[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate typical embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0020] Figure 1 The image shown is a schematic diagram of the front structure of a 3D glass cover plate suitable for automated 3D polishing process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the back structure of a 3D glass cover plate suitable for automated 3D polishing processes, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the 3D glass cover plate applicable to automated 3D polishing processes provided by this utility model includes a hard plastic component and a soft plastic component. The hard plastic component includes a hard plastic component body 110, a first hard plastic column 120, a second hard plastic column 130, a mounting groove 140, and multiple adhesive-pulling holes. An identification unit 1201 is formed inside the first hard plastic column 120. The soft plastic component includes an adhesive-flowing unit 210, a first soft plastic column 220, a second soft plastic column 230, and multiple adhesive-pulling components. A first mounting hole 2201 is provided at the center of the first soft plastic column 220, and a second mounting hole 2301 is provided at the center of the second soft plastic column 230. The shapes of the first mounting hole 2201 and the second mounting hole 2301 are respectively adapted to the shapes of the first hard plastic column 120 and the second hard plastic column 130, so that the first hard plastic column 120 and the second hard plastic column 130 are respectively installed in the first mounting hole 2201 and the second mounting hole 2301; the shapes of the plurality of adhesive-pulling holes are adapted to the shapes of the plurality of adhesive-pulling parts, so that the plurality of adhesive-pulling parts are installed in the plurality of adhesive-pulling holes; the shape of the mounting groove 140 is adapted to the shape of the adhesive-flowing unit 210, so that the adhesive-flowing unit 210 is installed in the mounting groove 140. Therefore, in use, the automated equipment can automatically identify and distinguish the first hard plastic column and the second hard plastic column by recognizing the recognition unit on the front of the cover plate.

[0021] The diameters of the first rigid plastic column 120 and the second rigid plastic column 130 differ by only 0.2 mm, and their positions are axially symmetrical. Therefore, installing the cover plate backwards will cause the glass to break. In this embodiment, through the identification unit within the rigid plastic assembly, automated equipment can identify the relative positions of the first and second rigid plastic columns. This design greatly reduces human intervention and avoids production defects or waste caused by operational errors. Automated equipment can quickly adjust the processing flow based on the identification results without human intervention, significantly shortening the production cycle.

[0022] Figure 3 The image shown is a front structural schematic diagram of a rigid adhesive assembly for a 3D glass cover plate suitable for automated 3D polishing processes, provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the back structure of a rigid adhesive assembly for a 3D glass cover plate suitable for automated 3D polishing processes, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first hard plastic column 120 and the second hard plastic column 130 are symmetrically protruding from the top surface of the hard plastic component body 110, the mounting groove 140 is formed on the bottom surface of the hard plastic component body 110, and the plurality of glue-pulling holes are formed on the bottom surface of the hard plastic component body 110. By symmetrically protruding the first and second hard plastic columns from the top surface of the hard plastic component body, it can be ensured that the pressure or support force is evenly distributed during use, so that the soft plastic component can be stably connected and work. Especially in automated production, it ensures the symmetry and balance of the entire system and avoids insufficient or uneven support on any side, which would affect the operational accuracy. By connecting the mounting groove on the bottom surface of the hard plastic component body with the glue-flowing unit in the soft plastic component, it is ensured that the soft plastic component can be tightly and stably fixed to the hard plastic component. Multiple adhesive-pulling holes are inserted between the top and bottom surfaces of the rigid rubber component body to connect and fix the adhesive-pulling component, ensuring a firm connection between the adhesive-pulling component and the rigid rubber component body during use, preventing adhesive leakage or loosening of the soft rubber component, and improving the stability and sealing of the overall device.

[0023] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the identification unit 1201 adopts a Y-shaped skeletal structure, that is, the arrangement of the identification unit inside the rigid plastic column presents a "Y" shape. This design can enhance the multi-angle scanning capability of the identification unit, improve the accuracy of automated equipment in identifying the first and second rigid plastic columns of the 3D glass cover, thereby effectively improving the level of intelligence in the production process.

[0024] Furthermore, in the 3D glass cover plate applicable to automated 3D polishing process provided by this utility model, the plurality of adhesive-pulling holes include a first adhesive-pulling hole 1501, a second adhesive-pulling hole 1502, a third adhesive-pulling hole 1503, a fourth adhesive-pulling hole 1504, a fifth adhesive-pulling hole 1505, and a sixth adhesive-pulling hole 1506. The fifth adhesive-pulling hole 1505 and the sixth adhesive-pulling hole 1506 are located in the mounting groove 140, which is a T-groove. In this embodiment, a total of six adhesive-pulling holes (first adhesive-pulling hole 1501, second adhesive-pulling hole 1502, third adhesive-pulling hole 1503, fourth adhesive-pulling hole 1504, fifth adhesive-pulling hole 1505, and sixth adhesive-pulling hole 1506) are designed on the top surface of the rigid adhesive component body, ensuring the uniformity and symmetry of the adhesive-pulling hole distribution, thereby helping to ensure a tight connection between the rigid adhesive component and the soft adhesive component and preventing loosening or uneven stress during use. By reducing the number of adhesive holes in each hard rubber column from four to three, the area of ​​the soft rubber groove on the back of the cover plate can be effectively increased, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the soft rubber component and reducing problems such as insecure fixing or falling off due to insufficient contact area.

[0025] Figure 5The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a soft rubber assembly for a 3D glass cover plate suitable for automated 3D polishing processes, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 5 As shown, the first soft rubber column 220 and the second soft rubber column 230 are connected by the glue-flowing unit 210. A plurality of glue-pulling components protrude from the first soft rubber column 220 and the second soft rubber column 230, respectively. The plurality of glue-pulling components are conical, including a first glue-pulling component 2401, a second glue-pulling component 2402, a third glue-pulling component 2403, and a fourth glue-pulling component 2404. The first glue-pulling component 2401, the second glue-pulling component 2402, the third glue-pulling component 2403, and the fourth glue-pulling component 2404 are respectively held in the first glue-pulling hole 1501, the second glue-pulling hole 1502, the third glue-pulling hole 1503, and the fourth glue-pulling hole 1504. In this embodiment, the glue-flowing unit achieves a tight connection between the two soft rubber columns, ensuring a stable connection and preventing them from easily detaching. The multiple tapered pullers allow the pullers to effectively enter the pull holes, generating stronger holding force to ensure a more secure and stable fixation of the soft rubber column to the hard rubber assembly. The tapered pullers also possess strong self-locking capabilities, better adapting to the shape of the pull holes during assembly and reducing the risk of loosening.
