Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass transportation protection technology, specifically a protective mechanism for transporting glass panels. Background Technology

[0002] Glass products are fragile and easily broken during transportation due to external impacts, vibrations, or temperature changes. The complex and variable transportation environment, including bumps and collisions, can lead to glass breakage, causing not only economic losses but also potential safety hazards. Taking protective measures can effectively reduce breakage rates. These include using specialized cushioning materials such as foam and bubble wrap to reduce impact, properly securing goods to prevent shifting, and controlling the transportation environment to avoid extreme temperatures. Different glass products require specific protection: small items should be handled with care and multiple layers of insulation; large glass items should be secured with wooden frames, or even transported in containers.

[0003] Utility model CN222388591U discloses a glass protective fixing frame used during transportation. Its structure includes a base and a top cover. The top cover is positioned above the base, and the base and top cover are fixed together by multiple fixing rods. A front baffle and a rear baffle are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the top cover and the base. Multiple connecting rods are fixedly connected inside both the base and the top cover, and multiple rollers are sleeved on the connecting rods. A rubber sleeve with an annular groove is sleeved on each roller. Buffer rubber strips are fixedly connected to the rear side of the front baffle and the front side of the rear baffle. This utility model uses multiple rollers to separate the glass panels from each other, preventing contact and collision damage. Simultaneously, the rubber sleeves and rubber strips buffer and dampen the glass panels, ensuring the stability and safety of the glass panels during transportation.

[0004] While the aforementioned device can protect the glass panels by separating them with rollers, the distance between the rollers on the upper and lower sides is not adjustable. Therefore, it can only fix glass panels of a specific size. When the glass panel is too large, it cannot be placed between the rollers, and when the glass panel is too small, one end of it cannot be inserted into the corresponding roller. In addition, the aforementioned protective device only relies on the rollers to hold the two ends of the glass panel in place for fixation and protection. When subjected to impact, the lack of side support will result in a large force-bearing length of the glass panel, which will generate a large bending moment and make the glass panel prone to breakage. Therefore, to address the above problems, a protective mechanism for transporting glass panels is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide a protective mechanism for transporting glass panels. In this glass transport protective mechanism, the height of the upper protective frame can be adjusted by adjusting the gantry, thereby changing the distance between the upper and lower sets of positioning support members. This allows for effective support and positioning of glass panels of different sizes. In addition, side support members are installed on the positioning support members, which can support the sides of the glass panel, thereby significantly reducing the free length of the glass panel. When subjected to the same impact, the bending moment applied by the impact is also significantly reduced due to the significantly reduced free length of the glass, making the glass panel less prone to breakage. This solves the technical problems of the comparative technology where the protective mechanism can only provide positioning and fixing for glass panels of specific sizes, and the lack of side support for the glass panel leads to an excessively large force-bearing length and a large bending moment under stress, making the glass panel prone to breakage.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A protective mechanism for transporting glass panels includes a base plate with an adjustable gantry and several guide gantry mounted on its upper surface. The guide gantry are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the adjustable gantry. Several sets of protective units are included, each set comprising an upper protective frame and a lower protective frame. The upper protective frame is movably mounted on the guide gantry and its height can be adjusted by the adjustable gantry. The lower protective frame is fixedly mounted on the base plate. The upper and lower protective frames have identical structures, each including a mounting base and a positioning support mounted thereon. The positioning support includes a U-shaped frame plate on which a movable... The rotating positioning ball bearings, along with the side supports installed on the U-shaped frame plate to support the sides of the glass plate, allow the upper protective frame to adjust its height by adjusting the gantry, thereby changing the distance between the upper and lower sets of positioning supports. This effectively supports and positions glass plates of different sizes. The side supports provide support to the sides of the glass plate, significantly reducing its free length. Under the same impact, the reduced free length of the glass results in a significantly reduced bending moment, making the glass plate less prone to breakage.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the adjusting gantry is provided with a threaded adjusting screw, the bottom end of which is rotatably connected to the mounting base of the upper protective frame. In addition, the guide gantry is provided with a sliding guide rod, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base of the upper protective frame. The guide rod can guide and limit the movement of the mounting base to prevent it from deviating during movement. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the mounting base, turning the adjusting screw can drive it to move up and down.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the side support includes an elastic mounting bracket installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame plate, on which a rotatable support roller is mounted. The support roller rolls against the side of the glass plate, providing support to the side of the glass plate, significantly reducing its free length and providing better protection. Furthermore, during the installation and removal of the glass plate, since the support roller rolls against the glass plate, there is not much friction, which facilitates the installation and removal of the glass plate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the elastic mounting bracket includes an end mounting bracket rotatably connected to the end of the support roller, and a positioning shaft mounted on the U-shaped frame plate. The two ends of the end mounting bracket are slidably mounted on the positioning shaft. The positioning shaft is fitted with a spring, and an anti-detachment plate is fixedly connected to the outer end of the positioning shaft. When the glass plate is placed in, it will push the support roller outward and compress the spring. Ultimately, when the glass plate is placed in, the spring will provide elastic force to ensure that the support roller is tightly attached to the side of the glass plate, thus providing effective lateral support.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a retraction groove is provided on the U-shaped frame plate to allow the support roller and end mount to pass through when the support roller moves outward, and the above structure can provide space for the support roller and end mount to move.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the positioning ball is a cylindrical structure made of rubber, with a groove in its middle for locking the end of the glass plate. The groove structure can limit the end of the glass plate and prevent the glass plate from slipping off the positioning ball.

[0013] In one possible implementation, both ends of the base plate are bolted with end sealing plates, and the inner end face of the end sealing plates is pasted with a sponge buffer pad. The end sealing plates can block the front and rear ends of the glass to prevent it from sliding out of the entire protective structure.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the U-shaped frame plate is bolted to the mounting base plate, and connecting ears with through holes are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped frame plate. The mounting base plate has threaded holes, and the distance between adjacent threaded holes is equal to half the distance between the through holes of the connecting ears. In addition, the upper end face of the mounting base plate is provided with a limiting plate that matches the U-shaped frame plate. The above structure can realize the detachable connection between the U-shaped frame plate and the mounting base plate, and the setting spacing of the U-shaped frame plate can also be freely adjusted according to the module to meet more usage needs.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] In this glass transport protection mechanism, the height of the upper protective frame can be adjusted by adjusting the gantry, thereby changing the distance between the upper and lower sets of positioning support components. This allows for effective support and positioning of glass panels of different sizes. Specifically, the guide rod guides and limits the movement of the mounting base plate, preventing it from shifting during movement. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the mounting base plate, simply turning the adjusting screw will drive it to move up and down.

[0017] In addition, the positioning support is also equipped with a side support, on which the support rollers can support the side of the glass plate, thereby significantly reducing the free length of the glass plate. When subjected to the same impact, the bending moment caused by the impact is also significantly reduced due to the significantly reduced free length of the glass, making the glass plate less likely to break. At the same time, when the glass plate is placed, it will push the support rollers outward and compress the spring. Ultimately, when the glass plate is placed, the spring will provide elasticity to ensure that the support rollers are tightly fitted to the side of the glass plate, thus providing effective side support.

[0024] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a protective mechanism for transporting glass panels, including a base plate 1, on which an adjustable gate 11 and several guide gates 12 are mounted on its upper surface. The guide gates 12 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the adjustable gate 11. Several sets of protective units are provided, each set including an upper protective frame and a lower protective frame. The upper protective frame is movably mounted on the guide gate 12 and its height can be adjusted by adjusting the gate 11. The lower protective frame is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The upper and lower protective frames have the same structure, both including a mounting base plate 2 and a positioning support 3 mounted thereon. The positioning support 3 includes a U-shaped frame plate. 31, on which a rotatable positioning ball 32 is installed. In addition, a side support 4 for supporting the side of the glass plate is installed on the U-shaped frame plate 31. Since the height of the upper protective frame can be adjusted by adjusting the frame 11, the distance between the upper and lower sets of positioning support 3 can be changed, thereby effectively supporting and positioning glass plates of different sizes. The side support 4 can support the side of the glass plate, thereby significantly reducing the free length of the glass plate. When subjected to the same impact, since the free length of the glass is significantly reduced, the bending moment applied by the impact will also be significantly reduced, making the glass plate less likely to break.

[0026] The adjusting gantry 11 is equipped with a threaded adjusting screw 111, the bottom end of which is rotatably connected to the mounting base 2 of the upper protective frame. Furthermore, the guide gantry 12 is equipped with a slidably connected guide rod 121, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 2 of the upper protective frame. The guide rod 121 guides and limits the movement of the mounting base 2, preventing it from shifting during movement. When the height of the mounting base 2 needs to be adjusted, turning the adjusting screw 111 will drive it to move up and down. Figure 2 As shown.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the side support 4 includes an elastic mounting bracket installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame plate 31, on which a rotatable support roller 41 is mounted. The support roller 41 rolls against the side of the glass plate, providing support to the side of the glass plate, significantly reducing its free length and providing better protection. Furthermore, during the installation and removal of the glass plate, since the support roller 41 rolls against the glass plate, there is not much friction, facilitating the installation and removal of the glass plate. The elastic mounting bracket includes an end mounting bracket 42, which is rotatably connected to the end of the support roller 41, and a positioning shaft 43 installed on the U-shaped frame plate 31. The two ends of the end mounting bracket 42 are slidably mounted on the positioning shaft 43. The positioning shaft 43 is fitted with a spring 44, and an anti-detachment plate is fixedly connected to the outer end of the positioning shaft 43. When the glass plate is placed in, it pushes the support roller 41 outward, thereby compressing the spring 44. Ultimately, when the glass plate is placed in, the spring 44 provides elastic force to ensure that the support roller 41 is tightly fitted against the side of the glass plate, providing effective side support.

[0028] In addition, a retraction groove 34 is provided on the U-shaped frame plate 31 to allow the support roller 41 and the end mounting bracket 42 to pass through when the support roller 41 moves outward. The above structure can provide space for the support roller 41 and the end mounting bracket 42 to move.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the positioning ball 32 is a cylindrical structure made of rubber, and a groove is provided in the middle to hold the end of the glass plate. The groove structure can limit the end of the glass plate and prevent the glass plate from slipping off the positioning ball 32.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the base plate 1 are bolted with end sealing plates 13, and the inner end face of the end sealing plate 13 is pasted with a sponge buffer pad. The end sealing plate 13 can block the front and rear ends of the glass to prevent it from sliding out of the entire protective structure.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the U-shaped frame plate 31 is bolted to the mounting base plate 2. Connecting ears 33 with through holes are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped frame plate 31. The mounting base plate 2 has threaded holes 21, and the distance between adjacent threaded holes 21 is equal to half the distance between the through holes of the connecting ears 33. In addition, the upper end face of the mounting base plate 2 is provided with a limiting plate 22 that matches the U-shaped frame plate 31. The above structure can realize the detachable connection between the U-shaped frame plate 31 and the mounting base plate 2, and the setting spacing of the U-shaped frame plate 31 can also be freely adjusted according to the module to meet more usage needs.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] Each protective unit includes an upper protective frame and a lower protective frame, and the upper and lower protective frames have the same structure. They both include a mounting base plate 2 and a positioning support 3 mounted on it. The positioning support 3 includes a U-shaped frame plate 31 with rotatable positioning balls 32 mounted on it. The positioning balls 32 support and limit the end of the glass plate, positioning and installing it to achieve the protective effect.

[0034] The upper protective frame can adjust its height by adjusting the gantry 11, thereby changing the distance between the upper and lower sets of positioning support members 3, so as to effectively support and position glass plates of different sizes. Specifically, the guide rod 121 can guide and limit the movement of the mounting base plate 2 to prevent it from deviating during the movement. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the mounting base plate 2, the adjusting screw 111 can be turned to drive it to move up and down.

[0035] In addition, a side support 4 is installed on the positioning support 3. The support roller 41 on it can support the side of the glass plate, thereby significantly reducing the free length of the glass plate. When subjected to the same impact, the bending moment caused by the impact is also significantly reduced due to the significantly reduced free length of the glass, making the glass plate less likely to break. At the same time, when the glass plate is placed in, it will push the support roller 41 outward and compress the spring 44. Ultimately, when the glass plate is placed in, the spring 44 will provide elasticity to ensure that the support roller 41 is tightly attached to the side of the glass plate, thus playing an effective lateral support role.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
