Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tempered glass technology, and in particular to a tempered glass that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] Tempered glass is a glass product processed with special techniques, possessing superior performance characteristics. It uses high-quality flat glass as raw material and undergoes tempering treatment through physical or chemical methods. In physical tempering, the glass is first heated to a specific high temperature close to its softening point, then rapidly and uniformly cooled, forming a uniform compressive stress layer on the glass surface while tensile stress is generated internally. This stress distribution greatly enhances the glass's strength; its impact resistance can be several times higher than ordinary glass. Chemical tempering utilizes ion exchange technology, immersing the glass in a specific molten salt. This allows small ions on the glass surface to exchange with large ions in the molten salt, forming a compressive stress layer on the glass surface, thereby increasing the glass's strength.
[0003] Traditional tempered glass undergoes special treatment, resulting in significantly increased hardness but also increased brittleness. Traditional installation methods, which require drilling holes in the glass to install bolts, are extremely difficult. During drilling, stress concentration can easily cause the glass to crack, leading to material waste, increased installation costs and time, and severely impacting the installation schedule. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tempered glass that is easy to install, solving the problem that tempered glass, due to its special treatment, has significantly increased hardness but also increased brittleness. Traditional installation methods require drilling holes in the glass to install bolts, which is extremely difficult and prone to causing the glass to crack due to stress concentration during the drilling process. This not only wastes materials but also increases installation costs and time, seriously affecting the installation schedule.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A tempered glass that is easy to install includes a tempered glass body, wherein notches are provided at each of the four corners of the tempered glass body; a plastic block, wherein the plastic block is disposed at the notch and is bonded to the notch by adhesive; and a rubber sleeve, wherein the rubber sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the plastic block.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the notch is provided with an L-shaped groove, and the side wall of the plastic block is provided with an L-shaped rod, and the size of the L-shaped rod and the L-shaped groove are matched. When the plastic block is installed with the notch, the L-shaped rod can be just inserted into the L-shaped groove.
[0008] Preferably, the size of the plastic block is smaller than the size of the notch, the rubber sleeve adopts a semi-closed structure, and the rubber sleeve and the plastic block are bonded together with glue. The plastic block and the rubber sleeve can completely fill the space defined by the notch, so that the glass presents a complete quadrilateral configuration in appearance and structure.
[0009] Preferably, both the surface of the rubber sleeve and the surface of the plastic block are provided with round holes for bolts to pass through.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the rubber sleeve has a circular groove at the position relative to the circular hole.
[0011] Preferably, both sides of the rubber sleeve are provided with protrusions so that the rubber sleeve, after being fitted onto the plastic block, can just cover both ends of the L-shaped rod.
[0012] Preferably, the plastic block and the L-shaped rod, as well as the rubber sleeve and the protrusion, are all formed in one step by injection molding.
[0013] Preferably, both the notch and the L-shaped groove are created before the tempered glass body is tempered.
[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Setting notches in the tempered glass body and embedding plastic blocks into the corner notches and L-shaped grooves of the tempered glass can enhance the overall structural strength of the glass, effectively disperse stress, and reduce the risk of breakage.
[0016] The rubber sleeve, covering the plastic block, provides cushioning protection to prevent damage to both the glass and the plastic block. Its anti-slip properties also prevent the glass from sliding. The raised sides of the rubber sleeve can cover the ends of the L-shaped rod on the plastic block, and the plastic block and rubber sleeve can perfectly fill the gaps in the tempered glass, enhancing both aesthetics and protection.
[0017] By creating circular holes on the surfaces of the rubber sleeve and plastic block for bolts to pass through, the three components can be securely fixed to other parts, cleverly avoiding the direct installation of bolts on tempered glass. This installation method not only avoids the risk of glass breakage that may result from drilling holes directly into tempered glass to install bolts. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 A type of tempered glass that is easy to install includes a tempered glass body 1, with notches 11 at each of the four corners. When a plastic block 2 is installed at the notches 11, the tempered glass still presents a complete rectangular shape, greatly improving the overall aesthetics of the product and allowing the glass to meet functional requirements while also having a good visual effect. The plastic block 2 is placed at the notch 11 and is bonded to the notch 11 with adhesive. The bonding between the plastic block 2 and the tempered glass uses a high-strength glass-specific adhesive. According to the adhesive product instructions, the adhesive is evenly applied to the bonding surfaces of the cleaned glass and the plastic block 2. Then, the plastic block 2 is accurately placed at the notch 11, and pressure is applied and held for a fixed time to ensure a firm bond. This achieves a stable connection between the plastic block 2 and the tempered glass at the corners, improving the stability and functionality of the overall structure. By setting the plastic block 2, the tempered glass is strengthened. The overall strength of the glass is crucial, but corners are often the weakest points in its mechanical properties. Plastic block 2 can distribute external forces, reducing the risk of tempered glass breaking upon impact and providing cushioning protection. When the glass comes into contact with an object, plastic block 2 contacts and absorbs part of the impact force, preventing direct damage to the glass surface. Furthermore, plastic block 2 can be used to install or connect other components. For example, when connecting to a frame, plastic block 2 can act as a transition element, optimizing the connection method and improving connection stability and reliability. Rubber sleeve 3, fitted over the surface of plastic block 2, can buffer external impacts when the corner is under force, further protecting the glass corner and plastic block 2, reducing the risk of damage from impacts. Moreover, rubber sleeve 3 typically has a certain degree of anti-slip property. When installing tempered glass, if the corner is in contact with an object for support, it can increase the friction between the tempered glass and other objects, preventing glass slippage in scenarios requiring glass fixation.
[0030] Furthermore, an L-shaped groove 12 is formed on the surface of the notch 11, and an L-shaped rod 21 is provided on the side wall of the plastic block 2. The dimensions of the L-shaped rod 21 and the L-shaped groove 12 are matched. When the plastic block 2 is installed with the notch 11, the L-shaped rod 21 can fit perfectly into the L-shaped groove 12. This fitting design greatly enhances the connection strength between the tempered glass and the plastic block 2. The L-shaped rod and the L-shaped groove 12 are tightly engaged, which can effectively disperse stress when the glass is subjected to external impact, reduce the risk of glass breakage, and enhance the overall structural stability. In terms of installation convenience, the precisely matched L-shaped design facilitates installation operations. Installers can quickly locate the position of the plastic block 2, improve installation efficiency, reduce installation errors, and ensure product assembly quality.
[0031] Furthermore, the size of the plastic block 2 is smaller than the size of the notch 11, the rubber sleeve 3 adopts a semi-closed structure, and the rubber sleeve 3 and the plastic block 2 are bonded together with glue. The plastic block 2 and the rubber sleeve 3 can completely fill the space defined by the notch 11, thus making the glass present a complete quadrilateral configuration in appearance and structure.
[0032] Furthermore, both the surface of the rubber sleeve 3 and the surface of the plastic block 2 are provided with circular holes 32 for bolts to pass through. Bolts passing through the circular holes 32 can tightly fix the rubber sleeve 3, plastic block 2, and other components together, preventing relative displacement during use and ensuring overall structural stability. The circular holes 32 provide precise positioning for bolt installation, making the installation process more efficient and reducing installation time and difficulty. Since the plastic block 2 is firmly embedded in the specific-shaped notches 11 at the four corners of the tempered glass, and the notches 11 have precisely matching L-shaped grooves, this cleverly avoids directly installing bolts on the tempered glass. This installation method not only avoids the risk of glass breakage that may result from directly drilling holes in the tempered glass to install bolts, but also effectively disperses the stress generated during installation, ensuring the structural stability and safety of the tempered glass after installation.
[0033] Furthermore, a circular groove 33 is formed on the surface of the rubber sleeve 3 relative to the circular hole 32. The size, depth, and position of this groove 33 are precisely designed according to the specifications of the nut of the bolt used. When the bolt passes through the circular hole 32 on the surface of the rubber sleeve 3 and is tightened, the nut can be completely embedded in the groove 33. This design effectively avoids the nut from being exposed abruptly on the surface of the rubber sleeve 3, greatly improving the overall aesthetics of the product and enabling the product to meet structural functionality while also having a good visual effect.
[0034] Furthermore, both sides of the rubber sleeve 3 are provided with protrusions 31 so that after the rubber sleeve 3 is fitted onto the plastic block 2, it can just cover the two ends of the L-shaped rod 21. After the plastic block 2 is installed in the L-shaped groove of the notch 11, the two ends of the L-shaped rod will be exposed. At this time, the rubber sleeve 3, which is used to fit over the plastic block 2, has carefully designed protrusions 31 on both sides. The size, shape, and position of these protrusions 31 are precisely designed according to the specifications and position of the L-shaped rod on the plastic block 2. When the rubber sleeve 3 is tightly fitted onto the plastic block 2, the protrusions 31 on both sides can just completely cover the two ends of the L-shaped rod. This design not only makes the overall structure more beautiful and neat in appearance, but also protects the two ends of the L-shaped rod, preventing them from being damaged by external impacts or other factors, thereby improving the overall performance and durability of the product.
[0035] The plastic block 2 and the L-shaped rod 21, as well as the rubber sleeve 3 and the protrusions 31, are all formed in one piece using injection molding. During injection molding, specific plastic raw materials are injected into a customized mold under high temperature and high pressure, causing the plastic block 2 and the L-shaped rod to fuse tightly into an inseparable whole structure, greatly improving the stability of their connection. Similarly, the protrusions 31 on both sides of the rubber sleeve 3, which is fitted over the plastic block 2, are also formed in one piece with the main body of the rubber sleeve 3 using injection molding. When the rubber raw material is injected into the mold, the protrusions 31 are formed simultaneously with the main body of the rubber sleeve 3, ensuring a seamless connection between the protrusions 31 and the rubber sleeve 3. This not only ensures the integrity of the overall appearance but also enhances the shielding and protection effect of the rubber sleeve 3 on both ends of the L-shaped rod.
[0036] Both the notch 11 and the L-shaped groove 12 are opened before the tempered glass body 1 is tempered. After the opening of the notch 11 and the L-shaped groove is completed, the glass is then tempered to ensure that the glass has the corresponding functionality and structural strength while meeting the overall product design standards.
[0037] In summary, by creating notches in the tempered glass body and embedding the plastic block 2 into the notches 11 and L-shaped grooves 12 at the corners of the tempered glass, the overall structural strength of the glass can be enhanced, stress can be effectively dispersed, and the risk of breakage can be reduced. The rubber sleeve 3, covering the plastic block 2, provides cushioning protection to prevent damage to both the glass and the plastic block 2. Its anti-slip properties also prevent the glass from sliding. The protrusions 31 on both sides of the rubber sleeve 3 can cover the ends of the L-shaped rod of the plastic block 2. The plastic block 2 and the rubber sleeve 3 can perfectly fill the notches 11 in the tempered glass, improving both aesthetics and protection. Furthermore, the circular holes 32 on the surfaces of the rubber sleeve 3 and the plastic block 2 for bolts to pass through not only allow the three components to be tightly fixed to other parts, but also cleverly avoid the direct installation of bolts on the tempered glass. This installation method not only avoids the risk of glass breakage that might result from directly drilling holes in the tempered glass to install bolts.
