Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass support technology, specifically to a glass inspection support frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing process, quality control is a crucial step. To ensure that the quality of the glass leaving the factory meets standards, strict random inspections are required during production. This process necessitates the use of support frames to hold the glass in place, facilitating the removal of glass for inspection by workers. However, due to the inconsistent thickness and weight of the glass produced by glass manufacturers, the versatility of support frames is limited. Different support frames are needed for glass of varying thicknesses or weights. Using the same support frames for different thicknesses or weights can easily lead to the frames tipping over. This is especially problematic when workers remove glass from the support frame, disrupting the balance of forces between the remaining glass and the support. The shift in the center of gravity reduces the stability of the support frame, potentially causing it to tip over and break the glass, resulting in direct economic losses and production delays. Therefore, we have proposed a glass inspection support frame to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a glass inspection support frame to solve the problem of low versatility of support frames.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a glass inspection support frame, including a support plate, with a plurality of first slots and second slots respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the support plate, and the first slots and second slots corresponding to each other. The first slots are configured as "U"-shaped slots, and the second slots are configured as "U"-shaped slots. The first slots are used to place thick glass, and when the thick glass is located in the first slot, it is perpendicular to the support plate. The second slots are used to place thin glass, and when the thin glass is located in the second slot, it is inclined to the support plate.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: Due to the weight of thick glass, tilting it could easily cause the support frame to tip over. Therefore, the first slot adopts a "U"-shaped structure, providing stable vertical support for the thick glass. The close fit between the slot's side walls and the thick glass effectively distributes the pressure from the glass's weight, enhancing support stability and preventing the thick glass from shaking or tipping over during inspection, thus reducing the risk of breakage. The "U"-shaped design of the second slot allows thin glass to be placed at an angle, which not only accommodates the lightweight and slippery nature of thin glass but also guides workers to easily handle it. Simultaneously, the tilted placement reduces contact stress between the thin glass and the slot, preventing scratches and cracks on the glass surface caused by pressure. The corresponding first and second slots allow the support frame to accommodate glass of different thicknesses, effectively improving the equipment's versatility and avoiding the hassle of frequently changing the support frame due to differences in glass specifications. This significantly improves inspection efficiency and reduces equipment and labor costs.

[0006] Preferably, as an improvement, the opening width of both the first card slot and the second card slot is set to 4mm, the bottom width of both the first card slot and the second card slot is set to 3mm, the depth of both the first card slot and the second card slot is set to 6mm, and the bottom of the first card slot is rounded to form a semi-circle.

[0007] The beneficial effects are as follows: The opening width of the first and second slots is set to 4mm, and the bottom width is set to 3mm, forming a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This not only facilitates the quick insertion of glass into the first or second slot, but also restricts the lateral displacement of the glass within the first or second slot through the narrow bottom, ensuring that the glass is placed stably and avoiding the impact of glass shaking on the detection accuracy during inspection. The bottom of the first slot is rounded into a semi-circular shape, which can effectively reduce the stress concentration between the thick glass and the bottom of the slot, prevent sharp edges from squeezing and breaking the glass edges. At the same time, the smooth surface can reduce frictional resistance when the glass is inserted and removed, reduce the risk of glass scratches, and extend the service life of the glass.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the spacing between two adjacent first or second card slots is set to 12-18 mm.

[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: On the one hand, the appropriate spacing can ensure that the glass placed in the first or second slot maintains a safe distance, avoiding the glass from squeezing and colliding with each other due to the small spacing, thereby reducing the risk of scratches on the glass surface and damage to the edges and corners, and effectively protecting the quality of the finished glass product; on the other hand, this spacing range can ensure that the first or second slots can be densely arranged on the support plate, increasing the number of glass that can be supported per unit area, meeting the support capacity requirements during large-scale inspections, and also providing sufficient operating space for staff to facilitate the quick and accurate extraction and placement of glass, thereby improving inspection efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the support plate has a hollow groove in the middle.

[0011] The beneficial effects are as follows: the slot effectively reduces the weight of the support plate itself, lowers the overall center of gravity while ensuring structural strength, enhances the stability of the support frame during the placement or removal of glass, and reduces the risk of tipping over due to a shift in the center of gravity.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, a connecting rod is provided inside the slot.

[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: when the glass is placed on the support frame through the first or second slot, the connecting rod can distribute the pressure from the glass, avoid deformation caused by weakening the strength of the support plate due to the opening of the slot, ensure that the support frame remains stable and reliable when bearing heavy objects, and greatly reduce the risk of tipping over.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, handles are provided at both ends of the support plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects are as follows: by setting up handles, it provides workers with a stable and comfortable grip point, which can effectively distribute the weight when transferring the support frame and the glass it carries, avoiding hand discomfort and safety hazards caused by directly lifting the edge of the support plate. At the same time, it enables more precise handling control by holding with both hands, reducing the risk of glass breakage caused by shaking during the handling process. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the support frame according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0019] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: support plate 1, first slot 2, second slot 3, empty slot 4, connecting rod 5, handle 6, and reinforcing rib 7.

[0020] Example

[0021] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, Figure 1The glass inspection support frame shown includes a support plate 1. Handles 6 are integrally formed at the middle of both the left and right ends of the support plate 1, and reinforcing ribs 7 are integrally formed between the handles 6 and the support frame. Several first slots 2 and second slots 3 are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 1. In this embodiment, the first slots 2 are located above the second slots 3, and the first slots 2 and the second slots 3 correspond to each other. The first slots 2 are set as "U"-shaped slots, and the second slots 3 are set as "U"-shaped slots. The first slots 2 are used to place thick glass, and when the thick glass is in the first slots 2, it is perpendicular to the support plate 1. The second slots 3 are used to place thin glass, and when the thin glass is in the second slots 3, it is inclined to the support plate 1.

[0022] The opening width of the first card slot 2 and the second card slot 3 is set to 4mm, the bottom width of the first card slot 2 and the second card slot 3 is set to 3mm, the depth of the first card slot 2 and the second card slot 3 is set to 6mm, and the bottom of the first card slot 2 is rounded to form a semi-circle. The distance between two adjacent first card slots 2 or second card slots 3 is set to 12-18mm. In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent first card slots 2 or second card slots 3 is set to 15mm.

[0023] like Figure 2 The support plate 1 shown has a slot 4 in the middle. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly installed between the left and right inner walls of the slot 4. In this embodiment, there are two connecting rods 5, which are symmetrically fixedly installed between the left and right inner walls of the slot 4.

[0024] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0025] When staff need to place thin glass in the support frame, the second slot 3 is placed with the first slot 2 facing down, and then the thin glass is placed into the second slot 3. Since the bottom of the second slot 3 is flat, the thin glass tilts under the action of gravity until the bottom end abuts against one corner of the bottom of the second slot 3. The tilt angle guides the staff to pick it up easily. At the same time, the tilting reduces the contact stress between the thin glass and the slot, preventing the glass surface from being scratched or broken due to squeezing.

[0026] When workers need to place thick glass in the support frame, they should place the first slot 2 facing upwards and the second slot 3 facing downwards, and then put the thick glass into the first slot 2. Since the first slot 2 adopts a "U"-shaped structure, it can provide stable vertical support for the thick glass. By using the side walls of the slot to fit tightly with the thick glass, the pressure brought by the weight of the glass can be effectively distributed, enhancing the stability of the support and preventing the thick glass from shaking or tipping over during the inspection process, thus reducing the risk of breakage.
