Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of glass processing, and particularly relates to a glass edging machine and an edging method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glass is hard and brittle, and is difficult to machine. For example, during the processing of glass used in furniture, industry, building doors and windows, and curtain walls, glass cutting is often required. Due to the rigidity of glass, the four edges and corner tips of the cut glass are sharp and sharp, which not only affects the appearance, but also directly affects the safety of construction personnel during installation. In order to meet the process requirements of safety, anti-breaking, and aesthetics, almost all glass secondary processing or products need to be manually or mechanically ground before becoming products.

[0003] The existing edging machine, such as patent No. CN113182972B, a flat glass edging device, needs to spray water on the glass edging position during the glass edging process. On the one hand, it can play a role in cooling, and on the other hand, it can clean the glass powder generated during grinding. However, due to the high temperature generated during grinding, the glass powder adhering to the glass side and surface after grinding is not washed away by water. After the glass edging is completed, if the glass is not treated in any way, the stains adhering to the surface of the glass will solidify, which is not conducive to the subsequent cleaning of the glass. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and to provide a glass edging machine and an edging method, which can ensure the cleanliness of the glass surface and reduce the pressure on the subsequent cleaning process of the glass.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a glass edging machine, which comprises:

[0006] The edging assembly is used to edge the glass side, and comprises a transmission assembly, an anti-warping assembly, an edging grinding wheel, and a water flushing assembly. The transmission assembly is used to drive the glass transmission. The anti-warping assembly is used to suppress the glass to prevent the glass from warping. The edging grinding wheel is used to grind the glass side during the glass transmission. The water flushing assembly is used to flush and cool the glass grinding position.

[0007] The grinding and polishing debris removal assembly is arranged on the outlet side of the edging assembly, and is used to grind and polish the glass after edging to remove the glass powder adhering to the glass due to high temperature generated during grinding.

[0008] In the technical solution, the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly is arranged to grind and polish the glass after edging to remove the glass powder adhering to the glass due to high temperature generated during grinding, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the glass surface and reduce the pressure on the subsequent cleaning process of the glass.

[0009] Further, the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly comprises a base, and a blocking piece is arranged on the base.

[0010] Two grinding and polishing pieces are arranged in parallel on the base, and grinding and polishing grooves are arranged on opposite surfaces of the grinding and polishing pieces.

[0011] The grinding and polishing grooves have a groove height equal to the thickness of the glass.

[0012] A grinding and polishing driving piece is connected with the grinding and polishing pieces and is used to drive the grinding and polishing pieces to reciprocate along the length direction of the glass.

[0013] Further, the blocking piece comprises air cylinders arranged on the inlet side and the outlet side of the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly.

[0014] In the technical solution, after the glass is ground by the edge grinding assembly, the glass is transmitted to the base of the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly.

[0015] Further, the grinding and polishing driving piece comprises:

[0016] A driving motor is fixedly arranged on the base.

[0017] A rotating plate is rotatably connected with the top of the grinding and polishing piece.

[0018] A connecting rod is rotatably connected with one side of the rotating plate and is connected with the output end of the driving motor.

[0019] In the technical solution, the driving motor is started to rotate the connecting rod and the rotating plate, and the rotating plate drives the grinding and polishing piece to slide along the length direction of the glass.

[0020] Furthermore, the rotating plate and the grinding and polishing part are connected at a point where they are not completely cylindrical. The radius of the cylinder is greater than the distance from the center of the cylinder to the upper surface of the grinding and polishing part. When the drive motor is not started, the arc circumference of the cylinder is located on the side away from the grinding and polishing part. The grinding and polishing part is elastic, and the arc circumference of the cylinder can squeeze the grinding and polishing part to reduce the height of the grinding and polishing groove.

[0021] In this technical solution, when the drive motor is not started, that is, when the polishing parts are not sliding, the non-arc section of the cylinder is above the polishing parts and does not press against them. At this time, after the glass is edged by the edge grinding assembly, it will be transferred to the base of the polishing and chip removal assembly. The two sides of the glass can be smoothly inserted into the polishing grooves of the two polishing parts and undergo relative displacement with the polishing grooves to complete the first polishing and chip removal. When the drive motor is started, it drives the connecting rod and the rotating plate to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate will cause the arc circumference of the cylinder to rotate above the polishing parts and press against them, reducing the height of the polishing groove. In this way, the polishing groove and the side of the glass are closely attached. During the reciprocating sliding of the polishing parts, the glass can be better polished and chipped on both sides during the back-and-forth wiping process.

[0022] Furthermore, the polishing component is made entirely of PVC material, and the polishing groove wall is provided with either polishing sandpaper or polishing felt cloth.

[0023] Furthermore, a squeegee is provided at one end of the rotating plate near the polishing part, and the squeegee is in contact with the glass surface.

[0024] In this technical solution, during the process of the glass being transferred from the edge grinding assembly to the base of the polishing and descaling assembly after being edged by the edge grinding assembly, the squeegee remains stationary and moves relative to the glass, which can block most of the water on the glass surface and remove the water.

[0025] Furthermore, the length of the rotating plate is greater than the length of the glass.

[0026] In this technical solution, the rotating plate acts as a screen, blocking some of the glass powder that drifts from the edge grinding assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, the edge grinding method using the aforementioned edge grinding machine includes the following steps:

[0028] S1: Edge grinding. The glass is fed onto the conveying component of the edge grinding assembly, and the glass is conveyed along the conveying component. During the conveying process, the edge grinding wheel rotates to grind the side of the glass. At the same time, the anti-warping component presses down on the glass to prevent it from warping, and the water flushing component flushes water onto the glass grinding area to cool it down.

[0029] S2: The glass is transmitted to the base of the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly after being ground and polished by the grinding and polishing assembly, and in the transmission process, the glass is inserted into the grinding and polishing groove of the two grinding and polishing pieces on both sides and relative displacement occurs between the glass and the grinding and polishing groove to complete the first grinding and polishing debris removal, after the glass is transmitted to the position, the piston rod of the air cylinder is extended to make the stop plate rise to limit the movement of the glass, then the driving motor is started to make the connecting rod rotate and drive the rotating plate to rotate, the rotating plate rotates to drive the grinding and polishing piece to slide along the length direction of the glass on both sides of the glass, and the glass clamped in the grinding and polishing groove will displace relative to the grinding and polishing groove, so that the purpose of grinding and polishing the glass after grinding is achieved.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0031] 1. By setting the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly, the glass after grinding can be ground and polished, the glass powder adhered to the glass after grinding due to high temperature generated during grinding can be ground and polished and removed, and the cleanliness of the glass surface can be ensured, thereby reducing the pressure of the subsequent cleaning process of the glass.

[0032] 2. After the glass is ground and polished by the grinding and polishing assembly, the glass is transmitted to the base of the grinding and polishing debris removal assembly, and in the transmission process, the glass is inserted into the grinding and polishing groove of the two grinding and polishing pieces on both sides and relative displacement occurs between the glass and the grinding and polishing groove to complete the first grinding and polishing debris removal, after the glass is transmitted to the position, the piston rod of the air cylinder is extended to make the stop plate rise to limit the movement of the glass, then the grinding and polishing driving piece drives the grinding and polishing piece to complete one-way reciprocating sliding on the base, and the one-way reciprocating sliding of the grinding and polishing piece wipes the glass on both sides once, so that the grinding and polishing debris removal on both sides of the glass is better achieved.

[0033] 3. When the driving motor is started, the connecting rod and the rotating plate are driven to rotate, the rotating plate rotates to make the circular arc surface of the cylinder rotate to the upper side of the grinding and polishing piece and extrude the grinding and polishing piece to reduce the groove height of the grinding and polishing groove, so that the grinding and polishing groove is closely attached to the side surface of the glass, and the grinding and polishing debris removal on both sides of the glass is better achieved in the process of one-way reciprocating sliding of the grinding and polishing piece wiping the glass on both sides.
