Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for separately arranging vacuum glass supports, which comprises a base, a vibrator, a separation chamber assembly, a separation actuator, a feed tube, and a drive device. The separation chamber assembly is provided with a feed inlet, an accommodation cavity, and a dispensing outlet. The feed inlet is communicated with the accommodation cavity. The dispensing outlet is communicated with the feed tube. The separation actuator is arranged directly below the accommodation cavity and capable to move reciprocatingly with respect to the accommodation cavity.

Abstract: A method for controlling discharging of a glass plate in a glass plate tempering technology process is provided. After a glass plate is fed into a heating furnace, a monitoring unit monitors and performs filtering on a working parameter of a heating element in real time, and then transmits the filtered working parameter to a control unit. The control unit compares the filtered working parameter with a specified threshold. After the working parameter reaches a maximum value or a minimum value, and then reaches the specified threshold during a subsequent change, the control unit sends an instruction to a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism acts to move the glass plate out of the heating furnace directly or after a time delay, so as to complete a glass plate heating process. The present disclosure changes a conventional time-based control method, reduces energy consumption, and improves quality of a tempered glass.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rotary transition section and a tempering and forming apparatus for forming bent glass. The rotary transition section includes a main rack and an auxiliary rack. A plurality of flexible shaft rollers for forming glass are arranged at intervals on the auxiliary rack along the glass conveying direction. An end of the auxiliary rack that is closer to a heating furnace is rotatably connected to the main rack. An end of the auxiliary rack that is away from the heating furnace is connected to a traction mechanism arranged on the main rack. In the tempering and forming apparatus employing the rotary transition section, a forming and tempering section has a lifting function to achieve abutment against a roller surface after the rotation of the transition section, which in turn solves the technical problem that the edge of the glass is difficult to form.

Abstract: A method for bending and tempering of curved glass using flexible shafts is provided. During production of curved glass, after discharged from a heating furnace, glass is preformed with the two edge portions of the glass in the transverse direction being kept in the same plane and the middle portion of the glass in the transverse direction gradually sinks along the conveying direction. The glass then enters a forming and tempering section with the two edge portions in the transverse direction being supported and is finally formed and tempered. In this method, when the glass gradually becomes curved and enters the forming and tempering section, the two edge portions of the glass in the transverse direction are always supported by flexible shaft roller beds, thereby preventing the edge portions from being dangled and avoiding the formation of wavy edge portions.
