays, organic EL lighting, and solar cells. In addition, the forming groove 5 may perform other down-drawing methods such as a slit down-drawing method.　　[0028] The glass supply paths 6a to 6d are components for performing the glass supply step of transferring the molten glass GM from the melting tank 1 on the upstream side to the forming tank 5 on the downstream side. As shown in Figure 2, the glass supply paths 6a to 6d are formed by connecting a plurality of glass supply pipes 7. The plural glass supply pipes 7 constituting the glass supply paths 6 a to 6 d are connected to each other through an insulating member 8. The insulating member 8 is configured in a ring shape having an opening in the center.　　[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the glass supply paths 6a-6d can be separated into glass supply pipes 7. The glass supply pipe 7 is made of platinum or platinum alloy. The glass supply pipe 7 is covered by an elongated casing 9. The glass supply pipe 7 is equipped with the elongate main body part 10 which transfers molten glass GM, and the electric heating part 11a, 11b provided in the edge part of the main body part 10. As shown in FIG.　　[0030] Although the main body 10 is configured in a cylindrical shape (for example, a cylindrical shape), it is not limited to this shape. The main body 10 may be configured to be longer than the housing 9. Therefore, each end of the main body 10 and the housing 9 protrude from the end in the longitudinal direction.　　[0031] The energized heating parts 11a, 11b include a first energized heating part 11a provided at one end of the main body part 10, and a second energized heating part 11b provided at the other end of the main body part 10. Each of the energized heating parts 11 a and 11 b has a flange part 12 formed around the outer peripheral surface of the end of the main body part 10, and an electrode part 13 integrally formed on the upper part of the flange part 12. Each of the energization heating portions 11a and 11b applies a predetermined voltage to the electrode portion 13 to directly energize and heat the main body portion 10.　　[0032] Although the flange portion 12 is configured in a disc shape, it is not limited to this shape. Although the electrode part 13 is a rectangular plate part protruding upward from the upper part of the flange part 12, it is not limited to this shape.　　[0033] A cooling portion 14 is provided on the surface (outer surface) of the flange portion 12. The cooling unit 14 is constituted by a pipe through which a cooling medium can circulate. The cooling part 14 is fixed to the surface of the flange part 12 by other means of welding. The cooling part 14 is made of other metals such as copper and nickel alloys. The cooling part 14 has a first part 14 a arranged on the flange part 12 and a second part 14 b arranged on the electrode part 13.　　[0034] The first portion 14a is formed in a circular shape along the edge of the flange portion 12 constituting the disc shape. The second portion 14b is formed linearly along the longitudinal direction (up-down direction) of the electrode portion 13. The second portion 14b includes an inflow portion 14c for supplying the cooling medium to the first portion 14a, and a discharge portion 14d for taking out the cooling medium passing through the first portion 14a. In addition, water, air, and other various fluids are used as cooling media for circulating the cooling unit 14.　　[0035] The housing 9 is made of steel and other metals as a cylindrical body, but it is not limited to this shape. The casing 9 accommodates the refractory (for example, refractory brick) 15 arranged on the outer surface of the main body 10 surrounding the glass supply pipe 7. The inner diameter of the housing 9 is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the main body 10 of the glass supply pipe 7. Thereby, a space in which the refractory brick 15 can be accommodated is formed between the housing 9 and the main body portion 10. In addition, the housing 9 is in a building such as a factory where a glass manufacturing device is arranged, and is supported in a position-changeable manner by a stand or the like not shown.　　[0036] Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a plate glass GR using the glass manufacturing apparatus configured as described above will be described. [0037] In the present invention, the raw glass is melted in the melting tank 1 (dissolving step) to obtain the molten glass GM, and then the molten glass GM is sequentially subjected to the clarification step by the clarification tank 2 and the homogenization step by the homogenization tank 3 And borrow the state adjustment step of the state adjustment slot 4. Subsequently, this molten glass GM is transferred to the forming tank 5, and the molten glass GM is formed into the plate glass GR by the forming tank 5 (forming step). The molten glass GM moves from the melting tank 1 to the forming tank 5 via the glass supply paths 6a to 6d (glass supply step). After the forming step, the internal strain of the plate glass GR is removed by the annealing furnace (slow cooling step). After the slow cooling step, the plate glass GR is cut into a predetermined size (cutting step), or wound into a roll shape (winding step).　　[0038] When performing the above continuous steps, it is necessary to heat the glass supply paths 6a to 6d and other constituent elements 1 to 5 in advance (preheating step). The preheating step is performed for each glass supply pipe 7 in a state where each glass supply path 6a to 6d is separated into the glass supply pipe 7 as its constituent element.　　[0039] Hereinafter, the preheating step (preheating method) of the glass supply pipe 7 will be described in detail while referring to Figs. 4 to 6. The preheating step includes a step of closing the opening 7a at the end of the glass supply pipe 7 (closing step), and a step of heating the glass supply pipe 7 (heating step).　　[0040] In the closing step, the opening 7a of the glass supply pipe 7 is closed by the closing member 16. The closing member 16 is preferably composed of, for example, a member having heat resistance and flexibility such as felt made of heat-resistant fibers or fire-resistant paper. Although the sealing member 16 is comprised with ceramic fiber, such as alumina fiber, for example, it is not limited to this structure. In addition, the closing member 16 may be formed of a refractory plate, a refractory brick, or a plate-shaped member having other heat resistance. The shape of the closing member 16 is a shape that can correspond to the shape of the opening 7a, for example, it may be similar to the shape of the opening 7a. In the present embodiment, the closing member 16 is configured in a thick sheet shape having a circular main surface. The diameter of the closing member 16 is larger than the opening 7 a of the glass supply pipe 7 and smaller than the diameter of the first part 14 a (circular part) of the cooling part 14. Thereby, the closing member 16 does not contact the cooling part 14 but contacts the surface (outer surface) of the flange part 12. In addition, the shape of the closing member 16 is not limited to the above-mentioned shape, and may be a shape such as a rectangle or an ellipse.　　[0041] The closing member 16 is supported by the housing 9 through the fixing member 17. The fixing member 17 is composed of a linear member having heat resistance. The fixing member 17 is preferably made of a stretchable material that is stretchable in response to the expansion of the main body 10 and the like. Specifically, as the fixing member 17, for example, a rope made of twisted ceramic fibers or the like can be used. The housing 9 has plural (four in the figure) support portions 18 for locking the fixing member 17. Although each support portion 18 is a plate portion protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the housing 9, it is not limited to this shape.　　[0042] The supporting portion 18 has a portion (locking portion) 18a that locks the fixing member 17. The fixing member 17 is wound around the closing member 16 in a state where the closing member 16 and the flange portion 12 are brought into contact with the opening portion 7 a of the closing main body portion 10. The fixing member 17 is locked with the locking portion 18 a to fix the closing member 16 to the flange portion 12.　　[0043] At the end of the closing step, move to the heating step. In the heating step, a voltage is applied to the electrode portion 13 to start heating. In the heating step, the cooling medium is circulated through the cooling part 14 to heat the main body part 10 while cooling the respective energized heating parts 11a and 11b. After the closing member 16 is heated to a temperature sufficient to transfer the molten glass GM, it is removed from the glass supply pipe 7. The glass supply pipe 7 from which the closing member 16 has been removed is connected to the other glass supply pipes 7. By connecting a plurality of glass supply pipes 7, glass supply paths 6a to 6d are formed (glass supply path forming step). In the step of forming the glass supply path, it is preferable to install the closing member 16 in a state where the openings 7a of the glass supply pipes 7 to be connected are adjacent to each other in advance, and to connect the glass supply pipes 7 immediately. According to the above-mentioned connection method, the glass supply paths 6a to 6d can be formed while maintaining each glass supply pipe 7 at a high temperature.　　[0044] Subsequently, the glass supply paths 6a to 6d are connected to the corresponding other constituent elements 1 to 5, and the glass manufacturing device is assembled (the assembly step of the glass manufacturing device). In addition, the other constituent elements 1 to 5 except for the glass supply paths 6a to 6d are provided with energized heating parts in main parts. At the same time as the preheating of each of the constituent elements 1 to 5 and the glass supply pipe 7, the heating step by the energized heating unit is performed.　　[0045] After that, the melting step, the clarification step, the homogenization step, the state adjustment step, the forming step, etc., which have been described, are performed to produce the plate glass GR. [0046] In the glass manufacturing method (preheating method of the glass supply tube 7) described above in the present embodiment, in the preheating step, the opening 7a of the glass supply tube 7 is closed by the closing member 16 to shield the main body from the outside. Within 10. Thereby, the heat loss caused by the heat of the main body 10 radiating from the inside to the outside through the opening 7a can be reduced as much as possible. Thereby, the preheating of the glass supply pipe 7 can be effectively performed.　　[0047] In addition, the closing member 16 is not in contact with the cooling portion 14 of each energized heating portion 11a, 11b, and is fixed to the flange portion 12. Therefore, contact of the closing member 16 with the cooling portion 14 can prevent the cooling portion 14 from being excessively heated.　　[0048] Figures 7 and 8 show the second embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment described above, the closing member 16 is configured in a disc shape, but in this embodiment, it is configured in a rectangular shape. The size of the closing member 16 is set to be larger than the diameter of the first part 14 a of the cooling part 14. Therefore, compared with the first embodiment, the closing member 16 covers each of the energized heating portions 11a and 11b in a wider range. Thereby, the heat radiation from the opening part 7a of the glass supply pipe 7 (main body part 10) is prevented, and the heat radiation from the surface of the flange part 12 can also be prevented. Thereby, the preheating of the glass supply pipe 7 can be effectively performed.　　[0049] Figures 9 and 10 show the third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the closing member 16 is a circular plate member or a block material having an area approximately the same as the opening area of the opening 7a of the glass supply pipe 7. The closing member 16 is inserted into the opening 7a of the glass supply pipe 7 to close the opening 7a. At this time, since the closing member 16 is held on the inner surface of the opening 7a of the glass supply pipe, the fixing member 17 and the supporting portion 18 of the housing 9 exemplified in the first embodiment are not required.　　[0050] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, nor is it limited to the above-mentioned functions and effects. Various changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the spirit of the present invention.　　[0051] In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the opening part 7a of the glass supply pipe 7 of the glass supply path 6a-6d is closed by the closing member 16, it is not limited to this. Other components of the glass manufacturing equipment, namely, the melting tank 1, the clarification tank 2, the homogenization tank 3, the state adjustment tank 4, and the forming tank 5, may have the function of transferring the molten glass GM, and these can be regarded as glass supply Tube 7.　　[0052] For example, the clarification tank 2 is provided with a head for discharging the gas generated by the defoaming process of the molten glass GM.
