Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass etching technology. Specifically, this utility model relates to a TPU basket. Background Technology

[0002] The development and commercialization of TPU can be traced back to the 1950s. In 1950, Schollenberger and others at BF Goodrich began researching TPU. After several improvements, Goodrich (now Lubrizol) officially launched commercial TPU products, represented by EstaneVc, in 1961. In the 1990s, with foreign TPU manufacturers investing and establishing factories in China, my country's TPU industry began to take off and gradually develop. Entering the 21st century, driven by multiple factors such as increased market demand (mainly due to the substitution of PVC and rubber), improved domestic TPU production processes, a gradual stabilization of domestic upstream raw material supply, and improved downstream processing technology, the compound annual growth rate of TPU production and sales in China has reached over 10%. With the increase in usage, TPU has become an important component of the materials industry, mainly used in footwear, 3C casings, pipes, and films. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is a type of elastomer that can be plasticized by heat and dissolved in solvents. It possesses excellent comprehensive properties such as high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, and oil resistance, and has good processing performance, making it widely used in defense, medical, and food industries. Due to its superior performance and wide range of applications, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has become one of the most important thermoplastic elastomer materials. Its molecules are essentially linear, with little or no chemical cross-linking. Numerous physical cross-linkings consisting of hydrogen bonds exist between the linear polyurethane molecular chains. These hydrogen bonds strengthen its morphology, thus endowing it with many excellent properties, such as high modulus, high strength, excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and mildew resistance. These favorable properties make thermoplastic polyurethane widely used in footwear, cables, clothing, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, pipes, films, and sheets, among many other fields. The final products generally do not require vulcanization cross-linking, which shortens the reaction cycle and reduces energy consumption. Because it is essentially a linear polymer, it can be processed using the same techniques and equipment as thermoplastics, such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and calendering, making it particularly suitable for mass production of small to medium-sized parts. Waste materials can be recycled and reused, and different additives or fillers can be used during production or processing to improve certain physical properties and reduce costs.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number: 203373269U) discloses an etching basket in which glass substrates are placed, protecting and fixing the glass substrates during transportation and etching, thereby reducing the probability of glass substrate breakage and improving product yield. However, existing fixtures have extremely short service lives. Furthermore, their alkali resistance and thermal stability are worse than those of copolymers. With the accumulation of repeated cleaning time during production, the alkaline liquids, namely the soaking solution and potassium hydroxide, gradually erode the blue surface of the blue acetal calipers, causing the material to gradually corrode and rendering the basket unusable. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model is designed to solve the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide a TPU basket with high strength and strong alkali resistance. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a TPU basket, including a support mechanism and a connecting mechanism connected to the support mechanism, wherein the connecting mechanism is connected to a protective mechanism.

[0005] The support mechanism includes a first support plate and a second support plate, which are connected by a connecting mechanism.

[0006] The first support plate has a first through hole and a first through groove, the second support plate has a second through hole and a second through groove, and the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting post, one end of the first connecting post is disposed in the first through groove, and the other end of the first connecting post is disposed in the second through groove.

[0007] The protection mechanism includes a first connecting sleeve, a first connecting post having a first groove, the first connecting sleeve being fitted onto the first connecting post, and the first groove engaging with the first connecting sleeve.

[0008] The first groove is a circular structure and is opened at equal intervals.

[0009] The first through slot is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the first support plate, and the second through slot is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the second support plate.

[0010] A first connecting plate is provided at the corner of the first support plate, and one end of the first connecting plate is connected to the corner of the second support plate.

[0011] A first limiting block is provided in the first through slot, and a second limiting block is provided in the second through slot.

[0012] The first connecting sleeve is a one-piece TPU molded structure.

[0013] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: The first connecting post can move within the first and second through grooves, adjusting the distance between the first connecting posts on the same horizontal plane to accommodate the width of the glass; the first groove mates with the first connecting sleeve. The first connecting sleeve reduces corrosion of the first connecting post. The first connecting post has a first groove, and the first connecting sleeve has a limiting structure matching the first groove. Simultaneously, the first connecting sleeve is fitted onto the first connecting post, with the first groove mates with the first connecting sleeve. This ensures a more stable and tighter connection between the first connecting sleeve and the first connecting post. The first connecting sleeve protects the first connecting post from corrosion. The first connecting sleeve is a one-piece TPU molded structure with highly alkali-resistant TPU basket teeth, solving the problems of rapid material wear and low cleaning yield caused by poor moisture and alkali resistance. The one-piece TPU molded structure of the first connecting sleeve has high strength and high wear resistance, extending the service life of the basket during handling and friction. With its resistance to chemicals, hydrolysis, high and low temperatures, and mold, TPU material exhibits resistance that slows down material wear over time, thus saving production costs. The excellent comprehensive properties of TPU material make it resistant to wear and tear, maintaining a high yield rate for cleaned glass for an extended period, thereby increasing cleaning efficiency, improving workshop production efficiency, and enhancing production benefits. The first and second limiting blocks restrict the movement of the first connecting column. When the glass width is determined, the lateral distance between the first connecting columns on the same horizontal plane is set, and the first and second limiting blocks are used to limit movement and prevent the first connecting column from shifting.

[0018] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a TPU basket includes a support mechanism 1 and a connecting mechanism 2 connected to the support mechanism 1. The connecting mechanism 2 is connected to a protective mechanism 5. The support mechanism 1 is the base of the entire TPU basket's retaining teeth and provides support. The connecting mechanism 2 is connected to the support mechanism 1 and is used to place the glass. The protective mechanism 5 is installed on the connecting mechanism 2 and can extend its service life.

[0020] The support mechanism 1 includes a first support plate 101 and a second support plate 102, which are connected by a connecting mechanism 2. The first support plate 101 has a first through hole 103 and a first through groove 104, and the second support plate 102 has a second through hole 105 and a second through groove 106. The first through hole 103 reduces the weight of the first support plate 101, saving material. The first through groove 104 allows the first connecting post 201 to move within it, adjusting the distance between the first connecting posts 201 on the same horizontal plane to accommodate the width of the glass. Similarly, the second through hole 105 reduces the weight of the second support plate 102, saving material. The second through groove 106 allows the first connecting post 201 to move within it, adjusting the distance between the first connecting posts 201 on the same horizontal plane to accommodate the width of the glass.

[0021] The connecting mechanism 2 includes a first connecting post 201, one end of which is disposed in a first through groove 104, and the other end of which is disposed in a second through groove 106. The first connecting post 201 is used to provide support for the glass, and at the same time, the first connecting post 201 can move within the first through groove 104 and the second through groove 106 to adapt to the width of the glass.

[0022] The protective mechanism 5 includes a first connecting sleeve 5, a first connecting post 201 with a first groove 107, and a first connecting sleeve 501 fitted onto the first connecting post 201, with the first groove 107 engaging with the first connecting sleeve 501. The first connecting sleeve 5 reduces corrosion of the first connecting post 201. The first connecting post 201 has the first groove 107, and the first connecting sleeve 5 has a limiting structure matching the first groove 107. The first connecting sleeve 501 fitted onto the first connecting post 201, with the first connecting post 201 engaging with the first connecting sleeve 501, ensures a more stable and tighter connection between the first connecting sleeve 501 and the first connecting post 201.

[0023] The first groove 107 has a circular structure and is evenly spaced. The circular structure of the first groove 107 can strengthen the connection between the first connecting sleeve 501 and the first groove 107. The evenly spaced first groove 107 can reduce stress concentration and make the connection between the first connecting sleeve 501 and the first connecting post 201 more stable.

[0024] The first through groove 104 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the first support plate 101, and the second through groove 106 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the second support plate 102. The symmetrical arrangement of the first through groove 104 with respect to the central axis of the first support plate 101 facilitates the symmetrical arrangement of the first connecting posts 201 and ensures that the first connecting posts 201 on both sides are on the same horizontal plane, providing stable support for the glass. Similarly, the symmetrical arrangement of the second through groove 106 with respect to the central axis of the second support plate 102 facilitates the symmetrical arrangement of the first connecting posts 201 and ensures that the first connecting posts 201 on both sides are on the same horizontal plane, providing stable support for the glass.

[0025] A first connecting plate 108 is provided at the corner of the first support plate 101, and one end of the first connecting plate 108 is connected to the corner of the second support plate 102. Four first connecting plates 108 are provided to strengthen the connection between the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102, making the connection between the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102 more stable.

[0026] A first limiting block 3 is provided in the first through groove 104, and a second limiting block 4 is provided in the second through groove 106. The first limiting block 3 and the second limiting block 4 are used to restrict the movement of the first connecting post 201. When the glass width is determined, the lateral distance of the first connecting posts 201 on the same horizontal plane is set. At this time, the first limiting block 3 and the second limiting block 4 are used to limit the movement of the first connecting post 201.

[0027] The first connecting sleeve 501 is a one-piece TPU molded structure. The highly alkali-resistant TPU basket clamps solve the problems of rapid material wear and low cleaning yield caused by poor moisture and alkali resistance. The one-piece TPU molded structure of the first connecting sleeve 501 possesses high strength and high wear resistance, extending the service life of the basket during handling and friction. Its excellent resistance to chemicals, hydrolysis, high and low temperatures, and mold slows down the material wear rate of the basket as cleaning time accumulates, saving production costs. The excellent comprehensive performance of the TPU calipers makes the material less prone to wear, maintaining a high glass cleaning yield for a longer period, further increasing cleaning efficiency, improving workshop production efficiency, and increasing production benefits.

[0028] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0029] The first connecting post 201 can move within the first through groove 104 and the second through groove 106, adjusting the distance between the first connecting posts 201 on the same horizontal plane to accommodate the width of the glass.
