Technical Field

[0002] In the glass deep processing industry, there are currently two types of cleaning equipment. One is a flat-plate cleaning machine, which can only clean flat glass but cannot clean curved glass; the other is a trough cleaning machine, which can clean both flat and curved glass. However, this type of cleaning machine requires a tunnel furnace for drying, which requires the tunnel furnace to be filled with high-temperature gas to dry the glass. For this purpose, a high-power fan and a matching hot air blower are required, which makes the entire set of equipment consume a lot of energy.

[0003] The curved glass industry's demand for glass is changing with each passing day. The glass deep processing industry needs to meet users' requirements for complex glass shapes with different curvatures. If a trough-type cleaning machine is to clean glass with large differences in shape, each type of glass needs to be equipped with a set of dedicated fixtures, which increases inventory management costs. Therefore, we have proposed a 3D curved glass cleaning system. Summary of the Invention

[0059] When the system is running, there can be several flexible glass jigs 1 at the same time, and several 3D curved glasses can be fixed on the flexible glass jigs 1 and cleaned at the same time.

[0060] The mechanism for driving the flexible glass jig 1 to move in the cleaning section 2 and the air-drying section 3 can be set at the bottom of the flexible glass jig 1, and the movement of the flexible glass jig 1 can be achieved by installing a motor and a power wheel; or a conveyor belt can be installed at the bottom of the shell of the cleaning section 2 and the air-drying section 3, thereby driving the flexible glass jig 1 to move in the cleaning section 2 and the air-drying section 3.

[0061] It can be understood that during the overall operation of the device, the 3D curved glass is transported by the transfer device 4 and placed in the flexible glass jig 1. The flexible glass jig 1 fixes the 3D curved glass to prevent incomplete cleaning caused by the displacement of the 3D curved glass during the cleaning and drying process; the flexible glass jig 1 loads the 3D curved glass into the cleaning section 2 and the air-drying section 3 in turn. After the 3D curved glass is washed with water and air-dried, the 3D curved glass is removed from the flexible glass jig 1 by the transfer device 4 for transfer and transportation.

[0067] The glass support rod 133 can translate along the y-axis direction to avoid blocking the first blocking rod 123 and the second blocking rod 125 . The glass support rod 133 is used to fix the height of the 3D curved glass.

[0068] A drainage hole 111 is provided at the bottom of the fixture housing 11 , and the drainage hole 111 is used to discharge the cleaning water that enters the interior of the fixture housing 11 when the flexible glass fixture 1 passes through the cleaning section 2 .

[0069] It can be understood that when fixing the 3D curved glass, the fixture housing 11 is made of 304 stainless steel, the outer boundary size of the fixture housing 11 is L*W*H=600mm*420mm*220mm, the interior is hollowed out, the thickness of the upper half of the fixture housing 11 is 2mm, the height is 100mm, the height of the lower half of the fixture housing 11 is 100mm, and three groups of clamping components 12 are arranged inside the fixture housing 11.

The outside of this part of the baffle is wrapped with sponge so that it can be in closer contact with the 3D curved glass without wearing the 3D curved glass; when extended to the longest, the length is 110mm.

[0072] When the specific parameters of the 3D curved glass to be cleaned are input into the device and it is turned on, the first gear rod 123 and the second gear rod 125 move into position along the y-axis direction, and at the same time, the three groups of first sliders 122 and second sliders 124 move into position along the x-axis; after reaching the preset position, the first gear rod 123 and the second gear rod 125 begin to extend until they are at their longest.

[0073] Two glass support rods 133 are provided. Driven by an internal motor, the glass support rods 133 move along the first y-axis guide rail 131 and the second y-axis guide rail 132. The glass support rods 133 and the highest position of the outer frame of the fixture housing 11 are at the same horizontal plane. The glass support rods 133 are made of rubber and have anti-slip texture on the upper surface.

[0074] Once the specific parameters of the 3D curved glass to be cleaned are entered into the machine and it is turned on, the glass support rods 133 are programmed to move along the y-axis to a position that does not obstruct the first and second blocking rods 123, 125. The material is loaded by the robot and placed vertically on the two glass support rods 133. The first and second blocking rods 123, 125 then move from their initial positions to the set positions, clamping the material.

[0075] The drainage holes 111 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the fixture housing 11 , and water during the cleaning process is discharged from the flexible glass fixture 1 through the drainage holes 111 .

[0077] The 3D curved glass is fully cleaned by the cooperation between the water spray component 22 and the brush component 23.

[0078] The water spray assembly 22 includes: a first water spray pipe 221 and a second water spray pipe 222; the first water spray pipe 221 and the second water spray pipe 222 are respectively arranged on the two inner walls of the cleaning chamber shell 21, and the lengths of the first water spray pipe 221 and the second water spray pipe 222 are the same as the length of the cleaning chamber shell 21; nozzles 223 are arranged at intervals on the first water spray pipe 221 and the second water spray pipe 222, and the nozzles 223 are used to spray cleaning water toward both sides of the 3D curved glass.

[0079] The nozzle 223 continuously sprays water outward, so that the 3D curved glass is always rinsed with clean water in the cleaning section 2.

[0080] It can be understood that the brush assembly 23 is arranged at intervals, and the brush assembly 23 includes: a brush guide rail 231 and a rotating brush 232; the setting direction of the brush guide rail 231 is the same as the movement direction of the flexible glass fixture 1; the rotating brush 232 is arranged on the brush guide rail 231, and the rotating brush 232 can move along the direction of the brush guide rail 231.

[0085] It can be understood that the cleaning chamber shell 21 is made of PVC, and the nozzle 223 uses a high-pressure nozzle to rinse the 3D curved glass.

When the specific parameters of the 3D curved glass to be cleaned are input into the equipment and it is turned on, the brush head 2321 will clean the surface of the 3D curved glass according to the program. If the degree of curvature of the material is large, the double-layer shaft 2322 drives the brush head 2321 to tilt at a certain angle to clean the parts with complex material structure.
