Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of substrate glass production, and in particular relates to a substrate glass safety sampling device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the highly automated production system of overflow down-draw glass substrates, ensuring the quality of glass substrates is crucial. As a key link in monitoring the suitability of the process and the operating status of the equipment, the importance of edge plate quality inspection is self-evident. However, in actual operation, this inspection process faces multiple challenges.

[0003] Due to the continuous high-speed flow of glass substrates on the production line, sampling inspection has become a delicate and urgent task. When sampling, operators are not only required to have rich experience and keen judgment to accurately identify tiny defects on the edge panels, but also to complete it quickly so as not to hinder the smooth operation of the production line. However, often, differences in personnel experience and high production rate requirements form an irreconcilable contradiction. Inexperienced operators may be hesitant in identifying defects, while the pursuit of speed may lead to missed inspections or misjudgments, which in turn affects the stability of product quality and production safety.

[0004] In addition, the production environment itself increases the difficulty and danger of operations. High temperatures, high pressures, and potential exposure to chemicals pose health risks to operators when performing sampling and testing tasks. At the same time, frequent entry and exit of the production line may disrupt the production rhythm, increase the risk of equipment failure, and pose a potential threat to production efficiency, product quality, and personnel safety. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems and provide a substrate glass safety sampling device and method, which solves the problems of low sampling efficiency in the substrate glass sampling process, easy board jamming on the production line, poor safety, and easy harm to the sampling personnel.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The invention provides a substrate glass safety sampling device, comprising two clamping jaws, the two clamping jaws are respectively fixed at two ends of a clamping jaw frame, a three-leaf mechanism is arranged at the center of the clamping jaw frame, and the three-leaf mechanism is connected to a locking handle.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that rubber material is provided inside the two clamping jaws.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the three-leaf mechanism is connected to the locking handle via a movable device.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that a spring mechanism is arranged in the middle of the movable device, one end of the spring mechanism is connected to the three-leaf mechanism, and the other end of the spring mechanism is connected to the transverse screw.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the movable device is fixed to the base via a transverse screw.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that a supporting device is provided on the side of the base away from the clamping jaws, and a counterweight device is provided on the bottom of the side of the base away from the clamping jaws.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the locking handle is arranged outside the supporting device.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that wheels are arranged below the base, and four wheels are arranged, and the four wheels are respectively located at front, back, left and right symmetrical positions of the base.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that a brake device is provided above the wheel, and the brake device is located above the rear wheel.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for safely sampling substrate glass, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Move the sampling device to the vicinity of the position of the substrate glass to be sampled; Step 2: Control the clamping jaws by locking the handle to open the clamping jaws, and adjust the clamping jaws to a suitable angle by the three-leaf mechanism, and then gently clamp the edge of the substrate glass; Step 3: After sampling is completed, the clamp is controlled to drive the substrate glass to move to a specified position; Step 4: Control the clamping jaws by locking the handle to open the clamping jaws, release the glass substrate to the position to be tested, and move the sampling device to the next sampling point.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a substrate glass safety sampling device, wherein two clamping claws are respectively fixed at two ends of a clamping claw frame, and this design can ensure that the substrate glass is firmly clamped during the sampling process, thereby reducing safety accidents caused by shaking or slipping. A three-leaf mechanism is arranged in the middle of the clamping claw frame, and the design of the three-leaf mechanism allows the clamping claw frame to have a certain flexibility while maintaining a certain rigidity, which helps to adapt to substrate glasses of different shapes and sizes, and further improves the safety and success rate of sampling. At the same time, the three-leaf mechanism is connected to a locking handle, and the setting of the locking handle enables an operator to easily adjust the opening and closing degree of the clamping claw, thereby quickly and accurately clamping the substrate glass. The locking handle can also fix the position of the clamping claw. Once locked, the clamping claw can firmly clamp the substrate glass. The sampling device of the present invention has the advantages of high sampling efficiency and high safety, and avoids causing harm to the sampling personnel.

[0017] Furthermore, rubber material is provided inside the two clamping jaws. The rubber material has excellent elasticity and buffering properties, which can effectively reduce vibration and impact during the clamping process, making the clamping of the substrate glass by the clamping jaws more stable and reliable. This stability helps to avoid damage to the substrate glass or safety accidents caused by unstable clamping during the sampling process.

[0018] Furthermore, a spring mechanism is arranged in the middle of the movable device, one end of the spring mechanism is connected to the three-leaf mechanism, and the other end of the spring mechanism is connected to the transverse screw. The existence of the spring mechanism enables the movable device to have the ability of automatic adjustment. When the clamping jaws clamp the substrate glass, due to the possible differences in the size, thickness or shape of the substrate glass, the spring mechanism can automatically adjust its length according to the change in clamping force to ensure that the clamping jaws can clamp the substrate glass tightly and evenly. This automatic adjustment capability improves the adaptability and flexibility of the sampling device, enabling it to cope with substrate glasses of different specifications. The combination of the spring mechanism, the three-leaf mechanism and the transverse screw can form a stable clamping system. The three-leaf mechanism provides basic support and rotation flexibility for the clamping jaw frame, while the spring mechanism ensures the stability of the clamping jaw during the clamping process through its elastic force. At the same time, the transverse screw is used to further adjust the clamping force and position of the clamping jaws to achieve more precise sampling operations.

[0019] Furthermore, the movable device is fixed to the base by a transverse screw. By firmly fixing the movable device to the base by the transverse screw, the stability of the entire sampling device can be significantly enhanced. This fixing method can ensure that during the sampling process, the movable device and its components such as the clamping jaws will not be displaced or shaken due to external forces, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the sampling operation; the transverse screw is not only used to fix the movable device, but can also be used as an adjustment mechanism. By rotating the transverse screw, the position of the movable device on the base can be fine-tuned to adapt to substrate glass of different sizes and shapes.

[0020] Furthermore, a supporting device is provided on the side of the base away from the clamping jaws, and a counterweight device is provided on the bottom of the side of the base away from the clamping jaws. The supporting device provides an additional support point for the entire sampling device, which helps to maintain the balance and stability of the device during the sampling process and reduce the risk of shaking or tipping due to the shift of the center of gravity. At the same time, the supporting device can also serve as a safety barrier for the operator to prevent the substrate glass from breaking and causing harm to the operator during the sampling process; the counterweight device helps to move the center of gravity of the sampling device to a more stable position by adjusting the weight distribution of the base, which helps to reduce shaking during the sampling process and improve the sampling accuracy and stability.

[0021] Furthermore, wheels are provided under the base, and there are four wheels. The four wheels are respectively located at symmetrical positions of the front, back, left and right of the base. The addition of wheels makes the sampling device extremely mobile and convenient. The operator can easily push or pull the device and quickly transfer between different work areas or equipment, which greatly improves work efficiency. The four wheels are respectively located at symmetrical positions of the front, back, left and right of the base. This layout helps to maintain the stability of the device during movement. Even on uneven ground or when encountering obstacles, the even distribution of wheels can reduce shaking and tilting, thereby ensuring the safety of the device and the substrate glass.

[0022] Furthermore, a brake device is provided above the wheel. The brake device is located above the rear wheel. The main function of the brake device is to quickly stop the movement of the sampling device when needed. Installing the brake device above the rear wheel can more effectively control the advancement and stopping of the sampling device, especially on slopes or uneven ground. This design helps prevent the sampling device from continuing to slide due to inertia, thereby avoiding potential collision or damage and enhancing the safety of operation.

[0023] The present invention also provides a safe sampling method for substrate glass. The operator can easily move the sampling device to a precise position, and use the locking handle, three-leaf mechanism and clamping claws to achieve gentle clamping and stable transportation of the substrate glass, thereby ensuring the safety and integrity of the substrate glass throughout the entire process. This method not only simplifies the sampling process and improves work efficiency, but also due to its wide adaptability, can cope with the sampling needs of substrate glasses of different shapes and sizes, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sampling process and the reliability of the test results.

The rubber material has excellent elasticity and buffering performance, which can effectively reduce vibration and impact during the clamping process, so that the clamping jaw 1 can clamp the substrate glass more stably and reliably. A three-leaf mechanism 201 is arranged at the center position of the clamping jaw frame 2. The design of the three-leaf mechanism 201 allows the clamping jaw frame 2 to have a certain flexibility while maintaining a certain rigidity, which helps to adapt to substrate glasses of different shapes and sizes, and further improves the safety and success rate of sampling.

This fixing method can ensure that during the sampling process, the movable device and the clamping jaw 1 thereon and other components will not be displaced or shaken due to external forces, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the sampling operation; the transverse screw 6 is not only used to fix the clamping jaw mechanism, but can also be used as an adjustment mechanism. By rotating the transverse screw 6, the position of the movable device on the base 10 can be fine-tuned to adapt to substrate glasses of different sizes and shapes.

[0036] A supporting device 5 is provided on the side of the base 10 away from the clamping jaw 1, and a counterweight device 7 is provided on the bottom of the side of the base 10 away from the clamping jaw 1. The supporting device 5 provides an additional support point for the entire sampling device, which helps to maintain the balance and stability of the device during the sampling process and reduce the risk of shaking or tipping due to the shift of the center of gravity.
