Abstract

The application discloses a flexible glass water boiling and slicing process based on floating, water boiling and salvage cooperation, which comprises the following steps: S1. loading of flexible glass; S2. water boiling and slicing; and S3. adhesive film salvage. In one aspect, the application keeps the change of the limiting contact point based on the change of the turning angle of the carrier to keep the top surface and the bottom surface parallel, and combines the water flow agitation of the water boiling area, so that the multilayer flexible glass keeps floating in the same direction in the loading space, that is, the water can flow into the space between the loading space and the flexible glass, not only taking away the residual adhesive, but also making the adhesive film smoothly flow out of the loading space to float on the water surface, improving the water boiling and slicing quality and efficiency. In another aspect, based on the cooperation of overflow and salvage, the floating objects are fully collected and cleaned, avoiding the adverse effects of the floating objects on the water boiling and slicing, and the overflow water directly flows back, not only reducing the energy loss rate, but also increasing the water flow flowage capacity of the water boiling area, improving the water boiling and slicing quality and efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flexible glass processing technology, specifically relating to a flexible glass boiling and slicing process based on the integrated operation of floating, boiling, and retrieval. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrathin flexible glass (e.g., UTG) is an ultrathin glass substrate typically between 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm thick, achieving its repeatedly bendable properties through physical or chemical treatments. Due to its ultrathin and flexible nature, multiple sheets of ultrathin flexible glass are bonded together using UV adhesive during manufacturing to significantly improve structural stability, enabling it to withstand the mechanical stress of cutting equipment and preventing deformation or breakage during processing. Therefore, in subsequent processing, the bonded sheets of ultrathin flexible glass need to be separated into individual pieces.

[0003] Currently, the main process for separating ultra-thin flexible glass sheets is boiling. In short, multiple layers of ultra-thin flexible glass are positioned in a basket, which is then immersed in water. The warm water dissolves the adhesive layer, allowing the adhesive film to detach, thus achieving boiling separation. However, during this separation process:

[0004] 1) Due to the limitations of the material basket, the floating space between the multi-layer ultra-thin flexible glass is small, making it difficult for water to penetrate between the two pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass. Therefore, not only does it increase the residual adhesive rate on the surface of the ultra-thin flexible glass, but it also still requires manual removal of the adhesive film after boiling. During the manual removal of the adhesive film, not only does it increase the probability of bumps and damage, but the boiling temperature also makes it impossible for people to clean directly, increasing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0005] 2) For the material basket used, the adhesive film inside the basket needs to be cleaned each time before the next batch of ultra-thin flexible glass can be boiled. Therefore, the operation is relatively cumbersome. At the same time, the adhesive film inside the basket will affect the water mobility, thereby reducing the success rate and efficiency of the slicing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved flexible glass boiling and slicing process based on the integrated operation of floating, boiling, and retrieval.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0008] A flexible glass boiling and slicing process based on a floating, boiling, and retrieval collaboration is disclosed. The boiling and slicing equipment includes a boiling tank, a boiling unit, and a carrier. The boiling tank comprises a tank body with a boiling zone and an overflow zone, and a door on the top of the tank that can be closed or open. The carrier includes a first carrier that flips horizontally to enter or exit the water, and a second carrier mounted on the door and moving in sync with the first carrier to form a multi-point limiting position at the top. A loading space that floats along the stacking direction of multiple flexible glass sheets is formed between the first and second carriers, with the bottom and sides of the loading space being relatively continuous, and the top surface consisting of multiple limiting points. The boiling unit includes a water circulation heating module, a film collection frame located in the overflow zone, and a retrieval assembly. The process includes the following steps:

[0009] S1. Loading of flexible glass

[0010] Multiple layers of flexible glass are placed on the first carrier, the box door is closed, and the second carrier moves to form a loading space with the top and bottom surfaces parallel.

[0011] S2. Boil and slice

[0012] The carrier is flipped horizontally into the water, and the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel by the change in the contact position of the limiting point. The carrier and flexible glass are immersed in the water, and water flows into the loading space and between the multiple pieces of flexible glass. At the same time, the water in the boiling zone boils and rolls. The flexible glass is relatively separated and suspended in the loading space. The film detaches from the flexible glass and flows out of the loading space and floats. As the overflowing film falls into the film collection frame, the overflowing water is filtered out of the film collection frame and flows back to the boiling zone from the bottom of the box or one side of the bottom to form a cycle until the set boiling time is reached. Then, the carrier is flipped horizontally out of the water, and the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel to detach from the water surface. The box door and the second carrier move to open the box and detach from the restraints. Multiple pieces of flexible glass are taken out to complete the boiling and separation.

[0013] S3. Film Retrieval

[0014] The first carrier is flipped over to avoid the overflow, and then the retrieval component retrieves the remaining floating film from the surface towards the film collection frame along the overflow direction.

[0015] According to a specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the first carrier includes a perforated plate and side rails mounted on the perforated plate, wherein the side rails are circumferentially spaced along a reference area defined by the perforated plate; and the extending direction of each side rail is consistent with the stacking direction of the multiple flexible glass sheets. The perforations and spacing form a through-region, which not only facilitates the inflow of water but also promotes the floating of the detached adhesive film from the through-region to the liquid surface.

[0016] Preferably, a mounting base is provided in the boiling zone, and the perforated plate is pivotally connected to the mounting base. The boiling unit also includes a flipping power unit that drives the perforated plate to flip. The flipping mechanism enables the switching between water outlet and water inlet states.

[0017] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the flipping power unit includes an eccentric wheel, a connecting rod, and a motor, wherein the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the eccentric wheel and the perforated plate, and the upper and lower limits of motion formed by the rotation of the eccentric wheel correspond to the state of emerging out of the water and the state of being submerged in water, respectively. Based on the motion formed by the eccentric wheel structure, oscillation in water can be achieved based on forward and reverse motion, thereby more smoothly throwing the film out of the penetration area.

[0018] Preferably, when the glass is in the state of emerging from the water, the perforated plate is set at an angle; in this case, the angled state can drain the water droplets from the surface of the flexible glass. When the glass is submerged in water, the perforated plate can be set at an angle or horizontally. In this case, neither horizontal nor angled state will affect the flow of water. This further illustrates that during boiling, the glass can be dynamically oscillated or left to stand still. However, from the perspective of the achieved effect, dynamic oscillation is more conducive to the demolding process.

[0019] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the present invention, the second carrier includes multiple telescopic rods installed on the inner wall of the cabinet door, wherein the lower ends of the multiple telescopic rods form limiting points, and the limiting points are located within the loading area formed by the first carrier. The position of the limiting points is adjusted based on the length of the multiple telescopic rods, thereby maintaining the top and bottom surfaces parallel during movement, ensuring a single floating direction, thus facilitating the floating and boiling of stacked flexible glass, and also facilitating degumming and demolding. In short, the top surface formed by the multiple limiting points is fixed, and the reference surface is also fixed, but the angle of the reference surface is variable. Therefore, the length of the corresponding telescopic rods is adaptively adjusted by the angle surface of the reference surface to achieve a change in the top surface angle. That is, the contact point position changes with the height of the telescopic rods; in other words, to match the change in the bottom surface angle, the top surface is made parallel to the bottom surface based on the position change of each contact point.

[0020] Preferably, the second carrier further includes omnidirectional ball bearings disposed at the lower ends of each telescopic rod, wherein the contact points of multiple omnidirectional ball bearings form the top surface of the loading space. Based on the instantaneous contact formed by the omnidirectional ball bearings, the contact damage rate of the flexible glass surface is reduced.

[0021] Preferably, in step S2, the carrier is either flipped or left stationary in the water. The advantage of tilting the carrier during boiling is that it facilitates water flow and creates buoyancy because the sides are relatively offset when tilted. While a horizontal setting may have slightly less water flow, the water extends vertically along the buoyancy direction, and based on the positive movement from the bottom, its buoyancy effect is better.

[0022] Preferably, in step S2, when the vehicle is overturned out of the water, the flexible glass is tilted and placed in the loading space to drain the surface water droplets.

[0023] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, a filter screen is provided in the boiling zone, and the carrier is flipped over above the filter screen to drain or immerse water. This, based on the presence of the filter screen, prevents damage to the water circulation heating module caused by accidental flipping of the carrier or accidental falling of the flexible glass, and also prevents detached adhesive films or blocks from entangled or clogging the water circulation heating module.

[0024] Preferably, the water circulation heating module includes a heating module located below the filter screen, a circulation pipeline assembly that returns water from the overflow area to the boiling area, and an external water source addition pipeline assembly. Generally, the heating module is a commonly used heating rod; therefore, the filter screen's interception protection effectively extends the service life of the heating module.

[0025] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, a negative pressure suction module is further provided at the top of the overflow zone. During suction, the hot air generated by boiling water is collected to eliminate the environmental impact of water mist diffusion and facilitate material handling operations.

[0026] According to another specific embodiment and preferred aspect of the invention, the cabinet door opens or closes the top of the boiling zone, while the top of the overflow zone is open. The cabinet door forms a lid around the boiling zone for boiling, while the overflow zone remains open to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the film collection frame.

[0027] In some specific embodiments, the negative pressure suction module includes an adsorption head, an adsorption tube, and an adsorption pump connected to the side wall of the box where the overflow area is located. The outlet of the adsorption pump is connected to the outside or directly into the boiling water area. Generally, the gas is centrally processed, but in some cases, the gas is recirculated. The advantage of recirculation is to avoid energy waste and increase the water turbulence effect.

[0028] Preferably, a partition is provided inside the box, wherein the two sides of the partition are a boiling area and an overflow area, respectively, and the water flows from the top of the partition to the overflow area.

[0029] Furthermore, a baffle plate is installed on the inner wall of the tank door, which is aligned with the partition plate, and a drainage channel is formed between the baffle plate and the partition plate. When the water level is too high, the water is drained not by overflow, but by the flow channel formed between the baffle plate and the partition plate, forming a water flow heating circulation.

[0030] Furthermore, in step S3, the set number of retrievals is adjusted according to the number of times the product is boiled and sliced. In short, it can be retrieved once for each product retrieval, or once for every N product retrievals.

[0031] Preferably, the retrieval assembly includes a retrieval claw and a retrieval power component, wherein the retrieval claw is adjustable up and down, and the retrieval power component is used to drive the retrieval claw to pick up the adhesive film and transfer it to the adhesive film collection frame. Based on the retrieval claw's ability to retrieve floating objects, and in conjunction with the collection of adhesive film in overflow, the defects of the adhesive film or adhesive blocks causing adverse effects during boiling are eliminated.

[0032] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0033] In existing water-boiling slicing processes, the limited space between multiple layers of ultra-thin flexible glass due to the constraints of the material basket makes it difficult for water to penetrate between two pieces. This not only increases the residual adhesive rate on the surface of the ultra-thin flexible glass, but also necessitates manual removal of the adhesive film after boiling. Manual removal increases the probability of impact damage, and the boiling temperature makes direct cleaning impossible, further complicating the process. Furthermore, the material basket requires cleaning the adhesive film inside each batch before the next batch of ultra-thin flexible glass can be boiled, making the operation relatively cumbersome. Additionally, the adhesive film inside the basket affects water mobility, thus reducing the slicing success rate. Regarding power and efficiency, this application improves upon existing flexible glass boiling and slab separation processes by integrating floating, boiling, and salvage operations. This ingeniously solves various shortcomings of current processes. Using this flexible glass boiling and slab separation process, firstly, multiple layers of flexible glass are placed on a first carrier, the box door is closed, and a second carrier moves to form a loading space with parallel top and bottom surfaces. Secondly, the carrier is flipped horizontally into the water, and based on the change in the contact position of the limiting points, the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel, immersing the carrier and flexible glass in water. Water seeps into the loading space and between the multiple flexible glass pieces, while the boiling zone churns and boils, causing the flexible glass to move within the loading space. For separation and suspension, the film detaches from the flexible glass and floats out of the loading space. As some of the overflowing film falls into the film collection frame, the overflowing water filters out of the collection frame and flows back to the boiling area, forming a cycle. This continues until the set boiling time is reached. Then, the carrier is flipped horizontally to exit the water, keeping its top and bottom surfaces parallel. The tank door and the second carrier move to open the tank and remove the restraints, allowing multiple pieces of flexible glass to be removed, completing the boiling process. Finally, the first carrier is flipped to avoid obstruction, and the retrieval component retrieves the remaining floating film from the overflow direction towards the film collection frame. Therefore, this invention, on the one hand, is based on the change in the carrier's flipping angle... During the boiling process, the limiting contact changes to keep the top and bottom surfaces parallel. Simultaneously, combined with the water flow agitation in the boiling zone, the multi-layer flexible glass floats in the same direction within the loading space. This allows water to penetrate between the loading space and the flexible glass, not only carrying away residual adhesive but also allowing the adhesive film to smoothly exit the loading space and float on the water surface, improving the quality and efficiency of the boiling separation process. On the other hand, based on the cooperation of overflow and retrieval, floating objects are fully collected and cleaned, preventing them from causing adverse effects on the boiling separation process. At the same time, the overflow water flows back directly, reducing energy loss and increasing the water flow capacity in the boiling zone, further improving the quality and efficiency of the boiling separation process.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "above," "below," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible embodiments.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the flexible glass boiling and slicing process based on the integrated floating, boiling, and retrieval mechanism of this embodiment uses boiling and slicing equipment including a boiling tank 1, a boiling unit 2, and a carrier 3.

[0054] In this example, the boiling tank 1 has a tank body 10 with a boiling area 10a and an overflow area 10b, and a door 11 that can be closed or opened on the top of the boiling area 10a. The boiling area 10a and the overflow area 10b are separated by a partition 12, and the water in the boiling area 10a overflows from the top of the partition 12 to the overflow area 10b. The door 11 is rotatably mounted on one side of the tank body 10 via a pivot, and an outwardly extending outer seat 13 is formed from the side where the pivot is located. Then, a telescopic cylinder 14 arranged in the vertical direction is used to pivotally connect the outer seat 13 and the outer wall of the tank body 10, so that the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 14 can drive the door 11 to flip, thereby closing or opening the opening on the top of the boiling area 10a.

[0055] The boiling unit 2 includes a water circulation heating module 20, a film collection frame 21 located in the overflow area 10b, and a retrieval component 22.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, a filter screen 4 with upper and lower separation is provided inside the boiling zone 10a, and the water circulation heating module 20 includes a heating module 200 located below the filter screen 4, a circulation pipeline assembly 201 that returns water from the overflow zone 10b to the boiling zone 10a, and an external water source addition pipeline assembly 202.

[0057] In this example, the heating module 200 uses two commonly used heating rods, which are positioned side-by-side below the filter screen 4. This means the filter screen 4 protects the heating rods below, effectively extending the lifespan of the heating module. The circulation pipeline assembly 201 includes a circulation pipe y and a circulation pump b. The outlet of the circulation pump b connects to the bottom of the housing 10 and the boiling zone 10a to form a return flow (i.e., the circulation pump b and the boiling zone 10a are connected via the return pipe h). The external water supply pipeline assembly 202 is used to replenish water to the boiling zone 10a. Specifically, water is added from the bottom of the boiling zone 10a through an external pipe w. The membrane collection frame 21 is a filter frame (pull-up type), which is inserted vertically into the overflow zone 10b. The overflowing water can be returned after passing through the filter frame. The retrieval assembly 22 includes a retrieval claw 220 and a retrieval power component 221. The retrieval claw 220 is adjustable up and down, and the retrieval power component 221 drives the retrieval claw 220 to retrieve the adhesive film and transfer it to the adhesive film collection frame 21. Based on the retrieval claw's ability to retrieve floating objects, combined with the collection of adhesive film in overflow, the drawbacks of adhesive film or adhesive blocks causing adverse effects during boiling are eliminated.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the carrier 3 includes a first carrier 31 that flips horizontally to enter or exit water, and a second carrier 32 that is mounted on the door 11 and moves in sync with the first carrier 31 to form a multi-point limiting position at the top. A loading space that floats along the stacking direction of multiple flexible glass B is formed between the first carrier 31 and the second carrier 32, and the bottom and sides of the loading space are relatively connected, and the top surface is composed of multiple limiting points.

[0059] In this example, the first carrier 31 includes a perforated plate 311 and side rails 312 mounted on the perforated plate 311. The side rails 312 are circumferentially spaced around the reference area set by the perforated plate 311, and the extension direction of each side rail 312 is consistent with the stacking direction of the multiple flexible glass sheets B. Meanwhile, a mounting base 313 is provided in the boiling area 10a. The perforated plate 311 is pivotally connected to the mounting base 313. The boiling unit 2 also includes a flipping power unit 23 that drives the perforated plate 311 to flip. The flipping mechanism achieves the switching between water outlet and water inlet states. The flipping power unit 23 includes an eccentric wheel 230, a connecting rod 231, and a motor 232. The two ends of the connecting rod 231 are respectively connected to the eccentric wheel 230 and the perforated plate 311, and the upper and lower limits of motion formed by the rotation of the eccentric wheel 230 correspond to the states of emerging from the water surface and being submerged in water, respectively. The motion generated by the eccentric wheel 230 structure allows for oscillation in water through forward and reverse movements, thus facilitating the ejection of the film through the penetration area. Specifically, when the film is above the water surface, the perforated plate 311 is tilted; this tilted position helps to drain water droplets from the flexible glass surface. When submerged in water, the perforated plate 311 can be tilted or horizontal; neither tilting nor horizontal position affects the flow of water. This further demonstrates that during boiling, dynamic oscillation or static placement is possible, but based on the achieved results, dynamic oscillation is more beneficial for film removal.

[0060] The second carrier 32 includes a positioning seat 320 installed on the inner wall of the door 11, multiple telescopic rods 321 mounted on the upper end of the positioning seat 320, and universal ball bearings 322 installed on the lower end of each telescopic rod 321. The contact points (limiting points) of the multiple universal ball bearings 322 form the top surface of the loading space, and the limiting points are located within the loading area formed by the first carrier 31. The position of the limiting points is adjusted based on the length of the multiple telescopic rods 321, thereby keeping the top and bottom surfaces parallel during movement, making the floating direction singular, which facilitates the floating and boiling of the stacked flexible glass B, and also facilitates degumming and demolding. In short, the top surface formed by the multiple limiting points is fixed, and the reference surface is also fixed, but the angle of the reference surface is changing. Therefore, the length of the corresponding telescopic rod is adjusted adaptively by the angle surface of the reference surface to achieve the change of the top surface angle. That is, the contact point position formed by the change of the height of the telescopic rod is changing. In other words, in order to match the change of the bottom surface angle, the top surface is made parallel to the bottom surface based on the change of the position of each contact point. The instantaneous contact formed by the universal ball bearings 322 reduces the surface contact damage rate of the flexible glass B. Simultaneously, a sliding groove is also provided on the positioning seat 320, allowing the upper end of the telescopic rod 321 to be adjustablely connected to the positioning seat 320.

[0061] In addition, a negative pressure suction module 5 is provided at the top of the overflow zone 10b. This module collects the heat generated during water boiling to eliminate the environmental impact of water mist diffusion and facilitate material handling. The negative pressure suction module 5 includes an adsorption head 50, an adsorption pipe 51, and an adsorption pump connected to the side wall of the box 10 where the overflow zone 10b is located. The adsorption pump outlet is connected to the outside or directly into the water boiling zone 10a. Generally, the gas is centrally processed, but sometimes it is recirculated. The benefit of recirculation is to avoid energy waste and increase the water flow turbulence effect. Simultaneously, a baffle plate 15 is provided on the inner wall of the box door 11, aligned with the partition plate 12, forming a drainage channel between the baffle plate 15 and the partition plate 12. When the water level is too high, the water is drained not by overflow, but by the flow channel formed between the baffle plate and the partition plate, creating a water heating circulation. In this example, a flow guide plate 16 is formed at the top of the baffle 12, extending from the boiling zone 10a to the overflow zone 10b. The baffle 15 is similar to the baffle 12, but its bottom forms a flow barrier plate 17 extending from the overflow zone 10b. The flow guide plate 16 and the flow barrier plate 17 are parallel and form a flow channel. The purpose of setting up the flow channel is: 1. to facilitate water discharge to the overflow zone 10b; 2. when the water level in the boiling zone 10a is higher than the flow barrier plate 17, the flow channel can effectively control the flow rate to the overflow zone 10b, forming a so-called undercurrent, thereby enhancing the water flow dynamics in the boiling zone 10a to assist in degumming and film removal.

[0062] The implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0063] S1. Loading of flexible glass

[0064] Multiple layers of flexible glass are placed on the first carrier, the box door is closed, and the second carrier moves to form a loading space with the top and bottom surfaces parallel.

[0065] S2. Boil and slice

[0066] The carrier is flipped horizontally into the water, and the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel by the change in the contact position of the limiting point. The carrier and flexible glass are immersed in the water, and water flows into the loading space and between the multiple pieces of flexible glass. At the same time, the water in the boiling zone boils and rolls. The flexible glass is relatively separated and suspended in the loading space. The adhesive film detaches from the flexible glass and flows out of the loading space and floats. As some of the adhesive film overflows, it falls into the adhesive film collection frame. The overflow water is filtered out of the adhesive film collection frame and flows back from the bottom of the box or one side of the bottom to the boiling zone to form a cycle until the set boiling time is reached. Then, the carrier is flipped horizontally out of the water, and the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel to detach from the water surface. The box door and the second carrier move to open the box and release the restraints. Multiple pieces of flexible glass are taken out to complete the boiling and separation.

[0067] S3. Film Retrieval

[0068] The first carrier is flipped over to avoid the overflow, and then the retrieval component retrieves the remaining floating film from the surface towards the film collection frame along the overflow direction.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, in step S2, the carrier is either flipped or left stationary in the water. The advantage of tilting the carrier during the boiling process is that it facilitates water flow and creates buoyancy because the sides are relatively offset when tilted. While a horizontal setting may have slightly less water flow, it creates a vertically extending floating direction, and the positive movement from the bottom results in better buoyancy. Preferably, in step S2, when the carrier is flipped out of the water, the flexible glass is tilted within the loading space to drain surface water droplets. Furthermore, in step S3, the set number of retrievals is adjusted according to the number of times the product is boiled and sliced. In short, it can be retrieved once after each product retrieval, or once after N product retrievals.

[0070] In summary, after adopting this flexible glass boiling and slab separation process, firstly, multiple layers of flexible glass are placed on a first carrier, the box door is closed, and a loading space with parallel top and bottom surfaces is formed by the movement of a second carrier; secondly, the carrier is flipped horizontally into water, and the top and bottom surfaces are kept parallel by the change in the contact position of the limiting points, immersing the carrier and flexible glass in water, with water seeping into the loading space and between the multiple flexible glass sheets. At the same time, the water in the boiling zone boils and tumbles, causing the flexible glass to relatively separate and suspend in the loading space. The adhesive film detaches from the flexible glass and flows out of the loading space and floats, and with the... As the overflow occurs, some of the film falls into the film collection frame. The overflowing water is filtered out of the film collection frame and then flows back to the boiling area to form a cycle. This cycle continues until the set boiling time is reached. Then, the carrier is flipped horizontally to exit the water, keeping the top and bottom surfaces parallel as it leaves the water surface. The door and the second carrier move to open the tank and remove the restraints, allowing multiple pieces of flexible glass to be removed, thus completing the boiling process. Finally, the first carrier is flipped to avoid the overflow, and the retrieval component retrieves the remaining floating film from the surface towards the film collection frame along the overflow direction. Therefore, this invention, on the one hand, maintains the restraints during changes in the carrier's flipping angle. The position contact changes maintain the parallelism of the top and bottom surfaces. Simultaneously, combined with the water flow agitation in the boiling zone, this ensures that the multi-layered flexible glass floats in the same direction into the loading space. This allows water to penetrate between the loading space and the flexible glass, not only carrying away residual adhesive but also allowing the adhesive film to smoothly escape the loading space and float on the surface, improving the quality and efficiency of the boiling separation process. Furthermore, based on the coordination of overflow and retrieval, floating debris is fully collected and cleaned, preventing it from negatively impacting the boiling separation process. Simultaneously, the overflow water flows directly back, reducing energy loss and increasing the water flow in the boiling zone. The flow-through capability improves the quality and efficiency of water boiling and separating; thirdly, the through-area formed by the grid holes and intervals not only facilitates the inflow of water but also helps the detached film float from the through-area to the liquid surface; the flipping mechanism enables switching between water outlet and inlet states; the motion formed by the eccentric wheel structure allows for oscillation in water through forward and reverse movements, thus more smoothly throwing the film out of the through-area. When in the state of floating out of the water surface, the grid plate is tilted; at this time, the tilted state can drain water droplets from the surface of the flexible glass. When submerged in water... The perforated plate can be set at an angle or horizontally. In this case, neither horizontal nor angled state will affect the water flow. It also shows that during boiling, it can be dynamically oscillated or left stationary. However, from the perspective of the achieved effect, dynamic oscillation is more conducive to demolding. Fourthly, the top surface formed by multiple limiting points is fixed, and the reference surface is also fixed. However, the angle of the reference surface is changing. Therefore, the length of the corresponding telescopic rod is adjusted by the surface of the reference surface to achieve the change of the top surface angle. That is, the contact point position formed by the change of the height of the telescopic rod is changing. In other words, in order to match the change of the bottom surface angle, the top surface is made parallel to the bottom surface based on the change of the position of each contact point. At the same time, the rollers formed by the universal ball bearings make instantaneous contact, reducing the contact damage rate of the flexible glass surface.Fifthly, the advantage of tilting the container during boiling is that it facilitates water flow and creates buoyancy because the sides are relatively offset when tilted. While horizontal placement slightly reduces water flow, the water extends vertically along the buoyancy direction, and the positive flow from the bottom results in better buoyancy. Additionally, when the container is tilted out of the water, the flexible glass is tilted within the loading space to drain surface water droplets. Sixthly, the presence of the filter screen prevents damage to the water circulation heating module from accidental tilting of the container or accidental falling of the flexible glass. It also prevents detached adhesive films or blocks from entangled or clogging the water circulation heating module. The module; the seventh aspect is based on collecting the hot air generated during the boiling process to eliminate the environmental impact of water mist diffusion and facilitate material handling. Simultaneously, the extracted gas is centrally processed, and some modules recirculate the gas. The benefit of recirculation is to avoid energy waste and increase the water flow turbulence effect; the eighth aspect is based on the flow channel formed by baffles and partitions facing opposite directions. This not only facilitates water drainage to the overflow area, but also effectively controls the flow rate to the overflow area when the water level in the boiling zone is higher than the baffles. It also creates a so-called "undercurrent," thereby enhancing the water flow dynamics in the boiling zone to assist in degumming and film removal.
