Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning and slicing device for ultra-thin flexible glass bricks. Background Technology

[0002] Because ultra-thin flexible glass is extremely thin, only tens of micrometers thick, and possesses a certain degree of flexibility, CNC machining and edge polishing of it require the use of photoresist. A certain number of glass sheets are pre-bonded and stacked, then irradiated with ultraviolet light to solidify the photoresist, forming a single piece of ultra-thin flexible glass. Since the resulting shape resembles a transparent brick, the stacked ultra-thin flexible glass is generally referred to as a "brick." After these bricks are machined on a CNC machine, the next step is to separate the glass bricks, i.e., to separate them into individual sheets.

[0003] The current slicing method involves placing the glass blocks into a hot water tank. Since the photoresist used in the blocks decomposes when exposed to hot water, the photoresist softens and melts after the glass blocks are placed in the hot water for a period of time. At this point, the ultra-thin flexible glass is removed, thus completing the slicing process.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned method of slicing has the following disadvantages: 1) After the glass blocks are placed in the hot water tank, it takes a long time for the photoresist to detach from the glass, which is inefficient; 2) After detachment, there will be residual photoresist on the glass surface, which increases the subsequent cleaning work; 3) When the glass is taken out of the hot water tank, it needs to be separated piece by piece because the glass will adhere to a piece when it is soaked in water, which is troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic cleaning and slicing device for ultra-thin flexible glass bricks. The device improves the cleaning efficiency by using a rotating baffle plate. Under the action of a pulse ion fan, the cleaned glass can be automatically slicing, eliminating the need for subsequent manual slicing and solving the problems of low efficiency and easy damage to the glass caused by manual slicing.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0007] An automatic cleaning and segmentation device for ultra-thin flexible glass bricks includes a machine body, a cleaning tank inside the machine body, a water inlet on the side wall of the cleaning tank, and a drain outlet at the bottom; a cleaning frame inside the cleaning tank, a protective net on the side wall of the cleaning frame, and several baffles inside the cleaning frame to divide the cleaning frame into multiple cleaning spaces; a rotating shaft at the bottom of the cleaning tank, driven by a motor, with several baffles circumferentially arranged on the rotating shaft, located inside the cleaning tank; and several pulse ion fans inside the machine body, with the ion outlets of the pulse ion fans located on the side wall of the cleaning tank.

[0008] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a plurality of electric heating tubes.

[0009] Preferably, an ultrasonic generator is installed inside the body.

[0010] Preferably, the water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe is connected to a water pump.

[0011] Preferably, a glass cover is provided on the machine body at the cleaning tank.

[0012] Preferably, the body is provided with a top cover.

[0013] Preferably, the protective net and baffle are made of Teflon material.

[0014] Preferably, a hollow column is provided at the center of the cleaning frame, the bottom of the hollow column is open and the top is closed, and a baffle is fixed between the hollow column and the cleaning frame; a column is provided at the center of the cleaning tank, the cleaning frame is inserted into the column through the hollow column, and the bottom of the column is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft through a bearing.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. When cleaning glass blocks using the device of the present invention, the rotating baffle plate allows the photoresist to separate from the glass surface more cleanly and quickly, improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the pulsed ion fan enables automatic glass slicing after cleaning, eliminating the need for subsequent manual slicing and solving the problems of low efficiency and easy damage to the glass caused by manual slicing.

[0017] 2. The present invention also utilizes ultrasonic cleaning to clean the glass, ensuring that the photoresist can be completely removed from the glass surface, eliminating the need for re-cleaning after slab separation, and improving glass cleaning efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, this embodiment provides an automatic cleaning and slicing device for ultra-thin flexible glass bricks, including a body 1 with a top cover 11. The body 1 is divided into upper and lower spaces by a partition in the middle. The upper space is a cleaning tank 2, and the lower space is used to install related equipment. A water inlet is provided on the side wall of the cleaning tank 2, and a water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is connected to a water pump 9, which pumps water into the cleaning tank 2 for cleaning the glass bricks. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and the drain outlet is connected to a drain pipe, through which the cleaned water is discharged.

[0027] A cleaning frame 301 is provided inside the cleaning tank 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning frame 301 in this embodiment is a regular hexagon. A protective net 302 is provided on the side wall of the cleaning frame 301, allowing water from the cleaning tank 2 to enter the cleaning frame 301 through the protective net 302. A hollow column 304 is provided at the center of the cleaning frame 301, with an open bottom and a closed top. Six baffles 303 are provided inside the cleaning frame 301, fixed between the hollow column 304 and the cleaning frame 301, dividing the cleaning frame 301 into six cleaning spaces. Multiple bricks can be placed in different cleaning spaces, mainly to prevent too many pieces of glass from colliding after the bricks decompose. Products of different specifications can also be placed in different cleaning spaces for easier differentiation when removing them after cleaning. The protective net 302 and the baffles 303 can be made of Teflon, which is stable and does not decompose, will not contaminate the glass, and has low hardness so it will not scratch the glass.

[0028] A column is positioned at the center of the cleaning tank 2. The cleaning frame 301 is inserted into the column via a hollow column 304. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the column via a bearing. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a motor 4. Figure 1-4 As shown, six baffles 5 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating shaft, and the baffles 5 are located below the cleaning frame 301 inside the cleaning tank 2. When water is injected into the cleaning tank 2, the motor 4 can be started to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the baffles 5 to rotate and disturb the water flow. When the photoresist on the ultrathin glass bricks begins to melt when it comes into contact with hot water, the disturbed water flow can accelerate the photoresist from the glass surface and separate the glass in the bricks from each other.

[0029] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the machine body 1 is equipped with two pulse ion fans 6, and the ion air outlets 601 of the pulse ion fans 6 are located on the side wall of the cleaning tank 2; the machine body 1 is equipped with several electric heating tubes 7. After cleaning, the two pulse ion fans 6 are started, blowing ion air from the ion air outlets 601 into the cleaning tank 2. At the same time, the electric heating tubes 7 are turned on to heat and dry the glass. Under the action of ion air and heating and drying, the glass that has been adsorbed together by water and electrostatic force after cleaning is automatically separated, completing the separation of the glass pieces.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Open the top cover 11 and place the UTG glass bricks into the cleaning frame 301. Multiple bricks can be placed in different cleaning spaces within the cleaning frame 301. Then, insert the cleaning frame 301 into the central column of the cleaning tank 2 via the hollow column 304. Close the top cover 11 and begin the cleaning process. Before adding water, plug the ion air vent 601 with a rubber stopper to prevent water from flowing out. Then, the water pump 9 draws pure water and begins adding it into the cleaning tank 2 from the water inlet. Once a certain amount of water has been added, turn on the electric heating element 7 to heat the water, and the motor 4 drives the baffle 5 to rotate, agitating the water flow. The photoresist on the ultra-thin glass bricks melts upon contact with hot water and, under the agitation of the water flow, detaches from the glass surface more quickly and cleanly, separating the glass within the bricks. After cleaning, open the drain at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 to drain the wastewater containing the photoresist.

[0032] Subsequently, the ion air outlet 601 is opened, and two pulse ion fans 6 are started. The ionized air blown out from the ion air outlet 601 is blown into the cleaning tank 2, while the electric heating tube 7 is turned on to heat and dry the glass. Under the action of ionized air and heating and drying, the glass that was originally adsorbed together by water and electrostatic force is automatically separated.

[0033] Finally, the cleaning frame 301 is removed from the cleaning tank 2, and the glass is removed from the cleaning frame 301, placed in the transfer rack, and then directly enters the next processing step.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, an ultrasonic generator 8 is installed inside the body 1.

[0036] Before turning on the pulse ion fan 6 after draining the water once, pure water is injected back into the cleaning tank 2 through the water inlet under the drive of the water pump 9. After the water is full, the ultrasonic generator 8 under the cleaning tank 2 is turned on to start ultrasonic cleaning of the ultra-thin glass surface, so that the photoresist and other impurities on the surface are thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, the water is drained from the drain outlet.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a glass cover 10 is installed on the machine body 1 at the cleaning tank 2 to facilitate staff to observe the cleaning of the glass bricks.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited thereto. Various equivalent modifications or substitutions can be made to the embodiments of the invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the invention, and such modifications or substitutions should all be within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
