Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air flotation bar testing equipment, and more particularly to an air flotation bar testing device for glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the electronic glass manufacturing industry, the transport of electronic glass is often achieved through a non-contact conveying system composed of air-floating strips. These air-floating strips require high cleanliness to meet the requirements of Class 100 cleanrooms in the electronics industry. After manufacturing the air-floating strips, it is necessary to test whether the internal air permeability meets cleanliness standards; currently, this testing can only be conducted within a Class 100 cleanroom. Due to the uncertainty of the cleanliness of the air-floating strips, if they do not meet the cleanliness requirements and are allowed into the cleanroom for testing, it will lead to cleanroom contamination and significantly impact the clean environment. Furthermore, Class 100 cleanrooms are expensive to build, require significant energy investment, and need a considerable amount of time for maintenance and operation to meet the standards.

[0003] There are also some testing boxes, such as the one with application number 201721383466.X, which is named an environmental testing box and a control device for an environmental monitoring box, but this testing box does not have the function of testing air flotation bars. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is that existing air flotation bar detection methods are prone to causing contamination of the entire cleanroom.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a glass air flotation strip testing device, comprising: a housing assembly, the side wall of which is provided with a testing port, a testing switch door, a placement port, and a placement switch door; and an air flotation strip placement platform assembly, which includes a slide rail, a fixed seat, and a sliding seat. The slide rail is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing assembly, the fixed seat is disposed on the slide rail, and the sliding seat is movably disposed on the slide rail. The support surface of the fixed seat and the support surface of the sliding seat are on the same plane.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sliding seat includes a sliding seat body and a limiting plate, the sliding seat body being movably disposed on a slide rail, and the limiting plate being disposed on the side of the sliding seat body away from the fixed seat.

[0007] In some embodiments, the slide rail has a T-shaped cross-section, and the sliding seat has a groove that is T-shaped and adapted to the slide rail.

[0008] In some embodiments, the glass air flotation strip detection device further includes a filter assembly, which includes a filter and a fan. The top wall of the housing assembly has an air inlet, the filter assembly is disposed at the air inlet, and the fan is located on the side of the filter near the bottom wall of the housing assembly.

[0009] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the housing assembly has an air outlet.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lower sidewall of the housing assembly has sieve holes.

[0011] In some embodiments, the housing assembly further includes a front door disposed on the front sidewall of the housing assembly and located on the upper part of the bottom surface.

[0012] In some embodiments, the glass air flotation strip detection device further includes a humidification component, which is at least partially disposed within the housing assembly.

[0013] In some embodiments, the humidification assembly includes a humidification connecting pipe and a humidification pipe. The humidification pipe is disposed inside the housing assembly and extends along the left-right direction of the housing assembly. The humidification pipe is provided with a plurality of air outlets arranged along the left-right direction of the housing assembly. The humidification connecting pipe is connected to the humidification pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, the glass air flotation strip detection device further includes a thermometer and hygrometer disposed within the housing assembly.

[0015] The technical solution of this application involves inserting an air flotation strip through the placement port. The air flotation strip rests on the sliding seat, and when pushed inward, the sliding seat moves inward until the air flotation strip is completely inside the housing assembly. The fixed seat and the sliding seat jointly support the air flotation strip. After blowing air into the air flotation strip, the gas inside the housing assembly can be collected and detected through the detection port. During detection, both the detection switch door and the placement switch door are closed. The above detection only needs to ensure that the cleanliness inside the housing assembly meets the requirements, and does not require a large cleanroom. The technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem that air flotation strip detection in the prior art can easily cause contamination of the entire cleanroom.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a glass air flotation strip detection device is provided, including: a housing assembly 10 and an air flotation strip placement platform assembly 20. The side wall of the housing assembly 10 is provided with a detection port 11, a detection switch door 12, a placement port 13, and a placement switch door 14. The air flotation strip placement platform assembly 20 includes a slide rail 21, a fixed seat 22, and a sliding seat 23. The slide rail 21 is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing assembly 10, the fixed seat 22 is disposed on the slide rail 21, and the sliding seat 23 is movably disposed on the slide rail 21. The support surfaces of the fixed seat 22 and the sliding seat 23 are on the same plane.

[0031] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the air flotation strip 100 is placed through the placement port 13, rests on the sliding seat 23, and is pushed inward. The sliding seat 23 moves inward until the air flotation strip 100 is completely inside the housing assembly 10. The fixed seat 22 and the sliding seat 23 jointly support the air flotation strip 100. After gas is introduced into the air flotation strip 100, the gas inside the housing assembly 10 can be collected and detected through the detection port 11. During detection, the detection switch door 12 is closed, and the placement switch door 14 is also closed. The above detection only needs to ensure that the cleanliness inside the housing assembly 10 meets the requirements, and a large cleanroom is not required. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem that air flotation strip detection in the prior art can easily cause contamination of the entire cleanroom.

[0032] It should be noted that the bottom surface mentioned above is the partition of the housing assembly 10. There is also a side plate of a certain height below the partition. The partition is provided with sieve holes, and the side plate below the partition is also provided with sieve holes (or can be hollowed out).

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding seat 23 includes a sliding seat body 231 and a limiting plate 232. The sliding seat body 231 is movably mounted on the slide rail 21, and the limiting plate 232 is located on the side of the sliding seat body 231 away from the fixed seat 22. The limiting plate 232 limits the air float 100, preventing the air float 100 from detaching from the sliding seat 23. In addition, the limiting plate 232 can also generate a driving force on the sliding seat body 231, that is, when the air float 100 pushes the limiting plate 232, the limiting plate 232 drives the sliding seat body 231 to move together.

[0034] In some embodiments, the slide rail 21 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the sliding seat 231 has a groove, which is T-shaped and adapted to the slide rail 21. The T-shaped structure allows for multi-angle limiting of the sliding seat 231; for example, the T-shaped structure can limit the sliding seat 231 in the front-to-back direction. Figure 1 The limit is in the Y-axis direction, and in the left and right directions ( Figure 1 The slide rail 21 can move along the X-axis. It should be noted that in other embodiments, there can be two slide rails 21 and two corresponding grooves on the sliding seat 231, so that the movement of the sliding seat 231 is more stable.

[0035] In some embodiments, the glass air flotation strip detection device further includes a filter assembly 30, which includes a filter and a fan. The top wall of the housing assembly 10 has an air inlet, the filter assembly 30 is disposed at the air inlet, and the fan is located on the side of the filter near the bottom wall of the housing assembly 10.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the housing assembly 10 has an air outlet. The air outlet is provided so that when the fan introduces gas into the housing assembly 10, the gas can diffuse outward and is less likely to accumulate inside the housing assembly 10.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower part of the sidewall of the housing assembly 10 has sieve holes 15. The front and rear sidewalls have sieve holes 15, while the left and right sidewalls may not have sieve holes because placement openings 13 are provided on the left and right sides. Figure 1 Left side (people facing) Figure 1 At that time, the left side of the person is mainly used to place the air flotation strip. The setting of the sieve hole 15 makes the gas leave the shell assembly 10 more evenly.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 further includes a front door 16, which is disposed on the front sidewall of the housing assembly 10 and located on the upper part of the bottom surface. The front door 16 facilitates the operation of the air flotation bar detection. For example, a gas pipeline for purging the air flotation bar can be connected through the front door 16. In the above structure, the sieve holes 15 are located below the bottom surface, resulting in a longer path for the gas blown into the filter assembly 30, thus improving the gas replacement effect on the entire housing assembly 10. A bottom plate may or may not be provided below the bottom surface (partition).

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass air flotation strip detection device further includes a humidification component 40, which is at least partially disposed within the housing assembly 10. The humidification component 40 facilitates humidification within the housing assembly 10, simulating a real-world usage environment.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the humidification assembly 40 includes a humidification connecting pipe and a humidification pipe. The humidification pipe is disposed within the housing assembly 10 and extends along the left-right direction of the housing assembly 10. The humidification pipe has multiple air outlets arranged along the left-right direction of the housing assembly 10. The humidification connecting pipe is connected to the humidification pipe. This structure makes the air humidity within the housing assembly 10 more uniform. It should be noted that the detection port 11 is located on the rear side wall of the housing assembly 10 between the sieve hole 15 and the humidification pipe. This spatial arrangement makes it less likely for interference to occur between detection, air blowing, and other processes.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass air-float detection device further includes a thermo-hygrometer 50, which is disposed within the housing assembly 10. This provides high efficiency in detecting humidity and temperature within the housing assembly 10, enabling real-time monitoring of the humidity and temperature inside the housing assembly 10. It should be noted that the thermo-hygrometer 50 is electronic and transmits data wirelessly to a terminal (e.g., a mobile phone). Alternatively, by using a transparent material (entirely or only as an observation window) within the housing assembly 10, data from the thermo-hygrometer 50 can also be obtained.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, the housing assembly 10 is composed of a top plate, side plates, front and rear plates, a lower enclosure plate, and partitions, which are welded or bonded together using transparent PVC to form a relatively sealed space.

[0043] The top plate is located at the very top. An opening in the center is used to install a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter (FFU).

[0044] The side panels are symmetrical, with openings (positioning opening 13) on each panel, and side doors (positioning opening and closing door 14) installed in the openings. The side doors are equipped with latches to ensure a tight seal between the side doors and the side panels. The side doors on the left and right side panels are designed symmetrically.

[0045] The front and rear panels are welded and sealed to the side panels and top panel, respectively. The front and rear panels are symmetrical, with an opening in the lower middle part of the front panel, which is closed by the front door 16. A tube hole (detection port 11) is designed in the middle of the rear panel for the detection gas tube of the particle analyzer to be introduced during detection. The tube hole cover (detection switch door 12) is slightly larger than the tube hole, fixed by a pivot, and covers the tube hole by gravity, sealing it against the rear panel. When it is necessary to open the tube hole cover, simply swing the tube hole cover left and right; when not in use, the tube hole cover will automatically return to its original position to cover the tube hole.

[0046] A partition is designed in the lower part of the enclosure formed by the front and rear panels and the side panels, and the partition has ventilation holes evenly distributed on it.

[0047] Ventilation holes are also evenly distributed around the lower part of the enclosure formed by the front and rear plates and the side plates, i.e., the lower part of the housing assembly 10. These peripheral ventilation holes are all lower than the partition.

[0048] The guide rail (slide rail 21) is horizontally fixed in the middle of the partition, with both ends located at the lower middle part of the side door. A fixed slider seat (fixed seat 22) and a movable slider seat (sliding seat 23) are respectively installed on the guide rail to support the air float 100 to be tested. The movable slider seat has a side edge (limiting plate 232), which can push against the side edge of the movable slider and move it to the right when the air float is pushed in from the left side door.

[0049] A thermometer and hygrometer 50 are installed inside for monitoring the temperature and humidity inside the cleanroom (shell assembly 10). A moisture pipe is installed in the upper middle part of the left and right side panels, located below the top panel. The moisture pipe has clustered small holes. When the cleanroom is in operation, in addition to the clean air filtered by the upper FFUs pressing down into the chamber, moisture can also be sent into the cleanroom through the moisture pipe. The FFU fan speed is adjustable in multiple stages. The blown clean air is filtered by its own high-efficiency filter to meet Class 100 requirements, and is pressed down through the evenly distributed small holes in the lower partition of the chamber, and also dispersed around the chamber through the small holes in the lower surrounding panel.

[0050] In actual use, the FFU needs to be run for a period of time to establish a clean environment. Monitor the temperature and humidity inside the chamber using a thermometer and hygrometer, and adjust the opening of the humidifier hose accordingly to ensure the humidity reaches 45% or higher. Insert the front tube of the particle detector through the tube hole and place it inside the clean chamber. After verifying that the internal cleanliness meets the Class 100 environmental requirements, the air flotation strip can be tested. During testing, insert the cleaned air flotation strip through the left side door of the chamber, push it slowly to the right against the side of the movable slider seat until the air flotation strip is fully inside the chamber and placed on the fixed slider seat. At this point, quickly close the left side door, then open the front door, connect the compressed air pipeline pre-placed on the partition to the quick-connect port on the air flotation strip, and then lock the front door.

[0051] After placing the air flotation strip, introduce compressed air into it, causing the compressed air to spray out from the top of the air flotation strip. After confirming that all doors are locked and the air supply is normal, insert the tubing of the particle detector head through the pipe hole and approach the upper surface of the air flotation strip. Let it stand for five to ten minutes, then extract the compressed air sprayed from the upper surface of the air flotation strip. The test result can then be obtained from the particle detector panel.

[0052] The embodiments of this application have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this application, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.

[0053] While specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the scope and spirit of this application.
