[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides an automated dust collection box for the post-polishing stage of a light guide plate, including a dust collection box 1. The dust collection box 1 has a rectangular structure, with a dust suction port on the upper left side. A flange is welded to the outside of the dust suction port, and the dust suction port is detachably connected to a bellows 3 through the flange. The length of the bellows 3 can be adjusted according to the installation distance between the polishing machine and the dust collection box 1. The end of the bellows 3 is provided with a tapered dustproof connector 4. The small-diameter end of the dustproof connector 4 has an internal thread design, which directly engages with the external thread of the dust outlet of the polishing machine, and the large-diameter end of the rear end has an external thread design, which engages with the quick connector at the end of the bellows 3.

[0022] The dustbin 1 has a collection bucket 8 at its bottom, which is fitted to the internal dimensions of the dustbin 1. Four casters 10 are bolted to the bottom corners of the collection bucket 8 and have braking functions, facilitating the pulling out, moving, and positioning of the collection bucket 8. The front of the dustbin 1 is open, with a sealed door 2 hinged to it. A rubber sealing gasket is affixed to the inside of the sealed door 2, continuously distributed along the edge of the door to ensure a tight seal with the edge of the open dustbin 1 when closed. The sealed door 2 is equipped with a push-button lock; pressing it extends the latch and engages with the corresponding lock hole in the dustbin 1. Pressing it again unlocks the door, allowing the collection bucket 8 to be pulled out for cleaning via the casters 10.

[0023] A coarse filter 9 is detachably installed above the collection bin 8 inside the dust collection box 1 to intercept large dust particles. The installation height of the coarse filter 9 is higher than the dust inlet, ensuring that dust entering from the dust inlet is first filtered by the coarse filter 9, preventing large particles from directly impacting the subsequent fine filter components. When it is necessary to clean or replace the coarse filter 9, it can be quickly removed by the latches after opening the sealed box door 2, making maintenance convenient.

[0024] A blower 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the dust collection box 1. An air intake is provided on the upper left side of the dust collection box 1. The air intake of the blower 5 is fixedly connected to the air intake via an air pipe 6. The two ends of the air pipe 6 are bolted to the air intake flange of the blower 5 and the air intake flange, respectively. A double-gate automatic discharge valve 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the air pipe 6.

[0025] A fine filter 14 is detachably installed on the inside of the air intake, which can effectively filter fine dust. A brush 13 is provided on one side of the fine filter 14. The length of the brush handle of the brush 13 is adapted to the fine filter 14, and the bristles are made of nylon.

[0026] A drive motor 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper right side of the dust collection box 1 via a bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12 via a coupling. One end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the output shaft coupling of the drive motor 11, and the other end extends through into the dust collection box 1 and is fixedly connected to the brush handle of the brush 13 via a key. A sealed bearing is installed on the side wall of the dust collection box 1 at the point where the rotating shaft 12 passes through to prevent dust from leaking out from the point where the rotating shaft 12 passes through. After the drive motor 11 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate at a constant speed, which in turn drives the brush 13 to rotate synchronously. The brush 13 gently brushes the surface of the fine filter screen 14, sweeping off the dust adhering to the surface of the filter material. The swept-off dust passes through the coarse filter screen 9 and falls into the collection bin 8.

[0027] A control box 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of the right side wall of the dust collection box 1. The control box 15 has a touch screen and an emergency stop button on its surface. The control box 15 houses a PLC controller, a solenoid reversing valve, a power module, and other components. The blower 5, the solenoid reversing valve of the double-gate automatic discharge valve 7, and the drive motor 11 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller in the control box 15 via wires. The touch screen can be used to set parameters such as the negative pressure value of the blower 5, the interval and opening time of the double-gate discharge valve, and the cleaning interval of the drive motor 11. It also displays the real-time operating status of the equipment, the negative pressure value inside the dust collection box 1, and the material level status of the collection bucket 8. The emergency stop button is connected in series in the main circuit; pressing it in an emergency will cut off the power to all equipment, ensuring safety.

[0028] Upon startup, clicking the "Start" button on the touchscreen triggers a command from the PLC controller inside control box 15, activating blower 5. Blower 5 draws air from dust collection box 1 through air pipe 6, creating a set negative pressure inside dust collection box 1. Dust generated by the light guide plate polishing machine is discharged from the dust outlet and, under negative pressure, passes through dustproof connector 4 into corrugated pipe 3. From there, it is transported to the suction port of dust collection box 1 and enters its interior.

[0029] Dust entering the dust collection box 1 first passes through the coarse filter 9. Large dust particles are intercepted below the coarse filter 9, some of which fall directly into the collection bucket 8, while the rest adhere to the coarse filter 9. The airflow containing fine dust after passing through the coarse filter continues to flow upward and reaches the fine filter 14 at the air intake. It is filtered and intercepted by the fine filter 14. The purified air enters the blower 5 through the air pipe 6 and is discharged from the air outlet of the blower 5, achieving standard emission.

[0030] The PLC controller controls the solenoid directional valve of the double-gate automatic discharge valve 7 to operate according to the set chip removal interval and opening time, driving the upper and lower cylinders to alternately extend and retract: the upper gate closes to cut off the air pipe 6 passage, and the lower gate opens to allow the dust swept off from the air pipe 6, coarse filter 9, and fine filter 14 to fall into the collection bucket 8; then the lower gate closes and the upper gate opens to restore the air pipe 6 passage, and so on to achieve uninterrupted chip removal, while ensuring the stable negative pressure of the dust collection box 1.

[0031] When the set cleaning interval is reached, the control box 15 automatically starts the drive motor 11. The drive motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 12 drives the brush 13 to rotate synchronously. The brush 13 gently brushes the surface of the fine filter screen 14, sweeping off the attached dust. The swept-off dust falls through the coarse filter screen 9 and into the collection bin 8.

[0032] When the collection bucket 8 is full, open the sealed door 2, pull out the collection bucket 8 for cleaning, push it back into the vacuum box 1 after cleaning, and close the sealed door 2.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
