[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only an embodiment of a part of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 This embodiment provides a laser forming method for kitchen panel glass, including step S101, step S102, step S103 and step S104.

[0034] S101, configuring a style database required for kitchen panel glass molding, wherein the style database stores the styles required for kitchen panel glass molding, and the styles required for kitchen panel glass molding correspond to adapted laser engraving paths;

[0035] S102, controlling the product transmission mechanism of the laser engraving machine to transmit the kitchen panel glass to be formed to the laser engraving station, and controlling the laser engraving device of the laser engraving machine to laser engrave the kitchen panel glass to be formed at the laser engraving station along the laser engraving path;

[0036] S103, during the laser engraving process, controlling a water cooler disposed on one side of the laser engraving machine to perform cyclic cooling on the laser engraving device, so that the laser engraving device is kept within a safe temperature range for laser engraving;

[0037] S104, after the kitchen panel glass is engraved, control the product transmission mechanism of the laser engraving machine to transmit the engraved kitchen panel glass to a visual inspection station to perform defect detection on the engraved part to obtain a qualified engraved kitchen panel glass.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, by configuring a style database required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5, the style database stores the styles required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5, and the styles required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5 correspond to the adapted laser engraving paths, the product transmission mechanism of the laser laser engraving machine 1 is controlled to transmit the kitchen panel glass 5 to be molded to the laser engraving station, and the laser engraving device 13 of the laser laser engraving machine 1 is controlled to laser engrave the kitchen panel glass 5 to be molded at the laser engraving station with the laser engraving path. During the laser engraving process, the laser laser engraving machine is controlled to The water cooler 2 arranged on one side of 1 performs cyclic cooling on the laser engraving device 13 so that the laser engraving device 13 is kept within a safe temperature range for laser engraving. After the kitchen panel glass 5 is engraved and formed, the product transmission mechanism of the laser engraving machine 1 is controlled to transmit the engraved kitchen panel glass 5 to the visual inspection station for defect detection of the engraved part to obtain a qualified engraved kitchen panel glass 5, thereby avoiding mold production, avoiding the use of acid corrosion to generate waste liquid, reducing the processing and forming cost of the kitchen glass panel, and realizing environmentally friendly forming, and realizing convenient replacement and definition of textures, styles, and sizes.

[0039] In step S101, by pre-configuring a database containing a variety of styles, the engraving styles required for the kitchen panel glass 5 are stored, and the styles required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5 correspond to the adapted laser engraving paths, so that there is no need to manufacture additional physical engraving molds, avoiding the high cost of traditional mold manufacturing. It is understandable that in step S101, the database can store and call the engraving styles required for various kitchen panel glasses 5 in a digital way, without the need to make separate engraving molds for each style, and it is convenient and flexible to change the texture, style and size. At the same time, since no physical mold is required, the entire process avoids material waste and mold maintenance costs, and meets environmental protection requirements. Further, the styles required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5 include panel cutting shapes and / or panel engraving patterns and / or panel engraving texts; the panel cutting shapes correspond to the adapted shape laser engraving paths, the panel engraving patterns correspond to the adapted pattern laser engraving paths, and the panel engraving texts correspond to the adapted text laser engraving paths.

[0040] In step S102, laser engraving is used instead of the traditional etching process, and high-precision molding operations can be performed directly on the glass. Laser engraving does not need to contact the material, avoids the use of acidic etching processes, eliminates the generation of harmful waste liquids, and can produce kitchen panel glass 5 in an environmentally friendly manner. It should be noted that high temperatures during laser engraving may damage the engraving device and even affect the engraving accuracy. In step S103, the laser engraving device 13 is ensured to work at a safe temperature through cooling by the water cooler 2, thereby avoiding overheating of the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment. In step S104, after the laser engraving is completed, the engraving quality is automatically inspected at the visual inspection station (for example, the engraved product image is obtained through the visual inspection system 3 to analyze the defects of the engraved part), so that the defects of the engraved part can be quickly identified to ensure the production of qualified products, thereby reducing human detection errors and labor intensity and improving the product qualification rate.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the product transmission mechanism adopts a linear conveyor belt mechanism 10, and the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10 is arranged on the machine table 11 of the laser engraving machine 1; during the transmission process of the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10, the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is placed flat on the conveyor belt of the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10, and is transmitted to the laser engraving station through the conveyor belt. Further, the laser engraving station is provided with an in-position sensor and an alignment mechanism 12; the alignment mechanism 12 is located in the product transmission direction of the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10, and has an alignment plate surface 1220 perpendicular to the product transmission direction; when the in-position sensor detects that the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is in position, the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is controlled to collide and align with the alignment mechanism 12, so that the collision surface of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is kept parallel to the alignment plate surface 1220. Specifically, the laser engraving station is arranged on the conveyor belt of the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10, and the in-position sensor and the alignment mechanism 12 are arranged on the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10. It should be noted that, since the kitchen panel glass 5 belongs to a panel structure, and the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10 can achieve stable and accurate transmission, the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10 is used in this embodiment to ensure that the glass panel is stable and does not shake during the transmission process, and reduce the inaccurate engraving caused by glass shaking or deviation. In addition, compared with other transmission methods, the linear conveyor belt can ensure that the product is transmitted to the engraving station along a fixed path, reduce the complexity of the mechanical device, reduce the system failure rate, and improve the transmission efficiency. The kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is placed flat on the conveyor belt, which can avoid the instability of the glass such as tilting and flipping during the transmission process to the greatest extent, and reduce the risk of glass breakage or surface damage due to collision or vibration. Flat transmission also ensures that the surface of the glass is flat during laser engraving, which is conducive to the precise control of the engraving path. It should be noted that due to reasons such as feeding errors, when the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed arrives at the laser engraving station, different degrees of transmission deviation may occur, affecting the accuracy of laser engraving. In this embodiment, the alignment mechanism 12 is located in the product transmission direction of the linear conveyor mechanism 10, and has an alignment plate surface 1220 perpendicular to the product transmission direction. When the in-place sensor detects that the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is in place, the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is controlled to collide and align with the alignment mechanism 12, so that the collision surface of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed remains parallel to the alignment plate surface 1220, thereby correcting the transmission deviation and improving the accuracy and quality of engraving.

[0042] In some further preferred embodiments, the linear conveyor mechanism 10 includes a first conveyor belt 100 and a second conveyor belt 101 that are spaced apart from each other, a rotating shaft mechanism 102 that connects the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 between the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, a motor belt mechanism 103 that is connected to the rotating shaft mechanism 102 and drives the rotating shaft mechanism 102 to rotate, and a positioning clamping mechanism 104 that is arranged on the machine table 11 of the laser engraving machine 1; the first conveyor belt 100 and The second conveyor belt 101 is supported on the machine 11 by a plurality of supporting legs 105, and the motor belt mechanism 103 is arranged on the machine 11; when the rotating shaft mechanism 102 rotates, it drives the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 to move, so as to transmit the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed to the laser engraving station for collision alignment with the alignment mechanism 12, and correct the transmission deviation. After the collision alignment, the alignment clamping mechanism 104 clamps the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed after the transmission deviation is corrected for lateral alignment. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10 has a simple structure and good stability, which can ensure that the product is transmitted to the engraving station along a fixed path, reduce the complexity of the mechanical device, reduce the system failure rate, and improve the transmission efficiency. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the alignment clamping mechanism 104 in the linear conveyor belt mechanism 10 cooperates with the alignment mechanism 12 to realize the first collision alignment in the product transmission direction and the second clamping alignment on both sides of the product, thereby further improving the accuracy and quality of engraving. Among them, the first collision alignment is reflected in that when the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is in place, the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is collided and aligned with the alignment mechanism 12, so that the collision surface of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is parallel to the alignment plate surface 1220, thereby correcting the transmission deviation. The second clamping alignment on both sides of the product is reflected in that the alignment clamping mechanism 104 in the linear conveyor mechanism 10 clamps the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed after the transmission deviation is corrected for lateral alignment. The two consecutive alignments allow the kitchen panel glass 5 to be accurately parked at the laser engraving station, further improving the engraving accuracy and quality during laser engraving.Furthermore, the alignment clamping mechanism 104 includes a first slide rail 1040 and a second slide rail 1041 arranged in parallel and at intervals on the machine table 11, a first side alignment fixture 1042 and a second side alignment fixture 1043 respectively connected to the first slide rail 1040 and the second slide rail 1041 in a sliding manner, and a clamping alignment driving mechanism 1044 connecting the first side alignment fixture 1042 and the second side alignment fixture 1043; the first slide rail 1040 and the second slide rail 1041 are located below the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 and The clamping and alignment driving mechanism 1044 is disposed on the machine platform 11 and is located below the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, perpendicular to the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101; the first side alignment fixture 1042 and the second side alignment fixture 1043 are located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, and are driven by the clamping and alignment driving mechanism 1044 to simultaneously approach the two side edges of the kitchen utensil panel glass 5 to be formed, so as to align and clamp the kitchen utensil panel glass 5 to be formed. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first slide rail 1040 and the second slide rail 1041 are located below the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 and are perpendicular to the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, and the clamping alignment drive mechanism 1044 is arranged on the machine platform 11 and is located below the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, so as to make full use of the height space formed by the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 on the machine platform 11, and the first side alignment fixture 1042 and the second side alignment fixture 1043 are arranged on the machine platform 11. Located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, they are driven by the clamping and alignment driving mechanism 1044 to simultaneously move closer to the two sides of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, and align and clamp the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, thereby making full use of the space on both sides of the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 on the machine platform 11, which can not only realize the clamping and alignment of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, but also make the structure of the laser engraving machine 1 more compact and smaller, thereby improving the convenience of equipment management, reducing equipment space occupancy, and reducing equipment costs.Further, the alignment mechanism 12 includes a push-pull drive mechanism 120, a lifting drive mechanism 121 and an alignment plate mechanism 122 located between the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101; the push-pull drive mechanism 120 is connected to the lifting drive mechanism 121, and the lifting drive mechanism 121 is connected to the alignment plate mechanism 122; when the in-place sensor detects that the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed is in place, the lifting drive mechanism 121 drives the alignment plate mechanism 122 to rise to one side of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, and the push-pull drive mechanism 120 drives the lifting drive mechanism 121 and the alignment plate mechanism 122 to move toward the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, so that the alignment plate surface 1220 of the alignment plate mechanism 122 collides and aligns with the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed, so that the collision surface of the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed remains parallel to the alignment plate surface 1220. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the push-pull drive mechanism 120, the lifting drive mechanism 121 and the alignment panel mechanism 122 are located between the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101, which not only can easily realize the collision alignment of the alignment mechanism 12 and the kitchen utensil panel glass 5 to be formed in the product transmission direction, but also can make full use of the height space formed by the first conveyor belt 100 and the second conveyor belt 101 on the machine platform 11, so that the structure of the laser engraving machine 1 is more compact and the volume is smaller, which improves the convenience of equipment management, reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and reduces the equipment cost.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the laser engraving device 13 includes a moving component 130 and a laser engraving component 131, the laser engraving component 131 is connected to the moving component 130, and the moving component 130 is arranged on the machine table 11 of the laser engraving machine 1; the moving component 130 drives the laser engraving component 131 to laser engrave the kitchen panel glass 5 to be formed at the laser engraving station according to the laser engraving path. Furthermore, the moving component 130 includes a Z-axis component 1300, an X-axis component 1301, a Y-axis component 1302 and a gantry 1303; the Z-axis component 1300 is connected to the laser engraving component 131, driving the laser engraving component 131 to move up and down for focusing; the Z-axis component 1300 and the laser engraving component 131 are arranged on the X-axis component 1301, and the X-axis component 1301 drives the Z-axis component 1300 and the laser engraving component 131 to move left and right; the X-axis component 1301 is arranged on the gantry 1303, and the Y-axis component 1302 drives the gantry 1303 to move forward and backward as a whole. Further, the laser engraving assembly 131 includes a laser 1310 and a galvanometer 1311; the laser 1310 is connected to the X-axis assembly 1301 and the Z-axis assembly 1300 through a support plate 1312, the galvanometer 1311 is connected to the Z-axis assembly 1300 through a support block 1313, and the laser 1310 is connected to the galvanometer 1311 through a laser channel 1314; the Z-axis assembly 1300 drives the galvanometer 1311 to move up and down for focusing; the X-axis assembly 1301 drives the Z-axis assembly and the laser 1310 to move left and right. It should be noted that in laser engraving, the focal position of the laser is crucial to the engraving effect. By setting the Z-axis assembly 1300, the laser engraving assembly 131 can be moved up and down, thereby adjusting the focus of the laser. This is crucial to ensure that the laser energy acts accurately on the glass surface to be processed and to avoid focus offset resulting in unsatisfactory engraving effect or processing failure. The X-axis assembly 1301 drives the laser engraving assembly 131 to move left and right, which can solve the problem of lateral coverage of the engraving range. This allows the laser engraving assembly 131 to traverse the entire surface of the glass to be processed horizontally, ensuring that the engraved pattern can cover every designated area. The Y-axis assembly 1302 drives the gantry 1303 to move forward and backward as a whole, further expanding the working range of the laser engraving head. Through the combined movement of front and back, left and right, the synergy of the Y-axis and the X-axis enables the laser engraving device 13 to accurately control the engraving path within a large range, achieving full coverage engraving of larger glass panels. In addition, the gantry 1303 provides stable mechanical structural support to ensure that the laser engraving assembly 131 can move smoothly throughout the entire workstation during the engraving process. Its structure ensures the accuracy and stability of the laser engraving process, avoiding engraving deviations due to unstable mechanical structure or vibration.In addition, the laser 1310 and the galvanometer 1311 are combined to emit and control the path of the laser, wherein the galvanometer 1311 is used to finely control the reflection angle and direction of the laser beam. Through the precise control of the galvanometer 1311, the laser beam can quickly change direction within a large range and finely engrave the required pattern and text. The combination of the galvanometer 1311 and the Z-axis assembly 1300 enables it to have the ability of automatic focusing, thereby improving the accuracy of processing.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the visual inspection station is at the discharge port of the product transmission mechanism or at the production line outside the machine 11 of the laser engraving machine 1, and the visual inspection station is provided with a visual inspection system 3, and the visual inspection system 3 performs engraving defect detection on the engraved kitchen panel glass 5 transmitted to the visual inspection station to obtain qualified engraved kitchen panel glass 5. It should be noted that after the laser engraving is completed, manual inspection is prone to inefficiency, missed detection or misdetection. The visual inspection system 3 can automatically and quickly scan each engraved panel glass, and accurately determine whether there are engraving defects, thereby greatly reducing manual intervention and time costs. Minor deviations or defects in the laser engraving process may be difficult to detect with the naked eye. The visual inspection system 3 uses high-precision cameras and algorithms to detect minor defects that cannot be detected by the human eye, such as uneven engraving depth, blurred patterns, position offsets, etc. This improvement in accuracy can ensure that the quality of the final product is more reliable.

[0045] In some further preferred embodiments, when the water cooler 2 provided on one side of the laser laser engraving machine 1 is controlled to perform cyclic cooling on the laser engraving device 13, it includes: collecting the real-time working temperature of the laser 1310 in the laser engraving device 13; comparing the real-time working temperature with the preset safe working temperature; when the real-time working temperature is higher than the preset safe working temperature, increasing the circulating coolant flow rate of the water cooler 2, and increasing the cooling rate of the circulating coolant of the water cooler 2, to accelerate the cooling of the laser 1310 of the laser engraving device 13; after the preset time of accelerated cooling, if the real-time working temperature is still higher than the preset safe working temperature, then controlling the working power of the laser 1310 of the laser engraving device 13 to be reduced, so that the laser engraving device 13 is kept within the safe temperature range for laser engraving. It should be noted that during the laser engraving process, the laser 1310 will generate a lot of heat. If it is not cooled in time, the laser 1310 may be damaged or its performance may be degraded due to overheating, resulting in insufficient engraving accuracy and unstable quality. By real-time monitoring of the operating temperature of the laser 1310, the water chiller 2 can accelerate cooling when the temperature exceeds the preset range to prevent the equipment from overheating and damage. When the temperature of the laser 1310 rises abnormally, the coolant flow rate and the cooling rate are accelerated to quickly reduce the temperature and ensure that the equipment can remain stable under high-load working conditions. Through this intelligent adjustment, the cooling efficiency is improved, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and resource consumption. It should be noted that in the case of excessive load or insufficient efficiency of the cooling system, blocked cooling circulation channels or aging equipment, and excessive workload of the laser 1310, if the accelerated cooling within the preset time cannot effectively reduce the abnormal operating temperature of the laser 1310 in time, the laser 1310 may be damaged or performance degraded due to overheating, resulting in insufficient engraving accuracy and unstable quality. In this embodiment, temperature monitoring, cooling regulation and laser power control are combined to form an intelligent hierarchical cooling and protection mechanism. When the temperature is abnormal, the cooling is accelerated for a preset time. If the real-time working temperature is still higher than the preset safe working temperature, the working power of the laser 1310 of the laser engraving device 13 is controlled to be reduced, thereby ensuring that the laser 1310 works at a safe working temperature. Furthermore, the preset safe working temperature is set according to the complexity of the style required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5 and the laser engraving time. When the style complexity required for the molding of the kitchen panel glass 5 is high and the required laser engraving time is long, the preset safe working temperature is set higher accordingly. It should be noted that when the engraving style complexity is high or the engraving time is long, the laser 1310 often needs to continue to work at a high intensity, resulting in more heat generation. If the safe working temperature is set too low, the cooling mechanism will be frequently triggered or the laser power will be automatically reduced, thereby affecting the processing efficiency and product quality.In this embodiment, by appropriately raising the preset safe operating temperature under complex engraving tasks, it is possible to ensure that the device can still work normally and efficiently under high load conditions and better manage heat without starting a cooling program or reducing power every time the temperature rises slightly, thereby improving the thermal management efficiency of the device. It is understandable that although the preset safe operating temperature is increased, it is still dynamically adjusted within a safe range. In this way, the device can be allowed to work under a higher load while ensuring the safety of the device. This balanced design not only takes into account the safety of the laser engraving equipment, but also maximizes work efficiency, so that efficient and stable production can still be achieved in complex and long-term tasks.
