Reference now will be made to various example embodiments as shown in the drawings to describe the conception of the present disclosure. It would be appreciated that the description on those embodiments is provided merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and thus implement the present disclosure, rather than suggesting any limitations to the scope of the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a glass manufacturing process 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The glass manufacturing process 100 is particularly used in vehicle glass manufacturing. Although some specific steps are shown here, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that one or more steps could be added, deleted, replaced with other step (s) or the like, without departing from the principle and spirits of the present disclosure.
At block 102, a raw glass is cut, so as to obtain glass of a desired size. In general, the two dimensional shape of the cut glass still does not match the desired shape. Therefore, at block 104, the glass is die-cut to form a glass having a two dimensional shape that substantially meets the expectations. At block 106, the die-cut glass is ground to remove sharp edges. At block 108, the glass is punched and one or more holes are formed in the glass for use. At block 110, a functional or identifying component, such as an antenna, trademark or the like, is printed on the glass.
At block 112, the glass is subjected to a bending process, and then the bent glass is tempered. In the glass bending process, firstly, the glass is heated above a glass transition temperature (e.g. about 600-640℃) . After heated, the glass is transferred to a bending machine which applies a shape having a certain curvature to the glass. In the meanwhile, air is blown at a high speed to a quenching zone of the glass for bending the glass such that a residual stress can be generated in the glass to increase the mechanical strength of the glass and improve security. Glass bending can be fulfilled through multiple technologies, including molding, pressure forming, special quenching and the like. At block 114, various types of connectors are welded on the glass. At block 116, the glass is packaged.
The glass manufacturing process has been introduced briefly above, where the bending process at block 112 is crucial in determining whether the glass finally manufactured meets the shape requirement. However, current adjustments to the glass forming process mainly rely on the experience of the engineers or operators, making it difficult to meet the precise control requirement.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method 200 for use in a glass bending process according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. At block 202, a shape measurement of the glass manufactured according to the glass bending process is obtained. In the glass manufacturing process, online shape measurement for the glass is performed by a glass shape measuring device, which may follow the step of tempering the fully formed glass. For example, the shape measurement may be performed for every piece of glass in some glass bending processes while the shape measurement may be performed for some pieces of glass (i.e., random inspection is performed) in some other glass bending processes.
For example, the glass shape measuring device may be a contact probe measuring device that includes a plurality of (e.g. 3-4) studs. During measurement, the device can support glass to be measured via those studs on a checking fixture, and a travel distance of the probe at each measurement point is used as the shape measurement value of the glass to be measured. It would be appreciated that any other appropriate measuring devices can be employed for measurement.
At block 204, based on the shape measurement of the glass and the target shape, a value of a change in a parameter associated with the glass bending process is determined via a model. For example, a parameter associated with the glass bending process may be a process parameter of the glass bending process, such as a fan speed, a pressure difference of the quenching zone, a temperature of the glass or the like.
Inventors have found that a difference (represented by ΔM
k, for example) between the shape measurement and the target shape is a function of the change (represented by ΔQ
i, for example) in the parameter (represented by Q
i, for example) associated with the glass bending process. For instance, the difference ΔM
k of the shape measurement resulting from the change in the parameter ΔQ
i may be represented through the following Equation (1) :
(Q
1+ΔQ
1, Q
2+ΔQ
2, …, Q
n+ΔQ
n) -S
k (Q
1, Q
2, …, Q
n) (1)
Wherein, k denotes a measurement point, S
k is a shape of a formed glass at the measurement point k, and Q
i represents a manufacturing parameter associated with the glass bending process.
In the condition that the change in the parameter ΔQ
i is small, the Equation (1) can be linearized to obtain the Equation (2) :
In some embodiments, an elementary shape (represented by
for example) of the parameter associated with the glass bending process and an amplitude function (represented by λ
proc (ΔQ) , for example) of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process may be used to characterize the model. For example, the model may be expressed through the following Equation (3) :
Wherein,
denotes a change in glass measurement at the measurement point k caused by the change in the process parameter Q (when other parameters do not change) . It can be seen from the Equation (3) that the impact of the process parameter Q is divided into two parts:
–an elementary shape
corresponding to the impact of the parameter Q. The elementary shape represents a typical shape pattern of the impact. An example is a parabolic shape in the direction of the primary radius of the glass bending device, which is an impact of a wind pressure difference caused by a difference between an upper fan speed and a lower fan speed. Normally, the typical shape depends on the geometry information of the glass, but is least associated or not associated with the parameter Q. For example, the elementary shape may be a saddle shape, a linear shape or a parabolic shape for the parameter Q.
–an amplitude function λ
proc (ΔQ) which denotes a magnitude or level of the impact of the parameter Q. For example, the amplitude function may be a linear function dependent on ΔQ.
In some embodiments, the elementary shape for the parameter associated with the glass bending process may be acquired by obtaining a shape measurement of the glass manufactured according to the glass bending process and then fitting the shape measurement. For example, the shape measurement can be obtained via a contact probe measuring device. In addition, the shape measurement can be implemented via measuring the coordinates of a plurality of points on the glass (e.g. a three-coordinate measuring instrument) . The measurement method used when modeling the elementary shape may be identical to the measurement method at block 202, or may be different, as long as the elementary shape can be acquired. Moreover, the elementary shape can be determined offline, and can be fully separated from manufacturing.
Fitting the shape measurement can be performed via an optimized method. For example, an exhaustive approach may be used to select the shape model having the best fitting result from a plurality of shape models as the final fitted elementary shape.
In some embodiments, the elementary shape and the amplitude function can be both represented or implemented by a matrix. In this way, the calculation can be performed in a linear operation, thereby reducing the calculation amount while improving the calculation efficiency.
As the Equation (3) is known, the value of the change in the process parameter ΔQ is determined based on the difference
between the shape measurement and the target shape. In some embodiments, an inverse function approach may be used to determine the value of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. More specifically, it is to determine the difference
between the shape measurement of the glass and the target shape and determine an inverse function of the amplitude function (e.g. λ
proc (ΔQ) ) of the change (e.g. ΔQ) in the parameter (e.g. Q) associated with the glass bending process. The inverse function may be expressed as
The value of the change in the parameter associated with glass bending process, namely the value of ΔQ, can be determined based on the difference
between the shape measurement of the glass and the target shape, the elementary shape
for the parameter (e.g. Q) associated with the glass bending process, and the inverse function
of the amplitude function of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. In the presence of a plurality of measurement points,
may correspond to the slope of the linear regression of the dataset
In some embodiments, if it is difficult to obtain the inverse function, the value of the parameter associated with the glass bending process can be determined through an optimized method instead. More specifically, a loss function to be optimized is defined. For example, the loss function may be a function based on the shape measurement of the glass, the target shape and the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. For example, the loss function can be defined as Equation (4) :
Wherein,
is a current glass shape at the measurement point k,
is a target shape at the measurement point k, and ΔM
k (ΔQ) is a function of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process (i.e., the Equation (1) or (3) ) . Ideally, when
C (ΔQ) is of the smallest value. Therefore, an optimized loss function (e.g. C (ΔQ) ) can be used to acquire the value of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. For example, a greedy search algorithm or other optimized algorithm (e.g. a gradient descent algorithm, a BFGS algorithm or the like) may be utilized to acquire the ΔQ of the minimized C (ΔQ) : ΔQ=argmin (C (ΔQ) ) . Alternatively, it is also feasible to find a ΔQ value that enables the result of the loss function to be less than a predetermined threshold.
In an alternative embodiment, a machine learning model for the glass bending process may be used to determine the value of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. For example, the machine learning model may include a deep learning model or the like.
At block 206, the parameter associated with the glass bending process is adjusted based on the value of the change in the parameter associated with the glass bending process. For example, the Q value and the value (ΔQ value) of the change in the parameter Q may be added to obtain the value of the adjusted parameter: Q+ΔQ. After adjustment, the adjusted parameter can be applied to the glass bending device for subsequent manufacturing.
Figs. 3A and 3B are schematic diagrams of a method for use in a glass bending process according to a specific embodiment, where Fig. 3B is a cross-sectional view along a cutting line in Fig. 3A. In some glass bending devices, there is a difference between the upper fan speed and the lower fan speed, which is referred to as fan speed difference D: D=V
upper-V
lower. The parameter can be used to control the shape of the side vehicle window glass, in particular the curvature along the direction of the primary radius. The impact of the fan speed difference can be simulated through Equation (5) :
Wherein, C
b is a constant coefficient; (X
k, Y
k) is a coordinate of the measurement point k, where X
k is used to compute Y
1, k and Y
2, k, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B; Y
1, k and Y
2, k, are intersections between a vertical line passing through (X
k, Y
k) and a zero-line parabola which is determined by positions of three studs (S1, S2 and S3) , as denoted by the dotted line in Fig. 3A; (Y
k-Y
1, k) (Y
k-Y
2, k) defines the elementary parabolic shape in the direction of the primary radius, where the coefficient of the quadratic term is 1, and the value of the parabola at (X
k, Y
1, k) and (X
k, Y
2, k) is zero, which is a property of the zero-line parabola. For example, S
k is used to denote C
b (Y
k-Y
1, k) (Y
k-Y
2, k) .
In the example, through the comparison between the Equation (5) and Equation (3) , it can be seen that the elementary shape is a parabolic shape represented as
and the amplitude function λ is a linear function C
bΔD, where ΔD may be a process parameter controlled by the upper fan speed and the lower fan speed. It is worth noting that experiments are necessary to determine the value of the coefficient C
b. The coefficient C
b may depend on factors, such as a thickness of the glass, a glass temperature, an average fan speed, and the like. Considering that the glass temperature and the average fan speed have a slight change during the manufacturing process, a respective C
b value may be adopted for glass with a respective thickness.
In the example as shown in Figs. 3A-3B, the cutting line is located at the position of X
11, and the solid parabola in Fig. 3B represents a fitted parabola of measurement results. As shown in Fig. 3B, when the fan speed difference D is reduced, the curvature of the parabola is further increased, as indicated by the dotted parabola in Fig. 3B. With reference to Fig. 3B, Y
11 is a value of the parabola at the measurement point 11, which can approximately reflect the impact of the fan speed.
