Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass column processing, and more particularly to a solid structure and cutting method for cutting glass columns. Background Technology

[0002] Glass pillars are a common type of decorative accessory, widely used in clothing, lighting, handicrafts, etc. In the production process of glass pillars, long strips of glass pillar tubes need to be cut into multiple sets of equidistant glass beads; therefore, a glass pillar tube cutting device is required for cutting.

[0003] One method involves cutting glass columns using an abrasive wheel. To improve cutting efficiency, a bundle of glass columns is typically cut at a time. However, the abrasive wheel is abrasive, and friction between it and the glass columns causes wear and tear. The contact between the glass columns and the abrasive wheel also generates a large amount of dust, causing pollution and being environmentally unfriendly. On the other hand, cutting individual glass columns is too inefficient and slow. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of the prior art, this invention provides a unified structure and cutting method for glass column cutting. By freezing multiple glass columns with liquid, cutting is performed while the columns are frozen, preventing dust from splashing, reducing pollution, and making the process more environmentally friendly, while also ensuring efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted is as follows: A unified structure for cutting glass columns includes a plastic or elastic inner barrel for accommodating the glass column and for fixing the glass column by injecting liquid and freezing. The plastic or elastic inner barrel includes a closed barrel wall and a barrel bottom, and the plastic or elastic inner barrel is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the glass column.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper end of the elastic or plastic inner barrel is provided with a cover plate; the elastic or plastic inner barrel is a rubber barrel or a plastic barrel.

[0007] Furthermore, the elastic or plastic inner tub can be installed inside the outer tub, and there is space between the outer tub and the elastic or plastic inner tub for the elastic or plastic inner tub to expand. The outer tub is provided with at least one elastic or plastic inner tub.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning structure is a fixing plate for positioning the glass column, and the fixing frame is provided with grooves or round holes that cooperate with the glass beads; or the positioning structure is a number of grooves that cooperate with the glass column at corresponding positions of the elastic or plastic inner barrel and the cover plate; or the positioning structure is a number of grooves that cooperate with the glass beads at the bottom of the elastic or plastic inner barrel; or the positioning structure is a binding ring that can fix the glass column.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer tub and the elastic or plastic inner tub are detachably connected, and the elastic or plastic inner tub and the outer tub are provided with a connection structure that facilitates disassembly; a spring is provided between the bottom of the outer tub and the elastic or plastic inner tub.

[0010] Furthermore, the spring is provided in two parts.

[0011] This invention also discloses a method for cutting glass columns using the above-mentioned solid structure, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Arrange or stack multiple glass columns to be cut in an elastic or plastic inner barrel that is closed at the bottom and on the side walls; Step 2: Inject liquid into the elastic or plastic inner barrel and place the inner barrel containing the elastic or plastic barrel in an environment that allows the liquid to freeze into a solid state. The liquid freezes to form a solid frozen block, and the solid frozen block encapsulates the glass column, thus fixing the glass column in place. Step 3: Remove the solid frozen block from the elastic or plastic inner barrel and cut the solid frozen block as a whole along the predetermined cutting line; Step 4: Melt the cut solid frozen block and separate it to obtain the cut glass column.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid mentioned in step 2 is water.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 1, the glass columns are first neatly arranged and fixed inside the elastic or plastic inner barrel. After completing the liquid injection in step 2, the cover plate at the top of the elastic or plastic inner barrel is then placed on top of the elastic or plastic inner barrel.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 4, the cut frozen block can be placed in a heating device or warm water to quickly thaw it.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a consolidation structure and cutting method for glass pillar cutting. The consolidation structure includes a plastic or elastic inner barrel for holding the glass pillars and a positioning structure for positioning the glass pillars. It can accommodate multiple glass pillars simultaneously. The plastic or elastic inner barrel has a closed bottom and walls. Multiple glass pillars are placed inside the elastic inner barrel, and liquid is added and frozen. After the liquid freezes into a solid frozen block, it can fix the multiple glass pillars in place. Then, the solid frozen block is cut as a whole, allowing for the simultaneous cutting of multiple glass pillars. The glass pillars are less prone to shifting or shaking, resulting in better cutting effects, cleaner cut surfaces, and higher cutting precision. During cutting, the debris generated by the friction between the grinding wheel and the ice block dissolves into the ice block, reducing the amount of dust generated and making it more environmentally friendly.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a top view of the structure of the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view facing direction AA; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged view at point a; Among them, glass column 1, elastic or plastic inner barrel 2, outer barrel 3, space 4, positioning structure 5, cover plate 6, spring 7. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 , 2 3. A unified structure for cutting glass columns, comprising a plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 for accommodating glass columns 1 and for fixing the glass columns 1 by injecting liquid and freezing, wherein the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 comprises a closed barrel wall 21 and a barrel bottom 22, and wherein the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is provided with a positioning structure 5 for positioning the glass columns 1.

[0019] The positioning structure 5 can fix multiple glass columns 1 inside a plastic or elastic inner barrel. The plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is placed in an environment that allows the liquid to freeze and solidify. After the liquid freezes and fixes the glass columns, the solid freezing block is taken out and cut. The glass columns are frozen and fixed, making them less prone to tilting. The cut surface is neater and more precise. Moreover, the debris generated by the cutting friction will be integrated into the solid freezing block, preventing it from splashing everywhere, which is more environmentally friendly.

[0020] At least one plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is disposed inside the outer barrel 3, and a space 4 for the expansion of the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is provided between the outer barrel 3 and the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2. Multiple plastic or elastic inner barrels 2 can be placed inside the outer barrel 3, and the outer barrel 3 as a whole can be placed in an environment that can freeze the liquid, so that multiple elastic inner barrels 2 can be frozen at the same time, which is more efficient.

[0021] Preferably, the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is a rubber barrel or a plastic barrel. Because the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is elastic, it can expand outwards after being filled with water and frozen. A space 4 is provided between the outer barrel and the plastic or elastic inner barrel for this expansion, preventing inward expansion that could compress the glass column and cause damage. Furthermore, the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 allows for easier removal of the solid frozen block.

[0022] Preferably, the upper end of the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 is provided with a cover plate 6. The cover plate 6 is placed on the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 to seal it and prevent the liquid inside the inner barrel from spilling or leaking during transportation. The cover plate 6 can be made of elastic material, so that it is easier to remove the plastic or elastic inner barrel 2 when disassembling the cover plate 6. The positioning structure 5 is a fixing plate for positioning the glass column. The fixing plate has grooves or holes that mate with the glass beads. The fixing plate is detachable, and fixing plates with different groove or hole sizes can be replaced according to the diameter of the glass column. The fixing plate can be placed inside a plastic or elastic inner barrel, which has a structure for fixing the fixing plate inside. Alternatively, the positioning structure 5 can be several grooves 5 located at corresponding positions on the elastic or plastic inner barrel 2 and the cover plate 6 that mate with the glass column, for example... Figure 1 , 2 3. The bottom of the elastic or plastic inner barrel 2 and the inner side of the cover plate 6 are provided with corresponding grooves, and the glass column is fixed in the grooves; or the positioning structure 5 is a number of grooves that cooperate with the glass beads at the bottom of the elastic or plastic inner barrel 2, and the grooves can also be provided separately at the bottom of the elastic or plastic inner barrel 2; or the positioning structure 5 is a binding ring that can fix the glass column, the binding ring binds multiple glass columns together and then fixes them by freezing, the binding ring can be an elastic binding ring, which is easier to install and remove.

[0023] A spring 7 is provided between the bottom of the outer tub 3 and the plastic or elastic inner tub 2. Preferably, two springs 7 are provided. The springs 7 are provided to create a gap between the plastic or elastic inner tub 2 and the outer tub 3, allowing the plastic or elastic inner tub 2 to expand outward and preventing the plastic or elastic inner tub 2 from sticking to the outer tub 3 during expansion.

[0024] This invention also discloses a cutting method for cutting glass columns using the above-mentioned solid structure, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Arrange or stack multiple glass columns 1 to be cut in an elastic or plastic inner barrel 2 that is closed at the bottom and on the side walls. The elastic or plastic inner barrel 2 includes a barrel bottom and a barrel wall, wherein the barrel bottom and the barrel wall are closed and there is a sealed connection between the barrel bottom and the barrel wall, which makes it difficult for the liquid to leak when it is injected later. Step 2: Inject liquid into the elastic or plastic inner barrel 2, and place the inner barrel 2 in an environment where the liquid can be frozen into a solid state. The liquid freezes to form a solid frozen block, which encloses the glass column 1, thus fixing the glass column in place. Preferably, the liquid is water. Step 3: Remove the solid frozen block from the elastic or plastic inner barrel, and cut the solid frozen block as a whole along the predetermined cutting line. Determine the cutting length according to actual needs. The cutting method can adopt existing technology. Step 4 involves melting the cut solid frozen block to separate the cut glass column 1. The solid frozen block melts into liquid and flows through the glass column, which can also rinse the surface of the glass column 1. The separated glass column 1 has a cleaner surface and higher quality.

[0025] Multiple glass columns are fixed in place by liquid freezing. These frozen columns are then cut simultaneously. During cutting, the debris generated by the friction between the abrasive wheel and the ice dissolves into the ice, reducing splatter and dust, making it more environmentally friendly. The frozen glass column 1 is more firmly fixed, resulting in higher cutting accuracy, less movement of the glass column 1, and cleaner, more precise cuts. Simultaneous cutting of multiple glass columns increases efficiency and facilitates mass production.

[0026] Preferably, in step 1, the glass columns can be neatly arranged and fixed inside the elastic or plastic inner tank 2. After the liquid is injected in step 2, the cover plate is placed on the top of the elastic or plastic inner tank to seal it.

[0027] Preferably, step 4 involves placing the cut frozen blocks in a heating device or warm water to quickly melt them, thereby accelerating the production of the finished product.
