An integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog fabric

Abstract

This utility model discloses an integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth, relating to the field of anti-fog cloth technology. It aims to solve the technical problem of uneven surfactant distribution on the glass sheet caused by full-coverage wiping with anti-fog cloth, resulting in insufficient accuracy of test results. The device includes a housing with a partition in the middle. From left to right, cavities A, B, C, and D are arranged on the front surface of the partition. A wiping mechanism A is arranged in cavity A, and a testing mechanism is arranged in cavity B. This utility model optimizes the design of the bushing and shaft structure. A drive motor drives the bushing to rotate via gear set A, which in turn causes the lower housing B to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, the meshing transmission of gear set B causes the reciprocating screw to move the wiping plate radially within the housing. This allows the anti-fog cloth to move in a radial spiral trajectory as the housing rotates, achieving comprehensive and uniform wiping of the glass sheet surface and improving the problem of uneven surfactant distribution in traditional wiping methods.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-fog cloth technology, and more specifically, to an integrated device for testing the number of times anti-fog cloth can be used. Background Technology

[0002] Anti-fog fabric is a functional material that, through a special process, effectively prevents moisture from condensing into fog on object surfaces. It is widely used in eyeglasses, automotive windows, displays, and other fields. With increasing market demand for anti-fog fabric, accurately testing its usage count is crucial. The number of uses directly reflects the durability and longevity of the anti-fog performance, a key indicator of product quality, and directly impacts the product's practical application effectiveness and market competitiveness.

[0003] Currently, in testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth, the wiping process often involves directly covering the glass slide with the cloth. However, this method results in uneven concentrations of active agent on the sides and center of the glass slide, making uniform wiping difficult. As the number of wipes increases, the active agent in the center of the cloth is depleted before the sides due to overuse, leading to uneven performance degradation during testing. This makes it difficult to accurately simulate real-world usage scenarios, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of the anti-fog cloth usage count test results. Therefore, we propose an integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide an integrated device for testing the number of times an anti-fog cloth can be used, so as to solve the technical problem that the amount of surfactant on the glass slide is uneven due to full coverage wiping with anti-fog cloth, resulting in insufficient accuracy of the test results.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth, including a box, a partition is arranged in the middle of the box, and cavities A, B, C and D are arranged sequentially from left to right on the front surface of the partition. A wiping mechanism A is arranged in cavity A, a testing mechanism is arranged in cavity B, a cleaning mechanism is arranged in cavity C, and a wiping mechanism B is arranged in cavity D.

[0006] The wiping mechanism A includes a hydraulic cylinder. A housing A is arranged at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A bushing is arranged in the middle of the interior of the housing A. The upper surface of the bushing is connected to the output end of a drive motor through a gear set A. The drive motor is arranged at one end inside the housing A. A housing B is connected to the lower surface of the bushing. A reciprocating screw is rotatably mounted in the middle of the interior of the housing B. One end of the reciprocating screw is connected to the lower end of a shaft through a gear set B. The shaft is arranged inside the bushing. A slider is arranged at the lower end of the reciprocating screw. A wiping plate is arranged at the lower end of the slider.

[0007] Preferably, a conveyor belt is arranged in the middle of the partition, the conveyor belt is in the shape of a ring, and glass sheets are arranged on the conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, the testing mechanism includes a telescopic gate, with a water bath arranged at the lower end of the telescopic gate. The front surface of the water bath is connected to the lower surface of a water tank A via a pipe A, and the water tank A is fixed to the front surface of the outer side of the box.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a collection hopper, with a spray head arranged at the upper end of the collection hopper. The spray head is connected to one end of the lower surface of the water tank B through a pipe B, and the water tank B is fixed to the front surface of the outer side of the box. A recycling tank is connected to the lower end of the collection hopper, and the front surface of the recycling tank is connected to the other end of the lower surface of the water tank B through a pipe C.

[0010] Preferably, the slider slides inside the groove, and the groove is formed on the lower inner surface of the housing B, with pulleys arranged on both sides of the slider.

[0011] Preferably, the lower surface of the wiping plate has a convex structure and is made of iron material. An anti-fog cloth is arranged on the lower surface of the wiping plate, and multiple magnets are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the anti-fog cloth.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model designs a bushing and shaft structure, placing the shaft inside the hollow bushing and maintaining a non-contact state. When the drive motor drives the bushing to rotate through gear set A, the lower housing B rotates synchronously, thereby driving the reciprocating screw to rotate. At this time, using the meshing transmission of gear set B, the rotating reciprocating screw can rotate relative to the fixed shaft, driving the wiping plate to move radially within housing B through the screw nut pair. This design allows the anti-fog cloth to move in a spiral trajectory radially while rotating with housing B, achieving bidirectional uniform wiping of the glass surface from the center to the edge and from the edge to the center. This effectively improves the problem of uneven distribution of surfactants in the traditional full-coverage wiping mode and enhances the uniformity of anti-fog cloth wear during testing.

[0014] 2. This utility model utilizes the magnetic attraction properties of the iron wiping plate and magnet structure to achieve convenient fixation of the anti-fog cloth on the lower surface of the wiping plate. The lower surface of the wiping plate has a protruding structure, so that the anti-fog cloth forms a suspended and fitted state after being covered. The magnets, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference, are positioned higher than the surface of the anti-fog cloth. When the hydraulic cylinder pushes the wiping plate down, the magnets will not contact the glass surface, avoiding the risk of scratching while ensuring effective adhesion of the anti-fog cloth. This design simplifies the installation process, avoids interference from fixed parts on the wiping effect, and improves the stability and reliability of the device.

[0015] 3. This utility model, through the design of a water bath structure, can generate a stable fog environment in cavity B to test the anti-fog performance of glass slides entering it. If the glass slide does not fog up, its surfactant can be removed by spraying and cleaning by the cleaning mechanism, and then transferred to the wiping mechanism A by the conveyor belt for another wiping cycle. If the glass slide fogs up, it indicates that the number of times the anti-fog cloth has been used is close to or has reached the performance threshold, and it needs to be replaced. This design, by simulating actual use scenarios, realizes the effective testing and judgment of the number of times the anti-fog cloth has been used. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention relates to an integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth, comprising a housing 1, a partition 2 arranged in the middle inside the housing 1, and cavities A3, B4, C5 and D6 arranged sequentially from left to right on the front surface of the partition 2. A wiping mechanism A7 is arranged in cavity A3, a testing mechanism 8 is arranged in cavity B4, a cleaning mechanism 9 is arranged in cavity C5, and a wiping mechanism B10 is arranged in cavity D6.

[0024] The wiping mechanism A7 includes a hydraulic cylinder 701. A housing A702 is arranged at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 701. A bushing 703 is arranged in the middle of the housing A702. The upper surface of the bushing 703 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 705 through a gear set A704. The drive motor 705 is arranged at one end inside the housing A702. A housing B706 is connected to the lower surface of the bushing 703. A reciprocating screw 707 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the housing B706. One end of the reciprocating screw 707 is connected to the lower end of the shaft 709 through a gear set B708. The shaft 709 is arranged inside the bushing 703. A slider 7010 is arranged at the lower end of the reciprocating screw 707. A wiping plate 7011 is arranged at the lower end of the slider 7010. This invention designs a bushing 703 and a shaft 709 structure, placing the shaft 709 inside the hollow bushing 703 and maintaining a non-contact state. When the drive motor 705 drives the bushing 703 to rotate via the gear set A704, the lower housing B706 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the reciprocating screw 707 to rotate. At this time, through the meshing transmission of the gear set B708, the rotating reciprocating screw 707 can rotate relative to the fixed shaft 709, driving the rubbing plate 7011 radially within the housing B706 via the screw nut pair. The design allows the anti-fog cloth 7014 to rotate with the housing B706 while simultaneously moving radially in a spiral trajectory. This enables bidirectional, uniform wiping of the glass slide 12 surface from the center to the edge and from the edge to the center, effectively improving the uneven distribution of surfactants in traditional full-coverage wiping methods and enhancing the uniformity of anti-fog cloth 7014 wear during testing. The installation of the drive motor 705 allows the wiping plate 7011 to rotate and move radially. A single drive device achieves both functions, thus allowing the anti-fog cloth 7014 to move radially. 014 can thoroughly and evenly wipe the glass slide 12, achieving the effect of saving equipment costs. Through the design of gear sets A704 and B708, which consist of gears A, B, C, and D respectively, gear A is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 705, gear B is fixed to the upper end of the bushing 703 and meshes with gear A, gear C is fixed to one end of the reciprocating screw 707, and gear D is fixed to the lower end of the shaft 709. Gear D meshes with gear C. The meshing of the two sets of gears enables the single power output point of the drive motor 705 to achieve two movement states of the anti-fog cloth 7014, namely rotation and radial movement. By designing a reciprocating screw 707, which consists of a reciprocating threaded rod and a screw nut, when the drive motor 705 rotates the bushing 703 and drives the reciprocating threaded rod to rotate through the rotating housing B706, the screw nut on its surface will move back and forth on its surface, thus controlling the radial movement of the wiping plate 7011.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, a conveyor belt 11 is arranged in the middle of the partition 2. The conveyor belt 11 has a ring-shaped structure, and a glass sheet 12 is arranged on the conveyor belt 11. The installation of the conveyor belt 11 allows the glass sheet 12 to move on its surface, thereby allowing the glass sheet 12 to enter the cavities A3, B4, C5, and D6. There, it is wiped, fogged, and cleaned by the wiping mechanism A7, testing mechanism 8, cleaning mechanism 9, and wiping mechanism B10 installed inside. The ring-shaped structure of the conveyor belt 11 allows the glass sheet 12 on the surface to move cyclically. Thus, during multiple fogging tests of the glass sheet 12, the glass sheet 12 can be transferred back to the wiping mechanism A7 for wiping.

[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, the testing mechanism 8 includes a telescopic gate 801, with a water bath 802 arranged at the lower end of the telescopic gate 801. The front surface of the water bath 802 is connected to the lower surface of a water tank A804 via a pipe A803, and the water tank A804 is fixed to the outer front surface of the housing 1. The telescopic gate 801 of this utility model is installed to block the fog generated by the water bath 802. When the glass plate 12 has not reached the cavity B4, the telescopic gate 801 can close to block the fog. When the glass plate 12 moves into the cavity B4 via the conveyor belt 11, the telescopic gate 801 can open to transmit the fog to the upper end of the conveyor belt 11 and cover the glass plate 12. By designing the structure of the water bath 802, a stable fog environment can be generated in the cavity B4, allowing for anti-fog performance testing of the glass plate 12 entering it. If the glass plate 12... No fogging occurred. The surfactant can be removed by the spray cleaning of the cleaning mechanism 9, and then transferred to the wiping mechanism A7 by the conveyor belt 11 for another wiping cycle. If the glass plate 12 fogs up, it indicates that the number of times the anti-fog cloth 7014 has been wiped is close to or has reached the performance threshold, and it needs to be replaced. This design realizes the effective testing and judgment of the number of times the anti-fog cloth 7014 has been used by simulating actual use scenarios. The installation of water tank A804 and pipe A803 allows the water bath 802 to be replenished with water for fogging, thus achieving the effect of water supply.

[0027] In an embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism 9 includes a collection hopper 901, a spray head 902 is arranged at the upper end of the collection hopper 901, the spray head 902 is connected to one end of the lower surface of the water tank B904 through a pipe B903, and the water tank B904 is fixed to the front surface of the outer side of the box 1. A recycling tank 905 is connected to the lower end of the collection hopper 901, and the front surface of the recycling tank 905 is connected to the other end of the lower surface of the water tank B904 through a pipe C906. This invention, through the design of the spray head 902, allows water to be sprayed onto the surface of the glass slide 12, which is conveyed to the cavity C5 by the conveyor belt 11, rinsing off the surfactants that have been wiped off the glass slide 12. This facilitates the glass slide 12 to be re-transported by the conveyor belt 11 to the wiping mechanism A7 for another wiping operation, thereby testing the number of uses of the anti-fog cloth 7014. The design also incorporates a water tank B904, pipe B903, recovery tank 905, and pipe C906. A pump is located between pipes B903 and C906, allowing water in the water tank B904 to be actively transported to the spray head 902 via the pump connected to pipe B903. Water recovered from the collection hopper 901 in the recovery tank 905, after filtration, can be pumped back to the water tank B904 via the pump connected to pipe C906 for reuse, achieving a water recycling effect.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the slider 7010 slides inside the groove 7012, and the groove 7012 is formed on the lower inner surface of the housing B706. Pulleys 7013 are arranged on both sides of the slider 7010. By designing the structure of the slider 7010, pulleys 7013, and groove 7012, this invention provides stable support for the reciprocating screw 707 when it radially moves the wiping plate 7011, stabilizing the movement of the wiping plate 7011 and limiting its direction of movement, thus allowing for stable radial movement.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, the lower surface of the wiping plate 7011 has a protruding structural shape and is made of iron material. An anti-fog cloth 7014 is arranged on the lower surface of the wiping plate 7011, and multiple magnets 7015 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the anti-fog cloth 7014. This invention utilizes the magnetic attraction properties of the iron wiping plate 7011 and magnet 7015 to conveniently fix the anti-fog cloth 7014 to the lower surface of the wiping plate 7011. The lower surface of the wiping plate 7011 has a protruding structure, so that the anti-fog cloth 7014 forms a suspended and adhered state after being covered. The magnets 7015, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference, are positioned higher than the surface of the anti-fog cloth 7014. When the hydraulic cylinder 701 pushes the wiping plate 7011 down, the magnets 7015 will not contact the surface of the glass plate 12, avoiding the risk of scratching while ensuring that the anti-fog cloth 7014 is effectively adhered. This design simplifies the installation process, avoids interference from the fixing components on the wiping effect, and improves the stability and reliability of the device.

[0030] Working Principle: This embodiment provides an integrated device for testing the number of uses of anti-fog cloth. During use, the operator first needs to connect an external power supply to the device and control its operation via the control panel. The operator rotates and opens the rotating side plates on both sides of the housing 1 and the side plate mounted on the front surface. After the side plates are opened, the operator moves the anti-fog cloth 7014 to be tested and the glass plate 12 into the housing 1. The glass plate 12 is placed on the conveyor belt 11, and the anti-fog cloth 7014 is attached to the lower surface of the wiping plate 7011. After attachment, the operator attaches magnets 7015 along its side, using the magnets 7015 to fix the anti-fog cloth 7014 to the lower surface of the wiping plate 7011. After the anti-fog cloth 7014 is fixed in place, the operator starts the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 starts rotating to transfer the glass slide 12 placed on the surface. When the glass slide 12 moves into the cavity A3 and is placed under the wiping mechanism A7, the conveyor belt 11 stops moving, and the hydraulic cylinder 701 in the wiping mechanism A7 starts to descend, moving the output end connected housing A702 and housing B706. After housing A702 and housing B706 descend, the wiping plate 7011 on their surfaces also descends synchronously. When the wiping plate 7011 descends and sticks to the surface of the glass slide 12, the hydraulic cylinder 701 stops running, the drive motor 705 runs, and drives the bushing 703 to rotate through the gear set A704. After the bushing 703 rotates, the housing B706 connected to its lower end will rotate. After the housing B706 rotates, the wiping plate 701 inside it will rotate. The wiping plate 7011, carrying the anti-fog cloth 7014 fixed on its lower surface, rotates and wipes the surface of the glass plate 12. The shaft 709, fixed inside the housing A702, does not rotate with the bushing 703 and housing B706. The non-rotating shaft 709 drives the reciprocating screw 707 to rotate via the gear set B708 ​​at its lower end. After the reciprocating screw 707 rotates, the wiping plate 7011 connected to its surface moves radially, coordinating with its own rotation to move spirally. This allows for a comprehensive and even wiping of the surface of the glass plate 12. After the glass plate 12 is fully wiped, the drive motor 705 stops, and the hydraulic cylinder 701 raises the wiping plate 7011, causing the anti-fog cloth 7014 to leave the surface of the glass plate 12. After leaving the glass slide 12, the conveyor belt 11 continues to move the glass slide 12 into the cavity B4. Inside the cavity B4, the glass slide 12 is covered by fog generated by the water bath 802, performing an anti-fog test. A sensor installed inside the cavity B4 detects whether fog has formed on the glass slide 12. If no fog forms, the conveyor belt 11 continues to move the glass slide 12 into the cavity C5. At this time, the spray head 902 located at the upper end of the cavity C5 sprays water to wash away the surfactant covered by the anti-fog cloth 7014 on the glass slide 12. After washing, the glass slide 12 moves in a circular motion with the conveyor belt 11 and is moved back to the wiping mechanism A7 for a second wiping operation with the anti-fog cloth 7014.At this time, the number of uses of the anti-fog cloth 7014 is counted. When the glass plate 12 moves into the cavity B4 for anti-fog testing and fogging occurs on its surface, the number of uses of the anti-fog cloth 7014 fixed in the surface wiping mechanism A7 has reached the threshold. The conveyor belt 11, hydraulic cylinder 701, drive motor 705, and water bath 802 in this utility model are all controlled by programs pre-set by the operator on the control panel.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
