Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device. Background Technology

[0002] UTG is an ultra-thin glass that combines flexibility and rigidity. It possesses flexibility and bendability, with a thickness of less than 100 micrometers. Unlike traditional rigid glass, it can be bent arbitrarily under external force without heat treatment. This material is manufactured using a special process, resulting in properties such as ultra-thinness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, high light transmittance, bendability, and good resilience. Therefore, ultra-thin flexible glass is widely used in smartphones, tablets, and foldable screens. However, the toothed racks in existing tempering fixtures are made of alloy material. During the tempering process, the ultra-thin flexible glass adheres to these toothed racks, resulting in chemical residue and scratches from friction with the fixture.

[0003] Existing technology includes a workpiece titled "A Micro-etching Fixture for Glass," with publication number CN220597324U. This technology relates to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass processing, specifically a micro-etching fixture for glass. It includes a base block and a fixing mechanism for securing the ultra-thin flexible glass. The fixing mechanism is mounted above the base block and includes a horizontal plate, a vertical plate, a connecting rod, a handle, a lifting frame, a first rack, and a fixing assembly. The vertical plate is fixed above the horizontal plate, the connecting rod is disposed inside the vertical plate, the handle is fixed to one end of the connecting rod, the lifting frame is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod, the first rack is fixed above the lifting frame, and the fixing assembly is mounted on the horizontal plate. This invention, by setting up a fixing mechanism, allows multiple second fixing rods to be fixed to the same first fixing rod, thus enabling the multiple second fixing rods to move synchronously, greatly facilitating the adjustment of the device.

[0004] However, this technology does not address the technical issues and solutions of this application. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. This device has a simple structure, ensures that the glass remains upright during the strengthening process, prevents skipping of teeth between glass panes due to the tooth position, ensures that individual glass panes are distributed evenly, effectively solves the problem of chemical residue in the glass tempering process, and prevents tempering marks, scratches, and abrasions from being generated during the glass production process, thus ensuring good production stability and yield.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model is an ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device, including a device frame, on which multiple rack components are connected. Each rack component includes a component body and multiple teeth, with V-shaped grooves formed between adjacent teeth. Each groove includes a first limiting oblique line and a second limiting oblique line.

[0008] The rack component includes an upper rack component, a lower rack component, a left rack component, and a right rack component.

[0009] The lower part of the upper rack component has multiple downward-facing V-shaped grooves arranged at intervals, while the upper part of the lower rack component has multiple upward-facing V-shaped grooves arranged at intervals.

[0010] The inner side of the left rack component has multiple V-shaped grooves with openings facing right, and the inner side of the right rack component has multiple V-shaped grooves with openings facing left, arranged with gaps.

[0011] The first limiting oblique line has a horizontal cross-section with an outward convex V-shaped structure, and the second limiting oblique line has a horizontal cross-section with an outward convex V-shaped structure.

[0012] The first and second limiting oblique lines are arranged symmetrically.

[0013] The rack component has a single integrated structure consisting of the main body and multiple teeth.

[0014] The upper rack component, lower rack component, left rack component, and right rack component of the rack component are connected by a frame.

[0015] The rack component is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials.

[0016] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device of this utility model is structurally designed with a frame comprising multiple rack components. These rack components are connected to form the frame structure, and different rack components are used to limit the different ends of the ultra-thin flexible glass from different directions. Each rack component includes a component body and multiple teeth, which are integrally formed. V-shaped grooves are formed between adjacent teeth, and each groove includes a first limiting oblique line and a second limiting oblique line. Each groove of the rack components in different directions is used to clamp the side end of a piece of glass. In this way, the grooves of the upper, lower, left, and right rack components achieve clamping and limiting of multiple pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass. The first and second limiting inclined lines are linear structures, so the glass is basically in point contact with the first limiting inclined line and the glass is basically in point contact with the second limiting inclined line. This can effectively ensure that the glass is in a standing position in the device. Due to the restriction of the grooves and racks, the glass is reliably limited and there will be no skipping between the glass pieces. This ensures that the individual glass pieces are distributed evenly and that there are gaps between adjacent glass pieces, which facilitates the flow of the chemical solution to contact the glass surface and ensures good production stability. Moreover, the above structure effectively reduces the contact area between the glass and the grooves, reduces the tempering marks caused by tempering chemical residue, and improves the quality of ultra-thin flexible glass products.

[0023] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part:

[0024] As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 As shown, this utility model is a strengthening device for ultra-thin flexible glass, including a device frame. Multiple rack components 1 are connected to the device frame. Each rack component 1 includes a component body 2 and multiple teeth 3. V-shaped grooves 4 are formed between adjacent teeth 3. Each groove 4 includes a first limiting oblique line 5 and a second limiting oblique line 6. This structure addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an improved technical solution. In this structural configuration, a device frame is provided, comprising multiple rack components 1 connected to form a frame structure. Different rack components 1 are used to limit different sides of the ultra-thin flexible glass from different directions. Each rack component 1 includes a component body 2 and multiple teeth 3. The component body 2 and multiple teeth 3 of the rack component 1 are integrally formed, and V-shaped grooves 4 are formed between adjacent teeth 3. Each groove 4 includes a first limiting oblique line 5 and a second limiting oblique line 6. Each toothed groove of the rack components in different directions is used to clamp the side end of a piece of glass. Thus, the toothed grooves of the upper, lower, left, and right rack components achieve clamping and limiting of multiple ultra-thin flexible glass pieces. The first limiting oblique line 5 and the second limiting oblique line 6 are linear structures, meaning the glass makes essentially point contact with both the first and second limiting oblique lines 5 and 6. This effectively ensures that the glass remains upright within the device. Due to the constraints of the toothed grooves and racks, the glass is reliably positioned, preventing skipping between glass pieces and ensuring a dispersed distribution of individual glass pieces. Gaps exist between adjacent glass pieces, facilitating the flow of the tempering solution to the glass surface and ensuring good production stability. Furthermore, this structure effectively reduces the contact area between the glass and the toothed grooves, minimizing tempering marks caused by tempering solution residue and improving product quality. The ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device described in this utility model has a simple structure, ensuring that the glass remains upright during the strengthening process. Due to the limitation of the tooth position, the glass will not skip teeth, ensuring that the individual glass pieces are distributed in a dispersed manner. It effectively solves the problem of chemical residue in the glass tempering process, and the glass production process will not produce tempering marks, scratches, or abrasions, ensuring good production stability and yield.

[0025] The rack component 1 includes an upper rack component 7, a lower rack component 8, a left rack component 9, and a right rack component 10. The lower part of the upper rack component 7 has multiple downward-facing V-shaped grooves 4 spaced apart, and the upper part of the lower rack component 8 has multiple upward-facing V-shaped grooves 4 spaced apart. The inner side of the left rack component 9 has multiple right-facing V-shaped grooves 4 spaced apart, and the inner side of the right rack component 10 has multiple left-facing V-shaped grooves 4 spaced apart. In this structure, four rack components are provided, and the glass is a square sheet structure. The four rack components constrain the ultra-thin flexible glass from four directions.

[0026] The first limiting oblique line 5 and the second limiting oblique line 6 both have an outwardly convex V-shaped horizontal cross-section. The first and second limiting oblique lines 5 and 6 are arranged symmetrically. In this structure, the first and second limiting oblique lines 5 and 6 are both inclined linear structures. This ensures that when the corresponding side end of the glass is fitted into each groove, the glass and the limiting oblique line are essentially in point contact, reducing tempering marks.

[0027] The rack component 1 has a component body 2 and multiple teeth 3 as an integral structure. With this structure, each rack component is machined as a single piece, resulting in a simple manufacturing process and low manufacturing cost.

[0028] The upper rack component 7, lower rack component 8, left rack component 9, and right rack component 10 of the rack component 1 are connected to the device frame. In this structure, the device frame is a rectangular frame, with the upper rack component 7, lower rack component 8, left rack component 9, and right rack component 10 correspondingly connected at the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the device frame. This ensures reliable connection of each rack component. The different positions of each rack component allow for the positioning of ultra-thin flexible glass of different models and sizes, improving the device's versatility.

[0029] The rack component 1 is made of a high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant material. In this structure, the rack component is made of PI (polyimide), which possesses excellent properties such as high temperature resistance (heat distortion temperature > 340℃), resistance to deformation, high chemical stability, and long service life. When the glass comes into contact with the device, due to the hydrophobicity of the PI material and the special nature of the rack structure, the liquid can easily flow away, preventing liquid residue from appearing on the glass during actual production. This effectively solves the problem of tempering marks caused by liquid accumulation. Furthermore, the rack will not scratch the product after contact, ensuring the glass stands upright and preventing skipping of teeth during production. This allows for large-scale production, ensuring the glass remains stable during manufacturing and effectively improving the problems of tempering marks and scratches caused by liquid residue in flexible glass, thus increasing production yield.

[0030] The ultra-thin flexible glass strengthening device of this utility model is structurally designed with a frame comprising multiple rack components 1. These rack components 1 are connected to form a frame structure, and different rack components 1 are used to limit the different sides of the ultra-thin flexible glass from different directions. Each rack component 1 includes a component body 2 and multiple teeth 3, which are integrally formed. V-shaped grooves 4 are formed between adjacent teeth 3, and each groove 4 includes a first limiting oblique line 5 and a second limiting oblique line 6. Each groove of the rack components in different directions is used to clamp the side end of a piece of glass. Thus, the grooves of the upper, lower, left, and right rack components achieve clamping and limiting of multiple pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass. Since the first limiting oblique line 5 and the second limiting oblique line 6 are linear structures, the glass is basically in point contact with the first limiting oblique line 5 and the second limiting oblique line 6. This effectively ensures that the glass is in a standing position within the device. Due to the restriction of the toothed grooves and toothed bars, the glass is reliably limited and there is no skipping between the glass pieces. This ensures that the individual glass pieces are distributed evenly, and there are gaps between adjacent glass pieces, which facilitates the flow of the chemical solution to the glass surface, ensuring good production stability. Moreover, the above structure effectively reduces the contact area between the glass and the toothed grooves, reduces tempering marks caused by tempering chemical residue, and improves the quality of ultra-thin flexible glass products.
