Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass substrate manufacturing technology, and in particular to a feeding device for laser cutting of glass substrates. Background Technology

[0002] Because laser cutting produces less dust and debris, results in a smooth surface, and requires fewer post-processing steps, it has become widely used in the industrial application of hard materials such as glass. Laser cutting began in the last century, initially for cutting non-penetrating grooves in hardwood boards and embedding blades. With the development of industrial technology, it is now widely used in various metal and non-metal cutting fields. In traditional glass cutting, manual loading is required, resulting in high workload for operators, low loading efficiency, and a high scrap rate.

[0003] In existing laser cutting feeding equipment, such as Chinese Patent No. CN115043585A, a feeding mechanism for laser cutting equipment is disclosed. Specifically, a connecting rod is vertically installed at one end of the laser cutting machine, and a positioning frame is installed on one side of the top of the laser cutting machine. Two fastening components are symmetrically arranged inside the positioning frame. A mounting plate connected to the side wall of the laser cutting machine is installed at the bottom of one side of the connecting rod, and a push rod connected at one end to the side wall of the positioning frame is connected to the top of one side. A push component is connected to the center of one side of the mounting plate, and the output end of the push component is connected to the side wall of the connecting rod. The workpiece is placed inside the positioning frame, and the position of the workpiece is positioned by the fastening components. Then, the push component is activated to move the connecting rod and the push rod, thereby moving the positioning frame and the workpiece until the workpiece is located at the bottom of the cutting component.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies can achieve the function of laser cutting by loading workpieces, firstly, when placing the workpiece inside the positioning frame, only one workpiece can be placed manually at a time, which cannot achieve the function of loading one workpiece at a time. This not only increases the workload of workers but also affects production efficiency. Secondly, when laser cutting workpieces, the aforementioned existing technologies cannot separate finished products from waste materials, which may cause finished products and waste materials to fall off at the same time. Based on this, there is still room for improvement in the existing technology of loading mechanisms for laser cutting equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The invention includes a feeding unit. As the glass substrate rotates to the rightmost end, the ejector pin squeezes the waste material, causing the waste material to break away from the finished product. Then the waste material falls completely from the receiving groove, causing the finished product and waste material in the glass substrate to fall out in sequence, thus achieving the function of separating the finished product and waste material.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a feeding device for laser cutting of glass substrates, which can accurately realize the functions of automatic feeding of glass substrates, laser cutting, and separation of finished products and waste materials.

[0034] Reference Figure 1As shown, a feeding device for laser cutting of glass substrates includes a housing 1, a feeding module 2, a laser cutting module 3, and a rotary unloading module 4. The housing 1 has an H-shaped cross-section. The feeding module 2 is installed on the left side of the middle part of the housing 1, the rotary unloading module 4 is installed on the right side of the middle part of the housing 1, and the laser cutting module 3 is installed on the upper right side of the housing 1.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the feeding module 2 includes a storage unit 21 and a feeding unit 22. The storage unit 21 is installed on the left side of the middle part of the outer shell 1. Rectangular grooves are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the middle part of the outer shell 1, and the feeding unit 22 is installed between the two rectangular grooves.

[0036] In actual use, multiple glass substrates are manually placed into the storage unit 21. Then, the loading unit 22 moves to the left. When the loading unit 22 is in close contact with the glass substrate, the loading unit 22 adsorbs and fixes the glass substrate. After that, the loading unit 22 drives the glass substrate to move to the right and rotates 180°. When the glass substrate enters the rotating unloading module 4, the loading unit 22 closes, and the rotating unloading module 4 adsorbs and fixes the glass substrate.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the storage unit 21 includes a storage rack 211, a push plate 212, a push spring 213, and a limiting pin 214. The storage rack 211 is bolted to the left side of the middle part of the outer shell 1. The storage rack 211 has a U-shaped cross-section. The push plate 212 is provided on the left side of the middle part of the storage rack 211. Push springs 213 are evenly installed between the push plate 212 and the storage rack 211. Limiting pins 214 are symmetrically arranged on the right side inside the storage rack 211. The limiting pins 214 are telescopic structures.

[0038] In actual use, multiple glass substrates are manually placed in the storage rack 211. At this time, the push spring is in a compressed state, and the limiting pin 214 can block the glass substrates, thus limiting their position. When the feeding unit 22 moves the rightmost glass substrate to the right, the glass substrate squeezes the limiting pin 214, causing the limiting pin 214 to retract. When the rightmost glass substrate is completely separated from the limiting pin 214, the limiting pin 214 quickly returns to its original position. At the same time, the push spring 213 pushes the push plate 212 to the right until the next glass substrate is blocked by the limiting pin 214. After all the glass substrates in the storage rack 211 have been processed, the storage rack 211 can be refilled, achieving the purpose of feeding glass substrates one by one. This not only reduces the workload of workers but also improves production efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 5As shown, the feeding unit 22 includes an electric slider 221, a connecting block 222, a connecting rod 223, an adsorption rack 224, a gear 225, and a rack plate 226. The electric slider 221 is installed at the lower end of the rectangular groove, the connecting block 222 is installed at the upper end of the electric slider 221, the connecting rod 223 is installed between the two connecting blocks 222, the adsorption rack 224 is symmetrically arranged in the middle of the connecting rod 223, the gear 225 is installed at both ends of the connecting rod 223, and the rack plate 226 that cooperates with the gear 225 is installed at the lower end of the rectangular groove.

[0040] In actual use, the electric slider 221 drives the adsorption frame 224 to move to the left. When the adsorption frame 224 is in contact with the surface of the glass substrate, the adsorption frame 224 is energized and adsorbs and fixes the glass substrate. Then, the adsorption frame 224 drives the rightmost glass substrate to move to the right. During the rightward movement of the adsorption frame 224, the gear 225 on the connecting rod 223 meshes with the rack plate 226, causing the connecting rod 223 to rotate 180°. The adsorption frame 224 drives the glass substrate to rotate 180° accordingly. When the glass substrate moves into the rotary unloading module 4, the adsorption frame 224 is de-energized, and the rotary unloading module 4 adsorbs and fixes the glass substrate. Then, the rotary unloading module 4 drives the glass substrate to rotate intermittently.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the laser cutting module 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a longitudinal moving frame 32, a transverse moving frame 33, and a laser cutting head 34. The mounting plate 31 is installed on the upper right side of the outer shell 1, the longitudinal moving frame 32 is installed on the lower end of the mounting plate 31, the transverse moving frame 33 is installed on the lower end of the longitudinal moving frame 32, and the laser cutting head 34 is installed on the lower end of the transverse moving frame 33.

[0042] In actual use, when the rotating unloading module 4 drives the glass substrate to rotate to the top, the rotating unloading module 4 stops rotating. At this time, the glass substrate is in a horizontal position, and the laser cutting head 34 performs laser cutting on the glass substrate below.

[0043] It should be noted that the longitudinal frame 32 can move longitudinally, and the transverse frame 33 can move laterally, so that the laser cutting head 34 can move arbitrarily in the plane.

[0044] Reference Figure 6As shown, the rotary unloading module 4 includes a rotating frame 41, a fixed rod 42, a drive motor 43, a positioning unit 44, an adsorption unit 45, and an unloading unit 46. The rotating frame 41 is located on the right side of the middle of the outer casing 1. The rotating frame 41 is a hollow structure. The fixed rod 42 is mounted inside the rotating frame 41 via bearings. The fixed rod 42 passes through the interior of the rotating frame 41. The front end of the fixed rod 42 is mounted on the inner wall of the outer casing 1, and the rear end of the rotating frame 41 is mounted on the outer casing 1 via bearings. A drive motor is mounted on the rear side of the outer casing 1 via a motor mount. The output shaft of the drive motor 43 is connected to the rotating frame 41. The outer side of the rotating frame 41 is evenly provided with receiving grooves. The receiving grooves have an L-shaped cross-section. Positioning units 44 are installed at both ends of the receiving grooves. An adsorption groove is provided on the rotating frame 41 inside the receiving groove. An adsorption unit 45 is installed in the adsorption groove. A pushing groove is provided inside the adsorption unit 45. A feeding unit 46 is installed in the pushing groove. A sliding groove 47 is provided on the inner side of the outer shell 1. The end of the feeding unit 46 is located in the sliding groove 47. The sliding groove 47 has a circular structure.

[0045] In actual use, when the glass substrate is placed into the receiving groove, the receiving groove can support and position the lower end of the glass substrate. The adsorption unit 45 adsorbs the glass substrate. At this time, the adsorption of the adsorption unit 45 is relatively weak, only ensuring that the glass substrate will not detach from the adsorption unit 45. Then, the drive motor 43 drives the rotating frame 41 to rotate intermittently. When the glass substrate rotates from the leftmost end to the topmost end, the positioning units 44 located at both ends of the receiving groove move inward synchronously, so that the glass substrate is in the center of the receiving groove. At this time, the adsorption of the adsorption unit 45 is strengthened, so that the glass substrate is completely adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption unit 45. When the rotating frame 41 When the glass substrate is rotated to a horizontal position, the laser cutting module 3 performs laser cutting on the glass substrate. After the cutting is completed, the rotating frame 41 drives the glass substrate to continue rotating. When the glass substrate rotates from the top to the rightmost end, the unloading unit 46 gradually moves into the receiving groove. When the glass substrate rotates to the rightmost end, the unloading unit 46 moves to the maximum position. At this time, the waste is completely ejected and falls into the collection groove. When the glass substrate rotates from the rightmost end to the bottommost end, the unloading unit 46 gradually returns to its original position. When the glass substrate rotates to the bottommost end, the adsorption unit 45 is de-energized, and the finished product in the receiving groove falls onto the conveyor belt, achieving the purpose of separating the finished product and the waste.

[0046] Reference Figure 9 As shown, an arc-shaped plate 471 is installed in the upper left of the inside of the slide 47, and the thickness of the arc-shaped plate 471 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends.

[0047] Reference Figure 7As shown, the positioning unit 44 includes a positioning rod 441, a clamping plate 442, and a positioning spring 443. The positioning rod 441 is installed at the end of the receiving groove. The positioning rod 441 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 41. The clamping plate 442 is installed on the inner side of the positioning rod 441. The positioning spring 443 is installed on the positioning rod 441 between the clamping plate 442 and the rotating frame 41. The outer side of the positioning rod 441 is located in the slide groove 47.

[0048] In actual use, when the glass substrate rotates from the leftmost end to the topmost end, the outer side of the positioning rod 441 moves from the slide groove 47 to the arc plate 471; when the outer side of the positioning rod 441 moves from the end of the arc plate 471 to the middle, the positioning rods 441 at both ends of the receiving groove move synchronously to the middle of the receiving groove, the clamping plate 442 moves synchronously with the positioning rod 441, and the positioning spring 443 gradually stretches; when the outer side of the positioning rod 441 moves to the middle of the arc plate 471, the clamping plate 442 pushes the glass substrate to the center of the receiving groove; when the outer side of the positioning rod 441 moves from the middle of the arc plate 471 to the end, the positioning spring 443 drives the positioning rod 441 and the clamping plate 442 to gradually return to their original positions, thus realizing the function of positioning the glass substrate, ensuring that the position of the glass substrate remains consistent during laser cutting, and improving the yield of laser cutting of glass substrates.

[0049] It should be noted that the curved plate 471 is a detachable structure. When the outer side of the positioning rod 441 is located in the middle of the curved plate 471, the clamping plate 442 pushes the glass substrate to be exactly in the center of the receiving groove. When the length of the glass substrate is changed, curved plates 471 of different thicknesses can be replaced so that the clamping plate 442 can always push the glass substrate to the center of the receiving groove.

[0050] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the adsorption unit 45 includes an adsorption plate 451, a touch switch 452, and a top rod 453. The adsorption plate 451 is installed in the adsorption tank, and adsorption holes are evenly arranged on the adsorption plate 451. The touch switch 452 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the rotating frame 41. The touch switch 452 is electrically connected to the adsorption plate 451. The top rod 453 is installed at the lower end of the middle of the fixed rod 42. The top rod 453 cooperates with the touch switch 452.

[0051] In actual use, when the glass substrate is placed inside the receiving trough, the receiving trough supports and positions the lower end of the glass substrate, and the suction holes adsorb the glass substrate. At this time, the adsorption of the suction holes is relatively weak, only ensuring that the glass substrate will not detach from the suction plate 451. After the positioning unit 44 has positioned the glass substrate, the adsorption of the suction holes is strengthened, so that the glass substrate is completely adsorbed and fixed by the suction holes. When the glass substrate rotates to the bottom, the top rod 453 presses the touch switch 452. At this time, the suction plate 451 is de-energized, and the finished product inside the receiving trough falls onto the conveyor belt below.

[0052] It should be noted that the adsorption holes on the adsorption plate 451 are aligned with the position of the finished product.

[0053] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the feeding unit 46 includes a pusher plate 461, a pusher pin 462, a pusher rod 463, a cam 464, and a feeding spring 465. The pusher plate 461 is provided in the pusher groove. The pusher pins 462 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the pusher plate 461. The adsorption unit 45 is evenly provided with top holes. The pusher pins 462 cooperate with the top holes. The pusher rods 463 are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the pusher plate 461. The feeding spring 465 is installed on the pusher rods 463. The cams 464 are symmetrically installed on the fixing rod 42. The inner side of the pusher rod 463 is a smooth arc surface. The inner side of the pusher rod 463 passes through the rotating frame 41 and is in close contact with the surface of the cam 464.

[0054] In actual use, when the glass substrate rotates from the top to the right, the push rod 463 and the cam 464 gradually press against each other, causing the push rod 463 to move outward, the feeding spring 465 to gradually compress, and the ejector pin 462 to gradually move from the top hole into the receiving groove. When the glass substrate rotates to the right, the ejector pin 462 moves to its maximum position, and the ejector pin 462 squeezes the waste material, causing the waste material to break away from the finished product. After that, the waste material falls completely from the receiving groove and into the collection groove. When the glass substrate continues to rotate, the feeding spring 465 drives the push rod 463 and the push plate 461 to reset.

[0055] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] 1: Automatic feeding. Multiple glass substrates are manually placed into the storage unit 21. Then, the feeding unit 22 moves to the left. When the feeding unit 22 is in close contact with the glass substrate, the feeding unit 22 adsorbs and fixes the glass substrate. After that, the feeding unit 22 drives the glass substrate to move to the right and rotates 180° so that the glass substrate enters the receiving groove.

[0057] 2: Positioning and cutting. The adsorption unit 45 adsorbs the glass substrate, the rotating frame 41 drives the glass substrate to rotate, the positioning unit 44 positions the glass substrate, and when the glass substrate rotates to the top, the laser cutting module 3 performs laser cutting on the glass substrate.

[0058] 3: Finished product separation. The rotating frame 41 drives the glass substrate after cutting to continue rotating. The unloading unit 46 pushes out the waste. When the glass substrate rotates to the bottom, the adsorption unit 45 closes and the finished product falls onto the conveyor belt.

[0059] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
