Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an optical glass element splinter jig, belonging to the technical field of optical glass processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Glass products, especially glass components used in the 3C industry and industrial control industry, are mostly cut by laser and separated from the final product through a splitting process.

[0003] The choice of splitting method depends on the type of laser cutting process and whether other processes are required before splitting, such as tempering, coating, and cleaning of the glass sheet. These processes require a certain degree of connection strength between the glass sheets after laser cutting, and the microcracks caused by laser cutting must be properly controlled, which places high demands on the splitting process.

[0004] Existing carbon dioxide laser thermal stress cracking methods have poor cracking effects due to the presence of the film layer and damage the film layer. Existing mechanical stress cracking methods have defects such as micro-cracks, broken edges or broken corners due to problems in the fixture design. For example, Chinese patent CN202320154006.9 solves the drop buffering problem after linear cracking, but it cannot be used for cracking continuous glass. For example, Chinese patent CN202121498449.7 uses a method of setting a height difference between the pressure plate pressure heads to crack continuous glass, but the pressure head contact surface is a flat layout. The force applied to the center of the glass product is not as vertically uniform as the force applied to the edge. The lack of a guiding function also causes the force point of each group of products to be offset.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes an optical glass cracking fixture. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an optical glass element cracking jig, which can separate the optical glass element product and the scrap by holding the handle of the upper mold and gently pressing the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass located on the lower mold downward along the guide hole, so as to minimize the adverse factors that affect the strength of the glass, such as micro-cracks, chipped edges or chipped corners on the edges of the separated glass.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that an exhaust hole is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity.

[0010] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that: guide holes are provided at the four corners of the upper template, the lower template and the guide holes of the upper template are movably connected through guide shafts and sleeves, and positioning holes are provided at the two side edges of the continuous plate punch, and the lower template is provided with positioning pins that can be inserted into the positioning holes.

[0011] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that: the lower template is also provided with a limit block with adjustable upper and lower heights.

[0012] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that the receiving cavity is square, circular or other geometric shapes.

[0013] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that: the four corners of the positioning groove are all provided with arc-shaped chamfers, and the four corners of the receiving cavity are also provided with arc-shaped chamfers.

[0014] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that through grooves are provided on both side edges of the upper template to form pressing handles.

[0015] The aforementioned optical glass element cracking jig is characterized in that the edges of the supporting ribs and the pressing ribs are both chamfered.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that by holding the handle of the upper mold and gently pressing the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass located on the lower mold downward along the guide hole, the direct force of the downward pressing ribs and the supporting ribs is utilized to separate the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass along the micro cracks after laser cutting, and the separated single piece of optical glass falls into the receiving chamber, thereby completing the separation of the optical glass component product and the scrap.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an optical glass element cracking jig includes an upper mold assembly 1 and a lower mold assembly 2 that can move up and down relatively, wherein the lower mold assembly 2 includes a lower mold plate 21, and the lower mold plate 21 is provided with a positioning groove for placing the optical glass element to be cracked, and a plurality of supporting ribs 22 are provided in the positioning groove, and the supporting ribs 22 divide the positioning groove into a plurality of receiving cavities 23 for accommodating a single optical glass element after cracking; the upper mold assembly 1 includes an upper mold plate 11, and the upper mold plate 11 is provided with a continuous plate punch 12, and the continuous plate punch 12 is provided with a plurality of downward pressure ribs 13 corresponding to the positions of the support ribs 22.

[0024] The middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass to be split is placed in the positioning groove and supported by the supporting ribs 22. Then, the upper mold assembly 1 is controlled to be pressed down, and the downward pressing ribs 13 on the continuous punch 12 are used to press down on the micro-cracks of the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass, so that the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass is separated along the micro-cracks after laser cutting, and the separated single piece of optical glass falls into the receiving chamber, completing the separation of the optical glass component product and the scrap. The entire separation process is simple to operate, and can minimize the adverse factors that affect the strength of the glass, such as micro-cracks, chipped edges or chipped corners on the edges of the separated glass.

[0025] In this embodiment, guide holes 16 are provided at the four corners of the upper template 11. The lower template 21 is movably connected to the guide holes 16 of the upper template 11 via guide shafts 3 and sleeves 4. Positioning holes 14 are provided at the two side edges of the continuous plate punch 12. Positioning pins 6 that can be inserted into the positioning holes 14 are provided on the lower template 21. Through grooves 15 are provided at the two side edges of the upper template 11 to form pressing handles. By holding the upper mold handle and gently pressing downward along the guide holes 16, during the pressing process, the positioning pins 6 are inserted into the positioning holes 14 to ensure the accuracy of the downward pressing position of the downward pressing rib 13 on the continuous plate punch 12, thereby ensuring the effect of the splitting. The lower template 21 is also provided with a limit block 5 with adjustable upper and lower heights. According to the thickness of the middle piece of the continuous optical coated glass, the height of the upper template 11 can be controlled by adjusting the height of the limit block 5, further ensuring the pressure control during the splitting. In this embodiment, the limit block 5 is connected to the lower template 21 by a threaded connection, and its limit height can be adjusted by rotation.

[0026] The bottom of the receiving cavity 23 is provided with an exhaust hole 24 to facilitate the smooth drop of the single optical glass element into the receiving cavity 23 after being broken, so as to facilitate collection and storage, and effectively prevent it from being damaged.

[0027] The four corners of the positioning grooves and the receiving cavity 23 are all provided with circular chamfers, facilitating the placement and removal of intermediate sheets of optically coated glass from a continuous sheet and individual optical glass components. The edges of the support ribs 22 and the hold-down ribs 13 are chamfered to ensure a gradual increase in pressure during the cleaving process, facilitating smooth cleaving without damaging the product.

[0028] In this embodiment, the receiving chambers 23 provided on the lower template 21 are 16 in total in 4 rows and 4 columns, and are square in shape. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that the number of receiving chambers 23 provided on the lower template 21 is 5 rows and 5 columns, totaling 25, and the shape is circular. When in use, the upper mold is first removed, and the middle piece of glass to be processed is placed in the positioning groove of the lower mold. Due to the symmetry of the design, there is no need to distinguish the direction. Then, the upper mold is covered and gently pressed down. According to the weight design and guide limit design of the upper mold, the splitting action is completed immediately by pressing down, and the product separation is completed.

[0030] In summary, the utility model provides an optical glass element cracking jig, which separates the optical glass element product and the scrap by holding the upper mold handle and gently pressing the continuous optical coated glass middle piece located on the lower mold downward along the guide hole, so as to minimize the adverse factors affecting the strength of the glass, such as micro-cracks, chipped edges or chipped corners on the edges of the separated glass.
