Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass tube processing, specifically to an adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment and processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Glass tube cutting is mainly used to cut a long glass tube into smaller sections of a specified length. In the cutting process, semi-automatic cutting equipment is generally used to cut the glass tube. The feeding and material feeding parts of the semi-automatic cutting equipment require manual pushing. A single worker slowly pushes the glass tube into the cutting equipment, and then the cutting equipment cuts the glass tube to process it into smaller sections of the required length.

[0003] However, in the cutting process, semi-automatic cutting equipment has low production efficiency, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual feeding has low accuracy. Therefore, an adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment and processing technology are proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, this invention proposes an adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting device and processing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: the adaptive flexible ring-cutting glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment of the present invention includes a frame; the frame is provided with a feeding mechanism, a material plate, a transfer mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a fixing mechanism and a ring-cutting mechanism; The feeding mechanism is fixedly installed on the frame and has a material bin and a tube sorting unit that arranges the glass tubes neatly. The feeding mechanism is used to transport the glass tubes to the material plate. The material plate is installed on the transfer mechanism to receive and fix the glass tube; The transfer mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the material plate to move between the feeding drive mechanism and the loading mechanism; the fixing mechanism is mounted on the feeding mechanism and moves together with the feeding mechanism. The fixing mechanism is used to fix the end of the glass tube and drive the glass tube to rotate. The feeding mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the fixing mechanism to move along the axial direction of the glass tube, thereby feeding the glass tube to the designated ring cutting station according to the preset processing length. The circumferential cutting mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to perform circumferential cutting on the glass tube.

[0006] Preferably, the feeding mechanism is equipped with a belt moving module, which is used to drive the feeding mechanism to move along the surface of the material plate, thereby arranging the glass tubes neatly on the material plate; In operation, the worker feeds the glass tubes into the hopper of the feeding mechanism. The glass tubes are neatly arranged by the tube sorting unit and then conveyed to the material plate. After the material plate receives the glass tubes, the transfer mechanism moves them to the feeding station. The fixing mechanism clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. The feeding mechanism, equipped with a preset length step feeder, feeds the glass tubes to the circumferential cutting station. The circumferential cutting mechanism completes the cutting process. This mechanism setup automates the glass tube cutting process, significantly improving processing efficiency and cutting accuracy compared to manual feeding. It ensures consistent length of the cut glass tubes. Furthermore, the circumferential cutting mechanism improves the flatness and precision of the glass tube end face after processing. The power source for each mechanism in this application is a servo motor, controlled with high precision by a corresponding servo control system. This enables multi-axis linkage between mechanisms, improving processing accuracy and efficiency, and preventing interference between mechanisms.

[0007] Preferably, the transfer mechanism includes a linear transfer module and a two-axis transfer module, both of which are equipped with material plates. The linear transfer module is located above the two-axis transfer module. The two transfer modules are used to alternately transfer glass tubes to improve feeding efficiency. The two-axis transfer module can drive the material plate to move horizontally and vertically.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame, a rotary drive module, and several flexible clamping units. The several flexible clamping units are mounted on the rotary drive module. The flexible clamping units are used to clamp and fix the ends of the glass tube. The rotary drive module is mounted on the fixing frame and is used to drive the flexible clamping units to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, the circumferential cutting mechanism includes a cutting frame, a support frame, a blade holder, and two cam drive modules. The support frame and the blade holder are slidably connected to the cutting frame. Several blades are fixedly installed on the blade holder. The blades are used to cut glass tubes. Several slots are provided on the top of the support frame. The two cam drive modules are used to drive the support frame and the blade holder to reciprocate along a predetermined path.

[0010] Preferably, the ring-cutting mechanism further includes a breaking plate and a cylinder. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the cutting frame, and the breaking plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder. The reciprocating motion of the cylinder drives the breaking plate to perform a reciprocating motion, thereby breaking the glass tube.

[0011] Preferably, both sides of the top of the bracket are rotatably connected to support rollers.

[0012] Preferably, a lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame, the lifting mechanism including a lifting module and a lifting plate, the lifting module being used to drive the lifting plate to move vertically up and down.

[0013] Preferably, a pressing mechanism is installed above the frame, which is used to fix the glass tube on the support plate.

[0014] An adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting process is applicable to the aforementioned adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment. This process includes the following steps: S1: Loading: Place the glass tube to be cut into the hopper of the loading mechanism, and the loading mechanism will arrange the glass tube neatly on the material plate. S2: Transfer: The transfer mechanism transports the glass tubes on the material plate to the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism transfers the glass tubes onto the lifting plate; S3: Fixing, the fixing mechanism fixes the end of the glass tube; S4: Feeding. The feeding mechanism transports the glass tube axially to the ring cutting station, while the flexible clamping unit clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. S5: Circumferential cutting. The circumferential cutting mechanism performs circumferential cutting on the glass tube, cutting it into small segments of glass tubes of a specified length.

[0015] The advantages of this invention are: 1. This invention, by setting up a feeding mechanism, a material plate, a transfer mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a fixing mechanism, and a ring-cutting mechanism, allows for the automation of glass tube cutting processes. During use, the operator places the glass tube into the hopper of the feeding mechanism. The glass tubes are then neatly arranged by the tube sorting unit and transported to the material plate. After the material plate receives the glass tube, the transfer mechanism moves it to the feeding station. The fixing mechanism clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. The feeding mechanism, equipped with a preset length step feeder, feeds the glass tube to the ring-cutting station, where the ring-cutting mechanism completes the cutting process. This mechanism setup achieves automated production of the glass tube cutting process, significantly improving processing efficiency and cutting accuracy compared to manual feeding. It also ensures the consistency of the cut glass tube length. Furthermore, the ring-cutting mechanism improves the flatness and precision of the glass tube end face after processing. 2. This invention, by setting up a cutting frame, a support frame, a tool holder, a cutting tool, and a cam drive module, allows the cam drive module to drive the support frame and the tool holder to reciprocate along a predetermined path during the cutting process. The rotation drive module drives the glass tube to rotate, causing the cutting tool to form annular cuts on the surface of the glass tube. This improves the flatness and precision of the glass tube end face after processing, reduces the problem of glass tube breakage, and increases the yield of processed products.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, the adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment includes a frame 11; the frame 11 is equipped with a feeding mechanism, a material plate 14, a transfer mechanism, a feeding mechanism 15, a fixing mechanism and a circumferential cutting mechanism; The feeding mechanism is fixedly installed on the frame 11 and has a material bin 12 and a tube sorting unit 13 for arranging glass tubes neatly. The feeding mechanism is used to transport glass tubes to the material plate 14. The material plate 14 is installed on the transfer mechanism to receive and fix the glass tube; The transfer mechanism is mounted on the frame 11 and is used to drive the material plate 14 to move between the feeding drive mechanism and the loading mechanism; The fixing mechanism is installed on the feeding mechanism 15 and moves together with the feeding mechanism 15. The fixing mechanism is used to fix the end of the glass tube and drive the glass tube to rotate.

[0022] The feeding mechanism 15 is mounted on the frame 11 and is used to drive the fixing mechanism to move along the axial direction of the glass tube, thereby feeding the glass tube to the designated ring cutting station according to the preset processing length. The circumferential cutting mechanism is mounted on the frame 11 and is used to perform circumferential cutting on the glass tube.

[0023] In operation, the worker puts the glass tube into the hopper 12 of the feeding mechanism. The glass tube is neatly arranged under the action of the tube sorting unit 13 and then conveyed to the material plate 14. After the material plate 14 receives the glass tube, the transfer mechanism moves it to the feeding station. The fixing mechanism clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. The feeding mechanism 15 is equipped with a preset length step feeder to feed the glass tube to the ring cutting station. The ring cutting mechanism completes the cutting process. Relying on the above mechanism settings, the glass tube cutting process can be automated. Compared with manual feeding, this can greatly improve the processing efficiency and cutting accuracy, and ensure the consistency of the length of the cut glass tube. At the same time, the ring cutting mechanism can perform ring cutting on the glass tube, thereby improving the flatness and accuracy of the end face of the processed glass tube. The power source of each mechanism in this application is driven by a servo motor and controlled by a corresponding servo control system with high precision, realizing multi-axis linkage of each mechanism, improving processing accuracy and efficiency, and avoiding interference between mechanisms.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a belt conveyor module 2 is installed on the feeding mechanism. The belt conveyor module 2 is used to drive the feeding mechanism to move along the surface of the material plate 14, thereby arranging the glass tubes neatly on the material plate 14. The transfer mechanism includes a transfer linear moving module 31 and a transfer two-axis moving module 32. The material plate 14 is installed on both the transfer linear moving module 31 and the transfer two-axis moving module 32. The transfer linear moving module 31 is located above the transfer two-axis moving module 32. In use, the glass tubes are placed into the hopper 12 of the feeding mechanism. Then, the tube sorting unit 13 organizes the scattered glass tubes in the hopper 12 and conveys them one by one to the material plate 14. The belt moving module 2 is used to drive the feeding mechanism to move along the surface of the material plate 14, so as to arrange the glass tubes neatly on the material plate 14, so as to facilitate the neat cutting of multiple glass tubes in the future. The transfer linear moving module 31 is located above the transfer two-axis moving module 32. The two moving modules are used to transfer the glass tubes alternately to improve the feeding efficiency. The transfer two-axis moving module 32 can drive the material plate 14 to move in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame 41, a rotary drive module 42, and a plurality of flexible clamping units 43. The plurality of flexible clamping units 43 are mounted on the rotary drive module 42. The flexible clamping units 43 are used to clamp and fix the ends of the glass tube. The rotary drive module 42 is mounted on the fixing frame 41. The rotary drive module 42 is used to drive the flexible clamping units 43 to rotate. In use, the flexible clamping unit 43 is used to clamp and fix the end of the workpiece glass tube. The flexible clamping unit 43 can adaptively clamp glass tubes with diameters of 2-20mm and tolerances of ±0.5mm. It can adapt to the processing needs of glass tubes of different specifications without frequent clamping changes. The rotary drive module 42 can drive the flexible clamping unit 43 to rotate, thereby cooperating with the circumferential cutting mechanism to complete the circumferential cutting of the glass tube.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the circumferential cutting mechanism includes a cutting frame 51, a lifting frame 52, a knife holder 53, and two cam drive modules 56. The lifting frame 52 and the knife holder 53 are slidably connected to the cutting frame 51. Several knives 54 are fixedly installed on the knife holder 53. The knives 54 are used to cut the glass tube. Several slots 55 are opened on the top of the lifting frame 52. The two cam drive modules 56 are used to drive the lifting frame 52 and the knife holder 53 to reciprocate along a predetermined path. The circumferential cutting mechanism also includes a breaking plate 62 and a cylinder 61. The cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the cutting frame 51. The breaking plate 62 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 61. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 61 drives the breaking plate 62 to reciprocate, thereby breaking the glass tube. Rollers 7 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the slots 55. During the cutting process, the cam drive module 56 drives the lifting frame 52 and the tool holder 53 to reciprocate along a predetermined path, and the rotation drive module 42 drives the glass tube to rotate, so that the tool 54 forms an annular cut on the surface of the glass tube. Subsequently, the cylinder 61 drives the breaking plate 62 to break the glass tube neatly along the cut, thereby processing the glass tube into the corresponding size. The support roller 7 is used to support and fix the glass tube, reduce the friction when the glass tube rotates, and after the middle of the adjacent glass tube breaks, the support roller 7 can drive the glass tube in the adjacent groove to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation drive of the broken glass tube.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame 11. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting module 81 and a lifting plate 82. The lifting module 81 is used to drive the lifting plate 82 to move vertically up and down. A pressing mechanism 9 is installed above the frame 11. The pressing mechanism 9 is used to fix the glass tube on the lifting plate 82. In use, the lifting module of the lifting mechanism drives the lifting plate 82 to rise, transferring the glass tube from the material plate 14 to the lifting plate 82. At this time, the transfer mechanism can drive the material plate 14 to reset, ready to receive the next batch of glass tubes, which greatly improves the feeding efficiency. The lifting plate 82 supports the glass tube, reducing the problem of glass tube breakage during the circumferential cutting process. The pressing mechanism 9 is used to fix the glass tube on the lifting plate 82, fixing the glass tube in the vertical direction, which facilitates the flexible clamping unit 43 to fix the end of the glass tube and to stably feed the glass tube.

[0028] Please see Figure 7 As shown, the adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting process is applicable to the aforementioned adaptive flexible circumferential glass tube multi-axis linkage cutting equipment. This process includes the following steps: S1: Loading: Place the glass tube to be cut into the hopper 12 of the loading mechanism, and the loading mechanism will arrange the glass tube neatly on the material plate 14. S2: Transfer, the transfer mechanism transports the glass tube on the material plate 14 to the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism transfers the glass tube to the lifting plate 82; S3: Fixing, the fixing mechanism fixes the end of the glass tube; S4: Feeding, the feeding mechanism 15 conveys the glass tube along the axial direction to the ring cutting station, while the flexible clamping unit 43 clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. S5: Circumferential cutting. The circumferential cutting mechanism performs circumferential cutting on the glass tube, cutting it into small segments of glass tubes of a specified length.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the operator puts the glass tube into the hopper 12 of the feeding mechanism. The glass tube is neatly arranged under the action of the tube sorting unit 13 and then conveyed to the material plate 14. After the material plate 14 receives the glass tube, the transfer mechanism moves it to the feeding station. The fixing mechanism clamps the end of the glass tube and drives it to rotate. The feeding mechanism 15 is equipped with a preset length step feeder to feed the glass tube to the ring cutting station. The ring cutting mechanism completes the cutting process. Relying on the above mechanism settings, the glass tube cutting process can be automated. Compared with manual feeding, this can greatly improve the processing efficiency and cutting accuracy, and ensure the consistency of the length of the cut glass tube. At the same time, the ring cutting mechanism can perform ring cutting on the glass tube, thereby improving the flatness and accuracy of the end face of the processed glass tube. The power source of each mechanism in this application is driven by a servo motor and controlled by a corresponding servo control system with high precision, realizing multi-axis linkage of each mechanism, improving processing accuracy and efficiency, and avoiding interference between mechanisms. In use, the glass tubes are placed into the hopper 12 of the feeding mechanism. Then, the tube sorting unit 13 organizes the scattered glass tubes in the hopper 12 and conveys them one by one to the material plate 14.
