Description

A flexible glass cleaning device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible glass production technology, specifically to a flexible glass cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-thin flexible glass is a popular material for foldable screen covers. Ultra-thin flexible glass refers to glass with a thickness of 1.2mm to 0.3mm, which supports bending and folding. In the preparation process of ultra-thin flexible glass, after the glass panel passes through the acid tank, it needs to go through the alkali tank. The glass panel needs to be transported from the acid tank to the alkali tank by a conveying component. The announcement number is CN 221493437 U, which belongs to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass technology and is an ultra-thin flexible glass cleaning and spraying device. It includes an acid tank (1) and an alkali tank (2). A conveying component (3) is set between the acid tank (1) and the alkali tank (2). A moving component is set above the conveying component (3). The moving component includes a moving track (4). A water tank body (5) is connected to the moving track (4). A spray hole (6) is set at the bottom of the water tank body (5). The moving track (4) is set to be able to move relative to the conveying component (3). The ultra-thin flexible glass cleaning and spraying device of the present invention has a simple structure. It cleans the acid on the surface of the glass after it leaves the acid tank and before it enters the alkali tank, thus avoiding the appearance defects such as creases and acid etching caused by the ultra-thin flexible glass being exposed to air during transportation, thereby improving product quality. Technical issues

[0003] The above solution has the following shortcomings in its implementation: because flexible glass is very easy to bend, when water is sprayed onto the glass, the glass surface will bend, resulting in some areas of the glass not being able to come into contact with water for cleaning. In addition, the above solution can only clean one side of the glass. Technical solutions

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a flexible glass cleaning device that has the advantage of uniformly applying water to both sides of the glass surface, avoiding the problems of uneven water application and cleaning only one side of the glass.

[0005] To achieve the goal of uniformly coating water onto both sides of the glass, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A flexible glass cleaning device includes a main frame, connecting frames mounted on both side walls of the main frame, and transmission components mounted on the side walls of the connecting frames for transporting glass slides. A cleaning component is mounted on the inner wall of the main frame for cleaning the glass slides. The device also includes:

[0007] The cleaning assembly includes a first bidirectional threaded rod, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the main frame. Connecting plates are threaded to both sides of the first bidirectional threaded rod. A pipe body is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the connecting plate. A sponge pad is rotatably connected to the side wall of the pipe body. A water outlet is opened on the inner wall of the pipe body. A water tank is fixedly connected to the top of the main frame. A water pump is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank. A water pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. Two connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the end of the water pipe, and the connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the pipe body.

[0008] According to some embodiments, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate, a motor unit is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, a plurality of first rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the output end of the motor unit, and a cleaning cotton is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft.

[0009] According to some embodiments, the sidewall of the connecting plate is fixedly connected with absorbent cotton, and the ends of the sponge pad, cleaning cotton and absorbent cotton are flush.

[0010] According to some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a second bidirectional threaded rod, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the connecting frame, and sliding blocks are threadedly connected to both side walls of the second bidirectional threaded rod.

[0011] According to some embodiments, the two side walls of the sliding block are respectively rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft and a rotating column, and the side walls of the second rotating shaft and the rotating column located in the inner cavity of the main frame are both fixedly connected to a transmission roller.

[0012] According to some embodiments, sprockets are fixedly connected to both the second rotating shaft and the side wall of the rotating column, and a track is rotatably connected between the sprockets. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft.

[0014] This invention provides a flexible glass cleaning device, which has the following advantages:

[0015] This flexible glass cleaning device utilizes the threaded connection between the first bidirectional threaded rod and the connecting plate. This connection allows the connecting plate to move a sponge pad, cleaning cotton, and absorbent cotton to clamp the glass slide in the middle. The sponge pad, which rotates with the glass slide, evenly coats both sides of the glass slide with water, preventing the glass slide from bending due to water pressure and making it difficult to fully wet and clean both sides of the glass slide. Then, the motor unit drives the first rotating shaft and cleaning cotton to rotate, cleaning the glass slide. Finally, the absorbent cotton is used to absorb the water from the surface of the glass slide, cleaning both sides of the glass slide. This design is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Referring to Figures 1-4, a flexible glass cleaning device includes a main frame 1, connecting frames 101 mounted on both side walls of the main frame 1, transmission components 2 mounted on the side walls of the connecting frames 101 for transporting glass sheets, and a cleaning component 3 mounted on the inner wall of the main frame 1 for cleaning the glass sheets. The device also includes:

[0023] The cleaning assembly 3 includes a first bidirectional threaded rod 301, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the main frame 1. Both sides of the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 are threadedly connected to connecting plates 302. A pipe body 303 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the connecting plate 302. A sponge pad 304 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the pipe body 303. A water outlet 305 is opened on the inner wall of the pipe body 303. A water tank 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the main frame 1. A water pump 307 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank 306. A water pipe 308 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 307. Two connecting pipes 309 are fixedly connected to the end of the water pipe 308, and the connecting pipes 309 and the pipe body 303 are fixedly connected.

[0024] A mounting plate 310 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 302. A motor assembly 311 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 310. Multiple first rotating shafts 312 are fixedly connected to the output end of the motor assembly 311. A cleaning cotton 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft 312.

[0025] The side wall of the connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected with absorbent cotton 314, and the ends of the sponge pad 304, cleaning cotton 313 and absorbent cotton 314 are flush.

[0026] It should be noted that: the glass slide is transported using the transmission assembly 2. The first bidirectional threaded rod 301 is rotated, and the threaded connection between the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 and the connecting plate 302 causes the connecting plate 302 to slide the components mounted on its side wall towards the center. This causes the sponge pad 304, cleaning cotton 313, and absorbent cotton 314 to clamp the glass slide in the middle. The water pump 307 draws water from the inner cavity of the water tank 306 and delivers it to the inner cavity of the pipe body 303 through the water pipe 308 and connecting pipe 309. The water is then sprayed onto the sponge pad 304 through the water outlet 305. The sponge pad 304, which rotates with the glass slide, evenly coats both sides of the glass slide with water. The motor assembly 311 drives the first rotating shaft 312 and the cleaning cotton 313 to rotate, cleaning the glass slide. Finally, the absorbent cotton 314 is used to absorb the moisture on the surface of the glass slide and clean both sides of the glass slide, which facilitates operation.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-4, the transmission assembly 2 includes a second bidirectional threaded rod 201, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the connecting frame 101. Sliding blocks 202 are threadedly connected to both sides of the second bidirectional threaded rod 201.

[0028] The sliding block 202 has a second rotating shaft 203 and a rotating column 204 rotatably connected to its two side walls respectively. The second rotating shaft 203 and the rotating column 204 in the inner cavity of the main frame 1 are both fixedly connected to the side walls of the rotating shaft 203 and the rotating column 204.

[0029] It should be noted that: by rotating the second bidirectional threaded rod 201, the sliding block 202 is slid towards the middle of the main frame 1 through the threaded connection between the second bidirectional threaded rod 201 and the sliding block 202, so that the transmission rollers 207 on the side walls of the second rotating shaft 203 and the rotating column 204 on both the upper and lower sides are in contact with the glass sheet, so as to avoid deformation of the glass sheet during transmission, which would make some areas difficult to clean.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-4, sprockets are fixedly connected to the side walls of the second rotating shaft 203 and the rotating column 204, and a track 205 is rotatably connected between the sprockets. A servo motor 206 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block 202, and the output end of the servo motor 206 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0031] Both the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 201 have nuts 4 threadedly connected to their side walls. The nuts 4 are used to fix the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 201.

[0032] It should be noted that: the servo motor 206 drives the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate. Since the second rotating shaft 203 and the side wall of the rotating column 204 are rotatably connected by the track 205, the second rotating shaft 203 can drive the rotating column 204 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the transmission roller 207 and the transmission of the glass sheet. The nut 4 is used to fix the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 201.

[0033] Operation method: Rotate the second bidirectional threaded rod 201, and use the threaded connection between the second bidirectional threaded rod 201 and the sliding block 202 to make the sliding block 202 slide towards the middle of the main frame 1, so that the transmission rollers 207 on the side walls of the second rotating shaft 203 and the rotating column 204 on both the upper and lower sides are in contact with the glass sheet. The servo motor 206 drives the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate. Since the second rotating shaft 203 and the side walls of the rotating column 204 are rotatably connected by the track 205, the second rotating shaft 203 can drive the rotating column 204 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the transmission rollers 207 and the transmission of the glass sheet.

[0034] The process involves rotating the first bidirectional threaded rod 301, utilizing the threaded connection between the first bidirectional threaded rod 301 and the connecting plate 302, causing the connecting plate 302 to slide the components mounted on its side wall towards the center. This allows the sponge pad 304, cleaning cotton 313, and absorbent cotton 314 to sandwich the glass slide in the middle. The water pump 307 draws water from the inner cavity of the water tank 306 and delivers it to the inner cavity of the pipe body 303 through the water pipe 308 and connecting pipe 309. The water is then sprayed onto the sponge pad 304 through the water outlet 305. The sponge pad 304, which rotates with the glass slide, evenly coats both sides of the glass slide with water, preventing the glass slide from bending due to water pressure and making it difficult to fully wet and clean both sides of the glass slide. The motor unit 311 then drives the first rotating shaft 312 and the cleaning cotton 313 to rotate, cleaning the glass slide. Finally, the absorbent cotton 314 absorbs the moisture from the surface of the glass slide, cleaning both sides of the glass slide, making the operation convenient.

[0035] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
