Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass processing auxiliary equipment and relates to a glass processing auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] Existing cars use 3D glass in areas requiring display or touch, such as the center console and instrument panel. The processing steps for 3D glass are generally to first heat and soften the glass substrate at high temperature, and then use a mold to bend it into shape. However, the end faces of the glass substrate after bend are no longer right-angled surfaces, so further cutting is required to realign the end faces of the bent 3D glass to right-angled surfaces. However, since the bent 3D glass is already curved, the related operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose a glass processing auxiliary device. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to improve the efficiency of vehicle-mounted 3D glass processing.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A glass processing auxiliary device includes a positioning seat, characterized in that the upper end surface of the positioning seat is an inclined surface arranged from back to front and from top to bottom, and the upper end surface of the positioning seat has a groove arranged downward, and the bottom wall of the groove has a through hole passing through it from top to bottom.

[0006] Before CNC machining, a glass substrate is placed on the upper end surface of a positioning seat, and a through hole is connected to an exhaust device. The exhaust device sucks away the air in the groove to form a negative pressure in the groove, so that the glass substrate is firmly adsorbed and positioned on the upper end surface of the positioning seat. The glass substrate on the positioning seat is then cut through CNC machining, so that the end surfaces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate after cutting are inclined. The cut glass substrate is then hot-bent, so that the end surfaces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate are directly converted from inclined surfaces to right-angled surfaces after hot bending compensation. The operation is faster and simpler, thereby improving the efficiency of automotive 3D glass processing.

[0007] In the aforementioned glass processing auxiliary device, the front and rear side surfaces of the positioning seat are both vertically arranged and connected to the front and rear ends of the positioning seat's upper end surface, respectively. This prevents the cutter from colliding with the front and rear sides of the positioning seat during cutting of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate, thereby improving the efficiency of in-vehicle 3D glass processing.

[0008] In the aforementioned glass processing auxiliary device, the left and right sides of the positioning base are both vertically arranged and connected to the left and right ends of the positioning base's upper end surface, respectively. This prevents the cutter from colliding with the left and right sides of the positioning base during cutting of the left and right end surfaces of the glass substrate, thereby improving the efficiency of in-vehicle 3D glass processing.

[0009] In the aforementioned glass processing auxiliary device, the positioning seat has a plurality of support blocks located within the grooves, the upper surfaces of the support blocks being flush with the upper end surface of the positioning seat. The support blocks can provide auxiliary support for the glass substrate located on the upper end surface of the positioning seat, allowing the glass substrate to be better adsorbed and positioned.

[0010] In the above-mentioned glass processing auxiliary device, the support blocks are rectangular parallelepipeds of different sizes and are arranged in a matrix. The above structure makes the spacing between the support blocks more uniform and reasonable, which is conducive to the adsorption and positioning of the glass substrate located on the upper end surface of the positioning seat.

[0011] In the aforementioned glass processing auxiliary device, the positioning seat, groove, and support block are each in the form of a long strip extending in the left-right direction. The design dimensions of automotive 3D glass are typically between 300 and 1200 mm. This structure facilitates the adsorption and positioning of the glass substrate, improving the versatility of the glass processing auxiliary device. Furthermore, the positioning seat matches the length and width of the glass substrate to be cut, facilitating the cutting of the edge of the glass substrate.

[0012] In the aforementioned glass processing auxiliary device, the through hole is vertically arranged and located at the center of the groove. The above structure can better evacuate the groove and make the negative pressure distribution in the groove more uniform, which is conducive to the adsorption and positioning of the glass substrate located on the upper end surface of the positioning seat.

[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this glass processing auxiliary device are: this glass processing auxiliary device first cuts the glass substrate so that the end faces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate after cutting are inclined, and then hot bends the cut glass substrate so that the end faces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate are directly changed from inclined surfaces to right-angle surfaces after hot bending compensation. The operation is faster and simpler, thereby improving the efficiency of vehicle-mounted 3D glass processing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0019] A glass processing auxiliary device, referring to Figure 1-3 , including a positioning seat 1, the upper end surface 1a of the positioning seat 1 is an inclined surface inclined from top to bottom from back to front, and the upper end surface 1a of the positioning seat 1 has a groove 1b that is concave downward, and the bottom wall of the groove 1b has a through hole 2 that passes through from top to bottom.

[0020] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positioning seat 1 has a plurality of support blocks 1c located within the groove 1b, with the upper surfaces of the support blocks 1c flush with the upper end surface 1a of the positioning seat 1. In this embodiment, the support blocks 1c are preferably rectangular parallelepipeds of varying sizes and arranged in a matrix. The positioning seat 1, groove 1b, and support blocks 1c are preferably each strip-shaped and extending in the left-right direction, and the positioning seat 1 matches the length and width of the glass substrate to be cut to facilitate cutting the edge of the glass substrate. The through hole 2 is preferably vertically arranged and located at the center of the groove 1b.

[0021] Before CNC machining, a glass substrate is placed on the upper end surface 1a of the positioning seat 1. Several support blocks 1c located in the groove 1b can provide auxiliary support for the glass substrate. Then, the through hole 2 is connected to the exhaust device, and the air in the groove 1b is sucked away by the exhaust device to form a negative pressure in the groove 1b, so that the glass substrate is firmly adsorbed and positioned on the upper end surface 1a of the positioning seat 1. Then, the glass substrate on the positioning seat 1 is cut by CNC machining, so that the end surfaces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate are inclined after cutting. Then, the cut glass substrate is thermally bent, so that the end surfaces of the front and rear ends of the glass substrate are directly converted from inclined surfaces to right-angled surfaces after thermal bending compensation. The operation is faster and simpler, thereby improving the efficiency of automotive 3D glass processing.
