## 1. Introduction

Normal glass will form a permanent stress during annealing cooling [1], and the strength will also decrease. Ordinary glass is subjected to deep processing, and the strength of the glass is gradually increased to form tempered glass [2]. Ordinary vacuum glass, with a low heat transfer coefficient, has a good effect of isolating sound transmission, but its carrying capacity is not as good as tempered glass [3, 4]. Tempered vacuum glass replaces ordinary vacuum glass with tempered glass, which is a new type of energy-saving transparent insulation material. The principle is similar to a thermos, with excellent insulation heat transfer performance, sound insulation performance, and antiwind pressure performance. After the damage, the tempered glass does not cause a large area to fall off, but the formation of irregular shape of small particles. Therefore, tempered vacuum glass is called safe type glass [5–9]. Its emergence which prompted the vacuum glass industry to the technical, energy-saving direction is the world's glass processing technology research hotspot [10].In the quality evaluation of toughened vacuum glass product, it is necessary to conduct an evaluation study on the performance quality of the tempered vacuum glass product and the combined working environment conditions [11]. The factors that affect the quality of vacuum glass are diverse and complex. For example, the position and number of supports in tempered vacuum glass will affect the applicability of the glass, making the evaluation result lack objectivity and accuracy [12–14]. The gray system theory mainly studies how to solve the uncertainty problem of ‘small sample’ or ‘lack of relevant information.’ Based on the information coverage, the reality of the movement of things is explored through the role of sequence operators [15, 16].In view of the uncertainty of vacuum glass quality evaluation factors, the gray system theory was introduced in the quality evaluation process. Quality performance indicators of vacuum glass establish a quality evaluation system for vacuum glass based on the improved gray correlation method, conduct a comprehensive evaluation, and get objective evaluation results.


## 2. Establishing the Comprehensive Evaluation Mathematical Model of Improved Gray Correlation Method

One of the important methods for studying and dealing with complex systems with gray system theory is gray correlation analysis [17, 18]. This method has no excessive requirements on the number of samples, thus making up for the lack of sample size in vacuum glass quality evaluation. Only a small sample size can be used for correlation analysis.Gray correlation method is a branch of gray system theory. This is a theory that studies and deals with complex systems starting from the incompleteness of information. Gray relational method is often used as a comprehensive evaluation method of multi-index system [19]. Generally, the optimal scheme is selected as the standard sequence, and the scheme with the largest degree of association is the best.In general, the correlation coefficients in the gray correlation analysis are fixed values. The resolution coefficient value is generally set to 0.5, and the value cannot be adjusted reasonably according to the application. Appropriate resolution coefficients can fully reflect the integrity of the relevance, while weakening the impact of outliers on the associated space. This study proposes a mathematical model of relevance that is based on the gray system and improved on this basis. Its principle is to make the number of data uniform by interval value.

The quality of tempered vacuum glass and its service life depend on the combined effects of various factors.The tempered vacuum glass is the research object. Introducing the quality influencing factors into the concept of behavioral factors, the vacuum glass evaluation indexX0 systematic behavior index sequence is (1)X0=x01,x02,⋯,x0k,⋯,x0nx 0(k) is thek rating data of a certain behavior factor of the reliability of toughened vacuum glass.Assume that there are a total ofm factors that affect the reliability of the product.

## 3. Dependability of the Module Division and Determine the Sample Module

### 3.1. Determination of the Reliability of Toughened Vacuum Glass

Tempered vacuum glass is a new type of energy-saving glass. It is composed of two pieces of tempered glass, and the glass plates are separated by a fixed array arrangement with a height of 0.1~0.2mm. Tempered glass is used around the glass for low temperature sealing. Open a suction hole in one of the glass panes for vacuum exhaust (Figure1).Figure 1
Tempered vacuum glass cross section composition.According to the actual investigation of the enterprise, 20 factors of the tempered vacuum glass product structure were determined. The impact factors were screened from the module of the reliability index characteristics category and design requirements. From the point of view of reliability and actual production, 20 influencing factors were optimized and screened, and 15 of them were selected as evaluation indexes. At the same time, the whole structure of the tempered vacuum glass is divided into three major modules: the glass airtight property module, the glass substrate property module, and the support preferred module. The glass gas seal module contains a vacuum suction device, getter, and airtight properties. The main issue is the hermeticity of tempered vacuum glass. In the process of sealing and evacuating the glass, if it is handled improperly, no vacuum environment can be formed inside the glass cavity. It makes the tempered vacuum glass unable to play the role of insulation and sound insulation. The glass substrate characteristics module includes the impact resistance and corrosion resistance of the glass substrate itself. The preferred support module relates to various parameters of the support, including size, shape, material, and the like. The reliability indexes and contents contained in each module are shown in Table1. The contents of the indicator parameters are slightly different according to different design requirements.Table 1

First, follow calculations according to (9) and (10) and rewrite the formula for the gray correlation coefficient as(20)γ0ik=Δmin+ρΔmaxΔik+ρΔmaxFrom formula (20), the gray correlation coefficient sequence β0i and the gray correlation degree γ0i are derived as follows:(21)β0i=γ0i1,γ0i2,⋯,γ0ik,⋯,γ0in(22)γ0i=1n∑k=1nβ0iThrough the above formula, the coefficient of gray correlation can be calculated.(23)β01=0.51,0.63,1.00,0.67,0.63,0.57β02=0.77,0.63,0.74,1.00,0.71,0.57β03=0.54,0.63,1.00,1.00,0.54,0.63β04=0.95,0.87,1.00,0.59,0.67,0.68β05=0.91,0.65,1.00,0.59,0.65,0.65β06=0.69,0.69,1.00,0.87,0.33,0.87β07=0.49,0.87,1.00,0.43,0.51,0.63β08=0.91,0.83,0.87,1.00,0.56,0.51β09=0.67,0.69,0.45,1.00,0.42,0.95β010=0.77,1.00,0.63,1.00,0.77,1.00β011=0.77,0.57,0.63,1.00,0.69,1.00β012=0.71,0.71,1.00,0.51,0.83,0.71Thus, according to formula (22), the gray correlation degree of each group of sample data is calculated, Table 4.Table 4
Glass hermetic features module gray correlation.
sequence gray relational degree γ 01 0.668 γ 02 0.737 γ 03 0.723 γ 04 0.851 γ 05 0.741 γ 06 0.742 γ 07 0.655 γ 08 0.78 γ 09 0.697 γ 010 0.862 γ 011 0.777 γ 012 0.745The gray correlation degree calculation results are sorted from large to small.(24)δ=γ010,γ04,γ08,γ011,γ012,γ06,γ05,γ02,γ03,γ09,γ01,γ07It can be seen that the correlation betweenγ010 of the 10th group and the behavioral sequenceX0 of the system characteristic index is the largest. In the reliability test of the mechanical characteristic module, the test results of the 10th test prototype in the 12 groups of test prototypes are most in line with the design standards. To visualize the accuracy of the gray correlation analysis. Draw 12 sets of experimental prototype reliability assessment data line diagram, Figure 2.Figure 2
Reliability index data line of the glass sealing characteristic module.In order to visually illustrate the accuracy of gray correlation analysis, draw 12 sets of test prototype reliability index assessment data line diagram, shown in Figure2.Figure2 shows that the six reliability indexes of the mechanical characteristic module, respectively, correspond to six coordinate points. According to the gray correlation analysis model, the closeness of the indexesX1,X2, …,X12 andX0 is determined by the closeness of the index values corresponding to the six points with the standard values. The correlation between the corresponding 12 experimental prototype serial lines and the standard data sequence lineX0 in Figure 2 is consistent with the analysis trend of point correlation method. The gray correlation coefficient sequences of the 9th and 4th experimental prototypes with higher gray correlation were compared, Figures 3 and 4.Figure 3
Gray correlation coefficient data lines of test prototype No. 4 and No. 10.Figure 4
No. 4 and No. 10 test prototype reliability index data line.As can be seen in Figure3, the gray correlation coefficients of β010 and β04 are distributed between 0.55 and 1.0. If 0.7 is taken as the reference line, then there are 5 index values of No. 10 test prototype to meet the requirements. No. 4 test prototype has three. If 0.9 is used as a baseline, then 3 indicators are satisfied in prototype 10, while the 4th prototype has only 2 indicators. The analysis shows that the performance of prototype 4 is lower than that of prototype 10.Figure4 compares the evaluation data line diagrams and design standard line diagrams of No. 4 prototype and No. 10 experimental prototype. BothX4 andX10 are generally close to the design standard lineX0. It can be found thatX10 is closer toX0 thanX4. Therefore, it can be judged that the gray correlation degree of the 10th prototype is higher than that of the 4th prototype. In addition, the 4th evaluation indicator ofX4 did not reach theX0 design standard value. Therefore, the design scheme of the mechanical characteristics of the No. 4 prototype was eliminated, and No. 10 sample data was selected. It should be pointed out that all reliability indexes that are lower than the design standards are considered to be unqualified prototypes.It is worth noting that samples with a low degree of gray correlation do not imply a low level of product reliability. Observe the reliability index evaluation data line chart of the five test prototypes of No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12, as shown in Figure5.Figure 5
Data line of reliability index of different test samples.For Figure5, the evaluation data sequence lines of the five kinds of test prototypes are all higher than the design standard data sequence lineX0. The evaluation index is not lower than the preferred sample X10. However, by carefully comparing the order of the gray correlations, it can be seen that, except for the prototype 10, none of the remaining four prototypes has a high degree of gray correlation with the prototype 10th. However, the specifications of these four prototypes also meet the design requirements. The degree of gray correlation is determined by the proximity of the distance, so it can be determined that the overall proximity of the four prototypes is poor. There are few experimental prototypes that fully comply with the design standards. Therefore, as far as possible to meet the design criteria, we should try to find an experimental prototype with high data correlation with the product reliability design standard. The product mechanical characteristics module adopts the design scheme of No. 10 test sample.


### 4.2. Gray Relational Analysis of Glass Substrate Characteristic Modules

Analyze the evaluation result of the reliability index of the glass substrate characteristic module. The sequence of glass characteristic behavior indicators of 12 sets of samples was obtained as follows:(25)X1=8.3,7.2,6.9,7.4X2=8.3,6.8,7.2,7.8X3=7.7,7.1,7.7,7.6X4=7.9,7.1,7.3,7.2X5=8.7,7.1,7.4,7.2X6=8.1,7.4,7.6,7.7X7=8.2,7.1,7.1,7.3X8=8.0,7.2,7.6,7.8X9=8.2,7.4,7.7,7.4X10=8.5,7.4,7.0,7.4X11=8.5,7.8,7.2,7.7X12=7.7,7.4,7.9,7.5The calculation method is the same as the 3.1 glass airtight property module. The results of the gray correlation obtained are shown in Table5.(26)δ=γ07,γ011,γ01,γ05,γ010,γ09,γ06,γ08,γ012,γ03,γ04,γ02Table 5

In the glass substrate performance module reliability test, the test results of No. 7 test sample in the 12 groups of test prototypes are the most in line with the design standards. According to the results of gray relational degree, like the glass airtightness module, we need to compare the gray relational degree in the glass substrate module. The largest two test samples in the correlation degree series are compared and analyzed. Draw glass substrate characteristic module evaluation index coefficient data chart, as shown in Figure 6.Figure 6
No. 7 and No. 11 test samples reliability index data chart.From Figure6, we can see that, compared with No. 11 sample No. 7, X7 is closer to the standard sample X0. From this, it can be confirmed that the characteristics of No. 7 prototype in the glass substrate characteristic module are more in line with design requirements.


### 4.3. Glass Support Selection

The design and placement of the two tempered glass supports are the key to toughening the whole vacuum glass. The excessive contact area between the support and the tempered glass will increase the thermal conductivity and affect the thermal insulation performance of the glass. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the total number of supports and the volume of individual supports. However, if the contact area of the support is too small, a concentrated load will be formed under the influence of atmospheric pressure. As a result, the tensile stress of the tempered glass panel above the support is increased, and the glass surface is easily damaged, which affects the service life. It can be seen that the arrangement of tempered vacuum glass supports will directly affect the overall deformation and stress distribution of the glass. The choice of support module is particularly important.The choice of the support location is different from the analysis method used by the first two modules. Because the analysis of the previous two modules is based on the analysis of each component as a whole. The reliability index is a reflection of the different reflections of each parameter. Using the gray correlation analysis method is conducive to analyzing the optimal components. In contrast, the optimization of key parts is independent of each other. Supports play an extremely important role in the overall service environment of tempered glass and need to be individually designed or customized.The reliability evaluation indicators and parameters of the support of the existing 12 sets of prototypes are analyzed. In combination with the assessment results of reliability indicators, the 12 groups of behavioral indicators are as follows:(27)X1=7.3,8.5,6.2,6.7,8.8X2=7.6,8.7,6.6,6.7,8.7X3=6.9,8.5,6.6,6.5,8.2X4=7.2,8.2,6.7,6.4,7.9X5=7.2,8.3,6.2,6.1,8.9X6=7.2,7.6,6.8,6.4,8.4X7=7.2,8.7,6.0,6.9,8.5X8=6.3,8.4,6.9,6.5,8.3X9=7.6,7.9,6.3,6.2,7.8X10=7.2,7.8,6.2,6.6,7.8X11=7.1,8.2,6.2,6.4,8.0X12=7.3,8.2,6.4,6.5,7.9The 12 sets of support parts of the module reliability evaluation data for difference processing obtained difference data sequence formula.(28)Δik=x0k-xik(29)Δi=Δi1,Δi2,⋯,Δik,⋯,ΔinThe above-described 12 sets of difference sequences are included in the following difference matrixM:(30)M=0.30.50.20.70.80.60.70.60.70.70.10.50.60.50.2⋮⋮⋮⋮⋮0.30.20.40.50.1Each column of the matrixM is composed of the difference between the reliability test values of the 12 groups of key indicators and the design criteria. Obtain 12 groups of the most similar sample data of reliability index parameters and design standards. According to the minimum difference of each column, find the optimal prototype for each parameter index in the preferred module corresponding to the support site, Table 6.Table 6

Based on the preferred results of the tempered vacuum glass support, the strength data provided by the test sample No. 11 can be selected at the strength properties. The distance between the three test prototypes provided by No. 4, No. 11, and No. 12 can be used as the spacing. The size of the support can be sample size 7 data. Material selection can be reasonably selected based on the information provided in sample data No. 5.


## 4.1. Gray Relational Analysis of Glass Airtightness Module

The results were evaluated based on the reliability index of the glass seal parameters, the sequence of behaviors of the 12 groups of prototypes is as follows:(17)X1=8.7,6.8,9.1,8.8,8.5,7.6X2=8.3,7.2,9.2,9.4,8.7,7.1X3=7.9,7.1,9.3,9.3,7.9,7.3X4=8.3,7.4,9.2,8.8,8.2,7.2X5=8.6,7.7,9.7,9.2,8.1,7.7X6=8.3,7.8,9.7,9.6,7.3,7.6X7=8.9,7.0,9.3,8.4,7.6,6.7X8=8.7,7.3,9.7,9.8,8.1,6.8X9=8.3,7.1,9.0,9.9,8.7,7.4X10=8.6,7.3,9.1,9.1,8.2,7.3X11=8.2,7.8,9.1,9.5,8.1,7.3X12=8.3,7.2,9.6,9.0,8.4,7.2Before performing the gray correlation analysis, the interval operator Z is first quoted according to formula (3) and formula (4). The 13 groups of behavioral feature sequences are interval-valued. Obtain the interval-valued data sequence (reserve 2 significant digits). Record them as X0′, X1′, X2′,...,X10′ as follows: (18)X0′=0.67,0.33,1.00,1.00,0.67,0.33X1′=0.86,0.21,0.93,0.90,0.79,0.48X2′=0.61,0.21,1.00,1.00,0.75,0.18X3′=0.50,0.21,1.00,1.00,0.50,0.29X4′=0.68,0.36,1.00,0.86,0.64,0.29X5′=0.69,0.44,1.00,0.86,0.56,0.44X6′=0.58,0.42,1.00,0.97,0.27,0.36X7′=0.88,0.30,1.00,0.73,0.48,0.21X8′=0.69,0.29,0.97,1.00,0.51,0.14X9′=0.57,0.24,0.76,1.00,0.95,0.32X10′=0.73,0.33,0.88,1.00,0.61,0.33X11′=0.61,0.48,0.88,1.00,0.58,0.33X12′=0.59,0.25,1.00,0.81,0.63,0.25The results of the compartmentalization are sorted out, and 13 new sequences are listed. According to formula (5) and formula (6), the difference data sequence is obtained. (19)Δ1=0.19,0.12,0.00,0.10,0.12,0.15Δ2=0.06,0.12,0.07,0.00,0.08,0.15Δ3=0.17,0.12,0.00,0.00,0.17,0.04Δ4=0.01,0.03,0.00,0.14,0.03,0.04Δ5=0.02,0.11,0.00,0.14,0.11,0.11Δ6=0.09,0.09,0.00,0.03,0.40,0.03Δ7=0.21,0.03,0.00,0.27,0.19,0.12Δ8=0.02,0.04,0.03,0.00,0.16,0.19Δ9=0.10,0.09,0.24,0.00,0.28,0.01Δ10=0.06,0.00,0.12,0.00,0.06,0.00Δ11=0.06,0.15,0.12,0.00,0.09,0.00Δ12=0.08,0.08,0.00,0.19,0.04,0.08According to formula (7) and formula (8) for data retrieval, find out the value of each group. Among them, the results of maximum and minimum of thei-th corresponding Δi sequence are listed in Table 3.Table 3

First, follow calculations according to (9) and (10) and rewrite the formula for the gray correlation coefficient as(20)γ0ik=Δmin+ρΔmaxΔik+ρΔmaxFrom formula (20), the gray correlation coefficient sequence β0i and the gray correlation degree γ0i are derived as follows:(21)β0i=γ0i1,γ0i2,⋯,γ0ik,⋯,γ0in(22)γ0i=1n∑k=1nβ0iThrough the above formula, the coefficient of gray correlation can be calculated.(23)β01=0.51,0.63,1.00,0.67,0.63,0.57β02=0.77,0.63,0.74,1.00,0.71,0.57β03=0.54,0.63,1.00,1.00,0.54,0.63β04=0.95,0.87,1.00,0.59,0.67,0.68β05=0.91,0.65,1.00,0.59,0.65,0.65β06=0.69,0.69,1.00,0.87,0.33,0.87β07=0.49,0.87,1.00,0.43,0.51,0.63β08=0.91,0.83,0.87,1.00,0.56,0.51β09=0.67,0.69,0.45,1.00,0.42,0.95β010=0.77,1.00,0.63,1.00,0.77,1.00β011=0.77,0.57,0.63,1.00,0.69,1.00β012=0.71,0.71,1.00,0.51,0.83,0.71Thus, according to formula (22), the gray correlation degree of each group of sample data is calculated, Table 4.Table 4
Glass hermetic features module gray correlation.
sequence gray relational degree γ 01 0.668 γ 02 0.737 γ 03 0.723 γ 04 0.851 γ 05 0.741 γ 06 0.742 γ 07 0.655 γ 08 0.78 γ 09 0.697 γ 010 0.862 γ 011 0.777 γ 012 0.745The gray correlation degree calculation results are sorted from large to small.(24)δ=γ010,γ04,γ08,γ011,γ012,γ06,γ05,γ02,γ03,γ09,γ01,γ07It can be seen that the correlation betweenγ010 of the 10th group and the behavioral sequenceX0 of the system characteristic index is the largest. In the reliability test of the mechanical characteristic module, the test results of the 10th test prototype in the 12 groups of test prototypes are most in line with the design standards. To visualize the accuracy of the gray correlation analysis. Draw 12 sets of experimental prototype reliability assessment data line diagram, Figure 2.Figure 2
Reliability index data line of the glass sealing characteristic module.In order to visually illustrate the accuracy of gray correlation analysis, draw 12 sets of test prototype reliability index assessment data line diagram, shown in Figure2.Figure2 shows that the six reliability indexes of the mechanical characteristic module, respectively, correspond to six coordinate points. According to the gray correlation analysis model, the closeness of the indexesX1,X2, …,X12 andX0 is determined by the closeness of the index values corresponding to the six points with the standard values. The correlation between the corresponding 12 experimental prototype serial lines and the standard data sequence lineX0 in Figure 2 is consistent with the analysis trend of point correlation method. The gray correlation coefficient sequences of the 9th and 4th experimental prototypes with higher gray correlation were compared, Figures 3 and 4.Figure 3
Gray correlation coefficient data lines of test prototype No. 4 and No. 10.Figure 4
No. 4 and No. 10 test prototype reliability index data line.As can be seen in Figure3, the gray correlation coefficients of β010 and β04 are distributed between 0.55 and 1.0. If 0.7 is taken as the reference line, then there are 5 index values of No. 10 test prototype to meet the requirements. No. 4 test prototype has three. If 0.9 is used as a baseline, then 3 indicators are satisfied in prototype 10, while the 4th prototype has only 2 indicators. The analysis shows that the performance of prototype 4 is lower than that of prototype 10.Figure4 compares the evaluation data line diagrams and design standard line diagrams of No. 4 prototype and No. 10 experimental prototype. BothX4 andX10 are generally close to the design standard lineX0. It can be found thatX10 is closer toX0 thanX4. Therefore, it can be judged that the gray correlation degree of the 10th prototype is higher than that of the 4th prototype. In addition, the 4th evaluation indicator ofX4 did not reach theX0 design standard value. Therefore, the design scheme of the mechanical characteristics of the No. 4 prototype was eliminated, and No. 10 sample data was selected. It should be pointed out that all reliability indexes that are lower than the design standards are considered to be unqualified prototypes.It is worth noting that samples with a low degree of gray correlation do not imply a low level of product reliability. Observe the reliability index evaluation data line chart of the five test prototypes of No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12, as shown in Figure5.Figure 5
Data line of reliability index of different test samples.For Figure5, the evaluation data sequence lines of the five kinds of test prototypes are all higher than the design standard data sequence lineX0. The evaluation index is not lower than the preferred sample X10. However, by carefully comparing the order of the gray correlations, it can be seen that, except for the prototype 10, none of the remaining four prototypes has a high degree of gray correlation with the prototype 10th. However, the specifications of these four prototypes also meet the design requirements. The degree of gray correlation is determined by the proximity of the distance, so it can be determined that the overall proximity of the four prototypes is poor. There are few experimental prototypes that fully comply with the design standards. Therefore, as far as possible to meet the design criteria, we should try to find an experimental prototype with high data correlation with the product reliability design standard. The product mechanical characteristics module adopts the design scheme of No. 10 test sample.


## 4.2. Gray Relational Analysis of Glass Substrate Characteristic Modules

Analyze the evaluation result of the reliability index of the glass substrate characteristic module. The sequence of glass characteristic behavior indicators of 12 sets of samples was obtained as follows:(25)X1=8.3,7.2,6.9,7.4X2=8.3,6.8,7.2,7.8X3=7.7,7.1,7.7,7.6X4=7.9,7.1,7.3,7.2X5=8.7,7.1,7.4,7.2X6=8.1,7.4,7.6,7.7X7=8.2,7.1,7.1,7.3X8=8.0,7.2,7.6,7.8X9=8.2,7.4,7.7,7.4X10=8.5,7.4,7.0,7.4X11=8.5,7.8,7.2,7.7X12=7.7,7.4,7.9,7.5The calculation method is the same as the 3.1 glass airtight property module. The results of the gray correlation obtained are shown in Table5.(26)δ=γ07,γ011,γ01,γ05,γ010,γ09,γ06,γ08,γ012,γ03,γ04,γ02Table 5

In the glass substrate performance module reliability test, the test results of No. 7 test sample in the 12 groups of test prototypes are the most in line with the design standards. According to the results of gray relational degree, like the glass airtightness module, we need to compare the gray relational degree in the glass substrate module. The largest two test samples in the correlation degree series are compared and analyzed. Draw glass substrate characteristic module evaluation index coefficient data chart, as shown in Figure 6.Figure 6
No. 7 and No. 11 test samples reliability index data chart.From Figure6, we can see that, compared with No. 11 sample No. 7, X7 is closer to the standard sample X0. From this, it can be confirmed that the characteristics of No. 7 prototype in the glass substrate characteristic module are more in line with design requirements.


## 4.3. Glass Support Selection

The design and placement of the two tempered glass supports are the key to toughening the whole vacuum glass. The excessive contact area between the support and the tempered glass will increase the thermal conductivity and affect the thermal insulation performance of the glass. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the total number of supports and the volume of individual supports. However, if the contact area of the support is too small, a concentrated load will be formed under the influence of atmospheric pressure. As a result, the tensile stress of the tempered glass panel above the support is increased, and the glass surface is easily damaged, which affects the service life. It can be seen that the arrangement of tempered vacuum glass supports will directly affect the overall deformation and stress distribution of the glass. The choice of support module is particularly important.The choice of the support location is different from the analysis method used by the first two modules. Because the analysis of the previous two modules is based on the analysis of each component as a whole. The reliability index is a reflection of the different reflections of each parameter. Using the gray correlation analysis method is conducive to analyzing the optimal components. In contrast, the optimization of key parts is independent of each other. Supports play an extremely important role in the overall service environment of tempered glass and need to be individually designed or customized.The reliability evaluation indicators and parameters of the support of the existing 12 sets of prototypes are analyzed. In combination with the assessment results of reliability indicators, the 12 groups of behavioral indicators are as follows:(27)X1=7.3,8.5,6.2,6.7,8.8X2=7.6,8.7,6.6,6.7,8.7X3=6.9,8.5,6.6,6.5,8.2X4=7.2,8.2,6.7,6.4,7.9X5=7.2,8.3,6.2,6.1,8.9X6=7.2,7.6,6.8,6.4,8.4X7=7.2,8.7,6.0,6.9,8.5X8=6.3,8.4,6.9,6.5,8.3X9=7.6,7.9,6.3,6.2,7.8X10=7.2,7.8,6.2,6.6,7.8X11=7.1,8.2,6.2,6.4,8.0X12=7.3,8.2,6.4,6.5,7.9The 12 sets of support parts of the module reliability evaluation data for difference processing obtained difference data sequence formula.(28)Δik=x0k-xik(29)Δi=Δi1,Δi2,⋯,Δik,⋯,ΔinThe above-described 12 sets of difference sequences are included in the following difference matrixM:(30)M=0.30.50.20.70.80.60.70.60.70.70.10.50.60.50.2⋮⋮⋮⋮⋮0.30.20.40.50.1Each column of the matrixM is composed of the difference between the reliability test values of the 12 groups of key indicators and the design criteria. Obtain 12 groups of the most similar sample data of reliability index parameters and design standards. According to the minimum difference of each column, find the optimal prototype for each parameter index in the preferred module corresponding to the support site, Table 6.Table 6

Based on the preferred results of the tempered vacuum glass support, the strength data provided by the test sample No. 11 can be selected at the strength properties. The distance between the three test prototypes provided by No. 4, No. 11, and No. 12 can be used as the spacing. The size of the support can be sample size 7 data. Material selection can be reasonably selected based on the information provided in sample data No. 5.


## 5. Reliability Test of Trial Sample of Tempered Vacuum Glass

Combined with the production process of the enterprise, according to the optimized module design scheme, the optimized samples of tempered vacuum glass are produced in small batches. In order to verify the accuracy of the results, a second set of options in the above results was prepared for the sample. The test and evaluation of the reliability index parameters of the two prototypes were carried out. The test results of the trial glass samples are shown in Figure7. Among them,Y1 is the evaluation result of the optimal design scheme andY2 is the second choice design scheme.Figure 7
