US 9,604,866 B2 · Device for manufacturing columnar curved tempered glass

Abstract

The present invention discloses a device for processing columnar curved tempered glass. The device mainly comprises a glass heating furnace, a glass bending mechanism and a glass tempering mechanism connected sequentially, wherein the arrangement of each supporting roller in the rollers supporting the high temperature flat glass is changed from planar arrangement in space into curved arrangement corresponding to the shape of the glass to be formed, so that the glass bending mechanism enables the glass to suffer bending deformation. Transferring rollers for outputting the formed curved glass in the axial direction of the supporting roller are arranged at the clearance of the rollers of the bending mechanism. In the present invention, bending shaping and tempering of the high temperature flat glass are completed by two stations to break the normal procedure that bending shaping tempering are carried out by one bending appliance intensively, thereby providing a novel technological approach for processing columnar curved tempered glass.

Dependent claims

A device for forming a curved tempered glass comprising:

a glass heating furnace for heating a flat glass;
a bending station for bending a previously heated flat glass thereby forming a curved glass;
a tempering station for tempering the curved glass, wherein the tempering station is separate from the bending station;
wherein the flat glass is previously heated in the heating furnace and then is conveyed along a first direction out of the heating furnace and into the bending station;
wherein the heated flat glass is subsequently bent in the bending station so that the curved glass extends along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction;
and
wherein the curved glass exits the bending station and enters the tempering station along the second direction;
and
wherein the heated flat glass is bent in the bending station via a bending mechanism that comprises glass supporting rollers and transferring scroll wheels and wherein each transferring scroll wheel is arranged between two adjacent glass supporting rollers.
