S3: heating: and (4) downwards placing the Low-E film of the Low-E glass substrate cleaned in the step (S2) into a toughening furnace, and uniformly heating the Low-E film to the softening point temperature of the glass within a preset target time, wherein convection heating is carried out on the upper surface (glass surface) and the lower surface (Low-E surface) of the Low-E glass substrate during heating, the upper part of a hearth of the toughening furnace adopts hot air circulation convection, and the lower part adopts compressed air convection.
When heating, the Low-E glass substrate has a static state and a moving state (the moving is swinging, the swinging refers to that a motor drives a roller way (preferably a ceramic roller) to rotate through a belt, the motor positively rotates and reversely rotates, so the roller way can also forwardly or backwardly rotate, the glass is on the roller way, and the roller way drives the glass to reciprocally swing in a toughening furnace hearth, after the Low-E glass substrate enters the furnace hearth, the Low-E glass substrate is in the static state within a preset first heating time, and referring to fig. 2, until a plane of the Low-E glass substrate, which is in contact with the roller way, is in a flat state; and in a preset second heating time, the Low-E glass substrate is in a moving state, and the sum of the first heating time and the second heating time is equal to the target time.
Specifically, the Low-E glass substrate is heated within a preset first heating time, and the convection power range of the upper part of the toughening furnace is set to be 40% -60%, preferably 50%; the temperature range of the upper heating furnace is set to be 680-700 ℃, and is preferably 690 ℃; the heating power range of the upper heating wire is set to be 60-70%, and preferably 65%; the convection power range of the lower part of the heating furnace of the toughening furnace is set to be 20-30%, the temperature range of the lower part of the heating furnace is set to be 680-700 ℃, the power range of the lower heating wire is set to be 40-60%, and the temperature of the upper part of the heating furnace of the toughening furnace is more than or equal to that of the lower part of the heating furnace.
Heating the Low-E glass substrate within a preset second heating time, wherein the convection power range of the upper part of the toughening furnace is set to be 20-30%, the temperature range of the upper heating furnace is set to be 680-700 ℃, and the heating power range of the upper heating wire is set to be 60-70%; the convection power range of the lower part of the heating furnace of the toughening furnace is set to be 20-30%, the temperature range of the lower part of the heating furnace is set to be 680-700 ℃, the power range of the lower heating wire is set to be 40-60%, the temperature of the upper part of the toughening furnace is more than or equal to the temperature of the lower part of the heating furnace, the sum of the first heating time and the second heating time is equal to the target time.
In step S2, convection bellows are used for convection heating, and 6 convection bellows are arranged on the top of the tempering furnace. Each convection air box corresponds to a 5.5KW fan, the rotating speed is controlled to be 1000-1400r/min, a plurality of heating wires are distributed in front of the fan, the fan is used for transmitting heat generated by the heating wires to glass, and each heating wire is 2250W and used for generating a heat source; the rotating speeds of the fans are all set to be the same; hot air is blown to the glass surface by a convection fan. A compressed air pipeline is arranged at a position 250mm below the ceramic roller ways of the hearth and is arranged between every two adjacent ceramic roller ways, small holes of 2mm are formed in the pipeline, and compressed air enters the tempering hearth through the small holes, so that the upper space and the lower space of the glass substrate form gas convection.
During heating, the Low-E glass substrate has a static (non-swing) state and a moving (swing) state in a tempering furnace, and is in the static state within a preset first heating time after entering a hearth; and in a second heating time after the first heating time, the Low-E glass substrate is in a moving state.
The Low-E glass substrate 1 is provided with a Low-E surface 11 and a glass surface 12 which are oppositely arranged, the glass surface is the outside of a room, the Low-E surface 11 is directly contacted with a roller way 3, the roller way is a silicon roller, the concave arc-shaped tempered glass prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention is curved, the side edge in the width direction is arc-shaped, the glass surface of the concave arc-shaped tempered glass faces upwards, and the glass surface and the Low-E surface of the concave arc-shaped tempered glass are both concave, see fig. 1.
The invention aims to solve the problem of Low-E surface scratch, and increases the operation that the Low-E glass substrate stops moving when entering a toughening furnace, namely, the glass is in a static (non-swing) state in the early stage (the first heating time) in a toughening furnace, and the glass is ensured to be in a non-bending (flat) state (the non-bending state refers to that the glass is not bent when being observed by naked eyes, and refers to relative flatness) after being heated in the toughening furnace by adjusting the heating temperature, the heating power and the heating convection, and the specific reason is as follows: after the Low-E glass substrate enters the hearth, the glass does not swing in the early stage (first heating time), the glass and the roller way are relatively static and do not generate relative displacement, and at the moment, because the heat absorption rates of the Low-E surface and the glass surface are different, according to the principle of expansion with heat and contraction with cold, the glass surface can be bent towards the Low-E surface, at the moment, the edge part of the glass is contacted with the roller way in the tempering furnace, the contact area is small, the stress of the contact point is large due to the influence of gravity, in the non-swing stage, three heating modes of heat conduction, heat convection and heat radiation exist on the two surfaces of the Low-E glass substrate, and as the glass surface absorbs heat quickly and is heated at high temperature, the Low-E surface absorbs heat slowly and is heated at Low temperature, the heat of the glass surface can be transferred to the Low-E surface in a heat conduction mode, when heated to a certain degree, the two faces of the Low-E glass will have the same temperature, and the glass is in an unbent state. In the second heating time after the first heating time, the glass begins to swing, the contact area of the glass and a hearth roller way of the toughening furnace is increased, the stress of the contact point is reduced, the glass can be prevented from generating relative displacement along with the swing of the roller way to the maximum extent, and the quality defects of scratching, demoulding and the like of the finished concave arc bent toughened glass are avoided.
The glass is static (does not swing) in the first heating time in the toughening furnace chamber, the glass and the roller table are static relatively and do not generate relative displacement, the glass cannot be scratched, the glass enters the toughening furnace in a straight state, the glass can be bent in the heating process, the glass is ensured to be in the non-bending (straight) state after the first heating time in the toughening furnace chamber through the adjustment of heating temperature, heating power and heating convection, and the film surface scratch caused by the bending of the glass is prevented; and then the glass begins to swing within a second heating time after the first heating time, the later-stage swinging speed and the swinging distance are reduced, the glass is always in an unbent (flat) state, the scratch problem of the Low-E surface can be well solved, the scratch is generated because the glass is bent, the edge part is bent downwards and contacts with a ceramic roller way, the straight back edge part of the glass is not bent downwards, the stress of the position contacting with a ceramic roller is reduced, and the scratch is not generated.
If the glass does not swing all the way through the tempering furnace, the following disadvantages are caused: 1) the production efficiency is too low; 2) the glass is an amorphous solid with an irregular structure, the tempered glass needs to be heated to the softening point temperature of common float glass, the glass is softened at the moment, the glass is influenced by gravity at the moment, and when the glass does not swing, the part of the glass, which is not in contact with a roller way, sinks to form wave deformation. Therefore, the glass starts to swing in the second heating time after the first heating time, so that the efficiency can be improved, and the glass can be prevented from being waved and deformed.
If the glass is oscillated in the tempering furnace all the time according to the conventional manufacturing method, there are disadvantages as follows: because two surfaces (a glass surface and a Low-E surface) of the Low-E glass absorb heat differently in the toughening heating process, the glass surface absorbs heat faster than the Low-E surface, and the glass bends downwards in a toughening furnace. If glass normally swings after entering the hearth, the edge of the glass is in contact with the inner track of the tempering hearth, the contact area is small, the contact point of the edge of the glass and the roller way is stressed to be enlarged due to the influence of gravity, the glass and the roller way can generate relative displacement, and the bent tempered glass finished product has quality defects of Low-E surface scratch, demoulding and the like.
The first heating time accounts for 40-60%, preferably 50%, of the target time, and as can be seen from multiple operations, in the initial heating, the glass is stationary, when the glass is in a non-bent state, the first heating time accounts for 50% of the target time, and in the remaining time of the target time, the first heating time is the second heating time, and the second heating time accounts for 40-60%, preferably 50%, of the target time.
The preset target time is related to the thickness of the Low-E glass substrate and is specifically related to the following steps: when the thickness of the Low-E glass substrate is 5mm, the target time range is 290-320 s; when the thickness of the Low-E glass substrate is 6mm, the target time range is 350s-370 s.
In step S3, the Low-E glass substrate swings back and forth at a speed of 80-120mm/S within a swing distance range of 800mm-1000mm within a preset second heating time, and if not within this range, the Low-E surface scratch of the Low-E glass substrate is more obvious.
In step S3, the feeding speed of the Low-E glass substrate into the toughening furnace is set to be in the range of 50mm/S-100mm/S, and if the speed is too high, the Low-E surface scratch of the Low-E glass substrate is affected.
S4: and moving the Low-E glass substrate heated in the step S3 to a bent air grid for arc bending to obtain Low-E bent toughened glass, wherein a Low-E film of the Low-E glass substrate is placed in downward contact with a roller way. When the curved arc is processed, the curved air grid of the toughening furnace needs to be bent upwards, the bending height is set according to the actual required curved arc radius of the curved toughened glass, and the specific implementation process is as follows: the Low-E glass substrate enters the front of the curved air grid for 20s, the upper curved air grid falls down, after the glass completely enters the curved air grid, the lower curved air grid arcs according to the preset height (the arc-striking height is related to the curved arc radius), after the arc-striking, the Low-E glass substrate is firstly cooled under the air pressure of 200 and 2500Pa (preferably 1200Pa) for the first time, the time range of the first cooling is set to be 40-80s (preferably 50s), then the Low-E glass substrate is secondly cooled under the air pressure of 800 and 1500Pa (preferably 1000Pa), the time range of the second cooling is set to be 80-160s (preferably 110s), and finally the concave arc curved toughened glass is obtained. The curved arc radius range of the concave arc curved toughened glass is set to be 1500mm-15000 mm.
The curved arc glass prepared by the production method of the curved toughened glass with the Low-E surface capable of contacting with the roller way of the toughening furnace has the following properties: scratching and pocking mark defects can not be seen through transmission vertical observation outside 1500mm under natural light conditions; no visible crack, unfilled corner and edge breakage defect exist; there is no band-like optical distortion.
If the Low-E glass substrate does not swing within the preset target time after entering the hearth of the toughening furnace, the production efficiency is too Low, the curved arc forming comparison test is carried out on the glass (such as 5mm and 6mm) with the same thickness under the same condition, the objects are the curved arc glass (swinging all the time in the toughening furnace) prepared by the traditional production method, the glass not swinging in the heating furnace and the curved arc glass prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention, the comparison test parameters are the total time required by heating in the toughening furnace, and the glass does not enter the curved air grid, namely the total time between entering the toughening furnace and not entering the curved air grid, and the test is respectively carried out on the glass with two thicknesses, which is detailed in table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from the above table, if according to the conventional production method, the scratches on the glass surface were observed to be obviously yellowish; if the glass does not swing in the tempering furnace all the time, the heating time is long, the production efficiency is low, and the glass can generate wave deformation; if the preparation method provided by the scheme is adopted, the production efficiency is high, scratches cannot be seen when the glass surface is observed, and wave deformation does not exist.
According to the production method of the bent toughened glass with the Low-E surface capable of contacting with the roller way of the toughening furnace, provided by the invention, the operation that the Low-E glass substrate stops moving when entering the toughening furnace is added, and meanwhile, the glass is ensured to be in a straight state after the glass is heated in a toughening furnace hearth for the first time through the adjustment and optimization of the heating temperature, the heating power and the heating convection, so that the quality defects of scratching, demoulding and the like of the finished concave arc bent toughened glass are avoided, and the problem that the Low-E surface is scratched when the concave type Low-E bent toughened glass is produced in the traditional toughening furnace is solved; the production method of the bent tempered glass with the Low-E surface capable of contacting with the roller way of the tempering furnace, provided by the invention, has high production efficiency, and the scratches are not visible when the glass surface is observed, so that the bent tempered glass has no wave deformation; the concave arc-bent toughened Low-E glass can be produced without purchasing equipment again, and the production cost is reduced.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
