Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of getter activation technology, and in particular to a vertical activation device for a strip-shaped getter for vacuum glass. Background Technology

[0002] To maintain the vacuum level of the vacuum chamber in vacuum glass over a long period, a getter is placed inside the chamber during manufacturing to absorb any remaining gas and any subsequently released gases. The getter needs to be activated after being placed in the vacuum chamber to function properly. This activation is typically achieved by heating the getter with a heater.

[0003] The getter commonly used in existing vacuum glass is in the form of a disc. The activation device usually involves installing a heat source on an activation platform. The vacuum glass is placed on the activation platform and the position of the getter is aligned with the heat source. After heating for a period of time, the getter can be activated by heating.

[0004] The aforementioned activation device is designed for disc-shaped getters. Disc-shaped getters have a small area, requiring a small heating area from the heater; the heating range of a single heater is sufficient to cover the disc-shaped getter. Therefore, activating the disc-shaped getter can be achieved by aligning the heater with the disc-shaped getter and heating it to the activation temperature for a sufficient time. However, for strip-shaped getters (also known as "strip getters"), due to their longer length, there is currently no heater with a heating area sufficient to cover the entire strip-shaped getter; therefore, there are no activation devices for strip-shaped getters currently on the market. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art—that current getter activation devices cannot activate strip-shaped getters—this invention aims to provide a vertical activation device for strip-shaped getters used in vacuum glass. This device aligns the relative movement direction between the vacuum glass and the heater with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter within the vacuum glass, and uses a heater to heat the getter, thereby activating it. Furthermore, the vertical activation device has advantages such as a small footprint and convenient site layout.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A vertical activation device for a strip-shaped getter for vacuum glass is disclosed. The strip-shaped getter is disposed inside the vacuum glass. The device includes a conveying mechanism, a holding mechanism, and at least one heater. The holding mechanism includes a vertically inclined plate. The vacuum glass is located on the conveying mechanism and abuts against the plate. The conveying mechanism is used to carry and convey the vacuum glass. The heater and the vacuum glass are capable of relative movement along the length of the strip-shaped getter. During the relative movement between the heater and the vacuum glass, the heating head of the heater is able to align with and heat the strip-shaped getter.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the conveying mechanism is capable of conveying vacuum glass along the length of the strip-shaped getter.

[0009] The present invention is further configured to include a moving mechanism, which is connected to the heater and is used to drive the heater to move along the length direction of the strip getter.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the holding mechanism also includes a support wheel, which is rotatably mounted on the upright plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured to include a side rotation mechanism located on the side of the vacuum glass away from the upright plate. The side rotation mechanism includes a side rotation component and a support component for supporting the side rotation component. The axis of the side rotation component is parallel to the vacuum glass and the side rotation component abuts against the vacuum glass.

[0012] The present invention is further configured to include a temperature sensor, which is used to detect the temperature of the strip-shaped getter.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature measuring point of the temperature sensor is located on the strip getter near the heating head and behind the heater in the direction of movement of the vacuum glass.

[0014] The present invention is further configured to include a controller and an alarm, wherein the controller controls the alarm to sound an alarm based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor.

[0015] The present invention is further configured to include a side-pressing mechanism located on the side of the vacuum glass away from the upright plate. The side-pressing mechanism includes a side-pressing member and a side-pressing drive. The side-pressing drive is used to drive the side-pressing member to press against or move away from the vacuum glass in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the vacuum glass. The length direction of the side-pressing member is consistent with the length direction of the strip getter.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) By setting a conveying mechanism to make the vacuum glass pass or repeatedly pass through the heater in a fixed position in the length direction of the strip getter, or by setting a moving mechanism to make the heater pass or repeatedly pass through the vacuum glass in a fixed position in the length direction of the strip getter, the relative movement direction between the vacuum glass and the heater is consistent with the length direction of the strip getter in the vacuum glass, thereby realizing the activation of the strip getter.

[0018] (2) By using a holding mechanism to keep the vacuum glass in a vertically tilted state, the floor area of ​​the vacuum glass is reduced, thereby reducing the floor area of ​​the activation device, which facilitates site layout. Multiple activation devices can be arranged in the same area to improve production efficiency.

[0019] (3) The side rotation mechanism or side pressure mechanism located on the side of the vacuum glass away from the vertical plate can provide side pressure to the vacuum glass, so that the distance between the strip getter and the heating head remains stable during the getter activation process;

[0020] (4) The temperature sensor is located at the highest temperature position on the getter, so as to more accurately monitor the temperature of the strip getter and enable the controller to control the heating power, heating time and alarm working status according to the accurate temperature measured, so as to improve the automation and intelligence level of the device and improve production efficiency.

[0030] It should be noted that the embodiments and features involved in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] As attached Figure 1-2 As shown, a vertical activation device for a strip-shaped getter for vacuum glass includes a conveying mechanism 1, a holding mechanism 2, at least one heater 3, and a side-rotating mechanism 4. Existing vacuum glass 5 has a strip-shaped getter (not shown) disposed within its vacuum cavity. The getter is typically located near the edge of the vacuum cavity, and its length direction is aligned with the length direction of the edge of the vacuum glass 5.

[0033] The conveying mechanism 1 is positioned near the bottom of the holding mechanism 2 and is used to carry and convey the vacuum glass 5. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the vacuum glass 5 along the length direction of the strip getter, that is, the length direction of the strip getter is consistent with the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5. Furthermore, the vacuum glass 5 can move continuously along the conveying direction, or it can move back and forth along the conveying direction within the length range of the strip getter.

[0034] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a synchronous belt, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a support beam. The support beam is arranged along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively located at both ends of the support beam along its length. The synchronous belt is wound around the driving wheel, the support beam, and the driven wheel. The driving wheel is connected to a driving member, and under the drive of the driving member, the driving wheel rotates around its own axis and drives the synchronous belt to rotate. In other embodiments, the conveying mechanism 1 includes multiple rollers, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5. One axial end of each roller is connected to a driving member via a power connector (e.g., a synchronous belt or chain), and the driving member drives the multiple rollers to rotate together via the power connector.

[0035] The holding mechanism 2 is used to maintain the vertical tilt of the vacuum glass 5. The holding mechanism 2 includes a vertical plate 201, a roller 202, a frame 203, and a base 204.

[0036] The base 204 is horizontally positioned, and the base 204 and the frame 203 are used to support and fix the upright plate 201. The vacuum glass 5 rests against the upright plate 201 and is parallel to the plane of the upright plate 201.

[0037] The upright plate 201 is set in a vertically inclined state, that is, the upright plate 201 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the vertical direction, so that the vacuum glass 5 always maintains a vertically inclined state during the transportation process, ensuring the stability of transportation.

[0038] The upright plate 201 has multiple rows of holes, and each hole is fitted with a freely rotating support wheel 202. During the transport of the vacuum glass 5, the support wheel 202 can provide support for the vacuum glass 5 and reduce the friction between the vacuum glass 5 and the upright plate 201.

[0039] At least one heater 3 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 1 and below the holding mechanism 2. The heater 3 heats the getter through a heating head 301, the centerline of which is perpendicular to the vacuum glass 5. It should be noted that the heater 3 being disposed above the conveying mechanism 1 means that the centerline of the heater 3 is vertically higher than the synchronous belt or rollers of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are three heaters 3, arranged along the length of the strip getter (in this embodiment, that is, along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5). In other embodiments, one heater 3, two heaters 3, or any number of heaters 3 may be provided. The heater 3 may be a non-contact, high-efficiency heater such as a high-frequency induction heater, an ultra-high-frequency induction heater, a microwave heater, or a laser heater.

[0041] Specifically, the upright plate 201 can be a single, integral plate or composed of multiple mutually perpendicular and intersecting beams. When the upright plate 201 is a single, integral plate, its lower part is provided with an elongated hole extending along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5, and the heating head 301 of the heater 3 is aligned with the elongated hole to allow energy from the heater 3 to pass through. When the upright plate 201 is composed of multiple mutually perpendicular and intersecting beams, the holes for mounting the rollers 202 are located on the crossbeams whose length direction is aligned with the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5, and the heating head 301 of the heater 3 is offset vertically from the crossbeams to allow energy from the heater 3 to pass through.

[0042] The side rotation mechanism 4 is located on the side of the vacuum glass 5 away from the vertical plate 201. It is used to provide lateral pressure to the vacuum glass 5 to ensure the flatness of the vacuum glass 5 along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5 during the getter activation process, thereby ensuring that the distance between the strip getter and the heating head 301 in its length direction remains stable. The side rotation mechanism 4 includes a side rotation component 43, a support frame 41, and a slide 42.

[0043] In this embodiment, the side rotating member 43 can rotate freely around its own axis. In other embodiments, a driving member can be provided to drive the side rotating member 43 to rotate around its own axis.

[0044] The support frame 41 provides support for the slide 42, and the side rotating component 43 is fixedly installed in the slide 42 by bolts or other connecting parts. The axis of the side rotating component 43 is parallel to the vacuum glass 5, and the edge of the side rotating component 43 abuts against the vacuum glass 5. The length direction of the slide 42 is perpendicular to the plane where the upright plate 201 is located. By adjusting the position of the side rotating component 43 in the slide 42, the distance between the side rotating component 43 and the guide wheel 202 can be changed, thereby accommodating vacuum glass 5 of different thicknesses.

[0045] The side-rotating component 43 can abut against the lower part of the vacuum glass 5 to ensure the flatness of the vacuum glass 5 in the conveying direction, thereby further ensuring that the distance between the strip getter and the heating head 301 remains consistent in its length direction. In this embodiment, the height position of the side-rotating component 43 corresponds to the lowermost row of rollers 202 in the holding mechanism 2, so that both sides of the vacuum glass 5 are supported, ensuring the stability of the vacuum glass 5 during the conveying process.

[0046] Preferably, the bottom of the side rotating part 43 is higher than the center line of the heating head 301 to avoid interfering with the heating of the strip getter by the heater 3.

[0047] To improve the stability of the vacuum glass 5, the side rotation mechanism 4 includes multiple side rotation components 43, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the vacuum glass 5 on the side of the vacuum glass 5 away from the vertical plate 201.

[0048] In other embodiments, the side-rotating member 43 can be connected to an elastic side-pressing mechanism, which presses the side-rotating member 43 against the surface of the vacuum glass 5 facing away from the upright plate 201. The elastic side-pressing mechanism may include a spring connected to the side-rotating member 43. The elastic side-pressing mechanism also ensures that the side-rotating member 43 is always pressed against the vacuum glass 5 and can automatically adapt to vacuum glass 5 of different thicknesses.

[0049] The vertical activation device also includes a temperature sensor 6 for detecting the temperature of the strip getter.

[0050] It should be noted that during the heating of the strip-shaped getter by heater 3, due to factors such as heat conduction and heating efficiency, the position directly opposite the centerline of the heating head 301 is not the position with the highest temperature on the strip-shaped getter. The position with the highest temperature is located on the strip-shaped getter near the heating head 301 and behind the heater 3 relative to the direction of movement of the vacuum glass 5; that is, the position with the highest temperature is located on the strip-shaped getter near the heating head 301 and is located at a position that has already been heated.

[0051] With attachment Figure 3 Taking the position shown as an example, the positions of heater 3 and temperature sensor 6 are fixed. When the vacuum glass 5 is conveyed to the right along direction f in the figure until the heating head 301 is aligned with a certain part of the strip getter, the heating head 301 heats that part of the strip getter at the position directly opposite its center line. At this time, the position with the highest temperature on the strip getter is not the position directly opposite the center line of the heating head 301, but rather the position adjacent to it. Figure 3 The temperature measuring point is located to the right of the intersection of the center line of the heating head 301 and the strip of getter. The heater 3 remains stationary, and the vacuum glass 5 is conveyed to the right along direction f in the diagram. This is equivalent to the heater 3 being conveyed to the left in the opposite direction to direction f relative to the vacuum glass 5. The temperature measuring point is located to the right of the intersection of the center line of the heating head 301 and the strip of getter. That is, the temperature measuring point is located on the strip of getter, close to the heating head 301 and behind the heater 3 relative to the direction of movement of the vacuum glass 5. The temperature sensor 6's measuring point is set at this position, thus enabling more accurate monitoring of the strip of getter temperature. Specifically, the temperature measuring point of the temperature sensor 6 refers to the position where the center line of the temperature sensor 6 intersects with the upper surface of the vacuum glass 5.

[0052] Similarly, in another embodiment, when the vacuum glass 5 and the temperature sensor 6 are fixed, the heater 3 is conveyed to the right along the g1 direction. At this time, the temperature measuring point of the temperature sensor 6 is to the left of the intersection of the center line of the heating head 301 and the strip getter.

[0053] In another implementation, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the temperature sensor 6 is positioned directly opposite the heating head 301, but its centerline is tilted to the right relative to the vertical direction. The heater 3 remains stationary, while the vacuum glass 5 moves to the right along direction f in the figure. The temperature sensor 6's measuring point is located to the right of the position directly opposite the centerline of the heating head 301.

[0054] In another embodiment, the temperature sensor 6 can automatically adjust its position based on the direction of movement of the heater 3 relative to the vacuum glass 5. (See attached image) Figure 3 Taking the position shown as an example, when the vacuum glass 5 moves to the right along direction f in the figure, the temperature measuring point of the temperature sensor 6 is located to the right of the position directly opposite the center line of the heating head 301; when the heater 3 moves to the left in the opposite direction of direction f in the figure, the temperature measuring point of the temperature sensor 6 is located to the left of the position directly opposite the center line of the heating head 301. This automatic adjustment can be achieved by moving or rotating the temperature sensor 6, and the specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The vertical activation device also includes a controller and an alarm. Temperature sensor 6 is electrically connected to the controller. Temperature sensor 6 transmits the temperature information of the strip getter to the controller. The controller can control the heating power of heater 3 based on the temperature information from temperature sensor 6, or control the heating time by controlling the conveying speed of vacuum glass 5, the moving speed of heater 3, the number of reciprocating conveying cycles of vacuum glass 5, and the number of reciprocating cycles of heater 3. The alarm is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller can activate the alarm based on the temperature information from temperature sensor 9. For example, if the temperature measured by temperature sensor 6 fails to reach the activation temperature of the getter within a set time or remains higher than the activation temperature of the getter, the controller will activate the alarm. The set time can be set according to actual needs, for example, from 3 seconds to 300 seconds.

[0056] The implementation principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0057] Vacuum glass 5 rests against upright plate 201 via rollers 202. Conveying mechanism 1 transports vacuum glass 5 along the length of the strip-shaped getter, while side rotating member 43 presses against vacuum glass 5 on the other side. Heater 3 remains stationary, and relative movement occurs between vacuum glass 5 and heater 3 along the length of the getter during transport. The strip-shaped getter in vacuum glass 5 sequentially passes through the heating area covered by each heater 3. Each heater 3 heats the strip-shaped getter to its activation temperature and maintains this temperature for a period of time as vacuum glass 5 passes. If the effective heating time of a single heater 3 is greater than or equal to the activation time of the getter, only one heater 3 is needed to activate the entire strip of getter. If the effective heating time of a single heater 3 is insufficient to reach the activation time, multiple heaters 3 can be used, ensuring that the effective heating time of a single heater 3 multiplied by the number of heaters is greater than or equal to the required activation time for the entire strip of getter. In this invention, the combined action of three heaters 3 allows the strip-shaped getter to reach the required activation time, thus achieving activation.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] As attached Figure 5-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a vertical activation device for a strip-shaped getter for vacuum glass. Unlike Embodiment 1, it also includes a moving mechanism 7, and a side-pressing mechanism 8 replaces the side-rotating mechanism 4 on the side of the vacuum glass 5 facing away from the vertical plate 201. (See attached diagram) Figure 6 The dashed line in the middle represents vacuum glass 5.

[0060] The moving mechanism 7 is connected to all heaters 3 and is used to drive all heaters 3 to move along the length of the strip getter, i.e., attached Figure 6 In the g direction.

[0061] The moving mechanism 7 includes a linear guide rail and a drive motor. The length direction of the linear guide rail is consistent with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter. The heater 3 is fixedly connected to the linear guide rail and moves along the linear guide rail under the drive of the drive motor. In other embodiments, the moving mechanism 7 can be a lead screw moving structure, a linear cylinder moving structure, a linear motor moving structure, a gear and rack moving structure, or other moving structures.

[0062] The side-pressure mechanism 8 includes a side-pressure component 801 and a side-pressure drive 802. The side-pressure component 801 and the side-pressure drive 802 are connected. The side-pressure drive 802 can drive the side-pressure component 801 to approach and press against the vacuum glass 5 or move away from the vacuum glass 5 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the vacuum glass 5. The side-pressure drive 802 can be a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the specific driving method will not be described in detail here.

[0063] The side pressure member 801 is positioned near the lower part of the upright plate 201, and its bottom surface is higher than the center line of the heating head 301. In this embodiment, the position of the side pressure member 801 corresponds to the position of the two rows of rollers 202 at the lower part of the holding mechanism 2, so that both sides of the vacuum glass 5 are supported, ensuring that the vacuum glass 5 is pressed tightly and protecting it from damage during the pressing process. The side pressure member 801 can be a long strip plate, with its length direction along the attached plate. Figure 6 The g-direction of the side pressure member 801 is aligned with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter. The surface of the side pressure member 801 near the guide roller 202 can be made of rubber, polyurethane, silicone, nylon, or other soft composite materials. Soft composite materials have high wear resistance and can prevent scratching the glass surface. In other embodiments, the side pressure member 801 can be multiple side pressure heads arranged along the g-direction, meaning the length direction of the side pressure member 801 composed of multiple side pressure heads is aligned with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter. The side pressure heads can also be made of soft composite materials.

[0064] In this embodiment, during the process of heating and activating the getter, the position of the vacuum glass 5 remains fixed, while the heater 3 moves unidirectionally or reciprocally along the g direction.

[0065] The implementation principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0066] The conveying mechanism 1 transports the vacuum glass 5 along the g direction, and stops transporting it once the vacuum glass 5 is in place. The side-pressure drive 802 drives the side-pressure component 801 to press against the vacuum glass 5, pressing it tightly to ensure the flatness of the vacuum glass 5 in the g direction. This further ensures that the distance between the strip-shaped getter and the heater 3 remains consistent along its length, guaranteeing the heating effect. The moving mechanism 7 moves the heater 3 along the g direction to heat and activate the strip-shaped getter. After the strip-shaped getter inside the vacuum glass 5 is activated, the side-pressure drive 802 moves the side-pressure component 801 away from the vacuum glass 5, and the conveying mechanism 1 transports the vacuum glass 5 to the next station.

[0067] In another embodiment, the length direction of the strip-shaped getter may be perpendicular to the attached... Figure 6In the g-direction, i.e., the length direction of the strip-shaped getter, it is parallel to the plane of the vertical plate 201 and vertically positioned. At this time, it is only necessary for the heater 3 to also move in the length direction of the strip-shaped getter, and for the length direction of the side pressure member 801 to be consistent with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter. After the vacuum glass 5 is conveyed to the position, the conveying stops, and the side pressure drive 802 drives the side pressure member 801 to press against the vacuum glass 5 and press the vacuum glass 5 tightly, ensuring the flatness of the vacuum glass 5 in the direction perpendicular to g, thereby further ensuring that the distance between the strip-shaped getter and the heater 3 in its length direction is consistent, ensuring the heating effect. The moving mechanism 7 drives the heater 3 to move up and down in the direction perpendicular to g to heat and activate the strip-shaped getter. After the strip-shaped getter in the vacuum glass 5 is activated, the side pressure drive 802 drives the side pressure member 801 away from the vacuum glass 5, and the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the vacuum glass 5 to the next station.

[0068] Those skilled in the art will understand from the technical solution of this utility model that, in actual production, the length of the strip-shaped getter is not necessarily a strict straight line, and its positional distribution along its length is not necessarily strictly parallel to the edges of the vacuum glass. However, the heating area of ​​the heating head is not a single point but a range that can cover the width of the strip-shaped getter, thus achieving effective heating. Therefore, the description of the length direction of the strip-shaped getter in this application includes both the actual situations of the getter itself and its positional distribution. Similarly, the fact that the length direction of the side pressure member is consistent with the length direction of the strip-shaped getter does not mean that they need to be strictly identical; it is sufficient that the side pressure member can ensure the flatness of the vacuum glass along the length direction of the strip-shaped getter.

[0069] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include such modifications and modifications.

The length direction of the side-pressing member (801) is consistent with the length direction of the strip getter.
