Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of plate glass production, and in particular relates to an automatic cutting device for plate glass edge material. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of carrier glass, the glass plate needs to be cut to reach the required size, and the tool used for cutting is usually a diamond glass cutter.

[0003] In the prior art, the cutting of glass plates mostly requires manual cutting. During the manual cutting process, the carrier glass needs to be placed on a workbench, and the cutting knife needs to be adjusted to a suitable position after measuring the size before cutting. The cutting efficiency is low. Another type of automated cutting equipment needs to place the glass plate accurately in the corresponding position after adjusting the cutting size. The deviation in the placement position can easily lead to deviation in the cutting of the glass plate. Manual alignment requires a certain amount of time, resulting in low cutting efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an automatic cutting device for edge material of carrier glass, which can solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an automatic cutting device for edge material of carrier glass, which can adapt to the position of the carrier glass and perform fixed-width cutting.

[0006] The technical effects to be achieved by this application are achieved through the following solutions:

[0007] According to the first aspect of the present application, there is provided an automated cutting device for carrier glass edge material, comprising guide rails installed on both sides of a workbench, a support plate fixed between the guide rails, the support plate driven to move along the guide rails by a driving mechanism, a fixed width ruler slidably connected to the support plate along its length direction, cutting arms are rotatably connected to the support plates on both sides of the fixed width ruler via torsion springs, the fixed width ruler is used to limit the distance between the cutting arms, an adaptive adjustment plate is fixed to the front end of the cutting arm for adapting to the position of the carrier glass, and a cutting knife is provided on the cutting arm.

[0008] Through this solution, a fixed-width ruler is used to limit the distance between the cutting arms, thereby limiting the cutting width. The carrier glass is placed on the workbench.

[0009] Preferably, the width-fixing ruler comprises a ruler body, the ruler body is slidably connected to the support plate, two width-fixing arms are slidably connected to the ruler body, and the width-fixing arms are fixed to the ruler body via a fixing mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, a permanent magnet is provided at the end of the width-fixing arm facing the cutting arm, and the permanent magnet is used to attract the cutting arm.

[0014] Through this solution, the permanent magnet can temporarily fix the cutting arm, so that the cutting arm deflects with the different positions of the carrier glass, avoiding the insufficient elastic force of the torsion spring causing the cutting arm to be pushed away from the fixed width arm when the carrier glass moves along the driving mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, both ends of the ruler body are slidably connected to the support plate via linear bearings.

[0016] Through this solution, the friction between the ruler and the support plate is reduced, so that the ruler can swing according to the position of the carrier glass under the action of the adaptive adjustment plate.

[0019] Preferably, the cutting knife is connected to the cutting arm via a self-adjusting mechanism, and the self-adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the angle of the cutting knife.

[0020] With this solution, the change in the angle of the cutting arm will not affect the cutting angle of the cutting knife, thereby ensuring smooth cutting.

[0022] Through this solution, the rotating shaft can drive the cutting knife to rotate. The cutting knife is a disc structure and will roll to the surface of the carrier glass when the carrier glass is fed, thereby completing the adaptive adjustment of the angle.

[0023] Preferably, the rotating shaft is rotatably and slidably connected to the mounting sleeve, and a compression spring is arranged between the bottom of the rotating shaft and the mounting sleeve.

[0024] Through this solution, the rotating shaft can move up and down to adapt to different thicknesses of the carrier glass, and the carrier glass is pressed under the action of the pressing spring to improve the cutting effect.

[0025] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a rack, the rack is fixed to one side of the guide rail, and a gear meshing with the rack is arranged on the rotating shaft of the driving motor; the support plate is fixed to the mounting frame of the driving motor, a support leg is arranged at the bottom of the support plate, and the support leg is rollingly connected to the guide rail.

[0026] Through this solution, the coordination between the gear and the rack can improve the movement accuracy.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present application, the beneficial effect of using the automatic cutting device for carrier glass edge materials of the present application is that it can adapt to different placement positions of the carrier glass and complete fixed-width cutting as the driving mechanism operates.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automatic cutting device for carrier glass edge material in an embodiment of the present application includes guide rails 200 installed on both sides of a workbench 100, support plates 210 are fixed between the guide rails 200, and the support plates 210 are driven to move along the guide rails 200 by a driving mechanism. A fixed width ruler 220 is slidably connected to the support plate 210 along its length direction, and cutting arms 230 are rotatably connected to the support plates 210 on both sides of the fixed width ruler 220 through torsion springs. The fixed width ruler 220 is used to limit the distance between the cutting arms 230, and an adaptive adjustment plate 250 is fixed to the front end of the cutting arm 230 for adapting to the position of the carrier glass 300, and a cutting knife 240 is arranged on the cutting arm 230.

[0038] Through the scheme of this embodiment, a fixed-width ruler 220 is used to limit the distance between the cutting arms 230, thereby limiting the cutting width. The carrier glass 300 is placed on the workbench 100. When the driving mechanism drives the support plate 210 to move, the adaptive adjustment plate 250 can drive the cutting arms 230 to swing, and under the action of the fixed-width ruler 220, the carrier glass 300 that is cut is always at a certain width.

[0039] The cutting knife 240 in this embodiment is a circular diamond blade that can roll on the surface of the carrier glass 300 to complete the cutting.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, the width-fixing ruler 220 includes a ruler body 221, which is slidably connected to the support plate 210, and two width-fixing arms 222 are slidably connected to the ruler body 221, and the width-fixing arms 222 are fixed to the ruler body 221 through a fixing mechanism. The width-fixing arms 222 can support and fix the cutting arms 230, and extend to the cutting blades 240 to fix the width, so that the width limit between the cutting blades 240 is more accurate.

[0041] The cutting arm 230 is pressed onto the fixed-width arm 222 under the action of the torsion spring, thereby achieving fixed-width cutting; the distance between the fixed-width arms 222 can be adjusted according to the width requirements to meet the cutting requirements.

The tightening nut 226 and the tightening bolt 223 are locked by a wrench or other device, so that the tightening nut 226 squeezes the ruler body 221 and the width-fixing arm 222.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, a permanent magnet 225 is provided at the end of the width-fixing arm 222 toward the cutting arm 230, and the permanent magnet 225 is used to attract the cutting arm 230. The permanent magnet 225 can temporarily fix the cutting arm 230, so that the cutting arm 230 deflects with the different positions of the carrier glass 300, and avoids the carrier glass 300 pushing the cutting arm 230 away from the width-fixing arm 222 when the driving mechanism 100 moves due to insufficient elastic force of the torsion spring, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the width.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, both ends of the ruler 221 are slidably connected to the support plate 210 through linear bearings 227. The friction between the ruler 221 and the support plate 210 is reduced, so that the ruler 221 can swing in accordance with the position of the carrier glass 300 under the action of the adaptive adjustment plate 250.

The rotating shaft 242 can move up and down to adapt to different thicknesses of the carrier glass 300, and the carrier glass 300 is compressed under the action of the compression spring 243 to improve the cutting effect.
