Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a glass machine, in particular to a flexible automatic feeding carriage assembly for a glass edge grinding machine. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional glass processing industry, glass edge grinding machine is a commonly used equipment for grinding and polishing the edge of glass to achieve the required accuracy and smoothness. As one of the core components of the edge grinding machine, the performance of the polishing wheel directly affects the polishing effect, production cost and efficiency. In traditional glass edge grinding machines, the polishing wheel feed mode is usually pneumatic feed and servo automatic feed.

[0003] Traditional servo automatic feed is usually directly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through a mechanical hard connection. The drive motor provides power to rotate and contact the glass surface, and then the grinding wheel driven by the motor grinds and polishes the glass surface.

[0004] Although the servo automatic feed design has shown sufficient efficiency and reliability in many applications, it also has some significant limitations. The most prominent problem is that the feed method of the servo direct drive feed is rigid feed. Since the polishing wheel is hard-connected to the drive motor, the polishing wheel cannot flexibly adjust the force according to the different conditions of the glass and the wheel, such as uneven thickness and different degrees of ease, when it contacts the edge of the glass for grinding and polishing. In this case, if the polishing wheel is subjected to too much force, it will not only rapidly wear out the polishing wheel and reduce the service life of the polishing wheel, but may also cause excessive wear on the edge of the glass. On the contrary, if the polishing wheel is subjected to too little force, it is easy to lead to poor polishing effect and fail to meet the high-quality polishing requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0019] 2. By introducing a flexible pressure device, the present invention can enable the polishing wheel to provide a flexible output force during the processing process, thereby increasing the service life of the polishing wheel. This reduces the possibility of poor polishing due to too small an output force or excessive wear of the polishing wheel due to too large an output force. This design helps to achieve a more detailed and uniform polishing of the glass edge, and avoids glass damage caused by excessive local force.

[0020] 3. The use of the flexible pressure device enables the polishing wheel to automatically adjust the force according to the specific conditions of the glass surface. Whether it is processing harder or softer glass surfaces, it can maintain a good polishing effect, ensuring the consistency and high standards of polishing quality.

[0021] 4. By setting a meshing mechanism between the drive motor and the rack in the polishing wheel group, the present invention can not only accurately control the position and moving speed of the polishing wheel, but also increase the ability of the equipment to adapt to different processing conditions, so that the edge grinding machine can handle a wider range of glass thicknesses and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and scope of application of the equipment.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-3 , shown is a flexible automatic feeding carriage assembly for a glass edge grinding machine in the utility model, which includes a fixed seat 1 and a sliding seat 2 slidably mounted thereon, a polishing motor is mounted on the sliding seat 2, a polishing wheel is mounted on the main shaft of the polishing motor, and the polishing motor drives the polishing wheel to rotate to polish the glass.

[0029] Furthermore: the fixing seat 1 serves as the basic support of the entire polishing wheel assembly, and the fixing seat 1 provides a stable installation platform for other key components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire device during operation.

[0030] Furthermore: the sliding seat is designed to be able to perform precise linear movement on the fixed seat 1, so that the polishing motor 3 and the polishing wheel installed thereon can adjust their positions according to work needs, thereby achieving polishing of different areas of the glass edge.

[0031] Furthermore, the polishing motor 3 is the power source of the polishing wheel assembly, responsible for driving the polishing wheel to rotate so as to grind and polish the glass edge. The speed and start and stop of the polishing motor 3 can be precisely controlled by the control system to meet different polishing requirements.

[0032] The base 4 is fixed on the fixed base 1. The fixed base 1 is provided with a rack 5, and the rack 5 is connected to the sliding base 2.

[0033] A driving motor 6, wherein the driving motor 6 is connected to a first gear 7 and meshes with the rack 5. The driving motor 6 rotates under the drive of the control system, and utilizes the transmission of the first gear 7 and the rack 5 to drive the sliding seat 2 to move;

[0034] The flexible pressure device is installed between the sliding seat 2 and the fixed seat 1. After the sliding seat 2 moves to the working position under the action of the driving motor 6, the flexible pressure device simultaneously outputs elastic force to push the sliding seat 2 to move toward the glass direction.

[0035] Furthermore, the base 4 is used as a secondary mounting platform on the fixing base 1 for mounting the rack 5, the drive motor 6 and the flexible pressure device. The base is provided to ensure the correct positioning and stable connection of these components.

[0036] Furthermore, the rack 5 acts as a conversion mechanism to convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 6 into the linear motion of the slide seat 2. The design of the rack ensures the accuracy and stability of the movement of the slide seat, which is crucial for adjusting the position of the polishing wheel.

[0037] Furthermore, the driving motor 6 controls the movement of the sliding seat 2 through the first gear 7 meshing with the rack 5. The precise control of the driving motor is very important for achieving the precise positioning of the polishing wheel and moving it to a proper working position.

[0038] Furthermore, the flexible pressure device provides a flexible force adjustment mechanism, which enables the polishing wheel to automatically adjust the pressure when it contacts the glass. This flexible force mechanism enables the polishing wheel to adjust the force according to the actual conditions of the glass surface, such as unevenness, during operation, avoiding the problem of excessive or insufficient local force that may occur in a hard-connected driving mode.

[0039] Furthermore, the flexible pressure device comprises a pneumatic rotary motor 8 mounted on the fixing seat 1 , and the pneumatic rotary motor 8 is connected to a second gear 9 which meshes with the rack 5 .

[0040] Furthermore, the rack 5 is designed with teeth on both sides, one side of which is meshed with the first gear 7 and the other side of which is meshed with the second gear 9.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, further: the flexible pressure device is a pneumatic cylinder 10 installed on the base 4, the cylinder body of the pneumatic cylinder 10 is fixed on the base 4, and its piston rod is connected to the sliding seat 2.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, further: the flexible pressure device is a pneumatic cylinder 10 installed on the base 4, the cylinder body of the pneumatic cylinder 10 is fixed on the base 4, and its piston rod is connected to the tail of the rack 5.

[0043] Furthermore: the rack 5 is cylindrical, and the teeth are arranged on the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical rack.

[0044] Furthermore: the driving motor 6 is a servo motor or a stepping motor.

[0045] Furthermore: the base 4 is installed on the rear end surface of the fixed seat 1, and a guide rod hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the fixed seat 1. The sliding guide rod 12 passes through the guide rod hole 11 and is connected to the sliding seat 2. The other end of the sliding guide rod 12 is connected to the rack 5.

[0046] Furthermore, a guide groove 13 is formed in the middle of the rack 5 and passes through the main body thereof, and a guide screw 14 passes through the guide groove 13 and is connected to the base 4 .

[0047] Working principle: When starting the polishing operation, the operator or the control system starts the drive motor 6, and through the meshing relationship between the first gear 7 and the rack 5, the sliding seat 2 is accurately controlled to move along the fixed seat 1 to the predetermined working position. Then the polishing motor 3 is started, so that the polishing wheel rotates at an appropriate speed, and the edge of the glass begins to be ground and polished. During the polishing process, the drive motor and the flexible pressure device work at the same time, and the pneumatic cylinder or pneumatic rotary motor of the flexible pressure device works, and its power is directly or indirectly transmitted to the sliding seat, giving the sliding seat a flexible force. According to the actual processing conditions of the glass, such as thickness, hardness and surface state, the force applied by the sliding seat 2 to the glass is automatically adjusted to ensure that the contact pressure between the polishing wheel and the glass is just right. This not only ensures a high-quality polishing effect, but also significantly reduces the wear of the polishing wheel and prolongs its service life.

[0048] Through the detailed description of the above working principle, it can be seen that the technical advantages of the present invention are not only reflected in the improvement of polishing effect and equipment adaptability, but also in the fact that the stability and reliability of the processing process are greatly improved through precise position control and flexible pressure adjustment mechanism. In addition, the design of the present invention also takes into account the ease of use and maintainability of the equipment, and reduces the complexity of operation and maintenance costs by simplifying the adjustment steps and reducing the replacement frequency of worn parts. In summary, the present invention provides a more efficient, economical and reliable polishing solution for the glass processing industry through its innovative structure and working mechanism, so it can be widely promoted and used.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from them are still within the scope of protection of the claims created by the present invention.
