The present disclosure relates to a structure for cleaning glass debris and a transporter.
In the related manufacturing process of glass substrates, when the glass substrate is cut by a wheel cutter of a veneer-cutting machine, a large amount of fine glass debris residue is generated and enters an alignment ultraviolet irradiation platform along with the glass substrate. A portion of the alignment ultraviolet irradiation platform in contact with the glass substrate is coated with a black fluororesin, playing a role in temperature conduction and ultraviolet absorption.
After the glass debris enters the alignment ultraviolet irradiation platform, a coating layer of the platform is liable to be scrapped, and a metal inner panel is exposed, causing the ultraviolet light to be reflected during manufacturing. As a result, bad alignments in single dots or small regions are formed on the substrate, and the yield is low.
One of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide a structure for cleaning glass debris, which is capable of removing glass debris timely and improving the yield.
In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a structure for cleaning glass debris, including:
a wheel cutter of a veneer-cutting machine; a platform for arranging a transparent substrate; and an air cutter arranged at one side of the platform. The air cutter includes an air outlet. A minimum angle between the air outlet and a horizontal plane of the platform is less than 90 degrees.
In a second aspect, a transporter is provided. The transporter includes a structure for cleaning glass debris of the transporter and a transport mechanism for transporting the transparent substrate. The structure includes a wheel cutter of a veneer-cutting machine; a platform for arranging a transparent substrate; and an air cutter arranged at one side of the platform. The air cutter includes an air outlet. A minimum angle between the air outlet and a horizontal plane of the platform is less than 90 degrees.
In a third aspect, there is provided a glass substrate cutting device, including:
a platform, for disposing a glass substrate;
a wheel cutter, for cutting the glass substrate; and
a first air cutter and a second air cutter.
An air outlet of the first air cutter is configured to face the glass substrate at a first angle, and an air outlet of the second air cutter is configured to face the glass substrate at a second angle. An angle between the air outlet of the first air cutter and a surface of the platform is less than 90 degrees, and an angle between the air outlet of the second air cutter and the surface of the platform is less than 90 degrees.
It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that although the following detailed description will be made with reference to the illustrated embodiments and the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. Nevertheless, the scope of the disclosure is broad and the scope of the present disclosure is intended to be limited by the appended claims.
Other features, objects, and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent by reading the following detailed description of the non-limiting embodiments with reference to the following drawings:
Before discussing the exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted in the flowcharts. Although the flowcharts describe the operations as sequential processing, many of these operations may be implemented in parallel, concurrently, or simultaneously. In addition, the order of operations can be rearranged. A process may be terminated when its operations are complete, but the process may also have additional steps not included in the drawings. The process may correspond to a method, a function, a procedure, a subroutine, a sub-procedure, or the like.
The methods discussed below (some of which are depicted by flow charts) may be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or any combination thereof. When a method is implemented by software, firmware, middleware, or microcode, the program code or code segment for implementing the necessary task may be stored in a machine or a computer-readable medium (e.g. a storage medium). (One or more) processors can perform the necessary task.
The specific structures and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative and are intended to describe the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the disclosure may be specifically embodied in many alternative forms and is not to be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
It should be understood that although the terms “first”, “second” and the like may be used herein to describe each unit, these units should not be limited by these terms. The use of these terms is only to distinguish one unit from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the exemplary embodiment, the first unit may be referred to as a second unit, and similarly a second unit may be referred to as a first unit. The term “and/or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated items listed therein.
The terminology used herein is merely for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments. Unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, the singular forms “a” and “an” as used herein, are also intended to include the plural. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and/or “including” used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, units and/or components without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, units, components and/or a combination thereof.
It should also be mentioned that in some alternative implementations, the mentioned functions/actions may occur in an order different from that indicated in the drawings. For example, two pictures shown in succession may actually be executed substantially simultaneously or sometimes in the reverse order depending on the function/action involved.
As shown in
The present disclosure is further described below with reference to accompanying figures.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a structure for cleaning glass debris is provided. As shown in
Optionally, the above air cutter 21 is multiple air cutters. The multiple air cutters are arranged at a first side and a second side opposite to the first side of the platform 20 separately. In the present embodiment, the multiple air cutters are arranged at a left side and a right side of the platform 20 separately. It can improve the effect of the air cutters by arranging the air cutters at two side faces. The air flow provided by the air cutter at the left side and the air flow provided by the air cutter at the right side can well clean the glass debris on the surfaces of the glass product, especially in the case of large size glass product.
Optionally, the air cutter 21 is multiple air cutters. The multiple air cutters are arranged at an upper side and a lower side of the platform separately.
The glass debris on the upper side and the lower side of the glass product can be handled effectively by arranging the air cutters on both the upper side and the lower side face.
Optionally, as shown in
The structure of the above air cutter is provided with a slope, such that the air flow may be blow in from a top end of the slope and guided into the platform along the slope. The support part first plays a role in supporting the air guide platform. Furthermore, the support part is provided with the connection part, and the connection part is connected to the roller such that the angle between the air cutter and the platform can be adjusted according to the actual situation, thereby achieving the optimum blowing effect and improving the cleanliness of glass product.
Optionally, the structure for cleaning glass debris further includes an air suction device 28. The air suction device 28 is arranged at one side of the platform. A bottom of the air suction device 28 may be further provided with a dust collection box. So it is convenient to collect the glass debris and the cleanliness of glass product is further improved.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a transporter. The transporter includes the above structure for cleaning glass debris and a transport mechanism for transporting a transparent substrate. The transport includes, but is not limited to, the following manners: roller, robotic arm, moving, conveying, lifting, and the like.
