Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of flexible glass drying, and in particular to a drying tank for UTG flexible glass after cleaning. Background Art

[0002] Foldable flexible glass (UTG) is widely used in flexible displays, wearable and fashion materials, flexible solar cells, and other fields due to its excellent bending properties, light transmittance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, and hardness. With the popularity of foldable phones, demand for UTG glass continues to rise. Technological and process breakthroughs in this field hold great market potential.

[0003] After the glass production and processing is completed, it needs to be cleaned. Its working principle is to use the mechanical vibration with strong ultrasonic penetration to impact the surface of the silicon wafer and combine it with the chemical decontamination effect of the cleaning agent to remove impurities such as silicon carbide, silicon powder, metal powder, oil, suspension, etc. attached to the surface of the glass sheet, thereby obtaining a clean surface.

[0004] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN209246596U discloses a glass dryer comprising a mounting cover, the upper side of which is fixedly connected to a first motor. The driving end of the first motor extends through the top of the mounting cover and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod. The lower end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting cover. Two symmetrically arranged rotating disks are fixedly mounted on the rotating rod. The utility model, by arranging the first motor, rotating rod, rotating disk, mounting frame, second spring, slide plate, and arc-shaped slider, allows the glass to be fully dried by the dryer, thereby achieving a good drying effect. A clamping mechanism is provided to clamp and secure the glass. The drying mechanism is provided to fully dry the glass. Simultaneously, the upward and downward movement of the frame drives the movement of the ventilation plate, thereby accelerating air flow within the mounting cover and causing moisture to dissipate more quickly. However, the existing technology still has the following technical problems: the existing glass needs to be dried after cleaning. The drying method is to place the glass in a drying tank and directly heat and dry it to evaporate the surface moisture. The heat conduction speed is slow, the temperature difference between different parts in the tank is large, and the overall drying efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0007] In some embodiments, the heat-insulating device includes heat-insulating cotton, which is wrapped around the inner wall of the drying tank except the notch.

[0008] In some embodiments, the internal circulation device includes a stepper motor and a wind wheel, the stepper motor is mounted on a motor bracket, the stepper motor is connected to the wind wheel shaft, and the wind wheel is mounted on a flange of the drying tank.

[0009] In some embodiments, the wind wheel is cylindrical, and fan blades are provided at the air outlet end of the wind wheel.

[0010] In some embodiments, the closing device includes a slot cover, which includes a fixed slot cover and a closed slot cover. The fixed slot cover is fixedly set on the top of the drying slot, and the closed slot cover is slidably set on the top of the drying slot. A telescopic multi-stage electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed slot cover, and the closed slot cover is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic multi-stage electric cylinder. The bottom of the closed slot cover slides with the top of the drying slot through a directional guide rail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the heating device includes infrared heating tubes, which are arranged on the bottom and two inner walls of the drying tank.

[0012] In some embodiments, the infrared heating tube includes an infrared quartz heating tube and two U-shaped fin heating tubes.

[0018] Second: The closed slot cover uses a telescopic multi-stage cylinder to control closing, saving labor, precise control, and improving space utilization.

[0019] Third: When the impeller rotates, it guides the air in a directional manner. The air inside the drying tank flows through the air inlets on both sides and enters the U-shaped fin heating tube, thereby performing internal air circulation, so that the air inside the entire drying tank is heated up in a very short time, thereby improving the heating speed and effect.

[0020] Fourth: After the temperature in the drying tank reaches the set temperature, wait for the temperature sensor indicator to turn green, the heating tube will no longer heat up, and after the set drying time, all the water on the glass will evaporate. Cooperating with the photoelectric sensor control, it ensures the drying effect of the glass and saves energy. The set thermal insulation cotton can prevent heat loss.
