Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ITO glass sheet immersion washing device, specifically an ITO glass sheet ultrasonic immersion washing device. Background Technology

[0002] ITO glass, scientifically known as Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) transparent conductive film glass, is formed by depositing a layer of tin oxide film onto a sodium-calcium-based or boron-based substrate glass using magnetron sputtering. ITO glass requires extremely high surface cleanliness; dust particles and minute surface residues are not permitted. Specifically, any adhering matter larger than 0.1 mm, or any irremovable contaminants, particles, inclusions, discoloration spots, etc., are not allowed on the surface of the ITO glass sheet.

[0003] ITO glass is typically cleaned using ultrasonic immersion cleaning devices. The core component of these devices is a series of ultrasonic modules that drive the cleaning fluid to generate high-frequency vibrations, ultimately creating a cavitation effect that removes stains from the surface of the ITO glass.

[0004] Because common ITO glass is fixed and suspended in the immersion tank by clamps during immersion, and the ITO glass is in continuous contact with the high-frequency vibrating cleaning fluid during the immersion process, the periodic stress concentration caused by the vibration may generate microcracks inside the film layer, which gradually expand over time and eventually lead to film layer failure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic immersion cleaning device for ITO glass sheets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0045] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0046] Please see Figures 1-7 As an embodiment of the present invention, the ITO glass sheet ultrasonic immersion cleaning device includes a housing 1; an immersion tank 2 and a fixing plate 4 are installed on the housing 1; and multiple ultrasonic modules 3 are installed at the bottom of the immersion tank 2.

[0047] It also includes multiple sets of support plates 10, which are respectively disposed at the corners of the fixed plate 4; the support plates 10 are equipped with lower clamping plates 1001;

[0048] The upper clamping plate 18 is slidably disposed on the support plate 10;

[0049] It also includes a lifting assembly, which is mounted on the fixed plate 4 and includes a sliding plate 14 connected to the upper clamping plate 18;

[0050] The slide plate 14 can intermittently move up and down to drive the support plate 10 to move synchronously, and can also drive the upper clamping plate 18 away from or closer to the lower clamping plate 1001.

[0051] In this embodiment, the immersion tank 2 is filled with cleaning fluid, and the ultrasonic module 3 can drive the cleaning fluid to generate high-frequency vibration, which ultimately forms a cavitation effect, thereby removing stains from the ITO glass sheet.

[0052] Place the four corners of the ITO glass sheet on the lower clamping plate 1001; at this time, the ITO glass sheet is located between the lower clamping plate 1001 and the upper clamping plate 18.

[0053] The lifting component moves, causing the slide plate 14 to move up and down intermittently to move closer to or away from the fixed plate 4. This causes the support plate 10 to move in and out of the immersion tank 2 intermittently. As the support plate 10 moves into the immersion tank 2, the upper clamping plate 18 gradually moves closer to the lower clamping plate 1001 to clamp the ITO glass sheet, thus preventing resonance of the ITO glass sheet during ultrasonic immersion and protecting the coating.

[0054] The lifting assembly drives the ITO glass sheet to intermittently reciprocate into the immersion tank 2 for intermittent ultrasonic immersion, thereby removing stains. This avoids excessive contact between the ITO glass sheet and the high-frequency vibration immersion solution, which could lead to over-immersion and damage to the coating.

[0055] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of first sleeves 7 are installed on the fixing plate 4; a first telescopic column 9, which is fixedly connected to the support plate 10, is slidably installed inside the first sleeve 7; a first spring 8 is wrapped around the first telescopic column 9; and the two ends of the first spring 8 respectively abut against the first sleeve 7 and the first telescopic column 9.

[0056] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a third telescopic column 15 is installed on the slide plate 14; a third sleeve 17, which is fixedly connected to the upper clamping plate 18, is slidably installed on the third telescopic column 15; a third spring 16 is provided inside the third sleeve 17; the two ends of the third spring 16 respectively abut against the third sleeve 17 and the third telescopic column 15.

[0057] In this embodiment, during the descent of the slide plate 14, the third telescopic column 15 will slide synchronously, thereby first driving the third sleeve 17 and the upper clamping plate 18 to move towards the lower clamping plate 1001 synchronously through the third spring 16; after the upper clamping plate 18 contacts the ITO glass sheet, the third telescopic column 15 will slide inward in the third sleeve 17, thereby compressing the third spring 16.

[0058] When the third spring 16 is compressed to a certain amount, the slide plate 14 will drive the lower clamping plate 1001 to move synchronously, thereby driving the ITO glass sheet to extend into the immersion tank 2; during this process, the first telescopic column 9 will slide outward in the first sleeve 7, thereby compressing the first spring 8.

[0059] Once the ITO glass sheet is fully immersed in the immersion tank 2, the ITO glass sheet is clamped by the elastic force of the third spring 16 and the first spring 8, and the elastic force of the first spring 8 and the third spring 16 counteracts the vibration transmitted by the cleaning solution, thereby preventing damage to the coating during cleaning.

[0060] During the upward movement of the slide plate 14, the slide plate 14 will drive the third telescopic column 15 to reset, thereby driving the third spring 16 to reset. During this process, the elastic force of the first spring 8 will drive the first telescopic column 9 to slide inward within the first sleeve 7, thereby completing the reset. This will drive the lower clamping plate 1001 away from the immersion tank 2 via the support plate 10, thereby driving the ITO glass sheet to separate from the cleaning liquid. During this process, the upper clamping plate 18 will move away from the lower clamping plate 1001, thereby releasing the ITO glass sheet to facilitate unloading after cleaning.

[0061] The lifting assembly drives the ITO glass sheet to intermittently reciprocate into the immersion tank 2 for intermittent ultrasonic immersion, thereby removing stains. This avoids excessive contact between the ITO glass sheet and the high-frequency vibration immersion solution, which could lead to over-immersion and damage to the coating.

[0062] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lifting assembly also includes a motor 5 mounted on the fixed plate 4; a rotating sleeve 6 is mounted on the output end of the motor 5; a protruding column 601 is mounted on the rotating sleeve 6; a lifting column 13 that is sleeved with the rotating sleeve 6 is mounted on the sliding plate 14; and a groove group is formed on the lifting column 13 that slides and engages with the protruding column 601.

[0063] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the groove group includes a first flat groove 1301, a first inclined groove 1302, a second flat groove 1303, and a second inclined groove 1304; one end of the first flat groove 1301 is connected to one end of the first inclined groove 1302; the other end of the first inclined groove 1302 is connected to one end of the second flat groove 1303; the other end of the second flat groove 1303 is connected to the other end of the second inclined groove 1304; and the other end of the second inclined groove 1304 is connected to the other end of the first flat groove 1301.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the motor 5 starts, the rotating sleeve 6 will rotate, thereby driving the protruding post 601 to rotate synchronously, so as to slide and cooperate with the groove assembly.

[0065] When the protruding column 601 slides in the second flat groove 1303, the lifting column 13 remains in a fixed position, and the slide plate 14 remains in a fixed position, maintaining a separated state from the immersion tank 2.

[0066] When the protruding post 601 slides in the second inclined groove 1304, the groove wall of the second inclined groove 1304 will squeeze the protruding post 601, thereby driving the lifting post 13 to slide outward in the rotating sleeve 6, thereby driving the slide plate 14 to move into the immersion tank 2, thereby driving the upper clamping plate 18 to approach the lower clamping plate 1001 to clamp the ITO glass sheet, and at the same time driving the ITO glass sheet to extend into the immersion tank 2, so as to facilitate the ultrasonic module 3 to clean the ITO glass sheet.

[0067] When the protruding post 601 slides in the first flat groove 1301, the lifting post 13 remains in a fixed position, the slide plate 14 remains in a fixed position, and the ITO glass sheet remains immersed.

[0068] When the protruding post 601 slides in the first inclined groove 1302, the groove wall of the first inclined groove 1302 will squeeze the protruding post 601, thereby causing the lifting post 13 to slide inward in the rotating sleeve 6, thereby causing the slide plate 14 to move away from the immersion tank 2, so as to move the upper clamping plate 18 away from the lower clamping plate 1001, so as to release the ITO glass sheet, and at the same time, to separate the ITO glass sheet from the immersion tank 2 to avoid over-immersion.

[0069] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the support plate 10 is in the shape of a right angle; a second sleeve 1002 is installed on both sides of the support plate 10; a plurality of abutment plates 12 are provided on the support plate 10; a second telescopic post 1201 that slides and engages with the second sleeve 1002 is installed on the abutment plate 12; a second spring 11 is provided inside the second sleeve 1002; the two ends of the second spring 11 abut against the second telescopic post 1201 and the second sleeve 1002 respectively.

[0070] As a further embodiment of this invention, the contact plate 12 is inclined on one side.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the ITO glass sheet is placed, the four corners of the ITO glass sheet contact the inclined surfaces of the contact plate 12. As the upper clamping plate 18 approaches the lower clamping plate 1001, the upper clamping plate 18 will contact the ITO glass sheet, and then drive the ITO glass sheet to approach the lower clamping plate 1001. During this process, the ITO glass sheet will slide on the surface due to the squeezing action of the inclined surfaces, thereby squeezing the contact plate 12, which will drive the second telescopic column 1201 to slide inward in the second sleeve 1002 to compress the second spring 11. The elastic force of the second spring 11 causes the contact plate 12 to clamp the side of the ITO glass sheet, which can effectively prevent the glass from undergoing high-frequency displacement during ultrasonic immersion, thus protecting the coating.

[0072] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
