Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glassware processing equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic laser de-rimming device for glassware. Background Technology

[0002] Glassware includes glass goblets. After the glass goblets are demolded and formed, they need to be cut horizontally using equipment such as laser cutting. The cut glass goblets need to be passed through the flame area of ​​a blowtorch to heat them, so that the cut glass part separates from the glass body, thus forming the rim of the glass goblets. This is known in the industry as "rim removal".

[0003] Existing patents include Chinese patent publication number CN114105449A, titled "A Laser Blasting Machine for the Production of Stem Glasses". This patent includes "a feeding assembly and a blasting machine body. The feeding assembly includes a conveyor belt and a feeding mechanical gripper that communicates with the surface of the blasting machine body. A worktable is rotatably connected to the surface of the blasting machine body. The glass is then fed to a three-jaw clamping cylinder for gripping by the feeding mechanism. Blasting and polishing operations are then performed sequentially. The multi-station design can combine multiple processes together, greatly improving processing efficiency."

[0004] In existing technologies, a mechanical gripper grasps an inverted glass goblet and moves it to the laser cutting area. The gripper then rotates the goblet axially, allowing the circumference of the goblet to be irradiated by the laser, thus cutting the rim. However, a drawback of this technology is that, because the gripper grasps the goblet's foot, excessive clamping force is necessary to prevent breakage during gripping. Insufficient clamping force can lead to slippage and wobbling of the goblet relative to the gripper during high-speed rotation, resulting in an uneven rim after laser cutting. Adding a flexible rubber pad to the gripper to contact the goblet's foot is also problematic, as the pad is easily damaged when the gripper passes through the flame zone. Therefore, to ensure good rim quality for the goblet, we propose a new technical solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic laser de-rimming device for glassware, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automated laser de-rimming device for glassware includes an intermittently rotating machine base. Multiple mechanical grippers are evenly arranged circumferentially on the top of the machine base. Each mechanical gripper has a support platform below it. Each support platform is movably connected to the machine base via a linear drive mechanism. A rotatable positioning seat is movably mounted on each support platform. When the support platform is at the end of the linear drive mechanism's stroke, the glass goblet held by the mechanical grippers receives an upward supporting force from the positioning seat.

[0008] Preferably, the linear drive mechanism includes a guide rail frame unit fixed to the side of the machine tool. The guide rail frame unit is slidably mounted with a slider unit that can reciprocate vertically. A telescopic drive cylinder unit is installed between the slider unit and the guide rail frame unit. The telescopic drive cylinder unit can provide driving force for the slider unit to move along the guide rail frame unit. When the slider unit moves, it can drive the support platform to move synchronously in the vertical direction.

[0009] Preferably, the guide rail frame unit includes multiple vertically movable guide rods that pass through the slider unit. The top of each guide rod is fixed to the same top plate, and the bottom of each guide rod is fixed to the same bottom plate. Both the top plate and the bottom plate are fixed to the side of the machine base.

[0010] Preferably, the slider unit includes a block for the guide rod to pass through. A notch is provided on one side of the block, and a horizontally arranged shaft is rotatably installed in the notch. The shaft is fixed to the support platform by a connecting arm, and a locking component that can restrict the rotation of the shaft is provided between the block and the top plate.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic drive cylinder unit includes a telescopic cylinder, a rack is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder, and a first gear that meshes with the rack is coaxially fixed on the shaft column.

[0012] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a stop post connected to the end of the notched groove, a through opening is provided on the top surface of the connecting arm, and a pin is fixed below the top plate that can be inserted into the through opening. When the pin is inserted into the through opening, the shaft is in a locked state.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the connecting arm has a receiving cavity, a shaft is rotatably mounted in the receiving cavity, a cam that can contact the stop post is coaxially fixed on the shaft, and an adjustment component for adjusting the deflection of the cam is installed in the receiving cavity.

[0014] Preferably, the control component includes a slide opening that connects the through-hole to the receiving cavity. A rack is adapted to be inserted into the slide opening. A worm gear is rotatably installed in the receiving cavity. A worm wheel, which is fixed coaxially with the shaft, meshes on the worm gear. A second gear, which meshes with the rack, is fixed coaxially on the worm gear. The rack has a through-hole at the top of its body in the through-hole. The bottom end of the pin has a conical surface that can contact the edge of the through-hole.

[0015] Preferably, each of the guide rods has a stop block fixed on its body, and each stop block can simultaneously support the bottom of the block. When the block contacts the stop block, the pin is completely disengaged from the through hole, and the shaft is in a locked / unlocked state.

[0016] Preferably, the positioning seat includes a rotating plate, the top surface of which is fixed with a frustum block, and the bottom surface of the rotating plate is connected to the support platform via a planar thrust bearing.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the fully automatic laser rim-removing equipment for glassware provided by the present invention sets corresponding support platforms under each mechanical gripper, and rotatably installs corresponding positioning seats on the support platforms. Under the support of the linear drive mechanism, the glass goblet held by the mechanical grippers can be supported by the upward force of the positioning seats. At this time, vertically, one end of the glass goblet is subjected to the force of the mechanical grippers, and the other end of the glass goblet is subjected to the support force of the positioning seats. The glass goblet is in a clamped state in the axial direction. That is to say, both ends of the glass goblet can be subjected to force, thereby improving the stability of the glass goblet during high-speed axial rotation, ensuring that the rim of the glass goblet has good forming quality, and facilitating the smooth progress of the entire rim-removing process of the glass goblet.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a fully automatic laser de-rimming device for glassware, comprising an intermittently rotating machine base 1, with multiple mechanical grippers 2 evenly arranged on the top circumference of the machine base 1, and a support platform 3 provided below each mechanical gripper 2. Each support platform 3 is movably connected to the machine base 1 through a linear drive mechanism 4, and a rotatable positioning seat 5 is movably installed on each support platform 3. When the support platform 3 is at the end of the stroke of the linear drive mechanism 4, the glass goblet held by the mechanical gripper 2 can be supported by an upward force from the positioning seat 5.

[0028] Specifically, the intermittently rotating machine 1 is existing technology. The machine 1 has, in sequence, processing positions such as a loading position, a laser cutting position, and a flame-spraying position. The loading position is where the glass goblet is clamped between the mechanical gripper 2, which is in a non-rotating state. At the laser cutting position, the mechanical gripper 2 drives the glass goblet to rotate rapidly. The axis of rotation of the mechanical gripper 2 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, allowing the laser cutter to cut along the circumference of the goblet, thus forming the rim. The flame-spraying position uses a flame gun to create a flame area, which then flames the laser-cut area of ​​the goblet. In actual operation, the machine 1 rotates a fixed angle, pauses for a few seconds at the corresponding processing position, and then begins the next round of intermittent rotation. This allows each glass goblet to pass through the processing positions sequentially under the influence of the mechanical grippers 2.

[0029] The support platform 3 is a plate structure. When supporting the glass stemmed glass, the top surface of the support platform 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the top surface of the positioning seat 5 is also parallel to the horizontal plane. The support platform 3 is movably connected to the machine base 1 through the linear drive mechanism 4. The linear drive mechanism 4 has an initial position and an end position in the vertical stroke. When the support platform 3 can be driven by the linear drive mechanism 4 and moves synchronously in the vertical direction, when the linear drive mechanism 4 is in the end position, the positioning seat 5 on the support platform 3 applies a force to the glass stemmed glass in the direction of the mechanical gripper 2, and the upper and lower ends of the glass stemmed glass are clamped. When the linear drive mechanism 4 is in the initial position, the positioning seat 5 on the support platform 3 removes the force on the glass stemmed glass in the direction of the mechanical gripper 2, and only the stem part at the top of the glass stemmed glass is clamped.

[0030] It should be noted that in this application, a support position is also provided between the loading position and the laser cutting position, and a receiving position is provided between the laser cutting position and the flame spraying position. In actual use, the mechanical gripper 2 grasps the glass goblet at the loading position, and then the machine table 1 rotates intermittently. When the mechanical gripper 2 moves the glass goblet to the support position, during this period of dwell time, the support platform 3 is pushed vertically upward by the linear drive mechanism 4. When the support platform 3 is at the end of the stroke of the linear drive mechanism 4, the bottom of the glass goblet held by the mechanical gripper 2 can be supported by the positioning seat 5. The support force is applied vertically. One end of the glass goblet is subjected to the force of the mechanical gripper 2, and the other end is supported by the positioning seat 5. The glass goblet is clamped in the axial direction, meaning that both ends of the glass goblet are subjected to force. Then, the machine table 1 rotates intermittently again. When the mechanical gripper 2 drives the glass goblet to stop at the support position, the mechanical gripper 2 drives the glass goblet to rotate at high speed, thereby improving the stability of the glass goblet during high-speed rotation and ensuring that the mouth of the glass goblet has good forming quality, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the entire glass goblet rim removal process.

[0031] When the mechanical gripper 2 moves the glass goblet to the receiving position, during this period of time, the support platform 3 is pulled downward by the linear drive mechanism 4. When the support platform 3 is at the beginning of the stroke of the linear drive mechanism 4, the upward supporting force of the positioning seat 5 is removed below the glass goblet held by the mechanical gripper 2, and the bottom of the glass goblet is no longer subject to the force of the positioning seat 5. Then, under the gripping action of the mechanical gripper 2, the glass goblet enters the flame-spraying position as the machine 1 rotates.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, the linear drive mechanism 4 includes a guide rail frame unit 4.1 fixed to the side of the machine base 1. The guide rail frame unit 4.1 is slidably mounted with a slider unit 4.2 that can reciprocate vertically. A telescopic drive cylinder unit 4.3 is installed between the slider unit 4.2 and the guide rail frame unit 4.1. The telescopic drive cylinder unit 4.3 can provide driving force for the slider unit 4.2 to move along the guide rail frame unit 4.1. When the slider unit 4.2 moves, it can drive the support platform 3 to move synchronously in the vertical direction.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide rail unit 4.1 includes multiple vertically movable guide rods 4.11 that penetrate the slider unit 4.2. The length direction of each guide rod 4.11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The top of each guide rod 4.11 is fixed to the same top plate 4.12, and the bottom of each guide rod 4.11 is fixed to the same bottom plate 4.13. Both the top plate 4.12 and the bottom plate 4.13 are fixed to the side of the machine base 1, and the surfaces of the top plate 4.12 and the bottom plate 4.13 are parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0034] Furthermore, the slider unit 4.2 includes a block 4.21 through which the guide rod 4.11 moves. The block 4.21 is a rectangular block, and a notch 4.22 is provided on one side of the block 4.21. A horizontally arranged shaft 4.23 is rotatably installed in the notch 4.22. The two ends of the shaft 4.23 are rotatably installed perpendicular to the groove wall of the notch 4.22. The shaft 4.23 can rotate axially in the notch 4.22. The shaft 4.23 is fixed to the support platform 3 by a connecting arm 4.24. The length direction line of the connecting arm 4.24 is perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 4.23. A locking component 6 is provided between the block 4.21 and the top plate 4.12 to restrict the rotation of the shaft 4.23. That is, the locking component 6 can make the shaft 4.23 in an unlocked state that allows axial rotation, and the locking component 6 can also make the shaft 4.23 in a locked state that prevents axial rotation.

[0035] The telescopic drive cylinder unit 4.3 includes a telescopic cylinder 4.31. The driving direction line of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A rack 4.32 is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31. A first gear 4.33 that meshes with the rack 4.32 is coaxially fixed on the shaft column 4.23.

[0036] Specifically, the locking assembly 6 includes a stop post 6.1 connected to the end of the notch 4.22. The length direction of the stop post 6.1 is parallel to the axis of the shaft post 4.23. The stop post 6.1 is always located above the connecting arm 4.24. The top surface of the connecting arm 4.24 has a through hole 6.2. A pin 6.3 that can be inserted into the through hole 6.2 is fixed below the top plate 4.12. The length direction of the pin 6.3 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When the pin 6.3 is inserted into the through hole 6.2, the shaft post 4.23 is in a locked state.

[0037] Preferably, the top of the connecting arm 4.24 has a receiving cavity 6.4, and a shaft 6.5 is rotatably mounted in the receiving cavity 6.4. The axis of the shaft 6.5 is parallel to the axis of the shaft post 4.23. A cam 6.6 that can contact the stop post 6.1 is coaxially fixed on the shaft 6.5. The top of the receiving cavity 6.4 has a notch located directly above the cam 6.6. The cam 6.6 can extend out of the top of the connecting arm 4.24 through the notch, so that the wheel of the cam 6.6 protrudes from the top surface of the connecting arm 4.24. An adjustment component 7 for adjusting the deflection of the cam 6.6 is installed in the receiving cavity 6.4. The adjustment component 7 can adjust the height of the wheel of the cam 6.6 protruding from the top surface of the connecting arm 4.24.

[0038] Furthermore, the control component 7 includes a slide 7.1 that connects the through port 6.2 to the receiving cavity 6.4. The length direction of the slide 7.1 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting arm 4.24. A rack 7.2 is fitted and inserted into the slide 7.1. A worm 7.3 is rotatably installed in the receiving cavity 6.4. The axis of the worm 7.3 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting arm 4.24. A worm wheel 7.4 meshes with the worm 7.3 and is coaxially fixed to the shaft 6.5. A second gear 7.5 that meshes with the rack 7.2 is coaxially fixed to the rod of the worm 7.3. The rack 7.2 has a through port 7.6 at the top of the rod of the through port 6.2. The bottom end of the pin 6.3 has a conical surface 7.7 that can contact the edge surface of the through port 7.6.

[0039] Preferably, each guide rod 4.11 has a stop block 8 fixed on its body. Each stop block 8 can simultaneously support the bottom of the block 4.21. When the block 4.21 contacts the stop block 8, the pin 6.3 is completely disengaged from the through hole 6.2, and the shaft 4.23 is in a locked / unlocked state.

[0040] In actual use, for example, when the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is in the retracted state, the stop blocks 8 simultaneously support the bottom of the block 4.21, the plate surface of the support platform 3 is in a downward tilted and retracted state, the pin 6.3 is completely disengaged from the through-hole 6.2, and the extension line of the end of the pin 6.3 and the axis of the through-hole 6.2 are not on the same straight line. At this time, the shaft column 4.23 is also in the locked and unlocked state.

[0041] The telescopic cylinder 4.31 passes through various positions intermittently as the machine base 1 rotates intermittently. When the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is in the support position, the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 extends upward. At this time, the rack 4.32, which is fixed coaxially with the telescopic cylinder 4.31, drives the meshing first gear 4.33 to rotate in the forward direction. This causes the shaft column 4.23, which is fixed coaxially with the first gear 4.33, to also rotate in the forward direction. The shaft column 4.23 also drives the support platform 3 to deflect in the forward direction through the connecting arm 4.24.

[0042] When the cam 6.6 on the arm of the connecting arm 4.24 is blocked by the stop 6.1 and cannot continue to deflect forward, the plate surface of the support platform 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the extension line of the pin 6.3 can pass through the through hole 6.2 and the through hole 7.6. The end of the pin 6.3 is aligned with the through hole 6.2 and the through hole 7.6 on the same vertical line. At this time, the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 also completes the first stage of the upward extension movement.

[0043] As the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 continues to extend upward, under the support of the shaft column 4.23 and the stop column 6.1, the block 4.21 moves upward along the guide rod 4.11, thereby separating the block 4.21 from the stop block 8 on the guide rod 4.11, so that the support platform 3 and the positioning seat 5 connected to the shaft column 4.23 by the connecting arm 4.24 move upward synchronously.

[0044] During the upward movement, the bottom end of the pin 6.3 passes through the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6. At this time, the locking assembly 6 can also keep the shaft 4.23 in a locked state that cannot rotate axially until the positioning seat 5 contacts the bottom of the glass goblet. Finally, the bottom of the glass goblet held by the mechanical gripper 2 can be supported by the upward force of the positioning seat 5. At this time, the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 also completes the second stage of the upward extension movement.

[0045] It should be noted that when the cam 6.6 on the arm of the connecting arm 4.24 is blocked by the stop 6.1 and cannot continue to deflect forward, that is, after the first stage of the extension movement of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is completed, in this state, if the plate surface of the support platform 3 is not completely parallel to the horizontal plane, then the extension line of the pin 6.3 is not completely parallel to the axis of the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6. For example, at this time, there is still a certain distance between the extension line of the pin 6.3 and the axis of the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6. Angle α, where the value of angle α in degrees is 0 < α < 5, within this angle range, as the output shaft of telescopic cylinder 4.31 continues to extend upward, that is, during the second stage of the extension movement of telescopic cylinder 4.31, the tapered part 7.7 at the bottom end of pin 6.3 contacts and is squeezed with the through port 7.6. During the squeezing process, the component force generated by the tapered part 7.7 of pin 6.3 on the edge of through port 7.6 along the length direction of rack 7.2 causes rack 7.2 to slide within slide opening 7.1;

[0046] For example, when the angle between the plate surface of the support platform 3 and the horizontal plane is a positive angle, under the squeezing action of the conical part 7.7 on one side edge of the through 7.6, the rack 7.2 slides forward in the slide 7.1, thereby the second gear 7.5 meshing with the rack 7.2 drives the worm 7.3 to rotate forward, and the worm 7.3 drives the shaft 6.5 to rotate accordingly through the meshing worm wheel 7.4. At this time, the cam 6.6 fixed to the shaft 6.5 protrudes at the top surface of the connecting arm 4.24, thereby realizing that the angle between the plate surface of the support platform 3 and the horizontal plane is zero, and the plate surface of the support platform 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0047] Similarly, when the angle between the plate surface of the support platform 3 and the horizontal plane is negative, under the squeezing action of the conical surface 7.7 on the other side edge of the through 7.6, the rack 7.2 slides in the reverse direction in the slide 7.1, thereby causing the second gear 7.5 meshing with the rack 7.2 to drive the worm 7.3 to rotate in the opposite direction. The worm 7.3 then drives the shaft 6.5 to rotate in the corresponding direction through the meshing worm wheel 7.4. At this time, the cam 6.6 fixed to the shaft 6.5 protrudes higher on the top surface of the connecting arm 4.24, thereby achieving a zero angle between the plate surface of the support platform 3 and the horizontal plane. At this time, the plate surface of the support platform 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0048] In other words, under normal circumstances, after the first stage of the extension movement of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is completed, if the plate surface of the support platform 3 is completely parallel to the horizontal plane, that is, the end of the pin 6.3 is aligned with the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6 on the same vertical straight line, then the extension line of the pin 6.3 and the axis of the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6 are on the same straight line or parallel straight line, and there is no included angle α.

[0049] If the first stage of the extension movement of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is completed, and if the plate surface of the support platform 3 is not parallel to the horizontal plane at this time, then the extension line of the pin 6.3 must have a certain angle α with the axis of the through-hole 6.2 and the through-hole 7.6. Usually, this angle is within 5 degrees. Therefore, during the second stage of the extension movement of the telescopic cylinder 4.31, the conical part 7.7 at the bottom end of the pin 6.3 comes into contact with the through-hole 7.6 and is squeezed.

[0050] Thus, when the surface of the support platform 3 is not completely parallel to the horizontal plane, the locking component 6 and the adjustment component 7 can automatically correct the surface of the support platform 3 to be parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0051] As the machine base 1 rotates intermittently, the telescopic cylinder 4.31 passes through various positions in turn. When the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is in the retracted position, its output shaft retracts downward. At this time, the block 4.21 moves downward along the guide rod 4.11, and the block 4.21 comes into contact with the stop block 8 on the guide rod 4.11. At this time, the pin 6.3 is completely disengaged from the through-hole 6.2, and the shaft 4.23 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 has also completed the first stage of its downward retraction movement.

[0052] As the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 4.31 continues to retract downwards, the rack 4.32, which is coaxially fixed with the telescopic cylinder 4.31, drives the meshing first gear 4.33 to rotate in the opposite direction. This causes the shaft 4.23, which is coaxially fixed with the first gear 4.33, to also rotate in the opposite direction. The shaft 4.23, through the connecting arm 4.24, drives the support platform 3 to deflect in the opposite direction, so that the support platform 3 is in a downward tilted and retracted state. The positioning seat 5 is completely disengaged from the glass goblet. When the telescopic cylinder 4.31 is in the flame-spraying position, the plate surface of the retracted support platform 3 also serves to shield and isolate the heat conduction on the side of the telescopic cylinder 4.31.

[0053] In short, the technical solution of this application, based on the existing technical work positions, that is, based on the original feeding position, laser cutting position, and flame spraying position of the machine tool 1, adds a support position and a receiving position in front of the laser cutting position and behind the laser cutting position, respectively. Furthermore, a support mechanism consisting of a support platform 3, a linear drive mechanism 4, and a positioning seat 5 is installed on the machine tool 1. When in the support position, the support mechanism can form a clamping mechanism with the corresponding mechanical gripper 2. At this time, both ends of the glass goblet can be subjected to force, thereby improving the stability of the glass goblet during the rotation process.

[0054] On the other hand, as the linear drive mechanism 4 approaches the glass stem via the positioning seat 5, the support platform 3 first switches from the avoidance state to the support state, and the support platform 3 in the support state then moves linearly along the vertical direction. It should be noted that in the support state, the plate surface of the support platform 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In addition, during the linear movement of the support platform 3 in the support state, it also has the function of automatically correcting the plate surface of the support platform 3 to be parallel to the horizontal plane. On the other hand, in the retracted position, the plate surface of the support platform 3 in the avoidance state also plays a role in shielding and isolating heat conduction on the side of the telescopic cylinder 4.31.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention, the positioning base 5 includes a rotating plate 5.1, and a frustum block 5.2 is fixed on the top surface of the rotating plate 5.1. The top surface of the frustum block 5.2 is parallel to the plate surface of the support platform 3. The bottom surface of the rotating plate 5.1 is connected to the support platform 3 through a planar thrust bearing 5.3. When the bottom of the glass goblet is subjected to an upward supporting force from the positioning base 5, the rotating plate 5.1 rotates synchronously with the rotating glass goblet through the planar thrust bearing 5.3.

[0056] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
