It can be induced to float on the surface of the molten glass and be released.
- the supply pipe 1 in the present invention is formed by the fan-shaped portion 3 and an introduction pipe portion provided on the upstream side of the fan-shaped portion 3.
- the supply pipe 1 of this example is formed by connecting the fan-shaped portion 3 to a cylindrical tube 2 disposed in the horizontal direction.

- a horizontal flat portion 4 at the downstream end portion of the supply pipe 1 near the opening 12 of the fan-shaped portion 3. Since the fan-shaped portion 3 has an upward inclination angle, when the flat portion 4 is not provided at the downstream end portion of the fan-shaped portion 3, the molten glass in the fan-shaped portion 3 is almost from the opening 12. It is sent to the molten glass supply unit 5 at this inclination angle. Therefore, in this case, the molten glass is directly sent as an upward molten glass flow from the opening 12 to the molten glass supply unit 5, and then collides with the above-described twill 8 installed facing the opening 12.
- the flat part 4 is provided in the opening part of the fan-shaped part 3 (supply pipe 1), the flow direction of the molten glass is changed to the horizontal direction by the flat part 4, and the molten glass is rectified to be molten glass. Since it can be sent to the supply unit 5, it can be prevented from being disturbed.
- the flat portion 4 in order to reliably perform this rectification at the outlet of the fan-shaped portion 3, the flat portion 4 has a certain length c, and the cross-sectional shape and the cross-sectional area thereof are the same in the molten glass transport direction. preferable.

- the height e from the upper surface of the opening 12 of the fan-shaped portion 3 to the molten glass level 11 is preferably 5 to 450 mm, and the upper limit is preferably about 500 mm. If e is smaller than 5 mm, the base material that has become heterogeneous on the surface will be mixed into the mainstream of the molten glass, and if e exceeds about 500 mm, it is difficult to maintain the temperature of the molten glass in this part, which is not preferable. .
- the height f from the lower surface of the opening 12 (upper surface of the lip tile 13) to the molten glass level 11 is preferably 100 to 600 mm, more preferably 350 to 550 mm. It is preferable to secure a minimum f of 100 mm from the viewpoint of controlling the flow rate of the molten glass by twill. If f exceeds 600 mm, the flow rate of the molten glass by twill may be difficult to control.
- the upward inclination angle of the fan-shaped part 3 is defined by the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of the top end 14 of the fan-shaped part 3.
- the top end 14 of the fan-shaped part 3 is a molten glass flow of the fan-shaped part 3 in which the center line L in the transfer direction of the molten glass is located in a plan view of the fan-shaped part 3 as shown in FIG.
- the flat portion 4 is provided at the downstream end portion of the fan-shaped portion 3 at the top portion of the path as in this example, it is the top portion of the molten glass flow path in the region excluding the flat portion 4.
- the reason why the upward inclination angle of the fan-shaped portion 3 is defined by the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of the top end 14 of the fan-shaped portion 3 is that the height h of the fan-shaped portion 3 is gradually decreased in the molten glass transfer direction.
- the inclination angle of the fan-shaped portion 3 is different between the upper surface and the lower surface, and it is necessary to select some reference.
- the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of the top end 14 of the fan-shaped portion 3 is preferably 2 to 30 degrees, more preferably 2 to 20 degrees, and further preferably 2 to 7 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction. If ⁇ 1 is smaller than 2 degrees, the position of the upstream end of the fan-shaped portion 3 (connection portion with the cylindrical tube 2) cannot be lowered sufficiently with respect to the molten glass supply portion 5 and the molten glass level 11, so There is a possibility that a good molten glass cannot be taken out by avoiding the molten glass in the surface layer portion that is not stable in terms of components due to evaporation of the glass component.
- the spreading angle ⁇ 2 in the left-right direction of the fan-shaped portion 3 is preferably 10 to 45 degrees.
- ⁇ 2 is smaller than 10 degrees, especially when the upstream end of the fan-shaped portion 3 is circular as in this example, the horizontal width of the upstream end is relatively small corresponding to the diameter of the cylindrical tube 2, so A sufficient spread in the opening 16 of the portion 3 (supply pipe 1) cannot be obtained, and it becomes difficult to adapt the width of the opening 12 to the width of the molten glass supply portion 5.
- ⁇ 2 is larger than 45 degrees, the molten glass sent from the cylindrical tube 2 spreads rapidly in the lateral direction at the upstream end of the fan-shaped portion 3, so that a delay occurs in the molten glass flow at both ends where the direction change is large. The molten glass cannot be transferred uniformly. From this point, ⁇ 2 is more preferably 15 to 20 degrees.
- the material of the supply pipe 1 is preferably platinum or a platinum alloy (for example, platinum-rhodium alloy), or a material coated with platinum or a platinum alloy, which has high heat resistance and high corrosion resistance against molten glass.
- Platinum or platinum alloys have an excellent track record for this type of application, and are particularly suitable for molten glass having a high molding temperature, such as a glass substrate for LCD.
- Examples of the material coated with platinum or a platinum alloy include those obtained by coating the inner surface of a heat-resistant member such as a brick with platinum or a platinum alloy.
- the introduction pipe portion and / or the fan-shaped portion of the supply pipe 1 formed of these materials is heated uniformly by energization.
- the energization heating can be performed by directly energizing platinum or a platinum alloy, or when the material covered with platinum or the platinum alloy is a conductive material, energizing the material.
- the high-temperature molten glass taken out from the molten glass production region 6 to the supply pipe 1 is completely shielded from the ambient air until it is transferred to the molten glass supply unit 5, so that cooling due to contact with air can be prevented. At the same time, it is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature by energization heating of the supply pipe 1 and is transferred to the molten glass supply unit 5 at a temperature suitable for molding.
- the present invention can be used as a molten glass supply device for a float glass manufacturing apparatus, and is particularly suitable for supplying molten glass containing a glass component that has a high melting temperature and is volatile, such as an alkali-free borosilicate glass, to a float bath.
