Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove box technology, specifically to an integrated bending glove box. Background Technology

[0002] A glove box is a sealed operating device used for handling materials or processes sensitive to water and oxygen in an inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen) protective atmosphere.

[0003] Currently, the side panels of glove boxes are mostly sealed by integral welding of the box body. The glove box is connected by welding a 10mm thick flange, and the flange is covered with a sealing strip and pressed tightly with the side panel for sealing. The flange needs to be fully welded to the main body of the box body, which has a high labor cost. In addition, full welding requires experienced welders to complete, because everyone's welding habits and skills are different, and there is a certain leakage rate in the weld. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated bending glove box. The production process uses sheet metal bending and grooving processes instead of welding processes, which improves the sealing performance of the box and increases production efficiency.

[0005] Specifically, this utility model discloses an integrated bending glove box, comprising:

[0006] The main body of the enclosure has integrally formed flanges on both sides, and the flanges have grooves.

[0007] A sealing strip is provided within the groove of the flange;

[0008] Side panels of the box are provided on both sides of the main body of the box and are used to connect with the main body of the box to form the main structure of the glove box;

[0009] The edge strip is used to fix the box to the side panel and reduce the gap between the side panel and the main board.

[0010] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that, in the production process, by processing the integrally formed flanged flange, the separate welding of the flange is avoided. At the same time, the pressure strip and sealing ring are set, which reduces material costs and manufacturing costs. More importantly, it reduces the number of welds by 90%, reduces welding deformation, improves the overall leakage rate of the glove box, and further improves the sealing performance.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the enclosure is provided with a beveled edge, and the beveled edge is also provided with a flange.

[0012] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the beveled edge of the enclosure is designed to cooperate with the mainboard of the enclosure and be installed on both sides of the front of the mainboard, so that the entire enclosure forms a mounting surface, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the front glass.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the enclosure is connected to a transfer compartment, one end of which extends into the main body of the enclosure, and both sides of which are equipped with openable compartment doors.

[0014] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the transfer chamber is set up to facilitate the transition when the product is moved into the glove box, and to perform vacuuming, replenishing inert gas, etc. Under negative pressure, very little air enters the chamber, ensuring that less water and oxygen are brought in when the inner chamber door is opened, which helps to maintain a water-free and oxygen-free environment inside the glove box.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressing strip has an L-shaped cross-section and is disposed on both sides of the flange. Two pressing strips are fastened together, and the pressing strip is provided with multiple fixing holes.

[0016] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the pressure strip plays a fixing and pressing role, effectively ensuring the airtightness of the glove box.

[0017] Furthermore, the flanged flange is provided with flanged flange supplementary corners.

[0018] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that, since the entire flange is made by flange processing, there will be missing corners at the bending point of the main body of the box. By setting the flange corner to make up for the missing corners, the integrity of the entire flange is ensured and the use needs are met.

[0019] Furthermore, the mainboard of the enclosure is provided with multiple ventilation holes.

[0020] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the internal environment of the glove box has different requirements during use. By setting vents, different gas pipelines can be connected to achieve vacuuming and replenishment of inert gas, so that the gas environment inside the glove box meets the requirements of waterless and oxygen-free use.

[0021] Furthermore, the transfer chamber includes a chamber cylinder, which is equipped with a pressure gauge and a vent pipe, and the vent pipe is connected to a switch.

[0022] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the pressure gauge is used to detect the air pressure inside the silo, and the vent pipe can be used to replenish inert gas or create a vacuum, ensuring that the gas environment inside the glove box is not disrupted when the transfer silo transfers materials to the glove box.

[0023] Furthermore, the door is connected to a fixed rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bin, and the fixed rod is provided with a handle assembly, which is detachably connected to the bin.

[0024] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the fixed rod plays a connecting role, one end of which can rotate to open the compartment door, and a handle assembly is also provided to facilitate opening the compartment door.

[0025] Furthermore, the handle assembly includes: a handle, a rotating seat, and an extension shaft. The extension shaft and the handle are both connected to the rotating seat. The bottom of the rotating seat is fixed to the fixed rod via a rotating shaft. The handle drives the rotating seat to rotate. The hopper is provided with a limit block. When the hopper door is closed, the extension shaft contacts and is fixed to the limit groove of the limit block.

[0026] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the entire handle assembly can be opened by rotation, which is convenient and easy to operate. When closed, the extension shaft is fixed in the limiting groove. When it needs to be opened, rotating the handle will drive the rotating seat to rotate, which will further extend the extension shaft from the limiting groove, making it convenient to open the compartment door.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing rod is provided with a cylindrical groove, a limiting ball is provided in the cylindrical groove, a spring is provided at the bottom of the limiting ball, and the top of the limiting ball contacts the bottom of the rotating seat.

[0028] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the setting of the limiting ball plays the role of lifting and limiting. By lifting the entire limiting seat, the extension shaft is fixed in the limiting groove and will not move without applying external force to the handle. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an integrated bending glove box, comprising:

[0045] The main body 1 of the enclosure has flanges 2 integrally formed with the main body 1 on both sides. The flanges 2 have grooves 21. The entire main body 1 of the enclosure is formed by bending.

[0046] A sealing strip is provided in the groove 21 of the flange 2;

[0047] Side panels 3 are provided on both sides of the main body of the box and are used to connect with the main body 1 of the box to form the main structure of the glove box;

[0048] The edge strip 4 is used to fix the box side panel 3 to reduce the gap between the box side panel 3 and the box main panel 1.

[0049] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that, in the production process, by processing the integrally formed flange 2, the separate welding of the flange is avoided. At the same time, the pressure strip 4 and the sealing ring are set to increase the sealing performance of the entire glove box and improve production efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the enclosure is provided with a beveled edge 5, and the beveled edge 5 is also provided with a flange 2. The flange 2 of the beveled edge 5 is fixed to the side plate 3 of the enclosure by screws. Since both the flange 2 of the main body 1 and the flange 2 of the beveled edge 5 are provided with grooves 21, a sealing ring is placed in the groove 21 to ensure the sealing performance of the entire enclosure. The groove 21 is processed by stamping, without welding or other methods, which not only improves processing efficiency but also ensures airtightness. There are two beveled edges 5. The main body 1 of the enclosure is provided with bending parts on the upper and lower sides. After the beveled edges 5 are installed, the entire front of the enclosure forms an installation surface, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the front glass.

[0051] Furthermore, the pressure strip 4 has an L-shaped cross-section and is installed on both sides of the flange 2. The two pressure strips 4 are interlocked, as shown below. Figure 6-8 As shown, the edge clamping strip 4 has multiple fixing holes, which communicate with the fixing holes of the flange 2, facilitating the installation of the edge clamping strip 4. The flange 2 is tightly pressed together between the two edge clamping strips 4. Additionally, the side of the edge clamping strip 4 has connecting holes, allowing the two edge clamping strips 4 to be locked and secured, ensuring a tight fit. The edge clamping strip 4 serves a fixing and pressing function, effectively ensuring the airtightness of the glove box.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flange 2 is made by flanging a flat plate. The flange 2 is provided with a flange corner, which is installed by welding and fixed to the bend of the main body 1. It has an arc-shaped groove 21 that matches the groove 21 on the main body 1, and is also used to insert the sealing ring.

[0053] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that, since the entire flange 2 is made by flange processing, there will be missing corners at the bending point of the main body 1 of the box. By setting the flange 2 to make up the missing corners, the integrity of the entire flange 2 is ensured and the use needs are met.

[0054] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the box is provided with multiple ventilation holes 11. The main body 1 of the box has an upper plate, a lower plate and a back plate. Two symmetrically arranged side plates 3 are fixed to form the entire box of the glove box. The front is installed through a glass plate with holes, and gloves are placed in the holes for operation.

[0055] During use, the glove box has different internal environmental requirements. By setting the vent 11, different gas pipes can be connected to achieve vacuuming and replenish inert gas, so that the gas environment inside the glove box meets the requirements of waterless and oxygen-free use.

[0056] In some implementations, the mainboard 1 of the enclosure is connected to a transfer compartment 6, such as... Figure 9-11As shown, one end of the transfer chamber 6 extends into the main board 1 of the box body, and both sides are equipped with openable chamber doors 61. The transfer chamber 6 is designed for the transition when products are moved into the glove box, and is used for vacuuming, replenishing inert gas, etc. Under negative pressure, very little air enters the chamber 611, ensuring that less water and oxygen are brought in when the inner chamber door 61 is opened, which helps to maintain a water-free and oxygen-free environment inside the glove box.

[0057] Furthermore, the transfer chamber 6 includes a chamber 611, which is equipped with a pressure gauge 612 and a vent pipe. The vent pipe is connected to a switch, which can be a manual valve, a solenoid valve, etc. The pressure gauge 612 is used to detect the internal air pressure. The vent pipe can be used to replenish inert gas or create a vacuum, ensuring that the gas environment inside the glove box is not disrupted when the transfer chamber 6 transfers materials to the glove box.

[0058] Furthermore, a fixed rod 62 is connected to the door 61, and a fixed block 7 is installed on one side of the bin 611. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the fixed block 7. One end of the fixed rod 62 is connected to the rotating shaft and rotates outward along the rotating shaft to open and close the door 61. The middle part of the fixed block 7 is fixedly connected to the door 61. The fixed rod 62 is provided with a handle assembly, which is detachably connected to the bin 611. The fixed rod 62 serves as a connector, and one end can rotate to open the door 61. It also has a handle assembly on the mounting plate to facilitate opening the door 61.

[0059] Furthermore, the handle assembly includes: a handle 63, a rotating base 64, and an extension shaft 65. Both the extension shaft 65 and the handle 63 are fixedly installed on the rotating base 64. The bottom of the rotating base 64 is fixed to the fixed rod 62 via a rotating shaft 66. The handle 63 drives the rotating base 64 to rotate. The bin 611 is provided with a limit block 67, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bin 611 and symmetrically arranged with the fixed block 7. When the bin door 61 is closed, the extension shaft 65 enters the limit groove of the limit block 67 and is fixed. The limit groove is opened on the side of the limit block 67. The entire handle assembly is opened by rotation, which is convenient to open and easy to operate. When closed, the extension shaft 65 is fixed in the limit groove. When it needs to be opened, rotating the handle 63 will drive the rotating base 64 to rotate, further extending the extension shaft 65 from the limit groove for easy opening.

[0060] Furthermore, the fixing rod 62 is provided with a cylindrical groove, and a limiting ball 68 is provided in the cylindrical groove. A spring 69 is provided at the bottom of the limiting ball 68. The top of the limiting ball 68 contacts the bottom of the rotating seat 64. The spring 69 is installed in the cylindrical groove, and the limiting ball 68 is located above the spring 69. The spring 69 provides an upward force to the limiting ball 68, lifting the rotating seat 64 so that the extension shaft 65 contacts the limiting groove. At the same time, it can also ensure that the rotating seat 64 will not rotate. The limiting ball 68 plays the role of lifting and limiting. By lifting the entire limiting seat, the extension shaft 65 is fixed in the limiting groove and will not move without applying external force to the handle 63.

[0061] This technical solution also allows for the construction of modular components and interlocking enclosures, facilitating product expansion and enabling modular and standardized design and manufacturing by the company.

[0062] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
