Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass coating, and in particular to a coating line support module. Background Technology

[0002] Multiple drive rollers are arrayed along the front-to-back direction on the left and right sides of the vacuum coating chamber, with a magnetron sputtering assembly installed between them on the lower side. The glass is moved within the coating chamber by the rotation of the drive rollers, with the magnetron sputtering assembly facing upwards to coat the bottom surface of the glass. Because the glass size is smaller than the distance between the left and right drive rollers, a support bracket is needed to place it onto the drive rollers for movement. The support bracket is larger than the distance between the left and right drive rollers, with a central accommodating space. The glass mold, along with the glass, is placed into the accommodating space of the support bracket, and then the left and right sides of the support bracket are placed onto the drive rollers on the left and right sides of the coating chamber. The rotation of the drive rollers drives the support bracket and the glass to move. Due to the large size of the support bracket, it needs to be stored to save space when not in use. Currently, multiple support brackets are stacked together, and adjacent brackets are prone to horizontal displacement, causing them to scatter. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a coating line support module in which multiple support modules are stacked together, and the horizontal displacement and scattering of two adjacent support modules are not easily caused.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a coating line support module, including a support frame for supporting the glass to be coated. The support frame has a receiving position for accommodating the glass to be coated. The upper part of the receiving position is open to allow the glass to be coated to be placed from top to bottom. The lower part of the receiving position is open to allow the magnetron sputtering component in the coating chamber to coat the bottom surface of the glass to be coated facing upwards. The support frame is provided with a support positioning part to horizontally position the glass to be coated in the receiving position. The support frame is also provided with a stacking positioning part. This support module is stacked on the support frame of the same support module, and is positioned horizontally on the support positioning part of the support frame of the same support module by means of its own stacking positioning part.

[0005] Furthermore, the support frame has a first support edge and a second support edge, which are located on opposite sides of the receiving position and are used to support opposite sides of the glass to be coated. The first support edge can move closer to and away from the second support edge and / or the second support edge can move closer to and away from the first support edge.

[0006] Furthermore, the support frame has a first stacked top edge and a first stacked bottom edge, and a movable first supporting edge is located between the first stacked top edge and the second supporting edge. When the support module is stacked on the support frame of the same support module, the first stacked bottom edge of the support frame of the support module is stacked on the first stacked top edge of the support frame of the same support module; and / or the support frame has a second stacked top edge and a second stacked bottom edge, and the second supporting edge is located between the second stacked top edge and the first supporting edge. When the support module is stacked on the support frame of the same support module, the second stacked bottom edge of the support frame of the support module is stacked on the second stacked top edge of the support frame of the same support module.

[0007] Furthermore, the movable first support edge is detachable, and after detachment, the first stack top edge and the second support edge are located on opposite sides of the receiving position, respectively used to support opposite sides of the glass to be coated; or the movable second support edge is detachable, and after detachment, the second stack top edge and the first support edge are located on opposite sides of the receiving position, respectively used to support opposite sides of the glass to be coated; or both the movable first support edge and the movable second support edge are detachable, and after both are detached, the first stack top edge and the second stack top edge are located on opposite sides of the receiving position, respectively used to support opposite sides of the glass to be coated.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting and positioning part is provided on the top edge of the first stack, and the stacking positioning part is provided on the bottom edge of the first stack; and / or the supporting and positioning part is provided on the top edge of the second stack, and the stacking positioning part is provided on the bottom edge of the second stack.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a first track, and the first supporting edge moves along the first track; and / or the support frame is provided with a second track, and the second supporting edge moves along the second track.

[0010] Furthermore, the first movable support edge is provided with the support positioning part, and / or the second movable support edge is provided with the support positioning part.

[0011] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided to lock and fix the first supporting edge, and / or a locking mechanism is provided to lock and fix the second supporting edge.

[0012] Furthermore, it includes a glass mold for loading the glass to be coated, the glass mold having a support and positioning part, the glass mold together with the glass to be coated loaded thereon being placed in the receiving position, and the glass mold being positioned on the support and positioning part of the support frame by means of its own support and positioning part to achieve horizontal positioning.

[0013] Furthermore, the supporting positioning part is a positioning pin, and both the supported positioning part and the stacking positioning part are positioning holes.

[0014] Beneficial effects: When multiple load-bearing modules of this utility model are stacked together, the stacking positioning part of one load-bearing module is positioned on the supporting positioning part of the other load-bearing module to achieve horizontal positioning, so that the two load-bearing modules are less likely to shift and fall apart horizontally.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] Coating line carrier module such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 has a receiving position 4, and the top and bottom of the front and rear sides of the support frame 1 protrude towards the receiving position 4 to form flanges 5. The supporting module includes a glass mold 2 for supporting the glass to be coated. The glass mold 2 is placed face down in the receiving position 4 of the support frame 1, with its front side 61 supported on the top flange 51 on the front side of the support frame 1, and its rear side 62 supported on the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1. Thus, the top flange 51 on the front side of the support frame 1 serves as the first supporting edge supporting the front side 61 of the glass mold 2, while the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1 serves as the second supporting edge supporting the rear side 62 of the glass mold 2. The glass to be coated (not shown in the attached figure) is installed onto the glass mold 2, and then the support frame 1 is placed in the coating chamber. Multiple horizontally arranged drive rollers are arrayed on the left and right sides of the coating chamber along the front-back direction. The support frame 1 is placed on the drive rollers, and together with the glass mold 2 and the glass to be coated, it is driven by the rotation of the drive rollers to move horizontally forward. The magnetron sputtering component in the coating chamber then faces upward to coat the bottom surface of the glass to be coated.

[0020] See Figure 2and Figure 3 To accommodate glass of different sizes to be coated and glass molds 2, the support frame 1 is equipped with an adjustment frame 31 and a track 13. The adjustment frame 31 can move back and forth along the track 13 for adjustment. Specifically, a first track 131 is opened on the top of the left and right sides of the front of the support frame 1, and a second track 132 is opened on the top of the left and right sides of the rear. A locking mechanism 33 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the adjustment frame 31 (the locking mechanism 33 is prior art, referring to the quick release device of a bicycle seat post, which specifically includes a screw, with a nut installed at the lower end of the screw and an eccentric handle 331 installed at the upper end, and locking can be achieved by turning the eccentric handle 331). The left and right ends of the adjusting frame 31 are inserted into the left and right first tracks 131 via the locking mechanism 33, respectively, and are placed horizontally between the top flange 51 on the front side and the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1. The adjusting frame 31 moves back and forth along the left and right first tracks 131 to adjust the front and rear dimensions of the receiving position 4 to fit the actual size of the glass mold 2. The glass mold 2 is placed face down in the receiving position 4, with its front side 61 supported by the adjusting frame 31 and its rear side 62 supported by the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1. Thus, the adjusting frame 31 acts as the first supporting edge, and the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1 acts as the second supporting edge, supporting the front and rear sides of the glass mold 2 respectively. The locking mechanism 33 is operated to lock and fix the first supporting edge 31, preventing it from moving along the left and right first tracks 131.

[0021] Positioning pins 11 extend upward from the middle of the top flange 51 on the front side of the support frame 1, the middle of the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1, and the middle of the adjusting frame 31. U-shaped positioning holes 21 with openings facing the positioning pins 11 are provided on the front and rear sides 61 and 62 of the glass mold 2. The front side 61 of the glass mold 2 is supported on the top flange 51 on the front side of the support frame 1, and the rear side 62 is supported on the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1. Then, the two positioning pins 11 on the top flanges 51 and 52 of the support frame 1 are respectively inserted into the two U-shaped positioning holes 21 of the glass mold 2. The front side 61 of the glass mold 2 is supported on the adjusting frame 31, and the rear side 62 is supported on the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1. Then, the positioning pins 11 on the adjusting frame 31 are inserted into the U-shaped positioning holes 21 on the front side 61 of the glass mold 2, and the positioning pins 11 on the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1 are inserted into the U-shaped positioning holes 21 on the rear side 62 of the glass mold 2. In other words, when the glass mold 2 is supported on the support frame 1, the positioning pin 11 serves as the supporting positioning part, and the U-shaped positioning hole 21 serves as the supported positioning part. The glass mold 2 is positioned on the positioning pin 11 of the support frame 1 by means of its own U-shaped positioning hole 21 to achieve horizontal positioning, and will not be horizontally displaced relative to the support frame 1.

[0022] When multiple identical support modules are not in use, they should be stacked vertically: the uppermost support module is stacked downwards on top of the lowermost support module, with its bottom flange 53 on the front side of its support frame 1 stacked on the top flange 51 on the front side of the support frame 1 of the lowermost support module, and its bottom flange 54 on the rear side of its support frame 1 stacked on the top flange 52 on the rear side of the support frame 1 of the lowermost support module. The top flanges 51 and 52 on the front and rear sides of the support frame 1 serve as the first and second stack top edges, respectively, and the bottom flanges 53 and 54 on the front and rear sides of the support frame 1 serve as the first and second stack bottom edges, respectively. The first stack bottom edge 53 of the uppermost support module is stacked on the first stack top edge 51 of the lowermost support module, and the second stack bottom edge 54 of the uppermost support module is stacked on the second stack top edge 52 of the lowermost support module, thus the uppermost support module is stacked on top of the lowermost support module. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support frame 1 has circular positioning holes 12 in the middle of the bottom flange 53 on the front side and the bottom flange 54 on the rear side. The upper support module is stacked on the lower support module. The positioning pin 11 of the top flange 51 on the front side of the lower support module support frame is inserted into the circular positioning hole 12 of the bottom flange 53 on the front side of the upper support module support frame 1. The positioning pin 11 of the top flange 52 on the rear side of the lower support module support frame 1 is inserted into the circular positioning hole 12 of the bottom flange 54 on the rear side of the upper support module support frame 1. That is to say, when the upper support module is stacked on the lower support module, the circular positioning hole 12 serves as a stacking positioning part. The upper support module is positioned on the positioning pin 11 of the support frame 1 of the lower support module by its own circular positioning hole 12 to achieve horizontal positioning. The two support modules are less likely to shift and fall apart horizontally.

[0023] An adjusting bracket 31 is already placed in the left and right first tracks 131 as the first supporting edge. An adjusting bracket (symmetrical to the adjusting bracket 31 in the left and right second tracks 131, not described in detail) can also be placed in the left and right second tracks 131 as the second supporting edge. Together with the adjusting bracket 31 serving as the first supporting edge, they support the glass mold 2 housed in the receiving position 4. Alternatively, the adjusting bracket 31 can be placed in the left and right second tracks 132 instead of the left and right first tracks 131. In this case, the top flange 51 on the front side of the supporting bracket 1 serves as the first supporting edge, and the adjusting bracket in the left and right second tracks 132 serves as the second supporting edge, together supporting the glass mold 2 housed in the receiving position 4.

[0024] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
