1. A rotary transition section for forming bent glass, comprising:
a main rack; and
an auxiliary rack, wherein a plurality of flexible shaft rollers for forming glass are arranged at intervals on the auxiliary rack in a glass conveying direction, wherein the plurality of flexible shaft rollers are controlled to be curved by a flexible shaft curve forming mechanism arranged on the auxiliary rack, wherein a roller surface formed by the plurality of flexible shaft rollers in a linear state is coplanar with a roller surface in a heating furnace, wherein an end of the auxiliary rack that is closer to the heating furnace is rotatably connected to the main rack, wherein a rotating axis of the auxiliary rack is collinear with a central axis of a first flexible shaft roller of the plurality of flexible shaft rollers in the linear state and is parallel to a roller of the heating furnace, wherein an end of the auxiliary rack that is away from the heating furnace is connected to a traction mechanism arranged on the main rack,
wherein the traction mechanism comprises a motor, a driving wheel, a chain, and a transmission shaft, wherein the motor and the transmission shaft are both mounted to a top of the main rack, wherein the transmission shaft is configured to be driven by the motor to rotate, wherein the driving wheel is mounted to two ends of the transmission shaft, wherein the driving wheel is configured to pull the auxiliary rack up and down through the chain.
