Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UTG glass product manufacturing technology, and in particular to a UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame. Background Technology

[0002] Ordinary glass is a brittle material, but when the glass thickness is ≤100μm, it becomes flexible and can be bent and rolled, hence the name flexible glass. Ultra-thin glass (UTG) retains many of the advantages of glass while being thin, light, and bendable, making it one of the main materials for manufacturing foldable screens. UTG has wide applications in foldable screens, and major technology manufacturers both domestically and internationally are investing heavily in its research and production.

[0003] UTG glass liquid polishing refers to immersing a relatively thick glass substrate (usually 0.1 to 0.6 mm thick) in a pre-prepared acidic or alkaline chemical solution to reduce the glass thickness and obtain UTG glass with a thickness of ≤100 μm.

[0004] Currently, UTG glass liquid polishing involves directly inserting the glass into the polishing frame. While this method is relatively quick and simple, it presents several problems when the glass thickness is ≤100μm, as the glass is not protected or secured around its edges. Without a protective frame, the following issues typically arise during production: 1. When the glass thickness is ≤100μm, the lack of protection and securing around its edges makes it prone to bending and tilting, leading to breakage and significantly impacting the yield rate of UTG glass liquid polishing. 2. During the polishing process, the polishing frame experiences resistance from the polishing fluid. Since the glass is only secured on both sides of the frame, it bends and tilts towards the side subjected to the force. If this bending and tilting reaches a certain point, the glass may fall out of the frame and break. 3. After polishing, the faster the frame is lifted, the more uniform the thickness becomes; conversely, a slower lifting speed results in greater thickness variations. Without a protective frame, the lifting speed must be set very slowly; lifting too quickly will cause the glass to tip over and break. Therefore, the lack of a fixed frame for protection will affect the uniformity of the UTG glass thickness and greatly affect the quality of the UTG glass; 4. Due to its own characteristics, the glass will bend and tilt, which can easily cause the glass to break.

[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this invention is to address the problem that the lack of a fixed frame for liquid polishing of UTG glass affects the production yield and quality of the UTG glass, and to provide a fixed frame for liquid polishing of UTG glass.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame, including a bottom fixing component, a top fixing component, and a locking component. The bottom fixing component and the top fixing component are locked together by the locking component. The bottom fixing component includes two first bottom fixing frames and two second bottom fixing frames, which are disposed between the two parallel first bottom fixing frames. The upper surface of the first bottom fixing frames has a bottom fixing groove. The top fixing component includes two first top fixing frames and two second top fixing frames, which are disposed between the two parallel first top fixing frames. The upper surface of the first top fixing frames has a top fixing boss, which is adapted to the bottom fixing groove.

[0008] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, a plurality of bottom drain protrusions are provided at intervals on the second bottom fixing frame, and a plurality of bottom drain grooves are defined between the plurality of bottom drain protrusions.

[0009] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, a plurality of top drain protrusions are provided at intervals on the second top fixing frame, and a plurality of top drain grooves are defined between the plurality of top drain protrusions. The shape of the top drain protrusions is adapted to the shape of the bottom drain protrusions.

[0010] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, a bottom locking connector is also provided on the second bottom fixing frame, and a top locking connector is also provided on the second top fixing frame. The locking assembly is locked on the bottom locking connector and the top locking connector.

[0011] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, the locking assembly includes a handle and two locking holes disposed at both ends of the handle, and the bottom locking connector and the top locking connector are locked in the locking holes.

[0012] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, the two first bottom fixing frames and the two second bottom fixing frames form a bottom glass bearing area, and the side of the first bottom fixing frame facing away from the bottom glass bearing area is an inclined surface.

[0013] In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, the two first top fixing frames and the two second top fixing frames form a top glass bearing area, and the side of the first top fixing frame facing away from the top glass bearing area is an inclined surface.

[0014] The UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model, the four sides of the UTG glass can be firmly fixed within the frame through the bottom fixing component and the top fixing component, providing full support for the glass within the frame and preventing tilting or displacement of the glass during liquid polishing; the bottom and top components are tightly connected by the locking component, ensuring that the two parts of the frame will not loosen or separate during use. The locking structure has a good locking effect, preventing the frame from loosening during production and further enhancing the fixing effect; with the support of the bottom and top fixing components, the glass will not tilt or misalign, reducing the risk of breakage; since the UTG glass will not shift or break during liquid polishing, the amount of waste caused by glass damage during production can be reduced, thus effectively improving the production yield.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 7 The diagram shows the liquid polishing process using the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model includes a bottom fixing component 100, a top fixing component 200, and a locking component 300, wherein the bottom fixing component 100 and the top fixing component 200 are locked together by the locking component 300. Figure 7 As shown, in use, the UTG glass is installed into the bottom fixing component, ensuring it lies flat within the component. Then, the top fixing component is installed into the bottom fixing component, and the locking component is inserted into the locking points at both ends of the bottom and top fixing components to secure them. Subsequently, the locked UTG glass fixing frame is inserted into the liquid polishing frame. After loading, it can be placed in the liquid polishing tank for liquid polishing production. The UGT glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided in this embodiment uses the bottom and top fixing components to fix the four sides of the UTG glass within the frame, and then the locking components tightly lock the bottom and top fixing components together to prevent them from separating. The entire liquid polishing fixing frame is then inserted into the liquid polishing frame for liquid polishing. This protects the glass from tilting or breaking during liquid polishing, thereby improving the production yield of UGT glass liquid polishing.

[0026] This embodiment effectively and quickly securely fixes the four sides of the UTG glass within the frame using the bottom and top fixing components. The locking component quickly and effectively locks the bottom and top fixing components together, ensuring the UTG glass will not detach from the frame regardless of whether it is swung from any direction. The fixing frame for the UTG glass liquid polishing allows for increased liquid polishing speed, eliminating the need for slow and careful movement and preventing uneven thickness issues in the UTG glass, thus significantly improving the overall quality of the UTG glass.

[0027] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the bottom fixing component of a UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 As shown, the bottom fixing assembly 100 includes two first bottom fixing frames 110 and two second bottom fixing frames 120. The two second bottom fixing frames 120 are disposed between the two parallel first bottom fixing frames 110. Thus, the two first bottom fixing frames 110 and the two second bottom fixing frames 120 form a bottom glass bearing area, the size of which is adapted to the size of the UTG glass to be liquid polished. The upper surface of the first bottom fixing frame 110 has a bottom fixing groove 1101, in which both ends of the UTG glass are placed during use.

[0028] Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the top fixing component of a UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the top fixing assembly 200 includes two first top fixing frames 210 and two second top fixing frames 220. The two second top fixing frames 220 are disposed between the two parallel first top fixing frames 210, thereby forming a top glass bearing area. The size of the top glass bearing area is equal to the size of the bottom glass bearing area. The upper surface of the first top fixing frame 210 is provided with a top fixing boss 2101, which is adapted to the bottom fixing groove 1101. In use, after the UTG glass is installed into the bottom fixing assembly, the top fixing assembly is installed into the bottom fixing assembly so that the top fixing boss 2101 is embedded in the bottom fixing groove 1101, thereby firmly fixing the four sides of the UTG glass to the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom and top fixing components, through precise groove and boss engagement, firmly secure the four sides of the UTG glass, preventing displacement or detachment during liquid polishing. This ensures glass stability and reduces quality issues caused by movement. The stability of the fixing structure allows for smoother liquid polishing, reducing uneven glass surface thickness. This accelerates the liquid polishing process, saves production time, and improves the overall production line efficiency. A faster liquid polishing process and uniform glass fixation result in more stable final product quality, reducing defects caused by uneven liquid polishing or glass displacement, thus guaranteeing the surface quality of the glass.

[0030] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second bottom fixing frame 120 is provided with a plurality of bottom drainage protrusions 1201 spaced apart, and a plurality of bottom drainage grooves 1202 are defined between the plurality of bottom drainage protrusions 1201; the second top fixing frame 220 is provided with a plurality of top drainage protrusions 2201 spaced apart, and a plurality of top drainage grooves 2202 are defined between the plurality of top drainage protrusions 2201, the shape of the top drainage protrusions 2201 being adapted to the shape of the bottom drainage protrusions 1201. Thus, after the top fixing component is installed into the bottom fixing component, the bottom drainage grooves 1202 and the top drainage grooves 2202 form a plurality of drainage grooves on the two sides of the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame. During the liquid polishing process, the liquid polishing liquid impacting the UTG glass surface will be dispersed and flowed from these drainage grooves, thereby reducing the impact resistance of the liquid polishing liquid on the UTG glass and protecting the glass from breakage.

[0031] In this embodiment, multiple bottom and top drainage protrusions are provided on the second bottom fixed frame and the second top fixed frame, thereby forming multiple drainage grooves that effectively guide the flow of the liquid polishing liquid. Through these grooves, the liquid is evenly dispersed during the liquid polishing process, reducing the direct impact between the liquid and the glass surface and avoiding the risk of glass breakage due to concentrated liquid impact. The impact force of the liquid polishing liquid is dispersed and guided into the drainage grooves, thereby reducing the impact force of the liquid on the glass surface. This significantly reduces stress concentration in the glass caused by excessive or uneven liquid impact, lowering the probability of glass breakage. The cooperation of the drainage protrusions and grooves effectively organizes the discharge process of the liquid polishing liquid, preventing liquid stagnation or accumulation within the liquid polishing frame, allowing the liquid to flow and drain quickly. This improves the efficiency of liquid polishing and reduces the risk of glass surface contamination or uneven coating caused by liquid residue.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the locking assembly 300 includes a handle 310 and two locking holes 320 at both ends of the handle 310. A bottom locking connector 1203 is also provided on the second bottom fixing frame 120, and a top locking connector 2203 is also provided on the second top fixing frame 220. The bottom locking connector 1203 and the top locking connector 2203 are locked in the locking holes 320. Thus, the locking assembly can quickly and effectively lock the bottom fixing assembly and the top fixing assembly together. The handle 310 of the locking assembly 300 allows the operator to easily control and operate the assembly, especially during installation or disassembly. The locking holes 320 are located at both ends of the handle, allowing them to accurately align with the bottom locking connector 1203 on the bottom fixing frame 120 and the top locking connector 2203 on the top fixing frame 220. When the bottom locking connector 1203 and the top locking connector 2203 are inserted into the locking holes 320, they mechanically lock together the bottom and top fixing assemblies, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. This design not only simplifies traditional fixing methods (such as screws or other fasteners) but also improves installation speed and accuracy. Operators can achieve a quick and secure connection simply by aligning the bottom and top fixing frames and inserting the locking mechanism, avoiding safety hazards caused by improper operation or loose parts.

[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side 1102 of the first bottom fixing frame 110 facing away from the bottom glass bearing area is an inclined surface, and the side 2102 of the first top fixing frame 210 facing away from the top glass bearing area is also an inclined surface. Therefore, by designing the first bottom fixing frame and the first top fixing frame with a sloping arc shape, after the top fixing component is installed into the bottom fixing component, the top and bottom ends of the UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame respectively form two protruding tips. During the rapid descent and immersion of the fixing frame into the liquid polishing liquid, the resistance between the fixing frame and the liquid polishing liquid is greatly reduced. Less resistance means less force from the liquid polishing liquid impacting the UTG glass, making the glass less prone to breakage. Similarly, during the lifting process, the resistance between the fixing frame and the liquid polishing liquid is greatly reduced, resulting in less force from the liquid polishing liquid impacting the UTG glass and making the glass less prone to breakage.

[0034] The UTG glass liquid polishing fixing frame provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0035] 1. This fixing frame is designed with a bottom fixing component and a top fixing component, which can effectively and quickly fix the four sides of the UTG glass firmly in the frame. No matter which direction the UTG glass is swung from, it will not fall out of the frame.

[0036] 2. Drainage grooves are designed on both sides of the bottom and top fixing components. During the liquid polishing process, the liquid polishing liquid impacting the UTG glass surface will be dispersed and flow from these drainage grooves, reducing the impact resistance of the liquid polishing liquid on the UTG glass, thereby protecting the glass from cracking.

[0037] 3. Bottom and Top Fixing Components: The bottom and top are designed with a sloping arc shape. The sloping arc shape at the bottom greatly reduces the resistance between the fixing frame and the liquid propellant during the rapid descent and immersion of the fixing frame into the liquid propellant. Less resistance means less force from the liquid propellant impacting the UTG glass, making the glass less likely to break. During the lifting process, the sloping arc shape at the top also greatly reduces the resistance between the fixing frame and the liquid propellant. Less resistance means less force from the liquid propellant impacting the UTG glass, making the glass less likely to break.

[0038] 4. Locking blocks are designed at both ends of the bottom and top fixing components, which can quickly and effectively lock the bottom and top fixing components together.
