Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of glass block processing, and in particular to a glass polishing apparatus and process. Background Technology

[0002] During the glass processing, glass blocks need to be cut to meet different size requirements. However, freshly cut glass blocks often have sharp edges and corners, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, a grinding machine is needed to remove the burrs and chamfer the edges before proceeding to the next processing stage.

[0003] During the polishing process, the cut glass blocks must be placed one by one on the polishing table. For small glass blocks, manual operation is currently used, with workers manually placing the glass blocks onto the polishing machine one by one for polishing. After polishing, the workers need to remove the glass blocks again and transfer them to a cleaning machine to remove any glass debris adhering to the surface.

[0004] The glass grinding process involves multiple steps and is inefficient when grinding large quantities of glass blocks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve glass polishing efficiency, this application provides a glass block polishing apparatus and process.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a glass block grinding device, which adopts the following technical solution: A glass polishing apparatus includes a loading platform, a polishing machine for polishing glass blocks, and a cleaning machine for cleaning glass blocks. It also includes a top guide rail extending from the polishing machine to the loading platform and the cleaning machine, and a feeding mechanism slidably mounted on the top guide rail. The polishing machine includes a polishing body, a polishing seat for placing glass blocks, and a suction cup mounted on the top of the polishing seat. The polishing seat includes a support body, a support rod mounted on the bottom of the support body, a movable block slidably mounted on the upper part of the support rod, multiple support guide rails mounted around the movable block and extending outward beyond the support body, an adjusting block slidably mounted on the support guide rails, and a lifting drive unit mounted on the polishing seat and driving the adjusting block to rise and fall. A connecting rod is rotatably connected between the adjusting block and the support rod, and the connecting rod adjusts the distance between the adjusting block and the support body as the movable block moves.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the top guide rail and feeding mechanism facilitates the automatic conveying of glass blocks between the loading platform, grinding machine, and washing machine, realizing the automation of the glass grinding process and significantly improving the efficiency of loading and unloading. The suction cup of the grinding machine can fix the glass block, ensuring that the glass block will not shift during the grinding process, thereby enhancing the stability of the grinding operation. The moving block, support guide rail, adjusting block, lifting drive, and connecting rod of the grinding base work together. The moving block can be driven by the lifting drive, and the distance between the adjusting block and the support body can be adjusted by the connecting rod. This allows the adjusting block to rise and retract towards the support body, enabling the adjustment and positioning of the glass block.

[0008] Optionally, the support rod is provided with a fixing block for rotatably connecting the connecting rod. The fixing block is arranged on the lower side of the moving block. When the adjusting block abuts against the side of the support body, the top surface of the adjusting block is higher than the top surface of the support body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed block provides a support point for the rotation of the connecting rod, and the fixed block is arranged below the moving block. When the lifting drive drives the moving block to rise, the connecting rod can drive the adjusting block to slide on the support guide rail towards the support body, so that the adjusting block can retract towards the support body while rising, facilitating the adjustment and positioning of the glass block. When the lifting drive drives the moving block to descend, the connecting rod drives the adjusting block to slide on the support guide rail away from the support body, so that the adjusting block spreads out while descending, without affecting the grinding of the glass block by the grinding body.

[0010] Optionally, the grinding base further includes a chip removal assembly. The bottom of the support body is provided with a mounting protrusion, and the side of the mounting protrusion is provided with an arrangement groove for arranging the chip removal assembly. The chip removal assembly includes a support crossbar and a scraping brush disposed at the end of the support crossbar. The arrangement groove is provided with a scraping spring for supporting the support crossbar.

[0011] By employing the above technical solution, during the process of the adjusting block rising and retracting to adjust the position of the glass block, the scraping brush can scrape and clean the surface of the adjusting block. The support spring provides stable elastic support for the scraping brush, ensuring effective contact between it and the surface of the adjusting block, thus guaranteeing the cleaning effect. Furthermore, its elastic properties ensure that the scraping brush does not interfere with the movement of the adjusting block. Specifically, during the movement of the adjusting block, the scraping brush can gradually scrape from the top to the bottom of the adjusting block; and as the adjusting block is compressed, the scraping brush retracts into its mounting slot. This design achieves comprehensive cleaning of the adjusting block surface while ensuring unimpeded movement, improving the system's reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0012] Optionally, the grinding base has a mounting base, the lifting drive is mounted on the mounting base and the output shaft end of the lifting drive is connected to the bottom of the moving block; a waterproof corrugated cover is fitted on the outside of the lifting drive, the top of the waterproof corrugated cover is connected to the bottom of the moving block and the bottom of the waterproof corrugated cover is connected to the top of the mounting base.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting base provides an installation position for the lifting drive component, enabling it to be stably installed and drive the moving block to rise and fall. A waterproof corrugated cover is fitted over the outside of the lifting drive component, with its top connected to the bottom of the moving block and its bottom connected to the mounting base. This prevents water from splashing onto the lifting drive component, avoiding damage due to water ingress and improving its service life and stability. Furthermore, the waterproof corrugated cover itself has good elasticity and can expand and contract synchronously with the lifting movement of the moving block, ensuring full protection without affecting its normal operation.

[0014] Optionally, a squeegee mechanism is provided on one side of the grinder. The squeegee mechanism includes a squeegee assembly and a drive assembly for driving the squeegee assembly to swing. The squeegee assembly includes a support column mounted on the grinder frame, a rotating disk rotatably sleeved on the top of the support column, a squeegee blade disposed on the side wall of the rotating disk, and an eccentric protrusion disposed on the top of the rotating disk. The drive assembly includes a vertical support rod mounted on the grinder frame, a lower pressure block slidably mounted on the vertical support rod, a support spring sleeved on the outside of the vertical support rod for supporting the lower pressure block, and a drive linkage rotatably connecting the lower pressure block and the rotating disk. The drive linkage is rotatably connected to the eccentric protrusion. When the lower pressure block is subjected to pressure, the drive linkage drives the rotating disk to rotate, causing the squeegee blade to swing. A squeegee strip and a suction strip are detachably mounted on the bottom of the squeegee blade, and the squeegee strip and the suction strip are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the wiping mechanism can treat the water on the surface of the glass block. The wiping blade of the wiping assembly can swing under the action of the drive assembly. When the lower pressure block of the drive assembly is under pressure, it drives the rotating disk to rotate through the drive linkage, thereby driving the wiping blade to swing. The wiping strip at the bottom of the wiping blade can remove the water on the surface of the glass block. The adjacently arranged water absorption strips can further absorb the residual water. Moreover, the wiping strips and water absorption strips are detachable, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance, and reduces the impact of water stains on the adsorption effect of the suction cup unit.

[0016] Optionally, the grinder has a transverse guide rail for sliding installation of the grinding base, and a transverse drive mechanism for driving the grinding base to move on the transverse guide rail is installed on one side of the grinder.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the transverse guide rail provides guidance for the movement of the grinding station, and the transverse drive mechanism drives the grinding station to move on the transverse guide rail, so that the grinding station can switch between the loading station, grinding station and unloading station of the grinding machine, realize the transfer of glass blocks between different processes, and improve the work efficiency and automation of glass grinding.

[0018] Optionally, the feeding mechanism includes a lifting assembly, a lifting drive component mounted on the top guide rail and driving the lifting assembly to move up and down, and a first drive component mounted on the top guide rail and driving the lifting assembly to move laterally; the lifting assembly includes a suction cup body, a plurality of suction cup units mounted on the suction cup body, a pusher component slidably mounted on the center of the suction cup body, and a pusher spring mounted on the suction cup body and sleeved on the outside of the pusher component, the pusher spring driving the pusher component to detach the glass block from the suction cup units.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting drive component can drive the lifting assembly to move up and down, while the first drive component drives the lifting assembly to move laterally. The two work together to automate the transport of the glass block between different workstations. Multiple suction cup units work together to stably and reliably adsorb the glass block. When the suction cup unit stops adsorbing and rises, the pusher, with the help of the pusher spring, continuously applies downward force, stably pressing the glass block against the surface of the grinding seat until the suction cup unit and the glass block are completely separated. This mechanism reduces the probability of the glass block shifting or falling off during the detachment process, ensuring that it can stably and accurately detach from the suction cup body, further improving the reliability and positioning accuracy of the handling process.

[0020] Optionally, the suction cup body has a through sliding hole at the top, the pusher has a push rod slidably arranged in the sliding hole and a push head connected to the end of the push rod, the push spring is sleeved on the push rod, the upper end of the push rod is provided with a limiting piece to restrict the push rod from sliding down, and the bottom end of the push head is not higher than the bottom end of the suction cup unit.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, in the feeding mechanism of the glass grinding device, the push rod of the pusher is slidably arranged in the through groove. Cooperating with the push head connected to the bottom end of the push rod, the glass block can be stably detached from the suction cup body under the drive of the push spring. A limiting plate is provided at the upper end of the push rod to prevent it from slipping due to gravity, ensuring stable operation of the device. The bottom end of the push head is not higher than the bottom end of the suction cup unit, ensuring that the push head can effectively act on the glass block, achieving stable detachment of the glass block.

[0022] Optionally, the top of the loading platform is provided with a pushing mechanism and a baffle plate located on the opposite side of the pushing mechanism. There is a material release station between the pushing mechanism and the baffle plate. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing drive and a pushing plate disposed on the output shaft of the pushing drive. The lower part of the baffle plate is provided with an outlet for pushing out glass blocks. Limiting posts are also provided on the adjacent sides of the baffle plate on the loading platform.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing mechanism and the baffle plate work together to form a stable feeding station, facilitating the neat placement of stacked glass blocks. When the pushing mechanism pushes the bottom glass block, the glass blocks above are blocked by the baffle plate, allowing only the bottom glass block to be smoothly pushed out from the discharge port at the bottom of the baffle plate. This structure effectively reduces the possibility of multiple glass blocks sticking together when directly sucking up glass blocks, improving the reliability of discharge and the success rate of single-sheet separation. In addition, the limiting posts set on both sides of the baffle plate on the loading platform can effectively limit the placement of the glass blocks, keeping them in a stable position in the feeding station and improving the neatness of the stacking.

[0024] Secondly, this application provides a glass polishing process method, which adopts the following technical solution: A glass polishing process, employing the aforementioned glass block polishing device, includes the following steps: S1. The stacked glass blocks are placed at the feeding station, and the pushing mechanism pushes the bottom glass block out of the discharge port of the baffle plate. S2. The feeding mechanism picks up the pushed-out glass block and transports the glass block to the top of the grinding seat at the loading station; S3. Activate the lifting drive to drive the adjusting block to adjust the position of the glass block on the support body; S4. The suction cup at the top of the support body draws air and sucks up the glass block, and the horizontal drive mechanism drives the grinding seat to move below the grinding body, and the grinding body grinds the glass block. S5. After the glass block is polished, the feeding mechanism will transport the glass block to the cleaning machine for cleaning.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing mechanism pushes out the stacked glass blocks in sequence and transports them to the grinding seat through the feeding mechanism; the adjusting block can adjust the position of the glass blocks on the grinding seat under the linkage of the lifting drive and the connecting rod to ensure the grinding effect; the suction cup can effectively fix and grind the glass blocks; after the glass blocks are ground, they are transported to the cleaning machine for cleaning through the feeding mechanism to complete the cleaning process of the glass blocks, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: A glass grinding device is designed with a top guide rail and a feeding mechanism to facilitate the automatic transport of glass blocks between the loading table, the grinding machine, and the cleaning machine, thereby improving glass processing efficiency. The moving block, supporting guide rail, adjusting block, lifting drive component, and connecting rod of the grinding seat work together to adjust and position the glass block, reducing operational errors of the grinding body and damage to the glass block. By setting up an elastic scraping component, when the adjusting block rises and retracts, the scraping brush can gradually scrape from the top of the adjusting block to its bottom, and as the adjusting block is squeezed, the scraping brush will retract into the arrangement groove. By setting up a squeegee mechanism, water stains on the surface of the glass block can be removed, reducing the impact of water stains on the adsorption effect of the suction cup unit; By setting a pusher in the lifting assembly, the glass block can be stably pressed against the surface of the grinding base when the suction cup unit is separated from the glass block; A glass grinding process involves a pushing mechanism that pushes stacked glass blocks out sequentially and transports them to a grinding station via a feeding mechanism. After the glass blocks are ground, they are transported to a cleaning machine via the feeding mechanism for cleaning, thus automating the glass grinding and cleaning process.

[0040] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-12 This application will be described in further detail.

[0041] This application discloses a glass polishing apparatus. (Refer to...) Figure 1The glass grinding device includes a loading platform 1, a grinding machine 2 for grinding glass blocks, a cleaning machine 3 for cleaning glass blocks, a top guide rail 4 extending from the grinding machine 2 to the loading platform 1 and the cleaning machine 3, and a feeding mechanism 5 slidably mounted on the top guide rail 4. The loading platform 1, the grinding machine 2, and the cleaning machine 3 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the top guide rail 4.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 During operation, the feeding mechanism 5 slides on the top guide rail 4, taking glass blocks from the loading platform 1, first sending them to the grinding machine 2 for processing, then transporting them to the cleaning machine 3 for cleaning, ultimately completing all processes. The top guide rail 4 includes a first guide rail 41 positioned between the loading platform 1 and the grinding machine 2, and a second guide rail 42 positioned between the grinding machine 2 and the cleaning machine 3. The top guide rail 4 includes two guide rails, and support longitudinal rods for supporting the guide rails are symmetrically installed on both sides of the loading platform 1, the grinding machine 2, and the cleaning machine 3. A sliding crossbar is slidably connected between the two guide rails. The feeding mechanism 5 runs on the top guide rail 4, which is formed by the connection of the first guide rail 41 and the second guide rail 42, completely covering the entire process from loading, grinding to cleaning.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The feeding mechanism 5 includes a lifting assembly 51 mounted on the bottom of the sliding crossbar, a lifting drive 52 mounted on the top guide rail 4 and driving the lifting assembly 51 to move up and down, and a first drive 53 mounted on the top guide rail 4 and driving the lifting assembly 51 to move laterally. In this embodiment, the lifting drive 52 is a vertically arranged drive cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the top of the sliding crossbar, and the end of its piston rod is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 51. The first drive 53 is a horizontally arranged drive cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed to one side of the guide rail, and the piston rod pushes the entire lifting assembly 51 to move horizontally along the extension direction of the guide rail.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting assembly 51 includes a suction cup body 511, multiple suction cup units 512 mounted on the suction cup body 511, a pusher 513 slidably mounted at the center of the suction cup body 511, and a pusher spring 514 mounted on the suction cup body 511 and sleeved on the outside of the pusher 513. In this embodiment, there are four suction cup units 512 evenly distributed on the suction cup body 511, and the pusher 513 is mounted at the geometric center of the suction cup body 511.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The suction cup body 511 has a sliding through hole 5111 extending through its upper and lower surfaces. The pusher 513 has a pusher rod 5131 slidably arranged in the sliding through hole 5111 and a pusher head 5132 connected to the bottom end of the pusher rod 5131. The pusher rod 5131 extends through the sliding through hole 5111 and can slide axially within it. The bottom end of the pusher head 5132 is not higher than the bottom end of the suction cup unit 512. A limiting piece 5133 is also provided at the upper end of the pusher rod 5131 to prevent the pusher rod 5131 from sliding down. In this embodiment, the push head 5132 has a circular cross-sectional shape, and its diameter is larger than that of the push rod 5131. The push spring 514 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 5131 and located between the push head 5132 and the bottom of the suction cup body 511. One end of the push spring 514 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding through hole 5111, and the other end abuts against the push head 5132. When the suction cup unit 512 adsorbs the glass block, the push spring 514 is in a compressed state.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 The top of the loading platform 1 is provided with a pushing mechanism 11 and a baffle plate 12. The pushing mechanism 11 includes a pushing drive 111 and a pushing plate 112 disposed on the output shaft of the pushing drive 111. In this embodiment, the pushing drive 111 is a driving cylinder and is fixedly installed on one side of the loading platform 1. The output shaft of the pushing drive 111 extends horizontally and its end is fixedly connected to the pushing plate 112. The pushing plate 112 has an L-shaped plate structure, and its length direction is consistent with the moving direction of the glass block. A buffer pad layer is also provided on the side of the pushing plate 112 facing the glass block.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 A baffle plate 12 is vertically mounted on the top of the loading platform 1, opposite to the pushing mechanism 11, forming a feeding station 13 for placing stacked glass blocks. The lower part of the baffle plate 12 has an outlet 121 for pushing out glass blocks. The height of the outlet 121 is slightly greater than the thickness of a single glass block, ensuring that only one glass block can be pushed out at a time. Limiting posts 14 are also provided on adjacent sides of the baffle plate 12 on the loading platform 1. The limiting posts 14 are rectangular, with an elastic buffer pad covering their exterior. Their height is slightly higher than the height of the stacked glass blocks, used to limit the glass blocks placed in the feeding station 13, preventing them from shifting or tipping over during the pushing process and improving the neatness of the stack. After the bottom glass block is pushed out of the outlet 121 by the pushing drive 111, the feeding mechanism 5 transports the glass block to the grinding machine 2 for grinding.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The polishing machine 2 includes a polishing body 22 mounted on a polishing machine frame, a polishing seat 23 slidably mounted on the polishing machine frame for placing glass blocks, a transverse drive mechanism 24 for driving the polishing seat 23 to move laterally, and a water scraping mechanism 25 disposed on one side of the polishing machine frame. The high-speed rotating polishing disc of the polishing body 22 efficiently polishes the glass blocks placed on the polishing seat 23, and sprays water during operation to reduce dust. In this embodiment, the polishing machine 2 has a loading station, a polishing station, and a unloading station. The feeding mechanism 5 transports the glass block from the loading platform 1 to the loading station of the grinding machine 2. At this time, the grinding seat 23 is located at the loading station to receive the glass block. Then, the transverse drive mechanism 24 drives the grinding seat 23 to move the glass block from the loading station to the grinding station for grinding. The transverse drive mechanism 24 drives the grinding seat 23 to move the ground glass block from the grinding station to the unloading station. The feeding mechanism 5 then transports the ground glass block to the cleaning machine 3 for cleaning.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The grinding machine 2 has a transverse guide rail 29 for sliding the grinding base 23. The transverse drive mechanism 24 is a linear module. The drive motor of the linear module is mounted on one side of the grinding machine frame, and its output shaft is connected to the transmission screw. The connecting slider is threaded onto the transmission screw, which is arranged on one side of the grinding base 23 and has a bellows sleeve on its outer side. The connecting slider has a connecting part extending towards the grinding base 23, and the end of the connecting part is fixedly connected to the grinding base 23. When the transverse drive motor is started, it can drive the transmission screw to rotate, thereby driving the connecting slider to move so that the grinding base 23 can move linearly on the transverse guide rail 29, realizing the precise conversion of the grinding base 23 between the loading station, the grinding station, and the unloading station.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 The grinding base 23 is equipped with a suction cup 6 for fixing the glass block. The suction cup 6 generates negative pressure by evacuating air, which can firmly adhere to the glass block, reducing the probability of the glass block shifting or shaking during the grinding process and ensuring grinding accuracy.

[0051] Reference Figure 6The grinding base 23 includes a base body 231, a support rod 232 mounted on the bottom of the base body 231, a movable block 233 slidably mounted on the upper part of the support rod 232, multiple support guide rails 234 mounted around the movable block 233 and extending outward beyond the side wall of the base body 231, an adjusting block 235 slidably mounted on the support guide rails 234, and a lifting drive component 236 mounted on the grinding base 23 and driving the adjusting block 235 to rise and fall. The support rod 232 is vertically mounted at the bottom center of the base body 231. A connecting rod 237 is rotatably connected between the adjusting block 235 and the support column 2511. The support rod 232 is provided with a fixing block 2321 for rotatably connecting the connecting rod 237. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 237 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 2321 and the adjusting block 235 by a hinge. The fixing block 2321 is integrally mounted on the support rod 232, and the fixing block 2321 is located on the lower side of the moving block 233.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 The grinding base 23 has a mounting base 221 for mounting the support body 231. A lifting drive 236 is mounted on the top of the mounting base 221, and the output shaft end of the lifting drive 236 is connected to the bottom of the moving block 233. In this embodiment, the support body 231 has a rectangular plate-like structure, the suction cup 6 is mounted on the top of the support body 231, and the moving block 233 is correspondingly designed as a rectangular block-like structure, with a size smaller than that of the support body 231. Four support rails 234 are symmetrically arranged in pairs on adjacent sides of the moving block 233, forming a radial support layout. The support rails 234 are T-shaped rails.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 When the position of the glass block needs to be adjusted, the lifting drive 236 is activated. The lifting drive 236 drives the moving block 233 to rise, and the connecting rod 237 rotates accordingly and adapts to the angle change. The adjusting block 235 is driven by the connecting rod 237 to slide laterally on the support guide rail 234. Through the linkage between the moving block 233, support guide rail 234, adjusting block 235, lifting drive 236, and connecting rod 237 of the grinding seat 23, when the lifting drive 236 drives the moving block 233 to rise, the connecting rod 237 drives the adjusting block 235 to move laterally on the support guide rail 234 as the moving block 233 moves. This allows the adjusting block 235 to retract towards the support body 231 while rising, adjusting the position of the glass block above the support body 231. When the adjusting block 235 abuts against the side of the glass block, the top surface of the adjusting block 235 is higher than the top surface of the support body 231. After the adjustment is completed, the lifting drive component 236 drives the moving block 233 to descend, and the connecting rod 237 drives the adjusting block 235 to slide on the support guide rail 234 in a direction away from the support body 231, so that the adjusting block 235 spreads out while descending, without affecting the polishing body 22 polishing the glass block.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A waterproof corrugated cover 2361 is fitted onto the outer side of the lifting drive component 236. The top of the waterproof corrugated cover 2361 abuts against the bottom of the moving block 233, and the bottom of the waterproof corrugated cover 2361 abuts against the top of the mounting base 221. The waterproof corrugated cover 2361 has good telescopic flexibility and can expand and contract synchronously with the lifting movement of the moving block 233, ensuring that it does not affect its normal operation while providing full protection.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 The grinding base 23 is also equipped with a chip removal assembly 238, which is arranged at the bottom of the support body 231. The bottom of the support body 231 is integrally formed with a mounting protrusion 2311, and the side of the mounting protrusion 2311 has an arrangement groove 2312 for arranging the chip removal assembly 238. The chip removal assembly 238 includes a support crossbar 2381 and a scraping brush 2382 disposed at the end of the support crossbar 2381. The arrangement groove 2312 is equipped with a scraping spring 2383 for supporting the support crossbar 2381. One end of the scraping spring 2383 abuts against the groove wall of the arrangement groove 2312, and the other end supports the root of the support crossbar 2381. The scraping brush 2382 and the adjusting block 235 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, the scraping brush 2382 and the support crossbar 2381 are integrally formed.

[0056] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 In a stationary state, the chip removal assembly 238, under the action of the scraping spring 2383, maintains its end extending outward and beyond the side wall of the support body 231. Simultaneously, its extended length is less than the outward extension length of the support guide rail 234, thus avoiding interference in the non-working state. As the adjusting block 235 moves towards the support body 231, the scraping brush 2382 gradually scrapes from the top to the bottom of the adjusting block 235. With the compression of the adjusting block 235, the scraping brush 2382 retracts into the arrangement groove 2312, achieving cleaning of the surface of the adjusting block 235 and ensuring that the movement of the adjusting block 235 is unimpeded.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9The squeegee mechanism 25 consists of two parts: a squeegee assembly 251 and a drive assembly 252. The drive assembly 252 drives the squeegee assembly 251 to perform a reciprocating oscillating motion. The squeegee assembly 251 includes a support column 2511 fixedly mounted on the grinding machine frame, a rotating disk 2512 rotatably sleeved on the top of the support column 2511, a squeegee blade 2513 disposed on the side wall of the rotating disk 2512, and an eccentric protrusion 2514 eccentrically disposed on the top of the rotating disk 2512. The squeegee blade 2513 extends from the side wall of the rotating disk 2512 towards the unloading station of the grinding machine 2. In this embodiment, the squeegee blade 2513 is integrally disposed on one side of the rotating disk 2512, and the eccentric protrusion 2514 is integrally disposed on the rotating disk 2512.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 The drive assembly 252 includes a vertical support rod 2521 mounted on the grinding machine frame, a lower pressure block 2522 slidably mounted on the vertical support rod 2521, a support spring 2523 sleeved on the outside of the vertical support rod 2521 and used to support the lower pressure block 2522, and a drive connecting rod 2524 rotatably connecting the lower pressure block 2522 and the rotating disk 2512. The lower part of the vertical support rod 2521 is fixedly mounted to the side wall of the grinding machine 2 via a flange base. One end of the support spring 2523 abuts against the bottom of the lower pressure block 2522, and the other end abuts against the top of the flange base.

[0059] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 A pressure plate 2525 is provided on the side of the lower pressure block 2522 facing the grinding seat 23. An abutment block 5112 for cooperating with the pressure plate 2525 is provided on one side of the suction cup body 511. When the suction cup body 511 descends with the piston rod of the drive cylinder, the abutment block 5112 can apply downward pressure to the pressure plate 2525. The lower pressure block 2522 overcomes the resistance of the support spring 2523 and moves downward along the vertical support rod 2521. The linear displacement is converted into the rotational torque of the rotating disk 2512 through the drive connecting rod 2524, thereby causing the scraper 2513 on the rotating disk 2512 to swing at a specified angle, realizing the scraping operation of water stains on the top of the glass block. When the pressure is released, the support spring 2523 pushes the lower pressure block 2522 to reset, and the scraper 2513 resets.

[0060] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 To ensure that the scraper blade 2513 on the rotating disk 2512 swings along a predetermined route, the top surface of the support column 2511 is also provided with a directional groove 2517, and the bottom of the rotating disk 2512 has a directional wheel 2518 that cooperates with the directional groove.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 10The wiper blade 2513 has a detachable wiper strip 2515 and a suction strip 2516 mounted on its bottom. The wiper strip 2515 and suction strip 2516 are arranged adjacent to each other, with the wiper strip 2515 positioned in the leading position relative to the swing direction. The wiper strip 2515 is made of a flexible and elastic material, such as rubber or silicone. In this embodiment, the wiper strip 2515 is made of silicone, and the suction strip 2516 is made of sponge. The bottom of the wiper blade 2513 has a mounting groove for mounting the wiper strip 2515 and suction strip 2516. The wiper strip 2515 and suction strip 2516 are fixed in the mounting groove with screws, and the bottom surfaces of the wiper strip 2515 and suction strip 2516 can contact the top of the glass placed on the polishing base 23.

[0062] Reference Figure 11 The cleaning machine 3 includes a frame body 31, a conveying mechanism 32 mounted on the frame body 31 for transporting glass blocks, a cleaning mechanism 33 mounted on the top of the frame body 31, and a water supply mechanism 34 mounted on the bottom of the frame body 31. The conveying mechanism 32 includes a roller assembly 321 and a drive motor for rotating the roller assembly 321. The roller assembly 321 includes multiple parallel roller components, with both ends of the roller components mounted to the side walls of the frame body 31 via bearings. The drive motor is connected to the roller assembly 321 via a chain or belt drive to drive the rollers to rotate synchronously, thereby smoothly moving the glass blocks placed on the rollers. To reduce the probability of glass blocks breaking during transport on the roller assembly 321, an elastic protective sleeve 3211 is fitted over the outer side of the roller components. The elastic protective sleeve 3211 is made of a wear-resistant and elastic material, such as rubber, which can effectively buffer the impact force between the glass blocks and the roller components, reducing the risk of glass block breakage.

[0063] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The cleaning mechanism 33 includes a spray assembly 331, which comprises a spray frame and multiple spray heads arranged within the spray frame. The spray heads are evenly distributed, and the water outlet direction of the spray heads is directed towards the glass block on the roller assembly 321 to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the glass block. The water supply mechanism 34 includes a water supply tank 341, a water pump 342, and a water supply pipeline 343 connecting the water supply tank 341 and the spray heads. The water pump 342 pumps water from the water supply tank 341 to the spray heads, providing a stable water source for the cleaning process. In addition, the bottom of the frame body 31 of the cleaning machine 3 is also provided with a drain outlet 311 and a water collection tank 312.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 12 A glass polishing process includes the following steps: S1. Place the stacked glass blocks on the feeding station 13, and the pushing mechanism 11 pushes the bottom glass block out from the discharge port 121 of the baffle plate 12. S2, the lifting drive 52 of the feeding mechanism 5 drives the lifting assembly 51 to descend, the suction unit 512 draws air and firmly sucks up the glass block to be pushed out, the lifting drive 52 drives the lifting assembly 51 to rise, the first drive 53 drives the lifting assembly 51 to move to the loading station of the grinding machine 2, at this time, the grinding seat 23 is located at the loading station, the lifting drive 52 drives the lifting assembly 51 to descend and place the glass block on the top of the suction unit 6.

[0065] S3. After the suction cup unit 512 of the lifting component 51 is deflated, the lifting component 51 rises slowly. The push head 5132 of the pusher 513 presses the glass block onto the grinding seat 23 under the action of the push spring 514 until the suction cup unit 512 of the lifting component 51 is completely separated from the glass block. S4. The lifting drive component 236 is activated, driving the moving block 233 to rise. The connecting rod 237, following the movement of the moving block 233, drives the adjusting block 235 to move laterally on the support guide rail 234. As the adjusting block 235 rises, it retracts towards the support body 231, adjusting the position of the glass block above the support body 231. Simultaneously, as the adjusting block 235 moves towards the support body 231, the scraping brush 2382 gradually scrapes from the top to the bottom of the adjusting block 235. With the compression of the adjusting block 235, the scraping brush 2382 retracts into the arrangement groove 2312, thus cleaning the surface of the adjusting block 235.

[0066] Once the adjustment is complete, the lifting drive 236 drives the moving block 233 to descend, and the connecting rod 237 drives the adjusting block 235 to slide on the support guide rail 234 in a direction away from the support body 231. The adjusting block 235 spreads out as it descends, without affecting the polishing body 22's polishing of the glass block.

[0067] S5. After the glass block is adjusted, the suction cup 6 on the top of the support body 231 draws air and sucks up the glass block. The horizontal drive mechanism 24 drives the grinding seat 23 to move to the grinding station, and the grinding machine 2 grinds the glass block. S6. After the glass block is polished, the horizontal drive component drives the polishing base 23 to move to the unloading station. The lifting component 51 of the feeding mechanism 5 descends. During the descent, the abutting block 5112 of the suction cup body 511 applies downward pressure to the lower pressing block 2522. The lower pressing block 2522 overcomes the resistance of the support spring 2523 and moves downward along the vertical support rod 2521. The linear displacement is converted into the rotational torque of the rotating disk 2512 through the drive linkage 2524, thereby causing the scraper 2513 on the rotating disk 2512 to swing at a specified angle, completing the scraping of water stains on the top of the glass block before the suction cup body 511 adsorbs the glass block. When the pressure is released, the support spring 2523 pushes the lower pressing block 2522 to reset, and the scraper 2513 resets.

[0068] S7. The feeding mechanism 5 transports the glass block to the cleaning machine 3 for cleaning.

[0069] Combination Figures 1 to 12 The implementation principle of the glass grinding device and process method in this application embodiment is as follows: stacked glass blocks are placed on the feeding station 13, and the pushing mechanism 11 pushes the bottom glass block out of the discharge port 121 of the baffle plate 12; the feeding mechanism 5 picks up the pushed glass block and transports it to the top of the grinding seat 23 at the loading station; the lifting drive 236 is activated, and the adjusting block 235 adjusts the position of the glass block on the grinding seat 23 under the linkage of the lifting drive 236 and the connecting rod 237; after the adjustment is completed, the suction cup 6 at the top of the support body 231 draws air and sucks up the glass block, the horizontal drive mechanism 24 drives the grinding seat 23 to move to the grinding station, and the grinding machine 2 grinds the glass block; after the glass block is ground, the horizontal drive drives the grinding seat 23 to move to the unloading station, and the feeding mechanism 5 transports the glass block to the cleaning machine 3 for cleaning.
