Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass substrate production and processing equipment, specifically a water-blocking roller height adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] During the cleaning process, the glass substrate passes through several tanks containing cleaning agents to remove dirt from the glass surface. A set of water-blocking rollers is installed at both ends of each cleaning agent tank to squeeze out excess cleaning agent from the glass surface, ensuring the agent circulates within the tank.

[0003] Water-blocking rollers typically use sponge rollers. After prolonged use, these sponge rollers experience wear and tear, resulting in a reduction in their outer diameter. This leads to poor compression of the liquid on the glass surface, causing a decrease in water-blocking effectiveness. Consequently, an unspecified amount of liquid carries the liquid to subsequent chambers, resulting in liquid waste and increased production costs per piece. The usual solution is to replace the sponge rollers with a new set, but this further increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-blocking roller height adjustment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A water-blocking roller height adjustment device includes two fixed bases arranged opposite each other. Each of the two fixed bases is provided with a lower bearing seat, and an upper bearing seat is provided above each of the two lower bearing seats. A lower sponge roller is rotatably connected between the two lower bearing seats, and an upper sponge roller is rotatably connected between the two upper bearing seats. The upper sponge roller and the lower sponge roller cooperate to squeeze off the liquid on the surface of the glass substrate.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper sponge roller and the lower sponge roller are arranged opposite to each other, and a gap is reserved between them. The gap is a working area for freely passing through the glass substrate. The distance between the upper sponge roller and the lower sponge roller is adjustable, which is used to apply different pressures to the glass substrate and squeeze off the liquid on the surface of the glass substrate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two fastening bolts and two adjusting bolts are provided between the fixed base and the lower bearing seat, and between the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat. Multiple adjusting bolts cooperate to adjust the distance between the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat, and multiple fastening bolts cooperate to connect and fix the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat with the adjusted distance on the fixed base.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper sponge roller includes an upper sponge roller cylinder and an upper roller shaft, the upper sponge roller cylinder is sleeved on the upper roller shaft, and the upper roller shaft is rotatably connected between the two upper bearing seats; the lower sponge roller includes a lower sponge roller cylinder and a lower roller shaft, the lower sponge roller cylinder is sleeved on the lower roller shaft, and the lower roller shaft is rotatably connected between the two lower bearing seats.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a driven gear is sleeved and fixed at one end of the upper roller shaft, and a driving gear is sleeved and fixed at one end of the lower roller shaft. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh and drive each other, and a clearance is reserved between them for fine adjustment of the distance between the two gears. Both the driving gear and the driven gear are detachable.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat are provided with bearing grooves, both bearing grooves penetrate the inner walls of the corresponding upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat, and bearings are installed in both bearing grooves. The upper roller shaft and the lower roller shaft are rotatably connected between the upper and lower bearing seats through the corresponding bearings.

[0012] As a further improvement of this invention, both of the fixed bases are connected to the cleaning equipment by welding.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0014] In this invention, the height of the upper and lower bearing seats can be adjusted separately by using adjusting bolts and fastening bolts. By adjusting the height of the upper and lower bearing seats, the distance between them can be changed. When the bearing seats move up and down, they drive the sponge rollers rotatably connected between them to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper and lower sponge rollers. By changing the distance between the upper and lower sponge rollers, the glass substrate can be subjected to different squeezing forces when passing between them. The greater the squeezing force, the more thoroughly the residual liquid on the surface of the glass substrate is removed. In addition, when the outer diameter of the sponge roller shrinks after long-term use, changing the distance between the upper and lower sponge rollers allows the shrunken sponge roller to continue to be used, maintaining its water-blocking effect and preventing waste of cleaning agents and spare sponge roller parts, thereby achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
