Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of energy-saving glass substrate cooling devices, specifically, to an energy-saving glass substrate cooling device based on vacuum cooling technology. Background Technology

[0002] Energy-saving glass substrates typically refer to glass substrates that can effectively reduce energy consumption or improve energy efficiency during manufacturing and use. The working principle of energy-saving glass substrate cooling devices based on vacuum cooling technology is mainly to utilize the low-pressure environment under vacuum conditions to lower the boiling point of water, causing the water to evaporate and carry away heat, thereby achieving rapid cooling.

[0003] During vacuum cooling, the glass substrate is generally not fixed and may shift or wobble due to airflow, vibration, or other factors. If the glass substrate collides with other components, it may cause surface damage, edge breakage, or other problems, affecting product quality. If the glass substrate is fixed, it is usually only for limiting and fixing glass substrates of a specific size, which has a limited range of applications. Therefore, we propose an energy-saving glass substrate cooling device based on vacuum cooling technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an energy-saving glass substrate cooling device based on vacuum cooling technology, including a vacuum chamber body 100. Considering that the glass substrate is generally not fixed during the vacuum cooling process, it may shift or shake due to airflow, vibration, or other factors. If the glass substrate collides with other components, it may cause surface damage, edge breakage, or other problems, affecting product quality. If the glass substrate is fixed, it is usually only limited to glass substrates of a specific size, with a limited range of applicability. Therefore, the specific design is as follows: A vacuum chamber 101 is provided inside the vacuum chamber body 100. Several support plates 1010 are linearly arrayed inside the vacuum chamber 101. Each of the support plates 1010 is provided with a relatively movable clamping member 200, wherein:

[0022] The clamping component 200 is used to clamp and fix glass substrates of different sizes.

[0023] The improvement in this embodiment is as follows:

[0024] The clamping component 200 is used to clamp and fix glass substrates of different sizes. During the cooling process, the heat changes experienced by the glass substrate will cause certain stress changes. The clamping component 200 can firmly fix the glass substrate, preventing it from moving or deforming due to stress changes, and ensuring the smooth progress of the cooling process. The design of the clamping component 200 can accommodate glass substrates of different sizes. By adjusting the position or clamping degree of the clamping component 200, the clamping requirements of glass substrates of different specifications can be met, improving the versatility and flexibility of the device. The clamping component 200 can move relative to the support plate 1010. The operator can fine-tune the clamping component 200 according to the specific size and position requirements of the glass substrate, so that the glass substrate is in the optimal position in the vacuum chamber 101, further improving the uniformity and effect of cooling.

[0025] First, to clamp the glass substrate, the clamping member 200 includes a clamping plate 201. A limiting groove 2010 is formed on the inner surface of the clamping plate 201. The limiting groove 2010 provides precise positioning and stable support for glass substrates of different sizes. During the cooling process, the positional stability of the glass substrate is crucial. The limiting groove 2010 ensures that the glass substrate will not shift or shake due to vibration, airflow, or other factors, thus guaranteeing the uniformity and consistency of the cooling process. Simultaneously, operators can quickly place the glass substrate into the limiting groove 2010 for accurate positioning and fixation, eliminating the need for excessive adjustment time, thus helping to shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency.

[0026] Secondly, to precisely control the moving position of the clamping plate 201, a track groove 1011 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 1010. An adjustment component 300 is installed inside the track groove 1011. The adjustment component 300 is used to control the synchronous movement of the two opposing clamping members 200. The adjustment component 300 includes a ball screw 301 and a moving block 302. The ball screw 301 is configured as a combination structure of two reverse spiral grooves. There are two moving blocks 302. Through the rolling of the balls between the ball screw 301 and the screw nut inside the moving block 302, the two moving blocks 302 make relative linear movements inside the track groove 1011. The upper surfaces of the two moving blocks 302 are respectively connected to the bottom surfaces of the two opposing clamping plates 201. One end of the ball screw 301 passes through the vacuum chamber body 100 to the outside, and a torsion block 3010 is installed at the end.

[0027] The rotation of the ball screw 301 is adjusted by rotating the torsion block 3010. The ball screw 301 is set as a combination structure of two reverse spiral grooves, so that the two moving blocks 302 can make relative linear motion inside the track groove 1011, thereby driving the two clamping plates 201 to move towards the middle and clamping the glass substrate between the two limiting grooves 2010.

[0028] In addition, a sealing door 102 is hinged to the side wall of the vacuum chamber body 100. A latch is provided between the vacuum chamber body 100 and the sealing door 102. A handle 1020 is installed on the surface of the sealing door 102, and a mounting plate 1021 is installed at the edge of the sealing door 102. A vacuum rotary valve 1022 is installed on the surface of the mounting plate 1021. The installation of the handle 1020 on the surface of the sealing door 102 provides a comfortable grip and force application point for the operator. Whether opening or closing the sealing door 102, the operator can hold the handle 1020 stably. The latch between the vacuum chamber body 100 and the sealing door 102 provides additional fastening force after the sealing door 102 is closed, ensuring a tight connection between the sealing door 102 and the vacuum chamber body 100. The presence of the latch can compensate for the small gaps that may exist in a simple hinge connection, effectively preventing air leakage inside the vacuum chamber and ensuring a high vacuum environment inside the chamber. The vacuum rotary valve 1022 is mounted on the surface of the mounting plate 1021, which is in turn fixed to the edge of the sealing door 102. This arrangement allows the operator to conveniently operate the vacuum rotary valve 1022 while opening and closing the sealing door 102. For example, before closing the sealing door 102, the operator can easily rotate the vacuum rotary valve 1022 to adjust the vacuum level inside the vacuum chamber, ensuring that the cooling environment for the glass substrate meets the requirements.

[0029] In practical use, the energy-saving glass substrate cooling device based on vacuum cooling technology is operated as follows: The user opens the sealing door 102, places the glass substrate to be cooled on the support plate 1010, and aligns the edge of the glass substrate with the limiting groove 2010 on the clamping plate 201. Based on the size of the glass substrate, the user adjusts the ball screw 301 via the torsion block 3010, causing the two moving blocks 302 to move linearly relative to each other within the track groove 1011, thereby moving the two clamping members 200 towards the center to clamp the glass substrate. The sealing door 102 is then closed, and the locking mechanism secures the sealing door 102 to the vacuum chamber body 100. The user opens the vacuum knob valve 1022 on the mounting plate 1021, starts the vacuum pump and other vacuum equipment, and extracts air from the vacuum chamber 101 to achieve a certain vacuum level. During the vacuuming process, the vacuum level of the vacuum chamber 101 is monitored in real time by devices such as pressure sensors. When the set vacuum level is reached, the vacuum knob valve 1022 is closed. In a vacuum environment, the glass substrate begins to cool naturally. Due to the vacuum environment, the heat dissipation rate of the glass substrate is accelerated, and the cooling time is shortened. During the cooling process, the temperature change of the glass substrate can be monitored in real time using devices such as temperature sensors. When the temperature of the glass substrate drops to a certain value, the sealing door 102 is opened, and the ball screw 301 is reversed by the torsion block 3010, causing the two moving blocks 302 to move the clamping member 200 to both sides, releasing the glass substrate. Then, the cooled glass substrate is removed from the support plate 1010.
