Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a high-safety glass edging machine and glass processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Glass edging machines are among the earliest and most widely used mechanical equipment in glass deep processing. They primarily use a grinding head motor and grinding wheels to grind and polish glass, completing rough grinding, fine grinding, and polishing in a single operation. Different grinding wheels can be selected based on specific processing requirements. Vertical linear edging machines are common glass edging equipment. Compared to horizontal glass edging machines, they occupy less space and are more versatile. Their main structure includes the machine body, a horizontal conveyor belt, and a support frame with rollers. During operation, the glass is lifted and placed on the horizontal conveyor belt, then tilted against the support frame. The glass is then transported to the machine body via the horizontal conveyor belt for edging, and finally, the edged glass is output via the horizontal conveyor belt again.

[0003] Existing vertical straight-line glass edging machines require the glass edge to be processed to be placed horizontally on a horizontal conveyor belt. When processing irregularly shaped glass, such as parallelograms or long strips, the glass edge is placed on the horizontal conveyor belt and rests against a support frame. Due to factors such as a shifted center of gravity or a short edge, the horizontal conveyor belt contacts the glass edge. As the glass moves through friction, the bottom contact surface of the glass is stressed, while the middle or upper part of the glass contacts the support frame. If the bottom contact surface of the glass is short or the center of gravity is unstable, the glass is prone to tilting in the opposite direction of movement, making it easy to tip over during transport and resulting in poor safety. If the glass is manually stabilized by workers before entering the edging machine and after leaving the machine, a large amount of manpower is required during processing. Furthermore, manually controlling the glass requires workers to hold it while it moves with the horizontal conveyor belt, making it difficult to control the force and causing instability in the angle of the glass during movement. If the bottom edge of the glass does not enter the edging machine horizontally, errors will occur during the edging process, leading to a decrease in edging quality.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a high-safety glass edging machine with advantages such as stable support, high safety, and labor saving.

[0019] A glass processing technology that utilizes the aforementioned high-safety glass edging machine.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a high-safety glass edging machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This high-safety glass edging machine features a drive conveyor mounted on a support frame, with multiple support modules on the drive conveyor. When irregularly shaped glass is tilted against the support frame, the side of the glass away from the direction of movement is positioned between the corresponding main and secondary support frames. The irregularly shaped glass compresses a portion of the main and secondary support rods, while the uncompressed main or secondary support rods at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass provide support, preventing it from tipping over and enhancing safety. Compared to manual methods, the support effect is more continuous and stable, ensuring that the edge to be processed remains horizontal during glass movement, thus guaranteeing the edging quality. By incorporating a transmission assembly, when the glass edge only compresses the main support... When the glass is in motion, the transmission assembly can drive the secondary support rod to adapt to the position of the glass edge and move it to fit tightly against the glass edge. This avoids the gap between the glass edge and the secondary support rod, which could cause the glass to tilt slightly, further improving the support effect. The secondary support rod supports the side of the glass away from the direction of movement and drives the glass to move. The glass is then moved by a horizontal conveyor located at the bottom of the glass and a drive conveyor located in the middle of the glass. The side of the glass away from the direction of movement is supported, which can effectively prevent irregularly shaped or narrow glass from tilting due to an unstable center of gravity when moving at the bottom via the conveyor belt. The driving force of the conveyor belt causes the glass to tilt to the side away from the direction of movement, ensuring that the glass is transported more stably and safely.

[0022] 2. This high-safety glass edging machine features a reset rack, transmission gear, protrusion, and reset spring on the support module, and a reset plate on the drive conveyor. When the support module changes shape, the reset plate contacts the support module, which can drive the secondary support rod to reset, allowing the support module to be reused multiple times.

[0023] 3. This type of high-safety glass edging machine has a rotating wheel and a screw installed on the support frame. Rotating the rotating wheel can drive the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the drive transmission to slide along the support frame. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the drive transmission and support module to adapt to glass of different sizes and shapes, making it more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] As described in the background section, there are shortcomings in the existing technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a high-safety glass edging machine.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 A high-safety glass edging machine includes a edging machine body 1, a horizontal conveyor 2 and a support frame 3. A drive conveyor 4 is provided on the support frame 3, and multiple support modules are installed on the drive conveyor 4.

[0044] The support module includes a housing 5, with a main support rod 6 and a secondary support rod 7 respectively provided at both ends of the housing 5. The main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 are movably inserted into the housing 5. Two through holes 8 are opened on the surface of the housing 5, corresponding to the positions of the main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 respectively. The main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 extend to the front of the support face of the support frame 3. A transmission assembly is also provided inside the housing 5, and the main support rod 6 is connected to the secondary support rod 7 through the transmission assembly.

[0045] When the glass leans against the support surface of the support frame 3, the glass compresses the main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7, while the main support rod 6 or the secondary support rod 7 at the edge of the glass that is not compressed is used to support the glass.

[0046] When the glass only presses against the main support rod 6, the main support rod 6 drives the auxiliary support rod 7 to move and approach the main support rod 6 through the transmission assembly.

[0047] Among them, the operating speed of the drive conveyor 4 is the same as that of the horizontal conveyor 2, multiple support modules are distributed in a linear array, the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7 have the same length and diameter, and the diameter of the through hole 8 is larger than the diameter of the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7.

[0048] In use, the drive conveyor 4 and the horizontal conveyor 2 operate synchronously at the same speed. The worker lifts the irregularly shaped glass onto the horizontal conveyor 2, ensuring the edge to be processed is completely flush with it. The irregularly shaped glass is then tilted against the support frame 3. Before tilting against the support frame 3, the irregularly shaped glass contacts multiple support modules on the drive conveyor 4. At this point, the support modules located on the back of the irregularly shaped glass are completely covered by it. Therefore, the pressure of the irregularly shaped glass simultaneously presses down on the main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7 on these support modules. The main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7 move under pressure and penetrate the through holes 8 on the housing 5. If the support modules located at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass are completely covered by it, due to the pressure... If the distance between the secondary support rod 7 in the covered support module and the main support rod 6 in the adjacent support module is small, then the unpressed main support rod 6 on the adjacent support module is located at the edge of the irregular glass to be supported, and can directly provide support. If the support module located at the edge of the irregular glass is partially covered by the irregular glass, then the irregular glass can only press the main support rod 6. When only the main support rod 6 on the same support module is pressed, the main support rod 6 can drive the secondary support rod 7 to move through the transmission component. At this time, the secondary support rod 7 moves towards the main support rod 6 and stops moving when it finally contacts the edge of the irregular glass to be supported. At this time, the secondary support rod 7 is in close contact with the irregular glass to achieve a stable support effect.

[0049] By setting multiple support modules on the drive conveyor 4, and setting movable main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7 on the support modules, when the irregular glass is processed and leans against the support frame 3, it can press down part of the main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7. The main support rods 6 or secondary support rods 7 that are not pressed down at the edge of the irregular glass can provide a continuous and stable support effect, thereby effectively preventing the irregular glass from tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity, which is highly safe. By setting a transmission component, when the irregular glass only presses down on the main support rod 6, it can drive the secondary support rod 7 to move and fit against the edge of the irregular glass. This can avoid the gap between the edge of the irregular glass to be supported and the secondary support rod 7, which helps to avoid the phenomenon of slight tilting of the irregular glass due to the gap, ensures the horizontal state of the edge to be processed at the bottom of the irregular glass, and improves the edge grinding accuracy. Supporting irregular glass in this way can reduce the number of workers and save labor costs.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The conveyor includes a mounting frame 41, a motor 42 is fixed to one end of the mounting frame 41, a drive sprocket 43 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 42, a driven sprocket 44 is provided at the end of the mounting frame 41 away from the motor 42, the driven sprocket 44 is movably connected to the mounting frame 41 through a rotating shaft, and the driven sprocket 44 is connected to the drive sprocket 43 through a chain 45. A vertical plate 37 is fixed to the back of the housing 5, and the vertical plate 37 is fixedly connected to the chain 45.

[0051] When in use, the motor 42 drives the drive sprocket 43 to rotate. When the drive sprocket 43 rotates, it can drive the chain 45 to move, and further drive the driven sprocket 44 to rotate. During the movement of the chain 45, it can drive the vertical plate 37 to move, and then drive the housing 5 to move.

[0052] By setting the conveyor to a chain 45 type transmission method, when the motor 42 is started, multiple support modules can be controlled to move synchronously with the irregularly shaped glass on the horizontal transmission belt, which is beneficial to provide continuous and stable support for the glass throughout the entire processing.

[0053] Further, please refer to Figures 6-10The transmission assembly includes a fixed guide seat 9, a movable guide seat 10, and a guide rail 11. The guide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 5. The movable guide seat 10 is slidably connected to the guide rail 11. The movable guide seat 10 is movably sleeved with the auxiliary support rod 7. A sleeve 12 is fixed to the side of the movable guide seat 10 near the fixed guide seat 9. The fixed guide seat 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 5 and movably sleeved on the main support rod 6. A groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the fixed guide seat 9. A vertical shaft 14 is provided in the groove 13. The end of the vertical shaft 14 is movably connected to the inner wall of the groove 13. A drive gear 15 and a take-up reel 16 are fixed on the vertical shaft 14. A wire 17 is wound on the take-up reel 16. An adaptive spring 18 is fixed to one end of the wire 17. The end of the adaptive spring 18 away from the wire 17 is fixed to the sleeve 12. A drive rack 19 is provided on the side wall of the main support rod 6. The drive rack 19 meshes with the drive gear 15.

[0054] In use, when the irregularly shaped glass is tilted against the support frame 3 and only the main support rod 6 on the same support module is pressed, the main support rod 6 moves within the fixed guide seat 9. The movement of the main support rod 6 drives the drive rack 19 to move. Since the drive rack 19 meshes with the drive gear 15, the movement of the drive rack 19 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 15 drives the vertical shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up wheel 16 on the vertical shaft 14 to rotate. When the take-up wheel 16 rotates, it can wind up the wire 17. When the wire 17 is wound up, its end pulls the adaptation spring 18. When the adaptation spring 18 moves, it pulls the sleeve 12. 2. When moving, the movable guide seat 10 is pulled, which in turn causes the movable guide seat 10 to slide along the guide rail 11. When the movable guide seat 10 moves, it drives the secondary support rod 7 to move, which in turn causes the secondary support rod 7 to gradually approach the edge of the irregular glass to be supported. When the secondary support rod 7 finally contacts the edge of the irregular glass, the secondary support rod 7 stops moving. When the secondary support rod 7 stops moving, the movable guide seat 10 and the housing 12 can no longer move. The wire 17 that continues to be wound will stretch the adaptation spring 18. When the adaptation spring 18 is stretched, it generates a pulling force on the housing 12 and the movable guide seat 10, so that the secondary support rod 7 inside the movable guide seat 10 is in close contact with the edge of the irregular glass to be supported.

[0055] By setting up a transmission component, when the edge of the irregularly shaped glass presses only the main support rod 6 of the same support module, the transmission component drives the secondary support rod 7 to automatically adapt to the position of the glass edge and move to the glass edge, so as to avoid gaps between the secondary support rod 7 and the edge of the irregularly shaped glass and ensure the support effect of the secondary support rod 7.

[0056] A receiving groove is provided on the side wall of the main support rod 6 near the corresponding secondary support rod 7. The drive rack 19 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove, which can prevent the drive rack 19 on the main support rod 6 from scratching the glass when it moves when it comes into contact with the main support rod 6, so as not to reduce the quality of the glass.

[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 The guide rail 11 has a plurality of evenly distributed limiting ratchet teeth 20 on its surface, and the housing 12 has a limiting rack 21 inside. The limiting rack 21 is vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 12. The bottom end of the limiting rack 21 is provided with a locking block 22, which engages with the limiting ratchet teeth 20. The top end of the limiting rack 21 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the housing 12 by a stop spring 23.

[0058] When in use, when the housing 12 is pulled by the adapting spring 18, since the limiting rack 21 is vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 12, the movement of the housing 12 will also drive the limiting rack 21 and the locking block 22 at the bottom of the limiting rack 21 to move. When the locking block 22 moves, it is pressed against the limiting ratchet 20 and then moves, and is reset under the elastic force of the stop spring 23, thereby realizing the dynamic engagement of the locking block 22 and the limiting ratchet 20. Finally, when the secondary support rod 7 is blocked by the edge of the irregular glass, the locking block 22 at the bottom of the limiting rack 21 and the limiting ratchet 20 regain a stable engagement effect.

[0059] By setting the limiting rack 21, the stop spring 23 and the limiting ratchet 20, the movable support seat can be limited after it has moved, and the secondary support rod 7 on the movable support seat can be limited, which ensures that the position of the secondary support rod 7 is stable after it has moved, and is conducive to providing a stable support effect for the edge of the irregular glass.

[0060] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The top of the housing 5 has a strip-shaped through groove 24, and a reset rack 25 is provided in the strip-shaped through groove 24. The bottom end of the reset rack 25 extends into the inside of the sleeve 12 and is vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 12. A transmission gear 26 is provided between the reset rack 25 and the limiting rack 21. The transmission gear 26 meshes with both the reset rack 25 and the limiting rack 21. The transmission gear 26 is movably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 12 through a rotating shaft. A protrusion 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the reset rack 25. A first inclined surface is provided on one side of the protrusion 27. A reset plate 28 is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting bracket 41. The reset plate 28 corresponds to the height of the protrusion 27. A second inclined surface is provided on the edge of the reset plate 28. A reset spring 29 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable guide seat 10 near the fixed guide seat 9. The end of the reset spring 29 away from the movable guide seat 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 5.

[0061] During use, when the movable guide seat 10 moves along the guide rail 11, the movable guide seat 10 will compress the return spring 29. After the irregular glass processing is completed, the movable guide seat 10 and the auxiliary support rod 7 remain engaged when supporting the irregular glass. When the support module moves to the back of the mounting frame 41 with the chain 45, the protrusion 27 at the top of the return rack 25 contacts the edge of the return plate 28. At this time, the second inclined surface presses against the first inclined surface, causing the return rack 25 to move downward. When the return rack 25 moves downward, it drives the transmission gear 26 to rotate. When the transmission gear 26 rotates, it drives the limiting rack 21 to move upward. When the limiting rack 21 moves upward, the locking block 22 at its bottom no longer engages with the limiting ratchet 20. Then, the elastic force of the return spring 29 pushes the movable guide seat 10 to slide and reset. The sliding reset of the movable guide seat 10 can drive the auxiliary support rod 7 to reset.

[0062] By setting up a reset rack 25, a transmission gear 26, a protrusion 27, a reset plate 28, and a reset spring 29, when the support module with the changed shape moves to the back side with the chain 45, the reset plate 28 presses the protrusion 27 to release the movable guide seat 10 from the engagement, and moves under the elastic force of the reset spring 29, which is beneficial to reset the moved auxiliary support rod 7 so that the support module can be reused.

[0063] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The protective cover 30 is fixedly connected to the front of the housing 5. The protective cover 30 has two guide holes on its surface. The main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7 pass through the two guide holes and extend to the outside of the protective cover 30.

[0064] Among them, the guide hole corresponding to the secondary support rod 7 is set to be straight, and the protective cover 30 is preferably fixed to the housing 5 by screws;

[0065] When the secondary support rod 7 moves with the movable guide seat 10, it moves along the inside of the guide hole, which can prevent the protective cover 30 from affecting the movement of the secondary support rod 7. At the same time, the protective cover 30 also has the functions of protection, dustproof and waterproof.

[0066] Further, please refer to Figures 13-16 The outer wall of the main support rod 6 is provided with a main strip groove 31, and the inner wall of the fixed guide seat 9 is fixedly connected with a main connecting block 32 extending into the main strip groove 31. The main connecting block 32 is connected to the inner wall of the main strip groove 31 through a main return spring 38. The outer wall of the secondary support rod 7 is provided with a secondary strip groove 33, and the inner wall of the fixed guide seat 9 is fixedly connected with a secondary connecting block 34 extending into the secondary strip groove 33. The secondary connecting block 34 is connected to the inner wall of the secondary strip groove 33 through a secondary return spring 39.

[0067] When in use, the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7 will stretch the main return spring 38 and the auxiliary return spring 39 respectively when they move. When the glass no longer presses the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7, the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary return spring 39 can move and reset under the action of the main return spring 38 and the auxiliary return spring 39.

[0068] By setting the main return spring 38 and the secondary return spring 39, it is beneficial to drive the main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 to reset, so that the main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 can be reused. At the same time, by setting the main connecting block 32 extending into the main strip groove 31, the main support rod 6 can be prevented from twisting, ensuring the stability of the main support rod 6 during extension and retraction. By setting the secondary connecting block 34 extending into the secondary strip groove 33, the secondary support rod 7 can be prevented from twisting, ensuring the stability of the secondary support rod 7 during extension and retraction.

[0069] Further, please refer to Figure 5 Both ends of the mounting bracket 41 are slidably connected to the support bracket 3. Both ends of the support bracket 3 are provided with screws 35. The screws 35 pass through the end of the mounting bracket 41 and are threadedly connected to the end of the mounting bracket 41. Both ends of the screws 35 are movably connected to the support bracket 3. A rotating wheel 36 is fixed to the end of the screws 35.

[0070] The support frame 3 is equipped with a slider, and the mounting frame 41 is equipped with a sliding groove that matches the slider, so as to achieve a sliding connection.

[0071] In use, rotating the wheel 36 drives the screw 35 to rotate. When the screw 35 rotates, it drives the end of the mounting bracket 41 to slide. In actual operation, rotating both wheels 36 at the same time can adjust the height of the entire drive conveyor 4.

[0072] By adjusting the height of the drive conveyor 4, it is possible to adapt to glass of different heights and shapes, thus improving applicability.

[0073] Working principle: When in use, start the main body 1 of the edge grinding machine, the horizontal conveyor 2 and the motor 42. The motor 42 drives the drive sprocket 43 to rotate. When the drive sprocket 43 rotates, it drives the chain 45 to move, and further drives the driven sprocket 44 to rotate. At this time, the chain 45 and the horizontal conveyor 2 run synchronously and at the same speed, thereby driving the multiple support modules on the chain 45 to move together. The worker lifts the irregular glass onto the horizontal conveyor 2, so that the edge to be processed is completely in contact with the horizontal conveyor 2, and then tilts the irregular glass against the support frame 3.

[0074] Before the irregularly shaped glass leans against the support frame 3, it first contacts multiple support modules on the drive conveyor 4. At this time, the support modules located on the back of the irregularly shaped glass are completely covered by the irregularly shaped glass. Therefore, the pressure of the irregularly shaped glass will simultaneously press the main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 on these support modules. The main support rod 6 and the secondary support rod 7 move under pressure and pass through the through hole 8 on the housing 5, and will respectively stretch the main return spring 38 and the secondary return spring 39. If the support module located at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass is completely covered by the irregularly shaped glass, the main support rod 6 on the adjacent support module that is not pressed is located at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass to be supported, and can directly provide support.

[0075] If the support module located at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass is partially covered by the irregularly shaped glass, the irregularly shaped glass can only press the main support rod 6. When only the main support rod 6 is pressed on the same support module, the main support rod 6 moves within the fixed guide seat 9. The movement of the main support rod 6 drives the drive rack 19 to move. Since the drive rack 19 meshes with the drive gear 15, the movement of the drive rack 19 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 15 drives the vertical shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up wheel 16 on the vertical shaft 14 to rotate. When the take-up wheel 16 rotates, it can wind up the wire 17. When the wire 17 is wound up, its end pulls the adaptation spring 18. When the adaptation spring 18 moves, it pulls the sleeve 12. When the sleeve 12 moves, it pulls the movable guide seat 10, which in turn causes the movable guide seat 10 to slide along the guide rail 11. The sliding of the movable guide seat 10 will compress the return spring 29 and drive the secondary support rod 7 to move, which in turn causes the secondary support rod 7 to gradually approach the irregularly shaped glass to be supported. During the process of supporting the edge, when the housing 12 is pulled by the adapting spring 18, since the limiting rack 21 is vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 12, the movement of the housing 12 will also drive the limiting rack 21 and the locking block 22 at the bottom of the limiting rack 21 to move. When the locking block 22 moves, it is pressed against the limiting ratchet 20 and then moves, and is reset under the elastic force of the stop spring 23, thereby realizing the dynamic engagement of the locking block 22 and the limiting ratchet 20; finally, when it contacts the edge of the irregular glass, the secondary support When the support rod 7 stops moving, the movable guide seat 10 and the housing 12 also cannot continue to move. When the housing 12 is stationary, the locking block 22 at the bottom of the limiting rack 21 and the limiting ratchet 20 re-establish a stable locking effect. Meanwhile, the wire 17 that continues to be wound will stretch the adaptation spring 18. When the adaptation spring 18 is stretched, it generates a pulling force on the housing 12 and the movable guide seat 10, causing the secondary support rod 7 inside the movable guide seat 10 to be tightly attached to the edge of the irregular glass to be supported.

[0076] After the irregular glass processing is completed, when the irregular glass is separated from the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7, the elastic force of the main return spring 38 and the auxiliary return spring 39 respectively drives the main support rod 6 and the auxiliary support rod 7 to reset. The movable guide seat 10 and the auxiliary support rod 7 after the movement remain in the engaged state when supporting the irregular glass. When the support module moves to the back of the mounting frame 41 with the chain 45, the protrusion 27 at the top of the reset rack 25 contacts the edge of the reset plate 28. At this time, the second inclined surface presses against the first inclined surface, causing the reset rack 25 to move downward. When the reset rack 25 moves downward, it drives the transmission gear 26 to rotate. When the transmission gear 26 rotates, it drives the limiting rack 21 to move upward. When the limiting rack 21 moves upward, the locking block 22 at its bottom no longer engages with the limiting ratchet 20. Then, the elastic force of the reset spring 29 pushes the movable guide seat 10 to slide and reset. The sliding reset of the movable guide seat 10 can drive the auxiliary support rod 7 to reset.

[0077] By setting multiple support modules on the drive conveyor 4, and installing movable main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7 on the support modules, when the irregularly shaped glass is processed and leans against the support frame 3, it can press down some of the main support rods 6 and secondary support rods 7. The main support rods 6 or secondary support rods 7 that are not pressed down at the edge of the irregularly shaped glass can provide a continuous and stable support effect, thereby effectively preventing the irregularly shaped glass from tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity, thus ensuring high safety. By setting a transmission component, when the irregularly shaped glass only presses down on the main support rod 6, it can drive the secondary support rod 7 to move and fit against the edge of the irregularly shaped glass. This can avoid gaps between the edge of the irregularly shaped glass to be supported and the secondary support rod 7, which helps to avoid the phenomenon of slight tilting of the irregularly shaped glass due to gaps, ensuring the horizontal state of the edge to be processed at the bottom of the irregularly shaped glass, and improving the edge grinding accuracy. Supporting irregularly shaped glass in this way can reduce the number of workers and save labor costs.
