Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production equipment technology, and in particular to a basket for chemical tempering of glass. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical tempering of glass is a method that enhances the surface stress of glass through ion exchange, suitable for processing large-size ultra-thin glass. This type of large-size ultra-thin glass is widely used in electronic device screens, solar panels, and building curtain walls. However, due to its ultra-thin nature, large-size ultra-thin glass has lower mechanical strength and is prone to breakage during handling and loading / unloading. Therefore, in the tempering process of large-size ultra-thin glass, baskets are commonly used to support and fix the glass, and cranes are used to transport the baskets, allowing the glass to be transferred between the tempering furnace, washing tank, and salt bath.

[0003] Existing glass-carrying baskets typically place a single sheet of glass horizontally within the basket's receiving cavity, while multiple sheets are stacked along their thickness within the cavity to support the glass. However, a certain amount of space remains unused between the top of the glass and the top of the basket, limiting the number of sheets that can be transported at once and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the rapid temperature changes during the chemical tempering process cause stress on the glass. Because the glass is placed horizontally within the receiving cavity, significant deformation occurs along its long side, further reducing the yield rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a basket for chemical tempering of glass, which aims to improve production efficiency and reduce the deformation of glass, thereby increasing the yield of glass.

[0012] And / or, the first side tooth includes a first sub-tooth and a second sub-tooth, the first sub-tooth having the partition tooth on the side facing one of the sub-cavities, and the second sub-tooth having the partition tooth on the side facing the adjacent other sub-cavity; wherein, the first sub-tooth and the second sub-tooth are welded together, and the two ends of the first sub-tooth and the second sub-tooth are respectively connected to two mounting brackets; or, the first sub-tooth and the second sub-tooth are arranged parallel along the long side direction, and the two ends of the first sub-tooth and the second sub-tooth are respectively connected to two mounting brackets.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mother basket frame includes:

[0014] The base is provided with a toothed groove. The base has two long sides and two short sides that are connected end to end. The connection between each long side and a short side forms a corner.

[0015] Four pillars, each positioned at a corner, are arranged so that the four pillars and the base together form the receiving cavity; and

[0016] At least two second side teeth, each second side tooth having its two ends connected to the two columns respectively, and each second side tooth extending along the short side direction, with a limiting groove provided on the side of each second side tooth facing the sub-chamber;

[0017] Each of the aforementioned mounting brackets is mounted on one of the long sides and located between the two of the aforementioned columns.

[0018] In one embodiment, each of the columns includes a main rod, an auxiliary rod, and a connecting rod. The main rod is located at a corner. The auxiliary rod is spaced apart from the main rod along the long side. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the main rod and the auxiliary rod. The two ends of the second side tooth are respectively connected to two connecting rods arranged opposite to each other.

[0019] And / or, the second side teeth include a plurality of them, and the plurality of second side teeth are spaced apart along the extension direction of the column.

[0020] In one embodiment, the base includes a base plate and bottom teeth. The base plate has two long sides and two short sides that are connected end to end. The bottom teeth are disposed on the base plate and located in the sub-cavity. The bottom teeth have tooth grooves on the side facing the sub-cavity.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second side tooth includes a first support rod and a first rack. The two ends of the first support rod are respectively connected to two columns, and the first support rod extends along the short side direction. The first rack is disposed on the first support rod and extends along the short side direction. The limiting groove is provided on the side of the first rack facing the sub-cavity.

[0026] In one embodiment, the basket for chemically tempering glass further includes pressure teeth, which are movably disposed within the sub-cavity and are used to limit the top of the glass within the sub-cavity.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model divides the accommodating cavity of the basket into at least two sub-chambers through a separating component, allowing at least two rows of glass to be stacked simultaneously, thus improving glass loading efficiency and enabling more glass loading tasks to be completed in the same amount of time, thereby increasing production efficiency. Furthermore, after setting at least two sub-chambers along the length of the mother basket frame, the glass needs to be stacked vertically within these sub-chambers. During glass processing, the vertical stacking method ensures that the horizontal stress on the glass mainly acts along the shorter side of the glass. Since the shorter side is relatively short, the stress-bearing area is small, and the deformation of the glass in the horizontal direction is reduced accordingly. Moreover, since the longer side of the glass is vertically positioned, the vertical deformation of the glass is also reduced under the influence of gravity, effectively reducing glass deformation caused by stress and ensuring the quality of glass tempering.

[0042] Chemical tempering of glass is a method that enhances the surface stress of glass through ion exchange, suitable for processing large-size ultra-thin glass. This type of large-size ultra-thin glass is widely used in electronic device screens, solar panels, and building curtain walls. However, due to its ultra-thin nature, large-size ultra-thin glass has lower mechanical strength and is prone to breakage during handling and loading / unloading. Therefore, in the tempering process of large-size ultra-thin glass, baskets are commonly used to support and fix the glass, and cranes are used to transport the baskets, allowing the glass to be transferred between the tempering furnace, washing tank, and salt bath.

[0043] Existing glass-carrying baskets typically place a single sheet of glass horizontally within the basket's receiving cavity, while multiple sheets are stacked along their thickness within the cavity to support the glass. However, a certain amount of space remains unused between the top of the glass and the top of the basket, limiting the number of sheets that can be transported at once and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the rapid temperature changes during the chemical tempering process cause stress on the glass. Because the glass is placed horizontally within the receiving cavity, significant deformation occurs along its long side, further reducing the yield rate.

[0044] In this setup, when the glass is laid horizontally, its longer side is positioned horizontally, while its shorter side is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the container. During the chemical tempering process, the rapid temperature changes cause stress on the glass. The horizontal stress acts on the longer side, causing significant deformation. The vertical stress acts on the shorter side, but gravity neutralizes this stress, resulting in less deformation on the shorter side. The combined effect of these two factors—significant deformation on the longer side—directly impacts the yield rate, thus reducing it.

[0045] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a basket 100 for chemical tempering of glass, which aims to improve production efficiency and reduce the deformation of glass, thereby increasing the yield of glass.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment of this utility model, the glass chemical tempering basket 100 includes a mother basket frame 1 and at least one dividing component 2. The mother basket frame 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11. At least one dividing component 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 to divide the receiving cavity 11 into at least two sub-cavities 111. The at least two sub-cavities 111 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the mother basket frame 1. The dividing component 2 is provided with dividing teeth 2211 on the side facing the sub-cavities 111. The dividing teeth 2211 are used to limit the side of the glass placed in the sub-cavities 111.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mother basket frame 1 serves as the basic structure of the basket 100 used for chemical tempering of glass. It has an internal accommodating cavity 11 for accommodating the glass to be tempered. A separating component 2 is installed within the accommodating cavity 11, dividing it into multiple sub-chambers 111. These sub-chambers 111 are arranged side-by-side along the length of the mother basket frame 1, allowing for the simultaneous stacking of multiple rows of glass. The separating component 2 has separating teeth 2211 on the side facing the sub-chambers 111. These teeth limit the movement of the glass's sides, preventing tilting or wobbling during vertical installation and ensuring stable placement of the glass within the sub-chambers 111, thereby reducing glass damage caused by vibrations during handling or processing.

[0048] The technical solution of this utility model divides the accommodating cavity 11 of the basket into at least two sub-chambers 111 by the dividing component 2, allowing at least two rows of glass to be stacked simultaneously, improving glass loading efficiency and enabling more glass loading tasks to be completed in the same amount of time, thereby increasing production efficiency. Simultaneously, after setting at least two sub-chambers 111 along the length of the mother basket frame 1, the glass needs to be stacked vertically within the sub-chambers 111. During glass processing, the vertical stacking method ensures that the horizontal stress on the glass mainly acts along the shorter side of the glass. Since the shorter side is relatively short, the stress-bearing area is small, and the deformation of the glass in the horizontal direction is reduced accordingly. Furthermore, since the longer side of the glass is vertically positioned, the deformation of the glass in the vertical direction is also reduced under the influence of gravity, effectively reducing glass deformation caused by stress and ensuring the tempering quality of the glass.

[0049] It should be noted that the technical solution of this utility model is an improvement on the existing basket. Therefore, when the accommodating cavity 11 is divided into multiple sub-cavities 111, the load-bearing effect is best when it is divided into two sub-cavities 111. For ease of description, the following description will take the case of two sub-cavities 111 as an example.

[0050] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 The basket frame 1 has two long sides 1211 arranged opposite each other. The partition assembly 2 includes two mounting brackets 21 and a first side tooth 22. The two mounting brackets 21 are respectively located on the two long sides 1211 and are arranged opposite each other. The two ends of the first side tooth 22 are respectively connected to the two mounting brackets 21 to divide the accommodating cavity 11 into two sub-cavities 111. The side of the first side tooth 22 facing each sub-cavity 111 is provided with a partition tooth 2211.

[0051] In this embodiment, the two long sides 1211 of the mother basket frame 1 are arranged opposite to each other, providing an installation base for the partition assembly 2. Two mounting brackets 21 in the partition assembly 2 are respectively fixed to these two long sides 1211 and are arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the first side tooth 22 are respectively connected to these two mounting brackets 21, thereby dividing the accommodating cavity 11 into two sub-cavities 111. The first side tooth 22 has partition teeth 2211 on one side facing each sub-cavity 111, used to limit the side of the glass and ensure the stability of the glass when vertically installed in the sub-cavity 111.

[0052] Optionally, the mounting bracket 21 can be configured with an adjustable structure, allowing the first side tooth 22 to be adjusted within a certain range, thereby changing the size of the two sub-chambers 111. This allows for the simultaneous stacking of two rows of glass of the same size, or two rows of glass of different sizes.

[0053] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first side teeth 22 include multiple first side teeth 22, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 21.

[0054] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the mounting bracket 21 is the height direction of the mounting bracket 21. By setting multiple first side teeth 22, the limiting area between the glass and the first side teeth 22 is increased, ensuring that the side of the glass in the two sub-chambers 111 adjacent to the partition component 2 can be stably limited by the first side teeth 22.

[0055] Optionally, the spacing between two adjacent first side teeth 22 can be equal or unequal, depending on the size of the glass and the loading requirements.

[0056] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The first side tooth 22 includes a first sub-tooth 221 and a second sub-tooth 222. The first sub-tooth 221 has a partition tooth 2211 on the side facing one sub-chamber 111, and the second sub-tooth 222 has a partition tooth 2211 on the side facing the adjacent other sub-chamber 111. The first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 are welded together, and the two ends of the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 are respectively connected to two mounting brackets 21. Alternatively, the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 are arranged in parallel along the long side 1211, and the two ends of the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 are respectively connected to two mounting brackets 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 respectively limit the glass in the two sub-cavities 111. The first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 can be connected into a whole by welding to enhance the stability of the structure.

[0058] It should be noted that when the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 are arranged parallel to each other along the long side 1211 of the mother basket frame 1, the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 can abut against each other to form an integral structure. In this case, the glass in the two sub-cavities 111 will affect each other when stacked. Alternatively, the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 can be arranged alternately. In this case, the glass in the two sub-cavities 111 can be stacked independently without affecting each other.

[0059] Optionally, the first sub-tooth 221 and the second sub-tooth 222 arranged in parallel can be fixed by bolts, pins or other connectors to ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0060] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mother basket frame 1 includes a base 12, four uprights 13, and at least two second side teeth 14. The base 12 is provided with toothed grooves 1221. The base 12 has two long sides 1211 and two short sides 1212 connected end to end. The connection between each long side 1211 and a short side 1212 forms a corner 1213. Each upright 13 is provided at a corner 1213 so that the four uprights 13 and the base 12 enclose a receiving cavity 11. The two ends of each second side tooth 14 are respectively connected to two uprights 13, and each second side tooth 14 extends along the direction of the short side 1212. Each second side tooth 14 has a limiting groove 141 on the side facing the sub-cavity 111. Each mounting bracket 21 is provided on a long side 1211 and located between two uprights 13.

[0061] In this embodiment, the mother basket frame 1 includes a base 12, four uprights 13, and at least two second side teeth 14. The base 12 serves as the basic structure and has grooves 1221 for engaging with the partition assembly 2 to limit the bottom of the glass. The base 12 is rectangular, including two oppositely arranged long sides 1211 and two oppositely arranged short sides 1212, with each long side 1211 forming a corner 1213 at its connection to a short side 1212. The four uprights 13 are respectively installed at the four corners 1213, and the four uprights 13 and the base 12 together form an accommodating cavity 11. The two ends of the second side teeth 14 are respectively connected to two uprights 13 and extend along the direction of the short side 1212. The side facing the sub-cavity 111 has a limiting groove 141 for limiting the glass. Each mounting bracket 21 is installed on one long side 1211 of the base 12 and located between two uprights 13, providing support for the partition assembly 2.

[0062] Optionally, the column 13 and the second side tooth 14 can be connected by bolts, welding or other means.

[0063] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1and Figure 4 Each column 13 includes a main rod 131, an auxiliary rod 132, and a connecting rod 133. The main rod 131 is located at a corner 1213. The auxiliary rod 132 is spaced apart from the main rod 131 along the long side 1211. The two ends of the connecting rod 133 are connected to the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 respectively, and the connecting rod 133 extends along the long side 1211. The two ends of the second side tooth 14 are connected to the two connecting rods 133 that are arranged opposite to each other.

[0064] In this embodiment, each column 13 includes a main rod 131, an auxiliary rod 132, and a connecting rod 133. The main rod 131 is installed at the corner 1213 of the basket frame 1, and the auxiliary rod 132 is spaced apart from the main rod 131 along the long side 1211. The two ends of the connecting rod 133 are connected to the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132, respectively. The two ends of the second side tooth 14 are connected to the two oppositely arranged connecting rods 133, respectively.

[0065] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 The second side teeth 14 include multiple second side teeth 14, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the column 13.

[0066] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the column 13 is the height direction of the column 13. This allows multiple second side teeth 14 to be provided between two adjacent columns 13, thereby increasing the limiting area between the second side teeth 14 and the glass. This ensures that the side of the glass in the two sub-chambers 111 adjacent to the second side teeth 14 can be limited by multiple second side teeth 14 at the same time, thereby improving stability.

[0067] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 is not specifically limited here and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Commonly used structures can be circular, square or L-shaped.

[0068] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The base 12 includes a base plate 121 and a bottom tooth 122. The base plate 121 has two long sides 1211 and two short sides 1212 connected end to end. The bottom tooth 122 is provided on the base plate 121 and located in the sub-cavity 111. The bottom tooth 122 has a tooth groove 1221 on the side facing the sub-cavity 111.

[0069] In this embodiment, the base 12 includes a base plate 121 and bottom teeth 122. The base plate 121, as the structure of the base 12, has two long sides 1211 and two short sides 1212, forming a rectangular structure. The bottom teeth 122 are mounted on the base plate 121 and located inside the sub-cavity 111. The side of the teeth facing the sub-cavity 111 has a tooth groove 1221 for cooperating with the partition assembly 2 to enhance the limiting effect of the glass.

[0070] Optionally, the bottom teeth 122 are detachably mounted on the base plate 121 to facilitate adjustment or replacement according to different glass sizes and loading requirements.

[0071] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5 The second side tooth 14 includes a first support rod 142 and a first rack 143. The two ends of the first support rod 142 are respectively connected to two columns 13, and the first support rod 142 extends along the short side 1212. The first rack 143 is disposed on the first support rod 142 and extends along the short side 1212. The side of the first rack 143 facing the sub-cavity 111 is provided with a limiting groove 141.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second side tooth 14 includes a first support rod 142 and a first rack 143. The two ends of the first support rod 142 are respectively connected to two columns 13 and extend along the short side 1212 of the mother basket frame 1. The first rack 143 is mounted on the first support rod 142, also extending along the short side 1212, and has a limiting groove 141 for limiting the glass on its side facing the sub-cavity 111. This allows the second side tooth 14 to provide lateral support and limiting for the glass, preventing the glass from tilting during vertical installation.

[0073] Optionally, the first rack 143 can be made of hard alloy or wear-resistant plastic to extend its service life. The shape of the limiting groove 141 can be designed to match the shape of the glass side, either arc-shaped or square, to improve the limiting effect.

[0074] Optionally, the first support rod 142 and the first rack 143 can be connected by welding, bolting, or other methods.

[0075] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 6 The bottom tooth 122 includes a second support rod 1222 and a second rack 1223. The second support rod 1222 is disposed on the bottom plate 121 and extends along the short side 1212. The second rack 1223 is disposed on the second support rod 1222 and extends along the short side 1212. The side of the second rack 1223 facing the sub-cavity 111 is provided with a tooth groove 1221.

[0076] In this embodiment, the bottom tooth 122 includes a second support rod 1222 and a second rack 1223. The second support rod 1222 is mounted on the base plate 121 and extends along the short side 1212 of the mother basket frame 1. The second rack 1223 is mounted on the second support rod 1222 and also extends along the short side 1212. Its side facing the sub-chamber 111 has a toothed groove 1221 for cooperating with the partition assembly 2 to provide limiting support for the bottom of the glass.

[0077] Optionally, the second support rod 1222 and the second rack 1223 can be connected by welding, bolting, or other methods.

[0078] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connecting rod 133 is adjustablely disposed between the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132, and along the short side direction, each connecting rod 133 is disposed opposite to the other connecting rod 133.

[0079] In this embodiment, since the connecting rod 133 is adjustablely disposed between the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132, each connecting rod 133 can move relative to the base 12. Simultaneously, since the second side tooth 14 is mounted on the two opposing connecting rods 133, the height of the second side tooth 14 relative to the base 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the two connecting rods 133 relative to the base 12, thereby accommodating glass of different sizes.

[0080] Understandably, when multiple second side teeth 14 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the main rod 131, the distance between two adjacent second side teeth 14 can be changed by adjusting the height of each second side tooth 14 relative to the base 12 to meet different limiting requirements. To ensure the stability of the second side teeth 14 in limiting the glass, multiple second side teeth 14 can be arranged at equal intervals along the side of the glass.

[0081] Optionally, the connecting rod 133 is threadedly connected to the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 respectively. Along the extension direction of the main rod 131, the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 are respectively provided with multiple mounting holes, and the connecting rod 133 has a through hole. When adjusting the position of the connecting rod 133, the connecting rod 133 is directly moved to the designated position, aligning the through hole with the nearest mounting hole. Simultaneously, the two ends of the connecting rod 133 are locked to the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 respectively using bolts or screws.

[0082] Optionally, the connecting rod 133 can also be connected to the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 via a snap-fit ​​structure. In this case, each end of the connecting rod 133 is provided with a flexible clip, and both the main rod 131 and the auxiliary rod 132 have multiple slots along their extension direction. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the connecting rod 133, simply press the tail of the flexible clip to release it from the slot, and the connecting rod 133 can be moved. After adjusting the connecting rod 133 to the appropriate position, release the tail of the flexible clip, and the head of the flexible clip will re-enter the slot, completing the fixation.

[0083] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The first side tooth 22 is adjustablely positioned between the two mounting brackets 21.

[0084] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 includes two vertical rods spaced apart on the long side 1211 and a horizontal rod connecting the two vertical rods. The two ends of the first side tooth 22 are respectively connected to the two oppositely arranged horizontal rods. It is understood that the mounting structure of the first side tooth 22 is similar to that of the second side tooth 14. Therefore, the first side tooth 22 can also be adjusted via threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection to adjust its height relative to the base 12. Since these two structures have already been described in the adjustment method of the second side tooth 22, they will not be repeated here.

[0085] Optionally, multiple second side teeth 14 and multiple first side teeth 22 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of each sub-chamber 111 to ensure that both sides of the glass can be uniformly supported and limited, maintain the stability of the glass when it is installed vertically, and prevent the glass from shaking.

[0086] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The first side tooth 22, the second side tooth 14 and the bottom tooth 122 all extend along the short side 1212.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first side tooth 22, the second side tooth 14, and the bottom tooth 122 all extend along the short side 1212 of the mother basket frame 1. This allows the first side tooth 22 and the second side tooth 14 to limit the sides of the glass, and the bottom tooth 122 to limit the bottom of the glass. The toothed rack extending along the short side 1212 can adapt to the vertical installation of the glass, ensuring that the glass is limited in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0088] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The mother basket frame 1 also includes a hanger assembly 15, which is connected to the side of the column 13 facing away from the base 12. The hanger assembly 15 has four lifting points 151 corresponding to the four columns 13. Other equipment can use the four lifting points 151 to clamp the basket 100 used for glass chemical tempering.

[0089] In this embodiment, the mother basket frame 1 is also provided with a hanger assembly 15, which is installed on the side of the column 13 away from the base 12. The hanger assembly 15 has four lifting points 151 corresponding to the four columns 13. The four lifting points 151 are used to connect with other handling equipment, such as cranes or automated handling robots, to facilitate the transfer of the basket between different workstations, such as between tempering furnaces, washing tanks and salt baths.

[0090] Optionally, the lifting point 151 can be configured as a lifting lug, hook, or other suitable shape to adapt to different handling equipment and operational needs.

[0091] Understandably, the hanger assembly 15 improves handling efficiency, reduces the risks of manual operation, and enables automated production processes, further enhancing production efficiency and safety.

[0092] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The hanger assembly 15 includes four support members 152 and at least four crossbars 153. Each support member 152 is connected to a main rod 131. Each crossbar 153 has two support members 152 connected to its two ends to form a square structure. The side of the support member 152 facing away from the main rod 131 forms a hanging point 151.

[0093] In this embodiment, the hanging frame assembly 15 includes four support members 152 and at least four crossbars 153. Each support member 152 is connected to a main rod 131 of a column 13, and two support members 152 are connected to each end of the crossbar 153 to form a stable square structure. The side of the support member 152 facing away from the main rod 131 forms a lifting point 151 for connection with handling equipment to achieve stable lifting and transportation of the basket.

[0094] Optionally, multiple crossbars 153 may be provided at intervals along the extension direction of the support member 152, i.e., the height direction of the support member 152, to enhance the structural strength of the hanger assembly 15.

[0095] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The glass chemical tempering basket 100 also includes a pressing tooth 3, which is movably disposed in the sub-chamber 111 and is used to limit the top of the glass in the sub-chamber 111.

[0096] In this embodiment, the basket also includes pressure teeth 3, which are installed in the sub-chamber 111 and are adjustable to limit the top of the glass.

[0097] Understandably, the first side tooth 22, the second side tooth 14, and the bottom tooth 122 limit the three sides of the glass, thus ensuring its stability. The pressure tooth 3 is movably positioned within the sub-cavity 111, pressing directly onto the top of the glass to assist in limiting its position and ensure that the top of the glass is also limited. At this time, the pressure tooth 3 is not connected to the mother basket frame 1; it is only necessary to press the pressure tooth 3 onto the top of the glass after the glass is vertically installed.

[0098] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
