Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ultra-thin flexible glass production, and more specifically, it relates to a structure of an ultra-thin flexible glass cleaning tank. Background Art

[0002] At present, the protective material for the screen of foldable mobile phones mainly uses CPI film (colorless polyimide) as the protective cover plate. Using CPI as the protective material for the foldable mobile phone screen has the advantages of low material price, good toughness, and easy processing. However, obvious creases appear after multiple folds, which affects the display effect. At the same time, the surface hardness is low, scratches are easy to appear, the transparency is low, and it is easy to turn yellow after long-term use. Most importantly, it is not resistant to high temperature and processes that require high-temperature treatment cannot be carried out on its surface.

[0003] Ultra-thin flexible glass (utg) inherently has higher performance indicators in terms of surface flatness, scratch resistance, and impact protection for display screen devices. The glass has good optical properties, strong environmental stability, high surface hardness and scratch resistance, and high temperature resistance. The advantage of the glass lies in its high surface hardness. In addition, its material itself has good self-healing ability. After long-term repeated bending, it can still restore the original flatness, and there is no problem of fatigue of film materials. Ultra-thin flexible glass solves the problems of creases and scratches, and its light transmittance is also higher than that of CPI. It is the best choice for the protective panel of foldable mobile phones and flexible display screens. It has become an irresistible trend to replace CPI with ultra-thin flexible glass as the cover plate material for foldable mobile phones.

[0004] The existing production process of ultra-thin flexible glass needs to go through thinning, forming, and strengthening. After thinning, forming, and strengthening, dirt and particles will appear on the surface of ultra-thin flexible glass. Therefore, ultra-thin flexible glass needs to be cleaned of dirt and particles on its surface by an ultrasonic cleaning machine using a high-concentration alkaline cleaning agent. After being cleaned by the high-concentration alkaline cleaning solvent, the ultra-thin flexible glass must be rinsed clean of the residual high-concentration alkaline cleaning solvent on the surface of the ultra-thin flexible glass and the basket tooling for loading the glass in a pure water tank. However, as the number of cleaning times increases, the pure water tank also becomes alkaline, forming alkaline dirt.

[0005] The prior art includes a technology titled "Rotary-type continuous cleaning system and method for thin glass substrates" and publication number 106623237A. This technology includes a transmission mechanism consisting of multiple transmission shafts, a cleaning tank located on one side of the transmission mechanism and containing an ultrasonic generator, and a swing frame rotatably disposed between the cleaning tank and the transmission mechanism. The swing frame includes a central longitudinal beam, a cleaning beam and a transfer beam fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam and located on either side of the longitudinal beam. The cleaning beam is located above the cleaning tank and can be driven into or out of the cleaning tank. The transfer beam can pass through the gaps between the transmission shafts to interact with the transmission mechanism for thin glass substrates. The cleaning beam and transfer beam are provided with a transmission mechanism. This technology does not address the technical problems and technical solutions of the present application.

[0011] The left side glass limiting frame, the multi-channel middle glass supporting frame, the right side glass limiting frame and the platform body are all configured as a hollow frame structure.

[0012] The left pipeline is vertically arranged, with a downwardly inclined left nozzle near the upper part and a horizontally arranged left nozzle near the middle of the left pipeline.

[0023] As shown in the appended Figure 1As shown in the figure, the utility model relates to a cleaning tank structure for ultra-thin flexible glass, which includes a cleaning tank 1. Multiple left pipelines 2 and multiple right pipelines 3 are arranged in the cleaning tank 1.

A glass moving platform 9 is located between the left pipelines 2 and the multiple right pipelines 3. For the deficiencies in the prior art, the above structure proposes an improved technical solution. When setting up the structure, a cleaning tank is provided. The cleaning tank is a component for the basket (glass moving platform) of ultra-thin flexible glass to pass through and clean the high-concentration alkaline cleaning solvent remaining on the surface of the ultra-thin flexible glass. Multiple left pipelines 2 and multiple right pipelines 3 are arranged in the cleaning tank 1. Left nozzles 4 are arranged on the left pipelines 2, and right nozzles 5 are arranged on the right pipelines 3. The multiple left pipelines 2 are connected to a left main pipeline 6, and the multiple right pipelines 3 are connected to a right main pipeline 7. The left main pipeline 6 and the right main pipeline 7 are connected through a connecting pipeline 8. A glass moving platform 9 is located between the left pipelines 2 and the multiple right pipelines 3. Clear water is supplied through the connecting pipeline 8, and the clear water enters the left main pipeline 6 and the right main pipeline 7 from the connecting pipeline 8 and is ejected from the left nozzles 4 and the right nozzles 5. In this way, when the basket (glass moving platform 9) of the ultra-thin flexible glass 14 passes through the cleaning tank 1, multiple left nozzles 4 and multiple right nozzles 5 on both sides of the cleaning tank 1 eject clear water to wash the glass moving platform 9 and the ultra-thin flexible glass 14 thereon. And multiple left pipelines 2 and multiple right pipelines 3 are arranged in the cleaning tank 1, so there are left nozzles and right nozzles from the cleaning tank inlet to the cleaning tank outlet. In this way, during the process of the glass moving platform passing through the cleaning tank, the flushing of the glass surface can be reliably realized, so as to wash away the high-concentration alkaline cleaning solvent remaining on the surface of the ultra-thin flexible glass and the basket for loading the glass.
