Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exhibit display technology, specifically an opening and closing structure for an exhibit glass protective panel. Background Technology
[0002] In science and technology museums, museums and other exhibition venues, products are often displayed through display devices such as display cases, display stands or showcases. Glass protective panels are sealed and protective components installed at the display windows of display cases, display stands or showcases.
[0003] In existing display devices, especially display cases backed by walls, the additional door structure for entering the inner cavity of the display device often requires additional openings in the wall and the inner cavity of the display device. This not only increases the cost of the display device but also affects the display effect of the exhibits and the aesthetic harmony of the display device. Therefore, most display devices often use the display window as the opening for entering the inner cavity of the display device.
[0004] In science museums, depending on the size of the display window, the glass protective panel typically uses one or more large tempered glass panels. Because of the significant size and weight of this large tempered glass panel, removing it for exhibit repairs presents a considerable challenge for maintenance personnel; it usually requires multiple people working together to dismantle and install the panel, resulting in high manpower costs. Furthermore, the dismantling and handling of such large glass panels poses significant safety hazards. To improve the ease of opening and closing the glass protective panel, existing technologies, such as the one described in Chinese Patent No. CN202589025U entitled "A Wooden Structure Manually Sliding Independent Display Case," involve installing tracks on the cabinet body, with the glass panels sliding along these tracks to facilitate the opening and closing of the display window.
[0005] However, even with the display case structure described in the cited patent, the glass panels will inevitably occupy space outside the display case during the sliding opening process. When the glass panels are opened, it is necessary to consider not only whether there is enough space in the venue, but also to worry about damage to the glass panels caused by other people bumping into them, which poses certain safety hazards and therefore needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to avoid and overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an opening and closing structure for a glass protective panel of an exhibit. It is not only convenient to open, but also does not require the use of space outside the display device during the unfolding of the glass protective panel, and also reduces the safety hazards during the opening of the glass protective panel.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An opening and closing structure for a glass protective panel for exhibits includes a frame and at least two glass panels sequentially mounted on a mounting groove in the frame. An clearance opening is provided on the inner or outer side of the mounting groove so that the glass panel can be accommodated in the clearance opening after being pushed inward or pulled outward.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the clearance opening is located on the outside of the mounting groove, and a pressure strip that prevents the glass plate from sliding toward the clearance opening is detachably installed at the clearance opening.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: an inspection slide is provided on the outer side of the installation slide, the inspection slide is arranged parallel to the installation slide, and the clearance opening is connected to the inspection slide, so that the glass plate contained in the clearance opening can slide onto the inspection slide.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the cross-section of the edge pressing strip is T-shaped, the vertical section of the edge pressing strip is inserted into the cavity of the clearance opening and the maintenance slide and fixed by fastening screws, and the inner side of the horizontal section of the edge pressing strip abuts against the glass plate.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the pressing strip is covered with clearance openings and maintenance grooves along the length direction of the maintenance groove.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the clearance opening is located inside the mounting groove, and an elastic pin is provided at the clearance opening to elastically block the glass plate from sliding towards the clearance opening.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: an inspection slide is provided on the inner side of the installation slide, the inspection slide is arranged parallel to the installation slide, and the clearance opening is connected to the inspection slide, so that the glass plate contained in the clearance opening can slide onto the inspection slide.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the elastic pins are configured as four arranged on the top and bottom sides of the glass plate.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the top and bottom of the glass plate are fully covered with wear-resistant edge strips, the wear-resistant edge strips are in the form of concave grooves, and the grooves of the wear-resistant edge strips are fitted and fixed on the glass plate, and the two sides of the wear-resistant edge strips are respectively attached to the two side walls of the mounting groove.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the wear-resistant edge strip is equipped with rollers that roll and abut against the bottom of the mounting groove.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. By pushing or pulling the glass panel located at the clearance opening, the glass panel slides into the clearance opening, thus misaligning one of the glass panels with the others. At this time, the glass panel is in a state where it can slide left and right, forming a passage that allows maintenance personnel to pass through. Unlike the traditional method of directly sliding the glass panel horizontally to open, this utility model uses a method where the glass panel first slides inward or outward to misalign before sliding horizontally. This ensures that the glass panel remains inside the frame when open, preserving the convenient opening feature of the glass panel and preventing it from occupying space outside the display device during opening, thus reducing safety hazards during the opening process.
[0020] 2. The clearance opening is located on the outside of the mounting track. A detachable edge strip is installed at the clearance opening to prevent the glass panel from sliding towards it, ensuring stable installation within the frame. In use, after removing the edge strip, the glass panel located at the clearance opening is pulled outwards into the clearance opening using a suction cup. Then, sliding the glass panel left and right within the mounting track creates a passageway for maintenance personnel. This outward-pulling opening method effectively prevents accidental opening caused by visitors lying on the glass panel.
[0021] 3. The edge-pressing strip is fully distributed along the length of the maintenance slide groove, including the clearance openings and the maintenance slide groove itself. This not only increases the contact area of the edge-pressing strip, thus improving its locking stability, but also seals and dustproofs the clearance openings and the cavities of the maintenance slide groove 50, ensuring that the glass panel slides smoothly within these openings and the maintenance slide groove. Furthermore, the edge-pressing strip covering the entire maintenance slide groove allows it to form a mating fit with all the glass panels, further guaranteeing the stability of the entire glass panel installation.
[0022] 4. The clearance opening is located inside the mounting groove, and a spring-loaded pin is installed at the clearance opening to prevent the glass panel from sliding towards it. In use, simply push the glass panel located at the clearance opening inwards, causing it to counteract the elastic force of the spring-loaded pin and enter the clearance opening. Then, sliding the glass panel left and right within the mounting groove creates a passageway for maintenance personnel. This inward-pushing opening method eliminates the need for external tools such as suction cups, improving the ease of sliding the glass panel into the clearance opening. Simultaneously, the spring-loaded pin provides resistance to the inward sliding of the glass panel, ensuring stable assembly of the glass panel within the frame.
[0023] 5. The maintenance slide rail allows maintenance personnel to pass through by sliding the glass panel into the clearance opening, either by sliding the glass panel in the slide rail or by sliding the glass panel in the clearance opening into the maintenance slide rail, thus increasing the versatility of the glass panel opening methods.
[0024] 6. The top and bottom of the glass plate are fully covered with wear-resistant edge strips and rollers. The wear-resistant edge strips prevent the glass plate from being damaged by friction during sliding, and the rollers reduce the frictional resistance during the sliding process.

[0033] 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.
[0034] For ease of understanding, the specific structure and working method of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0035] The specific structure of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-7 As shown, its main structure includes a frame 10 and at least two glass plates 30 sequentially mounted on the mounting groove 20 of the frame 10. An clearance opening 60 is provided on the inner or outer side of the mounting groove 20 so that the glass plate 30 can be accommodated in the clearance opening 60 after being pushed inward or pulled outward.
[0036] In use, the glass panel 30 located at the clearance opening 60 is pushed inward or pulled outward, causing it to slide into the clearance opening 60, thus misaligning one of the glass panels 30 with the others. At this time, the glass panel 30 is in a state where it can slide left and right, forming a passageway for maintenance personnel. Unlike the traditional method of directly sliding the glass panel 30 horizontally to open, this invention uses a method where the glass panel 30 is first slid inward or outward to misalign before sliding horizontally. This ensures that the glass panel 30 remains inside the frame 10 when open, preserving the ease of opening and preventing it from occupying space outside the display device during operation, thus reducing safety hazards during opening.
[0037] Example 1, as Figure 4 As shown, the clearance 60 is located on the outside of the mounting groove 20, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a retaining strip 40 is detachably installed at the clearance opening 60 to prevent the glass panel 30 from sliding towards the clearance opening 60, ensuring that the glass panel 30 is stably installed within the frame 10. In use, after removing the retaining strip 40, the glass panel 30 located at the clearance opening 60 is pulled outwards into the clearance opening 60 by using a suction cup to adhere the retaining strip 40. At this point, sliding the glass panel 30, which is located within the mounting groove 20, left and right creates a passageway for maintenance personnel. This outward pulling opening method effectively prevents accidental opening caused by visitors lying on the glass panel 30.
[0038] Example 2, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the arrangement of the clearance opening 60 on the outside of the mounting slide 20 in Embodiment 1, an inspection slide 50 is provided on the outside of the mounting slide 20. The inspection slide 50 is arranged parallel to the mounting slide 20, and the clearance opening 60 communicates with the inspection slide 50, so that the glass plate 30 housed in the clearance opening 60 can slide onto the inspection slide 50. The provision of the inspection slide 50 allows the glass plate 30 to slide into the clearance opening 60, creating a passageway for maintenance personnel by either sliding the glass plate 30 in the mounting slide 20 or sliding the glass plate 30 in the clearance opening 60 into the inspection slide 50, thereby increasing the versatility of the glass plate 30's opening methods.
[0039] Based on Examples 1 and 2, such as Figure 3As shown, the cross-section of the edge clamping strip 40 is T-shaped. The vertical section of the edge clamping strip 40 is inserted into the inner cavity of the clearance opening 60 and the maintenance slide 50 and fixed by the fastening screw 41. The inner side of the horizontal section of the edge clamping strip 40 abuts against the glass plate 30. After the vertical section of the edge clamping strip 40 is fixed by the fastening screw 41, the stability of the edge clamping strip 40 after locking is maintained by the abutting force between the vertical section of the edge clamping strip 40 and the wall of the clearance opening 60 and the maintenance slide 50, and the abutting force between the horizontal section of the edge clamping strip 40 and the opening of the clearance opening 60 and the maintenance slide 50, thus improving the locking effect of the edge clamping strip 40.
[0040] Furthermore, the edge-pressing strip 40 is fully distributed along the length of the maintenance slide 50, including the clearance openings 60 and the maintenance slide 50. This not only increases the contact area of the edge-pressing strip 40, thus improving its locking stability, but also seals and dustproofs the clearance openings 60 and the cavities of the maintenance slide 50, ensuring that the glass panel 30 slides smoothly within them without jamming. Simultaneously, the edge-pressing strip 40 covering the entire maintenance slide 50 allows it to form a mating fit with all the glass panels 30, further guaranteeing the stability of the entire glass panel 30 installation.
[0041] Example 3, as Figure 6 As shown, the clearance opening 60 is located inside the mounting groove 20, and an elastic pin is provided at the clearance opening 60 to prevent the glass plate 30 from sliding towards the clearance opening 60. In use, the glass plate 30 located at the clearance opening 60 is directly pushed inward, thereby causing the glass plate 30 to counteract the elastic force of the elastic pin and enter the clearance opening 60. At this time, sliding the glass plate 30 left and right within the mounting groove 20 forms a passage that allows maintenance personnel to pass through. The inward pushing opening method eliminates the need for external tools such as suction cups, improving the convenience of sliding the glass plate 30 into the clearance opening 60. At the same time, the elastic pin also provides resistance to the inward sliding of the glass plate 30, ensuring the stable assembly of the glass plate 30 within the frame 10.
[0042] The elastic pin in this invention can specifically be an axially extendable telescopic rod or an axially sliding slide rod. The axis of the telescopic rod and the slide rod is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the glass plate 30 sliding towards the clearance opening 60. A spring applies a compressive force, causing the telescopic rod to stretch outward or the slide rod to slide outward onto the sliding path of the glass plate 30 towards the clearance opening 60. Furthermore, a section of the telescopic rod or slide rod located on the sliding path of the glass plate 30 has a chamfer or a wedge-shaped surface to elastically press against the glass plate 30. When the glass plate 30 slides towards the clearance opening 60, the glass plate 30 can be wedge-fitted with the chamfered or wedge-shaped section, thereby compressing the telescopic rod or slide rod to resist the spring force and retract or slide inward.
[0043] Of course, in actual implementation, the elastic pin can also be a telescopic rod that slides parallel to the glass plate 30 toward the relief opening 60. The telescopic rod is driven by a spring to stretch outward and abut against the inner wall of the glass plate 30, thereby elastically preventing the glass plate 30 from sliding toward the relief opening 60.
[0044] Example 4, as Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the arrangement of the clearance opening 60 inside the mounting groove 20 in Embodiment 3, an inspection groove 50 is provided inside the mounting groove 20. The inspection groove 50 is arranged parallel to the mounting groove 20, and the clearance opening 60 communicates with the inspection groove 50, so that the glass plate 30 housed in the clearance opening 60 can slide onto the inspection groove 50. Similar to Embodiment 2, the provision of the inspection groove 50 allows the glass plate 30 to slide into the clearance opening 60, thus creating a passage for maintenance personnel to pass through either by sliding the glass plate 30 in the mounting groove 20 or by sliding the glass plate 30 in the clearance opening 60 into the inspection groove 50, thereby increasing the versatility of the opening methods for the glass plate 30.
[0045] Based on Embodiments 3 and 4, four elastic pins are arranged on the top and bottom sides of the glass plate 30 to ensure uniform force distribution around the glass plate 30 and to ensure that the glass plate 30 can be stably installed inside the frame 10. Of course, in actual implementation, the number of elastic pins can be increased according to the required resistance when the glass plate 30 slides inward to the clearance opening 60.
[0046] In the above embodiments, when installing the glass plate 30, the glass plates 30 can be slid into the installation groove 20 through the clearance opening 60 in the order of installation, and the glass plates 30 can be slid along the installation groove 20 to their corresponding installation positions until the glass plate 30 located at the clearance opening 60 is installed. At this time, the glass plate 30 located at the clearance opening 60 can be fixed by the edge strip 40 or the elastic pin. The installation process does not require fixing each glass plate 30 separately, which improves the convenience of installing the glass plate 30.
[0047] Based on the above, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top and bottom of the glass plate 30 are fully covered with wear-resistant edge strips 32. These wear-resistant edge strips 32 replace the friction between the glass plate 30 and the mounting groove 20, preventing the glass plate 30 from breaking due to friction during sliding. Furthermore, the wear-resistant edge strips 32 have a concave groove structure, and the groove cavity of the wear-resistant edge strip 32 is fitted and fixed onto the glass plate 30. Both sides of the wear-resistant edge strip 32 are respectively fitted against the two side walls of the mounting groove 20, ensuring that the glass plate 30 is stable and does not wobble after installation.
[0048] In addition, such as Figure 3As shown, the wear-resistant edge strip 32 is equipped with rollers 31 that roll against the bottom of the mounting groove 20, which reduces the frictional resistance of the glass plate 30 during the sliding process.
[0049] Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, but also includes the same or similar structures that can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0051] The technologies, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
