[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] A glass etching processing apparatus, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, the system includes a processing tank 1, a suspension system, and a mixing mechanism 6. The processing tank 1 contains a glass cleaning tank 2 and a glass etching tank 3. The glass cleaning tank 2 is used for glass cleaning, and the glass etching tank 3 is used for glass etching. Drainage pipes 8 are provided on the side wall of the processing tank 1, respectively communicating with the glass cleaning tank 2 and the glass etching tank 3, to discharge the cleaning solution and etching solution.
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide frames 7 are provided at the top of the glass cleaning tank 2. The guide frame 7 includes a rail frame 9 horizontally fixed at the top of the glass cleaning tank 2 and a plurality of rollers 10 rotatably installed in the rail frame 9. The top of the rollers 10 protrudes from the upper surface of the rail frame 9 and is used to support and guide the glass to move in the glass cleaning tank 2.
[0037] Furthermore, the suspension includes a main frame plate 4 and a sub-frame plate 5 fixed at the top of the processing tank 1. The main frame plate 4 and the sub-frame plate 5 are located above the glass washing tank 2 and are arranged perpendicular to each other. The rail frame 9 is distributed along the length of the sub-frame plate 5, and several rollers 10 rotate and roll along the length of the sub-frame plate 5. One end of the sub-frame plate 5 is fixedly connected to the main frame plate 4, and the other end of the sub-frame plate 5 is provided with support plates 11 on both sides, which are fixed to the top of the processing tank 1.
[0038] In a further embodiment, two rows of cleaning components 13 are mounted on the main frame plate 4 for cleaning the glass. A pair of horizontally movable strip arms 12 are arranged along the length of the main frame plate 4, and the two rows of cleaning components 13 are respectively mounted on the pair of strip arms 12. Two guide grooves 19 are provided on the main frame plate 4, and the pair of strip arms 12 are slidably engaged with the two guide grooves 19 respectively. The cleaning component 13 includes a shaft 20 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the strip arm 12 and a cleaning disc 21 mounted at the bottom end of the shaft 20. A second motor 22 is mounted on the top of the strip arm 12, and the output shaft of the second motor 22 is connected to the shaft 20. The second motor 22 drives the shaft 20 to rotate the cleaning disc 21. The shaft 20 includes a sleeve 27 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the bar arm 12 and a movable rod 28 movably passing through the bottom end of the sleeve 27. The sleeve 27 passes through the guide groove 19. A spring 29 is provided between the end of the movable rod 28 that extends into the sleeve 27 and the inner top wall of the sleeve 27. The sleeve 27 and the movable rod 28 have rectangular cross-sections. The movable rod 28 fits smoothly against the inner wall of the sleeve 27. This structure gives the cleaning component 13 a certain elastic buffer during the cleaning process, avoiding damage to the glass.
[0039] In a further embodiment, the main frame plate 4 is provided with a drive mechanism 14 for driving the two rows of cleaning components 13 to reciprocate in a staggered manner. The drive mechanism 14 includes a connecting rod 23 and a sliding arm 18 connected sequentially to one end of the strip arm 12. The sliding arm 18 is perpendicular to the strip arm 12, and a groove 24 is formed on the sliding arm 18 along its length. A pulley 25 is slidably fitted into the groove 24, and a rotating arm 26 is horizontally rotatably connected to the pulley 25. A bracket 16 is fixed on the main frame plate 4, and a first motor 17 is vertically mounted on the bracket 16. The drive shaft of the first motor 17 is connected to the end of the rotating arm 26 away from the pulley 25. When the first motor 17 is started, it drives the rotating arm 26 to rotate, causing the pulley 25 to slide along the groove 24, thereby forcing the sliding arm 18 to drive the strip arm 12 to reciprocate. The two rows of cleaning components 13 are distributed and staggered along the length of the main frame plate 4, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the glass.
[0040] In a further embodiment, two sets of rinsing components 15 are mounted on the sub-frame plate 5 for rinsing the glass. Each rinsing component 15 includes a diverter plate 30 disposed on the sub-frame plate 5, the diverter plate 30 being arranged along the length of the sub-frame plate 5. Several nozzles 31 are arranged side-by-side at the bottom of the diverter plate 30, penetrating the sub-frame plate 5. The nozzles 31 in the two sets of rinsing components 15 are staggered, and the bottom ends of the nozzles 31 in the two sets of rinsing components 15 are bent and inclined towards opposite sides. An inlet 32 is provided at the top of the diverter plate 30, communicating with the nozzles 31 through the diverter plate 30. By inputting cleaning fluid into the inlet 32, the cleaning fluid is diverted by the diverter plate 30 and sprayed out from the nozzles 31 to rinse the glass.
[0041] In a further embodiment, a spray rack (36) is also provided on the top of the processing tank (1). The spray rack (36) is located above the glass cleaning tank (2) on the main frame plate (4) away from the sub-frame plate (5). The spray rack (36) is used to spray cleaning liquid and water before cleaning the glass. The cleaning liquid includes potassium hydroxide (alkaline) or deionized water to improve the cleaning effect on the glass.
[0042] In a further embodiment, a mixing mechanism 6 is provided inside the glass etching tank 3. The mixing mechanism 6 includes a suction pump 33 installed on the inner wall of the glass etching tank 3. The inlet end of the suction pump 33 is connected to an inlet pipe 34, and the outlet end of the suction pump 33 is connected to an outlet pipe 35. The outlet pipe 35 extends towards the top of the glass etching tank 3 and bends horizontally to the side away from the suction pump 33. When the suction pump 33 is working, it draws out the etching solution from the bottom of the glass etching tank 3 and discharges it from the outlet pipe 35, so that the etching solution circulates within the glass etching tank 3, ensuring the uniformity of the etching solution.
[0043] Working principle of the invention:
[0044] Glass cleaning stage: After wetting the glass to be etched, it is placed on the guide frame 7 in the glass cleaning tank 2, and the glass moves under the support and guidance of the rollers 10. The spray rack 36 sprays cleaning liquid and water towards the glass to wet the glass surface. At the same time, the second motor 22 is started, driving the shaft 20 to rotate, which in turn causes the wiping disc 21 to rotate and wipe the glass surface. The first motor 17 is started, driving the rotating arm 26 to rotate, causing the pulley 25 to slide along the slide groove 24, forcing the slide arm 18 to drive the bar arm 12 to move back and forth. The two rows of wiping parts 13 move in a staggered manner to thoroughly wipe the glass surface. In addition, cleaning liquid is introduced into the inlet 32 of the rinsing part 15. After being diverted by the diverter plate 30, the cleaning liquid is sprayed out from the nozzle 31 to rinse the glass and further remove impurities from the glass surface. Since the nozzles 31 of the two sets of rinsing parts 15 are staggered and bent towards the opposite side, the glass can be rinsed from the middle to both sides, which improves the rinsing effect of the glass and ensures that the glass surface is clean and free of dirt.
[0045] Glass etching stage: The cleaned glass is moved into the glass etching tank 3, and etching solution is added to the glass etching tank 3 to ensure full contact between the glass and the etching solution for etching. At the same time, the suction pump 33 is started to extract the etching solution from the bottom of the glass etching tank 3 and discharge it from the outlet pipe 35, so that the etching solution circulates in the glass etching tank 3 to ensure the uniformity of the etching solution, thereby improving the quality and precision of etching.

The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
