Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass transportation protection technology, specifically a protective corner for glass transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is a commonly used building and industrial material. During the transportation of glass, the corners and edges are prone to cracking due to stress concentration. Glass transport corner protectors are protective devices installed at the corners and edges of the glass to reduce the impact on the corners and edges during transportation.

[0003] Currently, foam corner protectors or hard plastic corner protectors are mainly used for protection on the market. Foam corner protectors cannot be reused and their cushioning performance decreases significantly after repeated use. Hard plastic corner protectors have insufficient toughness and are prone to breakage when subjected to large impacts. In addition, corner protectors generally have limited universality and are difficult to adapt to glass of different sizes and thicknesses, thus limiting their flexibility of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that foam corner protectors have diminishing cushioning performance and cannot be reused, while plastic corner protectors have poor toughness and average impact resistance. Furthermore, corner protectors have poor versatility and cannot be used flexibly according to the size and thickness of the glass.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention proposes a protective corner for glass transportation, comprising a glass body and four sets of corner protection structures arranged in a rectangle at the four corners of the glass body. Each corner protection structure includes a corner protection frame and a clamping assembly disposed on one side of the corner protection frame. The corner protection frame is a hollow triangular shell structure, and a fixing groove is formed inside to accommodate one corner of the glass body. The corner protection frame has through grooves on the shell wall panels corresponding to the two sides of the glass body.

[0006] Preferred technical solution 1: The clamping assembly includes a U-shaped support fixed to the outer wall of the corner protector by threads, and an adjusting screw that passes through and is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped support. The two ends of the adjusting screw are provided with two sets of threaded groups with opposite thread directions, and the two sets of threaded groups are threadedly connected to a pressure member.

[0007] Preferred technical solution 2: The bottom and side walls of the fixing groove inside the corner protector are fixedly bonded with cushioning and anti-slip pads, which are made of silicone or polyurethane foam.

[0008] Preferred technical solution 3: Anti-slip rubber strips are provided on the clamping surface of the pressing member.

[0009] Preferred technical solution four: The bottom of the corner protector frame of the two sets of corner protector structures at the bottom is also provided with a movable component. The movable component is detachably provided and includes a positioning sleeve provided at the bottom of the corner protector frame and a movable wheel detachably provided in the positioning column through the positioning column. The positioning column and the positioning sleeve are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. Corresponding through holes are opened on the side wall of the positioning sleeve and the side wall of the positioning column.

[0010] Preferred technical solution five: The middle part of the adjusting screw is also provided with a rotating rubber sleeve, and the outer surface of the rotating rubber sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] The protective corner for glass transportation proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above structure:

[0012] (1) By setting buffer anti-slip rubber pads in the fixing groove of the corner protector and combining them with anti-slip rubber strips on the clamping surface of the clamping parts, a multi-elastic buffer structure can be formed to effectively absorb the impact force during transportation and avoid the problem of easy decay of the buffer performance of traditional foam corner protectors. At the same time, the corner protector adopts a rigid shell structure, which significantly improves the impact toughness compared with plastic corner protectors. The overall structure is not easily damaged and can be reused, reducing protection costs.

[0013] (2) By means of adjusting screws with opposite threads at both ends in the clamping assembly, two sets of clamping parts can be driven to move towards or away from each other, thereby flexibly adjusting the clamping distance on both sides of the glass. This can adapt to glass corners of different thicknesses and sizes, solving the problem of poor universality and inflexible adjustment of traditional corner protectors, and greatly improving the applicability of the protective corners.

[0014] (3) The bottom corner protection structure has a detachable movable component design. The positioning sleeve and the positioning column are fixed by bolts, which can quickly realize the installation and removal of the moving wheels. This ensures the stable placement of the glass when it is stationary, and the moving wheels can assist in moving during transportation, reducing the labor intensity and risk of collision during manual handling. At the same time, the rotating rubber sleeve in the middle of the adjusting screw is easy to operate, further improving the convenience of using the protective corner. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a protective corner for glass transportation, including a glass body 1 and four sets of corner protection structures 2 arranged in a rectangle at the four corners of the glass body 1. The corner protection structure 2 includes a corner protection frame 3 and a clamping component 4 provided on one side of the corner protection frame 3. The corner protection frame 3 is a hollow triangular shell structure, and a fixing groove is formed inside to accommodate one corner of the glass body 1. The corner protection frame 3 has through grooves 5 on the shell wall panels corresponding to the two sides of the glass body 1, so that the pressing member 8 of the clamping component 4 can pass through the through groove 5, thereby applying a clamping force to the two sides of the glass body 1 located in the fixing groove.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly 4 includes a U-shaped support 6 fixed to the outer wall of the corner bracket 3 by threads, and an adjusting screw 7 that passes through and rotates on the U-shaped support 6. The two ends of the adjusting screw 7 are provided with two sets of threads with opposite directions. The two sets of threads are threadedly connected to the clamping members 8. When the adjusting screw 7 is rotated, since the threads at both ends rotate in opposite directions, the two clamping members 8 will move in a straight line towards or away from each other along the axis of the adjusting screw 7. When the two clamping members 8 move towards each other, their clamping surfaces press against the two sides of the glass body 1 located in the fixing groove. When the two clamping members 8 move away from each other, the clamping on the glass body 1 is released. The two sets of clamping members 8 assist in fixing and clamping the two sides of the glass body 1, which is flexibly applicable to glass protection of different sizes and thicknesses.

[0026] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the bottom and side walls of the fixing groove inside the corner protector 3 are fixedly bonded with cushioning and anti-slip pads 9. The cushioning and anti-slip pads 9 are made of silicone or polyurethane foam material, which effectively cushions and protects the glass corner protectors. Anti-slip strips 10 are provided on the clamping surface of the clamping member 8 to provide elastic cushioning when clamping, increase the friction with the glass surface, prevent damage to the glass surface, and ensure a stable clamping.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the corner protector frame 3 of the two sets of bottom corner protector structures 2 is also provided with a movable component. The movable component is detachably installed and includes a positioning sleeve 11 located at the bottom of the corner protector frame 3, and a movable wheel 13 detachably installed in the positioning post 12 via a positioning post 12. The positioning post 12 and the positioning sleeve 11 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. Corresponding through holes are opened on the side wall of the positioning sleeve 11 and the side wall of the positioning post 12. When the positioning post 12 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 11 to the required height, the bolts are passed through sequentially... The positioning sleeve 11 has a fixed hole, and the positioning post 12 has a corresponding adjustment hole. Tightening the nut will fix the positioning post 12 inside the positioning sleeve 11, thereby installing the moving wheel 13 in place. When it is necessary to remove the moving wheel 13, loosen and remove the bolt and nut, and the positioning post 12 together with the moving wheel 13 can be pulled out from the positioning sleeve 11. Disassembly and installation are convenient and quick, so that the corner bracket 3 can be placed stably to protect the glass body 1, and at the same time assist in movement, reducing the labor intensity of handling and the impact caused by handling.

[0029] The adjusting screw 7 is also provided with a rotating rubber sleeve 14 in the middle. The outer surface of the rotating rubber sleeve 14 is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it easy for the operator to hold and apply rotational force to drive the adjusting screw 7 to rotate, so as to realize the clamping or loosening operation.

[0030] Usage steps

[0031] Corner protector installation preparation

[0032] Clean the four corner surfaces of the glass body 1 and the fixing grooves of the corner protection structure 2 to ensure there are no sand or impurities; align the triangular shell openings of the four sets of corner protectors 3 with the four corners of the glass body 1 so that the glass corners are embedded in the fixing grooves; confirm that the cushioning anti-slip pads 9 of the corner protectors 3 are in full contact with the glass surface.

[0033] Clamping component operation

[0034] Hold the rotating rubber sleeve 14 in the middle of the adjusting screw 7 and rotate the screw clockwise. Since the two ends of the adjusting screw 7 have opposite threads, it drives the two sets of clamping members 8 to move towards each other along the axis; the clamping members 8 pass through the through groove 5 of the corner protector 3, causing the anti-slip rubber strip 10 to press firmly against both sides of the glass; continue rotating until the required clamping force is reached, ensuring the glass does not wobble. Rotate the adjusting screw 7 counterclockwise, driving the clamping members 8 to move in opposite directions, releasing the clamp on the glass.

[0035] Loading, unloading and use of the caster assembly

[0036] Insert the positioning pin 12 into the positioning sleeve 11 of the bottom corner bracket 3; align the adjustment holes on the side walls of the positioning sleeve 11 and the positioning pin 12; pass the bolt through the corresponding hole and tighten the nut to fix it; check that the moving wheel 13 is in perpendicular contact with the ground. Remove the moving wheel: loosen the nut and remove the bolt, and pull the positioning pin 12 together with the moving wheel 13 out of the positioning sleeve 11.

[0037] Transportation mode: After installing the moving wheels, tilt the glass body 1 so that the moving wheels 13 of the two sets of corner protection structures 2 at the bottom contact the ground and push the glass to move.

[0038] Static protection mode: Remove the casters and place the bottom of the corner protector 3 directly on the ground or shelf.

[0039] Thickness Adaptive Adjustment

[0040] For glass of different thicknesses, rotating the adjusting screw 7 can steplessly adjust the distance between the two sets of pressing parts 8, ensuring that the anti-slip strip 10 always fits tightly against the side of the glass.
