Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical glass processing technology, specifically to a glass cleaning fixture. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of electronic devices, the market demand for ultra-thin glass (usually referring to glass with a thickness of less than 1mm) is increasing. Cleaning is a crucial step in the production and processing of ultra-thin glass.
[0003] Currently, the traditional ultra-thin glass cleaning process involves placing processed glass sheets together in a container filled with alcohol and then using ultrasonic vibration for cleaning. This traditional cleaning method has several drawbacks: direct contact between the glass sheets during ultrasonic cleaning can easily cause collisions, resulting in chipped edges and corners, thus damaging the glass; stacking glass sheets together prevents the glass surface from receiving sufficient ultrasonic vibration, leading to incomplete cleaning and poor cleaning results; and different sizes of glass must be cleaned in batches or with custom-made fixtures, significantly impacting processing efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass cleaning fixture to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem of glass damage in existing technologies.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a glass cleaning clamp, including a main frame, railings and clamping components;
[0007] The main frame is square in shape and is formed by two horizontal beams and two vertical beams connected in sequence.
[0008] The railing consists of multiple sections, arranged at horizontal intervals within the main frame.
[0009] Both ends of the railing are connected to the crossbeams of the main frame via adjustment mechanisms;
[0010] The side of the railing is fitted with a clamping component, which has multiple grooves. The grooves on two adjacent clamping components that are in the same position form a bayonet.
[0011] According to the above scheme, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment screw and an adjustment nut adapted to the adjustment screw;
[0012] The two crossbeams of the main frame are respectively provided with strip-shaped holes to form transverse guide rails; the upper end of the adjusting screw passes through the transverse guide rails and the connecting hole located at the end of the rail section, and is locked by the adjusting nut.
[0013] According to the above scheme, the clamping component is a clamping plate, which is connected to the railing; both sides of the clamping plate are working sides, and the groove is provided on the working side of the clamping plate.

[0015] According to the above scheme, a micro-nano particle coating is applied to the groove of the clamping plate.
[0016] According to the above scheme, the micro / nano particles are nano-silica particles or nano-alumina particles.
[0017] According to the above scheme, the groove can be an arc-shaped groove.
[0018] According to the above scheme, the groove is a V-shaped groove.
[0019] According to the above scheme, the glass cleaning fixture also includes a support frame and a support plate; the support frame is located between two adjacent rails, and the support plate is installed on the support frame.
[0020] According to the above scheme, the support plate has an upward support groove; the bottom of the glass to be cleaned is placed in the support groove.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the two adjacent clamping components are designed with paired grooves to form a bayonet, which can clamp and clean multiple glasses at the same time. Each glass is clamped separately, and there is no contact between two adjacent glasses. No collision will occur during the cleaning process, which solves the problem of glass damage in the prior art and is conducive to cleaning the glass surface and achieving good cleaning effect.

[0024] 3. In this utility model, the clamping component is made of flexible material, and the surface of the clamping component is designed with a micro-nano particle coating, which can increase the surface roughness, form more contact points with the glass surface, thereby increasing the friction and improving the clamping stability; at the same time, it also enhances the wear resistance and chemical stability of the clamping component.

[0033] To better understand this utility model, it will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] like Figures 1-3 The glass cleaning fixture shown is specifically an ultra-thin glass cleaning fixture, including a main frame, railings 3 and clamping components;
[0035] The main frame is square in shape and is formed by two horizontal beams 1 and two vertical beams 2 connected in sequence.
[0036] There are multiple rails 3, which are arranged at horizontal intervals within the main frame.
[0037] The two ends of the railing 3 are respectively connected to the crossbeam 1 of the main frame through an adjustment mechanism;
[0038] Clamping components are installed on the side of the railing 3. These clamping components have multiple grooves 4.1. The grooves 4.1 on adjacent clamping components (located on two separate railings 3) form a locking slot. Each piece of glass 7 to be cleaned is respectively secured within its corresponding locking slot. Figure 6 As shown.
[0039] In this utility model, the adjustment mechanism can drive the railing 3 to move laterally along the main frame, and the distance between two adjacent railings 3 changes, thereby adjusting the gap between the clamping components on the two adjacent railings 3.
[0040] In this invention, multiple slots are formed between two adjacent clamping components, which can clamp multiple glass pieces 7 for cleaning at the same time; and the glass pieces 7 will not come into contact with each other, so they will not be damaged during the cleaning process.
[0041] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting screw 6 and an adjusting nut adapted to the adjusting screw 6;
[0042] The two crossbeams 1 of the main frame are respectively provided with strip-shaped holes to form transverse guide rails 5; the upper end of the adjusting screw 6 passes through the transverse guide rail 5 and the connecting hole at the end of the railing 3, and is locked by the adjusting nut on the outside of the transverse guide rail 5 and the railing 3, as shown. Figure 4 As shown.
[0043] In this invention, by adjusting the position of the adjusting screw 6 within the transverse guide rail 5, and then adjusting the position of the railing 3, the gap between the clamping components of adjacent railing 3 can be adjusted to meet the cleaning requirements of glass 7 of different thicknesses; after the position of the adjusting screw 6 is adjusted to the correct position, it can be locked by adjusting the nut.
[0044] Preferably, the clamping component is a clamping plate 4, and the middle part of the clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the railing 3 (specifically, it can be a bolt connection); the two sides of the clamping plate 4 are the working sides, and the groove 4.1 is provided on the working side of the clamping plate 4. The groove 4.1 of the clamping plate 4 is a trapezoidal groove; the adjacent working side grooves 4.1 on the two railings 3 are arranged in pairs to form multiple bayonets, which can simultaneously install multiple pieces of glass 7 to be cleaned.
[0045] In this invention, the clamping plate 4 is made of a flexible material (such as Teflon) to avoid damaging the glass 7.
[0046] In this invention, a micro-nano particle coating is applied to the surface of the clamping plate 4 (specifically, within the groove on the working side), such as... Figure 5As shown, the micro / nano particles are nano-silica particles or nano-alumina particles. When in contact with ultrathin glass, the micro / nano particles can increase the surface roughness. These tiny particles act like tiny "protrusions," forming more contact points with the glass surface, thereby increasing friction. For example, the particle size of the nano-silica particles can be between 10 and 100 nanometers. Particles of this size can effectively improve the clamping force without damaging the glass surface. The nano-silica coating prepared by physical vapor deposition generally has a thickness between 50 and 500 nanometers. This thickness range can effectively increase the surface roughness without affecting the overall dimensional accuracy of the fixture. Regarding the arrangement of the nano-silica particles in the coating, the ordered close packing of the nano-silica particles can be achieved through some special preparation processes or under specific conditions. For example, by employing self-assembly technology, the interaction forces such as electrostatic and van der Waals forces between particles, as well as the chemical modification of the substrate surface or the guidance of templates, can enable particles to be arranged in a close-packed manner to a certain extent. Common close-packed structures include face-centered cubic close packing and hexagonal close packing. Ordered close-packing arrangement can give the coating a higher density and a more uniform structure, thereby improving the coating's hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
[0047] In this utility model, the shape and size of the clamping plate 4 are carefully designed. Specifically, the working side of the clamping plate 4 is designed with a groove 4.1. The groove 4.1 can be an arc groove or a V-shaped groove. Glass 7 of different thicknesses are stably placed in the groove 4.1, and can still keep the glass 7 in its original position when subjected to the impact of cleaning water flow or equipment vibration.
[0048] In this invention, the width and depth of the groove 4.1 of the clamping plate 4 are determined according to the thickness of the glass 7, and the clamping part 7.1 of the glass 7 is as follows: Figure 6As shown. Generally, for glass 7 with a thickness of 0.1~0.5mm, the depth of the groove 4.1 is designed to be between 3~5mm. A smaller depth of groove 4.1 can reduce the obstruction of the glass 7 surface, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can fully contact the entire surface of the glass 7, while also providing sufficient clamping force. For example, when cleaning 0.2mm thick ultra-thin glass, the depth of groove 4.1 is set to 4mm. Experiments have verified that this ensures the stability of glass 7 during the cleaning process and achieves the best cleaning effect. The width of the groove 4.1 of the clamping plate 4 is moderate. If the width of groove 4.1 is too large, it will increase the overall weight of the clamp, making operation inconvenient, and may generate a large impact force on the glass 7 due to inertia during the cleaning process; if the width of groove 4.1 is too small, it may not be able to provide sufficient rigidity and clamping force. For ultra-thin glass with a thickness of 0.1~0.5mm, the width of the groove 4.1 is controlled between 1.5~2.5mm. Specifically, when cleaning glass 7 with a thickness of 0.2mm, the width of the groove 4.1 is designed to be 2mm. This ensures that the clamp is lightweight while effectively resisting external forces during the cleaning process and stably clamping the glass 7.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The glass cleaning fixture shown includes a main frame, railings 3, an adjustment mechanism, and clamping components. The two crossbeams 1 and two longitudinal beams 2 of the main frame are made of high-strength materials (such as Q235 carbon steel), providing sufficient rigidity and stability. Parallel transverse guide rails 5 are respectively installed on the two crossbeams 1 of the main frame. These transverse guide rails 5 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, and their surfaces are hard-anodized to improve wear resistance and smooth sliding. The adjustment mechanism includes a stainless steel adjusting screw 6 and an adjusting nut. One end of the adjusting screw 6 passes through a connecting hole on the transverse guide rail 5 and the railings 3, and is locked by the adjusting nut. The railings 3 connect to a clamping plate 4, and the working side surface of the clamping plate 4 is coated with a micro-nano particle coating, such as… Figure 5 As shown. The adjustment mechanism is controlled to move within the transverse guide rail 5 by adjusting the screw 6. The length of the transverse guide rail 5 can be adjusted as needed, generally between 100 and 500 mm. The gap between two adjacent clamping plates 4 can be adjusted according to different sizes of ultra-thin glass to ensure the firmness and stability of the clamping.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] The other structures in this second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, except for the following settings: Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the glass cleaning fixture also includes a support frame 8 and a support plate 9; the support frame 8 is located between two adjacent rails 3, and the support plate 9 (which can be bolted) is installed on the support frame 8. The support plate 9 has an upward support groove 9.1; the bottom of the glass 7 to be cleaned is located in the support groove 9.1; the support groove 9.1 is lower than the side grooves 4.1.
[0053] In this embodiment, the two ends of the support frame 8 can be connected to the crossbeams 1 at both ends (specifically, the support frame 8 can pass through the transverse guide rail 5 on the crossbeam 1 and be connected by bolts). The support frame 8 can be designed to be movably connected to the crossbeam 1, and the position of the support frame 8 can be adaptively adjusted according to the position of the side rails 3.
[0054] In this embodiment, the support plate 9 can be made of the same material as the clamping plate 4; the glass 7 to be cleaned is positioned on both sides within the slots (side clamping positions 7.1 as shown). Figure 6 As shown), the bottom is located within the support groove 9.1 of the support plate 9 (bottom support position 7.2 as shown). Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the design of the support groove 9.1 can effectively improve the clamping stability of the glass 7.
[0055] In this embodiment, the main frame has dimensions of 295mm × 220mm × 40mm; three transverse guide rails 5 are installed on each of the two crossbeams 1 of the main frame, and each transverse guide rail 5 is equipped with four railings 3. The glass 7 to be cleaned has dimensions of 11mm × 11mm × 0.2mm. The two sides of the glass 7 are clamped between adjacent clamping plates 4, and the bottom of the glass 7 is located in the support groove 9.1. During cleaning, the small bubbles generated by the ultrasonic waves impact the surface of the glass 7 and remove dirt, achieving the ideal cleaning effect.
[0056] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0057] Adjust the adjustment mechanism according to the size of the glass 7 so that the groove 4.1 of the clamping plate 4 can fit tightly against the edge of the glass 7;
[0058] Place both sides of the glass 7 into the grooves 4.1 of the clamping plate 4, with the bottom of the glass 7 located in the support groove 9.1 to ensure a firm clamping.
[0059] Place the glass cleaning fixture holding glass 7 into the cleaning equipment and perform the cleaning operation according to the operating instructions of the cleaning equipment. During the cleaning process, ensure that the position of glass 7 is stable and avoid collision between glass 7 and the parts of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment can use ultrasonic cleaning, spray cleaning or other suitable cleaning methods.
[0060] After cleaning, remove the glass cleaning fixture and take the glass 7 out of the groove 4.1 of the clamping plate 4.
