Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glass basin technology, and in particular relates to a tooling for processing the drain outlet of an ultra-thick integrated glass basin. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern architecture and interior design aesthetics, bathroom space design tends to be minimalist, integrated and high-quality. Ultra-thick integrated glass basins are gradually becoming the darling of the high-end bathroom market because of their transparent material, simple shape, warm touch and easy cleaning. These basins are usually made of tempered glass with a thickness of more than 20mm, or even more than 40mm, which is very heavy and has extremely high material hardness.
[0003] The drain outlet is the core of the basin's functionality. Its processing quality directly affects drainage efficiency, user experience, and product aesthetics. A qualified drain outlet typically includes a vertical inner hole and a conical or curved surface that smoothly transitions with the basin's surface. For ultra-thick glass materials, the processing of this part requires multiple precision processes such as drilling, grinding, and polishing.
[0004] Currently, the industry generally faces the following pain points and technical bottlenecks in processing the drain outlets of these ultra-thick glass basins: 1. Difficulty in Positioning and Fixing: Extra-thick glass basins are extremely heavy, irregularly shaped, and have smooth, hard glass surfaces, making them difficult to clamp effectively. Traditional clamps either lack sufficient clamping force for fear of crushing the glass, leading to workpiece displacement during processing and resulting in scrap; or they are inaccurately positioned, causing drain misalignment, affecting the overall design aesthetics and installation. Furthermore, frequent clamping can easily leave scratches or stress concentration points on the glass surface. 2. Multiple processes are separated, resulting in low efficiency: Existing processing methods usually separate drilling, internal grinding, transition surface grinding, internal polishing, and transition surface polishing processes. Operators need to repeatedly transfer and re-clamp the basin between different equipment or workstations. This not only leads to extremely low production efficiency, but more importantly, each re-clamping introduces new positioning errors, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity of the processing benchmarks of each process. Ultimately, this affects the roundness, concentricity, and smoothness of the transition surface of the drain outlet.
[0005] 3. Difficulty in guaranteeing machining accuracy and consistency: Due to the lack of dedicated integrated machining equipment, operators need to manually change tools and adjust machining parameters when performing different processes. Human subjective factors have a great influence, and the stability of machining quality depends entirely on the operator's experience and skill level. It is difficult to achieve standardized and large-scale production, and the product yield rate is difficult to guarantee.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a specialized machining tool that can solve all the above problems in order to achieve efficient, precise and automated machining of the drain outlet of an ultra-thick integrated glass basin. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling for machining the drain outlet of an ultra-thick integrated glass basin. Through the design of the support frame and integrated slide, the five functional heads required for drain outlet machining (internal drill bit, internal grinding head, transition surface grinding head, internal polishing head, and transition surface polishing head) can be integrated into a sliding integrated slide. By simply pushing the integrated slide on the slide body, the next required tool head can be quickly and accurately moved to the bottom of the milling machine spindle. The original scattered and time-consuming multiple processes are integrated into one clamping station, reducing tooling changeover and tool setting time, and achieving extremely high efficiency brought about by process integration.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention relates to a tooling for processing the drain outlet of an ultra-thick integrated glass basin, comprising a set of clamping seats, a support frame, and an integrated sliding seat; The inner side of the material clamping seat is provided with an arc-shaped basin port, the two material clamping seats are symmetrically arranged, and the outer side of the material clamping seat is provided with a workbench connector; The support frame includes a strip-shaped top plate, with connecting columns fixed at both ends of the top plate. The connecting columns at both ends of the top plate are detachably connected to the top of the material holder via a fastening mechanism. A strip-shaped opening is provided on the top plate along its length, and a sliding groove is provided on both sides of the strip opening. The integrated slide block is provided with sliding edges on both sides. The integrated slide block is slidably disposed in the strip-shaped opening through the sliding edges and the sliding groove body. The length of the strip-shaped opening is twice the length of the integrated slide block. The integrated slide is linearly provided with six sleeves, and infrared emitters facing upward and downward are fixed in the sleeves at one end of the integrated slide respectively. The other five sleeves of the integrated slide are each slidably connected with a rotating rod. The top of the rotating rod is provided with a square opening. The circumferential side of the top of the rotating rod is rotatably connected with an end plate. A spring is fixed between the end plate and the upper surface of the integrated slide. The bottom of the rotating rod inside the five sleeves is provided with an internal hole drill bit, an internal hole grinding head, a transition surface grinding head, an internal hole polishing head, and a transition surface polishing head arranged in sequence with the infrared emitter.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower outer side of the material holder is integrally provided with a low platform, and both sides of the top of the low platform are fixed with horizontal edges extending to the outer side of the low platform, and the workbench connector is provided at the outer end of the horizontal edge.
[0010] Furthermore, the workbench connector includes a threaded sleeve integrally disposed at the outer end of the horizontal edge, a screw threaded on the inner thread of the threaded sleeve, a handle at the top of the screw thread, and a horizontal locking head at the bottom of the screw thread.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a basin body, the top and bottom edges of which are both waist-shaped structures, and a side wall connecting the top and bottom surfaces of the basin body, the side wall being an expanding surface that gradually widens from the bottom surface to the top surface.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a milling machine device, wherein the clamping seat is mounted on the worktable of the milling machine device via a worktable connector, and the rotating end of the milling machine device is provided with a square head adapted to the square opening.
[0013] Furthermore, the two ends of the basin body are fitted into the basin port, and the top plate body is positioned directly above the basin body and parallel to the length direction of the basin body.
[0014] Furthermore, when the end of the integrated slide away from the infrared emitter is in contact with the end of the strip-shaped opening, the upward-facing and downward-facing infrared emitters are respectively opposite to the square head of the milling machine device and opposite to the center point of the bottom surface of the basin body.
[0015] Furthermore, when the integrated slide is in contact with one end of the infrared emitter and one end of the slot, the infrared emitter and the basin body do not interfere with each other. When the other end of the integrated slide is in contact with the other end of the slot, the transition surface polishing head at the far end of the infrared emitter and the basin body do not interfere with each other.
[0016] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting column, the mounting base has two mounting ports, a set of preset holes are provided on the low platform, the fastening mechanism is a screw structure, and the mounting base is fixed to the low platform through the mounting ports, the preset holes and the fastening mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, both the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding edge are provided with soft pads, and the sliding edge is interference-fitted into the sliding groove body through the soft pads.
[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention, through the design of a support frame and an integrated slide, integrates five functional heads (internal drill bit, internal grinding head, transition surface grinding head, internal polishing head, and transition surface polishing head) required for the machining of the sprue into a single sliding integrated slide. During machining, the operator does not need to change tools; they only need to gently push the integrated slide on the slide body to quickly and accurately move the next required tool head to the bottom of the milling machine spindle. This design integrates the originally scattered and time-consuming multiple processes into a single clamping station, reducing tooling changeover and tool setting time, and increasing production efficiency several times over, achieving the extremely high efficiency brought about by process integration.
[0019] 2. This invention uses a clamping seat with a basin port as a support, and utilizes the huge weight of the ultra-thick glass basin itself to achieve initial positioning and stable placement, fundamentally avoiding rigid and strong mechanical clamping of the glass surface, and completely eliminating the risk of glass breakage, surface scratches or internal stress damage caused by improper clamping force.
[0020] 3. Through the design of the support frame and integrated slide, this invention ensures that the basin is positioned only once during the entire processing. All processing tools operate based on the same positioning system, perfectly guaranteeing the concentricity and positional accuracy between drilling, grinding, and polishing processes. This ensures good roundness of the drain hole and a smooth, seamless connection between the transition surface and the basin surface, significantly improving the product's quality and drainage performance. At the same time, this method greatly reduces reliance on the operator's personal skills, ensuring the stability and consistency of product quality across different batches, and significantly increasing the yield rate.
[0021] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention is a tooling for processing the drain outlet of an ultra-thick integrated glass basin, including a set of clamping seats 1, support frames 2 and integrated sliding seats 3; The inner side of the material clamping seat 1 is provided with an arc-shaped basin port 101, the two material clamping seats 1 are symmetrically arranged, and the outer side of the material clamping seat 1 is provided with a workbench connector 4; The support frame 2 includes a strip-shaped top plate 201. Connecting columns 202 are fixed at both ends of the top plate 201. The connecting columns 202 at both ends of the top plate 201 are detachably connected to the top of the material holder 1 through a fastening mechanism 203. A strip-shaped opening 204 is provided on the top plate 201 along the length direction. Slide grooves 205 are provided on both sides of the strip opening 204. The integrated slide block 3 has sliding edges 312 on both sides. The integrated slide block 3 is slidably disposed in the strip opening 204 through the sliding edges 312 and the slide groove body 205. The length of the strip opening 204 is twice the length of the integrated slide block 3. The integrated slide block 3 is linearly provided with six sleeves 301, and infrared emitters 302 facing upward and downward are fixed in the sleeves 301 at one end of the integrated slide block 3 respectively. The other five sleeves 301 of the integrated slide block 3 are all slidably connected with rotating rods 303. The top of the rotating rod 303 is provided with a square opening 304. The circumferential side of the top of the rotating rod 303 is rotatably connected with an end plate 305. A spring 306 is fixed between the end plate 305 and the upper surface of the integrated slide block 3. The bottom end of the rotating rod 303 inside the five sleeves 301 is provided with an inner hole drill bit 307, an inner hole grinding head 308, a transition surface grinding head 309, an inner hole polishing head 310 and a transition surface polishing head 311 arranged in sequence with the infrared emitter 302.
[0026] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a low platform 102 is integrally provided on the lower outer side of the material holder 1. Both sides of the top of the low platform 102 are fixed with horizontal edges 103 extending to the outer side of the low platform 102. The workbench connector 4 is provided at the outer end of the horizontal edge 103.
[0027] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the workbench connector 4 includes a threaded sleeve 401, which is integrally disposed on the outer end of the horizontal edge 103. The threaded sleeve 401 has a screw 402 with an internal thread. The top end of the screw 402 is provided with a handle 403, and the bottom end of the screw 402 is provided with a horizontal locking head 404.
[0028] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a basin body 5. The top and bottom edges of the basin body 5 are both waist-shaped structures. A side wall connects the top and bottom surfaces of the basin body 5. The side wall is an expanding surface that gradually widens from the bottom surface to the top surface.
[0029] It also includes a milling machine device. The clamping seat 1 is installed on the worktable of the milling machine device through the worktable connector 4. The rotating end of the milling machine device is provided with a square head that is compatible with the square opening 304.
[0030] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the basin body 5 are fitted into the basin port 101, and the top plate 201 is located directly above the basin body 5 and parallel to the length direction of the basin body 5.
[0031] When the end of the integrated slide block 3 away from the infrared emitter 302 is in contact with the end of the strip opening 204, the upward and downward infrared emitters 302 are respectively opposite to the square head of the milling machine device and opposite to the center point of the bottom surface of the basin body 5.
[0032] Specifically, when one end of the integrated slide block 3 is close to the infrared emitter 302 and contacts one end of the strip opening 204, the infrared emitter 302 and the basin body 5 do not interfere with each other. When the other end of the integrated slide block 3 contacts the other end of the strip opening 204, the transition surface polishing head 311 at the far end of the infrared emitter 302 and the basin body 5 do not interfere with each other.
[0033] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a mounting base 206 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 202. The mounting base 206 has two mounting ports, and a set of preset holes are provided on the low platform 102. The fastening mechanism 203 is a screw structure. The mounting base 206 is fixed to the low platform 102 through the mounting ports, the preset holes and the fastening mechanism 203.
[0034] The upper and lower surfaces of the sliding edge 312 are provided with soft pads, and the sliding edge 312 is interference-fitted into the slide groove 205 by the soft pads.
[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Place the two clamping seats 1 on the worktable of the milling machine. Do not tighten the worktable connector 4 and the worktable yet. Place the basin body on the two clamping seats 1 through the basin port 101 on the clamping seat 1 (a crossbeam can be set between the two clamping seats 1 for positioning and connection between the two clamping seats 1). The basin body 5 is positioned on the two clamping seats 1 by gravity (because the glass basin is thick and heavy, it can be positioned by gravity. Similarly, an adsorption component can be set on the two clamping seats 1 to adsorb and tighten the basin body 5). Adjust the position of the clamping seats 1 and the upper basin body 5 to ensure alignment with the worktable (before adjusting the position, align the end of the integrated slide 3 away from the infrared emitter 302 with the end of the strip opening 204. At this time, the infrared emitter 302 is opposite to the center point of the basin body 5. At the same time, perform precise calibration according to the positioning of the infrared emitter 302 and the square head of the milling machine). After the adjustment, tighten the clamping seats 1 by cooperating with the T-slot on the worktable through the worktable connector 4. The position of the movable integrated slide 3 within the slot 204 ensures that the rotating rod 303 of the inner hole drill bit 307 is located directly below the square head. The square head enables the milling machine device to connect with the rotating rod 303. During this process, the integrated slide 3 ensures that it will not shift due to the interference force and friction provided by the soft pad. At this time, the milling machine device drives the inner hole drill bit 307 to rotate and descend, enabling the inner hole to be opened on the basin body 5. By switching different rotating rods 303 according to the above method, the inner hole grinding, transition surface grinding, inner hole polishing and transition surface polishing are performed on the basin body 5 in sequence. During each process, waste chips and other impurities can be absorbed by the external adsorption system.
