Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid crystal glass substrate production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic blade pressure adjustment device for cutting liquid crystal glass substrates. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid crystal glass (LCD) is a special type of glass with a liquid crystal molecular structure, and its optical properties can be altered by an electric field. LCDs are widely used in optical display technology, such as in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and liquid crystal projectors. The main components of LCDs are silicates or borosilicates, and their chemical composition is similar to that of ordinary glass. However, LCDs acquire liquid crystal properties by adding a layer or film of liquid crystal molecules. Liquid crystal molecules are long, elongated organic compounds with dipolarity, and their arrangement and optical properties can be altered under the influence of an electric field. The working principle of LCDs is based on changes in the arrangement and orientation of liquid crystal molecules. When LCDs are in the absence of an electric field, the liquid crystal molecules are usually arranged in an ordered manner, causing light to be polarized as it passes through. However, when an electric field is applied, the liquid crystal molecules undergo an orientation change, leading to a change in the polarization direction of the light, thus achieving optical modulation of the liquid crystal. In liquid crystal display technology, LCDs are commonly used as the substrate for LCD displays. The liquid crystal molecular layer is located between two pieces of glass, and the effect of the electric field is controlled by a transparent conductive layer. When an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules changes, thereby controlling the transmission and blocking of light and realizing the adjustment of the brightness and color of the pixels. Liquid crystal glass has many advantages, including low power consumption, high contrast, wide viewing angle, and thinness. In the production and manufacturing process of liquid crystal substrate glass, the edge plate (the feed part) of the glass needs to be cut.
[0003] However, existing edge plate cutting processes for LCD substrate glass suffer from the following problems: Due to wear and tear on the cutting head during the cutting process, prolonged operation can lead to insufficient or shallow contact between the cutting head and the glass surface, resulting in shallow markings and the inability to break the edge plate. Traditional methods of adjusting the air pressure of the cutting head cylinder via a speed control valve cannot achieve precise adjustment of the cutting pressure. Manual adjustment of the cutting pressure or replacement of the cutting head will interrupt production, causing the loss of plates in the upstream process and resulting in significant economic losses. Therefore, a corresponding technical solution needs to be designed to address these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic blade pressure adjustment device for cutting liquid crystal glass substrates. This device solves the problem that due to wear and tear on the cutting head during the cutting process, prolonged operation can lead to insufficient or shallow contact between the cutting head and the glass surface, resulting in shallow markings and the inability to break off edge plates. Traditional methods of adjusting the air pressure extended by the cutting head cylinder using a speed control valve cannot achieve precise blade pressure adjustment. Manual adjustment of blade pressure or replacement of the cutting head will interrupt production, causing board loss in upstream processes and significant economic losses. This technical problem is addressed by connecting a DA module to a 24V power supply. The electro-proportional valve is connected, and finally, the electro-proportional valve is connected to the cutter head mechanism. After the input signal is connected to the control circuit, it is transmitted to the air supply solenoid valve and the exhaust solenoid valve respectively. The air supply solenoid valve supplies pressure to the pilot valve and outputs pressure to the cutter head to control the extension of the cutter head. At the same time as the output pressure, the pressure sensor also receives the output pressure of the pilot valve and feeds it back to the control circuit. The control circuit receives the pressure signal and automatically corrects it according to the cutting condition after the cutter head wears, thereby achieving automatic control of the cutter head pressure, reducing product loss caused by manual adjustment of cutter pressure and cutter replacement, and thus achieving the purpose of automatic adjustment of cutter head pressure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic blade pressure adjustment device for cutting liquid crystal glass substrates, comprising three parts: a cutting blade mechanism, an electro-proportional valve, and a DA module. The cutting blade mechanism includes a blade and a cylinder. The electro-proportional valve is connected to the air inlet that controls the extension of the blade cylinder. The DA module is connected to the electro-proportional valve. The electro-proportional valve includes a signal input terminal, a power supply terminal, a control loop module, an air supply solenoid valve, an exhaust solenoid valve, a pilot valve, a diaphragm, and a pressure sensor. The signal input terminal and the power supply terminal are connected to the control loop module via a line. The control loop module transmits signals to the air supply solenoid valve and the exhaust solenoid valve, respectively. Both the air supply solenoid valve and the exhaust solenoid valve are connected to the pilot valve. The pilot valve delivers pressure to the blade and controls the blade extension. The pilot valve has a pilot chamber inside, and the diaphragm is located in the pilot chamber. The pressure sensor is connected to the pilot valve via a line. The pressure sensor receives the output pressure from the pilot valve and then feeds it back to the control loop module. The control loop module is also equipped with a pressure display and an output signal.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electric proportional valve is selected from either a 0-10V voltage input type or a 4-20mA current input type.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the DA module is selected as the Q64DAN model and can be connected to voltage output and current output, and the DA module is connected to a 24V power supply.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the exhaust solenoid valve is equipped with an exhaust port 1, which is used to exhaust gas externally.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pilot valve includes a valve body, an air supply port, an output port, a second exhaust port, an air supply valve, and an exhaust valve. The air supply port and the output port are respectively located on both sides of the valve body, the second exhaust port is located above the output port, the air supply valve is installed at the air supply port, and the exhaust valve is installed at the second exhaust port.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control loop module receives a pressure signal and then automatically corrects it based on the cutting condition after the cutter head wears down.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0012] 1. This invention optimizes the blade adjustment method for cutting liquid crystal glass substrates by designing an automatic blade pressure adjustment device. This device is equipped with an electro-proportional valve and a DA module on the cutting blade mechanism. The DA module is connected to a 24V power supply and then connected to the electro-proportional valve. Finally, the electro-proportional valve is connected to the air inlet that controls the extension of the blade cylinder. After the input signal is connected to the control circuit, it is transmitted to the air supply solenoid valve and the exhaust solenoid valve respectively. The air supply solenoid valve supplies pressure to the pilot valve and outputs pressure to the blade, controlling its extension. Simultaneously, the pressure sensor receives the output pressure from the pilot valve and feeds it back to the control circuit. Upon receiving the pressure signal, the control circuit automatically corrects (increases the output pressure) based on the cutting condition after blade wear, thereby achieving automatic control of the blade pressure and reducing product loss during manual blade pressure adjustment and blade replacement, thus achieving the purpose of automated blade pressure adjustment.
[0013] 2. The automatic blade pressure adjustment device designed in this invention can achieve the purpose of automatically adjusting the blade pressure of the cutting head, ensuring that the cutting head can still perform efficient and precise cutting of LCD glass even when the cutting head is worn out. Compared with the method of manually adjusting the blade pressure or replacing the cutting head, it is more automated and convenient. Attached Figure Description
