Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a glass cutting and breaking process, in particular to an automated production process for realizing stable double-sided cutting and breaking of glass. Background Art

[0002] At present, glass is widely used in industry, and in the process of glass processing and application, it is very common to divide a large piece of glass into multiple small pieces. For the above operation of dividing the glass into small pieces, the existing technology often adopts the method of cutting the glass and then breaking it into pieces, that is, a glass cutting machine cuts multiple cracks on the glass plate horizontally and vertically, and then a glass breaking machine breaks the glass plate into multiple glass blocks along the horizontal cracks. However, the existing production lines for glass cutting and breaking generally have relatively single functions, and the operational stability of glass cutting and breaking is poor, and the degree of production automation is also low. Therefore, the processing qualification rate of glass products cannot be effectively guaranteed. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automated production process for realizing double-sided stable cutting and breaking of glass. By designing a group of processing techniques that can realize a high degree of automation from stable input to output of glass, in this complete processing process, the glass goes through double-sided stable cutting, breaking, detection, classification in sequence from input and then is automatically output in a regular manner. In addition, each process can be reasonably and automatically adjusted at any time according to the different final products required, thereby improving the adaptability of different glass products and ensuring the overall qualified rate of the output glass products.

[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An automated production process for achieving stable double-sided cutting and breaking of glass, comprising the following processing steps:

[0006] S1: The double-row roller conveyor line and the unloading Y-axis cooperate to load glass and unload isolation paper and material boxes. The original glass is isolated by isolation paper and stacked in the material box to prevent interference between the original glass during loading and transportation. The full material box stacked with glass is transported from the loading line of the double-row roller conveyor line to the material collection position to wait for material collection. The unloading Y-axis arranged above the double-row roller conveyor line is used to transfer the isolation paper and material box from the loading line of the double-row roller conveyor line to the unloading and unloading output of the unloading line, thereby realizing stable and accurate loading of glass, and at the same time ensuring convenient unloading of material boxes and isolation paper;

[0007] S2: The cutting machine is connected to the double-row roller conveyor line to perform double-sided cutting of the glass. The X-axis conveying arm 1 on the gantry conveyor frame is used to absorb and transport the original glass at the material taking position to the workbench of the cutting machine. After the cutting machine completes the front cutting of the original glass, the X-axis conveying arm 2 on the gantry conveyor frame is used to absorb and transport the cut glass on the workbench of the cutting machine to the flipping platform. The flipping platform is used to flip the received glass. The X-axis conveying arm 3 on the gantry conveyor frame is used to absorb and transport the flipped glass on the flipping platform to the workbench of the second cutting cutting machine. The second cutting cutting machine completes the reverse cutting of the received glass corresponding to the front score. After the second cutting cutting machine completes the cutting, the gantry conveyor frame The X-axis conveying arm 4 on the transport frame is used to absorb and convey the glass on the workbench of the second-cutting cutting machine to the transfer workbench 1 of the tablet breaking machine part. Since a cutting machine connection line is added between the double-row roller conveyor line and the tablet breaking machine part, that is, the original large piece of glass is pre-cut on both sides to produce cracks before tablet breaking, which can facilitate the stable tablet breaking effect in the later stage and ensure the qualified rate of tablet breaking. In addition, the X-axis conveying arm 1, X-axis conveying arm 2, X-axis conveying arm 3 and X-axis conveying arm 4 crossing the first cutting machine, the flip platform and the second-cutting cutting machine can realize the transition between the first cutting machine, the flip platform, the second-cutting cutting machine and the double-row roller conveyor line and the tablet breaking machine part, which also makes the transition efficiency and production efficiency of the processing technology higher;

[0009] Preferably, in the above S3, the transfer table 1 is the intermediate transition part between cutting and breaking, and after the cut glass is stably transported from the two-cutting cutting machine worktable to the transfer table, in order to facilitate the subsequent breaking operation, the glass is placed on the vacuum adsorption plate of the transfer table 1, and is rotated and positioned with the transfer table 1 under the drive of the bottom electric turntable, the electric turntable is installed on the transfer slide, and the transfer slide is driven by the transfer linear module 1 from the receiving position close to the two-cutting cutting machine to the large-piece breaking position close to the six-axis manipulator 1. After the pressing cleaning group 1 above the transfer table 1 cleans the transfer table 1 and the glass surface with a brush and presses, the long strip adsorption component of the six-axis manipulator 1 adsorbs the glass to simulate the manual breaking action to complete the breaking operation. This long strip adsorption component is an existing glass adsorption component, and the six-axis The machine also uses a robot in the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here. It assists in completing the splitting and breaking of different angles through the rotation of the transfer workbench one, and then the six-axis robot two absorbs the broken glass and transports it to the transfer workbench two. Driven by the transfer linear module two, the transfer workbench two moves linearly from the transfer position close to the transfer workbench one to the small piece breaking position close to the six-axis robot two. After the pressing cleaning group two above the transfer workbench two cleans the transfer workbench two and the glass surface with a brush and presses the long adsorption component of the six-axis robot two to absorb the glass to simulate the human hand breaking action to complete the breaking operation, the glass divided into small pieces is transferred to the bait removal mechanism by the six-axis robot two to complete the bait breaking operation, and after the bait breaking operation is completed, it is transferred to the bait detection platform by the six-axis robot two, and the classification rules are output after the edge inspection and appearance inspection are completed.

[0010] Preferably, the loading line and the unloading line are connected side by side, and a transition roller group 1 for receiving a transition material box is fixed therebetween. Both the loading line and the unloading line are roller conveyor lines, and a limit stop bar 1 for preventing the material box from moving forward, a limit stop bar 2 and a limit stop bar 3 for limiting the position on both sides of the material box, and a transition roller group 2 for lifting the material box to take the material position are also provided at the material taking position of the loading line.

The two groups of sliders are driven by the Y-axis flipping linear module to reciprocate linearly between the flipping position and the docking position. The lower adsorption platform is located at the docking position, and its bottom side is connected to the docking lifting cylinder. The upper adsorption platform receives the glass after the front cutting is completed, and when it moves to the flipping position and flips and then returns to the docking position again, the lower adsorption platform is lifted by the docking lifting cylinder to vacuum adsorb and position the upper glass, thereby completing the flipping and docking of the glass between the upper adsorption platform and the lower adsorption platform. The overall flipping and docking method is more efficient and has better docking reliability.

[0013] Preferably, a cleaning brush for cleaning the lower adsorption platform below is installed at one end of the upper adsorption platform, so that the platform can be cleaned before adsorption to ensure the reliability of adsorption.

The glass at the side discharge position is photographed and inspected, and the transition handling group also includes a transition linear module 2 installed on the transition bracket and a suction gripper 2 driven by the transition linear module 2 for linear motion. The suction gripper 2 is used to adsorb the glass at the side discharge position and transfer it linearly to the flip adsorption plate of the flip mechanism for adsorption and fixation under the drive of the transition linear module 2.

[0018] Preferably, in order to ensure that the glass can be positioned more accurately on the transfer workbench one, an interference circle is provided around the transfer workbench one.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. By designing a set of processing techniques that can achieve a high degree of automation from stable input to output of glass, in this complete processing process, the glass is input and sequentially cut, broken, tested, and classified, and then regularly and automatically output. In addition, each process can be reasonably and automatically adjusted at any time according to the different final products required, thereby improving the adaptability of different glass products and ensuring the overall qualified rate of the output glass products;

[0021] 2 In the processing process of the present invention, the processing efficiency of glass cutting and breaking detection can be higher. The front and back double-sided cutting can facilitate better breaking of thicker glass, thereby reducing the risk of breaking damage. When the flipping operation is performed between the two sets of cutting machines, the upper adsorption platform and the lower adsorption platform are connected and adsorbed and converted, so the flipping stability is also better.

Not only is the structure relatively simple, but the effect of preventing debris residue is also better;

[0022] 3 Since the material box is heavy and has an uneven surface, while the isolation paper is light, although the adsorption method can achieve easy unloading of the isolation paper, it cannot afford the unloading of the material box. Therefore, different unloading equipment is required for the isolation paper and the material box. However, in order not to take up too much space, the equipment used for unloading the material box is compatible with the equipment used for unloading the isolation paper and the conveying equipment, thereby greatly saving the space occupied by the overall equipment.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1-13 As shown, an automated production process for achieving stable double-sided cutting and breaking of glass sheets, in this embodiment, includes the following processing steps:

[0040] S1: The double-row roller conveyor line and the unloading Y-axis cooperate to load glass and unload isolation paper and material boxes. The original glass is isolated by isolation paper and stacked in the material box to prevent interference between the original glass during loading and transportation. The full material box stacked with glass is transported from the loading line 1 of the double-row roller conveyor line to the material collection position to wait for material collection. The unloading Y-axis arranged above the double-row roller conveyor line is used to transfer the isolation paper and material box from the loading line 1 of the double-row roller conveyor line to the unloading line 2 for loading and unloading, thereby realizing stable and accurate loading of glass, and at the same time ensuring convenient unloading of material boxes and isolation paper;

After the second cutting cutting machine 5 completes the cutting, the gantry conveying The X-axis conveying arm 29 on the frame 3 is used to absorb and convey the glass on the workbench of the second-cutting cutting machine 5 to the transfer workbench 10 of the tablet breaking machine part. Since a cutting machine connection line is added between the double-row roller conveyor line and the tablet breaking machine part, that is, the original large glass is pre-cut on both sides to produce cracks before tablet breaking, which can facilitate the stable tablet breaking effect in the later stage and ensure the qualified rate of tablet breaking. In addition, the X-axis conveying arm 16, X-axis conveying arm 27, X-axis conveying arm 38 and X-axis conveying arm 49 crossing the first cutting machine 4, the turning platform and the second-cutting cutting machine 5 can realize the transition between the first cutting machine 4, the turning platform, the second-cutting cutting machine 5 and the double-row roller conveyor line and the tablet breaking machine part, which also makes the transition efficiency and production efficiency of the processing technology higher;

[0042] S3: The breaking machine part undertakes the breaking, bait breaking, testing and outputting of the glass after double-sided cutting by the cutting machine. The transfer workbench 10 is the intermediate transition part between cutting and breaking, and after the cut glass is stably transported from the second cutting machine 5 workbench to the transfer workbench, it is convenient for further subsequent breaking operations. The glass is placed on the vacuum adsorption plate of the transfer workbench 10, and rotates and positions with the transfer workbench 10 under the drive of the bottom electric turntable 11. The electric turntable 11 is installed on the transfer workbench. On the slide 12, the transfer slide 12 is driven by the transfer linear module 13 from the receiving position 14 close to the second cutting machine 5 to the large piece breaking position 15 close to the six-axis manipulator 1. After the pressing cleaning group 17 above the transfer workbench 10 cleans the transfer workbench 10 and the glass surface with a brush and presses, the long strip adsorption component of the six-axis manipulator 1 adsorbs the glass to simulate the human hand breaking action to complete the breaking operation. This long strip adsorption component is an existing glass adsorption component, and the six-axis machine also adopts the existing technology The robot in the transfer table 10 is not described in detail here, and the six-axis robot 2 absorbs the broken glass and moves it to the transfer table 19.

The pressing cleaning group 23 above the transfer table 19 cleans the transfer table 19 and the glass surface with a brush. After the pressing operation, the long adsorption component of the six-axis manipulator 2 adsorbs the glass to simulate the human hand breaking action to complete the breaking operation, and the glass divided into small pieces is transferred by the six-axis manipulator 2 to the bait removal mechanism 24 to complete the bait breaking operation, and after the bait breaking operation is completed, it is transferred to the bait detection platform 25 by the six-axis manipulator 2, and after completing the edge inspection and appearance inspection, the classification rules are output.

After the material box is transported from the loading line 1 to the material taking position and is blocked by the limit stop bar 27 fixed at the front end of the loading line 1, the limit stop bar 28 passes through The connecting rod 31 arranged between the rollers of the feeding line 1 is connected to the linear module 1 located below the feeding line 1, and under the drive of the linear module 1, the material box is driven by the limit stop bar 28 to slide toward the limit stop bar 3 29 fixed on the side of the unloading position until the material box is clamped and limited by the limit stop bar 28 and the limit stop bar 3 29, so as to realize the precise positioning transfer of the glass in the subsequent steps.

Therefore, after the two groups of long strips 54 relatively clamp the glass bait segment, they can be compatible with products of different sizes in conjunction with the six-axis robot 2.

[0051] A bait detection camera 56 for detecting the glass end side is arranged at one end and the side of the bait detection platform 25.

The glass at the patrol discharging position is photographed and inspected, and the transition handling group also includes a transition linear module 65 installed on the transition bracket and an adsorption gripper 66 driven by the transition linear module 65 for linear motion. The adsorption gripper 66 is used to adsorb the glass at the patrol discharging position and transfer it linearly to the flip adsorption plate 67 of the flip mechanism for adsorption and fixation under the drive of the transition linear module 65. The flip adsorption plate 67 is flipped to the appearance inspection platform 69 under the drive of the rotating motor 68. The appearance inspection platform 69 moves to the output position under the drive of the appearance linear module, and is adsorbed by the unloading clamp on the output position and transferred to the NG conveyor line or the unloading conveyor line, thereby completing the effect of the glass being input, and then undergoing double-sided stable cutting, breaking, inspection, classification, and then regular automatic output.

[0052] In order to ensure that the glass can be positioned more accurately on the transfer workbench 10 , an interference ring 70 is provided around the transfer workbench 10 .

[0053] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0054] 1. By designing a set of processing techniques that can achieve a high degree of automation from stable input to output of glass, in this complete processing process, the glass is input and sequentially cut, broken, tested, and classified, and then regularly and automatically output. In addition, each process can be reasonably and automatically adjusted at any time according to the different final products required, thereby improving the adaptability of different glass products and ensuring the overall qualified rate of the output glass products;

[0055] 2 In the processing process of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a higher processing efficiency of glass cutting and breaking detection. Through the front and back double-sided cutting, thicker glass can be better broken, thereby reducing the risk of breaking damage. When the flipping operation is performed between the two sets of cutting machines, the upper adsorption platform 37 and the lower adsorption platform 38 are connected and adsorbed and converted, so the flipping stability is also better. The cleaning brush 1 43, the cleaning brush 2 44, the cleaning brush 3 45, and the cleaning brush 4 53 are compatible with the equipment, and can be cleaned in time during transportation or the process, without the need for a separate cleaning device. Not only is the structure relatively simple, but the effect of preventing debris residue is also better;

[0056] 3 Since the material box is heavy and has an uneven surface, while the isolation paper is light, although the adsorption method can achieve easy unloading of the isolation paper, it cannot afford the unloading of the material box. Therefore, different unloading equipment is required for the isolation paper and the material box. However, in order not to take up too much space, the equipment used for unloading the material box is compatible with the equipment used for unloading the isolation paper and the conveying equipment, thereby greatly saving the space occupied by the overall equipment.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
