Technical Field

[0002] In the glass processing, after cutting, the glass usually needs to go through a splitting process to separate the cut glass into the required size and shape. Usually, a piece of glass has more than one cutting line, which is divided into horizontal cutting lines and vertical cutting lines. Moreover, the horizontal and vertical cutting lines on some glass need to be split alternately.

The discharge table is rotatably mounted on the base and has multiple electric rollers arranged in multiple rows and columns. The multiple electric rollers roll in the same direction to drive the glass substrate located on the electric rollers to move. The rotation drive mechanism is connected to the base and is used to drive the discharge table to rotate so that the outlet of the discharge table is connected to the discharge conveyor belt or the next adjacent breaking mechanism.
