Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass processing, in particular to a positioning device applicable to the processing of special-shaped glass. Background Art

[0002] Optical glass is the foundation and an important part of the optoelectronic technology industry. The milling and grinding machine is one of the commonly used devices in the process of optical glass processing. During operation, the glass is fixed on the workbench through a fixture, and then the driving device drives the milling and grinding head to polish the surface or edge position of the glass, thereby realizing the grinding, chamfering or polishing processing of the glass.

[0003] Most of the existing milling and grinding machines use some fixed fixtures or fixed toolings to fix the glass, and most of them are used for glass with regular shapes. Although it is also possible to fix special-shaped glass such as non-parallelogram and non-regular polygon glass, due to the irregular shape of the special-shaped glass, the force applied by the fixture cannot be evenly applied to the glass, resulting in instability problems. And when the glass is fixed on the fixture or tooling, the position of the glass is fixed. When some parts of the glass need to be polished, the glass may need to be released from the positioning state, rotated by an angle, and repositioned before milling and grinding. This makes the process cumbersome and reduces the processing efficiency.

[0004] In summary, the existing positioning fixtures or toolings have a single function and cannot meet the positioning requirements during the processing of some special-shaped glass. And sometimes during processing, the glass needs to be readjusted and repositioned for some parts, resulting in a relatively low processing efficiency problem. Therefore, improvement is needed.

[0027] The technical solutions in the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a positioning device that can be used for processing special-shaped glass, including a cylindrical base 1 and a support base 2. The support base 2 is coaxially and rotatably installed at the top of the cylindrical base 1. An inwardly concave storage space 24 is provided at the center of the top of the support base 2. A negative pressure adsorption assembly 4 is further provided in the storage space 24, and the negative pressure adsorption assembly 4 creates suction to hold the surface of the glass.

[0029] A plurality of sliding grooves 23 are further provided at the top of the support base 2. The sliding grooves 23 are arranged radially along the upper surface of the support base 2. A positioning assembly 3 is further provided on the sliding grooves 23. The positioning assembly 3 is slidably arranged along the sliding grooves 23, so that the positioning assembly 3 can slide to the outer edge of the glass. An elastic member is further included, and the elastic member applies an elastic force towards the center position of the support base 2 to the positioning assembly 3.

[0030] By rotatably connecting the cylindrical base 1 and the support base 2, the support base 2 can freely rotate at the top of the cylindrical base 1. After the glass is fixed by the positioning assembly 3 on a plurality of sliding grooves 23, the glass can be freely rotated, allowing the processing tool to grind the glass from all directions. An elastic member is arranged in the sliding grooves 23 to apply an elastic force to the positioning assembly 3, and the suction force provided by the negative pressure adsorption assembly 4 in the storage space 24 of the support base 2 is used to jointly and stably control the processing state of the glass. According to the different positions of the positioning assembly 3 in the sliding grooves 23, the positioning assemblies 3 on a plurality of sliding grooves 23 cooperate with each other to process glass of various sizes and shapes.

[0031] Further, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, four sliding grooves 23 are provided and are equidistantly arranged around the center of the upper surface of the support base 2. The four sliding grooves 23 can stabilize the glass from four angles.

[0032] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a rotating ring 21 is provided at the bottom of the support base 2, and a ring groove 11 is provided at the corresponding position on the cylindrical base 1 for the rotating ring 21. By the mutual engagement of the rotating ring 21 and the ring groove 11, the support base 2 can rotate on its own. An annular toothed plate 22 is also provided around the outer wall of the support base 2 near the bottom. A steering gear 12 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical base 1. The steering gear 12 is bevel-geared to the annular toothed plate 22 to change the transmission direction of the gear. The center of the steering gear 12 is also connected to a rotating shaft 121. The rotating shaft 121 extends out of the outer wall of the base to the outside and is fixedly connected to a control wheel 122, so that the rotation of the support base 2 can be controlled manually or electrically from the side.

[0033] Further, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The positioning assembly 3 includes a slider 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning assembly 3. The slider 31 is slidably disposed in a chute 23. The positioning assembly 3 controls the size range of the positioning glass through the displacement of the slider 31 in the chute 23. When the positioning assembly 3 fixes the glass, different-shaped glasses can be fixed by the sliders 31 of each positioning assembly 3 at different positions in the chute 23.

[0034] Preferably, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the negative pressure adsorption assembly 4 includes a suction cup 41 provided at the top of the storage space 24 and an airbag 43 provided below the suction cup 41. A trachea 42 is also provided at the center of the top of the airbag 43. The trachea 42 extends vertically upward from the storage space 24 and is connected to the narrowed end of the suction cup 41. It also includes a counterweight plate 44. The counterweight plate 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the airbag 43;

[0035] The positioning assembly 3 also includes a pull rope 36. One end of the pull rope 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 31 in the displacement direction towards the support base 2. A channel that penetrates into the storage space 24 is opened on the inner wall of one end of the chute 23 near the central axis of the support base 2. The horizontal height of the channel 25 is not lower than the highest height after the counterweight plate 44 is lifted. The other end of the pull rope 36 extends into the storage space 24 along the channel 25 and is connected to the edge of the counterweight plate 44, and the contraction and expansion of the airbag 43 are controlled by pulling up or lowering the counterweight plate 44 through the displacement of the slider 31 to drive the pull rope 36.

[0036] As Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, when it is necessary to fix the glass, each positioning component 3 is controlled and slid to the other end of the chute 23. The glass is placed on the suction cup 41. At the same time, since multiple pull ropes 36 are pulled, and because the horizontal height of the channel is not lower than the maximum height at which the counterweight plate can be lifted, when the pull ropes 36 in all directions apply a pulling force to the counterweight plate 44, the counterweight plate 44 is lifted. The airbag 43 contracts under the extrusion of the counterweight plate 44, and the air is discharged from the contact position between the not yet fully fixed glass and the suction cup 41. At this time, the positioning component 3 is slowly released. Under the action of the elastic member, the positioning component 3 displaces towards the center of the support base 2 and clamps the glass after contacting the glass. After the pull rope 36 becomes loose, the counterweight plate 44 drops, and at the same time the airbag 43 begins to expand and inhale. However, because the suction cup 41 is in contact with the glass surface, air cannot quickly enter the airbag 43 from the contact position. Thus, the contact position between the glass surface and the suction cup 41 is sealed, and the glass is sucked by negative pressure, cooperating with the positioning component 3 to achieve a double-stable glass state.

[0037] Preferably, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the elastic member is arranged between one side of the bottom of the slider 31 and one end of the chute 23 close to the outer side of the support base 2. The elastic member is a spring 37. The cost of the spring 37 is relatively low, and the elastic force provided can meet the rebound requirements of the positioning component 3.

[0038] Preferably, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 shown, the positioning component 3 further includes a support block 32 and a positioning block 33 rotatably connected to the support block 32. The support block 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 31. One side of the support block 32 close to the center of the support base 2 is also provided with a bearing 35, and the other side is provided with a connecting rope 321. The free end of the connecting rope 321 is also provided with a hook 322. A hook ring 26 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position at the top of the cylindrical base 1 for hooking the hook 322. Through the above mechanism, after the positioning component 3 is slid to the other end of the chute, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the hook 322 on the connecting rope 321 can be used to hook the hook ring 26 at the corresponding position at the bottom of the cylindrical base 1, so that the position of the positioning component 3 can be temporarily fixed. Then, after the glass is placed on the negative pressure adsorption component 4, the fixing of two opposite positioning components 3 can be released in sequence. By loosening the connection between the hook 322 and the hook ring 26, the positioning component 3 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic force, thereby cooperating with the negative pressure adsorption component 4 to stably control the glass.

[0039] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, a convex shaft 34 is provided at the corresponding position at the bottom of the positioning block 33. The positioning block 33 is arranged in the bearing 35 through the convex shaft 34 and can rotate freely on the top of the support block 32. One side of the positioning block 33 is a V-shaped concave surface 331, and the included angle of the V-shaped concave surface 331 is less than 180°. The other side is a sunken inner arc surface 332. Sometimes the edges of glass with different shapes are uneven. The rotatable positioning block 33 can better adapt to the shape of the glass. By choosing to set different docking surfaces on both sides of the positioning block 33, the glass shape fixed by the positioning block 33 can be more comprehensive. The V-shaped concave surface 331 can handle straight edges, while the inner arc surface 332 can handle curved edges.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
