This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN201511000913.4, titled “SUPPORT FRAME FOR CARRYING GLASS PLATE AND GLASS TRANSPORT FRAME” , filed with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office on December 28, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to support frames of glass plates and glass transport frames, and more particularly to a support frame for carrying a glass plate and a glass transport frame.

BACKGROUND

Glass plates, such as vehicle glass and architectural glass etc., due to their fragile and easily scratched properties, need to be fixed in glass transport frames when being transported to users. A patent of Publication No. CN201634106 discloses a glass transport frame including a main body frame, a rack bracket fixed to a bottom frame and a turning rod fixed to a side frame, and a glass being vertically placed in the transport frame, with a bottom side of the glass fixed in a groove in the rack bracket, and lateral sides of the glass pressed and fixed by the turning rod from side directions.

These glass transport frames generally have complicated structure, and it is required to place a glass plate in a specific position when the glass plate is assembled into a transport frame, thus the packing efficiency is low. In addition, these glass transport frames are usually bulky, and it takes up plenty of transportation resources in transporting empty glass transport frames back to glass manufacturers, which results in higher transportation costs.

SUMMARY

A basic idea is that, since the first concave and the second concave of the support frame are respectively adapted to carry the glass plate placed in the first orientation and the glass plate placed in the second orientation, there is no need to distinguish orientation of the glass plate intentionally when the glass plate is loaded into the support frame. This is particularly useful for glass plates having directivity and heavy weight. For example, an upper side and a lower side of a windshield glass have a different length. When glass plates are assembled to the glass transport frames in the conventional technology, it is necessary to pay special attention to orientation of the glass plates. The glass plates need to be corrected when the glass plates are placed in wrong orientations. However, due to large weight of the windshield glass, corrective processes result in wasted manpower and reduced efficiency. In contrast, the first concave and the second concave of the support frame according to one aspect of the present disclosure are respectively adapted to carry the glass plate placed in the first orientation and the glass plate placed in the second orientation, when workers assemble the glass plate into the support frame, there is no need to pay special attention to the orientation of the glass plate and also no problem of a wrong orientation, therefore, the support frame can improve the assembling efficiency of workers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 schematically illustrates a plan view of a support frame for carrying a glass plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The support frame 100 is adapted to carry a glass plate 200. Referring to a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction shown in Figure 1, the glass plate 200 has a first longitudinal side 211, a second longitudinal side 212 opposite to the first longitudinal side 211 along a lateral direction, a first lateral side 221 and a second lateral side 222 opposite to the first lateral side 221 along a longitudinal direction. Wherein the first longitudinal side 211 has a length smaller than a length of the second longitudinal side 212, i.e. the glass plate 200 has directivity. Such glass plates are very common in vehicle glass such as vehicle skylight glass and vehicle windshield glass.

The support frame 100 has a first concave 110 and a second concave 120, wherein the first concave 110 matches with a shape of the glass plate 200 when the glass plate 200 is placed in a first orientation (as shown in Fig. 1) along the lateral direction, the second concave 120 matches with a shape of the glass plate 200 when the glass plate 200 is placed in a second orientation (as shown in Fig. 1) opposite to the first orientation. Referring specifically to Fig. 1, the glass plate 200 placed along the first orientation is rotated 180 degrees in the plane of Fig 1 to obtain the glass plate 200 placed in the second orientation.

When placing the glass plate 200, workers do not need to pay special attention to orientation of the glass plate 200. Specifically, when the workers lift the glass plate 200 up in the first orientation, the glass plate 200 can be placed in the first concave 110, and when the workers lift the glass plate 200 up in the second orientation, the glass plate 200 can be placed in the second concave 120, which improves the assembly efficiency of the glass plate 200 and overcomes the disadvantages of the glass transport frames in the convention technology being adapted only for accommodating the glass plate in a specific orientation. The support frame 100 is particularly suitable when the glass plate 200 is bulky and heavier in weight. For the glass transport frames in the convention technology, there is a need to flip the glass plate to a specific orientation to fit in the glass transport frames, which results in waste of manpower and time, whereas for the support frame 100, there is no need to pay special attention to the orientation of the glass plate, which saves time and effort in an assembly process. In addition, the other concave of the support frame 100 can still be used when one concave is damaged, thus the service life of the support frame 100 is long.

In addition, the first concave 110 and the second concave 120 are at least partially overlapped. As shown in Fig. 1, intermediate portions of the first concave 110 and the second concave 120 are overlapped. A majority of intermediate portions of the glass plate 200 can be accommodated in the overlapped regions of the first concave 110 and the second concave 120 regardless that the glass plate 200 is placed in the first orientation or the second orientation. The first concave 110 and the second concave 120 are arranged with the intermediate portions being overlapped, which can reduce the area of the support frame 100.

A material of the support frame 100 may be any material having better compression stiffness, higher toughness, better cushion, and better dimensional stability. The material includes, for example, expandable polystyrene, expandable polyethylene, expandable polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene mixed polyfoam, elastomeric polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, honeycomb board material or pulp board material. Table 1 shows performance reference for these materials, each performance scores from 1 to 5, wherein 5 represents the best. The overall performance can be considered according to a usage requirement, in order to select the desired materials.

Fig. 2a schematically illustrates a front perspective view of a variant of the support frame in Fig. 1, and Fig. 2b schematically illustrates a rear perspective view of the variant. The variant will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 2a and 2b.

A support frame 100 may also include a bump 161 located on a front side of the support frame 100 as shown in Fig. 2a and a slot 162 located on a back side of the support frame 100 as shown in Fig. 2b, wherein a position of the bump 161 corresponds to a position of the slot 162 along the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction shown in Fig. 1. When a plurality of support frames 100 are piled one above another, a bump 161 of a lower support frame 100 is fixed in a slot 162 of an upper support frame 100, thus the plurality of support frames 100 are fixed to each other in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction.

The support frame 100 may further include a through hole 170. Since the glass plate 200 (referring to Fig. 1) is usually provided with pins for fixing the glass plate 200 to a building or a vehicle body, the through hole 170 provides accommodating space for the glass plate 200.

The support frame 100 may further include an opening 180 located on an edge of the support frame 100 and communicates with the first concave 110 and/or the second concave 120. Workers can stretch their hand into the bottom of the glass plate 200 through the opening 180, thus it is convenient for loading and unloading the glass plate.

The support frame 100 may further include a buffer block 190 located on a rear side of the support frame 100, wherein the buffer block 190 has a height smaller than both a depth of the first concave 110 and a depth of the second concave 120. The buffer block 190 may be made of an existing cushioning material, such as rubber. The buffer block 190 can prevent the glass plate 200 from going up and down during transport.

The aforementioned bump 161 and buffer blocks 190 may form a one-piece component with the support frame 100, or may be fixed to the support frame 100 after being molded independently.

The support frame 100 has a first longitudinal end portion 131 extending along a longitudinal direction and a second longitudinal end portion 132 which is opposite to the first longitudinal end portion 131 along the lateral direction and separated from the first longitudinal end portion 131. Wherein the first concave 110 (referring to Fig. 1) includes a first longitudinal groove 111 and a second longitudinal groove 112, the first longitudinal groove 111 is located on the first longitudinal end portion 131 and matches with a shape of the first longitudinal side 211 of the glass plate being placed in the first orientation, and the second longitudinal groove 112 is located on the second longitudinal end portion 132 and matches with a shape of the second longitudinal side 212 of the glass plate being placed in the first orientation； and wherein the second concave 120 (referring to Fig. 1) includes a third longitudinal groove 121 and a fourth longitudinal groove 122, the third longitudinal groove 121 is located on the first longitudinal end portion 131 and matches with a shape of the second longitudinal side 212 of the glass plate being placed in the second orientation, and the fourth longitudinal groove 122 is located on the second longitudinal end portion 132 and matches with a shape of the first longitudinal side 211 of the glass plate being placed in the second orientation. The width of the support frame 100 thus arranged can be adjusted to accommodate the glass plate 200 of different width dimensions (referring to Fig. 1) .

Most of the vehicle glass has a symmetry axis in the lateral direction, thus the first longitudinal end portion 131 and the second longitudinal end portion 132 may be identical, so that there is no need to pay special attention to placement when the first longitudinal end portion 131 and the second longitudinal end portion 132 are being placed, and the first longitudinal end portion 131 and the second longitudinal end portion 132 can be obtained by one mould.

Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a plan view of a support frame for carrying a glass plate according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

A support frame 100 has a first lateral end portion 141 extending along a lateral direction and a second lateral end portion 142 which is opposite to the first lateral end portion 141 along a longitudinal direction and separated from the first lateral end portion 141. Wherein the first concave 110 includes a first lateral groove 411 and a second lateral groove 412, the first lateral groove 411 is located on the first lateral end portion141 and matches with a shape of the first lateral side 221 of the glass plate being placed in a first orientation, and the second lateral groove 412 is located on the second lateral end portion 142 and matches with a shape of the second lateral side 222 of the glass plate being placed in the first orientation； and wherein the second concave 120 includes a third lateral groove 421 and a fourth lateral groove 422, the third lateral groove 421 is located on the first lateral end portion 141 and matches with a shape of the second lateral side 222 of the glass plate being placed in a second orientation, and the fourth lateral groove 422 is located on the second lateral end portion 142 and matches with a shape of the first lateral side 221 of the glass plate being placed in the second orientation. The length of the support frame 100 thus arranged can be adjusted to accommodate the glass plates 200 of different length dimensions.

Most of the vehicle glass has a symmetry axis along the lateral direction, thus the first lateral end portion 141 and the second lateral end portion 142 may be identical. There is no need to pay special attention to the placement when the first lateral end portion 141 and the second lateral end portion 142 are being placed, and the first lateral end portion 141 and the second lateral end portion 142 can be obtained by one mould.

An additional advantage of the support frame in Fig. 4, compared with the support frame in Fig. 3 is that, the material is more economical, and it is generally along the lateral direction of the glass plate when the glass plate is placed or taken, thus it is more convenient for the support frame in Fig. 4 to perform the placing and taking operation.

Figure 5 schematically illustrates a plan view of a support frame for carrying a glass plate according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

The support frame 100 has four

corner portions

151, 152, 153, 154 which are separated from each other and are respectively located at four corners of the support frame 100. When the glass plate is placed in a first orientation, the corner portion 151 has a first groove 511 which matches with an intersection portion of the first longitudinal side 211 and the first lateral side 221 of the glass plate, the corner portion 152 has a second groove 512 which matches with an intersection portion of the first longitudinal side 211 and the second lateral side 222 of the glass plate, the corner portion 153 has a third groove 513 which matches with an intersection portion of the second longitudinal side 212 and the first lateral side 221 of the glass plate, the corner portion 154 has a fourth groove 514 which matches with an intersection portion of the second longitudinal side 212 and the second lateral side 222 of the glass plate, and the first groove 511, the second groove 512, the third groove 513 and the fourth groove 514 form the first concave 110 together.
