Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a glass boiling and separating device. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-thin flexible glass (UTG) is an ultra-thin glass substrate with a thickness typically between 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm, which achieves the property of being repeatedly bent through physical or chemical treatment.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of ultra-thin flexible glass, in order to solve the processing difficulties caused by its ultra-thin characteristics, multiple pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass are bonded together with UV adhesive to greatly improve structural stability, enabling it to withstand the mechanical stress of cutting equipment and avoid deformation or breakage during processing. Therefore, in subsequent processing, the bonded multiple pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass also need to be separated into individual pieces.

[0004] Currently, the existing ultra-thin flexible glass slitting process mainly uses water boiling slitting, which involves fixing multiple pieces of glass to be slitting in a water tank and heating them in water. The high-temperature liquid drives the interlayer film between the glass pieces to peel off, thus achieving slitting.

[0005] However, in actual production processes, existing technologies are prone to the following drawbacks:

[0006] 1. Since the adhesive film is between the glass panes, it takes a long time to boil it in water to ensure that the adhesive film is completely separated and removed. This process is time-consuming and inefficient. If the boiling time is insufficient, it is difficult for the high-temperature liquid to fully penetrate the adhesive film between the glass panes, which can easily lead to a low removal rate of the adhesive film and a low success rate of separating the glass panes.

[0007] 2. Fragments of adhesive film that detach from the glass surface tend to float on the liquid surface. Therefore, during the sheet-by-sheet material handling process, as each glass sheet passes over the water surface, there is a high probability that the adhesive film floating on the liquid surface will re-adhere to the glass surface, requiring manual secondary cleaning. This process is cumbersome and affects production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved glass boiling and separating device.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0010] A glass boiling and separating device includes a furnace, a carrier, and a heating unit. The furnace includes a furnace body and a furnace cover. The carrier includes an upper frame and a lower frame forming a carrying space. The upper frame is mounted on the furnace cover, and the lower frame is rotated and installed in the furnace body. Based on the rotation of the lower frame, the upper frame floats relative to the lower frame while maintaining the carrying space unchanged. Multiple glass pieces are placed in the carrying space and float between the upper and lower frames as the liquid in the furnace boils. The glass boiling and separating device also includes a floating object collection unit, which includes a partition and a floating object retrieval mechanism disposed in the furnace body. The partition divides the furnace body into a heating chamber and a retrieval chamber, and the liquid in the furnace body overflows from the top of the partition from the heating chamber to the retrieval chamber. The floating object retrieval mechanism includes a floating object collection basket disposed in the retrieval chamber, a retrieval claw that moves along the overflow direction, and a retrieval power component.

[0011] According to a specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, in the orthographic projection on the horizontal plane, the extension lines of the adjacent two sides of each glass unit placed in the support space intersect with the rotation center line of the lower frame and form a triangle. Here, when the lower frame rotates and swings, the movement trajectory formed by the glass rotating up and down is approximately a three-dimensional cone, effectively expanding the disturbance range of the liquid in the furnace, thereby achieving rapid and sufficient heating of each layer of adhesive film as the glass floats up and down, and improving the delamination rate of the adhesive film.

[0012] Preferably, the angle bisector of the angle opposite to the flip center line in the triangle is perpendicular to the flip center line.

[0013] Preferably, the lower frame includes a tilting frame plate rotatably connected to the furnace body around a horizontal center line, multiple positioning columns arranged on the tilting frame plate and spaced around the glass, and a tilting power component that drives the tilting frame plate to tilt up and down.

[0014] Specifically, the system is divided into four positioning groups corresponding to the four sides of the glass by multiple positioning posts, with the length of each positioning post in at least one positioning group being greater than the length of each positioning post in the other positioning groups. Here, the arrangement of long and short positioning posts can guide the movement of the glass when picking up and placing it, thereby improving the picking and placing accuracy of the robot.

[0015] Preferably, the tilting power component includes a motor mounted on the top of the furnace body, a drive wheel fixedly mounted on the motor output shaft, and a connecting shaft rotatably connected between the drive wheel and the tilting frame plate, wherein the axis of rotation of the connecting shaft is misaligned with the axis of rotation of the motor output shaft. This design is simple and easy to install and implement.

[0016] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the upper frame includes a connecting rod fixedly connected to the furnace cover and multiple floating rods disposed on the connecting rod. When the furnace cover is closed, each floating rod extends vertically and floats up and down as the lower frame is rotated. Here, the upper and lower frames can be coordinated to form a carrying space or the carrying space can be opened to allow glass to be placed or removed synchronously with the opening and closing of the furnace cover, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0017] Preferably, the multiple floating frame rods are divided into multiple floating groups that are arranged side by side at intervals along the direction perpendicular to the center line of the lower frame's flipping, wherein the multiple floating frame rods in each floating group are arranged side by side at intervals along the center line of the lower frame's flipping.

[0018] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, the carrier further includes suction cups fixedly disposed on the lower frame and located within the bearing space, wherein the suction cups form an adsorption surface from their upper surfaces, and during placement, the bottom layer of glass among the multiple glass pieces is adsorbed onto the adsorption surface. Here, since the ultra-thin glass is stacked between two layers of thick glass plates to form a protective layer before placement, during boiling, the bottom suction cups adsorb and position the bottom thick glass plate to prevent the bottom glass plate from floating synchronously with the ultra-thin glass and randomly colliding, thus preventing damage to the ultra-thin glass.

[0019] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, the partition is bent from the top toward the retrieval chamber to form a first bend; the furnace cover is bent downward from one side to form a second bend. When the furnace cover is closed, the second bend and the first bend are spaced apart vertically to form an overflow port, through which liquid in the heating chamber overflows into the retrieval chamber. This effectively reduces heat loss from the heating chamber, ensuring stable liquid temperature. Simultaneously, by matching the inflow rate and the overflow rate, the liquid level in the heating chamber is higher than the overflow port, allowing for rapid liquid discharge when the furnace cover is opened, thus quickly flushing floating debris towards the retrieval chamber.

[0020] Preferably, the floating debris collection basket is open from the top, with the end of the first bend away from the heating chamber located directly above the opening at the top of the basket. This ensures accurate collection of floating debris.

[0021] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the retrieval claw includes a claw body and multiple claw hooks arranged side by side at intervals along the width direction of the partition. When the furnace cover is opened, as the retrieval power unit drives the claw body to move along the overflow direction, the multiple claw hooks move gradually along the side wall and top surface of the partition to retrieve the floating objects from the heating chamber to the floating object collection basket.

[0022] Preferably, the salvage power unit includes a traversing module mounted on the top of the furnace body for driving the salvage claw to reciprocate between the heating chamber and the salvage chamber, and a lifting module for driving the salvage claw to move up and down.

[0023] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, the heating unit is disposed within the heating chamber and located below the lower frame. The furnace body also includes a filter screen disposed between the lower frame and the heating unit to intercept glass fragments. This prevents the accumulation of fragments caused by accidental glass breakage, facilitates cleaning, and improves the safety of equipment operation.

[0024] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the glass boiling and separating device further includes a liquid circulation pipeline, which includes an inlet pipe communicating with the bottom of the heating chamber, an outlet pipe communicating with the bottom of the retrieval chamber, a circulation pipeline connecting the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, and a circulation pump.

[0025] In addition, the glass boiling and separating machine also includes a steam recovery pipeline, which consists of a steam recovery pipe that is set around the top edge of the furnace body and forms steam suction holes from the side wall, and a suction pipe connected to the steam recovery pipe. This reduces the amount of steam above the liquid surface, making it easier for operators to observe.

[0026] Due to the application of the above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0027] In existing technologies, because the adhesive film is located between the glass panes, a long boiling time is required to ensure complete separation and detachment. This process is time-consuming and inefficient. If the boiling time is insufficient, the high-temperature liquid cannot fully penetrate the adhesive film between the glass panes, leading to a low removal rate and a low success rate in separating the glass panes. Furthermore, adhesive film fragments detached from the glass surface tend to float on the liquid surface. Therefore, during the separation process, as each glass pane passes over the water surface, the probability of the adhesive film re-adhering to the glass surface is high, requiring manual secondary cleaning, which is cumbersome and affects production efficiency. This application addresses these shortcomings by redesigning the structure of the glass boiling separator, cleverly resolving the deficiencies of existing technologies. Using this separator, the furnace lid is opened, multiple laminated glass panes are placed on the lower frame, and the lower frame is flipped downwards to immerse the glass in the liquid inside the furnace, heating the liquid and maintaining it at a boiling state. Closing the furnace lid allows the upper and lower frames to cooperate and form a carrying space for the multiple glass panes. The glass frame is placed within the support space. Then, based on the flipping motion of the lower frame, the upper frame floats relative to the lower frame while maintaining the support space unchanged. Multiple pieces of glass float between the upper and lower frames as the liquid in the furnace boils. This utilizes the fluid movement created by the liquid disturbance to increase the probability that the high-temperature liquid can smoothly penetrate between the glass pieces, decompose the interlayer film, and allow the film to float on the water surface. This enhances the penetration and decomposition of the interlayer film, accelerates the separation of the glass, and suspends it within the support space. When the boiling process time is reached, based on the floating adjustment of the upper frame, the lower frame flips upward to gradually remove the glass from the water surface. Then, the furnace lid is opened to remove the separated glass pieces one by one. When cleaning floating objects on the liquid surface, the furnace lid is kept open, and the lower frame is flipped downward to create clearance. The furnace cavity is divided into a heating chamber and a retrieval chamber by a partition. Based on the overflow of liquid from the heating chamber to the retrieval chamber, the retrieval claw moves along the overflow direction to retrieve the floating objects from the heating chamber to the floating object collection basket located in the retrieval chamber. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention, on the one hand, uses the cooperation of the upper and lower frames to place the glass frame in the carrying space, and based on the floating of the upper frame and the flipping movement of the lower frame, the glass floats up and down synchronously with the boiling of the liquid in the furnace during the boiling process, ensuring the penetration and decomposition of the interlayer film of the liquid in the furnace, effectively improving the success rate of glass slicing; on the other hand, based on the overflow of the liquid in the furnace from the heating chamber to the retrieval chamber, and the retrieval claw retrieval along the overflow direction, the floating objects on the liquid surface in the furnace are retrieved and collected, effectively reducing the floating objects on the liquid surface, so as to significantly reduce the probability of floating objects re-attaching to the glass surface during the slicing and material handling.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the glass boiling and separating device of this embodiment includes a furnace 1, a carrier 2, a heating unit 3, a floating object collection unit 4, a liquid circulation pipeline 5, and a steam recovery pipeline 6.

[0042] Specifically, the furnace 1 includes a furnace body 10 and a furnace cover 11, wherein the furnace cover 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the furnace body 10, and a telescopic cylinder 110 is connected between the furnace cover 11 and the furnace body 10. The telescopic cylinder 110 drives the furnace cover 11 to flip up and down to open or close the furnace body 10 based on the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder 110 in the vertical direction.

[0043] In this example, the carrier 2 includes an upper frame 20 and a lower frame 21 that form a bearing space q0. The upper frame 20 is mounted on the furnace cover 11, and the lower frame 21 is rotated and installed inside the furnace body 10 around the horizontal direction. Based on the rotation of the lower frame 21, the upper frame 20 floats and adjusts relative to the lower frame 21 while keeping the bearing space q0 unchanged. Multiple glass B frames are placed in the bearing space q0 and float between the upper and lower frames as the liquid in the furnace body 10 boils.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the upper frame 20 includes a connecting rod 200 fixedly connected to the furnace cover 11 and multiple floating rods 201 disposed on the connecting rod 200. When the furnace cover 11 is closed, each floating rod 201 extends vertically and floats up and down as the lower frame 21 is rotated. Here, the upper and lower frames can be coordinated to form a carrying space or open the carrying space to facilitate the loading and unloading of glass in sync with the opening and closing of the furnace cover, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0045] Multiple floating support poles 201 are divided into multiple floating groups that are arranged side by side at intervals along the direction perpendicular to the flipping center line of the lower frame 21. In each floating group, multiple floating support poles 201 are arranged side by side at intervals along the flipping center line of the lower frame 21. Each floating support pole 201 adopts a conventional telescopic pole.

[0046] To accommodate different sizes of glass, the connecting rod 200 has an adjustment groove that extends along the arrangement direction of the floating rods 201 in each floating group. Each floating rod 201 can move along the adjustment groove to adjust the spacing between adjacent floating rods 201.

[0047] In this example, the lower frame 21 includes a tilting frame plate 210 rotatably connected to the furnace body 10 around a horizontal center line, multiple positioning columns 211 arranged on the tilting frame plate 210 and spaced around the glass B, and a tilting power component 212 that drives the tilting frame plate 210 to tilt up and down. The glass B frame is placed on the tilting frame plate 210 and positioned between the multiple positioning columns 211. As the furnace cover 11 closes, multiple floating frame rods 201 are inserted between the multiple positioning columns 211 and form a bearing space q0 between the positioning columns 211 and the tilting frame plate 210.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the multiple positioning posts 211 are divided into four positioning groups corresponding to the four sides of the glass B, wherein the length of each positioning post 211 in at least one positioning group is greater than the length of each positioning post 211 in the other positioning groups. Here, by arranging the positioning posts of different lengths, the movement of the glass can be guided when picking up and placing the glass, thereby improving the picking and placing accuracy of the robot arm.

[0049] The tilting power unit 212 includes a motor a0 mounted on the top of the furnace body 10, a drive wheel a1 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor a0, and a connecting shaft a2 rotatably connected between the drive wheel a1 and the tilting frame 210, wherein the axis of rotation of the connecting shaft a2 is misaligned with the axis of rotation of the drive wheel a1 and the axis of rotation of the motor a0.

[0050] To further facilitate implementation, in the orthographic projection on the horizontal plane, the extension lines of the adjacent two sides of each glass B placed in the bearing space q0 intersect with the flipping center line of the lower frame 21, forming a triangle. Here, when the lower frame flips and swings, the movement trajectory formed by the glass flipping up and down is roughly a three-dimensional cone, effectively expanding the disturbance range of the liquid in the furnace, thereby achieving rapid and sufficient heating of each layer of adhesive film during the up-and-down floating of the glass, and improving the film detachment rate.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the angle bisector of the triangle formed, which is opposite to the flipping center line of the lower frame 21, is perpendicular to the flipping center line of the lower frame 21. The flipping frame plate 210 can be set as a rectangle, with each side parallel to the corresponding side of the glass B.

[0052] In this embodiment, the carrier 2 also includes suction cups 22 fixedly mounted on the flipping frame plate 210 and located within the bearing space q0. The suction cups 22 form an adsorption surface from their upper surfaces. During placement, the bottom layer of glass among the multiple glass pieces is adsorbed onto this adsorption surface. Here, since the ultra-thin glass is stacked between two thick glass plates for protection before placement, during boiling, the bottom suction cups adsorb and position the bottom thick glass plate to prevent it from randomly colliding with the ultra-thin glass due to synchronous floating, thus preventing damage to the ultra-thin glass.

[0053] The flip-up frame plate 210 is provided with multiple layers of connection holes distributed from the inside out. The corresponding suction cups 22 are installed according to the actual glass size, and multiple positioning posts 211 are fixedly installed on the flip-up frame plate 210 around the suction cups 22. The suction cups 22 are conventional micro-perforated suction cups.

[0054] In this example, the heating unit 3 includes two thermocouples 30 arranged side-by-side and spaced apart within the heating chamber q1 and located below the lower frame 21. The furnace body 10 also includes a filter w positioned between the lower frame 21 and the heating unit 3 to intercept glass fragments. This prevents the accumulation of fragments caused by accidental glass breakage, facilitates cleaning, and improves the safety of equipment operation.

[0055] In this example, the floating object collection unit 4 includes a partition 40 and a floating object retrieval mechanism 41 disposed inside the furnace body 10. The partition 40 divides the inner cavity of the furnace body 10 into a heating chamber q1 and a retrieval chamber q2, and the liquid inside the furnace body 10 overflows from the top of the partition 40 from the heating chamber q1 to the retrieval chamber q2. The floating object retrieval mechanism 41 includes a floating object collection basket 410 disposed in the retrieval chamber q2, a retrieval claw 411 that moves along the overflow direction, and a retrieval power component 412.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the partition 40 bends from the top toward the retrieval chamber q2 to form a first bend b1; the furnace cover 11 bends downward from the side closest to the retrieval chamber q2 to form a second bend b2. When the furnace cover 11 is closed, the second bend b2 and the first bend b1 are spaced apart vertically to form an overflow port, and the liquid in the heating chamber q1 overflows from the overflow port into the retrieval chamber q2. Here, the heat overflow in the heating chamber is effectively reduced, ensuring the stability of the liquid temperature; at the same time, by matching the liquid inlet rate and the overflow rate, the liquid level in the heating chamber is made higher than the overflow port, so that when the furnace cover is opened, the liquid is quickly discharged to quickly flush the floating objects on the liquid surface toward the retrieval chamber.

[0057] The floating object collection basket 410 is a conventional top-opening, side-wall-and-bottom-perforated collection basket. The end of the first bend b1 away from the heating chamber q1 is located directly above the top opening of the floating object collection basket 410. This ensures accurate collection of floating objects.

[0058] The retrieval claw 411 includes a claw body c0 and multiple claw hooks c1 arranged side by side at intervals along the width direction of the partition 40. When the furnace cover 11 is opened, as the retrieval power unit 412 drives the claw body c0 to move along the overflow direction, the multiple claw hooks c1 move gradually along the side wall and top surface of the partition 40 to retrieve the floating objects from the heating chamber q1 to the floating object collection basket 410.

[0059] The salvage power unit 412 includes a transverse module d0 mounted on the top of the furnace body 10 and used to drive the salvage claw 411 to reciprocate transversely between the heating chamber q1 and the salvage chamber q2, and a lifting module d1 that drives the salvage claw 411 to move up and down. The transverse module d0 includes a conventional transverse track and a transverse seat slidably mounted on the transverse track. The lifting module d1 is mounted on the transverse seat and uses a conventional lifting cylinder. The salvage claw 411 is connected to the bottom lifting end of the lifting module d1.

[0060] In this example, the liquid circulation pipeline 5 includes an inlet pipe 50 connected to the bottom of the heating chamber q1, an outlet pipe 51 connected to the bottom of the salvage chamber q2, a circulation pipe 52 connecting the inlet pipe 50 and the outlet pipe 51, and a circulation pump 53. The liquid circulation pipeline 5 enables the circulation of liquid within the furnace between the heating chamber q1 and the salvage chamber q2. In some specific embodiments, the liquid circulation pipeline 5 also includes a replenishment pipe to replenish the liquid lost during the boiling process within the furnace, ensuring a stable liquid level within the furnace.

[0061] In addition, the steam recovery pipeline 6 includes a steam recovery pipe 60 arranged around the top edge of the furnace body 10 and forming steam suction holes k from the side wall, a suction pipe 61 connected to the steam recovery pipe 60, and a suction device connected to the suction pipe 61. Here, the amount of steam above the liquid surface is reduced, making it easier for staff to observe.

[0062] In summary, after adopting this glass boiling separator, the furnace lid is opened, and multiple laminated glass pieces are placed on the lower frame. The lower frame is then flipped downwards to immerse the glass in the liquid inside the furnace, heating the liquid and maintaining it at a boil. The furnace lid is then closed, allowing the upper and lower frames to cooperate and form a support space within which the multiple glass pieces are placed. Based on the flipping motion of the lower frame, the upper frame floats relative to the lower frame while maintaining a constant support space. The multiple glass pieces float between the upper and lower frames as the liquid inside the furnace boils, utilizing the fluid movement created by the liquid disturbance to facilitate the high-temperature liquid's penetration into the spaces between the glass pieces, decomposing and expelling the adhesive film. By increasing the probability of the glass floating on the water surface, the penetration and decomposition of the interlayer film between the glass are improved, accelerating the separation of the glass and suspending it in the bearing space. When the boiling process is completed, based on the floating adjustment of the upper frame, the lower frame flips upward to gradually remove the glass from the water surface. Then, the furnace cover is opened to remove the glass pieces one by one after the separation is completed. When cleaning the floating objects on the liquid surface, the furnace cover is kept open and the lower frame is flipped downward to form a clearance. The inner cavity of the furnace is divided into a heating chamber and a retrieval chamber by a partition. Based on the overflow of liquid in the furnace from the heating chamber to the retrieval chamber, the retrieval claw moves along the overflow direction to retrieve the floating objects from the heating chamber to the floating object collection basket located in the retrieval chamber.Therefore, compared with the prior art, this invention has several advantages. First, by coordinating the upper and lower frames to place the glass frame within the carrying space, and by using the floating of the upper frame and the flipping motion of the lower frame to ensure that the glass floats up and down synchronously with the boiling of the liquid in the furnace during the boiling process, the liquid in the furnace can penetrate and decompose the interlayer film between the glass, effectively improving the success rate of glass slicing. Second, based on the overflow of the liquid in the furnace from the heating chamber to the retrieval chamber, and the retrieval claws retrieval along the overflow direction, floating objects on the surface of the liquid in the furnace are retrieved and collected, effectively reducing the number of floating objects on the liquid surface and significantly reducing the probability of floating objects re-attaching to the glass surface during slicing and material handling. Third, when the lower frame flips and swings, the glass flips up and down, and the resulting motion trajectory is roughly a three-dimensional cone, effectively expanding the disturbance range of the liquid in the furnace, thereby achieving rapid and sufficient heating of each layer of interlayer film during the up-and-down floating of the glass, improving the film detachment rate. Fourth, through the layout of long and short positioning columns, the glass can be moved and handled during loading and unloading. The system provides guidance and improves the accuracy of the robotic arm in picking up and placing materials. Fifthly, it allows the upper and lower frames to work together to form a carrying space or open the carrying space simultaneously with the opening and closing of the furnace lid, making glass picking and placing simple and convenient. Sixthly, before material placement, ultra-thin glass is stacked between two layers of thick glass for protection. During boiling, the bottom suction cups adhere to and position the bottom thick glass plate, preventing it from colliding with the ultra-thin glass due to synchronous floating, thus preventing damage. Seventhly, the coordination of the first and second bends effectively reduces heat overflow from the heating chamber, ensuring stable liquid temperature. Simultaneously, by matching the inlet and overflow rates, the liquid level in the heating chamber is higher than the overflow port, allowing for rapid liquid discharge when the furnace lid is opened, quickly flushing floating debris towards the retrieval chamber. Eighthly, a filter screen below the carrier prevents the accumulation of glass fragments caused by accidental breakage, facilitating cleaning and improving equipment safety.

[0063] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
