Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a ball dropping detection device for tempering process. Background Technology
[0002] Tempering is a crucial process in the production of solar photovoltaic glass. The mainstream encapsulation glass used in solar photovoltaic cells is currently low-iron tempered patterned glass. Tempered glass is several times stronger than ordinary glass, with a bending strength 3-5 times greater and an impact strength 5-10 times greater. It also has a high load-bearing capacity, mitigating its brittleness. Semi-tempered glass, also known as heat-strengthened glass, is a type of glass between ordinary flat glass and tempered glass. It combines some of the advantages of tempered glass, such as higher strength (twice that of ordinary float glass), while avoiding the weaknesses of tempered glass, such as poor flatness, susceptibility to spontaneous breakage, and the tendency to shatter upon breakage. When semi-tempered glass breaks, it cracks radially along the crack source, generally without tangential crack propagation, so it usually remains intact after breakage.
[0003] In the glass processing and manufacturing industry, tempering tests are required for glass products. The test method is the well-known drop ball test, which involves dropping a steel ball of a specified weight from a specified height onto the glass product to impact it, and then checking the product's appearance and various performance aspects.
[0004] However, most current ball drop testing equipment places the glass on a receiving plate and drops the steel ball downwards for testing. This method lacks any safety protection measures, which can lead to the glass breaking and scattering everywhere during the test, creating a safety hazard.
[0005] Therefore, a ball-dropping detection device for the tempering process is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the glass to be tested is placed on a platform inside the bottom box, and then the first electric push rod pushes the closed box downward so that its bottom end face connects and closes with the top end face of the bottom box. In this way, the glass is subjected to a drop ball test inside, avoiding the situation where the glass breaks and scatters everywhere when the ball falls during the test, which would cause safety hazards. This achieves the purpose and effect of good safety and high protection performance.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, the second electric push rod pushes the placement platform to lift and lower, so that if the glass is not broken after the ball drop test, the glass can be pushed upward for easy observation and retrieval, avoiding secondary breakage when manually retrieved from the bottom box, thereby reducing the occurrence of safety hazards;

[0025] 3. In this invention, a motor drives a lead screw, which in turn moves a sliding plate up and down via a threaded hole. This allows for adjustment of the ball's drop height, enabling testing on different types of glass and improving practicality.
[0026] An extension board is attached to the outside of the mobile skateboard, and the extension board is attracted to the outside by an electromagnet suction cup.
[0027] The iron ball facilitates easier operation and output during ball drop testing, resulting in more stable and accurate ball drop and better testing results. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a tempering process ball drop test device, which consists of a detachable and enclosed closed box, an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the drop height of the ball, and a ball drop mechanism for rapid output, thereby realizing the ball drop test on glass.
[0038] The closed box includes a base box 1 for supporting the glass to be tested, which provides better stability at the bottom; a mounting frame 2 connected to the side of the base box 1 for suspending and lifting operations, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the closed box 6, allowing its height to be adjusted so that the closed box 6 can be opened, allowing the second electric push rod 13 to push out the placement platform 14; and a closed box 6 connected to the mounting frame 2 via a lifting mechanism for protective closure, thereby realizing the closing and opening of the closed box and providing safety protection during the drop ball test. A control panel 3 is installed on the outside of the mounting frame 2, making it faster and more convenient for staff to operate the device.
[0039] The bottom box 1 has an opening at the top to facilitate the placement of the glass in various positions. The inner walls of both sides of the bottom box 1 are stepped, allowing for easy ball drop testing when the placement platform 14 is pulled to its lowest point. The stepped interior of the bottom box 1 has a mounting groove 12, inside which a second electric push rod 13 is installed. The output end of the second electric push rod 13 passes through the mounting groove 12 and connects to the hollow placement platform 14, which is formed by several connecting support bars. The placement platform 14 allows the glass to be placed on it for ball drop testing. Its hollow design allows the glass to fall downwards after breakage, facilitating direct force testing and reducing the need for support from the lower end, resulting in better test results. The second electric push rod 13 pushes the placement platform 14, causing the glass to rise and fall, making it easier to... The glass is brought into the bottom box 1 for testing, and if the glass does not break after the test, it can be pushed upwards to avoid manual removal of it downwards, which could cause secondary stress and breakage, thus reducing safety hazards. The bottom of the sealed box 6 is open, and the middle of the top of the sealed box 6 is provided with a through-hole drop interface 7, so that the iron ball 112 at the top can fall downwards through the drop interface 7. The top of the sealed box 6 is provided with observation windows 8 on both sides, so that the ball drop test inside can be observed through the observation windows 8. The bottom box 1 has a cavity that can be opened on one side, and a removable storage box 4 is installed inside the cavity. The storage box 4 can collect the glass fragments generated during the ball drop test, so as to avoid the time wasted in collecting and sorting them on the outside.
[0040] The mounting bracket 2 is arched and fits snugly against both sides of the base box 1, making it easy to place and retrieve the glass through the openings on the front and back sides. The top of both sides of the mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a first electric push rod 5, and the output end of the first electric push rod 5 passes through the mounting bracket 2 and connects to the upper sides of the enclosed box 6. The first electric push rod 5 can drive the enclosed box 6 to move up and down, thereby closing and opening the box, making the operation more convenient and saving manpower. The mounting bracket 2 has a drop opening 9 in the middle that passes through both the upper and lower ends. The drop opening 9 is larger than the drop interface 7, which facilitates the upward movement of the drop interface 7 and reduces obstruction.
[0041] The adjustment mechanism includes a lifting rail 10 connected to the upper end of the mounting frame 2. The lifting rail 10 has a front-to-back limiting groove 16 in the middle. Inside the limiting groove 16, a movable slide plate 17 is provided, which completely surrounds the lifting rail 10 and the limiting groove 16. The movable slide plate 17 has lifting grooves 18 on both sides, which are slidably connected to the inner and outer sides of the limiting groove 16. This allows the movable slide plate 17 to slide in close contact with the lifting rail 10, improving its stability and preventing rotational movement. The lifting rail 10 is located inside the limiting groove 16 and is connected to a lead screw 15 via a bearing. A motor 11 is installed at the top of the lifting rail 10, and the output end of the motor 11 is connected to the lead screw 15. The movable slide plate 17 has a threaded hole 19 in the middle, which is connected to the lead screw 15. This allows the motor 11 to drive the lead screw 15 to rotate, facilitating the movement of the movable slide plate 17 up and down through the threaded hole 19, thereby achieving height adjustment. This facilitates ball drop tests at different heights and improves test results.
[0042] The ball-dropping mechanism includes an extension plate 110 connected to the outside of the movable slide plate 17. An electromagnet chuck 111 is installed on the outside of the extension plate 110, and an iron ball 112 is connected to the bottom of the electromagnet chuck 111 at the upper end of the drop opening 9 to facilitate the iron ball 112 to fall downward into the closed box for testing the glass. By attracting the iron ball 112 through the electromagnet chuck 111, the ball can fall quickly and avoid swaying from side to side due to force, resulting in a better dropping effect and more convenient operation.
[0043] Working principle: In use, first connect the control panel 3, the first electric push rod 5, the motor 11, the second electric push rod 13, and the electromagnet chuck 111 to an external power source. Then, after the second electric push rod 13 pushes the placement platform 14 out of the base box 1, place the glass on the upper part of the placement platform 14. Then, the second electric push rod 13 pulls the placement platform 14 downward, so that the glass enters the base box 1. Then, the first electric push rod 5 pushes the sealing box 6 downward so that it contacts and seals the base box 1. Then, under the action of the motor 11 driving the lead screw 15 to rotate, the moving slide plate 17 is subjected to force and moves up and down. After adjusting the height of the falling ball, the electromagnet chuck 111 can be controlled to make the iron ball 112 fall downward. The iron ball 112 enters the base box 1 through the falling port 9 and the falling interface 7 and contacts the glass. Then, observe its breaking effect to achieve the falling ball test.
