Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass product storage and drying equipment, specifically to a high-temperature resistant, ventilated, and anti-tipping glass drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Glass plates are commonly used in laboratory operations, industrial processing, and teaching practices as experimental instruments and craft materials. During use, glass plates often require cleaning, drying, and temporary storage. Traditional glass plate racks typically consist of several side-by-side partitions, providing only basic support. The lack of surrounding barriers makes it easy for the glass plates to tip over or even break during handling or movement, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, some racks lack ventilation or drainage, hindering rapid drying of the glass plates and making it inconvenient to transport the entire rack to the cleaning area or drying equipment, resulting in low efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, designing a glass drying rack that is structurally stable, has anti-tipping function, good ventilation, and is easy to transport and dry has become a practical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a high-temperature resistant, ventilated, and anti-tipping glass drying rack, effectively solving problems such as easy tipping, easy breakage, and poor ventilation and drainage during glass drying operations.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: A high-temperature resistant, ventilated, and anti-tipping glass drying rack includes a base plate, multiple support plates, a guardrail, handles, and through holes. The support plates are spaced apart along the length of the base plate and vertically fixed to the base plate for vertically inserting glass sheets. The guardrail is provided on at least three sides of the base plate to prevent the glass sheets from tipping over. The guardrail has multiple through holes to enhance ventilation and drainage. The handles are installed at both ends of the guardrail for easy overall transport.

[0006] Preferably, the support sheet is an arc-shaped or plate-shaped structure, and a spacing groove is formed between the support sheets to accommodate and separate the glass sheets.

[0007] Preferably, the enclosure and the base plate are integrally formed or fixedly connected by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit.

[0008] Preferably, both the base plate and the support plate are made of high-temperature resistant materials, suitable for heat drying in an oven.

[0009] Preferably, the through holes are evenly distributed on all four sides of the enclosure, and the through holes are square, circular or strip-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, the handle can be an integral molded structure or can be detachably installed on the enclosure by means of plug-in or screw connection.

[0011] This utility model has a novel structure, ingenious design, and is simple and convenient to operate. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This device uses multiple vertical support plates spaced apart on the base plate to ensure that the glass plates can be stably inserted between the support plates, preventing tipping and breakage due to sliding or tilting. Combined with the large-area support structure at the bottom and the edge enclosure design, it effectively improves the overall anti-disturbance capability, keeping the glass plates stably arranged during drying, moving or transporting, and reducing safety risks during operation.

[0012] 2. The enclosure of this device has evenly distributed through holes around its perimeter, providing excellent ventilation and drainage. This effectively promotes rapid drying of the glass plates after rinsing and reduces moisture retention. Simultaneously, the through-hole design not only achieves natural ventilation but also reduces the overall weight of the drying rack, improving ease of use and heat resistance. It is suitable for regular room temperature drying or high-temperature drying in an oven.

[0013] 3. This device features handles at both ends of the enclosure, allowing operators to move it as a whole without having to handle each glass panel individually. This makes it particularly suitable for centralized processing of large batches of glass panels. The handles, used in conjunction with the integrated enclosure, enhance stability during transport, making it suitable for various non-medical applications such as laboratories, teaching and training facilities, or glass processing, significantly improving operational efficiency and practicality.

[0015] In the attached diagram: 1-base plate, 2-support plate, 3-enclosure, 4-handle, 5-through hole. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a high-temperature resistant, ventilated, and anti-tipping glass drying rack. Its overall structure consists of a base plate 1, support plates 2, enclosures 3, handles 4, and through holes 5. The structure is compact and rationally laid out, suitable for cleaning, drying, and temporary storage of glass sheets in laboratories, teaching facilities, or glass processing workshops. Its core function lies in achieving stable placement of the glass sheets and preventing tipping and breakage through the rationally designed support plates and edge protection. The through-hole structure also provides good ventilation and drainage, while ensuring convenient handling of the entire rack.

[0018] Specifically, the base plate 1 is an integral load-bearing platform with a rectangular or near-square planar structure. It is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, such as high-strength plastics, aluminum alloys, or stainless steel plates, to meet the requirement that the glass plates can be directly placed into the oven for high-temperature drying after rinsing. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is the main part for installing the support plates 2 and the enclosure 3. Its dimensions are flexibly designed according to the standard specifications of the glass plates, such as accommodating the spacing and width distribution of more than 30 glass plates.

[0019] The support plates 2 are multiple vertically spaced plates arranged along the length of the base plate 1. Each support plate 2 is vertically fixed to the base plate 1 and can be installed using methods such as slot positioning, welding, screwing, or integral injection molding, facilitating mass production and assembly. A slot or gap is formed between adjacent support plates 2 for inserting a glass plate. This gap is set according to the thickness of the glass plate, typically 2–4 mm, ensuring stable insertion of the glass plate while preventing excessive friction or shaking. The upper end of the support plate 2 may be slightly curved or rounded to prevent hand scratches and improve guidance when inserting the glass plate.

[0020] The enclosure 3 is installed on three sides of the base plate 1, namely the left and right sides and the rear edge, and is installed on the edge of the base plate 1 using an integral molding or detachable structure. The main function of the enclosure 3 is to form a closed side wall area to prevent the glass panel from tilting or sliding out laterally during operation, movement, or minor collisions, effectively improving the safety of the operation process. The height of the enclosure 3 is usually slightly higher than the upper edge of the glass panel after it is inserted, further enhancing the protective effect. To improve ventilation and drainage capacity, multiple through holes 5 are evenly distributed on the wall of the enclosure 3. These through holes 5 can be square, round, elliptical, or strip-shaped openings with a diameter between 5 and 15 mm, which helps hot air circulation and moisture evaporation, and also promotes the drainage of water droplets at the bottom after cleaning, speeding up the drying process and preventing mold and water stains.

[0021] Handles 4 are located at the top of both ends of the enclosure 3, and can be integrally injection molded or installed by riveting or screwing. The size and shape of the handles 4 are ergonomically designed, making it easy to lift the drying rack with both hands for moving or transporting the whole rack. This eliminates the need to pick up and put down individual glass panels, significantly improving operational efficiency, and making it particularly suitable for batch washing, centralized drying, or cross-area transport operations. Combined with the limiting and protective structure of the enclosure 3, the glass panels are less likely to shake or slip during the overall transport process, reducing the risk of damage.

[0022] Overall, this ventilated, anti-tipping glass drying rack features a reasonable structural design with tightly integrated components, facilitating standardized production and daily operation. The base plate 1, support plate 2, and enclosure 3 work together to form a stable and reliable glass plate insertion structure. Through-holes 5 ensure good ventilation and drainage. Handles 4 facilitate the transport of the entire rack. This simplifies the operation process while effectively solving the technical problems of traditional glass drying racks, such as easy tipping, poor drainage, and difficulty in centralized transport. It possesses significant practicality and promotional value.

[0023] In this embodiment, the support plate 2 can be designed as an arc-shaped structure or a plate-shaped structure according to usage requirements. Both are arranged perpendicular to the base plate 1 and are spaced equally to form multiple slots for inserting glass sheets. The curvature of the arc-shaped support plate can be appropriately reduced to form a natural limit, making it less likely for the glass sheet to tip over after insertion. The plate-shaped support plate is easier to process, has good rigidity, and is suitable for one-piece injection molding or mechanical fixing. The upper end of the support plate is usually chamfered or rounded to prevent the glass from hitting the edge during insertion and to facilitate manual guidance during insertion. The spacing of the support plates can be customized according to the standard thickness of the glass sheet. For example, a 2mm thick glass plate can use a 4mm spacing, with each slot accommodating one glass sheet without wobbling, avoiding the risk of breakage. The height of the support plate 2 is usually slightly higher than half of the glass plate to ensure stable and reliable insertion, preventing lateral slippage or tilting.

[0024] The enclosure 3 and the base plate 1 can be structurally connected in several ways. The preferred solution is integral molding, where the enclosure 3 and base plate 1 are manufactured as a single piece through injection molding or die casting. This avoids assembly tolerance issues, provides high overall strength, and is particularly suitable for mass production and high-frequency use. Where integral molding is not possible, snap-fit ​​or screw-fit structures can be used for connection. For example, a groove can be pre-drilled on the edge of the base plate, and corresponding inserts can be provided on the enclosure. These inserts are then securely inserted using snap-fit ​​or positioning structures, facilitating installation and disassembly while reducing transport volume. Alternatively, threaded holes can be provided, and screws can be used to lock the position between the enclosure and the base plate for a secure assembly. Regardless of the connection method used, the overall stability of the enclosure must be ensured to prevent loosening or shifting during handling or washing.

[0025] Regarding material selection, to enhance the adaptability of this invention to environments with high temperature, humidity, and washing, both the base plate 1 and the support plate 2 are made of materials that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and easy to clean. Preferred materials include heat-resistant plastics (such as polypropylene PP, polyetheretherketone PEEK), stainless steel plates (such as 304 or 316 type), or anodized aluminum plates. These materials can not only withstand the hot water rinsing or chemical cleaning solutions that may be present during washing, but also adapt to the hot air drying process in an oven (such as 70~120℃), ensuring that the glass plate is not contaminated, does not deform, and dries stably during the drying process. In particular, when the entire structure is made of metal, the service life and impact resistance of the drying rack can be further enhanced, making it suitable for frequent operation and repeated use scenarios.

[0026] The through holes 5 are evenly distributed on the four side walls of the enclosure 3, including the left, right, rear, and front enclosures (if any), to improve the ventilation and drainage performance of the entire drying rack. The through holes 5 can be square, circular, or strip-shaped, and their size and density can be designed according to actual usage requirements. Generally, the opening diameter or side length is controlled between 5mm and 15mm, which effectively promotes air circulation and accelerates the drying speed of the glass sheets without affecting the structural strength of the enclosure or causing the glass sheets to slip out. This through-hole structure also facilitates water flow through and drains during cleaning, preventing liquid from stagnating inside the drying rack and forming water stains, odors, or a corrosive environment, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect and service life. Furthermore, the through-hole design helps reduce the overall weight of the drying rack, making it easier for operators to move and transport it.

[0027] The handles 4 are located at both ends of the enclosure 3. They can be integrally molded structures with the enclosure 3, or they can be detachable, i.e., fixed to the upper part of the enclosure by plugging or screwing. For injection-molded structures, the handles 4 are directly connected as a whole, with high strength and durability, suitable for high-frequency use. For detachable designs, the handles 4 can be quickly assembled or disassembled according to transportation and storage needs, improving structural flexibility and facilitating packaging, transportation, and batch assembly. The handles are usually arc-shaped for gripping, with width and height designed according to adult hand sizes to ensure even force distribution and comfortable handling during transport. With this handle structure, operators can directly transport the glass plate to the rinsing area, drying rack, or storage location after inserting it into the drying rack, avoiding piece-by-piece handling, improving efficiency. During transport, the enclosure 3 provides limiting protection to prevent the glass plate from slipping or tilting, ensuring high safety and making it suitable for large-scale operation processes.

[0028] When using this device: ① The operator places the drying rack on the workbench or washing table, ensuring the base plate 1 is placed stably, the enclosure 3 is fully connected to the edge of the base plate 1 and securely fixed, and the slots between the support plates 2 are clean and free of foreign objects, ready to insert the glass plates; ② According to the specifications and quantity of the glass plates, vertically insert the glass plates into the slots between adjacent support plates 2 in sequence, ensuring that each glass plate is evenly distributed and securely inserted without tilting or shaking. After insertion, the height of the enclosure 3 can be observed to ensure that the glass plates do not exceed the top of the enclosure, preventing them from falling off during transportation; ③ If the glass plates need to be rinsed or dried as a whole, the entire drying rack along with the glass plates can be lifted directly using the handle 4 and moved to the washing tank or drying oven for operation. The enclosure 3 provides effective limiting protection during transportation, preventing the glass plates from tipping over or colliding. The through holes 5 on the enclosure 3 assist in drainage, ventilation, and heat dissipation during rinsing or heating, accelerating the drying speed and improving operational efficiency. After use, the drying rack along with the glass plates can be removed or returned to the storage area, completing the entire operation process.
