Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass slide cleaning technology, and in particular to a glass slide cleaning fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Glass coating is an important surface treatment technology that improves the performance and function of glass by coating one or more thin films onto the glass surface. Before coating, the cleanliness of the glass surface must be ensured to guarantee the stability of the film layer, which means that the glass surface needs to be cleaned and dried.

[0003] In related technologies, glass is usually placed in a cleaning fixture. However, to ensure the stability of glass cleaning, the base is usually designed as a V-shaped groove or trapezoidal groove. However, after ultrasonic cleaning, pure water will remain in the recessed area where the product contacts the fixture. After evaporation, the pure water at the bottom evaporates, leaving watermarks on the glass surface. After coating, the watermarks are covered at the bottom of the film layer, and the film layer does not adhere firmly and falls off, resulting in product defects. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a glass slide cleaning fixture that can solve the problem in related technologies where watermarks are covered at the bottom of the film layer after coating, and the film layer is not firmly attached and falls off, resulting in product defects.

[0005] This application provides a glass slide cleaning fixture, including:

[0006] The cleaning baskets form a cleaning chamber;

[0007] A base, connected to the cleaning basket and located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber, extends along a first direction and has a supporting arc surface that protrudes from the cleaning chamber; and

[0008] Multiple clamping mechanisms are disposed within the cleaning chamber and form multiple clamping cavities, the clamping cavities extending along a second direction, and the multiple clamping cavities being spaced apart along the first direction;

[0009] Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] In some embodiments, the base is cylindrical.

[0011] In some embodiments, the cleaning basket includes two side plates spaced apart and opposite to each other along a first direction, and the two ends of the clamping mechanism are detachably connected to the corresponding side plates.

[0012] In some embodiments, two sets of clamping mechanisms are included, the two sets of clamping mechanisms being distributed at depth intervals along the cleaning chamber.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least one first connecting groove is provided on the side plate, the at least one first connecting groove is distributed at intervals along the second direction, and the first connecting groove extends along the third direction. The clamping mechanism located at the upper end of the two sets of clamping mechanisms is connected to the first connecting groove through a connector.

[0014] Wherein, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0015] In some embodiments, at least one second connecting groove is provided on the side plate, the at least one second connecting groove is spaced apart along a third direction, and the second connecting groove extends along a second direction, and the clamping mechanism located at the lower end of the two sets of clamping mechanisms is connected to the second connecting groove by a connector.

[0016] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping members, which are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other along a third direction. Each clamping member includes a clamping body and connecting portions located at both ends of the clamping body. The clamping body has a plurality of grooves, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The connecting portions can extend into the first connecting groove or the second connecting groove, and the connecting members are detachably connected to the connecting portions.

[0017] Based on the glass slide cleaning fixture of this application embodiment, the cleaning basket surrounds the cleaning cavity. Multiple clamping cavities formed by multiple clamping mechanisms can clamp the side edges of the glass slide, while the supporting arc surface of the base can support the glass slide. The supporting arc surface protrudes into the cleaning cavity, so that under the action of gravity, water can fall along the arc surface, reducing the probability of water remaining on the bottom of the glass slide and forming watermarks. On the other hand, the contact area between the supporting arc surface and the glass slide is relatively small, making it difficult to form watermarks on the bottom surface of the glass slide.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0028] In related technologies, glass is usually placed in a cleaning fixture. However, to ensure the stability of glass cleaning, the base is usually designed as a V-shaped groove or trapezoidal groove. However, after ultrasonic cleaning, pure water will remain in the recessed area where the product contacts the fixture. After evaporation, the pure water at the bottom evaporates, leaving watermarks on the glass surface. After coating, the watermarks are covered at the bottom of the film layer, and the film layer does not adhere firmly and falls off, resulting in product defects.

[0029] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a glass slide cleaning fixture. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1-3 It includes a cleaning basket 10, a base 20, and multiple clamping mechanisms 30.

[0030] The cleaning basket 10 forms a cleaning chamber 10a. The cleaning basket 10 can be made of stainless steel, copper, or other alloys to ensure the structural strength of the cleaning basket 10. The upper and lower ends of the cleaning chamber 10a are open structures, which facilitates the injection and discharge of cleaning fluid and ensures smooth water flow without dead corners during the cleaning process. In addition, the cleaning fluid can flow fully in the cleaning chamber 10a and make full contact with the surface of the glass slide, thereby effectively removing stains and impurities.

[0031] Multiple clamping mechanisms 30 are disposed in the cleaning chamber 10a and form multiple clamping cavities. The multiple clamping cavities can extend along the second direction YY and be distributed at intervals along the first direction XX. Each clamping cavity is used to clamp a glass sheet. In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 30 is mainly used to clamp the side edge of the glass. Multiple clamping mechanisms 30 form a row, and multiple rows of clamping mechanisms 30 can be provided to achieve the clamping of a batch of glass sheets.

[0032] The base 20 is connected to the cleaning basket 10 and located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 10a. The base 20 extends along the first direction XX and has a supporting arc surface that protrudes from the cleaning chamber 10a. The base 20 can cooperate with the clamping mechanism 30 so that the supporting arc surface can support the bottom edge of the glass. Because the supporting arc surface is curved, when the cleaning fluid flows over the supporting arc surface, the arc surface design makes the water flow smoother, reducing the probability of water remaining on the bottom of the glass sheet and forming watermarks. At the same time, the contact area between the supporting arc surface and the glass sheet is relatively small, reducing the contact area of ​​water on the glass sheet, further reducing the possibility of watermark formation, thereby improving the adhesion of the film coating and improving the product yield.

[0033] Since the cleaning fluid or pure water in this embodiment needs to fall from the glass sheet and the supporting arc surface under the action of gravity, in this embodiment, the second direction YY is the direction of gravity and also the height direction of the glass, and the first direction XX can be the thickness direction of the glass sheet, and the direction of gravity is perpendicular to the thickness direction.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2. In one embodiment of this application, the base 20 is cylindrical, which makes the base 20 easier to process and manufacture, thereby reducing costs. When the base 20 is cylindrical, the cross-section of the base 20 is circular. Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross-section of the base 20 may also be elliptical or other curved shapes, which will not be explained further here.

[0035] Furthermore, the cleaning basket 10 includes two side plates 11 spaced apart and arranged opposite each other along the first direction XX. The two ends of the clamping mechanism 30 are detachably connected to the corresponding side plates 11. The detachable connection between the clamping mechanism 30 and the side plates 11 allows the user to easily disassemble the clamping mechanism 30 for separate cleaning or maintenance after cleaning the product. This helps to maintain the hygiene of the cleaning basket 10 and the clamping mechanism 30, extend their service life, and reduce the risk of secondary contamination caused by residual stains or bacteria.

[0036] On the other hand, by being detachable, different models of clamping mechanisms 30 can be replaced, which changes the space of the clamping cavity, thereby enabling the clamping of glass sheets of different thicknesses.

[0037] Please see Figure 3The glass slide cleaning fixture in this embodiment includes two sets of clamping mechanisms 30. The two sets of clamping mechanisms 30 are distributed at intervals along the depth of the cleaning chamber 10a. The two sets of clamping mechanisms 30 can provide multi-point support for the glass slide, which can ensure the stability of the glass slide during cleaning. It is understood that in some other embodiments, three or four sets may also be included, all of which are distributed at intervals along the depth of the cleaning chamber 10a, which can improve the stability of the glass slide cleaning.

[0038] To improve the versatility of the entire cleaning fixture, i.e., to enable it to clamp glass slides of different sizes within a certain range, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 In one embodiment of this application, at least one first connecting groove 11a is provided on the side plate 11. The at least one first connecting groove 11a is distributed at intervals along the second direction YY and extends along the third direction ZZ. The clamping mechanism 30 located at the upper end of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 30 is detachably connected to the first connecting groove 11a through a connector. The clamping mechanism 30 can be detached and installed relative to the side plate 11 through the connector, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism 30. The first direction XX, the second direction YY and the third direction ZZ are perpendicular to each other.

[0039] By moving the clamping mechanism 30 on the first connecting groove 11a, the width of the entire clamping cavity can be adjusted to accommodate glass sheets of different widths. When multiple first connecting grooves 11a are provided, since the multiple first connecting grooves 11a are distributed at intervals along the second direction YY, the height of the upper clamping mechanism 30 can be adjusted to accommodate glass sheets of different heights, ensuring the stability of clamping different glass sheets within a certain range.

[0040] It is understood that the first connecting groove 11a can be provided with two, three, four, etc. In some embodiments, both sets of clamping mechanisms 30 can be provided on the first connecting groove 11a and correspondingly provided on the first connecting groove 11a at two different heights. For example, when there are four first connecting grooves 11a, one set of clamping mechanisms 30 can be provided on one of them, and the other set of clamping mechanisms 30 can be provided on any one of the remaining three. In this way, it can also adapt to glass sheets of different heights and widths within a certain range.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 1 At least one second connecting groove 11b is provided on the side plate 11. The at least one second connecting groove 11b is distributed at intervals along the third direction ZZ and extends along the second direction YY. The clamping mechanism 30 located at the lower end of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 30 is detachably connected to the second connecting groove 11b through a connector.

[0042] That is, the second connecting groove 11b is distributed vertically, that is, along the height direction of the glass sheet. By using the lower clamping mechanism 30 at different positions of the second connecting groove 11b, glass sheets of different heights can be stably clamped within a certain range. It should be understood that when the upper clamping mechanism 30 slides along the first connecting groove 11a to clamp glass sheets of different widths, the lower clamping mechanism 30 needs to be installed on different second connecting grooves 11b to maintain consistency with the upper clamping mechanism 30.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 3 The clamping mechanism 30 includes two clamping members 31, which are spaced apart and arranged opposite each other along a third direction ZZ. Each clamping member 31 includes a clamping body 311 and a connecting part 312 located at both ends of the clamping body 311. The clamping body 311 has a plurality of grooves 311a, which are spaced apart along a first direction XX. The connecting part 312 can extend into a first connecting groove 11a or a second connecting groove 11b. The connecting member and the connecting part 312 are detachably connected.

[0044] The grooves 311a on the two clamping members 31 can hold the side edge of the glass sheet along the width direction (third direction ZZ), thereby ensuring the stability of the glass sheet.

[0045] In this embodiment, the connecting part 312 can be a screw, and the connecting member is a nut. The screw can extend out of the first connecting groove 11a and the second connecting groove 11b, and the nut can be threaded with the screw to lock the connecting part 312 relative to the side plate 11. Of course, the nut can be combined with a washer or other structure to increase the fastening force.

[0046] Thus, when there are two sets of clamping mechanisms 30, the upper clamping mechanism 30 is defined as the first clamping mechanism 30, and the lower clamping mechanism 30 is defined as the second clamping mechanism 30. The two clamping members 31 in the first clamping mechanism 30 can be relatively close or far apart in the first connecting groove 11a through the connecting part 312 and the connecting member, so as to adapt to glass of different widths within a certain specification. Of course, by tilting the clamping member 31, the first clamping mechanism 30 can be removed from the first connecting groove 11a and installed in another first connecting groove 11a, so as to adapt to glass of different heights within a certain specification.

[0047] Under the action of the connecting part 312 and the connecting member, the two clamping members 31 in the second clamping mechanism 30 can be relatively close or far apart in the second connecting groove 11b, thereby adapting to glass of different heights within a certain specification. Of course, the clamping members 31 can also be removed from the second connecting groove 11b and installed in another second connecting groove 11b, thereby adapting to glass of different heights within a certain specification.

[0048] In other implementations, when both the first clamping mechanism 30 and the second clamping mechanism 30 are installed in the first connecting groove 11a, the base 20 can be detachably connected to the second connecting groove 11b. That is, both ends of the base 20 also have connecting parts 312, and are detachably connected to the second connecting groove 11b through connectors. In this way, the first clamping mechanism 30 and the second clamping mechanism 30 can be used only to adjust the width, while the base 20 can be used to adjust the height, thereby enabling quick clamping of glass sheets of different specifications within a certain range.
