Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass cleaning, specifically to a self-cleaning dimming glass. Background Art
[0002] Smart glass switches between transparent and opaque states using various methods such as electronic control, temperature control, light control, and pressure control. Due to various limitations, almost all mass-produced smart glass on the market is electronically controlled. When the power is turned off, the liquid crystal molecules inside the glass are irregularly dispersed, preventing light from entering and making the glass opaque. After the production of smart glass, the surface needs to be cleaned. Currently, cleaning the surface of smart glass usually involves cleaning workers wiping the glass surface with a cloth, which is not only time-consuming and laborious but also slow and inefficient. Therefore, a self-cleaning smart glass is needed. Utility Model Content

[0019] Example
[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 A self-cleaning dimming glass includes a dimming glass body 1 and a cleaning frame 2. The cleaning frame 2 has multiple sets of support legs at its bottom end. It also includes a cleaning assembly for cleaning the dimming glass. The cleaning assembly includes two sets of slide rails 3, a moving plate 4, a cleaning plate 5, a scraper 6, a mounting plate 7, and a multi-stage electric cylinder 8. The mounting plate 7 is mounted on the rear end of the cleaning frame 2, and the multi-stage electric cylinder 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 7. The two sets of slide rails 3 are respectively installed on the left and right sides inside the cleaning frame 2. The left and right sides of the moving plate 4 are slidably connected to the two sets of slide rails 3 respectively. The output end of the multi-stage electric cylinder 8 is connected to the rear end of the moving plate 4. The cleaning plate 5 is mounted on the bottom end of the moving plate 4, and multiple sets of cleaning brushes 9 are provided at the bottom end of the cleaning plate 5. The scraper 6 is mounted on the moving plate 4... The bottom of plate 4 is located behind the cleaning plate 5; it also includes a placement component, which is installed inside the cleaning frame 2 and is used to place the dimming glass body 1; the dimming glass body 1 is placed on the placement component and stabilized, and then the multi-stage electric cylinder 8 is energized to start the multi-stage electric cylinder 8. The multi-stage electric cylinder 8 pushes the moving plate 4 to slide on the two sets of slide rails 3 and move it towards the dimming glass. The cleaning brush 9 on the cleaning plate 5 cleans the stains on the dimming glass, and then the cleaning stains are scraped off by the scraper 6. Therefore, a self-cleaning dimming glass is provided, which can clean the glass surface after the glass is produced, and can achieve the purpose of saving time and effort and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 The placement assembly includes two sets of placement rods 10 and two sets of limiting plates 11. Both sets of placement rods 10 are installed in the front area of the bottom end inside the cleaning frame 2. The two sets of limiting plates 11 are respectively installed on the top of the two sets of placement rods 10. The dimming glass body 1 is placed on the two sets of placement rods 10, and the front and rear ends of the dimming glass are slidably attached to the inner ends of the two sets of limiting plates 11. The dimming glass body 1 is placed between the two sets of placement rods 10, and the dimming glass body 1 is limited by the two sets of limiting plates 11.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3It also includes a water tank 12, a water pump 13, a hose 14, and a connecting pipe 15. The water tank 12 and the water pump 13 are both installed at the top of the cleaning frame 2. The output end of the water tank 12 is connected to the input end of the water pump 13. The connecting pipe 15 is installed at the bottom of the moving plate 4 and located in front of the cleaning plate 5. The input end of the connecting pipe 15 is connected to the output end of the water pump 13 through the hose 14. Multiple sets of nozzles are provided at the bottom end of the connecting pipe 15. When the water pump 13 is powered on, the water pump 13 starts. The water tank 12 contains cleaning liquid, which enters the connecting pipe 15 and is sprayed onto the surface of the dimming glass body 1 through the nozzles. Spraying the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the dimming glass body 1 makes it easier and more thorough for the cleaning brush to clean surface stains.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 A water collection tank 16 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning frame 2, and the water collection tank 16 is located below the dimming glass; the cleaning liquid left behind can be collected through the water collection tank 16.
