DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the embodiments described herein are only some exemplary embodiments, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in the present disclosure, one skilled in the art may acquire all other embodiments without any creative efforts. All these shall be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

FIGS. 1-2 are cross-sectional views of a mold for processing a three-dimensional glass substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The mold 100 may be used for bending a planar glass into a glass substrate having a three-dimensional glass structure. As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the mold 100 may include a first die 70 and a second die 90. The first die 70 may be a female die and may define a receiving cavity 73. The second die 90 may cooperate with the first die 70. The second die 90 may be a male die having a punch cooperating with the receiving cavity 73 of the first die 70. More specifically, the mold 100 may have a mold-closing state in which the first die 70 may be engaged/clamped with the second die 90 to define a molding space for molding or manufacturing the three-dimensional glass structure, and may have a mold-opening state in which the first die 70 may be disengaged/separated from the second die 90.

Hereafter, the term “horizontal direction” may refer to a direction substantially perpendicular to a mold-closing or mold-opening direction of the mold 100. The term “vertical direction” may refer to a direction substantially parallel to a mold-closing or mold-opening direction of the mold 100.

In some embodiments, the first die 70 may include a base 71 and a side arm 72. The side arm 72 may cooperate with the base 71 to enclose/define the receiving cavity 73. The second die 90 may include a protrusion 91. When the mold 100 is in the mold-closing state, the protrusion 91 may protrude into the receiving cavity 73, and be spaced apart from the side arm 72. The protrusion 91 may cooperate with the base 71 and the side arm 72 to define the molding space for molding or manufacturing the three-dimensional glass structure.

More specifically, in some embodiments, the base 71 may include a first inner surface 711 located at a bottom of the receiving cavity 73. The side arm 72 may include an upper surface 721, a second inner surface 722, and a shaping surface 723. The second inner surface 722 may be connected to the upper surface 721 and may face towards the receiving cavity 73. The shaping surface 723 may be connected to the second inner surface 722 and the first inner surface 711. The first inner surface 711, the second inner surface 722, and the shaping surface 723 may cooperatively define the receiving cavity 73. In some embodiments, the shaping surface 723 may be a curved surface, and may be in shaped of an arc.

The protrusion 91 may include a first lower surface 911, a first outer side surface 912, a second lower surface 913, and a second outer side surface 914. The first lower surface 911 may oppositely face towards the first inner surface 711. The first outer side surface 912 may extend from the first lower surface 911 in a direction away from (opposite to) the base 71. The second lower surface 913 may extend along the horizontal direction from the first outer side surface 912. The second outer side surface 914 may extend along the vertical direction from the second lower surface 913 in a direction away from the base 71. The second outer side surface 914 may be opposite to the second inner surface 722 of the side arm 72.

When the mold 100 is in the mold-closing state, the second lower surface 913 of the protrusion 91 may partially abut against the shaping surface 723 of the side arm 72. In this case, the first inner surface 711, the shaping surface 723, the first lower surface 911, the first outer side surface 912, and the second lower surface 913 may cooperatively define the molding space. A distance between the first inner surface 711 and the first lower surface 911 and a distance between the first outer side surface 912 and the shaping surface 723 may be substantially equal to a thickness of the planar glass.

In some embodiments, the first inner surface 711 may be substantially perpendicular to the second inner surface 722 and the second outer side surface 914, and substantially parallel to the first lower surface 911. In some embodiments, the first inner surface 711 and the first lower surface 911 may be both horizontal surfaces (that is, the surfaces extend in the horizontal direction). The second inner surface 722 and the second outer side surface 914 may be vertical surfaces (that is, the surfaces extend in the vertical direction).

In some embodiments, the second die 90 may further include a baffle 92. The baffle 92 may be disposed on an outer periphery of the protrusion 91 and spaced apart from the protrusion 91 to define a recess 93. When the mold 100 is in the mold-closing state, the side arm 72 of the first die 70 may be engaged in the recess 93. In some embodiments, the side arm 72 may be disposed adjacent to an edge of the base 71. In this case, when the second die 90 is engaged with the first die 70, the edge of the base 71 may support the baffle 92.

In some embodiments, the second die 90 may have a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the glass, and the first die 70 may have a thermal expansion coefficient less than that of the glass. During the cooling of the three-dimensional glass product, the second die 90 may have a shrinkage speed greater than that of the glass, and the first die 70 may have a shrinkage speed less than that of glass. In this way, the three-dimensional glass product may be easy to take out, and the yield may be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 3-5, during the processing, a planar glass 40 may be provided. The planar glass 40 may be fixed to the first die 70, and then the second die 90 may be engaged or clamped with the first die 70, such that the planar glass 40 may be formed into a glass substrate 50 having a structure as shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the glass substrate 50 may include a substrate body 51 and a bending portion 52 bent from the substrate body 51. In some embodiments, the substrate body 51 may have a flat shape. An angle between the bending portion 52 and the substrate body 51 may be ranged from approximately 90° to approximately 100°. In some embodiments, the angle may be an angle defined between a tangent of an end of the bending portion and a horizontal plane (that is, the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction), and angle may further face towards the inner side of the substrate 50, as shown in the angle α in FIG. 5.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a mold 200 for producing a barbed glass plate may be further provided. The mold 200 may be used for processing the glass substrate 50 having a three-dimensional glass structure to produce a barbed glass plate 60. As shown in FIG. 6, the barbed glass plate 60 may include a body portion 61, a transition portion 62, and an extension portion 63. The transition portion 62 may be bent from an edge of the body portion 61. The extension portion 63 may be bent from an edge of the transition portion 62. The body portion 61 may cooperate with the transition portion 62 and the extension portion 63, to cooperatively define or enclose a receiving space 64 opened at one end. The extension portion 63 may include a external surface 631 facing away from the receiving space 64. The external surface 631 may include an end point 631A and a connection point 631B. The end point 631A may face away from the body portion 61. The connection point 631B may be connected to the transition portion 62. A tangential direction of the external surface 631 at the connection point 631B may be substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction. An angle between a tangential direction of the external surface 631 at the end point 631A and the horizontal direction and facing away from the receiving space 64 may be set as θ, wherein θ may satisfy: 90°<θ≤180°. In some embodiments, θ may satisfy: 110°≤θ≤180°. A distance between the connection point 631B and the end point 631A in the horizontal direction may be set as U, and U may be ranged from approximately 0.15 mm to approximately 1 mm. The barbed glass plate 60 may have a barb. A size at the opening of the receiving space 64 may be less than a size in the interior of the receiving space 64.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the barbed glass plate 60 may have two extension portions 63 (i.e., the first extension portion 63a and the second extension portion 63b) and two transition portions 62 (i.e., the first transition portion 62a and the second transition portion 62b). The first transition portion 62a may be bent from a first end of the body portion 61, and the second transition portion 62b may be bent from a second end (opposite to the first end) of the body portion 61. The first extension portion 63a may be bent from the first transition portion 62a. The second extension portion 63b may be bent from the second transition portion 63b. The extension portions 63a and 63b are disposed at one end of the glass plate 60 at which the opening is defined.

The first extension portion 63a may include a first external surface 631 facing away from the receiving space 64. The first external surface 631 may include a first end point 631A and a first connection point 631B. The first end point 631A may face away from the body portion 61, and the first connection point 632B may be connected to the first transition portion 62.

wherein the second extension portion 63b may include a second external surface 631 facing away from the receiving space 64. The second external surface 631 may include a second end point 631A and a second connection point 631B. The second end point 631A may face away from the body portion 61, and the second connection point 631B may be connected to the second transition portion 62.

A distance between the first end point and the second end point is less than a distance from between the first connection point and the second connection point. In this way, the glass plate 60 may have a more aesthetical appearance, the feel of grip may be better, and the glass plate 60 may be convenient to assemble.

As shown in FIGS. 7-10, the mold 200 may include a lower die 10 and an upper die 30. The lower die 10 may define a cavity 13. The upper die 30 may cooperate with the lower die 10. More specifically, the mold 200 may have a mold-closing state in which the upper die 30 may be engaged/clamped with the lower die 10 to define a molding space for molding or manufacturing the three-dimensional glass structure, and may have a mold-opening state in which the upper die 30 may be disengaged/separated from the lower die 10.

The lower die 10 may include a bottom wall 11 and a side wall 12. The side wall 12 may cooperate with the bottom wall 11 to enclose/define the cavity 13. The side wall 12 may be connected and transitioned to the bottom wall 11 via an arc. The upper die 30 may include a protrusion 31. When the mold 200 is in the mold-closing state, the protrusion 31 may protrude into the receiving cavity 13, and be spaced apart from the side wall 12. Besides, a distance between the protrusion 31 and the side wall 12 may be greater than or equal to a sum of a thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U, and may be further less than or equal to twice the sum of the thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U.

An overall shape of the glass substrate 50 may be the same as or similar to a shape of the cavity 13. Since the distance between the protrusion 31 and the side wall 12 may be greater than or equal to a sum of a thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U and less than or equal to twice the sum of the thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U, when the mold 200 is in the mold-closing state, the protrusion 31 may gradually protrude into the cavity 13, during which the protrusion 31 may press the substrate body 51. Under the action of the side wall 12 of the lower die 10, the bending portion 52 may be formed into the transition portion 62 and the extension portion 63 bent from the edge of the transition portion 62 of the barbed glass plate 60 by means of thermal pressing.

In some embodiments, the side wall 12 may include a receiving surface 121 and a connecting surface 122. The receiving surface 121 may be configured to provide a clearance to and receive the bending portion 52. The connecting surface 122 may be connected to the receiving surface 121 and the bottom wall 11. The protrusion 31 may include a top surface 311 and a side surface 312. The top surface 311 may oppositely face towards the bottom wall 11. The side surface 312 may extend from the top surface 311 in a direction away from (opposite to) the bottom wall 11. When the mold 200 is in the mold-closing state, a distance between the side surface 312 and the receiving surface 121 may be greater than a distance between the side surface 312 and the connecting surface 122. Besides, the distance between the side surface 312 and the connecting surface 122 may be greater than the sum of the thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U, and less than or equal to twice the sum of the thickness of the extension portion 63 and the distance U. By using the difference between the size of the protrusion 31 of the upper die 30 and that of the side wall 12 of the lower die 10, one end of the bending portion 52 that is away from/opposite to the substrate body 51 may be bent in a direction towards the receiving space, such that the barb may be formed.

In some embodiments, the bottom wall 11 may be a flat surface. The receiving surface 121 and the connecting surface 122 may be both curved surfaces, or may be in shape of arcs. The side surface 312 may be a vertical surface. A shape of the top surface 311 may match with a shape of the bottom wall 11.

In this embodiment, the softening temperature of 700° C.; after the glass substrate 50 and the mold 200 reach to the softening temperature, the temperature of the glass substrate 50 and the mold 200 may be kept at 700° C. for 3 minutes. At this block, during the heating, the mold 200 may be in the mold-opening state, and the upper die 30 may have not yet protruded into the cavity 13 of the lower die 10, which provides a preparation for the subsequent mold-closing process.

At block S5, the upper die 30 may be clamped or engaged with the lower die 10, such that the barbed glass plate 60 may be produced with the glass substrate 50 by means of thermal pressing.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the upper die 30 is clamped or engaged with the lower die 10, the protrusion 31 may abut against the substrate body 51 of the glass substrate 50, until the substrate body 51 may be attached to the bottom wall 11 of the lower die 10.
