Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass tube laser cutting equipment, in particular to a large-volume glass tube positioning and rotating mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Traditional wheel cutting produces a large amount of glass dust, which requires water for rinsing and cooling, polluting the environment. Material utilization is only around 70%, and waste cannot be directly recycled because the wheel wears during the cutting process, and the worn material contaminates the glass tube, altering its properties. Laser cutting, on the other hand, performs contactless, modified cutting of glass tubes. It offers high cutting efficiency, is dust-free, and boasts a high material utilization rate exceeding 90%. Waste can also be directly recycled.

[0003] Application number "201821298739.5" discloses a discharge cutting mechanism for a tube laser cutting machine. This mechanism utilizes laser cutting, with two guide rollers engaging and rotating against the outer wall of the glass tube, enabling the glass tube to be cut under the laser head. However, this mechanism can only rotate one glass tube at a time, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the glass tube is susceptible to vibration during rotation, affected by the surface flatness of the guide rollers, resulting in circumferential misalignment. Furthermore, the guide rollers, in engagement with and relative to the outer wall of the glass tube, scratch the tube's surface, limiting this technical solution. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3A large-volume glass tube positioning and rotating mechanism is provided at the output end of a glass tube pushing platform, comprising a mounting frame 10, a linear drive module 20, a base 30, a lifting drive module 40, and a pressing plate 50; the mounting frame 10 is mounted on the output end of the glass tube pushing platform, and is formed with two supporting plates 11 oppositely arranged outside the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform, and a mounting plate 12 connected to the top of the two supporting plates 11 and parallel to the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform; the linear drive module 20 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 12, and the base 30 is provided on the driving end of the linear drive module 20, so that the linear drive module 20 can drive the driving end side thereof to move. The base 30 moves synchronously with the linear drive module 20; the base 30 is provided with a connecting plate 31 connected to the driving end of the linear drive module 20 and a seat plate 32 connected to the rear end of the connecting plate 31 and perpendicular to the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform; the lifting drive module 40 is arranged on the rear end surface of the seat plate 32 perpendicular to the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform, and the driving end of the lifting drive module 40 is provided with the pressing plate 50, which is parallel to and has the same width or wider than the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform. A flexible pad 51 is provided at the bottom of the pressing plate 50 for the driving end of the lifting drive module 40 to extend and retract, thereby driving the pressing plate 50 to rise and fall relative to the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform.

[0019] It can be understood that the method of using the large-scale glass tube positioning and rotating mechanism of the present invention is as follows: after manually laying a large number of glass tubes onto the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform, the pushing structure of the glass tube pushing platform pushes the bottom of the glass tube, driving the glass tube to be conveyed to the conveying end; when the glass tube is conveyed to the output end, the driving end of the lifting drive module 40 extends, driving the pressure plate 50 to press the glass tube downward, and pressing the flexible cushion layer 51 against the top of the glass tube to position the glass tube, and then, the linear drive module 20 operates, and its driving end moves to one side or the other, driving the base 30, the lifting drive module 40 and the pressure plate 50 to move synchronously, so that the glass tube in the pressed state rotates synchronously, so as to facilitate laser cutting of the glass tube.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the seat plate 32 is provided with guide rails 321 perpendicular to the pressure plate 50 on both sides of its rear end surface, and each guide rail 321 is provided with a slider 322 that can slide. The pressure plate 50 is provided with a fixed plate 52 connected to the slider 322 on the same side on both sides of its top to improve the stability of the lifting drive module 40 when driving the pressure plate 50 to rise and fall.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform is provided with a rubber coating. The rubber coating has sufficient friction and can reduce the scratches caused when the glass tube contacts the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform, thereby ensuring that the glass tube can rotate normally on the conveying surface of the glass tube pushing platform.

[0022] Further, in the embodiment, the lifting driving module 40 preferably adopts a pneumatic cylinder.

[0023] Further, in the embodiment, the linear driving module 20 is provided with a plurality of displacement sensors 21 at the front end, and the connecting plate 31 is provided with a trigger piece 311 at the front end for triggering the displacement sensors 21, so as to control the displacement range of the driving end of the linear driving module 20.
