Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass composite processing technology, specifically to a composite equipment and method for stacked mini-LED glass substrates. Background Technology

[0002] Glass lamination is a modern glass processing technology that involves stacking multiple layers of thin glass together and fixing them together through special processing techniques to form a new type of glass material. This glass material has high strength and heat resistance and can be widely used in construction, automobiles, aerospace and other fields.

[0003] When glass sheets are laminated, the glass sheets need to be cut to the same size before lamination to ensure that the laminated glass sheets are the same size. In the existing technology, because the laminated glass sheets are thin, they come into sudden contact with other glass sheets during lamination. This impact force during the bonding process can easily cause scratches on the laminated glass sheets, and in severe cases, it can cause the glass sheets to break during the lamination process, thus affecting the quality of the laminated glass sheets.

[0014] A method for assembling multilayer mini-LED glass substrates includes the following steps:

[0015] S1, Material Selection: Select glass sheets of the corresponding specifications according to the different uses of the laminated glass being processed, and cut the glass sheets according to requirements.

[0016] S2, Layering: Place the cut glass sheets in the order of stacking on the glass-supporting buckles at different heights;

[0017] S3, Lamination: Place the base used for lamination on the support platform, start the hydraulic cylinder, and stack the layered glass sheets from bottom to top in the glass support platform according to the placement order until the support platform rises to the top platform, then remove the glass support platform.

[0018] S4, Composite Processing: The glass support platform for stacked glass sheets is placed in a heating furnace, and the stacked glass sheets are heated to make them soft and shapeable.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The composite equipment and method for stacked mini-LED glass substrates, by setting up a glass clamping mechanism, utilizes the rising of the guide mechanism and the support stage to allow the glass clamping mechanism to clamp the glass sheet first according to the distribution of the toothed plates on one side. Then, the clamping mechanism uses the compression spring force built into the clamping mechanism in conjunction with the gravity of the glass sheet to control the contact force between the glass sheet and other glass sheets on the support stage, reducing the impact force. After the glass sheet is placed, the clamping mechanism is opened again according to the distribution of the toothed plates on the other side, allowing the toothed plates to spring back and begin the next clamping. This improves the protection effect during the stacking of glass sheets and increases the quality of the stacked glass sheets.

[0022] 2. The composite equipment and method for the laminated mini-LED glass substrate, by opening a groove on the support platform, allows the glass-bearing stage to enter the groove through the platform opening and be locked in place. As the support platform rises, the glass-bearing stage remains stably on the support platform, preventing it from being tilted by the glass-bearing clips, thereby improving the accuracy of the glass sheet lamination. At the same time, the positioning clips restrict the glass-bearing stage in the groove, improving the stability of the glass-bearing stage locking without affecting the use of the glass-bearing stage.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-8A composite device for stacked mini-LED glass substrates includes: a base 1, with legs 2 installed at each of the four corners of the top of the base 1, a support platform 3 installed on the top of the legs 2, glass support columns 5 installed on the surface of the support platform 3, a top platform 6 provided on the top of the glass support columns 5, a hydraulic cylinder 4 installed on the surface of the base 1, with the top of the hydraulic cylinder 4 located at the center of the support platform 3, and a support 9 installed on the top of the hydraulic cylinder 4. Both the support platform 3 and the top platform 6 have through slots in their middle sections, and the support 9 is connected by hydraulic... The cylinder 4 moves up and down in the through groove. The surface of the support platform 9 is engaged with the glass support platform 10. The side of the glass support column 5 is equipped with glass support buckles 7. There are four glass support buckles 7 located on the same horizontal plane, and glass plates overlap between the four glass support buckles 7. The side of the support platform 9 is provided with a guide mechanism 17. One end of the guide mechanism 17 passes through the support platform 9 and engages with a toothed plate 11. The toothed plate 11 is installed on the side of the glass support column 5. The side of the support platform 9 is linked to the guide mechanism 17 to provide a glass clamping mechanism 16.

[0034] There are two guide mechanisms 17, which are respectively set on both sides of the support platform 9. The toothed plates 11 that the two guide mechanisms 17 engage are at different heights and the toothed plates 11 that the two guide mechanisms 17 contact are at different positions, so that the glass clamping mechanism 16 can freely control the opening and closing, and can accurately clamp the glass sheet to be stacked on the support platform 9.

[0035] The glass support buckle 7 includes a housing 71, inside which a top spring 72 is provided. At the end of the top spring 72, a latching block 73 is provided. One end of the latching block 73 passes through the housing 71. After the glass sheet on the glass support buckle 7 is clamped by the glass clamping mechanism 16, the support platform 9 can directly compress the glass support buckle 7 to avoid the glass support buckle 7 affecting the lifting and lowering of the support platform 9.

[0036] Among them, the top of the connecting block 73 penetrating one end of the outer shell 71 is provided with a groove 74, the inner wall of the groove 74 overlaps with the edge of the glass, and the top and bottom of the connecting block 73 penetrating one end of the outer shell 71 are both set as slopes. By opening the groove 74, the glass sheet can be limited after being placed, so as to prevent it from displacing and falling out of the clamping position.

[0037] The support platform 9 has an open groove 13 on its top, and a positioning buckle 12 is provided on the open side of the groove 13. The bottom of the glass-supporting column 5 located on the front of the base 1 has a through-hole 8. The size of the inner wall of the through-hole 8 is adapted to the size of the glass-supporting platform 10. Before the support platform 9 rises, the glass-supporting platform 10 can be inserted into the groove 13 through the through-hole 8, and then the glass-supporting platform 10 can be taken out from the top of the top platform 6, which improves the continuity of the glass stacking.

[0038] The glass-supporting platform 10 has clamping grooves 14 on both sides, and the positions of the clamping grooves 14 correspond to the positions of the glass-clamping mechanism 16. The side of the glass-supporting platform 10 is integrally provided with a locking strip 15, and the side of the inner wall of the support groove 13 is provided with a locking groove for the locking strip 15 to slide. The locking strip 15 is used to restrict the glass-supporting platform 10 in the support groove 13. As the support platform 9 rises, the glass-supporting platform 10 stays stably on the support platform 9, preventing it from being tilted by the glass-supporting buckle 7.

[0039] The positioning buckle 12 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 121, inside which a spring 122 is provided. A locking protrusion 123 is provided on the top of the spring 122. The top of the locking protrusion 123 is a double-sided sloping protrusion. The positioning buckle 12 restricts the glass support platform 10 in the support groove 13, thereby improving the stability of the glass support platform 10 in the snap-fit ​​without affecting its use.

[0040] The guide mechanism 17 includes a groove 171, which is located at the bottom of the side of the support platform 9. A guide rod 172 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the groove 171. The guide rod 172 extends through the support platform 9 to the interior of the groove 171 at the other end. Both ends of the guide rod 172 are threaded, with the threads at both ends being opposite. A flywheel 173 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 172. A worm gear 174 meshes with the outer edge of the flywheel 173. The worm gear 174 is rotatably mounted in the groove 171. Inside, one end of the worm gear 174 passes through the support platform 9 and is fixedly sleeved with a gear 175. The outer edge of the gear 175 meshes with the toothed plate 11. The worm teeth on the surfaces of the worm gears 174 on both sides of the support platform 9 face the same direction. The flywheels 173 on both sides of the support platform 9 rotate in opposite directions. Through the positional distribution of the toothed plate 11, the guide mechanism 17 is driven to operate as the support platform 9 moves, thereby enabling the glass clamping mechanism 16 to clamp the glass sheets to be stacked on the support platform 9, reducing the impact force between the glass sheets during stacking.

[0041] The glass clamping mechanism 16 includes a loose clamping plate 161, with a positioning hole 162 inside the loose clamping plate 161. A support rod 163 is slidably arranged inside the positioning hole 162, and a glass clamping plate 166 is installed on the top of the support rod 163. A limit ring 164 is integrally provided on the surface of the support rod 163. The outer edge of the limit ring 164 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 162. A compression spring 165 is provided at the bottom of the limit ring 164. The compression spring 165 is movably sleeved on the surface of the support rod 163 and located inside the positioning hole 162. By utilizing the elastic force of the compression spring 165 built into the glass clamping mechanism 16 in conjunction with the gravity of the glass sheet, the contact force between the glass sheet and other glass sheets on the glass support platform 10 is controlled, the impact force is reduced, and the protective effect during the stacking of glass sheets is improved.

[0046] S4, Composite Processing: Place the glass support 10 for stacking glass sheets into a heating furnace and heat the stacked glass sheets to make them soft and shapeable. During the heating process, the temperature and time need to be controlled to ensure that the glass sheets do not crack or deform.

[0047] S5, Press Molding: After the glass sheet becomes soft, a special press is used to press the glass sheet to ensure the adhesion between its layers. Then the pressed glass sheet is cooled to make it hard and usable.
