Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fixture technology, specifically to a glass limiting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] The television industry is currently developing rapidly, and the market share of frameless TVs is increasing, leading to a growing demand for new types of glass limiting fixtures. However, due to differences in glass panel sizes among various manufacturers and models, it is necessary to use corresponding limiting fixtures for different sized glass panels.

[0003] Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to temporarily produce glass limiting fixtures of different sizes to meet the positioning requirements of trial production of new products. Such operations require a certain amount of drawing and prototyping time, resulting in low work efficiency and increased cost of using the limiting fixtures. Furthermore, it is impossible to make temporary adjustments according to the actual trial production status, which brings inconvenience to the actual trial production positioning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a glass limiting fixture.

[0005] This invention proposes a glass limiting fixture, comprising a fixture body with adjustable length, at least one pair of oppositely arranged movable seats mounted on the fixture body, and a drive mechanism corresponding to the movable seats installed inside the fixture body. The drive mechanism drives the movable seats to move along the width direction of the fixture body. A pressing mechanism is detachably connected to the opposite surfaces of the at least one pair of movable seats for pressing and limiting the glass plate placed on the fixture body. The adjustable length of the fixture body facilitates the clamping and positioning of glass plates of different lengths. By driving the movable seats and the pressing mechanism to move, it is possible to press and position glass plates of different widths at different positions, facilitating practical adjustment and use.

[0006] As a further optimization of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a lead screw, a driving component, and a slider. The lead screw is rotatably disposed inside the fixture body. The driving component is installed on one end of the lead screw. One end of the slider is threaded onto the lead screw, and the other end of the slider is fixedly connected to a movable seat. The driving component drives the lead screw to rotate, so that the slider can drive the movable seat on it to slide horizontally along the lead screw, thereby driving the capping mechanism to move along the width direction of the glass plate. This facilitates capping at different positions on the wide side of the glass plate and is convenient for temporary adjustment. The driving component can be a motor, throttle, or handwheel, etc., as per existing technology.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the capping mechanism includes an assembly, a clamping plate, a connector, and a capping component. The assembly is detachably mounted on a movable seat. The clamping plate is mounted on the assembly via the connector and is used to clamp the wide edge of the glass plate. The capping component is vertically mounted on the side of the clamping plate away from the assembly and is used to limit the capping of the upper surface of the glass plate. The connector is an elastic connector, and the clamping plate can be horizontally displaced a certain distance along the length of the glass plate, so that after the length of the fixture body is adjusted, it can still be finely adjusted, which is convenient for clamping glass plates of various sizes.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the movable seat includes a movable plate that is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the fixture body, a fixed rod is mounted on the movable plate, a limit block is mounted on the outer periphery of the fixed rod, and the pressure cover mechanism is detachably connected to the limit block.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the capping mechanism and the limiting block are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the fixture body includes a first support plate, a second support plate and a telescopic rod, wherein the first support plate and the second support plate are connected by the telescopic rod and fixed by fasteners.

[0011] The glass limiting fixture proposed in this invention can be temporarily adjusted for glass plates of different sizes, changing the limiting dimensions to meet trial production requirements. It eliminates the need for temporary prototyping, saves trial production time, improves work efficiency, and reduces the cost of using the limiting fixture.

[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 A glass limiting fixture includes a fixture body 1 with adjustable length. At least one pair of oppositely arranged movable seats 3 are installed on the fixture body 1. A drive mechanism 2 corresponding to the movable seats 3 is installed inside the fixture body 1. The drive mechanism 2 drives the movable seats 3 to move along the width direction of the fixture body 1. A capping mechanism 4 is detachably connected to the opposite surfaces of the at least one pair of movable seats 3 for capping and limiting the glass plate placed on the fixture body 1. By adjusting the length of the fixture body 1, it is convenient to place glass plates of different lengths. By driving the movable seats 2 and the capping mechanism 4 to move, it is possible to cap and position glass plates of different widths at different positions, thereby meeting the needs of trial production. There is no need for temporary sampling, which saves trial production time, improves work efficiency, and also reduces the cost of using the limiting fixture.

[0025] Specifically, there are two pairs of movable seats 3, with four movable seats 3 in each pair located at the four corners of the upper surface of the fixture body 1. Slide grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the fixture body 1. The four movable seats 3 are slidably disposed inside the two ends of the slide grooves 5. A movable groove 51 is provided in the middle of the slide grooves 5. The drive mechanism 2 has two movable ends, which extend into the movable groove 51 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seats 3. The drive mechanism 2 drives the two movable ends to move closer or further away from each other, so that the two movable seats 3 located on the same side can move closer or further away from each other along the wide edge of the glass plate, so as to symmetrically limit the different positions of the wide edge of the glass plate.

[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The drive mechanism 2 includes a lead screw 21, a drive component 22, and a slider 23. The lead screw 21 is rotatably disposed inside the fixture body 1. The drive component 22 is mounted on one end of the lead screw 21. One end of the slider 23 is threaded onto the lead screw 21, and the other end of the slider 23 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 3. The drive component 22 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate, so that the slider 23 can drive the movable seat 3 on it to slide horizontally along the lead screw 21, thereby driving the capping mechanism 4 to move along the width direction of the glass plate, which is convenient for capping different positions on the wide side of the glass plate and is convenient for temporary adjustment. The drive component 22 can be a motor, throttle, or handwheel, etc., in the prior art. The drive mechanism 2 can also be a cylinder, electric cylinder, or other pushing mechanism in the prior art.

[0027] Specifically, the lead screw 21 is a bidirectional lead screw, which is formed by two threaded rods with opposite directions of rotation. When the lead screw 21 is rotated by the drive component 22, it can drive the two sliders 23 to move towards or away from each other along the lead screw 21, thereby driving the movable seat 3 and the pressing mechanism 4 to move, so as to symmetrically press and limit the different positions of the wide edge of the glass plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The capping mechanism 4 includes an assembly 41, a clamping plate 42, a connector 43, and a capping component 44. The assembly 41 is detachably mounted on the movable seat 3. The clamping plate 42 is mounted on the assembly 41 via the connector 43 and is used to clamp the wide edge of the glass plate. The capping component 44 is vertically mounted on the side of the clamping plate 42 away from the assembly 41 and is used to limit the capping of the upper surface of the glass plate. The connector 43 is an elastic connector. The clamping plate 42 can be horizontally displaced a certain distance along the length of the glass plate, so that after the length of the fixture body 1 is adjusted, it can still be finely adjusted, which is convenient for clamping glass plates of various sizes.

[0029] Specifically, the connector 43 includes a connecting rod and a first spring. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 42, and the other end of the connecting rod slides through the top of the assembly 41 and is equipped with a stop. The first spring is fitted in the middle of the connecting rod, and both ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the sides of the assembly 41 and the clamping plate 42, respectively. The clamping plate 42 drives the connecting rod to move into the interior of the assembly 41, so that the first spring is compressed and deformed. By utilizing the elastic deformation of the first spring, the clamping plate 42 can elastically clamp the wide edge of the glass plate.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 5The clamping plate 42 is hollow inside and has a fixing post 8 installed. A sliding block 9 is installed at one end of the pressure cover 44. The sliding block 9 is slidably fitted on the bottom end of the fixing post 8. A second spring 10 is fitted on the fixing post 8. The two ends of the second spring 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the clamping plate 42 and the upper surface of the sliding block 9, respectively. A vertical sliding groove adapted to the sliding block 9 is opened on the side of the clamping plate 42 near the pressure cover 44. Under the elastic deformation of the second spring 10, the pressure cover 44 can drive the sliding block 9 to move up and down along the vertical sliding groove, which is convenient for pressing and limiting glass plates of different thicknesses.

[0031] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The movable seat 3 includes a movable plate 31 that is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the fixture body 1. A fixed rod 32 is installed on the movable plate 31. A limit block 33 is installed on the outer periphery of the fixed rod 32. The pressure cover mechanism 4 is detachably connected to the limit block 33.

[0032] Specifically, the main body of the assembly 41 is a rectangular block. A limiting groove adapted to the limiting block 33 is opened in the middle of the bottom end of the rectangular block. The bottom end of the rectangular block is tightly engaged with the limiting block 33 through the limiting groove. Arc-shaped elastic plates are installed on both sides of the bottom of the rectangular block. The two arc-shaped elastic plates are respectively attached to the two sides of the fixing rod 32. The distance between the bottom ends of the two arc-shaped elastic plates is slightly smaller than the diameter of the fixing rod 32, so that the two arc-shaped elastic plates can be engaged with the fixing rod 32 from top to bottom, thereby facilitating the quick assembly between the assembly 41 and the fixing rod 32.

[0033] In this embodiment, the capping mechanism 4 and the limiting block 33 are connected by magnetic attraction;

[0034] Specifically, the main rectangular block of the assembly 41 is made of magnet, while the fixing rod 32 and the limiting block 33 are both made of iron. The assembly 41 is magnetically connected to the fixing rod 32 and the limiting block.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The fixture body 1 includes a first support plate 11, a second support plate 12 and a telescopic rod 13. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are connected by the telescopic rod 13 and fixed by fasteners. The fasteners are screws, bolts or pins, etc.

[0036] Specifically, the telescopic rod 13 is located between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. One end of the telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the second support plate 12, and the other end of the telescopic rod 13 is slidably inserted into the interior of the first support plate 11. Both sides of the end of the first support plate 11 near the second support plate 12 are threaded with hand screws. The tips of the hand screws extend into the interior of the first support plate 11 and contact the telescopic rod 13, thereby fixing the telescopic rod 13.

[0037] Furthermore, vacuum suction cups 6 are embedded in the upper surfaces of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12, and the upper surface of the vacuum suction cups 6 is flush with the upper surfaces of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The bottom end of the vacuum suction cups 6 is connected to an external vacuum pump through a flexible tube. The vacuum pump and the vacuum suction cups 6 generate negative pressure suction, which facilitates the adsorption and positioning of the glass plates placed on the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12.

[0038] In use, the hand screw is first loosened, and the telescopic rod 13 is pulled out from the inside of the first support plate 11 via the second support plate 12. Then, the trial production glass plate is placed on the upper surface of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. Then, the lead screw 21 is rotated by the drive component 22, so that the two sliders 23 drive the movable seat 3 on them to move, so as to adjust the position of the movable seat 3 on the wide side of the glass plate. After the position of the movable seat 3 is adjusted, the assembly 41 is clamped on the fixing rod 32. The magnetic connection between the assembly 41, the limiting block 33, and the fixing rod 32 allows the assembly 41 to be quickly assembled and fixed on the movable seat 3. The clamping plate 42 is clamped on the outside of the wide side of the glass plate by the elastic deformation of the connecting component 43. The pressure cover 44 is pressed on the upper surface of the glass plate. Then, the hand screw is tightened to fix the telescopic rod 13. Finally, the lower surface of the glass plate is vacuum-adsorbed and positioned by the vacuum suction cup 6.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
