Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass transfer technology, and in particular to a glass bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing and transportation industry, glass trays are a crucial piece of equipment, playing a vital role in storing and transporting glass. Their design directly affects the stability and safety of the glass during transport, thus impacting product quality and transportation efficiency. Traditional glass trays, especially those using mobile trolleys, often require additional straps or support structures to ensure the glass's stability during loading and unloading. While this method provides some stability, it presents numerous inconveniences in practical operation.

[0003] First, the additional straps or support structures increase the complexity of the operation, making it not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to damaging the glass due to improper handling. Second, this method of securing the glass reduces loading and unloading efficiency. In time-pressured production environments, inefficient loading and unloading processes can become bottlenecks, affecting the overall production line's operating speed. More importantly, existing methods pose safety risks. Straps may loosen, and support structures may not be stable enough, both of which could cause the glass to shift or even break during transportation, resulting in economic losses and safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass bracket to simplify the glass loading and unloading process, enhance the stability and safety of glass transportation, and reduce the reliance on additional fixing measures.

[0005] Technical solution: A glass bracket includes a horizontal frame with casters at the bottom and a glass support at the top. The glass support includes a front support and a rear support. One end of the rear support is hinged to the rear end of the horizontal frame, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the front support. The glass support has two states: folded and unfolded. In the folded state, the front and rear supports fold along the hinge and overlap the top of the horizontal frame. In the unfolded state, the front and rear supports fold along the hinge to form a cross-support structure. The front and rear supports and the rear half of the horizontal frame form a triangular support structure, and the front support and the front half of the horizontal frame form a glass placement area. The frame also includes a locking structure for locking the glass support in both the folded and unfolded states, and a glass abutment located at the front end of the horizontal frame.

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, anti-slip parts are provided on the front side of the front support and the top of the front half of the horizontal frame.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the front support includes a base and a telescopic part. The base has a straight cavity, and the telescopic part is movably connected to the straight cavity. The side of the base has a threaded hole that penetrates the sliding cavity, and a pre-tightening knob is provided at the threaded hole.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, when the glass support is in the unfolded state, the angle between its front support and the front half of the horizontal frame is 110-120 degrees.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the locking structure includes a locking pin, a first hole at the center of the horizontal frame, a second hole at the center of the front support, and a third hole at the end of the front support near the horizontal frame when the glass support is in the unfolded state. When the glass support is in the folded state, the first and second holes overlap, and the locking pin can be inserted into the first and second holes. When the glass support is in the unfolded state, the first and third holes overlap, and the locking pin can be inserted into the first and third holes.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the glass abutment includes a slider, a mounting block, a vertical shaft, and a baffle; the front ends of the horizontal frame are respectively provided with grooves, the slider is slidably disposed in the grooves, the mounting block is disposed on one side of the slider, the mounting block is provided with a vertical hole, the vertical shaft is disposed in the vertical hole, the baffle is disposed at the upper end of the vertical shaft, the upper end of the vertical shaft is formed with a cross spline, the baffle is formed with a cross keyway, and the lower end of the cross spline is provided with a limiting ring.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, traction joints are provided at the front, rear, left, and right of the horizontal frame for connecting the traction mechanism.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model provides a foldable / unfoldable glass support at the top of a horizontal frame. When using the bracket, the glass can be directly abutted against the glass support without additional binding or support. This not only improves loading and handling efficiency but also makes the glass more stable during transportation. In addition, when the bracket is not in use, the glass support can be folded and stored, saving space.

[0014] 2. The front support of this utility model is telescopic to accommodate more sizes and specifications of glass.

[0015] 3. The glass placement area formed by the front support and the front half of the horizontal frame of this utility model is equipped with an anti-slip part, which can reduce accidental slippage of the glass during loading, unloading and transportation, and ensure transportation safety.

[0016] 4. By setting a locking structure, this utility model can lock the glass support in the unfolded or folded state, ensuring the stability of the bracket structure.

[0017] 5. The glass abutment part of this utility model can limit the lower end of the glass during the transportation of glass to prevent the tilted glass from sliding and causing safety hazards.

[0018] 6. This utility model facilitates quick docking with the traction mechanism by setting traction joints at the front, back, left, and right of the horizontal frame. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1The glass bracket shown includes a horizontal frame 1, which is a rectangular frame made of welded metal. Four casters 13 are located at the four corners of the frame's bottom, and a foldable or unfoldable glass support 2 is located at the top. Figure 1 The glass support 2 shown is in its unfolded state. The glass support 2 consists of a front support 3 and a rear support 4. The length and width of the front support 3 are approximately the same as the horizontal frame 1, and the width of the rear support 4 is approximately half that of the front support 3. One end of the rear support 4 is hinged to the rear end of the horizontal frame 1, and the opposite end is hinged to the middle of the front support 3. This hinged connection allows the glass support 2 to have both folded and unfolded states. In the folded state, the front support 3 and rear support 4 fold along the hinged joints and overlap on top of the horizontal frame 1. This state facilitates tray storage and saves space. Of course, in the folded state, it can also be used as a regular flatbed cart. See details for further information. Figure 2 The diagram shows the bracket in its folded state. In the unfolded state, the front support 3 and the rear support 4 fold along the hinge to form a cross-support structure. At this time, the front support 3, the rear support 4, and the rear half of the horizontal frame 1 form a stable triangular support structure. When transferring glass, the glass is moved to the glass placement area formed by the front support 3 and the front half of the horizontal frame 1 for stacking, so that the glass is at a certain tilt angle and rests against the front side of the front support 3. In a preferred embodiment, in the unfolded state, the angle between the front support 3 and the front half of the horizontal frame 1 of the glass support 2 is 110-120 degrees. The specific parameters of this angle can be achieved by replacing the rear support 4 with different sizes, and can be changed according to actual usage.

[0027] The foldable / expandable glass support 2 enables quick and easy installation of a fixed support for the glass, allowing for fixation without the need for additional binding operations.

[0028] In addition, the frame also includes a locking structure 5 for locking the glass support 2 in both folded and unfolded states. The locking structure 5 can lock the glass support 2, making the structure stable in both the use and non-use states.

[0029] Use of locking structure 5:

[0030] Specifically, the locking structure 5 includes a locking pin and a first hole 11 adapted to it at the center of the horizontal frame 1 (see reference). Figure 3 Correspondingly, a second hole 35 is provided at the center of the front support 3, and a third hole 36 is provided at the end of the front support 3 near the horizontal frame 1 when the glass support part 2 is in the unfolded state.

[0031] When the glass support 2 is in the folded state, the first hole 11 and the second hole 35 overlap, and the locking pin can be inserted into the first hole 11 and the second hole 35 to keep it stable.

[0032] In addition, when the glass support 2 is in the unfolded state, the first hole 11 and the third hole 36 overlap, and the locking pin can be inserted into the first hole 11 and the third hole 36 to keep it stable.

[0033] Of course, the first hole 11, the second hole 35, and the third hole 36 that cooperate with the locking pin can also be set at other positions on the horizontal frame 1 and the front support 3, so as to ensure that the glass support part 2 can be locked by the locking pin in the folded and unfolded states.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the frame also includes a glass abutment 6 located at the front end of the horizontal frame 1. In this embodiment, there are two glass abutment 6 located on both sides of the front end of the horizontal frame 1. The glass abutment 6 consists of a slider 61, a mounting block 62, a vertical shaft 63, and a baffle 64. The mounting block 62 is located on one side of the slider 61, and a vertical hole 621 is provided on the mounting block 62. The vertical shaft 63 is located in the vertical hole 621. The baffle 64 is located at the upper end of the vertical shaft 63. A cross spline 631 is formed at the upper end of the vertical shaft 63, and a cross keyway 641 is formed on the baffle 64. A limiting ring is provided at the lower end of the cross spline 631. Correspondingly, a sliding groove 12 is provided on both sides of the front end of the horizontal frame 1. The slider 61 is slidably positioned in the sliding groove 12. The baffle 64 is connected to the vertical shaft 63 by a spline. The baffle 64 can be pulled upwards to separate from the vertical shaft 63. This spline is a cross spline. Figure 1 In the state shown, the baffle 64 serves to restrict the lower end of the glass. Figure 2 In the state shown, the baffle 64 is rotated 90 degrees and then inserted into the vertical shaft 63. This state is convenient for storage.

[0035] In addition, the limiting ring at the lower end of the cross spline 631 serves to limit the vertical displacement of the baffle 64. The vertical shaft 63 and the vertical hole 621 on the mounting block 62 are pre-tightened and released by a screw. The slider 61 is also provided with a pre-tightening knob for limiting the position of the slider. This knob is connected to the screw hole on the slider 61 and is limited by pressing against the slide groove 12.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that the front side of the front support 3 and the top of the front half of the horizontal frame 1 are respectively provided with anti-slip parts 7. The anti-slip parts 7 are made of rubber and have anti-slip threads on their surface. In this embodiment, the length of the anti-slip part 7 at the top of the horizontal frame 1 is approximately half the length of the horizontal frame 1. When the glass support 2 is in the open state, the relatively lower end of the front support 3 just abuts against the rear end of the anti-slip part 7, so that the first hole 11 and the third hole 36 coincide and remain coincident. This is conducive to the rapid unfolding of the glass support 2.

[0037] It should be noted that the front support 3 includes a base part 31 and a telescopic part 32, as detailed in the reference. Figure 4 The base part 31 is provided with a straight cavity, and the telescopic part 32 is movably connected to the straight cavity. A threaded hole 33 is provided on the side of the base part 31, which passes through the sliding cavity. A pre-tightening knob 34 is provided at the threaded hole 33. By rotating the pre-tightening knob 34, the telescopic part 32 can be extended or retracted.

[0038] In addition, to facilitate quick connection between the bracket and the traction mechanism, traction joints 8 are provided at the front, rear, left and right of the horizontal frame 1.

[0039] Using this glass tray can significantly improve the loading and unloading experience during glass production and transportation, thereby increasing glass transfer efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
