Due to calculating (calculating of time indeclinable system) for stable state, so using the algorithm of thermal fluid analysis.Flowing It is set as stable, using SIMPLE algorithms, the flowing of fluid, convective heat transfer, radiant heat transfer three is coupled, and using single One solver solves.For solver, commercially available software can be used, well known general thermal fluid analysis can be used Software.Herein, in thermal fluid analysis, computationally glass plate SG is handled as fluid, because of the movement of glass plate SG Speed is consistent with conveyance speed and it is known that so so that the flow velocity of glass plate SG region entireties is fixed and is calculated.Moreover, air It assumes that the perfect gas for incompressibility, and the heat caused by free convection is transmitted comprising in the calculation.
It is analyzed by conditions above transitivity value is input to general thermal fluid analysis software, first can be found out The Temperature Distribution of glass plate SG in section slow cooling space 42b.
Next, finding out the Temperature Distribution of the glass plate SG in the later slow cooling space 42c~42f of second segment.About Two sections of later slow cooling space 42c~42f, also make discrete grid model in the same manner as the 42b of slow cooling space.Specifically, In grid model, the heat of possessing for being flowed into the glass plate SG of slow cooling space 42c~42f is used as thermal fluid analysis Glass plate SG's when as a result calculated slave the preceding paragraph slow cooling space outflow possesses heat (Temperature Distribution).That is, for example, for Enter the glass plate SG of second segment slow cooling space 42c possesses heat, calculated by the result used as thermal fluid analysis When having found out the glass plate SG of temperature (Temperature Distribution) in first segment slow cooling space 42b and having been flowed out from first segment slow cooling space 42b Glass plate SG's possesses heat.
Moreover, being set as the set temperature for being arranged in heat unit 361a~366a of second segment slow cooling space 42c than upper one Low 5 DEG C~30 DEG C of the temperature of section, is preferably set to low 15 DEG C of temperature, one section is often promoted towards flow direction, set temperature is set For the temperature reduced with 5 DEG C~30 DEG C of range, it is preferably set to reduce by 15 DEG C of temperature every time.
For finding out the glass plate SG universes in the later slow cooling space 42c~42f of second segment by thermal fluid analysis Temperature Distribution condition and first segment slow cooling space 42b in glass plate SG Temperature Distribution used in condition transitivity value It is identical, so omitting the description.
In this way, in thermal fluid analysis simulation, glass plate when entering each of multiple slow cooling spaces is possessed into heat Amount is set as glass plate and possesses heat into fashionable, provides the thermal discharge for possessing heat and heater into fashionable glass plate, thus Glass plate of the glass plate in each of multiple cooling spaces can be found out possesses heat.At this point, thermal fluid analysis mould Quasi- is to be carried out in each of multiple cooling spaces, and the flow direction of the slave glass plate in multiple cooling spaces is upper Trip side is seen as in the later cooling space of second segment, when can flow out glass plate from the cooling space abutted in upstream side Temperature Distribution is used as possessing heat into fashionable.

< viscoelasticity analysis simulates >
Use the glass in the slow cooling space 42b~42f universes (slow cooling area 420) obtained by the thermal fluid analysis Plate SG's possesses heat (Temperature Distribution), and the Strain Distribution of glass plate SG is found out by viscoelastic model analysis.
Specifically, by the glass plate SG in the slow cooling space 42b~42f universes obtained by the thermal fluid analysis Temperature Distribution, the physics value of the glass plate SG and the stress of glass plate SG mitigate parameter and structure Relaxation parameter and be input to Well known analysis software and analyzed, thus carry out viscoelastic model analysis, find out the Strain Distribution of glass plate.It is specific next Say, consider stress mitigate parameter, structure Relaxation parameter and find out Strain Distribution.In the 42b~42f of slow cooling space, sometimes in glass It is cooled down in the state that the temperature of glass plate SG is uneven in the direction of the width, continuous real estate heat stress due to shrinking difference, and And stress constantly mitigates.Therefore, it in order to evaluate the residual stress for remaining in glass plate SG, not only needs to carry out based on contraction Thermal stress calculates, and needs to consider that the stress that stress reduces at any time mitigates.Therefore, by using the viscous of structure analysis software Elastic model come consider stress mitigate.Moreover, in order to find out structure Relaxation parameter, it is also contemplated that received caused by structural relaxation Contracting.The contraction of glass plate SG has the contraction (thermal that the volume caused by thermal expansion is reduced as temperature reduces Expansion), as the thermal contraction (compaction) shunk caused by structural relaxation.Due to by glass plate SG in high temperature Volume can reduce when lower long-time is placed, so being set to structure Relaxation parameter.By for structural relaxation parameter Test experiment, cycle-index are to harmonize structure Relaxation parameter in a manner of to meet the contraction result being repeatedly heat-treated.
According to viscoelasticity analysis as a result, the Temperature Distribution of glass plate and the strain of glass plate have correlativity, therefore The correlativity can be found out in advance, and is based on the correlativity, and glass is found out according to the temperature (Temperature Distribution) of glass plate SG The Strain Distribution of plate SG.The stress of glass plate SG mitigates parameter and the structure Relaxation parameter picture passes through the measurement in experiment And it is shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 is such.
According to case above, glass plate SG can be found out using thermal fluid analysis and viscoelastic model analysis answers variation Cloth.
The Strain Distribution of the glass plate SG found out using the method is according to by the setting of heat unit 361a~366a The thermal discharge that temperature is set as 700 DEG C of original state is found out, by making the set temperature of heat unit 361a~366a change, The Strain Distribution of glass plate SG also changes.Due to finding out heat release by using thermal fluid analysis and viscoelastic model analysis The relationship of the variation of the set temperature of portion 361a~366a and the strain variation of glass plate SG, therefore can be by inhibit glass The mode of the Strain Distribution of plate SG controls the set temperature of heat unit 361a~366a, with this come reduce glass plate SG warpage and Strain.
Alternatively, it is also possible to be arranged device for measurement of strain (strain measurement sensor) in slow cooling space 42b~42f and to glass The warpage of glass plate SG and strain, Temperature Distribution are measured.Strain measurement and temperature measuring (thermocouple) they are different measurement, but The two can be measured in identical place.
Moreover, the heat (Temperature Distribution) of possessing of glass plate SG can also be due to the roller 350a~350e that is stretched is clamped Variation.At this point, the heat detection sensor having using thermocouple unit 380 or using draw roll 350a~350e is to drawing The heat (Temperature Distribution) of possessing that roller 350a~350e has is stretched to be measured.By using the guarantor of draw roll 350a~350e There is heat and glass plate SG's to possess both heats to be simulated, it is also possible to obtain the warpage of glass plate SG and strain.
It specifically, can also be to the model in each slow cooling space plus stretching when carrying out the thermal fluid analysis simulation The grid model of roller 350a~350e determines that the grid model of draw roll 350a~350e is possessed according to the measurement result Heat, and solve the environment temperature in slow cooling space and the Temperature Distribution of glass plate SG by assigning set temperature to heat unit. The Temperature Distribution of glass plate SG can be more accurately found out as a result,.
