Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of storage devices. Specifically, the utility model relates to a storage device for ultra-thin flexible glass after slicing. Background Art

[0002] With the upgrading of electronic products, glass has been widely used in the electronics industry. The market's requirement for the thickness of touch screen glass cover plates and protective glass is getting thinner and thinner. The ultra-thinning of glass has become one of the important development trends of glass. Ultra-thin glass cover plates have received more and more attention from listed companies in the electronic display industry and are mainly used in folding mobile phones, folding laptops, and various wearable electronic devices. Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) refers to glass with a thickness less than 100μm and flexibility. Due to its advantages such as high transparency, stability, and impact resistance, UTG is widely used in various electronic industries. Its bendable property has marked a major milestone in the folding display screen industry and has become an important player in the field of foldable flexible cover plates after CPI cover plates.

[0003] Since the current basic thickness of the studied ultra-thin glass is 30 - 100μm, which has certain toughness and softness. Before chemical strengthening, the glass needs to go through the forming process, edge strengthening, and then be stacked. After boiling glue treatment on the stacked glass, the glass is separated from the cover plate and glue to obtain an unstrengthened glass sample. The existing storage method is to use red or black sponge gaskets to separate and hold the sliced glass. Since slicing is carried out in water, the sliced glass will be attached with water droplets. Due to the surface tension of water, the glass is adsorbed on the gasket, which is not convenient for picking and placing during the subsequent strengthening process. Once the sliced glass is not strengthened in time, and the glass is in a humid environment for a long time, scale and water stains will appear on the glass surface, especially when the water contains minerals and impurities. These scale and water stains will have a certain impact on the appearance of the glass after subsequent strengthening. Moreover, the chemical properties of water will affect the chemical stability of the glass. Glass is usually composed of oxides such as silicates. The oxygen and hydrogen elements in water molecules have strong reactivity under the action of temperature and pressure and are prone to chemical reactions with the oxides on the glass surface. Being in a humid environment for a long time may trigger corrosion or oxidation reactions of the glass, resulting in spots, defects, or oxide layers on the glass surface. Long-term storage with water attachment will cause the loss of mechanical strength at the thinner parts of the glass and enhance the brittleness of the glass, increasing the probability of breakage during the subsequent strengthening process.

[0004] In a published specification with a patent number of 202222955793.5 and a publication date of May 12, 2023, a glass sheet storage device is disclosed, which relates to the technical field of glass sheet storage and includes a glass storage rack, a feeding rack, and a power output mechanism. Compared with the prior art, multiple layers of material placement layers are provided on the glass storage rack, and multiple rotatable shaft rods arranged side by side at intervals are provided on each material placement layer. The power output mechanism provides rotational power output for the multiple shaft rods on the material placement layer. Cooperating with the lifting platforms on the feeding racks on both the front and rear sides of the glass storage rack, the storage and retrieval of glass sheets can be realized. Workers only need to place and retrieve the sheets on the lifting platforms on both sides, effectively reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving the use cost of wooden frames, and reducing the occupied area of the site.

[0005] In the above prior art, the problem that the appearance and performance of the glass deteriorate due to the inability to be strengthened in time after the glass is sliced and stored in a humid environment for a long time cannot be solved. Utility Model Content

The purpose is to help those skilled in the art have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present utility model, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , a storage device for ultra-thin flexible glass after slicing, including a storage box 1. A storage structure 2 for storing the glass sheet 11 is provided in the storage box 1. A water drainage groove 3 is provided below the storage structure 2 in the storage box 1. A protective cover 4 is provided on the storage box 1. The storage structure 2 includes a storage tank 21 provided in the storage box 1. A water drainage plate 22 is provided in the storage tank 21. The glass plate is placed between the water drainage plates 22. The water drainage plates 22 are inclined. An inclined groove 5 is provided on the inner wall surface of the protective cover 4.

[0020] Insert the glass sheet 11 into the storage structure 2 and seal it with the protective cover 4. This can prevent external dust from falling on the glass sheet 11 while ensuring that the water droplets adhering to the surface of the glass sheet 11 stored in the storage structure 2 will flow into the drain tank 3 now, keeping the surface of the glass sheet 11 dry, which is beneficial for the long-term storage of the glass, avoiding the large impact of a humid environment on the appearance and performance of the glass, improving the yield of subsequent strengthened products, and enhancing the performance and appearance of the products. The glass sheet 11 is stored in the storage tank 21 and drains water by leaning against the drain board 22. The glass plates are separated by the drain board 22, so that multiple glass sheets 11 can be stored simultaneously, facilitating batch storage. The glass is inserted obliquely between the drain boards 22 at an angle of 30°. The 30° inclination angle is convenient for draining the water droplets adhering to the glass after slicing, keeping the glass surface dry. The water transpiring and rising will condense on the surface of the inclined groove 5 and flow along the inclined groove 5 towards one end of the protective cover 4, avoiding the situation where the water droplets condensing on the inner wall of the protective cover 4 fall on the glass sheet 11, causing secondary pollution.

[0021] The surface of the drain board 22 is provided with bumps 23; the bumps 23 are used to prevent the glass sheet 11 from adhering to the drain board 22, avoiding the drain board 22 from affecting normal drainage.

[0022] The storage tank 21 is provided with support blocks 24 located below the drain board 22; the glass sheet 11 is placed on the support blocks 24, enabling the glass sheet 11 to be separated from the drain tank 3, which is beneficial for draining water while avoiding the glass sheet 11 from contacting the water stored in the drain tank 3.

[0023] One side of the storage box 1 is provided with a downstream trough 6. One end of the downstream trough 6 is connected to the drain tank 3, and the other end is connected to the inclined trough 5; the water droplets condensing on the inclined trough 5 flow into the downstream trough 6 along the inclined trough 5 and finally flow into the drain tank 3 through the downstream trough 6 for collection.

[0024] The protective cover 4 is provided with insertion rods 7, and the storage box 1 is provided with slots 8 that cooperate with the insertion rods 7; the protective cover 4 is placed on the protective box by the cooperation of the insertion rods 7 and the slots 8.

[0025] The bottom of the storage box 1 is provided with a water outlet 9 connected to the drain tank 3, and a valve 10 is provided at the water outlet 9; the water in the drain tank 3 can be discharged through the water outlet 9, facilitating long-term use.

[0026] The technical effect of the present utility model is that by putting the glass sheet 11 into the storage box 1, effective water drainage can be carried out by using the storage structure 2, effectively solving the problems of performance loss, low operation efficiency, high breakage rate, etc. caused by long-term storage in a humid environment without timely strengthening after slicing of ultra-thin glass products.
