TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of cover plate glass processing, in particular to a cover plate glass precise cutting processing device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cover plate glass is a glass product processed and treated for special purposes, usually having a specific size and thickness, and is often used to cover, protect or decorate various surfaces. The cover plate glass of a mobile phone screen is a layer of glass material covering the display of the mobile phone, used to protect the display and provide the surface for user interaction with the device, which is specially treated and has advantages such as scratch resistance, impact resistance, high transparency, touch sensitivity, etc.
[0003] During the processing of cover plate glass, many processing procedures are required, such as edge cutting, edge breaking, chamfering, edge grinding, etc. Precise cutting of the glass raw material according to the specific requirements and size of the use scene is an important step. The edges of the cut cover plate glass may have burrs or corners, and the edges of the cut cover plate glass are relatively fragile and have the risk of breaking, so post-processing is required for the cut cover plate glass.
[0004] The common post-processing methods for the cut cover plate glass include edge polishing and chemical soaking. The edge polishing process mostly includes rough polishing, using relatively coarse abrasive to preliminarily polish the edges of the cover plate glass to remove burrs and sharp corners, making the edges smooth. Next, the medium polishing is performed, using abrasive of appropriate particle size to further polish the edges to make them more flat and uniform. Finally, fine polishing is performed, using finer abrasive for the final polishing to achieve the required smoothness and texture. Improper control of polishing action or improper selection of abrasive during edge polishing may cause scratches, damage or uneven polishing effect on the surface of the cover plate glass. Chemical soaking has certain advantages compared to edge polishing for cover plate glass with high quality requirements.
[0005] During the chemical soaking process, a specific chemical solution is used to react with the glass surface to form a uniform and dense protective film on the glass surface. This film can fill the microscopic pores and micro-defects on the glass surface, making the surface smoother. At the same time, some ions on the glass surface will exchange with the ions in the solution, changing the chemical composition and structure of the glass surface and improving its hardness and wear resistance. For the cut cover plate glass, burrs and corners are prone to occur at the cutting site, i.e. the edges of the cover plate glass. Therefore, only the edges of the cover plate glass need to be chemically soaked. The existing chemical soaking process mostly places the entire glass in a soaking tank, and after soaking is completed, cleaning, drying and other procedures are performed, which is a complicated process with serious waste. Moreover, batch operation cannot be achieved, and the work efficiency is low. SUMMARY
