Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bendable glass, in particular to a support frame for bendable glass. Background Art
[0002] The existing deep processing process flow of conventional flat glass (non-bendable) is as follows: 1. Large-sized (400mm*300mm in length and width) flat glass is cut into transitional medium-sized flat glass by a cutter wheel. 2. The transitional medium-sized flat glass is then processed by a CNC grinding wheel or other processes to prepare the target small-sized (final target size) flat glass. 3. The target small-sized flat glass is placed in an existing ordinary support frame (only supporting the left and right lower three sides of the glass edge), and then put into the tempering liquid together for a tempering process (also known as an ion exchange process or glass hardening process) to increase the strength of the glass, increase the surface stress, and improve the glass's scratch resistance and impact resistance. In the above process, once the glass is tempered, it is difficult to cut the target small-sized glass by a CNC grinding wheel or laser because of the large stress layer.
[0003] Newly emerging bendable glass can be categorized as foldable or rolled glass based on the size of the bend. Foldable glass is defined as glass that bends only in the middle, with a bendable width of 2-20mm and a bendable area less than 1 / 4 of the total surface area. Rolled glass is defined as glass that bends at least 1 / 2 of the total surface area.
[0004] The deep processing process of bendable glass is based on the existing flat glass: 1. Large-sized (400mm*300mm in length and width) flat glass is cut into transitional medium-sized flat glass by a cutter wheel. 2. The transitional medium-sized flat glass is then processed by a CNC grinding wheel or other processes to prepare flat glass with a target small-sized (final target size) shape. 3. The flat glass with a target small-sized shape requires the use of corresponding processes on the curved parts to prepare bendable glass. For example, the method described in the patent document "CN115448586A-A Foldable Glass and Its Preparation Method" uses a laser etching process to prepare numerous micro-long holes. Since the target small-sized glass becomes bendable glass in the second half of etching, the bendable glass will bend in the etching liquid, and the edge of the glass will leave the support point of the ordinary support frame, causing the glass to break or fall to the bottom of the etching groove. In addition, there is uneven etching at the contact point between the edge of the target small-sized glass and the ordinary support frame. Alternatively, using the process described in patent document "CN112679101A - A Type of Uneven Thickness Glass and Its Processing Technology" to produce bendable glass will also result in conventional support frames being unable to effectively support the bendable glass. 4. The bendable glass will then need to be placed in conventional support frames and placed in cleaning and tempering tanks for further processing. This can also lead to conventional support frames being unable to effectively support the bendable glass and easily coming into contact with the bendable glass while supporting it, resulting in obstructions during cleaning, drying, and uneven tempering at the contact points.
[0005] Therefore, existing conventional support frames (which only support the left, right, and lower edges of the glass) are not only unable to support large-area bendable curved glass, but even if they can successfully support small-area foldable glass with a small probability, when the folded glass emerges from the etching, cleaning, and tempering liquids, the surface tension of the liquid and the lack of vertical stability when lifting the glass will cause the flat glass to become curved and unable to emerge vertically from the liquid surface, which can easily cause the curved glass to break or break off the support frame and fall to the bottom of the liquid tank. Furthermore, the design of the left, right, and lower three contact support points can lead to poor appearance at the contact points of the glass, such as uneven etching, occlusion in cleaning and drying, and uneven tempering.

[0046] Optionally, the first side plate 1 , the connecting assembly, the reinforcing rod 11 and the second side plate 2 are all made of stainless steel.

Furthermore, by providing a reinforcement rod with removable ends connected to the first and second side panels, the entire support frame is reinforced to prevent deformation.
[0049] A specific embodiment of a support frame for bendable glass is further described below.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support frame for flexible glass of this embodiment includes: a left side panel (first side panel 1), component A (first connecting member 3), component B (third connecting member 5), component C (second connecting member 4), a reinforcing rod 11, and a right side panel (second side panel 2) (all made of stainless steel). Components A, C, and reinforcing rods 11 are each four in number, and each group of components B is four in number, which can be one or more groups, and all are cylindrical. Component A has a first screw hole 301 at its end near the left side panel, and a first protrusion 302 at its end near component B. The end of the first protrusion 302 near the left side panel is a glass placement area 303, and the end of the first protrusion 302 near component C is provided with an external thread (first connecting structure 304). Component C has a screw hole (third connecting structure 501) on the end near component A. Component C has a third protrusion 502 on the end near component A. The end of the third protrusion 502 near component A serves as the glass placement area 303. The end of the third protrusion 502 near component C has an external thread (fourth connecting structure 504). Component B has an external thread (second connecting structure 402) on the end near component C, and a second screw hole 401 is provided on the end near the right side panel of component C. The first connecting structure 304 (external thread) connects to the third connecting structure 501 (screw hole), and the fourth connecting structure 504 (external thread) connects to the second connecting structure 402 (screw hole). This allows the connection of component A (first connecting member 3), component B (third connecting member 5), and component C (second connecting member 4), securing two pieces of flexible glass 6 with transition holes 601 in between. A reinforcement rod 11 has a third screw hole on the end near the left side panel and a fourth screw hole on the end near the right side panel. The length of the reinforcement rod 11 matches the combined length of components A, B, and C. The left and right panels include a handle hole 9, a hollow hole 8, and eight side panel screw holes 7. The handle hole 9 is used for lifting or lowering the support frame by hand or a robot. The hollow hole 8 does not hinder the etching solution, tempering solution, and cleaning and drying functions.
[0051] When there are multiple groups of components B, first, use screws to fix the eight side panel screw holes 7 on the left side panel to the first screw holes 301 on the four components A and the third screw holes on the reinforcement rod 11, and then insert the first piece of transitional medium-sized flexible glass 6 with four transitional through holes 601 into the first protrusion 302 of the four components A and place it on the glass placement area 303, and then connect the screw holes (third connecting structure 501) of the initial first group of four components B to the external thread (first connecting structure 304) of the component A, insert the second piece of transitional medium-sized flexible glass 6 with four transitional through holes 601 into the third protrusion 502 of the initial first group of four components B and place it on the glass placement area 303, and then add a second group of four components B, and match the screw holes (third connecting structure 501) of the second group of four components B to the external thread (first connecting structure 304) of the component A. The external threads (fourth connecting structure 504) of the first four components B should be connected. A third piece of flexible glass (6) with four transition holes 601 (intermediate transition size) should be inserted into the third protrusion 502 of the second group of four components B and placed on the glass placement area 503. Then, a third group of four components B should be added. The screw holes (third connecting structure 501) of the third group of four components B should be connected to the external threads (fourth connecting structure 504) of the second group of four components B. This process should be repeated. The final piece of flexible glass (6) with four transition holes 601 (intermediate transition size) should be inserted into the third protrusion 502 of the final group of four components B and placed on the glass placement area 503. The screw holes (second connecting structure 402) of the four components C should be connected to the external threads (fourth connecting structure 504) of the final group of four components B. Finally, the eight side panel screw holes 7 on the right side panel should be connected to the second screw holes 401 of the four components C and the fourth screw holes on the reinforcement rod 11 using screws. In this way, the support frame and the flexible glass are assembled. The support frame with the glass is placed in the etching liquid tank, the cleaning and drying tank, and the tempering liquid tank. After completing the corresponding processes, the screws and various connecting structures on the support frame are finally loosened, and the flexible glass 6 with four transition through holes 601 of the transition medium size is taken out.
[0052] Figure 3 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the connection between the first connecting member 3 (connecting member A) and the second connecting member 4 (connecting member C) in this embodiment. The support frame adopts this connection method and can only support one piece of bendable glass. Figure 4a and Figure 4b They are respectively a front view and a stereoscopic view of the combination of the first connecting member 3 (component A), the second connecting member 4 (component C) and the third connecting member 5 (component B) in this embodiment. Figure 5a and Figure 5b They are respectively the front view and the stereogram of the reinforcement rod in this embodiment, Figure 5a and Figure 5b The length of the reinforcement rod in Figure Figure 4a and Figure 4bThe total length of each connecting piece is consistent. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the explosion of the first connecting member 3 (component A), the second connecting member 4 (component C) and the third connecting member 5 (component B) in this embodiment. The support frame can support two pieces of bendable glass by adopting this connection method. Figure 7 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the connection between the first connecting member 3 (component A), the second connecting member 4 (component C) and multiple groups of third connecting members 5 (component B) in this embodiment. The support frame adopts this connection method to support more than two pieces of flexible glass.
[0053] The practical application scenario 1 of the support frame for bendable glass of this embodiment is as follows:
[0054] 1. First, the large-sized 400mm*300mm long and wide flat glass is cut into transitional medium-sized flat glass by a cutter wheel.
[0055] 2. The transition medium size flat glass is prepared into transition medium size flat glass with four transition through holes by CNC grinding wheel, and the four transition through holes are respectively located near the four corners of the glass (or respectively located on at least three sides or at least two opposite sides of the glass).
[0056] 3. Then, a laser process is used to create a laser track pattern on the bendable portion of a flat glass sheet with four transition holes, each covering half the total area (see patent document CN 115448586A). The laser track pattern consists of continuous and evenly spaced micron-scale laser points.
[0057] 4. The flat glass with the laser micro-long hole array having four transition through holes obtained in item 3 above is placed into the support frame of this embodiment, and then the support frame is immersed in the etching liquid. In the later stage of etching, the micro-long holes are etched through, and the glass can be greatly curled. However, in the support frame of this embodiment, the bendable and curlable glass is restrained by the four transition through holes, so it will not curl and will not fall off the support frame and fall into the etching liquid.
[0058] 5. Then carry out the post-process to prepare the flexible glass of the final target size and remove the transition through hole.
[0059] The second practical application scenario of the support frame for bendable glass of this embodiment is as follows:
[0060] 1. First, the large-sized 400mm*300mm long and wide flat glass is cut into transitional medium-sized flat glass by a cutter wheel.
[0061] 2. The transition medium size flat glass is prepared into transition medium size flat glass with four transition through holes by CNC grinding wheel, and the four transition through holes are respectively located near the four corners of the glass (or respectively located on at least three sides or at least two opposite sides of the glass).
[0062] 3. Then, a laser process is used to prepare a laser track pattern of a micro-long hole matrix occupying 1 / 2 of the total area of the flat glass with four transition through holes in the transition medium size on the bendable part (refer to patent document "CN 115448586A"). The laser track line is a continuous and evenly spaced micron-level laser point. The short side contour line 10 of the final outer size is laser cut near the two short sides, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the glass is divided into the left and right hole scraps and the bendable glass of the final target size in the middle.
[0063] 4. The four transition through holes obtained in item 3 above with the laser micro-long hole array flat glass are loaded into the support frame of this embodiment, and then the support frame is immersed in the etching liquid. The micro-long holes are etched through and fall off, and the glass becomes bendable and curled. Through the laser etching process design, the two short side contour lines 10 are not cracked, and the left and right hole scraps and the bendable and curled glass of the final target size in the middle are not separated, so the glass will not fall off the support frame and fall into the etching liquid.
[0064] 5. The glass obtained in item 4 above, together with the support frame of this embodiment, is then placed in an ultrasonic water tank for cleaning. After drying, it is then placed in a molten sodium nitrate tempering solution for glass tempering. After cleaning, the two short side contour lines 10 are not cracked, and the left and right hole scraps and the middle part of the bendable and rolled glass of the final target size are not separated.
[0065] 6. Mechanically apply force to the short edge contour line 10. Due to the glass tempering process, a central tensile stress is generated within the glass, making it easy to mechanically bend the short edge without causing abrupt mechanical compression and edge collapse. The desired final bendable glass size is achieved.
[0066] The support frame for bendable glass of this embodiment can support the rolled glass. For the rolling and folding glass processing technology, it can eliminate the undesirable problems of uneven etching, cleaning and drying obstruction, and uneven tempering caused by the contact between the bendable glass of the final target size and the support frame.
