  • Patent number: 11384983
    Abstract: A glass heating furnace is illustrated. Rollers of the glass heating furnace are pivotally connected to a movable frame, and a roller driver of the glass heating furnace controls the rollers to rotate to a direction of an X axis, and a movable frame driver controls the movable frame to displace reciprocatively along a Y axis, such that the rollers displace along the Y axis at the same time. The glass displaces reciprocatively in multiple directions to be heated up more uniformly, which effectively reduces formation of the thermal stress marks on the glass. Since the rollers displace along the Y axis at the same time, the glass on the rollers does not have the displacement of the Y axis in respect to the rollers, such that friction of the displacement of the glass is reduced, which more effectively reduces formation of the thermal stress marks on the glass.

  • Patent number: 9963375
    Abstract: A glass heating furnace is disclosed, comprising a furnace body, an interior of which is formed with a chamber; plural upper heating elements which are disposed in the chamber; plural lower heating elements, which are disposed in the chamber and are located oppositely below the upper heating elements; plural rollers, which are disposed in the chamber and are locate between the upper heating elements and the lower heating element to carry glass to be heated up; and a roller power module, which is disposed outside the furnace body and is connected with the rollers. The rollers are controlled by the roller power module to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, driving glass to displace along a transversal direction. In addition, the upper heating elements and the lower heating elements are arranged in the chamber alternatingly and asymmetrically at an upper and lower position.

  • Publication number: 20180100697
    Abstract: A glass heating furnace is disclosed. The glass heating furnace allows glass to be heated up more uniformly, which reduces effectively the formation of the thermal stress marks on the glass. The glass heating furnace uses primarily a roller power module to control the rollers to displace reciprocatively, allowing the glass to be heated up uniformly and reducing significantly the formation of the thermal stress marks in the heating process of the glass, through the reciprocative displacement of the rollers. A glass is made by the glass heating furnace. The glass displaces in a chamber of the glass heating furnace along an S-shaped moving path or an 8-shaped moving path.
