Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass processing, in particular to a glass processing production line. Background Art

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material. It is generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals as the main raw materials, with a small amount of auxiliary raw materials added. Its main components are silicon dioxide and other oxides, and the main component is silicate complex salt. It is an amorphous solid with an irregular structure and is widely used in life.

[0003] Sheets of glass are usually cut and ground from glass, and their silica content can reach over 99.99%. They have a Mohs scale hardness of 7 and are characterized by high temperature resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, thermal shock resistance, and good electrical insulation properties. Sheets of glass have a wide range of market applications and are mostly used to produce window glass, automotive glass, electronic product displays, glass doors, etc. Sheets of glass need to go through multiple processes such as grinding, cutting, polishing, and gluing. Glass processing usually uses a material rack stacking method to place the glass next to the automatic glass cutting machine platform. When the automatic glass cutting machine platform needs glass, at least two workers are required to operate simultaneously to carry the entire piece of glass to the entrance of the automatic glass cutting machine platform. Manual handling of glass alone is labor-intensive and inefficient, and there is a risk of cutting the arm with the glass. Labor costs are also relatively high.

[0004] Therefore, large-scale glass with a large area needs to be transported by rollers during the production process. During the glass production process, an automatic loading unit is used. This automatic loading unit uses a robotic arm and a suction cup to absorb the glass to complete the loading effect. However, the robotic arm structure needs to rotate multiple times to adjust the direction of the glass, and multiple grasping and rotation operations are required to complete the transfer of the glass plate. This places high demands on the positioning of the robotic arm, and the process is cumbersome and requires a large amount of space. In addition, due to the limited internal and external space of the CNC unit casing, the door is usually opened. This door structure is inconvenient to use and difficult to use with the robotic arm loading unit, resulting in poor flexibility. Summary of the Invention

During the breaking step, the breaking block 2142 is driven downward to apply pressure to the glass.

[0064] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a first movable module 230, a first lifting structure 233, a second movable module 240, and a second lifting structure 243. The first movable module 230 is disposed between the first conveying roller group 223 and the vacuum suction cup, and the first lifting structure 233 is disposed on the first movable module 230. The second movable module 240 is disposed between the second conveying roller group 224 and the vacuum suction cup, and the second lifting structure 243 is disposed on the second movable module 240.

[0065] The first moving module 230 includes a first X-axis moving module 231 and a first Y-axis moving module 232. Both ends of the first X-axis moving module 231 are positioned within the conveyor frame 221 and are movable parallel to the direction of motion of the belt 222. The first Y-axis moving module 232 is mounted on the first X-axis moving module 231 and is slidable between one end and the other end of the first X-axis moving module 231.

[0066] The second moving module 240 includes a second X-axis moving module 241 and a second Y-axis moving module 242. Both ends of the second X-axis moving module 241 are positioned within the conveyor frame 221 and are movable parallel to the direction of motion of the belt 222. The second Y-axis moving module 242 is mounted on the second X-axis moving module 241 and is slidable between one end and the other end of the second X-axis moving module 241. A second ejecting structure 243 is mounted on the second Y-axis moving module 242. The sliding movement of the second X-axis moving module 241 and the second Y-axis moving module 242 drives the second ejecting structure 243 to move along a predetermined path.

[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, the first lifting structure 233 includes a first mounting seat 2331 and a first lifting column 2332. Specifically, the first mounting seat 2331 is arranged on the first Y-axis moving module 232, and the first lifting column 2332 is arranged on the top surface of the first mounting seat 2331. The first lifting column 2332 is used to provide support for the belt 222 and glass located above it.

[0068] In order to reduce the difficulty of program writing, the first pushing structure 233 also includes a first pushing cylinder 2334 and a first pushing circular plate 2333. The first pushing circular plate 2333 is sleeved on the first pushing column 2332. The first pushing cylinder 2334 is arranged at the bottom of the top surface of the first mounting seat 2331. The piston rod of the first pushing cylinder 2334 is connected to the first pushing circular plate 2333.

[0069] Preferably, the piston rod of the first ejection cylinder 2334 is provided with a first flat plate 2335 , and the first flat plate 2335 is provided with a first connecting column 2336 , and the first connecting column 2336 is fixedly connected to the first ejection circular plate 2333 .

[0070] During cutting, the first lifting circular plate 2333 rises to the same height as the top surface of the first lifting column 2332. The first lifting column 2332 moves with the glass cutter assembly 2135 and remains within the boundary of the area where the glass is retained. During glass breaking, the first lifting circular plate 2333 descends, with only the first lifting column 2332 providing support. When the breaking block 2142 presses down, it creates a misaligned space to complete the breaking.

The first driving assembly 4122 is preferably a cylinder, and the first driving assembly 4122 is used to drive the first shielding member 4121 to move from the second position 423 to the first position 424.

[0074] Furthermore, roller structures 4124 are provided at both ends of the first shielding member 4121. The roller structures 4124 allow the first shielding member 4121 to be slidably fixed to the inner wall of the sealed housing 41. During movement, the roller structures 4124 assist the sliding of the first shielding member 4121 and correct the movement direction of the first shielding member 4121. Roller guards 4125 are also provided at both ends of the first shielding member 4121. The roller guards 4125 are positioned outside the roller structures 4124 to reduce damage to the roller structures 4124 from external forces.

The first sealing strip 4123 is located at the lower edge of the glass feed opening and has the same length as the glass feed opening. When the first shielding member 4121 is in the first position 424, which blocks the glass feed opening, the first sealing strip 4123 abuts against the upper edge of the glass feed opening, sealing the gap between the first shielding member 4121 and the glass feed opening, preventing moisture from leaking from within the CNC mechanism.

[0076] The operating channel sealing assembly 411 includes a second driving assembly 4113 and a second shielding member. In this embodiment, the second shielding member is arranged on the top wall of the sealing shell 41. The second shielding member has a third position 422 for shielding the operating channel and a fourth position 421 for exposing the operating channel. The second driving assembly 4113 is preferably a cylinder. The second driving assembly 4113 is used to drive the second shielding member to move from the fourth position 421 to the third position 422.

[0077] Furthermore, the second shielding member is specifically an assembly consisting of a vertical plate 4112 located on the side wall of the sealed housing 41 and a flat plate 4111 located on the top of the sealed housing 41, which are vertically connected. The vertical plate 4112 and the flat plate 4111 form a shielding area that is used to seal the operating channel of the sealed housing 41. A slide structure 4114 is provided at the bottom of the flat plate 4111 to assist in moving the second shielding member from the fourth position 421 to the third position 422.

[0078] The operating channel sealing assembly 411 also includes a guide seat 4117, which is arranged at the top of the sealing shell 41. A guide plane is provided on one side of the guide seat 4117. The flat plate 4111 abuts against the guide plane of the guide seat 4117. The second driving assembly 4113 pushes the flat plate 4111 to move along the guide plane of the guide seat 4117 to prevent the flat plate 4111 from being affected by external forces during movement and deviating from the original track.

[0079] A second sealing strip 4115 is installed at the edge of the operating channel. When the second shielding member moves to the third position 422, the second sealing strip 4115 abuts against the vertical plate 4112 and the flat plate 4111 near the sealed housing 41, preventing moisture from leaking from the CNC mechanism through the gap. A protective retaining groove 4116 is provided at the lower edge of the vertical plate 4112 of the second shielding member, which cooperates with the first sealing strip 4123 to cushion the impact force when the first shielding member 4121 and the second shielding member close together.

[0080] A glass discharge port is provided on a side of the sealed housing 41 away from the feeding side. A blanking robot assembly 50 is located at the glass discharge port. The blanking robot assembly 50 is used to transfer the processed glass to a conveyor belt for the next process.

[0081] The working principle of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0082] The loading unit 10 moves the glass to be processed to the cutting and breaking unit 20 for pre-processing through the cooperation of the first moving arm 12 and the second moving arm 13. The cutting and breaking assembly 210 of the cutting and breaking unit 20 performs special-shaped cutting and breaking of the glass, and then conveys the broken glass through its belt 222, and sends the waste into the waste bin. The loading unit 10 then moves the pre-processed glass to the CNC machining unit 40. The second moving arm 13 of the loading unit 10 directly places the glass on the machining table inside the CNC machining unit 40 through the operating channel of the sealed shell 41. Finally, the CNC machining unit 40 sends the processed glass to the glass discharge port, which is transferred by the unloading robot assembly 50.

[0084] 1. A glass processing production line according to an embodiment of the present invention forms a truss-type manipulator by coordinating the horizontal movement of the first movable arm and the longitudinal movement of the second movable arm on the loading frame, thereby realizing the loading and unloading and transportation of large-sized glass, and performing rapid loading operations without the need for large-scale transfer and rotation, thereby improving transfer efficiency.

[0085] 2. A glass processing production line according to an embodiment of the present invention realizes an integrated structure of cutting and breaking by providing a cutting and breaking unit, reduces pre-processing steps, completes the automation of glass cutting and breaking, and improves processing efficiency.

[0086] 3.

[0087] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
