Abstract
A system for separating the front and back outer glass layer from the casing/body of electronic mobile devices and for cutting mobile device screen protector sheets by way of laser burning and cutting comprises a housing, such housing containing a laser; a mirror galvanometer; a safety chamber enclosure; a metal plate with internal glass sheet; a chamber with opening and closing lid, lid button and lid sensor; a control printed circuit board with processor; a power inlet; a power supply; and an on/off switch.
Claims19
A system for separating a front and/or back outer glass layer from a casing/body of an electronic mobile device and for cutting a mobile device screen protector sheet by way of laser burning and cutting, comprising:
- a housing, said housing containing:
- a laser, for generating a laser beam;
- a mirror galvanometer, for directing the laser beam produced by the laser;
- a safety chamber enclosure through which the laser beam produced by the laser and directed by the mirror galvanometer are channeled for safety purposes;
- a metal plate with internal glass sheet for closing off the safety chamber enclosure and for allowing the laser beam to pass through the glass sheet;
- a chamber with opening and closing lid fitted on top of the metal plate with internal glass sheet in which the electronic mobile device or part thereof or the mobile device screen protector sheet is placed;
- a button for opening the lid;
- a control printed circuit board with processor capable of controlling operation of the laser and the mirror galvanometer;
- a power inlet utilized to provide power to the control printed circuit board and to an internal power supply of the laser;
- the internal power supply for providing power to the laser;
- and
- an on/off switch for powering the system on and off and also for operating the system.
A laser mold, used to house an electronic mobile device and/or an electronic mobile device part and/or a mobile device screen protector sheet and to expose only part of such electronic mobile device and/or an electronic mobile device part and/or the mobile device screen protector sheet to a laser beam directed towards a bottom end of the mold, comprising:
- a metal base with cut outs on a bottom of the metal base in order to allow a laser beam to pass through the cut outs;
- a chamber with indentation matching a design and dimensions of an electronic mobile device and/or an electronic mobile device part and/or the mobile device screen protector sheet so that the electronic mobile device and/or an electronic mobile device part and/or the mobile device screen protector sheet can fit in the chamber;
- a glass sheet configured to seal a bottom end of the metal base and to allow a laser beam to pass through the glass sheet and burn the exposed part of the electronic mobile device and/or an electronic mobile device part and/or the mobile device screen protector sheet housed within the mold;
- and
- a top sliding or magnetic cover configured to seal off the indentation chamber to trap toxic fumes created when the laser beam burns contents of the mold to allow the toxic fumes to settle.
