Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass insert technology, and more specifically, to a lateral insert device for ultra-thin flexible glass. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-thin glass (UTG) refers to flexible glass with a thickness of less than 100μm. Due to its high transparency, stability, and impact resistance, UTG is widely used in various electronic industries. Its bendability represents a significant milestone for the foldable display industry, making it a crucial player in the field of foldable flexible cover plates after CPI (colorless transparent polyimide film). Currently, the basic thickness of ultra-thin glass research is 30μm-100μm, and it possesses a certain degree of toughness and flexibility. Traditional insert methods (vertical inserts) and traditional surface strength tooling are used. During operation, the glass will collapse towards the side with greater stress due to its own weight and the inherent toughness of small-sized flexible glass. This can cause the glass to break when traditional tooling is used for inserting the glass, resulting in fragments of the small-sized ultra-thin glass product. In addition, the traditional tooling requires a harsh working environment (no wind) and is easily affected by environmental and human factors. Therefore, when performing strong-load operations on small-sized ultra-thin flexible glass, two people are required (one to insert the glass and the other to assist in holding the glass to prevent it from collapsing). Furthermore, traditional tooling is relatively complex, and the steps for installing fishing line with calipers are cumbersome, which is not conducive to the efficiency of adjusting the tooling.
[0003] The applicant discovered through a search that Chinese patent document application number 202210816281.2, published on October 11, 2022, discloses a glass insert cold bending device and its usage method. The glass insert cold bending device includes a cold bending trough, several partition plates, a cover plate, and a cold bending liquid conveying system. The cold bending trough has an inlet and an outlet. Several partition plates are spaced apart within the cold bending trough, perpendicular to the bottom surface of the trough, dividing the inner cavity of the trough into several unit slots. Several flow holes are provided on the partition plates. Cover plates are respectively installed on each unit slot, and the cover plates have hanging wires for suspending sample glass. The cold bending liquid conveying system includes two cold bending liquid conveying pipes, a cold bending liquid storage tank, and a power pump. The cold bending trough and the cold bending liquid storage tank form a circulation loop through the cold bending liquid conveying pipes, and the power pump is installed on the cold bending liquid conveying pipes. This device also fails to solve the aforementioned technical problem.
