Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to an intelligent glass cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with the addition of small amounts of auxiliary materials. Its main component is silicon dioxide and other oxides. Glass has a wide range of applications, including as a screen protector for mobile phones. To ensure that the screen protector is compatible with the corresponding mobile phone model, it is necessary to use a cutting device to cut the glass sheet.

[0028] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent glass splitting device, including a splitting table 1, an operating table 2, and a trajectory generation component 3. The operating table 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the splitting table 1. The trajectory generation component 3 is located at the top of the center position of the operating table 2. The trajectory generation component 3 includes a light-shielding plate 301, a sealed outer shell 302 fixedly installed on the top of the light-shielding plate 301, and a light source 303 installed on the top of the light-shielding plate 301 and mounted on the inner wall of the sealed outer shell 302. A forming groove 4 is formed on the light-shielding plate 301, and a guide glass frame 5 is fixedly installed in the forming groove 4. Mounting plates 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the light-shielding plate 301. Adjusting cylinders 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the splitting table 1.

Positioning cylinders 24 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting frames 22. The mounting bracket 22 is fixedly installed on the output end of the positioning cylinder 24. The glass plate can be fixed by the limiting block 23. A laser thickness gauge 25 is set on the top of one end of the mounting bracket 22.

The light source 303 is used to irradiate inside the sealed shell 302. When the light passes through the guide glass frame 5 in the forming groove 4, it can irradiate the enlarged shape of the forming groove 4 onto the glass plate. At this time, the light on the glass plate forms a rectangular outline and its length and width are in a certain proportion to the length and width of the mobile phone screen. By controlling the adjusting cylinder 7, the mounting plate 6 and the light shield 301 can be moved up and down. Therefore, the outline position and area can be controlled, so that the outline can be adjusted to meet the needs of different sized mobile phone screens.

The X-axis drive mechanism 901 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the processing tank 8, and the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 is installed on the X-axis drive mechanism 901. A laser generator 10 is installed on the Y-axis drive mechanism 902. Four mounting protrusions 11 are installed on the edge of the laser generator 10. A first photosensitive sensor 12, a second photosensitive sensor 13, a third photosensitive sensor 14, and a fourth photosensitive sensor 15 are respectively installed on the mounting protrusions 11. The photosensitive sensor 15, adjusting cylinder 7, first photosensitive sensor 12, second photosensitive sensor 13, third photosensitive sensor 14, and fourth photosensitive sensor 15 are evenly arranged on the four sides of the laser generator 10 with the center position as the center. The tops of the first photosensitive sensor 12, second photosensitive sensor 13, third photosensitive sensor 14, and fourth photosensitive sensor 15 are all set on the same horizontal plane as the top of the operating platform 2. A control panel 16 is set on the front side of the dividing table 1, and an interactive terminal 17 is set on the control panel 16. The intelligent controller 18, along with the first photosensitive sensor 12, the second photosensitive sensor 13, the third photosensitive sensor 14, and the fourth photosensitive sensor 15, are all electrically connected to the intelligent controller 18. The intelligent controller 18 is electrically connected to the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 902. An installation cavity is formed inside the inner wall of the operating platform 2, and an adjusting cylinder 19 is fixedly installed within the cavity. One end of the adjusting cylinder 19 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the X-axis drive mechanism 901. The adjusting cylinder 19 is electrically connected to the intelligent controller 18. The adjusting cylinder... The drive assembly 9 and laser generator 10 can be adjusted to move to the initial cutting position. A receiving groove is provided at the center of the inner wall of the processing groove 8, and a pad 20 is placed inside the receiving groove. A placement cavity is provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove, and a push cylinder 21 is fixedly installed inside the placement cavity. The bottom of the pad 20 is installed on the output end of the push cylinder 21. The drive assembly 9 can control the movement of the laser generator 10 on the X and Y axes. The intelligent controller 18 can control the braking sequence of the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 902, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 complete the drive operation in a clockwise direction. Under the control of the intelligent controller 18, after two adjacent photosensitive sensors simultaneously sense the light information, they can automatically control the direction of rotation, thereby completing the entire cutting process.
[0031] In the specific implementation of this invention, the length, width, and thickness dimensions of the product are first entered into the intelligent controller. During processing, the glass plate is placed on the operating table 2, completely covering the outside of the processing groove 8. Then, the positioning cylinders 24 on both sides are activated. The positioning cylinders 24 can push the positioning blocks downward, thus fixing the glass from both sides. The length and width of the forming groove 4 on the light shield 301 are proportionally reduced according to the length and width of the mobile phone screen. The light source 303 illuminates the inside of the sealed shell 302. When the light passes through the guide glass frame 5 inside the forming groove 4, it can illuminate the enlarged shape of the forming groove 4 onto the glass plate. At this time, the glass plate... The light forms a rectangular outline with its length and width proportional to the length and width of the mobile phone screen. Simultaneously, the thickness of the glass plate is detected by a laser thickness gauge 25. After measuring the glass plate thickness, the intelligent controller 18 automatically adjusts the length and width dimensions based on the input size information. Then, it controls the adjusting cylinder 7 to move the mounting plate 6 and the light-shielding plate 301 up and down, thus controlling the outline position and area to ensure the light outline illuminates the glass plate when it conforms to the outline of different sized mobile phone screens. Simultaneously, the intelligent controller 18 controls the adjusting cylinder 19 based on the length data to push the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 to a position such that… Figure 7At the bottom of the light contour shown, the laser generator 10 is activated, generating a laser beam to cut the glass. The first photosensitive sensor 12, the second photosensitive sensor 13, the third photosensitive sensor 14, and the fourth photosensitive sensor 15 are all in contact with the bottom of the glass plate. When any one of these sensors detects light information, it triggers the drive assembly 9 via the intelligent controller 18. The drive sequence is clockwise. At this time, the first and third photosensitive sensors 12 and 14 sense the light, and the drive assembly 9 first controls the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 to move upwards. The laser cutter cuts the glass along the light contour. Subsequently, when the laser cutter moves to the end of the light contour, the first and fourth photosensitive sensors 12 and 15 simultaneously sense the light information, and the intelligent controller 18 shuts down the Y-axis drive mechanism. 902 and start the X-axis drive mechanism 901 to move to the right. When cutting to the upper right end of the light contour, the first photosensitive sensor 12 and the second photosensitive sensor 13 can simultaneously sense the light information. The intelligent controller 18 can turn off the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and start the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 to move downward. When cutting to the lower right end of the light contour, the second photosensitive sensor 13 and the third photosensitive sensor 14 can simultaneously sense the light information. The intelligent controller 18 can turn off the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 and start the X-axis drive mechanism 901 to move to the left. When cutting to the lower left end of the light contour, the third photosensitive sensor 14 and the fourth photosensitive sensor 15 can simultaneously sense the light information. The intelligent controller 18 can turn off the X-axis drive mechanism 901 and start the Y-axis drive mechanism 902 to move upward. At the same time, the pad 20 should be pushed upward to the bottom of the glass plate by pushing the hydraulic cylinder 21. After the laser emitter moves to the initial starting point, the cutting is completed.
