Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning module and a hot bending device. Background Technology

[0002] When hot bending glass workpieces in a hot bending device, the workpiece, which is softened at high temperature, needs to be placed on a graphite mold for shaping. After the workpiece hardens, it is removed and then another workpiece is placed on it for shaping. In order to improve the surface quality of the workpiece, the mold needs to be cleaned before the workpiece is placed on the mold for shaping to remove impurities from the mold surface.

[0003] However, the workpiece transfers a lot of heat to the mold during the shaping process, often causing the mold's temperature to reach hundreds of degrees Celsius. When cleaning the mold, workers often need to cool it down before wiping the surface, resulting in relatively low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning module of the first aspect of this application will be described in detail.

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 3 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning module includes a cleaning mechanism 100 and a driving mechanism 200. The cleaning mechanism 100 includes an isolation cover 120, an air blowing structure 110, and an air extraction structure (not shown in the figure). An air cavity 121 is formed inside the isolation cover 120. The air cavity 121 has a cavity opening 121a that communicates with the outside. The air blowing structure 110 includes an air blowing head 111 disposed in the air cavity 121. The air blowing head 111 can blow airflow toward the cavity opening 121a to disperse impurities on the surface of the mold 10 facing the cavity opening 121a into the air cavity 121. The air extraction structure has an air extraction port that communicates with the air cavity 121. The air extraction structure can extract the gas containing impurities in the air cavity 121 through the air extraction port. The driving mechanism 200 is drivenly connected to the cleaning mechanism 100 and is used to drive the cavity opening 121a of the cleaning mechanism 100 to move along the surface of the mold 10.

[0025] Furthermore, when the cleaning module of this application cleans the mold 10, under the drive of the drive structure, the cavity 121a of the cleaning mechanism 100 can move along the surface of the mold 10. During this process, the air blowing head 111 of the air blowing structure 110 blows airflow into the cavity 121a. This airflow can pick up impurities on the surface of the mold 10 and cause these impurities to disperse in the air cavity 121. In this state, the air extraction structure can extract air from the air cavity 121 through the air extraction port to extract the gas containing impurities in the air cavity 121, thereby achieving the cleaning of the surface of the mold 10.

[0026] It is understood that when the cleaning module of this application cleans the mold 10, the impurities on the surface of the mold 10 are blown into the air chamber 121 by the air blowing structure 110, and the impurities in the air chamber 121 are extracted by the air extraction structure. Thus, the entire cleaning mechanism 100 does not need to contact the mold 10 itself. Therefore, even when the temperature of the mold 10 is high, the cleaning module of this application can still complete the cleaning of the mold 10 normally, making the cleaning module of this application have higher cleaning efficiency.

[0027] It is understandable that by placing the air blowing head 111 inside the air chamber 121 and providing an opening 121a connecting the air chamber 121 to the outside, the impurities blown up by the air blowing head 111 can be concentrated and dispersed within the air chamber 121. This reduces the random flying of impurities and allows them to be concentrated and dispersed within the air chamber 121, making it easier for the air extraction structure to extract the impurities from the air chamber 121.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The blowing structure 110 includes a plurality of blowing heads 111, which are spaced apart along a first horizontal direction.

[0029] It is understood that when the cleaning module of this application is working, the width direction of the mold 10 can be parallel to the first horizontal direction. At this time, the multiple air blowing heads 111 of the air blowing structure 110 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the mold 10. The driving mechanism 200 can drive the cleaning mechanism 100 to move along the length direction of the mold 10, so that the cleaning mechanism 100 can complete the cleaning of the surface of the mold 10 in one movement, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning module of this application.

[0030] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air blowing structure 110 also includes a mounting member 112 extending along a first horizontal direction. The mounting member 112 has an air passage 112a extending along the first horizontal direction. The air passage 112a is used to communicate with a gas supply device. Multiple air blowing heads 111 are mounted on the mounting member 112, and the air inlet of the air blowing head 111 is connected to the air passage 112a.

[0031] It is understandable that by setting up air passages 112a, and connecting each air passage 112a to the air inlet of each air blowing head 111, the gas supply device can simultaneously supply air to each air blowing head 111 by supplying air into the air passages 112a; at the same time, the setting of air passages 112a makes the intensity of the airflow blown out by each air blowing head 111 more uniform, thereby improving the uniformity of cleanliness of each area on the surface of the cleaned mold 10.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 The multiple air blowing heads 111 include multiple first air blowing heads 111A and multiple second air blowing heads 111B. The multiple first air blowing heads 111A together constitute a first air blowing head group, and the multiple second air blowing heads 111B together constitute a second air blowing head group. The first air blowing head group and the second air blowing head group are distributed along a second horizontal direction. The second horizontal direction is set at a certain angle from the first horizontal direction. The first air blowing heads 111A and the second air blowing heads 111B are alternately distributed along the first horizontal direction.

[0033] It should be noted that each air blowing head 111 has a certain installation space, and the cleaning area of ​​each air blowing head 111 on the mold 10 is fixed. If each air blowing head 111 is arranged in a straight line along the first horizontal direction, the cleaning areas of two adjacent air blowing heads 111 on the mold 10 cannot overlap, resulting in some areas on the mold 10 that cannot be cleaned.

[0034] It is understood that in the cleaning module of this application, since the first air blowing head 111A and the second air blowing head 111B are alternately distributed along the first horizontal direction, the first air blowing head group and the second air blowing head group are distributed along the second horizontal direction, the first air blowing head 111A in the first air blowing head group is spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, and the second air blowing head 111B in the second air blowing head group is spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, the area on the mold 10 located between the cleaning areas of two adjacent first air blowing heads 111A can be cleaned by the second air blowing head 111B between the two adjacent first air blowing heads 111A, and the area on the mold 10 located between the cleaning areas of two adjacent second air blowing heads 111B can be cleaned by the first air blowing head 111A between the two adjacent second air blowing heads 111B, so as to reduce the cleaning dead corners missed by the cleaning module of this application when cleaning the mold 10, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning module of this application on the mold 10.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air outlet of the air blower 111 is flat and extends along the first horizontal direction.

[0036] It is understood that when the cleaning module of this application is working, the width direction of the mold 10 can be parallel to the first horizontal direction. At this time, the multiple air blowing heads 111 of the air blowing structure 110 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the mold 10. The driving mechanism 200 can drive the cleaning mechanism 100 to move along the length direction of the mold 10 to clean the surface of the mold 10. By setting the air outlet of the air blowing head 111 to a flat shape that extends along the first horizontal direction, the airflow blown by the air blowing head 111 has a larger cleaning area in the first horizontal direction, thereby reducing the cleaning dead angle between the cleaning areas of two adjacent air blowing heads 111 and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning module of this application on the mold 10.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 The cavity wall of the air chamber 121 is provided with multiple mounting ports 121b, which are distributed at intervals along the first horizontal direction. The air extraction structure has multiple air extraction ports, which correspond one-to-one with the mounting ports 121b and are connected.

[0038] It should be noted that the opening 121a of the air chamber 121 faces downward, and the isolation cover 120 extends along the first horizontal direction as a whole.

[0039] It is understandable that when the air extraction structure is working, the impurities dispersed in the air chamber 121 can pass through the mounting port 121b and the air extraction port to leave the air chamber 121. By distributing multiple mounting ports 121b at intervals along the first horizontal direction, and by having multiple air extraction ports of the air extraction structure correspond one-to-one with and communicate with the mounting ports 121b, the impurities dispersed in each area of ​​the air chamber 121 can be uniformly extracted by the air extraction structure, thereby improving the efficiency of the air extraction structure in extracting impurities from the air chamber 121.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the isolation cover 120 is a trumpet shape with a gradually increasing cross-sectional size towards the cavity opening 121a.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the opening 121a of the air chamber 121 faces downward, and the cross-sectional area of ​​both the isolation cover 120 and the air chamber 121 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0042] It is understandable that by setting the isolation cover 120 in a trumpet shape, the impurities blown from the surface of the mold 10 by the air blowing structure 110 can more easily enter the air cavity 121, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning module of this application on the mold 10.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2The drive mechanism 200 includes a horizontal drive structure 210 and a vertical drive structure 220 connected to each other. The horizontal drive structure 210 is used to drive the cleaning mechanism 100 to move along a second horizontal direction, and the vertical drive structure 220 is used to drive the cleaning mechanism 100 to move along a vertical direction.

[0044] Understandably, under the drive of the vertical drive structure 220, the cleaning mechanism 100 can move up and down so that the cavity 121a of the cleaning mechanism 100 approaches or moves away from the surface of the mold 10; under the drive of the horizontal drive structure 210, the cleaning mechanism 100 can move along the second horizontal direction so that the cavity 121a of the cleaning mechanism 100 moves along the surface of the mold 10 so that the cleaning mechanism 100 can complete the cleaning of the surface of the mold 10.

[0045] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to... Figure 2 The horizontal drive structure 210 includes a driver 211, a slide rail 212, and a slide block 213. The slide rail 212 extends along a second horizontal direction, and multiple slide blocks 213 are slidably provided on the slide rail 212. The driver 211 is connected to the slide block 213 and is used to drive the slide block 213 to slide along the slide rail 212. Each slide block 213 is equipped with a vertical drive structure 220, and the output end of each vertical drive structure 220 is connected to a cleaning mechanism 100.

[0046] It should be noted that if the cleaning module only includes a single cleaning mechanism 100, then when facing a mold 10 with a large length, the horizontal drive structure 210 drives the cleaning mechanism 100 to move a longer distance along the second horizontal direction, which results in a longer cleaning time for the cleaning module to clean the mold 10.

[0047] It is understood that in the cleaning module of this application, by setting multiple cleaning mechanisms 100 and distributing multiple cleaning structures at intervals along the second horizontal direction, the driver 211 can simultaneously drive multiple cleaning mechanisms 100 to move along the second horizontal direction. Each cleaning mechanism 100 can independently clean a section of the mold 10 in the second horizontal direction, thereby enabling the driver 211 to drive a single cleaning structure to move a smaller distance in the second horizontal direction to complete the cleaning of the entire mold 10, thus improving the working efficiency of the cleaning module of this application.

[0048] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the vertical drive structure 220 is a cylinder, which is mounted on the slide 213, and the extension rod of the cylinder is connected to the cleaning mechanism 100.

[0049] The hot bending apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the cleaning module provided in the first aspect of the present invention; the hot bending apparatus also includes a mold 10 disposed on one side of the cleaning module, and the cleaning module is used to clean the surface of the mold 10.
