[0002] With the continuous development of CCD vision inspection systems, optical glass has become a fundamental and important component of the optoelectronic technology industry, and a key element in optical instruments. It is an inorganic glassy material that transmits light through refraction, reflection, and transmission, or alters the intensity or spectral distribution of light through absorption. It possesses stable optical properties and high optical homogeneity.

[0003] While existing optical glass turntables and metal structural components can fit tightly together, they are prone to breakage during actual logistics transportation due to road bumps and external vibrations. Replacing the optical glass turntable consumes considerable time and effort for on-site personnel, and broken glass debris can cause secondary injuries. To address these issues, it is essential to design a protective device for transporting optical glass turntables. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a protective device for transporting optical glass turntables, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the optical glass turntable is directly connected to the metal structure, which is a simple connection method but easily causes damage to the optical glass turntable.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a protective device for transporting an optical glass turntable includes a metal support plate, a nylon connecting plate on one side of the metal support plate, a connecting mechanism between the nylon connecting plate and the metal support plate, and the nylon connecting plate is mounted on the metal support plate through the connecting mechanism.

[0006] The connecting mechanism includes multiple negative pressure grooves, which are formed on a metal support plate.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the protective device for transporting optical glass turntables provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A protective device for transporting an optical glass turntable includes a metal support plate 1, a nylon connecting plate 2 on one side of the metal support plate 1, and a connecting mechanism between the nylon connecting plate 2 and the metal support plate 1. The nylon connecting plate 2 is mounted on the metal support plate 1 through the connecting mechanism.

[0019] During assembly, the nylon connecting plate 2 and the metal support plate 1 are first connected and fixed. The metal support plate 1 provides rigid support, while the nylon connecting plate 2 provides cushioning. Then, using the bottom of the metal support plate 1 as a reference, the surface of the nylon connecting plate 2 is milled to obtain consistent dimensional parameters. Finally, the optical glass plate 1 is mounted onto the nylon connecting plate 2. This ensures rotational accuracy, provides stable support, increases the overall flexibility of the mechanism, and prevents damage.

[0020] The connecting mechanism includes multiple negative pressure grooves 3, which are formed on a metal support plate 1. A first channel 5 is formed within the metal support plate 1, and multiple second channels 6 arranged in a circular array are formed inside the first channel 5. The other end of each second channel 6 communicates with a negative pressure groove 3. A suction assembly is provided on the metal support plate 1 to suction air from the first channel 5. A valve assembly is provided inside the first channel 5 to control the opening and closing of the ports of the second channels 6. The multiple negative pressure grooves 3 are arranged in a circular array on the metal support plate 1. Each negative pressure groove 3 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 4.

[0021] The suction assembly includes a support 7, which is fixedly installed on the back of a metal support plate 1. A suction pump 8 is fixedly installed on the support 7, and the air inlet pipe of the suction pump 8 is connected to the first channel 5. The valve assembly includes a sealing plug 9, which is slidably installed in the first channel 5 and can block the port of the second channel 6. A guide rod 10 passes through the sealing plug 9, with one end of the guide rod 10 fixedly connected to the first channel 5. A first spring 11 is sleeved on the guide rod 10, and both ends of the first spring 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first channel 5 and the sealing plug 9, respectively. A limiting piece 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the guide rod 10. Multiple grooves 13 arranged in a circular array are opened on the inner side of the first channel 5. A limiting rod 14 is slidably installed in the groove 13, with one end of the limiting rod 14 inserted into the sealing plug 9. An electromagnet 15 is fixedly installed in the groove 13, and the limiting rod 14 is a magnet. A second spring 16 is fixedly connected between the electromagnet 15 and the limiting rod 14.

[0022] In this embodiment, the negative pressure grooves are set and sealed: multiple negative pressure grooves 3 are formed in a circumferential array on the metal support plate 1, and sealing gaskets 4 are fixedly connected inside the negative pressure grooves 3. When the nylon connecting plate 2 is attached to the metal support plate 1, the sealing gaskets 4 can enhance the sealing of the contact surface between the two, prevent air leakage, and create conditions for the subsequent formation of a negative pressure environment.

[0023] Operation of the suction assembly: The support 7 of the suction assembly is fixedly installed on the back side of the metal support plate 1. The suction pump 8 is installed on the support 7, and the air inlet pipe of the suction pump 8 is connected to the first channel 5 inside the metal support plate 1. After the suction pump 8 is started, it will draw air from the first channel 5, creating a negative pressure environment in the first channel 5.

[0024] Negative pressure transmission: Because multiple second channels 6 arranged in a circular array are opened inside the first channel 5, and the other end of the second channel 6 is connected to the negative pressure groove 3, under the action of the suction pump 8, the negative pressure in the first channel 5 will be transmitted to the negative pressure groove 3 through the second channel 6. At this time, the air pressure in the negative pressure groove 3 area between the nylon connecting plate 2 and the metal support plate 1 decreases, and the external atmospheric pressure will press the nylon connecting plate 2 tightly onto the metal support plate 1, thereby achieving a stable connection between the two.

[0025] Normal connection state: During the operation of the suction pump 8 to generate negative pressure, the sealing plug 9 of the valve assembly is in a specific position within the first channel 5. At this time, the sealing plug 9 does not block the port of the second channel 6, and the negative pressure can be smoothly transmitted through the second channel 6 to the negative pressure groove 3, ensuring the adsorption connection between the nylon connecting plate 2 and the metal support plate 1. The first spring 11 is in a certain state of tension or compression, providing a certain restoring force for the sealing plug 9. The guide rod 10 acts as a guide, ensuring that the sealing plug 9 slides in a straight line, and the limiting piece 12 prevents the sealing plug 9 from slipping off the guide rod 10.

[0026] Disconnection Control: When it is necessary to disconnect the nylon connecting disc 2 from the metal support disc 1, the electromagnet 15 is energized and generates magnetism. Since the limiting rod 14 is a magnet, it is attracted by the electromagnet 15, overcoming the elastic force of the second spring 16 and sliding towards the electromagnet 15. The limiting rod 14 slides within the groove 13 and inserts into the sealing plug 9, restricting the sliding of the sealing plug 9. Then, the control valve assembly causes the sealing plug 9 to slide and block the port of the second channel 6, cutting off the connection between the negative pressure groove 3 and the first channel 5. At this time, the air pressure in the negative pressure groove 3 gradually returns to the same as the external atmospheric pressure, and the pressure of the external atmospheric pressure on the nylon connecting disc 2 disappears, allowing the nylon connecting disc 2 to be easily removed from the metal support disc 1.

[0027] Reconnection Preparation: After removing the nylon connecting plate 2, to reconnect, simply place the nylon connecting plate 2 back onto the metal support plate 1 and ensure it fits tightly. Then, de-energize the electromagnet 15. Under the elastic force of the second spring 16, the limiting rod 14 will slide out from the sealing plug 9, releasing the restriction on the sealing plug 9. Restart the suction pump 8, and following the negative pressure adsorption connection principle described above, a stable connection between the nylon connecting plate 2 and the metal support plate 1 can be re-established.

[0028] In this embodiment, by setting a negative pressure groove and sealing gasket on the metal support plate, and using a suction pump to create negative pressure in the first channel, and then transferring the negative pressure to the negative pressure groove, the air pressure in the space between the nylon connecting plate and the metal support plate is reduced. The external atmospheric pressure then presses the nylon connecting plate tightly onto the metal support plate, forming a stable adsorption connection. This connection method provides a large adsorption force, ensuring a reliable connection between the nylon connecting plate and the metal support plate under various working conditions, reducing the risk of loosening and detachment, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0029] The valve assembly design makes disconnection simple and flexible. When it is necessary to disconnect the nylon connecting disc from the metal support disc, simply energize the electromagnet to attract the limit rod, restricting the sliding of the sealing plug. Then, control the valve assembly to seal the second channel port with the sealing plug, cutting off the connection between the negative pressure groove and the first channel. The air pressure in the negative pressure groove will then be restored, allowing the nylon connecting disc to be easily removed. This design avoids the difficulties of disassembly associated with traditional connection methods, improves work efficiency, and facilitates equipment maintenance and component replacement.
