Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass processing, and more specifically, to a glass substrate longitudinal cutting device. Background Art

[0002] A glass substrate is a thin sheet of glass with an extremely flat surface. It is one of the key basic materials for the flat panel display industry (including liquid crystal displays, OLED displays, etc.). On the glass production line, annealed molten glass flows continuously and uniformly. Then, forming equipment is used to combine the naturally overflowing molten glass into ultra-thin glass ribbons to obtain ultra-thin glass raw sheets. After that, cross-cutting equipment is used to cut the glass horizontally. Then, according to the size and shape of different customers or application scenarios, the glass products are cut vertically to form pieces of semi-finished products. During the glass production process, if only cross-cutting is performed without longitudinal cutting, a large amount of scrap that cannot be directly used may be generated. Through longitudinal cutting, these scraps can be further utilized, reducing the waste of raw materials and improving resource utilization.

[0003] Existing glass substrate longitudinal cutting equipment usually fixes the glass substrate to be cut on the cutting table with a suction cup, and then uses a cutting tool to cut the glass substrate longitudinally. However, this current cutting method often has the following limitations: First, the position of the cutting head is fixed. Once the placement position of the glass substrate deviates, the position of the glass substrate needs to be manually adjusted repeatedly. Usually, the worker directly places the glass substrate after the cross-cutting is completed on the cutting table, and then cuts the glass substrate longitudinally according to actual needs. Since deviations are inevitable during manual placement, the worker needs to remove the glass substrate again and adjust it multiple times to meet the requirements of longitudinal cutting, which greatly increases working time, causes waste of human resources, and reduces the efficiency of longitudinal cutting of the glass substrate; second, placing the glass substrate on the cutting table and using a suction cup for adsorption is prone to unstable adsorption, which can easily cause the position of the glass substrate to change during the longitudinal cutting process, which not only reduces work efficiency but also causes waste of the entire glass substrate material. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a glass substrate longitudinal cutting device, in which the cutting head can slide along the cutting table according to actual cutting needs under the action of a tool adjustment device, and the position of the cutting head can be adjusted at any time without manually readjusting the placement position of the glass substrate. At the same time, under the action of a fixing device, the glass substrate can be quickly and firmly fixed on the cutting table, thereby enhancing stability during the cutting process.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a glass substrate longitudinal cutting device is provided, comprising a cutting table for placing a glass substrate, a cutting head being installed above the cutting table, the glass substrate being fixedly mounted on the cutting table by a plurality of fixing devices, and the cutting head being slidably mounted on the cutting table by a tool adjustment device.

[0006] Through this solution, multiple fixing devices can quickly and firmly fix the glass substrate on the cutting table, preventing the glass substrate from shifting due to loose fixation during the cutting process, affecting the cutting quality of the glass substrate and easily causing damage to the glass substrate; the tool adjustment device can enable the cutting head to move along the cutting table, so that the position of the cutting head can be adjusted in time according to actual cutting requirements, completing the precise cutting of the glass substrate without the need for manual repeated adjustment of the position of the glass substrate, thereby greatly improving the longitudinal cutting efficiency of the glass substrate.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing device includes a buckle and a locking component, and the buckle locks and fixes the glass substrate through the locking component.

[0008] With this solution, the buckle presses the glass substrate downward under the action of the locking component, firmly fixing the glass substrate on the cutting table, ensuring the stability of the glass substrate cutting process and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the buckle includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the first connecting rod is vertically fixedly connected to the second connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is pressed against the glass substrate.

[0010] With this solution, the first connecting rod can slide up and down along the locking component. When the second connecting rod presses against the glass substrate, the first connecting rod can be fixed under the action of the locking component, thereby fixing the position of the glass substrate and having high practicality.

[0011] Preferably, the locking component includes a fixed block and a convex button, the fixed block is fixedly installed on the cutting table, the first connecting rod is sleeved on the fixed block and slidably connected thereto, a plurality of evenly distributed holes are vertically opened on both sides of the first connecting rod, and the convex button matching the holes is elastically installed on the fixed block.

[0012] With this solution, the first connecting plate is sleeved on the fixing block, and the position of the second connecting rod is adjusted up and down according to the actual thickness of the glass substrate. When the second connecting rod is firmly pressed against the glass substrate, the convex button on the fixing block passes through the hole on the first connecting rod under the action of the spring, thereby fixing the position of the first connecting rod. The locking method is simple and meets the fixing needs of glass substrates of different thicknesses.

[0013] Preferably, the knob is mounted on the upper end portion of the fixing block.

[0014] With this solution, the knob is mounted on the upper end of the fixing block, which extends the distance between the upper surface of the glass substrate and the bottom surface of the second connecting rod, thereby meeting the fixing requirements of glass substrates of different thicknesses to the greatest extent and having a wide range of applications.

[0015] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed at the lower portion of the second connecting rod.

[0016] Through this solution, the provision of the rubber pad can not only provide a better protection effect for the glass substrate and prevent the surface of the glass substrate from being scratched, but also enhance the friction between the second connecting rod and the glass substrate, thereby achieving a better fixing effect.

[0017] Preferably, the tool adjustment device includes a guide seat symmetrically installed on the cutting table and a mounting seat for connecting the cutting head. The mounting seat is arranged inside the guide seat and slidably connected thereto. The mounting seat is fixedly connected to the guide seat through a fixing component.

[0018] Through this solution, the mounting seat connected to the lower end of the cutting head slides in the guide seat, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the cutting head. When the cutting head is adjusted to a suitable position, the position of the cutting head is fixed using a fixing component, and then the cutting head can perform longitudinal cutting according to actual needs, thereby enhancing the cutting accuracy and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, the fixing component includes a screw, a nut and a slide groove opened on the outside of the guide seat, one end of the screw is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat, and the other end passes through the slide groove and is slidably connected thereto, and the screw is fixedly connected to the guide seat through the nut.

[0020] Through this solution, the screw on the mounting seat slides along the direction of the slide groove on the guide seat. When the cutting head is adjusted to the appropriate position, a nut is used to fix the screw and the guide seat, thereby completing the fixation of the cutting head position, so that the cutting head can smoothly complete the longitudinal cutting.

[0021] Preferably, the top of the guide seat is marked with a scale line.

[0022] Through this solution, the setting of the scale lines can be used to find the cutting position of the glass substrate more intuitively and clearly according to actual cutting needs, thereby ensuring cutting accuracy and improving cutting efficiency.

[0034] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0036] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] Example

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the glass substrate longitudinal cutting equipment in this embodiment includes a cutting table 2 for placing a glass substrate 1, a cutting head 3 is installed above the cutting table 2, and the glass substrate 1 is fixedly mounted on the cutting table 2 by multiple fixing devices 4. The cutting head 3 is slidably mounted on the cutting table 2 by a tool adjustment device 5. There are four fixing devices 4 in this embodiment.

[0039] The four fixing devices 4 can quickly and firmly fix the glass substrate 1 on the cutting table 2, preventing the glass substrate 1 from shifting due to loose fixation during the cutting process, affecting the cutting quality of the glass substrate and easily causing damage to the glass substrate; the tool adjustment device 5 can enable the cutting head 3 to move along the cutting table 2, so that the position of the cutting head 3 can be adjusted in time according to actual cutting requirements, completing the precise cutting of the glass substrate without manually and repeatedly adjusting the position of the glass substrate, thereby greatly improving the longitudinal cutting efficiency of the glass substrate.

[0040] Furthermore, the fixing device 4 includes a buckle 41 and a locking component 42. The buckle 41 locks and fixes the glass substrate 1 through the locking component 42. Specifically, the buckle 41 can be separated from the locking component 42 when the glass substrate 1 is placed on the cutting table 2, thereby making it easier to place the glass substrate 1. When the glass substrate 1 needs to be clamped, the buckle 41 is installed on the locking component 42.

[0041] The buckle 41 presses the glass substrate 1 downward under the action of the locking component 42 , and firmly fixes the glass substrate 1 on the cutting table 2 , thereby ensuring the stability of the glass substrate cutting process and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, the buckle 41 includes a first connecting rod 411 and a second connecting rod 412 . The first connecting rod 411 and the second connecting rod 412 are vertically fixedly connected, and the second connecting rod 412 presses against the glass substrate 1 .

[0043] The first connecting rod 411 can slide up and down along the locking component 42. When the second connecting rod 412 presses against the glass substrate 1, the first connecting rod 411 can be fixed under the action of the locking component 42, thereby fixing the position of the glass substrate, which is highly practical.

[0044] Furthermore, the locking component 42 includes a fixed block 421 and a convex button 422. The fixed block 421 is fixedly installed on the cutting table 2. The fixed block 421 can provide a better positioning effect for the placement of the glass substrate 1. The first connecting rod 411 is sleeved on the fixed block 421 and slidably connected thereto. A plurality of evenly distributed holes 423 are vertically opened on both sides of the first connecting rod 411. The convex button 422 matching the holes 423 is elastically installed on the fixed block 421.

[0045] The first connecting plate 411 is sleeved on the fixing block 421 (the two are detachable), and the position of the second connecting rod 412 is adjusted up and down according to the actual thickness of the glass substrate 1. When the second connecting rod 412 is firmly pressed against the glass substrate 1, the protruding button 422 on the fixing block 421 passes through the hole 423 on the first connecting rod 411 under the action of the spring 424, thereby fixing the position of the first connecting rod 411. The locking method is simple and meets the needs of fixing glass substrates of different thicknesses.

[0046] Furthermore, the convex button 422 is installed at the upper end of the fixing block 421, extending the distance between the upper surface of the glass substrate 1 and the bottom surface of the second connecting rod 412, which can meet the fixing needs of glass substrates of different thicknesses to the greatest extent and has a wide range of applications.

[0047] Furthermore, a rubber pad 6 is installed at the lower portion of the second connecting rod 412 .

[0048] The provision of the rubber pad 6 can not only provide a good protection effect for the glass substrate 1 and prevent the surface of the glass substrate 1 from being scratched, but also enhance the friction between the second connecting rod 412 and the glass substrate 1, thereby achieving a better fixing effect.

[0049] Furthermore, the tool adjustment device 5 includes a guide seat 51 symmetrically installed on the cutting table 2 and a mounting seat 52 for connecting the cutting head 3. The mounting seat 52 is arranged inside the guide seat 51 and is slidably connected thereto. The mounting seat 52 is fixedly connected to the guide seat 51 through a fixing component 7. Specifically, a groove 9 is provided at the lower portion of the mounting seat 52, and a protrusion 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide seat 51. The protrusion 10 is adapted for sliding connection with the groove 9. The width of the top of the longitudinal cross-section of the protrusion 10 is greater than the width of its bottom, so that the mounting seat 52 detaches from the guide seat 51 during movement.

[0050] The mounting seat 52 connected to the lower end of the cutting head 3 slides in the guide seat 51, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the cutting head 3. When the cutting head 3 is adjusted to a suitable position, the fixing component 7 is used to fix the position of the cutting head 3, and then the cutting head 3 can perform longitudinal cutting according to actual needs, thereby enhancing the cutting accuracy and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, the fixing component 7 includes a screw 71, a nut 72 and a slide groove 73 opened on the outside of the guide seat 51. One end of the screw 71 is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 52, and the other end passes through the slide groove 73 and is slidably connected to it. The screw 71 is fixedly connected to the guide seat 51 through the nut 72.

[0052] The screw 71 on the mounting seat 52 slides along the direction of the slide groove 73 on the guide seat 51. When the cutting head 3 is adjusted to a suitable position, the nut 72 is used to fix the screw and the guide seat 51, thereby completing the fixation of the position of the cutting head 3, so that the cutting head 3 can smoothly complete the longitudinal cutting.

[0053] Furthermore, a scale line 8 is marked on the top of the guide seat 51 .

[0054] The setting of the scale lines 8 can help find the cutting position of the glass substrate 1 more intuitively and clearly according to actual cutting requirements, thereby ensuring cutting accuracy and improving cutting efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, a connecting frame 11 is vertically fixedly installed on the top of the mounting seat 52, a screw 12 is installed between the two connecting frames 11, a slider 13 is threadedly connected to the screw 12, a cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the slider 13, the piston rod of the cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the cutting head 3, a sensor 15 is installed on one side of the cutting head 3, and the screw 12 is driven and connected to a motor 16 fixedly installed on the connecting frame 11.

[0056] Under the action of the cylinder 14 and the sensor 15, the cutting head 3 can be moved downward so that it contacts the glass substrate 1, and then the motor 16 is started. The rotation of the motor 16 drives the rotation of the screw 12, and then the slider 13 completes the longitudinal cutting of the glass substrate 1 along the direction of the screw 12.

[0057] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] Place the glass substrate 1 on the cutting table 2 and press down on the first connecting rod 411, so that the second connecting rod 412 presses against the glass substrate 1. At this time, the protruding button 422 installed on the fixing block 421 is ejected by the spring 424 and plugged into the hole 423 on the side of the first connecting rod 411, thereby fixing the position of the glass substrate 1. Then, according to the actual cutting needs of the glass substrate, under the action of the scale line 8, pull the screw 71, causing the screw 71 to move along the slide 73, thereby driving the position of the cutting head 3. When the designated position is reached, the nut 72 is used to securely connect the mounting base 52 to the guide base 51, and then the motor 16 is started to drive the cutting head 3 to move and cut, finally completing the longitudinal cutting of the glass substrate 1.

[0059] The technical effect of the embodiment of the utility model is that the glass substrate longitudinal cutting equipment can not only adjust the position of the cutting head at any time according to the actual needs of glass substrate cutting, but also eliminate the need for manual multiple adjustments to the position of the glass substrate, thereby saving labor costs, ensuring the cutting quality of the glass substrate, and improving the longitudinal cutting efficiency of the glass substrate, but also can clamp and fix glass substrates of different thicknesses, thereby enhancing the stability of the glass substrate cutting process and reducing the scrap rate of the glass substrate.
