[0003] The existing plate polishing device polishes the plate by uniformly swinging a plurality of polishing heads. However, the edge profile of the plate is usually irregular, and the width of each plate is also different during polishing production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to better understand and implement, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0041] In the prior art, the surface polishing of plates such as stone, rock plate, ceramic plate, metal plate and glass is an important link in the processing process, which continuously polishes the surface of the plate through the polishing head to make the surface of the plate reach a certain gloss.

[0042] The existing plate polishing device is polished by multiple polishing grinding heads swinging uniformly. However, the edge profile of the plate is usually irregular, and the width of each plate is also different during polishing production. In the existing polishing plate equipment, there is a plate edge profile sensor in front of the feeding direction. When the edge profile of the plate is detected, the grinding head will be lifted to avoid the grinding head grinding on the conveying belt (see Figure 1 , Figure 1 Specifically, the plate polishing and grinding trajectory diagram of the existing polishing plate equipment) ; then, the grinding head continues to swing outward (i.e. in the direction of arrow B), and turns back to swing until the grinding head swings to the outermost position (i.e. swings back to B1 line), and returns to the edge profile position of the plate, and the grinding head is lowered to continue the polishing work.

[0043] It can be seen that in order to prevent the grinding head from grinding on the conveying belt, the grinding head will be lifted, however, the grinding head after being lifted is still rotating, but will not contact with the plate, and is in the state of idling and doing useless work (i.e. the area between B1 and B2 in the figure, the grinding head does useless work), which wastes energy. In addition, the lifting of the grinding head is not timely and the impact generated by the lifting will cause poor edge polishing effect of the plate, and the edge position of the plate is prone to yellow edge and shadow problems.

[0044] Referring to Figures 2-11 The present application discloses a plate polishing and grinding device and a plate polishing and grinding method for irregular plates 7 using the same.

[0045] Embodiment 1 Structure of a plate polishing and grinding device

[0046] Referring to Figures 2-11 The present embodiment discloses a plate polishing and grinding device, which can be specifically applied to irregular profile plates 7 and can be adaptively connected for polishing, wherein the polishing objects include but are not limited to stone, rock plate, ceramic plate, metal plate, glass and other plates 7, and the specific structure is as follows:

[0047] The plate polishing and grinding device comprises a conveying assembly 2, a polishing and grinding assembly 3 and a detection assembly 4.

[0048] The conveying assembly 2 has a conveying plane for conveying the plate 7; the polishing and grinding assembly 3 is arranged on the upper side of the conveying assembly 2, and the polishing and grinding assembly 3 comprises a grinding head unit 31 which can swing in a first direction and a second direction; wherein in the conveying plane, the first direction is the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 2, and the second direction is the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 2; the detection assembly 4 is located at the plate feeding end of the conveying assembly 2, and is used for detecting the outer profile size of the plate 7.

[0049] The plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are arranged on the outer edge profile of the plate 7, and the polishing trajectory 73 is planned according to the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5, and the grinding head unit 31 swings along the polishing trajectory 73 to polish the plate 7.

[0050] It should be noted that the first direction is the X direction in the above description, Figure 2 and the second direction is the Y direction in the above description. Figure 2

[0051] In view of the problem that the existing plate polishing device has idle grinding head and poor edge polishing effect of the plate 7, the plate polishing device of the embodiment improves the polishing structure, the detection assembly 4 detects the respective corresponding outer edge profile size of the plate 7 in real time, determines a plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the respective corresponding outer edge profile, and plans a respective corresponding polishing trajectory 73 through a preset algorithm, so that the polishing swing range of the grinding head unit 31 is self-adaptive to the outer edge profile of the plate 7, and the plate 7 of different shapes is polished self-adaptively, avoiding the idle grinding head unit 31 and improving the efficiency and reducing the energy consumption.

[0052] At the same time, the self-adaptive polishing of the plate 7 of different shapes can improve the polishing quality of the plate 7, especially the edge polishing effect, and prevent the edge of the plate from having yellow edges and dark shadows.

[0053] Preferably, how to determine the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the outer edge profile of the plate 7 can be that the detection assembly 4 detects the outer edge profile size of the plate 7, a speed sensor detects the conveying speed of the plate 7, and a computer preset algorithm software automatically calculates the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 according to the outer edge profile size and the conveying speed, and then connects the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 in sequence to form the polishing trajectory 73, which can be referred to in Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0054] Referring to Figures 9-11 Optionally, the grinding head unit 31 can ascend and descend along a third direction, wherein the third direction is the height direction of the conveying assembly 2; the detection assembly 4 is further configured to detect the inner edge profile size of the hole on the plate 7; wherein the grinding head ascending point 61 and the grinding head descending point 62 are determined on the inner edge profile of the plate 7, the ascending and descending trajectory 74 of the hole is formed according to the grinding head ascending point 61 and the grinding head descending point 62, the grinding head unit 31 ascends and descends along the ascending and descending trajectory 74, and the ascending and descending trajectory 74 is formed in the polishing trajectory 73. In the illustrated embodiment, the third direction is the Z direction.

[0055] ​In view of the fact that some of the existing plates 7 have holes, in order to prevent the contact between the grinding head unit 31 and the conveying belt 21 of the conveying assembly 2 through the holes of the plate 7, the grinding head unit 31 needs to be raised at the edge of the hole and then lowered after passing through the hole to continue the grinding, so that the grinding head unit 31 can be lifted in the third direction to avoid the hole, so as to more adaptively grind the plate 7.

[0056] At the same time, the lifting track 74 is planned in the grinding track 73, which can combine the lifting track 74 of the lifting point of the grinding head unit 31 into the grinding track 73 of the grinding head unit 31, effectively plan the grinding track 73 with the highest grinding efficiency, and improve the grinding efficiency; at the same time, it can also avoid the hole and prevent the contact between the grinding head unit 31 and the conveying belt 21.

[0057] It should be noted that, in view of the fact that the existing plate 7 has two types of plates 7, one of which is a plate 7 without holes, and at this moment the profile size of the plate 7 detected by the detection assembly 4 is the outer edge profile size; the other is a plate 7 with holes, and at this moment the profile size of the plate 7 detected by the detection assembly 4 is the outer edge profile size and the inner edge profile size. Therefore, the plate grinding device can be applied to at least two different types of irregular plates 7.

[0058] Specifically, when the plate 7 without holes needs to be ground, referring to Figure 6 , the plate grinding device can calculate the grinding track 73 according to the outer edge profile size of the plate 7 detected by the detection assembly 4 and the conveying speed, and preset the algorithm software of the computer to calculate the swing inflection point 5 of the grinding head, and drive the grinding head unit 31 to swing along the grinding track 73.

[0059] Further specifically, when the plate 7 with holes needs to be ground, referring to Figure 7 , the plate grinding device can calculate the grinding track 73 and the lifting track 74 according to the outer edge profile size, the inner edge profile size and the conveying speed of the plate 7 detected by the detection assembly 4, and preset the algorithm software of the computer to calculate the swing inflection point 5 of the grinding head, the lifting point 61 and the lowering point 62 of the grinding head, and control the driving of the grinding head unit 31 to swing along the grinding track 73 and lift along the lifting track 74.

[0060] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the swing inflection point 5 of the grinding head refers to the turning point of the grinding head unit 31 moving on the surface of the plate 7 to the outer profile of the circumferential outer surface of the plate 7, and the turning angle of the turning point can be approximately 90° or other suitable angles, which needs to be determined according to the actual outer profile of the plate 7; the lifting point 61 and the lowering point 62 of the grinding head refer to the lifting or lowering of the grinding head unit 31 moving on the surface of the plate 7 to the inner profile on the hole of the plate 7, and the lifting height can be set according to the actual situation.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are arranged on the opposite two-side outer edge profiles of the plate 7 along the second direction.

[0062] Wherein, on one of the two-side outer edge profiles, the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are sequentially marked as the ith, where i={1, 2, …, n}, n represents the corresponding number and n is a natural number greater than 1, along the first direction; on the other of the two-side outer edge profiles, the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are sequentially marked as the rth, where r={1, 2, …, n}, n represents the corresponding number and n is a natural number greater than 1, along the first direction; the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are arranged to move along the path of the ith=1, the rth=1, the rth=2, the ith=2, the ith=3, the rth=3, …, the ith=n or the rth=m, to form the grinding track 73. In this way, the specific positions of the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are located on the opposite two-side outer edge profiles of the plate 7 along the second direction, and the plurality of grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 are connected in a certain logical order to form the grinding track 73, wherein the logical order is: first connected to the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the opposite side, then connected to the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the same side, and then connected to the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the opposite side, that is, first connected on the opposite side, then connected on the same side, to form the grinding track 73, so that a grinding track 73 similar to a wave shape can be formed, which can well cover the surface of the plate 7 to be ground, thereby improving the grinding efficiency.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the ith grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 and the rth grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 are arranged in alignment along the second direction, where i=r. In this way, the first grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 and the first grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 are arranged in alignment, the second grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 and the second grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 are arranged in alignment, and the third grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 and the third grinding head swing-back inflection point 5 are arranged in alignment, so that the two grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the opposite sides are arranged in alignment, which can effectively simplify the determination of the positions of the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5 on the outer edge profile, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the grinding head swing-back inflection points 5.

[0064] Meanwhile, it should be noted that the grinding track 73 of the grinding head unit 31 on the surface of the plate 7 forms a shape similar to a square wave, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 This can further fully polish the surface of the plate 7 and improve the grinding efficiency.

[0065] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the understanding of the determination of the position of the grinding head swing back inflection point 5 and the grinding trajectory 73, the relative two side edge contours of the plate 7 along the second direction are exemplified as the upper and lower two side edge contours.

[0066] The grinding trajectory 73 specifically includes a first grinding path 731 and a second grinding path 732, a plurality of grinding head swing back inflection points 5 are arranged on the upper and lower two side edge contours of the plate 7 along the second direction, the plurality of grinding head swing back inflection points 5 on the upper and lower two side edge contours are arranged in pairs in alignment and form the first grinding path 731, the two grinding head swing back inflection points 5 on the same side contour form the second grinding path 732, and the second grinding path 732 is arranged in sequence between the adjacent two first grinding paths 731 in one above the other and along the first direction.

[0067] Through the detection assembly 4 to obtain the contour size of the plate 7, the computer preset algorithm software will determine the plurality of grinding head swing back inflection points 5 according to the above-mentioned determination method, the plurality of grinding head swing back inflection points 5 will be connected by two grinding head swing back inflection points 5 arranged in alignment on the upper and lower edge contours to form the first grinding path 731, and the two grinding head swing back inflection points 5 on the same edge contour are connected to form the second grinding path 732, and the second grinding path 732 is arranged in sequence between the adjacent two first grinding paths 731 in one above the other, to form a nearly square wave-shaped grinding path. Of course, in other embodiments, the spacing between the grinding head swing back inflection points 5 on the same edge contour can also be different, and the spacing size can be planned according to the actual size of the plate 7.

[0068] It should be noted that the same spacing between the grinding head swing back inflection points 5 on the same edge contour means that the adjacent two first grinding paths 731 are the same.

[0069] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the grinding trajectory 73 between the i-th grinding head swing back inflection point 5 and the r-th grinding head swing back inflection point 5 is the first grinding path 731, where i=r; wherein the first grinding path 731 sets the grinding head lifting point 61 and the grinding head lowering point 62 at the inner edge contour of the hole on the plate 7. In this way, the lifting and lowering trajectory 74 of the lifting and lowering points of the grinding head unit 31 can be specifically combined into the first grinding path 731 of the grinding trajectory 73, the grinding efficiency of the grinding trajectory 73 can be effectively planned to improve the grinding efficiency; at the same time, the hole can also be avoided to prevent the grinding head unit 31 from contacting the conveying belt 21.

[0070] Referring to Figures 6-11 Optionally, the plate grinding device further comprises a rack 1.

[0071] The polishing assembly 3 further comprises a first guide rail 11, a first beam body 33, a fixing base 34, a first direction swing driving unit 35 and a second direction swing driving unit 36.

Since the straight rack 321 is fixed on the first guide rail 11, the straight rack 321 is fixed and thus the gear 322 will move on the straight rack 321 along the second direction, thereby driving the second direction swing driving unit 36, the first beam body 33, the fixed seat 34, the first direction swing driving unit 35 and the grinding head unit 31 to move along the second direction.

[0079] Moreover, the driving end of the first direction swing driving unit 35 is provided with a rotating disc 37, one end of a connecting rod 371 is eccentrically arranged on the rotating disc 37, and the other end of the connecting rod 371 is connected with the first beam body 33. Thus, when the first direction swing driving unit 35 drives the rotating disc 37 to rotate, the relative distance between the first direction swing driving unit 35 and the first beam body 33 in the first direction can be changed through the change of the position of the connecting rod 371 itself, thereby driving the fixed seat 34 and the grinding head unit 31 to move along the first direction. In this way, the grinding head unit 31 can move along the first direction and the second direction, the plate material 7 is polished according to the polishing trajectory 73, and the structure is more compact.

[0080] Optionally, the first direction swing driving unit 35 and the second direction swing driving unit 36 can be servo motors.

Specifically, a rotating bearing is arranged between the lifting end of the third direction lifting driving unit 38 and the main shaft 381, and a rotating bearing is also arranged between the rotating sleeve 382 and the fixed seat 34.

[0083] Since the grinding head unit 31 can rotate to polish and grind the plate 7 and can also be lifted in the third direction, in the specific implementation structure in the embodiment, the grinding head rotating driving unit 39 drives the rotating sleeve 382 to rotate through the transmission belt 391, the rotating sleeve 382 drives the main shaft 381 to rotate through the guide key, and the main shaft 381 drives the grinding head unit 31 to rotate, thereby polishing and grinding the plate 7.

[0084] Meanwhile, when the grinding head unit 31 needs to be lifted to avoid the hole, the third direction lifting driving unit 38 is extended or retracted to drive the main shaft 381 to be extended or retracted, and the main shaft 381 drives the grinding head unit 31 to be lifted. Since the guide key can slide in the axial direction in the guide groove, the grinding head unit 31 can be lifted without affecting the rotation of the grinding head unit 31, thereby realizing the rotation and lifting of the grinding head unit 31. Meanwhile, the structure is compact and occupies a small area.

The above-mentioned detection tool can obtain the edge profile position data of the plate 7, and the edge profile size data of the plate 7 can be obtained through the program calculation built in the detection tool, so as to provide a basis for the subsequent polishing movement.

[0092] In addition, since the profile of the plate 7 detected by the detection component 4 specifically includes an outer profile and an inner profile, the above-mentioned detection tool can specifically obtain the outer edge profile position 71 data and the inner edge profile position 72 data of the plate 7, and the outer edge profile size data and the inner edge profile size data of the plate 7 can be obtained through the program calculation built in the detection tool, so as to provide a basis for the subsequent polishing movement.
