Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to an automated edge grinding machine for glass after cutting. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material widely used in various fields. When mass-producing glass products of specific shapes and structures, it is generally necessary to cut large-sized glass. After cutting, an edge grinding machine is used to grind the glass cut edges to make them smoother. Some dining table turntables use a circular glass structure. To facilitate the installation of the circular glass, a circular groove is cut at the center of the circular glass, thus forming a ring structure.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent application number CN107932248A discloses a glass edging machine. The process of its use is as follows: first, the cut circular glass is placed horizontally on the fastening mechanism, and the position of the glass is adjusted so that the center of the two coincides. Then, the fastening mechanism drives the glass to rotate in the horizontal direction, and the moving wall drives the edging wheel to swing horizontally, so that the edging wheel contacts the cut edge on the periphery of the circular glass. The edging process is completed by the rotation of the edging wheel.

[0004] When using the aforementioned glass edging machine to edge circular glass, both the inner and outer rings of the circular glass require edging. However, the edging wheels on these machines are designed for single-sided grinding, and their oscillation range is small. For circular glass with a large distance between the inner and outer rings, it's impossible to adjust the oscillation amplitude of the edging wheels to accommodate the inner ring. Often, two different types of edging machines are used to edge the inner and outer rings separately, making the operation cumbersome, increasing the workload for workers, and raising processing costs. Furthermore, after edging, residual dust on the circular glass needs to be cleaned. Therefore, during edging, the circular glass needs to be manually transferred multiple times between two edging machines and a dust removal machine. The entire process is relatively complex, cannot be continuous, and is slow. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an automated edge grinding machine for glass cutting, which solves the problem of the relatively cumbersome edge grinding process for circular glass.

Rotating gears are fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor and the outer side of the first electric push rod, and the two rotating gears mesh with each other. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to an edge grinding head located in the middle of the inside of the machine body.

[0010] Preferably, the grinding head includes a rotating plate, and two sets of sliding grooves are formed in the middle of the rotating plate on the side away from the first electric push rod. Each set includes two sliding grooves arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom, and one set of sliding grooves is located between the other set of sliding grooves. Grinding roller sets perpendicular to the rotating plate are slidably installed on both sets of sliding grooves. Each grinding roller set consists of two grinding rollers arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom. An elastic element is fixedly connected between the grinding roller and the sliding groove. An electromagnet is fixedly installed on the side of the grinding roller opposite to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting component includes a U-shaped fixed seat, which is fixedly installed in the machine body. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the horizontal section of the fixed seat. A sliding seat is slidably installed between two vertical sections of the fixed seat at the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder. A second electric push rod is horizontally fixedly installed on the sliding seat. A suction cup device for adsorbing and fixing the glass is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the second electric push rod.

[0012] Preferably, the support component includes an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket and a rolling contact member disposed on the side of the machine body. The rolling contact member consists of two roller groups symmetrically distributed around the mounting bracket. Each roller group consists of multiple vertically arranged rollers. The upper ends of the two vertical sections of the mounting bracket are slidably connected to two limiting rods on the outside of the machine body, respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the stabilizing structure further includes an adjusting component for adjusting the distance between the two mounting brackets. The adjusting component includes a rotating motor, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner sidewall of the device compartment.

[0015] Preferably, the air dryer is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side wall of the machine body, and the air outlet of the air dryer faces vertically downward.

[0016] Compared with related technologies, the automated glass edging machine provided in this embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) By setting a conveyor, an edge grinding structure, a stabilizing structure, a cleaning structure and a drying machine on the machine body, a system for continuous and automated edge grinding of circular glass is formed. It can perform flow-line edge grinding of circular glass. By using the cooperation between the conveyor, the pad and the stabilizing structure, the circular glass moves inside the machine body and passes through the edge grinding structure, the cleaning structure and the drying machine in sequence. The circular glass can be continuously and automatically edged on the inner and outer rings, cleaned of dust and dried on the same machine. It simplifies the edge grinding operation steps, greatly speeds up the edge grinding speed and is better suited to the needs of large-volume edge grinding of circular glass.

[0018] (2) By setting up the edge grinding structure, it can be used to simultaneously grind the inner and outer rings of vertically placed circular glass. In the actual edge grinding process, only one edge grinding process is needed for the circular glass, which reduces the workload of the staff. By using the edge grinding component in conjunction with the lifting component, the circular glass can be transferred from the conveyor to the corresponding edge grinding position for edge grinding. After the edge grinding is completed, the circular glass is transferred back to the conveyor, realizing the function of continuous automatic edge grinding of the circular glass on the conveyor. No manual operation is required during the edge grinding process, and the waiting time of the edge grinding structure is shortened. The edge grinding speed is faster and it is more convenient to use.

[0019] (3) By using the support components and adjustment components together, the circular glass can be stably supported, so that the circular glass can stably follow the conveyor and move inside the machine body, thereby completing various processing operations in sequence. The distance between the two roller groups can be adjusted according to the thickness of the circular glass to ensure effective contact between the roller groups and the side of the circular glass, further improving the flexibility of the stable structure and meeting the stable support requirements of circular glass of different thicknesses.

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, to ensure clarity and convenience, we may exaggerate the width of lines or the size of constituent elements in the drawings.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms used below are defined based on the functions of this invention and may vary depending on the user's intent or convention; therefore, these terms are defined based on the entire contents of this specification.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 An automated glass edging machine after cutting includes: a machine body 1 and a conveyor 2 for linearly conveying glass. The machine body 1 has a feeding port and a discharging port at both ends. The conveyor 2 is located at the lower end inside the machine body 1. Multiple pads 5 are evenly arranged on the conveyor 2 to vertically place annular glass 8 on the conveyor 2. Each pad 5 is composed of two symmetrical rubber blocks. An arc groove is provided at the upper end of the rubber block. When placing the annular glass 8, the lower end of the annular glass 8 is attached to the upper end of the two rubber blocks respectively. Under the support of the two rubber blocks, the annular glass can maintain a temporarily stable vertical state, thereby allowing the annular glass to move into the machine body 1 with the conveyor 2.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The machine body 1 is provided with an edge grinding structure 3. The edge grinding structure 3 includes an edge grinding component 31 for simultaneously grinding the inner and outer rings of the glass and a lifting component 32 for lifting the glass to the grinding position of the edge grinding component 31. The lifting component 32 and the edge grinding component 31 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the machine body 1. During edge grinding, the annular glass 8 is conveyed to the space between the edge grinding component 31 and the lifting component 32 by the conveyor 2. Then, the lifting component 32 contacts the annular glass 8, causing the annular glass 8 to move upward and separate from the conveyor 2 until it moves to the height matching the edge grinding component 31.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The machine body 1 is provided with a stabilizing structure 4 for providing auxiliary support for the glass. The stabilizing structure 4 includes two support components 41 symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the machine body 1. When the annular glass 8 moves with the conveyor 2, its two sides contact the support components 41, so that the annular glass 8 remains vertically stable and will not tilt during the movement.

[0035] Please see Figure 7 Inside the machine body 1, near the edge grinding structure 3, there is a cleaning structure 6 for cleaning the glass after edge grinding. The cleaning structure 6 washes the passing annular glass 8, which can wash off the dust on the surface of the annular glass 8, eliminating the need for subsequent cleaning operations. Inside the machine body 1, between the cleaning structure 6 and the discharge port, there is a drying machine 7 for drying the cleaned glass. After rinsing the annular glass 8, the hot air blown out by the drying machine 7 quickly dries the annular glass 8, making it easier to stack the annular glass 8 in the future.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8The edge grinding component 31 includes a device compartment 315, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the machine body 1. The upper end of the device compartment 315 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body 1, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the side of the machine body 1. A drive motor 311 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vertical section of the device compartment 315. A first electric push rod 312 is horizontally rotatably installed on the inner wall of the vertical section of the device compartment 315, directly below the drive motor 311 and rotatably facing the machine body 1. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 312 extends from the outer side of the machine body 1 to the middle position inside it. The output end of the drive motor 311 and the first electric push rod 312 are connected to the inner wall of the machine body 1. Rotating gears 313 are fixedly installed on the outer side of 12, and the two rotating gears 313 mesh with each other. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 312 is fixedly connected to the grinding head 314 located in the middle of the inside of the machine body 1. The diameter of the rotating gear 313 on the first electric push rod 312 is larger than the diameter of the rotating gear 313 on the drive motor 311, so that when the drive motor 311 rotates, the two rotating gears 313 rotate synchronously and differentially, which drives the first electric push rod 312 and the grinding head 314 to rotate slowly, so that the grinding head 314 can fully contact the periphery of the annular glass 8 and better grind its periphery.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 9The edge-grinding head 314 includes a vertically arranged rotating plate 3141. Two sets of sliding grooves are formed in the middle of the rotating plate 3141 on the side away from the first electric push rod 312. Each set includes two vertically symmetrically arranged sliding grooves, with one set located between the other set. Edge-grinding roller sets 3142, perpendicular to the rotating plate 3141, are slidably mounted on both sets of sliding grooves. The two edge-grinding roller sets 3142 are used to grind the inner and outer rings of the annular glass, respectively. Each edge-grinding roller set 3142 consists of two vertically symmetrical edge-grinding rollers. An elastic element 3143, which can be a spring, is fixedly connected between the grooves. Electromagnets 3144 are fixedly installed on the side of the grinding roller opposite to the inner wall of the groove. When two electromagnets 3144 in the same groove are energized, their magnetic poles are opposite, thus generating a vertical attraction. This causes the two grinding rollers in the outer groove to move closer together, while the two grinding rollers in the inner groove move away simultaneously. This achieves the function of adjusting the distance between the two sets of grinding rollers to accommodate annular glass 8 of different diameters. It should be noted that the initial spacing between the two grinding rollers for the inner ring is the smallest, while the initial spacing between the two grinding rollers for the outer ring is the largest. This ensures that when the rotating plate 3141 approaches the annular glass 8, the two grinding roller sets 3142 can smoothly pass through the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8. Then, by controlling the energization of the corresponding electromagnets 3144, the two outer grinding rollers move closer together, while the two inner grinding rollers move further apart, ultimately contacting the outer and inner rings of the annular glass 8 respectively. Simultaneously, in the... Once the distance between the two grinding rollers is adjusted, and the size of the annular glass remains unchanged, there is no need to adjust the two grinding rollers again. In addition, the minimum diameter of the inner ring of the processed annular glass 8 must be greater than the minimum distance between the two inner ring grinding rollers, and the maximum diameter of the inner ring must be less than the maximum distance between the two inner ring grinding rollers. The maximum diameter of the outer ring must be less than the maximum distance between the two outer ring grinding rollers, and the minimum diameter of the outer ring must be greater than the minimum distance between the two outer ring grinding rollers, so that the grinding head 314 can effectively grind the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8.A shrinkage groove adapted to the rotating plate 3141 is provided on the inner wall of the machine body 1 near the rotating plate 3141. When the grinding head 314 is in a non-grinding state, it is retracted by the first electric push rod 312, which can drive the rotating plate 3141 and the grinding roller group 3142 to retract into the device chamber 315 through the shrinkage groove, so as to avoid obstructing the movement of the annular glass 8. After the annular glass 8 moves to the corresponding position of the rotating plate 3141, the lifting component 32 first lifts the annular glass 8 to the position of the rotating plate 3141. At the center overlap position, the first electric push rod 312 drives the rotating plate 3141 and the edge-grinding roller group 3142 to approach the annular glass 8, ultimately causing the two edge-grinding roller groups 3142 to contact the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8 respectively. Then, by starting the drive motor 311, the two rotating gears 313 can be rotated, causing the first electric push rod 312 to drive the rotating plate 3141 and the two edge-grinding rollers 3142 to rotate synchronously, thus performing synchronous edge-grinding processing on the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7The lifting component 32 includes a U-shaped fixed base 321, which is fixedly installed inside the machine body 1. A hydraulic cylinder 322 is fixedly installed on the horizontal section of the fixed base 321. A sliding seat 323, which is slidably installed between two vertical sections of the fixed base 321, is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 322. A second electric push rod 324 is horizontally fixedly installed on the sliding seat 323. A suction cup device 325 for adsorbing and fixing glass is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 324. Three suction cup heads are evenly arranged on the suction cup device 325. The annular glass 8 is in side contact, allowing it to be adsorbed and fixed in place. Before lifting the annular glass 8, the height of the suction cup device 325 needs to be adjusted according to the size of the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8, completing the first adjustment operation of the suction cup device 325. To ensure that the suction cup device 325 can effectively adsorb the annular glass 8, the diameter of the inner ring of the annular glass 8 is smaller than the length from the suction cup head to the center of the suction cup device 325. If the size of the annular glass 8 changes subsequently, the height of the suction cup device 325 will be adjusted accordingly. The adjustment should be made, and then the suction cup device 325 should be driven by the second electric push rod 324 to move closer to the center of the machine body 1, so that when the annular glass 8 passes the position of the suction cup device 325, the side of the annular glass 8 can just fit against the suction cup head on the suction cup device 325. At this time, the suction cup device 325 is activated, so that the three suction cup heads generate suction force at the same time, which can fix the annular glass 8 to the suction cup device 325. When adsorbing the next annular glass 8, the horizontal position of the suction cup device 325 also needs to be adjusted. Then, the hydraulic pressure is used... The cylinder 322 drives the sliding seat 323 and the second electric push rod 324 to move upward synchronously, while the suction cup device 325 and the annular glass 8 also move upward together until the annular glass 8 moves to the position where it coincides with the center of the rotating plate 3141. After the edge grinding is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 322 is controlled to retract, so that the suction cup device 325 moves down to the height position of the first adjustment, so that the lower end of the annular glass 8 contacts the pad block 5. The suction cup device 325 is then turned off, so that it no longer exerts suction on the annular glass 8, allowing the annular glass 8 to continue to move with the conveyor 2.

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 5The support component 41 includes an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket 411 and a rolling contact component 412 disposed on the side of the body 1. The rolling contact component 412 consists of two roller groups symmetrically distributed around the mounting bracket 411. Each roller group consists of multiple vertically arranged rollers. The two roller groups on the two support components 41 form a support structure that supports the side of the annular glass 8. The lower ends of the two vertical sections of the mounting bracket 411 extend from the outside of the body 1 into the inside of the body 1 and are fixedly connected to one side of the two roller groups respectively. The mounting bracket 411 can slide horizontally on the side of the body 1 and drive the two roller groups to move synchronously. The upper ends of the two vertical sections of the mounting bracket 411 are slidably connected to two limiting rods 413 on the outside of the body 1 respectively. By setting the limiting rods 413, the connection stability between the upper end of the vertical section of the mounting bracket 411 and the side of the body 1 can be further increased, so that the mounting bracket 411 can slide horizontally stably on the body 1. The structure 4 also includes an adjusting component 42 for adjusting the distance between the mounting brackets 411 in the two supporting components 41. The adjusting component 42 includes a rotating motor 421, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner wall of the device compartment 315. The output end of the rotating motor 421 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 422 along the width direction of the machine body 1. The end of the threaded rod 422 away from the rotating motor 421 passes through the upper end of the device compartment 315. The two ends of the threaded rod 422 are respectively threaded to the middle of the horizontal section of the two mounting brackets 411. The two ends of the threaded rod 422 are provided with threaded grooves with opposite threads, which are adapted to the horizontal section of the two mounting brackets 411 respectively. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two mounting brackets 411, the rotating motor 421 rotates, which causes the threaded rod 422 to drive the two mounting brackets 411 to move synchronously towards each other. The roller group moves with the mounting brackets 411, thereby causing the distance between the two supporting structures to change synchronously to accommodate the annular glass 8 of different thicknesses.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 The cleaning structure 6 includes a water tank 61 and a water spray component 62 fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1. The water spray component 62 is vertically fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the machine body 1. The water spray component 62 is connected to the water tank 61 through a pipe. Multiple water spray heads are evenly arranged on the side of the water spray component 62 near the lifting component 32. The water spray component 62 is arranged along the height direction of the machine body 1 and can wash the passing annular glass 8. Drainage holes are provided on the surface of the conveyor 2 and a drainage trough is provided at the bottom of the machine body 1. The water after washing flows into the drainage trough through the drainage holes and is finally discharged outwards to wash away the dust left on the surface during edge grinding. The air dryer 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the machine body 1. The air outlet of the air dryer 7 is vertically downward to dry the washed annular glass 8.

[0041] The working principle of the automated edge grinding machine after glass cutting provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Step 1: When grinding the edge of the annular glass 8, the spacing of the edge grinding roller group 3142, the height of the suction cup device 325 and the spacing of the two mounting brackets 411 are adjusted according to the size and thickness of the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8.

[0042] Step 2: After adjustment, the annular glass 8 is placed vertically on the pad 5 of the conveyor 2 through the feed port. In order to prevent the annular glass 8 from tilting during its entry into the machine body 1, the annular glass 8 needs to be supported by hand until it makes smooth contact with the roller group. At this time, under the support of the two opposing roller groups, the annular glass 8 can move stably with the conveyor 2 inside the machine body 1.

[0043] Step 3: When the annular glass 8 moves to the position corresponding to the edge grinding structure 3, the conveyor 2 stops running. First, the lifting component 32 fixes the annular glass 8 and lifts it to the position corresponding to the edge grinding component 31. Then, the edge grinding component 31 starts to grind the inner and outer rings of the annular glass 8 simultaneously. After the edge grinding is completed, the lifting component 32 transfers the annular glass 8 to the conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 starts running and drives the annular glass 8 to continue moving.

[0044] Step 4: When the annular glass 8 moves to the position of the cleaning structure 6, it comes into contact with the two opposing roller groups at the other end. At the same time, the cleaning structure 6 sprays water on both sides of the annular glass 8 to wash off the dust remaining on its surface. Then, the annular glass 8 continues to move to the position below the dryer 7. The dryer 7 blows hot air onto the annular glass 8 to dry it quickly. After drying, the annular glass 8 finally moves with the conveyor 2 to the discharge port position, where it is then manually unloaded and stacked.

[0045] The circuits and control methods involved in this invention are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
