Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of glass edging machines, and specifically to a fully automatic glass edging machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of social productivity, the demand for square glass has been increasing. After the glass is formed, it needs to be edged. Conventional manual edge grinding can no longer meet production needs, so glass edge grinding machines have emerged. Existing glass edge grinding machines all use a conveyor to transport the glass, and then the edge grinding mechanisms located on both sides of the conveyor simultaneously grind both sides of the glass. Since it does not require manual operation, its production efficiency has been improved to a certain extent.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the grinding wheel in the edge grinding mechanism needs to be replaced frequently due to high-intensity work. In the existing technology, the replacement of grinding wheels is mostly done manually, which has a poor degree of automation. Moreover, since the grinding wheel has a certain degree of danger, there is a risk of injury when replacing the grinding wheel manually. In addition, the torque limiter used for grinding wheel installation in the existing technology is only used to provide torque, so it is only suitable for the installation of grinding wheels. The removal of grinding wheels requires an additional locking device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems and aims to provide a fully automatic glass edging machine that can automatically change the grinding wheel, improving replacement efficiency and safety. Furthermore, the grinding wheel can be installed and removed using a single limiter assembly, saving costs and reducing overall space requirements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a fully automatic glass edging machine, comprising a frame and a conveying mechanism and an edging mechanism located on the frame. Multiple processing stations are provided on the frame on both symmetrical sides of the conveying mechanism, and the multiple edging mechanisms are respectively located at the multiple processing stations. The machine also includes:

[0006] The loading and unloading mechanism and the grinding wheel replacement mechanism are provided. The loading and unloading mechanism is movably disposed between the grinding wheel replacement mechanism and the edge grinding mechanism. When the loading and unloading mechanism is located at the edge grinding mechanism, it is used to install the grinding wheel onto the edge grinding mechanism or remove the grinding wheel from the edge grinding mechanism. When the loading and unloading mechanism is located at the grinding wheel replacement mechanism, it is used to place the grinding wheel onto the loading and unloading mechanism or remove the grinding wheel from the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0007] The grinding wheel replacement mechanism includes a storage component and an adsorption component. The adsorption component includes an adsorption element that is movably disposed between the storage component and the loading and unloading mechanism. The adsorption element is used to adsorb the grinding wheel located on the loading and unloading mechanism onto the storage component or to adsorb the grinding wheel located on the storage component onto the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0008] According to the above-described fully automatic glass edging machine, a first guide rail is provided on both symmetrical sides of the frame. The first guide rail is arranged on the frame along the length direction of the frame, and the loading and unloading mechanism is movably arranged on the first guide rail.

[0009] The storage component includes a rotatable wheel mounted on the first guide rail and a stacking bin located below the wheel. The wheel has unloading positions and wheel storage positions arranged circumferentially thereon. Grinding wheels are placed in multiple wheel storage positions. The unloading positions are provided with through slots. When the unloading position rotates to be directly above the stacking bin, the through slots communicate with the stacking bin to expose the stacking bin.

[0010] According to the above-described fully automatic glass edging machine, when the unloading wheel position rotates to directly above the stacking bin, the adsorption component can be used to adsorb the grinding wheel located on the loading and unloading mechanism into the stacking bin; when the wheel storage position rotates to directly above the stacking bin, the adsorption component can be used to adsorb the grinding wheel located on the wheel storage position onto the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0011] According to the fully automatic glass edging machine described above, the adsorption assembly further includes a horizontal drive cylinder and a lifting cylinder. The adsorption element is an electromagnet, the lifting cylinder is fixed on the piston rod of the horizontal drive cylinder, and the electromagnet is fixed at the bottom of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder.

[0012] According to the fully automatic glass edging machine described above, the frame is also provided with multiple loading and unloading stations, each of which corresponds to one of the processing stations, and the loading and unloading stations are located directly below the processing stations.

[0013] The loading and unloading mechanism includes a mounting bracket assembly, a limiter assembly, and a clamping assembly. The mounting bracket assembly is movably mounted on the first guide rail, the limiter assembly is movably disposed on the mounting bracket assembly, and the clamping assembly is fixed on the edge grinding mechanism.

[0014] According to the above-described fully automatic glass edging machine, the limiter assembly includes a housing, a rotating shaft rotatably disposed within the housing at its lower end, a friction block connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft, and a friction disc fixed within the housing. The friction block is located in the middle of the friction disc and can abut against the friction disc. The clamping assembly includes a positioning plate that can be sleeved on the upper end of the rotating shaft, a positioning bolt located on the positioning plate, and a positioning sleeve fixed on the edging mechanism. The grinding wheel can be sleeved on the upper end of the positioning bolt.

[0015] When the positioning sleeve rotates in the first direction, it can be screwed into the upper end of the positioning bolt to cooperate with the positioning plate to clamp the grinding wheel. When the positioning sleeve rotates in the second direction, it can disengage from the positioning bolt to unlock the grinding wheel.

[0016] According to the fully automatic glass edging machine described above, the friction disc has a first through hole in the middle, and a locking groove is formed on the inner wall of the first through hole. The locking groove has a first side wall and a second side wall. The first side wall is a guide slope, and the second side wall is a locking surface. When the rotational force of the positioning plate acting on the rotating shaft is greater than the frictional force between the friction block and the friction disc, the positioning plate can drive the rotating shaft to rotate in a first direction or a second direction. When the positioning plate drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the second direction, the friction block can enter the locking groove along the guide slope and abut against the locking surface to lock the rotating shaft.

[0017] According to the fully automatic glass edging machine described above, the limiter assembly further includes a turntable, which is fixed on the lower end of the rotating shaft and located inside the first through hole. The turntable is provided with two symmetrically arranged limiting grooves, and the two friction blocks are respectively located in the two limiting grooves. The inner side of the friction block is connected to the turntable through a first spring, and the first spring is in a compressed state and is used to drive the friction block to abut against the inner wall of the first through hole.

[0018] According to the fully automatic glass edging machine described above, the limiter assembly further includes a connecting bearing and a second spring. The connecting bearing is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and connected to the friction disc. One end of the second spring is connected to the base of the friction disc, and the other end of the second spring is connected to the bottom of the housing.

[0019] According to the above-described fully automatic glass edging machine, the edging mechanism includes a drive assembly and a grinding wheel. The drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder and a drive motor. The drive motor is vertically and vertically mounted at the processing station via the lifting cylinder. The positioning sleeve is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. A new grinding wheel can be placed on the wheel disc. When the grinding wheel needs to be replaced in the edge grinding mechanism, the grinding wheel on the edge grinding mechanism is removed by the loading and unloading mechanism and driven to one side of the grinding wheel replacement mechanism. Then, it is attracted by the electromagnet in the adsorption component and driven into the stacking bin. The electromagnet is then used to attract the grinding wheel on the wheel disc and place it on the loading and unloading mechanism. The loading and unloading mechanism then moves to the bottom of the edge grinding mechanism and finally completes the assembly. This can realize the automatic assembly of the entire grinding wheel, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the operation risk.

[0022] 2. The loading and unloading mechanism includes a limiter assembly and a clamping assembly. The limiter assembly includes a rotating shaft, a friction block, and a friction disc. A locking groove is provided on the friction disc. The clamping assembly includes a positioning plate, a positioning bolt, and a positioning sleeve. The positioning plate can be sleeved on the upper end of the rotating shaft. The positioning sleeve is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor of the grinding mechanism and is driven to rotate by the output shaft of the drive motor. During the assembly of the grinding wheel, the drive motor descends, causing the positioning sleeve to descend and simultaneously rotate in the first direction. At this time, the positioning sleeve can be screwed onto the positioning bolt. Therefore, the drive motor cannot accurately determine when to stop. If rotation continues after clamping, the force will... The friction force is applied to the rotating shaft, which overcomes the friction between the friction block and the friction disc, allowing the rotating shaft to rotate and preventing damage to the positioning sleeve. After stopping, the drive motor drives the grinding wheel to rise. During the disassembly of the grinding wheel, the drive motor drives the positioning plate to descend and fit onto the upper end of the rotating shaft, and then drives the positioning sleeve to rotate in the second direction. The positioning sleeve drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the second direction, and the friction block on the rotating shaft will enter the locking groove and abut against the locking surface of the locking groove, restricting the rotating shaft from continuing to rotate. This allows the positioning sleeve to be unscrewed from the positioning bolt, thus unlocking the grinding wheel. The assembly and disassembly of the grinding wheel can be achieved through a single limiter assembly, which can save costs.

[0023] 3. The friction disc, rotating shaft, and friction block can float up and down via the second spring, which facilitates the positioning sleeve to fit with the grinding wheel and ensures the positioning accuracy of the grinding wheel. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention. However, the invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a fully automatic glass edging machine includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, an edging mechanism, a loading and unloading mechanism 4, and a grinding wheel changing mechanism 5 located on the frame 1. The conveying mechanism 2 is arranged along the length of the frame 1, and processing stations are provided on the frame 1 on both sides symmetrically opposite to the conveying mechanism 2. Multiple edging mechanisms are located on multiple processing stations. During processing, the glass is placed on the conveying mechanism 2 and driven forward by the conveying mechanism 2. Multiple edging mechanisms simultaneously edge both sides of the glass symmetrically. The grinding wheel changing mechanism 5 and the loading and unloading mechanism 4 can automatically change the grinding wheels 32 of the multiple edging mechanisms, realizing the full automation of the entire glass edging process, improving processing efficiency, and reducing the risks associated with manual operation.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes two conveying platform assemblies and a support platform assembly. Both conveying platform assemblies are movably mounted on the frame 1, and the distance between the two conveying platform assemblies can be adjusted to accommodate glass of different widths and enhance its adaptability. The support platform assembly is located between the two conveying platform assemblies and is used to provide support for the middle of the glass to prevent stress concentration on both sides of the glass from causing damage.

[0040] Specifically, the loading and unloading mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the frame 1 and can move between the grinding wheel replacement mechanism 5 and the edge grinding mechanism. When the loading and unloading mechanism 4 is located at the edge grinding mechanism, it is used to install the grinding wheel 32 onto the edge grinding mechanism or remove the grinding wheel 32 from the edge grinding mechanism. When the loading and unloading mechanism 4 is located at the grinding wheel replacement mechanism 5, it can be used to place the grinding wheel 32 onto the loading and unloading mechanism 4 or remove the grinding wheel 32 from the loading and unloading mechanism 4. That is, the loading and unloading mechanism 4 plays the role of transporting the grinding wheel 32. At the same time, the loading and unloading mechanism 4 can also be used to install or remove the grinding wheel 32 for the edge grinding mechanism.

[0041] Specifically, the grinding wheel replacement mechanism 5 includes a storage component 51 and an adsorption component 52. The adsorption component 52 includes an adsorption element, a transverse drive cylinder 522, and a lifting cylinder 523. The adsorption element is movably disposed between the storage component 51 and the loading / unloading mechanism 4 via the transverse drive cylinder 522 and the lifting cylinder 523 to realize the recovery of the grinding wheel 32 on the loading / unloading mechanism 4 or the placement of a new grinding wheel 32 on the loading / unloading mechanism 4. That is, it is used to adsorb the grinding wheel 32 located on the loading / unloading mechanism 4 onto the storage component 51 or to adsorb the grinding wheel 32 located on the storage component 51 onto the loading / unloading mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the adsorption element is set to be electromagnetic. Iron 521, wherein a transverse drive cylinder 522 is arranged horizontally between the storage component 51 and the loading and unloading mechanism 4, a lifting cylinder 523 is fixed on the piston rod of the transverse drive cylinder 522, and an electromagnet 521 is fixed on the bottom of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The transverse drive cylinder 522 can drive the lifting cylinder 523 and the electromagnet 521 to move laterally, and the lifting cylinder 523 can drive the electromagnet to move up and down, so as to achieve the adsorption and release of the grinding wheel 32. Of course, the adsorption component can also be a vacuum suction cup or other adsorption component, and the cylinder can also be a hydraulic cylinder or a motor, which should not exceed the scope of this application.

[0042] The storage component 51 includes a wheel 511 and a stacking bin 512 located below one side of the wheel 511. First guide rails 11 are provided on both sides of the frame 1 symmetrically. The first guide rails 11 are arranged on the frame 1 along the length direction of the frame 1. The loading and unloading mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the first guide rails 11 to facilitate the movement of the loading and unloading mechanism 4. The wheel 511 is rotatably mounted on the first guide rails 11, and multiple grinding wheels 32 can be placed on the wheel 511 to provide intact grinding wheels 32 for the loading and unloading mechanism 4.

[0043] To ensure the displacement accuracy of the adsorption component and move it to a fixed position, the wheel disk 511 is provided with unloading positions and wheel storage positions arranged circumferentially. There are multiple wheel storage positions, and each wheel storage position is provided with a positioning shaft. The grinding wheel 32 has a positioning hole in the middle, so the grinding wheel 32 can be movably placed on multiple wheel storage positions through the positioning shaft. The unloading position is provided with a through groove 511a. When the unloading position rotates to be directly above the stacking bin 512, the through groove 511a communicates with the stacking bin 512 to expose the stacking bin 512. That is, when the unloading position rotates to be directly above the stacking bin 512, the adsorption component can be used to adsorb the grinding wheel 32 located on the loading and unloading mechanism 4 into the stacking bin 512. When the wheel storage position rotates to be directly above the stacking bin 512, the adsorption component can be used to adsorb the grinding wheel 32 located on the wheel storage position onto the loading and unloading mechanism 4. That is, the adsorption component only needs to move to be directly above the stacking bin 512 each time in the horizontal direction.

[0044] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the grinding wheel 32 on the edge grinding mechanism, multiple loading and unloading stations are provided on the frame 1. Each loading and unloading station corresponds to a processing station and is located directly below the processing station. The loading and unloading mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame assembly 41, a limiter assembly 42, and a clamping assembly 43. The mounting frame assembly 41 provides support for the limiter assembly 42 and the clamping assembly 43. The mounting frame assembly 41 is movably mounted on the first guide rail 11 and can slide along the first guide rail 11 to drive the limiter assembly 42 to move. The limiter assembly 42 is movably mounted on the mounting frame assembly 41 and can move to one of the loading and unloading stations to facilitate the replacement of the grinding wheel 32 on the edge grinding mechanism. The clamping assembly 43 is used to clamp the grinding wheel 32, so it can be fixed on the edge grinding mechanism to fix the grinding wheel 32 to the edge grinding mechanism.

[0045] The limiter assembly 42 includes a housing 421, a rotating shaft 422, a friction block 423, and a friction disk 424. The friction disk 424 is fixed inside the housing 421. The lower end of the rotating shaft 422 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 421. The friction block 423 is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 422 and is located in the middle of the friction disk 424, and can abut against the friction disk 424. Since the friction block 423 abuts against the friction disk 424, when the rotating shaft 422 is rotated, it is necessary to overcome the friction between the friction block 423 and the friction disk 424, thereby providing torque for the rotation of the rotating shaft 422.

[0046] The clamping assembly 43 includes a positioning plate 431, a positioning bolt 432, and a positioning sleeve 433. The positioning bolt 432 is located on the positioning plate 431, and the positioning plate 431 can be sleeved on the upper end of the rotating shaft 422. This sleeve allows the positioning plate 431 to move up and down relative to the rotating shaft 422 and can synchronously drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate. In this embodiment, a polygonal connecting hole is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 422, and a downwardly protruding polygonal connecting shaft is provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 431. The polygonal connecting shaft can be inserted into the polygonal connecting hole to meet its movement requirements. During use, or when the adsorption component drives the grinding wheel 32 onto the clamping assembly 43, the grinding wheel 32 can be sleeved on the outside of the positioning bolt 432, while the positioning sleeve 433 is fixed on the outside of the positioning bolt 432. On the edge grinding mechanism, the edge grinding mechanism can drive the positioning sleeve 433 to rotate. When the grinding wheel 32 is installed, it can drive the grinding wheel 32 to rotate to achieve edge grinding. During the installation of the grinding wheel 32, the edge grinding mechanism can drive the positioning sleeve 433 to rotate in the first direction. The positioning sleeve 433 can be screwed into the upper end of the positioning bolt 432 to cooperate with the positioning plate 431 to clamp the grinding wheel 32. After clamping, the positioning plate 431 and the grinding wheel 32 are driven to rise to the processing position. During the disassembly of the grinding wheel 32, the edge grinding mechanism first lowers and drives the positioning plate 431 to connect with the rotating shaft 422, and then drives the positioning sleeve 433 to rotate in the second direction, so that the positioning sleeve 433 is screwed out from the outside of the positioning bolt 432, so that it can be disengaged from the positioning bolt 432 to unlock the grinding wheel 32.

[0047] To ensure that the positioning bolt 432 remains stationary when the positioning sleeve 433 rotates in the second direction, allowing the positioning sleeve 433 to be unscrewed, a first through hole is provided in the middle of the friction disk 424. A locking groove 424a is formed on the inner wall of the first through hole. The locking groove 424a has a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is a guide slope 424b, and the second sidewall is a locking surface 424c. When the rotational force exerted by the positioning plate 431 on the rotating shaft 422 is greater than the frictional force between the friction block 423 and the friction disk 424, the positioning plate 431 can drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate in either the first or second direction. When the grinding wheel 32 is installed, the rotational force applied to the rotating shaft 422 is relatively small. When the bottom surface of the guide sleeve abuts against the top surface of the grinding wheel 32, continued rotation of the guide sleeve will cause it to further compress the grinding wheel 32, easily leading to damage. At this point, the rotational force exerted by the guide sleeve on the positioning bolt 432 increases, thus... The increased force acting on the rotating shaft 422 overcomes friction and drives the rotating shaft 422 to rotate in the first direction, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the positioning bolt 432 and avoiding damage to the guide sleeve. When disassembling the grinding wheel 32, the grinding mechanism drives the guide sleeve to rotate in the second direction, and the positioning plate 431 drives the rotating shaft 422 to rotate in the second direction. The friction block 423 can enter the locking groove 424a along the guide slope 424b and abut against the locking surface 424c to lock the rotating shaft 422. After the rotating shaft 422 is locked, the positioning plate 431 and the positioning bolt 432 are also locked. Under the premise that the positioning bolt 432 cannot rotate, the guide sleeve can rotate in the second direction to make the guide sleeve unscrew the positioning bolt 432. Therefore, in this embodiment, the limiter assembly 42 can not only provide torque force for the installation of the grinding wheel 32 to ensure its normal installation and safety performance, but also provide a locking effect for the disassembly of the grinding wheel 32.

[0048] Specifically, the limiter assembly 42 also includes a turntable 425, a connecting bearing 426, and a second spring. The turntable 425 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 422 and located within the first through hole. The turntable 425 has two symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 425a, and two friction blocks 423 are respectively located within the two limiting grooves 425a. The turntable 425 restricts the lateral movement of the friction blocks 423 relative to the turntable 425, allowing them to move only along the diameter of the first through hole. The inner side of the friction blocks 423 is connected to the turntable 425 via the first spring. The first spring is in a compressed state and drives the friction blocks 423 to abut against the inner wall of the first through hole. The elastic force applied by the first spring acts on the friction blocks 423, keeping them in abutting state, thereby continuously grinding the grinding wheel 3. 2. To provide torque, and to ensure that the guide sleeve on the motor fits against the grinding wheel 32, the connecting bearing 426 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 422 and connected to the friction disk 424. That is, the connection between the rotating shaft 422 and the friction disk 424 is achieved through the connecting bearing 426. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the outer shell 421 is provided with a keyway in the vertical direction, and the outer side of the friction disk 424 is provided with a key that matches the keyway. The key can be inserted into the keyway and at the same time ensure the up and down movement of the friction disk 424. One end of the second spring is connected to the base of the friction disk 424, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 421. By using the second spring to provide support for the friction disk 424, when the guide sleeve descends, it is not necessary to accurately determine whether to squeeze the grinding wheel 32, and it can fit against the grinding wheel 32 to the maximum extent.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket assembly 41 includes a mounting bracket, a transverse drive motor 311, and a front and rear drive motor 311. A rack is provided on the frame 1. The transverse drive motor 311 is mounted on the mounting bracket, and a gear that can mesh with the rack is provided on the output shaft of the transverse drive motor 311. A second guide rail is provided on the mounting bracket, and the limiter assembly is movably mounted on the second guide rail. The front and rear drive motors 311 are used to drive the limiter assembly to move in the front and rear direction.

[0050] Specifically, the edge grinding mechanism includes a drive assembly 31 and a grinding wheel 32. The drive assembly 31 includes a lifting cylinder 312 and a drive motor 311. The drive motor 311 is vertically mounted at the processing station via the lifting cylinder 312. The positioning sleeve 433 is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor 311. The lifting cylinder 312 is used to drive the drive motor 311 and the grinding wheel 32 to move up and down. After the grinding wheel 32 is clamped by the positioning sleeve 433 and the positioning plate 431, the drive motor 311 can drive the grinding wheel 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the edge grinding action.
