[0030] The present invention provides a borosilicate glass tube cutting device, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a cutting knife 5, the cutting knife 5 is used to cut the borosilicate glass tube; a driving mechanism 9 connected to the cutting knife 5, the driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the cutting knife 5 to rotate; a coolant box 4 for providing coolant for the cutting knife 5, a plurality of flow channels are arranged inside the cutting knife, each flow channel is connected to the coolant box 4, and the coolant box 4 is connected to a coolant supplier; a recovery mechanism 6 is arranged below the cutting knife 5, the recovery mechanism 6 includes a first collecting tank 12 for recovering coolant and a material tank 14 for recovering borosilicate tubes, the first collecting tank 12 is connected to the coolant supplier through a pipe fitting, the coolant after the cutting knife 5 is used first flows into the first collecting tank 12 and then converges to the coolant supplier for treatment and then supplies to the coolant box 4, and the processed borosilicate glass tube enters the material tank 14, the recovery mechanism separates the coolant and the processed borosilicate glass tube, which not only solves the water pollution problem on the cutting head of the borosilicate glass tube, but also improves the processing efficiency of the borosilicate glass tube and reduces the production cost at the same time.

[0031] It should be noted that the driving mechanism 9 drives the cutting knife 5 to rotate, the coolant box 4 supplies coolant to the cutting knife 5 to dissipate heat for the cutting knife 5, the borosilicate glass tube is placed on the fixture, and is approached to the cutting knife 5 at a uniform speed. The coolant dripping during the cutting process falls into the first liquid collecting tank 12, and the borosilicate glass tube falls into the material tank 14 and reaches the predetermined work station along the material tank 14. When rough cutting the borosilicate glass tube or processing borosilicate glass tube waste, it is preheated to make its material softer and easier to cut. At this time, the cutting knife 5 maintains a relatively low temperature to prevent excessive heat generated during the cutting process from being transferred to the tool, which is conducive to maintaining the hardness and integrity of the blade.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first liquid collecting trough 12 is located below the blasting knife 5 and is tilted downward to ensure that the coolant is collected by the first liquid collecting trough 12 and prevent the coolant from flowing directly to the material trough 14, so that the material trough 14 and the borosilicate glass tube remain clean and dry. The bottom of the first liquid collecting trough 12 is connected to the material trough 14. The borosilicate glass tube falls into the material trough 14 under the action of gravity, which helps the borosilicate glass tube move along the material trough 14 to the open end to enter the next process. In order to facilitate the movement of the borosilicate glass tube in the material trough 14, the material trough 14 is tilted to use gravity to increase the moving speed of the borosilicate glass tube.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The material trough 14 includes a transition section extending downward from the bottom of the first collecting trough 12 and a collection section arranged obliquely downward from the transition section. A plurality of strip-shaped protrusions 15 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the collection section. A plurality of through holes 16 are arranged between adjacent strip-shaped protrusions 15. The through holes 16 are connected to a second collecting trough 17. The second collecting trough 17 is connected to a coolant supplier through a pipe. When the borosilicate glass tube is cut and enters the material trough 14, it will carry coolant. The strip-shaped protrusions 15 can prevent the borosilicate glass tube from sticking to the material trough 14 to reduce the moving speed, and at the same time provide space for the coolant to separate from the borosilicate glass tube. After separation, the coolant enters the second collecting trough 17 through a plurality of through holes 16, flows back to the coolant supplier for treatment, and is then provided to the coolant box 4 for reuse, which is conducive to cost saving.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 A material rack 2 is arranged at the outlet end of the material trough 14, and an air drying device is installed on the material rack 2. The coolant carried by the borosilicate glass tube during processing is quickly dried to extend the service life of the glass tube and maintain its stable performance. The dry surface is helpful for subsequent processing or the quality of the workpiece, and also helps to keep the material trough 14 dry. It should be noted that moisture is the medium of many chemical reactions, and the moisture remaining on the surface of the borosilicate glass tube will cause it to be corroded or contaminated.

[0035] In some embodiments, a liquid absorbing material is provided in the first liquid collecting tank 12. When the coolant falls on the liquid absorbing material, it is not easy to splash. The liquid absorbing material has excellent liquid absorbing capacity, can quickly absorb and contain the coolant, and then be extracted by the coolant supplier, while playing a buffering role for the fall of the borosilicate glass tube.

[0036] In some embodiments, the liquid-absorbing material is sponge or silica gel. On the one hand, the sponge has high porosity and softness, and can quickly absorb and contain dripping coolant to prevent it from flowing into the material tank 14. On the other hand, silica gel has microporous and mesoporous structures, and can provide dispersed adsorption of coolant. Silicone gel is lost during use, and a reasonable method is used to treat it to restore its liquid-absorbing ability.

[0037] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 9 is a servo motor. The output torque and rotation speed of the servo motor are stable, so that the blasting knife 5 can run continuously for a long time.

[0038] In some embodiments, a temperature control system is provided in the coolant box 4, and the temperature control system includes a temperature sensing element for detecting the temperature of the coolant and a temperature regulating element electrically connected to the temperature sensing element. The temperature control system circulates the coolant in the coolant box 4 according to the set temperature to achieve temperature regulation, thereby ensuring that the coolant box 4 remains at the set temperature value and ensuring the cutting performance of the blasting knife 5. In addition, the outer layer of the coolant box 4 is provided with a thermal insulation material, which wraps the coolant box 4. The thermal insulation material can reduce the heat transferred from the driving mechanism 9 to the coolant box 4, thereby making the performance or density of the coolant inside the coolant box 4 stable and reducing the frequency of the coolant supplier adjusting the coolant.

[0039] In some embodiments, a groove 8 is provided on the cutting knife 5, and the groove 8 is arranged along the blade edge of the cutting knife 5. Continuous or spaced grooves 8 are processed on the surface of the cutting knife 5. The shape, depth, width and spacing of the grooves 8 are carefully calculated to ensure that the coolant can flow along the blade edge and does not affect the strength and stability of the cutting knife 5. When the cutting knife 5 rotates at a high speed during the cutting operation, the coolant flows along the trajectory of the groove 8, and the blade edge of the cutting knife 5 is covered with a continuous coolant film, which is beneficial to improve the cutting speed and efficiency.

[0040] In order to better understand the technical solution of the borosilicate glass tube cutting equipment disclosed in the present invention, it is described below in combination with relatively preferred technical features.

The cutting knife 5 is provided with a groove 8. The groove 8 is arranged along the blade edge of the cutting knife 5. The surface of the cutting knife 5 is processed with continuous grooves 8 to ensure that the coolant can flow smoothly along the blade edge without affecting the strength and stability of the cutting knife 5. When the cutting knife 5 rotates at a high speed during the cutting operation, the coolant flows along the trajectory of the groove 8. The blade edge of the cutting knife 5 is covered by a continuous coolant film, which improves the cutting speed and efficiency. The cutting knife 5 is connected to a coolant box 4 for providing coolant. The coolant box 4 is connected to a coolant supply The temperature control system includes a temperature sensing element for detecting the temperature of the coolant. The temperature control system circulates the coolant in the coolant box 4 according to the set temperature to achieve temperature regulation and ensure that the coolant box 4 is maintained at the set temperature value. The outer layer of the coolant box 4 is provided with a heat-insulating material, which wraps the coolant box 4. The heat-insulating material can reduce the heat transferred from the driving mechanism 9 to the coolant box 4. A recovery mechanism 6 is provided under the blasting knife 5. The recovery mechanism 6 includes a first collecting tank 12 for recovering the coolant and a material tank 14 for recovering the borosilicate tube. The first collecting tank 12 is provided with a liquid-absorbing material, which is a sponge. The first collecting tank 12 is connected to the coolant supplier through a pipe fitting, and the coolant falls on the sponge and is not easy to splash , and has excellent liquid absorption capacity, can quickly absorb and contain coolant, and then extract it by the coolant supplier, and at the same time play a buffering role for the fall of the borosilicate glass tube, the first collecting tank 12 is located below the blasting knife 5, the first collecting tank 12 is connected to the material tank 14, and the bottom of the first collecting tank 12 is inclined toward the material tank 14, the borosilicate glass tube falls into the material tank 14 under the action of gravity, moves along the material tank 14 to the open end to enter the next process, the outlet end of the material tank 14 is provided with a material rack 2, and the material rack 2 is installed with an air drying device, which can quickly air dry the coolant carried by the borosilicate glass tube during processing and help the material tank 14 to keep dry, the material tank 14 includes a transition section extending downward from the bottom of the first collecting tank 12 and a material collection section arranged obliquely downward from the transition section, the material collection The inner wall of the segment is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions 15 at intervals, and a plurality of through holes 16 are provided between adjacent strip-shaped protrusions 15. The through holes 16 are connected to the second liquid collecting tank 17, and the second liquid collecting tank 17 is connected to the coolant supplier through a pipe fitting. The coolant after the use of the blasting knife 5 first flows into the first liquid collecting tank 12 and then converges to the coolant supplier for treatment and then supplies to the coolant box 4. The processed borosilicate glass tube enters the material tank 14. When the borosilicate glass tube is cut and enters the material tank 14, it will carry the coolant. The strip-shaped protrusions 15 can prevent the glass tube from sticking in the material tank 14 to reduce the moving speed, and at the same time provide space for the coolant to separate from the borosilicate glass tube.
