Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tempered glass production, and particularly relates to a tempered glass positioning device and a tempered glass production process. Background Art

[0002] Tempered glass is a type of glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to enhance its strength and impact resistance. It is more impact-resistant than regular glass and breaks into smaller particles, minimizing damage to the body. It is widely used in mobile phone screens, car windows, and architectural windows. The tempered glass manufacturing process typically involves heating the glass to a certain temperature and then cooling it to create compressive stress on the surface, thereby increasing its strength and durability.

[0003] The tempered glass positioning device is mainly used to accurately position and fix the glass during the cutting process of tempered glass, so that it can be cut efficiently and accurately. The existing positioning device is usually a sturdy workbench on which the glass is positioned and cut, and the table top generally has an anti-slip function, which can fix the glass and prevent it from moving. There are many different types of positioning devices on the market, but the structural design of most positioning devices is too simple, and they usually only have automatic loading and support functions. Due to the lack of precise positioning and calibration structure, the size of the glass blanks used in the processing process is larger, which makes the cutting mechanism produce a large amount of scrap waste in the subsequent cutting process, thereby causing waste of raw materials and increasing production and processing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a tempered glass positioning device and a tempered glass production process.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is: a tempered glass positioning device, comprising a support assembly and a fixed bracket for stacking glass plates, wherein the top of the support assembly is slidably connected to a sliding assembly, and one side of the top of the sliding assembly is rotatably connected to a flip assembly, and a flip drive assembly is further installed between the sliding assembly and the flip assembly for driving the flip assembly to rotate;

[0006] The flip assembly is provided with a vacuum adsorption assembly for adsorbing the glass sheets stacked on the fixed bracket during operation. The front and rear ends of the flip assembly are both provided with a set of calibration and positioning assemblies for accurately locating the cutting position of the glass sheets.

[0007] A glass cutting assembly for cutting glass plates is also placed around the supporting assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support base, two parallel first sliding guide rails are fixedly installed on the top of the support base, a ball screw is rotatably connected to the middle position of the support base, and a servo motor for driving the ball screw to rotate is installed on one side of the support base.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the support assembly mainly plays a supporting role, and the two first sliding guide rails arranged on the top can provide sliding limits for the sliding assembly to ensure its stability during movement. In addition, during the processing process, the servo motor can drive the ball screw to rotate through the output shaft, and then drive the sliding assembly to move in a targeted and precise manner, so that it can be driven to the specified loading position for subsequent adsorption and fixation of the glass plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a sliding bracket, the front and rear ends of the bottom of the sliding bracket are fixedly connected to the limiting slide rails, the two limiting slide rails are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding first sliding guide rails, two rotating supports are provided on one side of the sliding bracket, and a ball nut seat is fixedly connected to the center position of the bottom of the sliding bracket, the ball nut seat is sleeved on the outer wall of the ball screw, and a groove is also provided on the top of the sliding bracket.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the sliding assembly also serves as a supporting structure, which is mainly used for the rotation support of the flip assembly. The flip assembly rotates with two rotating supports as fulcrums, so that the flip assembly can be flipped as a whole under the drive of the flip drive assembly. At the same time, a ball nut seat is provided at the bottom center of the sliding bracket. When the ball screw rotates, it can drive the entire sliding assembly to move horizontally through the ball nut seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the flip assembly includes a fixed plate, a rotating bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the fixed plate, the two rotating brackets are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating supports, two symmetrical rotating slots are provided at the front and rear end edges of the fixed plate, and two positioning baffles are fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate away from the rotating bracket.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the flip assembly serves as both a loading structure and a cutting processing platform. During operation, the flip drive assembly can drive the fixed plate to rotate by extending and retracting its piston rod. During the loading stage, the upper surface of the fixed plate needs to be rotated to be parallel to the stacked glass plates so that the subsequent vacuum adsorption assembly can adsorb and fix it on the fixed plate. After the glass plates are loaded, the flip drive assembly drives them to reset. It should be noted that during the reset process, when the glass plates are in a horizontal state, the vacuum adsorption assembly stops working, but the piston rod of the flip drive assembly needs to continue to retract so that the side of the fixed plate close to the flip drive assembly tilts downward. At this time, since the glass plate loses the adsorption and fixing force, it will slide along the inclined surface of the fixed plate under the action of its own gravity until one side of the glass plate is tightly fitted with the two positioning baffles. At this time, the precise positioning of one side of the glass plate is completed, and then the piston rod of the flip drive assembly will begin to extend until the fixed plate returns to a horizontal state.

[0014] Furthermore, the flip drive assembly includes a flip hydraulic cylinder rotatably connected to the groove, the bottom of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a first fixed support, and the top end of the flip hydraulic cylinder piston rod is rotatably connected to the first fixed support.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the flip drive assembly serves as one of the main execution units, and its main function is to drive the rotation of the flip assembly. The flip hydraulic cylinder can drive the fixed plate to rotate and reset by the extension and retraction of its piston rod, thereby changing different processing states to meet different processing requirements.

[0016] Furthermore, the vacuum adsorption assembly includes a plurality of suction cup grooves opened on the top of the fixed plate, and the bottom ends of the plurality of suction cup grooves are provided with adsorption through holes. An air guide channel communicating with the plurality of adsorption through holes is provided inside the fixed plate, and an air guide interface communicating with the air guide channel is installed on one side of the bottom of the fixed plate.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the vacuum adsorption assembly is mainly used for vacuum adsorption of glass plates. It has an independent external vacuum generator. The air suction port of the vacuum generator is connected to the air guide interface through a pipe. During the loading process, when the surface of the fixed plate is in contact with the surface of the outermost glass plate, the vacuum generator starts to work and generates suction. At this time, multiple suction cup grooves will generate suction at the same time. The air sucked in from the suction cup groove will enter the air guide channel connected to it through the corresponding adsorption through hole, and finally be sucked into the vacuum generator through the air guide interface, thereby generating vacuum suction, and also making the glass plate firmly adsorbed and fixed on the surface of the fixed plate. When the fixed plate returns to a horizontal state, the entire vacuum adsorption assembly will stop working, and the glass plate will be in a horizontal and stationary state.

[0018] Furthermore, a silicone panel is adhered to the top surface of the fixing plate.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, by setting up a silicone panel, it can not only better fit with the glass plate during the adsorption and fixation process, but also play a good supporting role in the subsequent cutting process to ensure stability during the cutting process. In addition, during the tilting and alignment of the glass plate, due to the large weight of the glass plate itself, when it is in a tilted state, it can slide a short distance along the surface of the silicone panel by gravity without affecting it.

[0020] Furthermore, the calibration positioning assembly includes two rotating calibration frames rotatably connected to two rotating slots, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two rotating calibration frames, a second fixed support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate, a calibration hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the second fixed support, and the end of the calibration hydraulic cylinder piston rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the calibration and positioning assembly is mainly used for automatic alignment of the front and rear ends of the glass plate. During the automatic alignment of the glass plate in an inclined state, the two sets of calibration and positioning assemblies will also work synchronously. The calibration hydraulic cylinder will drive the connecting rod to rotate through the extension of its piston rod, and then simultaneously drive the two rotating calibration frames to rotate in the rotating slot, so that the two sets of rotating calibration frames can simultaneously rotate toward the middle of the fixed plate to drive the front and rear ends of the glass plate to be aligned, thereby completing the rapid and accurate positioning of the entire glass plate for subsequent precise cutting. In the production and processing process, there is no need to prepare larger glass plates, only standard-sized glass needs to be customized according to production needs, so that no or very little waste is generated in the subsequent cutting process, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and also reducing production costs.

[0022] Furthermore, the glass cutting assembly includes a U-shaped fixed base, and the front and rear ends of the top of the U-shaped fixed base are slidably installed with horizontal slides, and a supporting longitudinal beam is fixedly connected between the two horizontal slides. A longitudinal slide is also slidably installed on the top of the supporting longitudinal beam. Linear motors are installed between the two horizontal slides and the U-shaped fixed base, and between the longitudinal slide and the supporting longitudinal beam. Second sliding guide rails are installed on the U-shaped fixed base and the supporting longitudinal beam for sliding limitation of the two horizontal slides and the longitudinal slide. A support frame is also provided on the longitudinal slide, and a cutting hydraulic cylinder is installed on the support frame. The bottom end of the piston rod of the cutting hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed with a cutting knife seat for cutting the glass plate.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, the glass cutting assembly is mainly used for automatic cutting processing of glass plates. Due to its design of horizontally and vertically arranged linear motors, the supporting longitudinal beam can be precisely moved horizontally, and the longitudinal slide can be precisely moved vertically. At this time, under the control of a preset cutting program, the cutting hydraulic cylinder installed on the support frame can be precisely moved, so that the cutting knife seat at the bottom end of its piston rod can be used for standardized cutting, thereby ensuring cutting accuracy.

[0024] A tempered glass production process using a tempered glass positioning device comprises the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: neatly stack the glass sheet blanks to be processed on a fixed support at a set inclination angle;

[0026] Step 2: During processing, the flip drive assembly drives the flip assembly to rotate, so that the flip assembly flips to a state parallel to the stacked state of the glass sheets;

[0027] Step 3: The lead screw drive structure on the support assembly drives the sliding assembly and the flip assembly to move toward the fixed bracket until the upper surface of the flip assembly is in contact with the outermost glass plate;

[0028] Step 4: After the flip assembly surface is attached to the glass plate, the vacuum adsorption assembly will stably adsorb and fix the glass plate to the flip assembly surface;

[0029] Step 5: The support assembly then drives the sliding assembly, the flip assembly, and the glass sheet back to their original position. During this process, the flip drive assembly also drives the flip assembly back to its original position. When the glass sheet is horizontal, the vacuum adsorption assembly stops working, and the piston rod of the flip drive assembly continues to retract, causing the flip assembly to tilt toward the side closer to the flip drive assembly, thereby aligning one side of the glass sheet with the edge of the flip assembly.

[0030] Step 6: At the same time, the two sets of calibration and positioning components work simultaneously, causing their working parts to rotate toward the middle of the flip component, thereby completing the automatic centering of the glass plate and thus achieving precise positioning of the glass plate;

[0031] Step 7: After the glass plate is positioned, the flip drive assembly drives the flip assembly to rotate to a horizontal state, and the glass cutting assembly begins to accurately cut the glass plate.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention can quickly complete the precise positioning of the glass plate by designing a flip component and a calibration positioning component. During the production and processing process, it is only necessary to customize the glass of standard size according to the production requirements, so that no or very little waste is generated in the subsequent cutting process, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and also reducing the production cost; (2) The present invention realizes the precise processing and positioning of the glass plate by designing a simple positioning structure, and also ensures the subsequent cutting accuracy and cutting quality. At the same time, its simple structural design is also convenient for daily maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] like Figures 1-15 As shown, a tempered glass positioning device of this embodiment includes a support assembly 1 and a fixed bracket 8 for stacking glass plates 9. The support assembly 1 includes a support base 101. Two parallel first sliding guide rails 102 are fixedly installed on the top of the support base 101. The middle position of the support base 101 is rotatably connected to a ball screw 103. A servo motor 104 for driving the ball screw 103 to rotate is installed on one side of the support base 101. The support assembly 1 mainly plays a supporting role. The two first sliding guide rails 102 set on its top provide sliding limits for the sliding assembly 2 to ensure its stability during movement. In addition, during the processing, the servo motor 104 can drive the ball screw 103 to rotate through the output shaft, and then drive the sliding assembly 2 to move in a directed and precise manner, so that it can be driven to the specified loading position for subsequent adsorption and fixation of the glass plate 9.

[0051] For Sliding Component 2, refer to Figure 4-Figure 12The top of the support assembly 1 is slidably connected to the sliding assembly 2, and the sliding assembly 2 includes a sliding bracket 201, and the front and rear ends of the bottom of the sliding bracket 201 are fixedly connected to the limited slide rails 202. The two limited slide rails 202 are slidably connected to the corresponding first sliding guide rails 102 respectively. One side of the sliding bracket 201 is provided with two rotating supports 203, and the center position of the bottom of the sliding bracket 201 is fixedly connected to a ball nut seat 204, and the ball nut seat 204 is sleeved on the outer wall of the ball screw 103. A groove 205 is also provided on the top of the sliding bracket 201. The sliding assembly 2 also serves as a supporting structure, which is mainly used for the rotation support of the flip assembly 3. The flip assembly 3 rotates with the two rotating supports 203 as the fulcrum, so that the flip assembly 3 can be flipped as a whole under the drive of the flip drive assembly 4. At the same time, a ball nut seat 204 is provided at the bottom center of the sliding bracket 201. When the ball screw 103 rotates, it can drive the entire sliding assembly 2 to move horizontally through the ball nut seat 204.

[0052] For flip component 3, refer to Figures 1-13 The top side of the sliding assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the flip assembly 3. The flip assembly 3 includes a fixed plate 301, and a rotating bracket 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the fixed plate 301. The two rotating brackets 302 are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating supports 203 respectively. Two symmetrical rotating slots 303 are provided at the front and rear end edges of the fixed plate 301. Two positioning baffles 304 are fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate 301 away from the rotating bracket 302. The flip assembly 3 serves as both a loading structure and a cutting processing platform. During operation, the flip drive assembly 4 can drive the fixed plate 301 to rotate through the extension and retraction of its piston rod. During the loading stage, the upper surface of the fixed plate 301 needs to be rotated to keep it parallel to the stacked glass plates 9 for subsequent The vacuum adsorption component 5 can adsorb and fix it on the fixed plate 301. After the glass plate 9 is loaded, it is driven to reset by the flip drive component 4. It should be noted that during the reset process, when the glass plate 9 is in a horizontal state, the vacuum adsorption component 5 stops working, but the piston rod of the flip drive component 4 needs to continue to retract so that the fixed plate 301 close to the side of the flip drive component 4 tilts downward. At this time, since the glass plate 9 loses the adsorption and fixing force, it will slide along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 301 under the action of its own gravity until one side of the glass plate 9 is tightly fitted with the two positioning baffles 304. At this time, the precise positioning of one side of the glass plate 9 is completed, and then the piston rod of the flip drive component 4 will begin to extend until the fixed plate 301 returns to a horizontal state.

[0053] For the flip drive assembly 4, refer to Figure 12-13A flip driving assembly 4 is also installed between the sliding assembly 2 and the flipping assembly 3, which is used to drive the flipping assembly 3 to rotate; the flip driving assembly 4 includes a flip hydraulic cylinder 401 rotatably connected to the groove 205, and the bottom of the fixed plate 301 is fixedly connected to a first fixed support 402, and the top of the piston rod of the flip hydraulic cylinder 401 is rotatably connected to the first fixed support 402. The flip driving assembly 4 is one of the main execution units, and its main function is to drive the flip assembly 3 to rotate. The flip hydraulic cylinder 401 can drive the fixed plate 301 to rotate and reset by the extension and retraction of its piston rod, thereby changing different processing states to meet different processing requirements.

[0054] For vacuum adsorption components 5, refer to Figures 5-10 , a vacuum adsorption component 5 is provided on the flip component 3, which is used to adsorb the glass plates 9 stacked on the fixed bracket 8 during operation. The vacuum adsorption component 5 includes a plurality of suction cup grooves 501 opened on the top of the fixed plate 301, and the bottom ends of the plurality of suction cup grooves 501 are provided with adsorption through holes 502. An air guide channel 503 is provided inside the fixed plate 301 and is connected to the plurality of adsorption through holes 502. An air guide interface 504 connected to the air guide channel 503 is installed on one side of the bottom of the fixed plate 301. The vacuum adsorption component 5 is mainly used for vacuum adsorption of the glass plate 9, which has an independent external vacuum generator (which belongs to the existing conventional equipment and is not shown in the figure). The air suction port of the vacuum generator is connected to the air guide channel 503. It is connected to the air guide interface 504 through a pipe. During the loading process, when the surface of the fixed plate 301 is in contact with the surface of the outermost glass plate 9, the vacuum generator starts to work and generates suction. At this time, multiple suction cup grooves 501 will generate suction at the same time. The air sucked in from the suction cup grooves 501 will enter the air guide channel 503 connected thereto through the corresponding adsorption through-holes 502, and finally be sucked into the vacuum generator through the air guide interface 504, thereby generating vacuum suction, and also making the glass plate 9 firmly adsorbed and fixed on the surface of the fixed plate 301. When the fixed plate 301 returns to a horizontal state, the entire vacuum adsorption assembly 5 will stop working, and the glass plate 9 will be in a horizontal and stationary state.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a silicone panel 505 is adhered to the top surface of the fixing plate 301. By providing the silicone panel 505, it can not only better fit with the glass plate 9 during the adsorption and fixing process, but also play a good supporting role in the subsequent cutting process, thereby ensuring the stability of the cutting process. In addition, during the process of tilting and aligning the glass plate 9, due to the large weight of the glass plate 9 itself, when it is in a tilted state, it can slide a short distance along the surface of the silicone panel 505 by gravity without affecting it.

[0056] For calibration of positioning component 6, refer to Figure 13, the front and rear ends of the flip assembly 3 are both equipped with a set of calibration and positioning components 6 for accurately positioning the cutting position of the glass plate 9; the calibration and positioning component 6 includes two rotating calibration frames 601 rotatably connected to the two rotating slots 303, a connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected between the two rotating calibration frames 601, a second fixed support 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 301, a calibration hydraulic cylinder 604 is rotatably connected to the second fixed support 603, and the end of the piston rod of the calibration hydraulic cylinder 604 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 602. The calibration and positioning component 6 is mainly used for automatic alignment of the front and rear ends of the glass plate 9. During the automatic alignment process of the glass plate 9 in a tilted state, the two sets of calibration and positioning components 6 will also work synchronously. The quasi-hydraulic cylinder 604 will drive the connecting rod 602 to rotate by extending its piston rod, and then can simultaneously drive the two rotating calibration frames 601 to rotate in the rotating slot 303, so that the two sets of rotating calibration frames 601 can simultaneously rotate toward the middle of the fixed plate 301 to drive the glass plate 9 to align the front and rear ends, thereby completing the rapid and accurate positioning of the entire glass plate 9 for subsequent precise cutting, and also making it unnecessary to prepare larger-sized glass plates 9 during the production and processing process, only standard-sized glass needs to be customized according to production requirements, so that no or very little waste is generated in the subsequent cutting process, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and also reducing production costs.

[0057] For glass cutting components 7, refer to Figure 14 , a glass cutting assembly 7 for cutting the glass plate 9 is also placed on the side of the support assembly 1, and the glass cutting assembly 7 includes a U-shaped fixed base 701, and the front and rear ends of the top of the U-shaped fixed base 701 are slidably installed with a horizontal slide 702, a supporting longitudinal beam 703 is fixedly connected between the two horizontal slides 702, and a longitudinal slide 704 is slidably installed on the top of the supporting longitudinal beam 703. Linear motors 705 are installed between the two horizontal slides 702 and the U-shaped fixed base 701, and between the longitudinal slide 704 and the supporting longitudinal beam 703. A second sliding guide rail 706 is installed on the U-shaped fixed base 701 and the supporting longitudinal beam 703 for sliding limit of the two horizontal slides 702 and the longitudinal slide 704. A support frame 707 is also provided on the seat 704, and a cutting hydraulic cylinder 708 is installed on the support frame 707. A cutting knife seat 709 for cutting the glass plate 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the cutting hydraulic cylinder 708. The glass cutting assembly 7 is mainly used for automatic cutting processing of the glass plate 9. Due to its design of the horizontal and vertical linear motors 705, the supporting longitudinal beam 703 can be accurately moved horizontally, and the longitudinal slide 704 can be accurately moved longitudinally. At this time, under the control of the preset cutting program, the cutting hydraulic cylinder 708 installed on the support frame 707 can be accurately moved, so that the cutting knife seat 709 at the bottom end of its piston rod can be used for standardized cutting, thereby ensuring the cutting accuracy.

[0058] A tempered glass production process using a tempered glass positioning device comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: neatly stack the glass sheets 9 to be processed on the fixed support 8 at a set tilt angle;

[0060] Step 2: During processing, the flip drive assembly 4 drives the flip assembly 3 to rotate, so that the flip assembly 3 flips to a state parallel to the stacked state of the glass plates 9;

[0061] Step 3: The screw drive structure on the support assembly 1 drives the sliding assembly 2 and the flip assembly 3 to move toward the fixed bracket 8 until the upper surface of the flip assembly 3 is in contact with the outermost glass plate 9;

[0062] Step 4: After the surface of the flip assembly 3 is in contact with the glass plate 9, the vacuum adsorption assembly 5 is used to stably adsorb and fix the glass plate 9 on the surface of the flip assembly 3;

[0063] Step 5: The support assembly 1 then drives the sliding assembly 2, the flip assembly 3, and the glass plate 9 to reset. During this process, the flip drive assembly 4 also drives the flip assembly 3 to reset. When the glass plate 9 is in a horizontal state, the vacuum adsorption assembly 5 stops working, and the piston rod of the flip drive assembly 4 continues to retract, causing the flip assembly 3 to tilt toward the side closer to the flip drive assembly 4, thereby making one side of the glass plate 9 flush with the edge of the flip assembly 3.

[0064] Step 6: At the same time, the two sets of calibration and positioning components 6 work simultaneously, causing their working parts to rotate toward the middle of the flip component 3 at the same time, thereby completing the automatic centering of the glass plate 9 and thus completing the precise positioning of the glass plate 9;

[0065] Step 7: After the glass plate 9 is positioned, the flip drive assembly 4 drives the flip assembly 3 to rotate to a horizontal state, and the glass cutting assembly 7 starts to accurately cut the glass plate 9.
