The present invention relates to a method or an apparatus for bending a plate-like material such as a glass sheet for a side window having a double-curved surface for automobiles wherein the positioning of support frame and forming mold is performed with high precision.There are a forming step for placing a glass sheet on a forming support frame and pressing the glass sheet placed thereon against a forming surface of forming mold to bend the glass sheet and a conveyance step for transferring the formed glass sheet onto a conveyance support frame (the forming support frame can be used as a conveyance support frame) for conveying the glass sheet wherein the forming step includes a forming position correcting step for correcting a displacement of press position with respect to the forming support frame and a forming mold at the time of pressing the glass sheet against the forming mold, and the conveyance step includes a transfer position correcting step for correcting a displacement of transfer position of the glass sheet with respect to the forming mold and the conveyance support frame at the time of transferring the formed glass sheet onto the conveyance support frame.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for bending a glass sheet which can appropriately prevent cloth mark due to suctioning.The present invention is characterized by a method for bending a glass sheet comprising a heating step for heating a glass sheet to soften the glass sheet, and a bending step for bending the heated and softened glass sheet to have a predetermined shape, wherein the bending step comprises a step of pressing the heated and softened glass sheet, whose edges are supported by a supporting frame, against a forming surface of a bending mold opposed to the supporting frame, and a vacuum forming step for providing a negative pressure through a plurality of suction holes formed on the forming surface so that the shape of the pressed glass sheet is bent along the forming surface of the mold, and wherein in the vacuum forming step, the plurality of suction holes are grouped into at least two groups, and the raised negative pressures for the respective groups are lowered at different timings.

摘要:
An air-cooling and tempering apparatus for a glass sheet includes an upper air-blowing unit, which blows cooling air to an upper surface of a bent glass sheet having a high temperature; and a lower air-blowing unit, which blows cooling air to a lower surface of the glass sheet. Each of the upper air-blowing unit and the lower air-blowing unit includes a plurality of air-blowing members provided in a matrix pattern and a plurality of linkages, the linkages coupling adjacent air-blowing members among the plurality of air-blowing members in a row and/or column direction of the matrix pattern.
