Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glass chemical strengthening, and more specifically, to a device for glass chemical strengthening. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the devices used in the industry for simultaneously accommodating the glass to be strengthened and additives generally include a basket, a detachable tempering frame placed on the basket for accommodating the glass to be strengthened, and a carrier for accommodating the additives. The carrier includes a mesh box for accommodating the additives, which is generally in the shape of a regular rectangular parallelepiped. During strengthening, the additives need to be placed in the mesh box, which can easily cause the additives to accumulate in the mesh box, preventing the additives from fully contacting and reacting with the salt bath. This results in the additive stack being too thick, so the amount of additives spread out in the mesh box each time is very limited, and the strengthening capacity is very limited. In order to ensure the strengthening capacity of the salt bath, the number of times the additives are replaced has to be increased, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the glass strengthening operation.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0028] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed on" or "disposed on" another component, it may be located directly or indirectly on the other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it may be directly or indirectly connected to the other component. The directions or positions indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positions shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as limitations on this technical solution. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features. "Multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a glass chemical strengthening apparatus comprising a basket 10 and an additive cage 20 disposed at the bottom of the basket. A stirring mechanism 200 is disposed within the additive cage 20. The stirring mechanism 200 within the additive cage stirs the additive, ensuring sufficient contact and reaction between the additive and the salt bath. This improves the efficiency of the additive during the glass strengthening process, reduces the number of additive replacements required, and reduces both the labor intensity (due to the high volume and weight of strengthening agents used in glass strengthening, and the high temperatures involved) and the cost of the glass strengthening process. Because the basket and additive cage are separately disposed, the basket can be replaced without moving the additive cage, facilitating basket replacement.

[0031] In one implementation of the present application, the stirring mechanism 200 can be set in multiple numbers, such as four in parallel, to improve the stirring efficiency. At the same time, the rotation directions of the four stirring mechanisms can be controlled. By using different rotation directions, turbulence can be formed inside the additive box, which can effectively prevent the accumulation of additives.

[0032] It should be noted that a fixing portion (such as a fixing portion) for fixing the stirring mechanism is provided inside the additive net box 20. Figure 3 The stirring mechanism can be set up in the additive cage by setting a fixing part (the annular component arranged on the cage body 210). A power mechanism (not shown) such as a motor or other power mechanism is provided at one end of the stirring mechanism 200 to provide power for the rotation of the stirring mechanism 200.

[0033] In one implementation of this application, Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the stirring mechanism includes: a stirring screw 201, and a screw blade 202 is provided on the stirring screw 201. For example, a fixing portion with a bearing can be provided on the side of the additive net box, one end of the stirring screw 201 is connected to the bearing, and the other end of the stirring screw 201 is connected to the differential 203 (it should be noted that Figure 3 The vertical rotating shaft shown in the figure can also be set horizontally as needed).

[0034] As another implementation, the stirring rod may be provided with a plurality of stirring teeth (maces) for use with flaky chemical enhancers, because a spiral-shaped stirring mechanism has low stirring efficiency and poor stirring effect when used with flaky chemical enhancers.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, the additive cage 20 includes: a cage body 210, with a first mesh partition disposed on the bottom and sidewalls of the cage body 210; a top and bottom cover 220, disposed over the opening of the cage body 210 and detachably connected to the cage body 210; and a second mesh partition 221 disposed on the top and bottom cover 220. It should be noted that the first and second mesh partitions herein may be holes punched in a stainless steel plate or may refer to a screen. In this application, a screen with a certain mesh size is preferably used, and the mesh size may range from 1 to 100, with the specific mesh size selected based on actual usage.

[0036] Specifically, if Figures 3 to 5As shown, the net box body 210 includes a first frame 212, a support member 213, and a second frame 214. One end of the support member 213 is fixed to the first frame 212, and the other end is fixed to the second frame 214. The support member 213 is perpendicular to the first frame 212 and the second frame 214, respectively. The first mesh partition is fixed outside the area enclosed by the first frame 212 and the support member 213. Stepped structures 2120 are provided at each of the four corners of the first frame 212. Each stepped structure 2120 is composed of rectangular blocks, each having a width equal to the thickness of the frame. The top and bottom cover 220 is square in shape, with the stepped structures provided at each of the four corners. L-shaped locking portions 2140 are provided on the inner sides of the four corners of the second frame 214 to mate with the stepped structures. The top and bottom cover is provided with multiple plug-in components 222 for securing to the net box body. The plug-in parts 222 refer to a plurality of cylindrical or rod-shaped components provided on the top and bottom covers 220. When they are cylindrical, a rod adapted thereto is provided on the net box body 210. When they are rod-shaped, a cylinder adapted thereto is provided on the net box body 210. The provision of the plug-in parts can not only fix the top and bottom covers 220 but also provide support. The stepped structure is used in conjunction with the L-shaped snap-fit ​​portion to fix the top and bottom covers, thereby preventing the top and bottom covers from shifting during use and additives from flowing in and out of the net box. In other words, the additive net box 20 can be regarded as a box with a lid, and the lid can be opened from the top. Through holes for the passage of additives are provided on the bottom, side walls and lid of the box. The aperture and arrangement of the through holes can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here. It should be noted that the first frame 212 is welded from a number of stainless steels of different sizes. The side-by-side stainless steel pipes welded on the first frame strengthen the overall structure.

[0037] In one implementation of this application, Figure 3 As shown, the additive net box 20 is in the shape of a flat rectangular parallelepiped, and a lifting portion 230 for lifting is provided at the four corners of the additive net box 20. The lifting portion 230 refers to the area reserved between the first frame and the second frame at the corner of the additive net box for cooperating with the fastener 100 provided on the basket. By providing the lifting portion 230 at the four corners of the additive net box 20 to cooperate with the fastener 100, it is possible to connect the basket 10 and the additive net box 20 together and make the entire structure more compact. As a way of implementing the connection between the basket 10 and the additive net box 20, a plurality of hanging ears or snap-fit ​​structures (not shown) can be provided on the additive net box 20.

[0038] In one implementation of this application, Figure 2 The basket 10 is a frame structure with a horizontal partition 110 disposed within it for placing the glass to be tempered. The number of layers of the horizontal partition 110 can be adjusted as needed, but should generally be at least four. Glass shelves can be placed above the horizontal partition 110, and the glass to be tempered can be placed on the glass shelves. A lifting rod 120 is provided at the top of the basket, and a lifting device can cooperate with the lifting rod to lift the basket. The basket can be made of stainless steel.

[0039] A plurality of fasteners 100 are provided on the basket 10 for fixing the basket 10 to the additive net box. One end of the fastener is pivotally connected to the basket (e.g., a groove is provided at the corner of the upper part of the basket, one end of the fastener is hung in the groove, and the fastener can rotate in the groove), and the other end is fastened to the pulling part. The basket is connected to the additive net box through the plurality of fasteners. It should be noted that the fastener can be designed to have an openable structure at one end originally hung in the groove according to actual needs, that is, the end of the fastener hung in the groove can be opened to separate the basket and the additive net box, and the basket can be operated separately. This enables the basket to be operated separately without moving the additive net box.

[0040] Exemplarily, the fasteners 100 are provided in four numbers (matching the lifting part), and the movable end of the fastener 100 is provided with a hook, which can be hooked on the lifting part. The fastener can be pivotally connected to one end of the basket 10 as a fulcrum and rotated relative to the outside of the basket to achieve the fastening of the basket and the additive box.

[0041] In summary, the present application provides a glass chemical strengthening device comprising a basket and an additive cage. The additive cage is provided with a stirring mechanism for stirring the additives within the cage. Multiple stirring mechanisms are provided in parallel. The stirring of these multiple stirring mechanisms ensures sufficient contact and reaction between the additives within the additive cage and the salt bath, thereby improving the efficiency of additive use during the glass strengthening process, reducing the number of additive changes required, and lowering the labor intensity and cost of the glass strengthening operation.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
