Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of many fields such as construction, home furnishing, automotive, and electronics, glass, as an important basic material, has an increasingly wide range of applications. From the curtain wall glass of high-rise buildings to the windshield glass of automobiles, from delicate home decoration glass to the display protection glass of precision electronic devices, the demand for glass products in different industries not only continues to climb in quantity, but also puts forward higher and higher requirements in terms of quality, performance, and appearance. In the production process of glass products, edge treatment is a crucial link. After cutting, the edges of the glass need to be ground or polished. However, if the cutting, grinding, or polishing process is not properly operated, it will cause damage to the edges of the glass. Once the edges of the glass are damaged, it will affect the subsequent coating or printing process. At the same time, the damaged edges of the glass are prone to cut the hands of the staff. However, at present, most of the detection of glass edge damage is still carried out manually. Some large damages can be detected by the naked eye, while slightly finer cracks cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Specific embodiments

[0023] For a better understanding of the technical content of the present invention, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] See Figures 1 to 4 , an edge treatment device for glass processing provided by the present invention includes a liquid receiving tank box 1, a U-shaped clamping frame 2, a main control unit 3, a display screen 4, and an edge breakage detection mechanism. A plurality of the liquid receiving tank boxes 1 are connected in sequence, and their tops are open. The U-shaped clamping frame 2 is arranged on the top surface of the liquid receiving tank box 1, and its open side is used to clamp the edge of the glass. The main control unit 3 and the display screen 4 are arranged on the outer wall of the liquid receiving tank box 1. The edge breakage detection mechanism includes an electric sliding table 5, a mounting column 6, an electric rotating table 7, a storage tank 8, an electric dropping head 9, a connecting pipe 10, a telescopic rod 11, a metal plate 12, a cleaning cloth 13, and a weighing sensor 14. The electric sliding table 5 is arranged on the top surface of the liquid receiving tank box 1 and is on the same side as the non-opening side of the U-shaped clamping frame 2. The bottom end of the mounting column 6 is connected to the top surface of the mover of the electric sliding table 5, and its top end is connected to the bottom surface of the electric rotating table 7. The rotating surface of the electric rotating table 7 faces upward and is connected to the bottom surface of the storage tank 8. The storage tank 8 is located on one side of the glass edge and stores a viscous liquid therein. The electric dropping head 9 is located on one side of the storage tank 8. The connecting pipe 10 connects the electric dropping head 9 and the storage tank 8. The telescopic rod 11 is arranged on the side wall of the storage tank 8 away from the electric dropping head 9 and is connected to the side wall of the metal plate 12. The cleaning cloth 13 is arranged on the side wall of the metal plate 12 away from the storage tank 8. The weighing sensor 14 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the liquid receiving tank box 1. The main control unit 3 is electrically connected to the display screen 4, the electric sliding table 5, the electric rotating table 7, the electric dropping head 9, and the weighing sensor 14 respectively.

[0025] An edge treatment device for glass processing according to the present invention is used to detect the breakage of the edges of processed glass. The principle adopted is to divide the glass edge into several segments to form a control group, and the same viscous liquid is dropped on each segment. Under the action of gravity, the viscous liquid will slide down along the glass edge. If there is a break in the glass edge, the viscous liquid will remain at the break position. By collecting and comparing the weight data of the viscous liquid left on each segment, it can be determined whether there is a break in the glass edge, preventing the glass with breakage from entering the next process and enabling timely reprocessing of the broken glass.

[0026] During the detection, first, the U-shaped clamp 2 is clamped on the edge of the glass to be detected. There is a U-shaped clamp 2 on both sides above each liquid receiving tank 1 to ensure the stability of the liquid receiving tank 1. After clamping, the electric dropping head 9 is started. It can draw out the viscous liquid stored in the storage tank 8 through the connecting pipe 10 and drop it onto the glass edge. The electric sliding table 5 can drive the storage tank 8 to move through the mounting post 6, so that the electric dropping head 9 can move along the glass edge for uniform dropping. The main control unit 3 can determine the total amount of the dropped viscous liquid according to the output flow of the electric dropping head 9 itself. After the dropping is completed, the viscous liquid will flow downward along the glass edge and finally drop into the liquid receiving tank 1. A weighing sensor 14 is arranged in the liquid receiving tank 1. The weighing sensor 14 can collect the weight of the dropped viscous liquid and transmit it to the main control unit 3. The main control unit 3 can, on the one hand, compare it with the dropping amount of the electric dropping head 9, and on the other hand, display the weight data on the display screen 4. The weight of the received viscous liquid will be shown on the side walls of different liquid receiving tanks 1. By comparing the weight data of the received viscous liquid in multiple liquid receiving tanks 1, it can be judged whether there is a break in the glass edge and determine which segment the break position is in, so as to facilitate re-grinding and polishing.

[0027] Before the dropping, the electric turntable 7 can drive the storage tank 8 to rotate, so that the cleaning cloth 13 rotates to one side of the glass edge and contacts the side wall of the glass edge through the telescopic rod 11. Driven by the electric sliding table 5, the cleaning cloth 13 can move along the glass edge to clean the glass edge, preventing the residual glass slag or adhered dust and other impurities in the previous processing from affecting the flow of the viscous liquid and ensuring the accuracy of the breakage detection result.

[0028] Preferably, the edge breakage detection mechanism further includes a clamping spring 15 and an abutting plate 16. The abutting plate 16 is located inside the U-shaped clamp 2, and the clamping spring 15 connects the top surface of the abutting plate 16 and the inner top surface of the U-shaped clamp 2.

[0029] Before the detection, the glass edge can be placed in the U-shaped clamp 2. Under the action of the clamping spring 15, the abutting plate 16 can clamp and fix the glass surface.

[0030] Preferably, the edge breakage detection mechanism further includes a movable box 17 and a biasing spring 18. The movable box 17 is disposed inside the liquid receiving tank box 1 with an open top surface. The top end of the biasing spring 18 is connected to the bottom surface of the movable box 17, and the bottom end thereof is connected to the load cell 14.

[0031] The viscous liquid dripping from the glass edge will fall into the movable box 17, increasing the gravity on the movable box 17. The movable box 17 applies pressure to the biasing spring 18, causing the gravity data collected by the load cell 14 to change. Whether there is a breakage on the glass edge can be determined based on the gravity data collected by the load cells 14 at the bottom of different movable boxes 17.

[0032] Preferably, a through hole 19 is provided on the bottom surface of the liquid receiving tank box 1, and a guide rod 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the movable box 17. The bottom end of the guide rod 20 passes through the through hole 19.

[0033] To ensure that the movable box 17 does not shift during movement, a guide rod 20 is provided at its bottom. The movable box 17 will move downward under the gravity of the dripping viscous liquid, driving the guide rod 20 to move along the through hole 19. The through hole 19 can limit the movement of the guide rod 20.

[0034] Preferably, the edge breakage detection mechanism further includes a replenishing pipe 21, which is disposed on the top surface of the storage tank 8.

[0035] When the viscous liquid in the storage tank 8 is insufficient, it can be replenished through the replenishing pipe 21 to ensure that the breakage detection process can proceed uninterruptedly.

[0036] Preferably, the telescopic rod 11 includes a sleeve 22, a movable rod 23, and a return spring 24. The sleeve 22 is disposed on the side wall of the storage tank 8. The return spring 24 is disposed inside the sleeve 22. One end of the movable rod 23 is connected to the side wall of the metal plate 12, and the other end extends into the sleeve 22 and is connected to the return spring 24.

[0037] The electric turntable 7 can drive the storage tank 8 to rotate, causing the cleaning cloth 13 to rotate to one side of the glass edge. The movable rod 23 can move along the inside of the sleeve 22 to compress the return spring 24. Under the action of the return spring 24, the movable rod 23 can push the metal plate 12 to make the cleaning cloth 13 abut against the glass edge to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0038] Preferably, the edge breakage detection mechanism further includes an electromagnet 25, which is disposed on the side wall of the storage tank 8 and is located on one side of the metal plate 12.

[0039] The electromagnet 25 can magnetically attract the metal plate 12. When the electromagnet 25 is energized, it can magnetically attract the metal plate 12. At this time, the electric turntable 7 can drive the storage box 8 to rotate, so that the cleaning cloth 13 rotates to one side of the glass edge. When the cleaning cloth 13 rotates into place, the power supply to the electromagnet 25 can be cut off. Under the action of the return spring 24, the cleaning cloth 13 can be in close contact with the glass edge.

[0040] Preferably, the edge damage detection mechanism further includes a battery pack 26, a normally closed button 27, and a trigger rod 28. The battery pack 26 is arranged on the top surface of the storage box 8. The normally closed button 27 is arranged on the outer wall of the mounting post 6. The trigger rod 28 is arranged at the bottom of the sleeve 22. The normally closed button 27 is located on the moving path of the trigger rod 28. The battery pack 26, the normally closed button 27, and the electromagnet 25 form an electrical circuit loop.

[0041] In the initial state, the normally closed button 27 is in a closed state. At this time, the electromagnet 25 can receive the electric energy from the battery pack 26, and the electromagnet 25 can magnetically attract the metal plate 12, making the return spring 24 in a compressed state. When it is necessary to clean the glass edge, the electric turntable 7 will drive the storage box 8 to rotate. When the cleaning cloth 13 rotates to one side of the glass edge, the trigger rod 28 at the bottom of the sleeve 22 will also rotate to one side of the normally closed button 27 and trigger the normally closed button 27 to be in an open state. At this time, the electric energy transmitted from the battery pack 26 to the electromagnet 25 is cut off. After the metal plate 12 loses its magnetic force, the return spring 24 can push the moving rod 23 and the metal plate 12 to move outward, so that the cleaning cloth 13 is in close contact with the glass edge.

[0042] Preferably, the edge damage detection mechanism further includes a gantry 29, an electric push rod 30, and a scraper 31. Both ends of the gantry 29 are connected to the top surfaces of the two U-shaped clamp frames 2 and span above the liquid receiving tank box 1. The electric push rod 30 is arranged on the side wall of the gantry 29, and its output shaft is connected to the top surface of the scraper 31. The glass edge to be detected is located on the moving path of the scraper 31. The main control unit 3 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 30.

[0043] In order to improve the detection efficiency, a gantry 29 is arranged above each liquid receiving tank box 1. A scraper 31 that can be lifted is arranged at the bottom of the gantry 29. After the viscous liquid droplet is added to the glass edge, the electric push rod 30 can drive the scraper 31 to slowly move downward along the glass edge, accelerating the downward flow of the viscous liquid. By uniformly controlling the moving stroke of the electric push rod 30 and the material of the scraper 31, the consistency of the loss of the viscous liquid can be ensured. Finally, whether the glass edge is damaged can be determined by the weight of the viscous liquid dripping into the liquid receiving tank box 1. The detection efficiency can be improved by the arrangement of the scraper 31.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
