Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a jig for processing ultra-thin flexible glass. Background Technology

[0002] Cover glass, a key raw material in the flat panel display industry, plays a vital role in protecting display devices. With the rapid development of the display industry, cover glass is constantly evolving towards larger sizes and thinner designs. In particular, the emergence of flexible glass has brought broad application prospects to fields such as flexible displays, ITO conductive film glass substrates, OLED lighting, and flexible thin-film solar cells.

[0003] However, ultra-thin flexible glass (typically between 0.1 and 0.03 mm thick) presents numerous challenges in strengthening and cleaning processes due to its thinness and flexibility. Traditional strengthening and cleaning fixtures employ a three-point fixing method, suitable for thicker cover glass (0.4 mm to 1.3 mm thick), but prone to tipping and breakage for ultra-thin flexible glass, and also prone to floating, resulting in low yield rates.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special fixture suitable for ultra-thin flexible glass to improve the yield of the strengthening and cleaning processes and reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a fixture for processing ultra-thin flexible glass. This addresses the problems of low yield and low processing efficiency in the strengthening and cleaning processes of ultra-thin flexible glass, as mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A jig for processing ultrathin flexible glass includes a support frame and a fixing clamp;

[0008] The support frame includes a base and a fixing member, wherein the fixing member is disposed on the base;

[0009] The fixing clamp includes a first interlayer, a second interlayer, and two flexible support layers;

[0010] Both the first interlayer and the second interlayer are hollowed out, both the first interlayer and the second interlayer are disposed on the base, and the fastener is used to fix the first interlayer and the second interlayer on the base.

[0011] Both flexible support layers are disposed on the side of the first interlayer and the second interlayer that are close to each other, and the space between the two flexible support layers is used to fix the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the flexible support layer includes a plurality of bosses and cords;

[0013] The boss is located on one side of the first and second interlayers that are close to each other;

[0014] The protrusions on the first interlayer are wound with ropes to form a mesh layer;

[0015] The protrusions on the second interlayer are wound with ropes to form a mesh layer;

[0016] The mesh layer on the first interlayer and the mesh layer on the second interlayer are used to fix ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0017] In one possible implementation, at least one intermediate layer is also provided between the first interlayer and the second interlayer;

[0018] Both the top and bottom of the intermediate layer are provided with protrusions, and the protrusions at the top and bottom of the intermediate layer are formed into a mesh layer by winding with ropes.

[0019] In one possible implementation, at least three support columns are provided between the first interlayer and the intermediate layer, and between the intermediate layer and the second interlayer.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the height of the support column is changed according to the thickness of the ultrathin flexible glass.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the first interlayer, the intermediate layer, and the second interlayer are all made of hollow material.

[0022] In one possible implementation, each of the protrusions is provided with an annular groove.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the maximum height of the boss is 1 mm.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the fixing element includes a fixing rod, at least three fixing posts, a guide rod, and a limiting element;

[0025] The fixing columns are all vertically arranged on the base, and each fixing column has a sliding groove along the height direction;

[0026] The guide rod is mounted on the fixed rod, and the guide rod passes through the slide groove. The guide rod is threadedly connected to the limiting member.

[0027] In one possible implementation, at least three guide rods penetrating the slide groove are provided on the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the intermediate layer.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] This application provides a jig for processing ultra-thin flexible glass. Through the flexible support layers on the first and second interlayers, and with the action of the fixing components, the ultra-thin flexible glass is easily fixed on the support frame, so that the ultra-thin flexible glass remains flat and stable during processing, reducing manual operation and effectively preventing damage to the ultra-thin flexible glass during strengthening and cleaning. This improves the processing quality of ultra-thin flexible glass, increases work efficiency, and also increases the yield rate.

[0030] In one possible implementation, by winding the cord around the boss, the first and second interlayers respectively form two mesh layers to fix the ultrathin flexible glass. This provides a stable support environment for the ultrathin flexible glass, allowing for the processing of not only a single piece of ultrathin flexible glass but also multiple pieces. Simultaneously, the mesh structure formed by the winding cord ensures uniform stress on the ultrathin flexible glass during processing, preventing deformation or damage due to excessive local pressure. This further improves the processing stability of the ultrathin flexible glass, increasing yield and processing efficiency. Furthermore, the mesh structure increases the contact area between the ultrathin flexible glass and the solution during strengthening and cleaning processes, further improving processing efficiency.

[0031] In one possible implementation, by setting an intermediate layer between the first and second interlayers, multiple layers of ultra-thin flexible glass can be fixed on the base simultaneously, significantly improving processing efficiency and flexibility.

[0032] In one possible implementation, at least three support columns are provided between the first interlayer and the intermediate layer, and between the intermediate layer and the second interlayer, so that the first interlayer, the intermediate layer and the second interlayer are controlled at a certain height, leaving enough space to accommodate the boss, and thus to accommodate the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0033] In one possible implementation, by replacing support columns of different heights, ultra-thin flexible glass of different thicknesses can be precisely matched, ensuring that it remains flat during processing and avoiding processing errors caused by thickness differences.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the design of hollow materials not only reduces weight but also improves the structural strength and stability of the material through a reasonable structural layout, ensuring accuracy and safety during processing.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the design of the annular groove determines the winding position of the rope on the boss, thereby ensuring that the mesh surface formed by the winding rope is on the same plane. This results in uniform stress on the ultra-thin flexible glass on the mesh surface, reducing damage to the ultra-thin flexible glass during processing. Simultaneously, the annular groove increases the contact area of ​​the rope on the boss, thereby improving the support stability of the ultra-thin flexible glass by the mesh surface formed by the rope, preventing the rope from shifting or slipping off the boss during processing, and ensuring processing accuracy and safety.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the maximum height of the boss is 1mm, which can adaptively leave enough space to accommodate ultra-thin flexible glass, reduce space waste, and further improve the space utilization rate of ultra-thin flexible glass processing.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the guide rod and the limiting component work together to allow for flexible operation and adjustment of the height of the fixing rod on the fixing column, thereby fixing the first and second interlayers on the base and completing the installation of the first and second interlayers.

[0038] In one possible implementation, four guide rods are provided on the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the intermediate layer, and the guide rods can be installed through the sliding groove. This allows the fixed column to support the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the intermediate layer. Under the limiting effect of the sliding groove, the movement of the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the intermediate layer on the fixed column can be reduced, further improving the installation stability of the first interlayer, the second interlayer, and the intermediate layer.

[0042] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application discloses a jig for processing ultra-thin flexible glass, including a support frame 1 and a fixing clamp 2.

[0044] The support frame 1 may include a base 11 and a fixing member 12. The base 11 may be configured as a quadrilateral frame structure. The fixing clamp 2 is disposed on the base 11. By adjusting the fixing member 12, the fixing member 12 can fix the fixing clamp 2 on the base 11.

[0045] The fixing clamp 2 may include a first interlayer 21, a second interlayer 22, and two flexible support layers 23.

[0046] Both the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 are hollowed out and are mounted on the fixing member 12. By adjusting the fixing member 12, the fixing member 12 can fix the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 on the base 11.

[0047] Optionally, the fixing clamp 2 can be made of high-temperature resistant materials such as stainless steel when used in high-temperature processes; in low-temperature environments, the fixing clamp 2 can be made of ordinary materials such as acrylic.

[0048] Both flexible support layers 23 are located on the side of the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 that are close to each other, and the two flexible support layers 23 are used to fix the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0049] By placing the ultra-thin flexible glass on the flexible support layer 23 of the first interlayer 21, and then covering the first interlayer 21 with the flexible support layer 23 installed, the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 clamp the ultra-thin flexible glass. The first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 are then placed on the fixing member 12. By adjusting the fixing member 12, the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 are fixed on the base 11. Then, the entire support frame 1 is adjusted to perform strengthening and cleaning operations on the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flexible support layer 23 on the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 facilitates the fixing of the ultra-thin flexible glass on the support frame 1 under the action of the fastener 12, so that the ultra-thin flexible glass remains flat and stable during the processing, reducing manual operation and effectively avoiding damage to the ultra-thin flexible glass during the strengthening and cleaning process, thereby improving the processing quality of the ultra-thin flexible glass, increasing work efficiency and yield.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the flexible support layer 23 includes a plurality of bosses 231 and cords.

[0052] The protrusion 231 is provided on the side of the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 that are close to each other. That is, the protrusion 231 is uniformly provided on the side of the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 that are close to each other. The protrusion 231 is integrally connected to the corresponding first interlayer 21 and second interlayer 22.

[0053] The protrusions 231 on the first interlayer 21 are wound with wires to form a mesh layer. The size of the mesh layer can be adjusted according to the size of the flexible glass. The mesh layer on the first interlayer 21 is used to support the bottom of the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0054] Optionally, the rope is wrapped with fishing line during the cleaning process, and high-temperature resistant materials such as high-temperature silk thread are used during the strengthening process. In the embodiments of this application, the rope is not shown.

[0055] The protrusions 231 on the second interlayer 22 are wound with wires to form a mesh layer. The mesh layer on the second interlayer 22 is similar to the mesh layer on the first interlayer 21. The size between the mesh holes can also be adjusted adaptively according to the size of the ultra-thin flexible glass. Therefore, the mesh layer on the second interlayer 22 can restrict the top of the ultra-thin glass, thereby achieving the fixation of the ultra-thin flexible glass between the mesh layer of the first interlayer 21 and the mesh layer of the second interlayer 22.

[0056] Optionally, a piece of ultra-thin flexible glass can be fixed between the mesh layer of the first interlayer 21 and the mesh layer of the second interlayer 22, or multiple pieces of ultra-thin flexible glass can be flexibly fixed.

[0057] In this embodiment, by winding the cord around the boss 231, the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 respectively form two mesh layers for fixing the ultra-thin flexible glass. This provides a stable support environment for the ultra-thin flexible glass, enabling the processing of not only a single piece of ultra-thin flexible glass but also multiple pieces. Simultaneously, the mesh structure formed by the winding cord ensures uniform stress on the ultra-thin flexible glass during processing, preventing deformation or damage due to excessive local pressure. This further improves the processing stability of the ultra-thin flexible glass, increasing yield and processing efficiency. Furthermore, the mesh structure design increases the contact area between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the solution during strengthening and cleaning processes, further improving processing efficiency.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, at least one intermediate layer 24 may also be included, disposed between the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22.

[0059] Optionally, there may be one, two, three or more intermediate layers 24. In this embodiment, the number of intermediate layers 24 is not limited.

[0060] Both the top and bottom of the intermediate layer 24 are provided with protrusions 231, which are evenly distributed on the corresponding intermediate layer 24. The protrusions 231 at the top and bottom of the intermediate layer 24 can be wound with ropes to form a mesh layer.

[0061] Furthermore, the mesh layer at the bottom of the intermediate layer 24 forms a layer with the first interlayer 21, which can fix a layer of ultra-thin flexible glass. The mesh layer at the top of the intermediate layer 24 and the second interlayer 22 form a second interlayer, which can fix another layer of ultra-thin flexible glass. Thus, the top mesh layer of the intermediate layer 24 can also form a third layer with the bottom mesh layer of another intermediate layer 24, which can fix another layer of ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, by providing an intermediate layer 24 between the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22, multiple layers of ultra-thin flexible glass can be fixed on the base 11 at the same time, which significantly improves processing efficiency and flexibility.

[0063] In one possible embodiment, at least three support columns 25 are provided between the first interlayer 21 and the intermediate layer 24, and between the intermediate layer 24 and the second interlayer 22.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, at least three support columns 25 are provided between the first interlayer 21 and the intermediate layer 24, and between the intermediate layer 24 and the second interlayer 22, so that the first interlayer 21, the intermediate layer 24 and the second interlayer 22 are controlled at a certain height, leaving enough space to accommodate the boss 231, and thus to accommodate the ultra-thin flexible glass.

[0065] In one possible embodiment, the height of the support column 25 can be changed according to the thickness of the ultrathin flexible glass.

[0066] In this embodiment, by replacing the support columns 25 with different heights, ultra-thin flexible glass of different thicknesses can be precisely matched to ensure that it remains flat during processing and avoids processing errors caused by thickness differences.

[0067] In one possible embodiment, the first interlayer 21, the intermediate layer 24, and the second interlayer 22 are all made of hollow material.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the design of hollow materials not only reduces weight, but also improves the structural strength and stability of the materials through a reasonable structural layout, ensuring accuracy and safety during the processing.

[0069] In one possible embodiment, each boss 231 is provided with an annular groove.

[0070] In this embodiment, the design of the annular groove determines the winding position of the rope on the boss 231, thereby ensuring that the mesh surface formed by the winding rope is on the same plane. This results in uniform stress on the ultra-thin flexible glass on the mesh surface, reducing damage to the ultra-thin flexible glass during processing. Simultaneously, the annular groove increases the contact area of ​​the rope on the boss 231, thereby improving the support stability of the ultra-thin flexible glass on the mesh surface formed by the rope. This prevents the rope from shifting or slipping off the boss 231 during processing, ensuring processing accuracy and safety.

[0071] In one possible embodiment, the maximum height of the boss 231 is 1 mm.

[0072] In this embodiment, the maximum height of the boss 231 is 1mm, which can adaptively leave enough space to accommodate ultra-thin flexible glass, reduce space waste, and further improve the space utilization rate of ultra-thin flexible glass processing.

[0073] In one possible embodiment, the fixing member 12 may include two fixing rods 121, four fixing posts 122, four guide rods 123, and a limiting member.

[0074] The fixing posts 122 are all vertically mounted on the base 11. The fixing posts 122 are integrally connected to the base 11, and each fixing post 122 has a sliding groove 124 along the height direction.

[0075] The guide rods 123 are integrally connected to both ends of the fixed rod 121, and each guide rod 123 passes through a corresponding groove 124. By adjusting each fixed rod 121, the fixed rod 121 can be pressed against one side of the second interlayer 22. The guide rods 123 are threadedly connected to a limiting member, which can be a nut. By adjusting the nut, the fixed rod 121 can be fixed on the fixed post 122. The limiting member is not shown.

[0076] In this embodiment, the operation is flexible through the cooperation of the guide rod 123 and the limiting member, and the height of the fixing rod 121 on the fixing column 122 can be adjusted, thereby fixing the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22 on the base 11 and completing the installation of the first interlayer 21 and the second interlayer 22.

[0077] In one possible embodiment, the first interlayer 21, the second interlayer 22, and the intermediate layer 24 are each provided with four guide rods 123 that pass through the slide grooves 124.

[0078] In this embodiment, four guide rods 123 are provided on the first interlayer 21, the second interlayer 22, and the intermediate layer 24, and the guide rods 123 can pass through the slide groove 124 respectively. This allows the fixing post 122 to support the first interlayer 21, the second interlayer 22, and the intermediate layer 24. Under the limiting effect of the slide groove 124, the movement of the first interlayer 21, the second interlayer 22, and the intermediate layer 24 on the fixing post 122 can be reduced, further improving the installation stability of the first interlayer 21, the second interlayer 22, and the intermediate layer 24.
