Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass inspection, and more specifically, to a glass substrate inspection support device. Background Art
[0002] On the glass production line, annealed molten glass flows continuously and at a constant speed. Molding equipment then combines the naturally overflowing molten glass into ultra-thin glass ribbons to create raw ultra-thin glass sheets. The glass then needs to be cut. After cutting, the edges and corners of the glass substrates need to be ground to improve edge strength. After each processing step, the glass substrates are inspected for defects, including but not limited to bubbles, stones, scratches, and cracks. Only if these defects are absent can they be packaged and shipped.
[0003] Existing glass substrate defect inspection devices typically place a glass substrate flat on a supporting platform and then illuminate the glass substrate with an inspection light source, making defects more visible under the illumination and facilitating defect inspection. Existing glass substrate inspection support devices typically use a supporting platform to support the glass substrate. However, when workers complete the inspection of the upper surface of the glass substrate and need to inspect the lower surface, multiple workers must cooperate to flip the glass substrate for inspection. This significantly reduces the efficiency of glass substrate inspection, increases the workload of workers, and results in high labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a glass substrate inspection support device.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a glass substrate inspection support device is provided, comprising a support frame, a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the support frame, the rotating rod being fixedly mounted at the center of a connecting plate, fixing devices being fixedly mounted at both ends of the connecting plate, the fixing devices being used to fix the glass substrate between the support frames, the other end of the rotating rod being connected to a limiting device, the limiting device being used to limit the position of the glass substrate after flipping.
[0006] With this solution, a fixing device is used to fix the glass substrate between two supporting frames. When the inspection of the upper surface of the glass substrate is completed, the rotating rod is rotated, thereby driving the entire fixing device and the glass substrate to rotate. The position of the rotating rod is then limited by the limiting device, thereby completing the limitation of the position of the glass substrate after flipping, making it convenient for workers to inspect the lower surface of the glass substrate. The flipping method is simple and easy to operate, highly practical, and improves the efficiency of glass substrate inspection.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing device includes a fixing plate, a slide groove, a screw, a nut 1 and a pressure plate, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the fixing plate is provided with a vertical slide groove, the two pressure plates are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the glass substrate, the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the screw, the screw passes through the slide groove and is slidably connected to it, and the screw is fixedly connected to the fixing plate through the nut 1.
[0008] With this solution, when the glass substrate needs to be fixed in position, the glass substrate is placed on the lower pressure plate, which is already secured with nut 1. Once the glass substrate is placed, the upper pressure plate is slid downward along the slide groove until it contacts the glass substrate. Nut 1 is then used to secure the upper pressure plate, thus completing the clamping and securing of the glass substrate and enhancing stability during inspection.
[0009] Preferably, a tightening bolt is installed on the pressing plate, and the tightening bolt passes through the pressing plate and presses on the glass substrate.
[0010] Through this solution, the provision of the tightening bolts further improves the fixing effect of the glass substrate, preventing the glass substrate from being separated from the pressing plate during the inspection process, causing the glass substrate to fall and be damaged.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting device includes a limiting rod, a limiting hole and a turntable, the turntable is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod, the supporting frame is provided with the limiting holes directly above and below the rotating rod, and the limiting rod passes through the through hole on the turntable and the limiting hole in sequence for limitation.
[0012] Through this solution, when the glass substrate needs to be flipped, the turntable is rotated so that the through hole on the turntable corresponds to the limit hole on the support frame. When the turntable is rotated to the appropriate position, the limit rod is inserted into the through hole and the limit hole in turn to fix them. The operation is simple, reduces the workload of workers, and saves labor costs.
[0013] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the limiting rod.
[0014] Through this solution, the setting of the limiting plate can play a better limiting role on the limiting rod, prevent the limiting rod from falling off, enhance the limiting effect, and ensure the smooth progress of the glass substrate inspection work.
[0015] Preferably, the rotating rod is of external thread structure, and nuts 2 are threadedly installed on the rotating rods on both sides of the support frame.
[0016] Through this solution, nuts 2 are installed on the rotating rods on both sides of the support frame. Under the premise of ensuring the normal rotation of the rotating rods, the distance between the support frame and the fixing device can be adjusted at any time according to the length of the glass substrate, meeting the fixing requirements of glass substrates of different lengths and having a wide range of applications.
[0017] Preferably, the diameter of the second nut is larger than the diameter of the circular hole on the support frame for mounting the rotating rod.
[0018] This solution can prevent the second nut from falling out of the round hole, and the limiting effect is better.
[0019] The technical effect of the present utility model is that the glass substrate inspection support device can not only realize the rapid flipping of the glass substrate, reduce the workload of workers, save labor costs, and improve the efficiency of glass substrate inspection, but also has a good fixing effect on the glass substrate, enhances the stability and reliability of the glass substrate inspection process, and ensures the normal progress of the glass substrate inspection work.

[0032] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0033] Example
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the glass substrate inspection support device in this embodiment includes two support frames 1, each of which is fixed to the ground via anchor bolts. A rotating rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1, and the rotating rod 2 is fixedly mounted at the center of a connecting plate 3. Fixing devices 4 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the connecting plate 3. The fixing devices 4 are used to fix a glass substrate 5 between the support frames 1. The other end of the rotating rod 2 is connected to a limiting device 6, which is used to limit the position of the glass substrate 5 after flipping. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four fixing devices 4, with two fixing devices 4 provided on both sides of each support frame 1 to better secure the glass substrate 5.
[0035] The glass substrate 5 is fixed between the two support frames 1 using the fixing device 4. After the inspection of the upper surface of the glass substrate 5 is completed, the rotating rod 2 is rotated, thereby driving the entire fixing device 4 and the glass substrate 5 to rotate. The position of the rotating rod 2 is then limited by the limiting device 6, thereby completing the definition of the position of the glass substrate 5 after flipping, making it convenient for workers to inspect the lower surface of the glass substrate 5. The flipping method is simple and easy to operate, highly practical, and improves the efficiency of the glass substrate 5 inspection.
[0036] Furthermore, the fixing device 4 includes a fixing plate 41, a slide groove 42, a screw 43, a nut 44 and a pressure plate 45. The fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3. The fixing plate 41 is provided with a vertical slide groove 42. The two pressure plates 45 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the glass substrate 5. The pressure plate 45 is fixedly connected to the screw 43. The screw 43 passes through the slide groove 42 and is slidably connected thereto. The screw 43 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 41 through the nut 44.
[0037] When the glass substrate 5 needs to be fixed, it is placed on the lower pressing plate 45. Prior to placement, the lower pressing plate 45 is secured with a nut 1 44. After the glass substrate 5 is placed, the upper pressing plate 45 is slid downward along the direction of the slide groove 42 until it contacts the glass substrate 5. The nut 1 44 then secures the upper pressing plate 45 in place, completing the clamping and securing of the glass substrate 5 and enhancing its stability during inspection.
[0038] Furthermore, a tightening bolt 7 is installed on the pressing plate 45 , and the tightening bolt 7 passes through the pressing plate 45 and presses on the glass substrate 5 .
[0039] The provision of the tightening bolts 7 further improves the fixing effect of the glass substrate 5 , preventing the glass substrate 5 from being separated from the pressing plate 45 during the inspection process, thereby preventing the glass substrate 5 from falling and being damaged.
[0040] Furthermore, the limiting device 6 includes a limiting rod 61, a limiting hole 64 and a turntable 62. The turntable 62 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod 2. The supporting frame 1 is provided with the limiting holes 64 directly above and below the rotating rod 2. The limiting rod 61 passes through the through hole 8 and the limiting hole 64 on the turntable 62 in sequence for limitation.
[0041] When the glass substrate 5 needs to be flipped, the turntable 62 is rotated so that the through hole 8 on the turntable 62 corresponds to the limiting hole 64 on the support frame 1. When the turntable 62 is rotated to a suitable position, the limiting rod 61 is inserted into the through hole 8 and the limiting hole 64 in sequence to fix them. The operation is simple, reduces the workload of workers, and saves labor costs.
[0042] Furthermore, a limiting plate 63 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the limiting rod 61 .
[0043] The setting of the limiting plate 63 can play a better limiting role on the limiting rod 61, prevent the limiting rod 61 from falling off, enhance the limiting effect, and ensure the smooth progress of the inspection work of the glass substrate 5.
[0044] Furthermore, the rotating rod 2 is an external thread structure, and nuts 9 are threadedly installed on the rotating rod 2 on both sides of the support frame 1.
[0045] Nuts 2 9 are installed on the rotating rods 2 on both sides of the support frame 1. Under the premise of ensuring the normal rotation of the rotating rods 2, the distance between the support frame 1 and the fixing device 4 can be adjusted at any time according to the length of the glass substrate 5, meeting the fixing requirements of glass substrates 5 of different lengths and having a wide range of applications.
[0046] Furthermore, the diameter of the second nut 9 is larger than the diameter of the circular hole on the support frame 1 for mounting the rotating rod 2 , which can prevent the second nut 9 from escaping from the circular hole and achieve a better limiting effect.
[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0048] First, the distance between the connecting plate 3 and the supporting frame 1 is adjusted according to the length of the glass substrate 5 , that is, the nut 9 is rotated to move it to a suitable position to meet the fixing requirements of the glass substrate 5 of the length.
[0049] Next, one of the pressing plates 45 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 41, and the glass substrate 5 is placed on the pressing plate 45. The screw 43 of the other pressing plate 45 is passed through the slide groove 42 on the fixing plate 41, and the screw 43 is slid up and down along the slide groove 42, so that the pressing plate 45 is pressed on the glass substrate 5. Then, the position of the pressing plate 45 is fixed using a nut 44, and the fixing of the glass substrate 5 is finally completed.
[0050] After the inspection of the upper surface of the glass substrate 5 is completed, the turntable 62 is rotated so that the through hole 9 on the turntable 62 is aligned with the limiting hole 64 directly below the rotating rod 2, and then the limiting rod 61 is sequentially passed through the through hole 9 and the limiting hole 64 to limit the position of the glass substrate 5, thereby realizing the flipping operation of the glass substrate 5, and the operation method is simple.
[0051] The technical effect of the embodiment of the utility model is that the glass substrate inspection support device can not only realize the rapid flipping of the glass substrate, reduce the workload of workers, save labor costs, and improve the efficiency of glass substrate inspection, but also has a good fixing effect on the glass substrate, enhances the stability and reliability of the glass substrate inspection process, and ensures the normal progress of the glass substrate inspection work.
