Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of glass substrate crushing, and more specifically, to a glass substrate crushing and recycling tool. Background Technology

[0002] In optoelectronic display glass substrate production lines, such as those manufacturing LTPS / LCD substrate glass and OLED carrier glass using the overflow pull-down method, the formed glass ribbons, after being cut into semi-finished glass substrates, must be cooled and inspected for defects on a conveyor belt. They are then vertically suspended and transported to various workstations, and finally, robotic arms pick up the glass for stacking and packaging. During daily production, malfunctions in the conveyor equipment and the cooling process of the glass substrates can lead to breakage during conveying or packaging.

[0003] After glass shards break, cleaning staff need to remove large pieces of glass and then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the remaining fragments. In practice, cleaning staff can use a breaker to break large pieces of glass and then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the fragments (e.g., authorization notice number: CN 222918732 U, title: A breaker with dustproof and splash-proof function). However, the vacuum cleaner's dust collection pipe has a long, round, iron or aluminum dust collection head at the front. When using this head to collect the broken glass, since a breaker cannot guarantee that the glass substrate will be broken into tiny fragments, larger fragments often get stuck in the dust collection head, making operation very inconvenient and potentially causing injury from flying glass fragments. Cleaning large pieces of glass on the cleanroom floor is slow, and prolonged contact between personnel and conveyor belts poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a glass substrate crushing and recycling tool to solve the problem in the prior art that glass substrates cannot be effectively crushed into tiny fragments.

[0005] A glass substrate breakage and recycling tool according to this application includes: a protective cover, a connector, and a breaker. The protective cover has a first cover body, a second cover body, and a third cover body. The first cover body is located below and connected to the second cover body, and the third cover body is located above and connected to the second cover body. The third cover body has a through hole, through which the connector extends into the protective cover. The breaker is connected to the connector and is located inside the protective cover, with the breaker arranged circumferentially along the connector.

[0006] In some embodiments, the crushing component includes an mounting cylinder and a plurality of crushing strips. The mounting cylinder is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the connector, and the plurality of crushing strips are radially arranged around the mounting cylinder. Each crushing strip is provided with a plurality of first crushing teeth, which are arranged along the extension direction of the crushing strip.

[0007] In some embodiments, the crushing component includes an mounting cylinder and a crushing plate. The crushing plate is an annular plate. The mounting cylinder is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the connector. The crushing plate is fixed to the circumferential outer side of the mounting cylinder. The crushing plate has a plurality of second crushing teeth. The plurality of second crushing teeth form a plurality of crushing tooth circles with a spaced distance on the crushing plate, and the plurality of crushing tooth circles are concentrically arranged with the crushing plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool further includes an annular partition fixed to the circumferential outer side of the connector, and the annular partition is located at the junction of the first cover and the second cover, with the annular partition abutting against the inner wall of the first cover.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first cover is a straight cylindrical plate, the second cover is a curved plate, and the third cover is an annular plate. The diameter of the first cover is larger than the outer diameter of the third cover, and the two ends of the second cover are respectively connected to the first cover and the third cover.

[0010] In some embodiments, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool further includes a plurality of mating springs arranged circumferentially along the connector, located between the third cover and the annular partition, with both ends of the plurality of mating springs connected to the third cover and the annular partition, respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the ratio of the outer diameter of the third enclosure to the diameter of the first enclosure is between 1:2.5 and 1:1.7.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connector is a connecting tube, with the first end of the connecting tube passing through a through hole and extending into the protective cover, and the second end of the connecting tube being connected to an external vacuum cleaner via a flexible hose.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connector is a connecting post that passes through a through hole and engages with the breaker.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 1 relates to a glass substrate crushing and recycling tool, including: a protective cover 10, a connector 20, and a crushing component 30. The protective cover 10 has a first cover 11, a second cover 12, and a third cover 13. The first cover 11 is located below and connected to the second cover 12, and the third cover 13 is located above and connected to the second cover 12. The third cover 13 has a through hole, through which the connector 20 extends into the protective cover 10. The crushing component 30 is connected to the connector 20 and is located inside the protective cover 10, with the crushing component 30 arranged circumferentially along the connector 20.

[0024] The glass substrate crushing and recycling tool, applying the technical solution of Embodiment 1, includes a protective cover 10, a connector 20, and a crushing component 30. The protective cover 10 has a first cover 11, a second cover 12, and a third cover 13. The first cover 11 is located below and connected to the second cover 12, while the third cover 13 is located above and connected to the second cover 12. The protective cover 10 maintains a negative pressure environment and improves the sealing effect, preventing glass fragments from splashing during the crushing process. The third cover 13 has a through hole through which the connector 20 extends into the protective cover 10, and the connector 20 can move up and down within the through hole. The crushing component 30 is connected to the connector 20 and is located within the protective cover 10. The crushing component 30 can move synchronously with the movement of the connector 20. The crushing component 30 is arranged circumferentially along the connector 20, increasing the contact area with the glass substrate and achieving micro-crushing of the glass substrate. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem that glass substrates cannot be effectively broken into tiny fragments in the prior art.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the crushing component 30 includes an installation cylinder 31 and a plurality of crushing strips 32. The installation cylinder 31 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the connector 20. The installation cylinder 31 can move synchronously with the movement of the connector 20. The plurality of crushing strips 32 are radially arranged around the installation cylinder 31. This arrangement can make the crushing effect better the closer to the installation cylinder 31. The plurality of crushing strips 32 can move synchronously with the movement of the installation cylinder 31. Each crushing strip 32 is provided with a plurality of first crushing teeth 321. The plurality of first crushing teeth 321 are arranged along the extension direction of the crushing strip 32.

[0026] It should be noted that the mounting cylinder 31 and the connector 20 can be detachably connected by a threaded connection. In this case, the first crushing tooth 321 with a different layout can be replaced by replacing the mounting cylinder 31.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool also includes an annular partition 40. The annular partition 40 is fixed to the outer circumferential side of the connector 20. The annular partition 40 can move synchronously with the movement of the connector 20. The annular partition 40 is located at the junction of the first cover 11 and the second cover 12. The purpose of this arrangement is that the second cover 12 can limit the upward movement of the annular partition 40. The annular partition 40 abuts against the inner wall of the first cover 11, so that the first cover 11 can achieve good sealing after being placed on the ground, which is convenient for maintaining a good negative pressure environment.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first cover 11 is a straight cylindrical plate, the second cover 12 is a curved plate, and the third cover 13 is an annular plate. The diameter of the first cover 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the third cover 13. The two ends of the second cover 12 are connected to the first cover 11 and the third cover 13, respectively. The purpose of this arrangement is that the second cover 12 serves as a curved plate connecting the first cover 11 and the third cover 13, and the curvature of the second cover 12 can limit the upward movement of the annular partition 40.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool also includes multiple cooperating springs 50. These springs 50 are arranged circumferentially along the connector 20 and are located between the third cover 13 and the annular partition 40. Both ends of each spring 50 are connected to the third cover 13 and the annular partition 40, respectively. As the annular partition 40 moves downward, the cooperating springs 50 are stretched. The stretching amount of the cooperating springs 50 is set within a range that does not affect the first crushing tooth 321 and the glass crushing. When the first crushing tooth 321 contacts the glass and crushes it, the cooperating springs 50 are not stretched to their limit, and the space enclosed by the annular partition 40, the first cover 11, and the ground is further reduced. After crushing, the cooperating springs 50 reset, causing the annular partition 40 and the crushing strip 32 to move upward, preventing the first crushing tooth 321 from being exposed and causing accidental injury to workers.

[0030] In the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the ratio of the outer diameter of the third cover 13 to the diameter of the first cover 11 is between 1:2.5 and 1:1.7. If the ratio of the outer diameter of the third cover 13 to the diameter of the first cover 11 is too small, it will cause inconvenience in installing the mating spring 50, resulting in part of the mating spring 50 being fixed on the second cover 12. Since the second cover 12 is a curved surface, this will cause inconsistent elasticity among the multiple mating springs 50. If the ratio of the outer diameter of the third cover 13 to the diameter of the first cover 11 is too large, then the second cover 12 cannot effectively limit the annular partition 40.

[0031] It should be noted that the outer diameter of the annular partition 40 is equal to the diameter of the first cover 11, and the annular partition 40 and the first cover 11 abut against each other to maintain a good sealing effect.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool also includes a vacuum cleaner, a flexible hose, and a clamp. The connector 20 is a connecting pipe, with its first end extending through a through-hole into the protective cover 10. The second end of the connecting pipe is connected to the vacuum cleaner via the flexible hose. The connecting pipe and the flexible hose are connected by a clamp, and the connecting pipe is a metal pipe. Glass fragments inside the first cover 11 are crushed into fragments by the first crushing tooth 321 and then sucked into the vacuum cleaner through the connecting pipe. During the crushing process, the annular partition 40 moves downward, reducing the negative pressure space and further improving the adsorption effect.

[0033] It should be noted that the connector 20 can also be a connecting column. The connecting column passes through the through hole and cooperates with the breaking component. The connecting column only provides the breaking power, and the glass is broken only through the cooperation of the connecting column and the breaking component 30. After the glass is broken, the glass fragments are swept away or vacuumed away. At this time, the tool is more compact and does not require the connection of a vacuum cleaner, making the working environment more flexible.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the glass substrate crushing and recycling tool also includes an operating handle 60, which is fixedly connected to the connector 20. The operator can move the connector 20 downwards by holding the operating handle 60, ultimately breaking the glass.

[0035] The specific working process is as follows: the connecting part 20 is moved down by operating the handle 60. As the connecting part 20 moves down, the annular partition 40, the mounting cylinder 31 and multiple breaking strips 32 move down synchronously. At this time, the first breaking tooth 321 on the breaking strip 32 can break the glass into small pieces through impact. The annular partition 40, the first cover 11 and the ground form a negative pressure space. As the annular partition 40 moves down, the negative pressure effect is enhanced. The connecting pipe connects to the external vacuum cleaner to suck away the glass fragments.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the technical solution of Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the crushing component 30 includes an mounting cylinder 31 and a crushing plate 33. The crushing plate 33 is an annular plate. The mounting cylinder 31 is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the connecting component 20, and the crushing plate 33 is fixed to the outer circumferential side of the mounting cylinder 31, ultimately achieving synchronous movement with the connecting component 20. The crushing plate 33 has multiple second crushing teeth 331, which form multiple crushing tooth circles with a spacing on the crushing plate 33, and the multiple crushing tooth circles are concentrically arranged with the crushing plate 33. This arrangement can achieve a better crushing effect through multiple collision points between the second crushing teeth 331 and the glass. At the same time, the distribution of the second crushing teeth 331 is more dense and the size is smaller closer to the mounting cylinder 31, resulting in a better crushing effect.
