摘要： A system is provided for heating and thermally conditioning glass sheets, wherein sheets are conveyed individually or in groups or loads through a tunnel-type heating furnace and thermal conditioning area upon a series of aligned rollers. The rollers are driven in groups, with each group having an independent drive mechanism. The independent drive mechanisms are provided with interrelated controls whereby the system is controlled in zones of one or more groups of rolls. A sheet or load of sheets is advanced into a zone, and the rolls within that zone are then driven to convey the sheet or load in an oscillating forward and reverse manner to oscillate the glass within the zone. The oscillation proceeds according to a predetermined schedule whereby the distances travelled by the sheet or load on each forward and reverse stroke varies according to a predetermined pattern so that the contact points between the glass and rolls is different upon each reversal in direction. Similar oscillating schedules may be employed in subsequent zones of the heating furnace, as well as in a thermal conditioning region through which the sheet or load is conveyed.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于对玻璃板进行加热和热调理的系统，其中片材通过隧道式加热炉和热调节区域在一系列对准的辊子上单独或以组或负载传送。 辊子分组驱动，每组具有独立的驱动机构。 独立驱动机构具有相互关联的控制，由此将系统控制在一组或多组辊的区域中。 板的片材或负载被推进到区域中，然后驱动该区域内的辊以以正向和反向的振荡方式输送片材或负载以在该区域内摆动玻璃。 振荡根据预定的时间表进行，由此在每个前进和后退行程上由片材或负载行进的距离根据预定图案而变化，使得每次反转时玻璃和辊之间的接触点不同。 可以在加热炉的后续区域以及在片材或负载被传送的热调节区域中采用类似的振荡时间表。

摘要： An elongated, horizontal tunnel-type furnace for heat treating workpieces carried in succession therethrough. The furnace is of modular construction and comprises a series of contiguous individual modular sections that define a tunnel-type enclosure. Each modular section comprises a stationary lower enclosure section and an assembled vertically retractable upper enclosure section. The upper enclosure sections are supported along opposite sides by a plurality of spaced, free-standing lifting devices. A screw-jack is associated with each lifting device for raising and lowering the upper enclosure sections relative to the lower enclosure sections. The upper enclosure sections may be raised and lowered individually or joined together and moved as a unit.
