Abstract

[0002] Existing large-format glass laser cutting equipment uses either a single-layer belt conveyor or a double-layer recirculation line when transporting large-format glass. However, when using a single-layer belt conveyor to transport and process glass, the laser can easily damage the belt. When using a double-layer recirculation line to transport and process glass, the large number of lines can easily cause jamming. Moreover, the double-layer recirculation line requires a separate waste disposal device, which not only makes the equipment structure complex but also increases the manufacturing cost and occupies a large amount of space.

This is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

If there is a description of "first" or "second," it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or the order of the indicated technical features.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a large-format glass laser cutting device, including an annular conveying mechanism 1 and a laser cutting mechanism 2 and a laser dicing mechanism 3 disposed above the annular conveying mechanism 1. The annular conveying mechanism 1 includes two annular guide rail assemblies arranged opposite to each other, multiple sets of support plates spanning the upper ends of the two annular guide rail assemblies, multiple connecting plates 107 disposed on both sides of the lower end of each set of support plates and slidably connected to the two annular guide rail assemblies, and a driving mechanism for driving the connecting plates 107 to slide on the annular guide rail assemblies. Each set of support plates is composed of multiple strip plates 103 spaced apart, and each strip plate 103 has two connecting plates 107 on both sides of its lower end.
[0022] During operation, large-format glass is placed on a set of carrier plates at the input end of the circular conveyor mechanism 1. Then, the carrier plates are moved to the lower end of the laser cutting mechanism 2 by the drive mechanism for laser cutting. After cutting, they are moved to the lower end of the laser dicing mechanism 3 for laser dicing. After dicing, they are moved to the output end of the circular conveyor mechanism 1. The diced products are then unloaded by the unloading mechanism. Finally, the set of carrier plates will flip downward with the circular guide rail assembly, at which point the waste on the carrier plates will fall off, realizing the automatic dropping of waste.
[0023] Since each set of bearing plates is composed of multiple strip plates 103 with gaps, it can smoothly pass through the bends of the annular guide rail assembly. Because multiple sets of bearing plates are set, the continuity of processing can be guaranteed.
[0024] In this invention, the driving mechanism includes sprockets 104 disposed at both ends of each annular guide rail assembly, a chain 105 sleeved on the sprockets 104 at both ends and connected to the connecting plate 107, and a drive motor 106 driving one end of the sprockets 104 to rotate. The drive motor 106 drives one end of the sprockets 104 to rotate, the rotation of the sprockets 104 drives the chain 105 to rotate, the chain 105 drives the connecting plate 107 connected to it to move, and the connecting plate 107 drives the support plate to move along the annular guide rail assembly.
[0025] In this utility model, the annular conveying mechanism 1 further includes two positioning mechanisms respectively disposed inside each annular guide rail assembly. Each workstation corresponds to one positioning mechanism to ensure effective positioning at each stage of processing. Each positioning mechanism includes a positioning cylinder 201, a connecting arm 202, a connecting shaft 203, and multiple swing arms 204. The connecting shaft 203 is fixed to the inner side of the corresponding annular guide rail assembly through a bearing seat. The positioning cylinder 201 is fixed to the inner side of the corresponding annular guide rail assembly and is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 203 through the connecting arm 202. One end of each swing arm 204 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 203, and the other end of each swing arm 204 is provided with a positioning roller. Each connecting plate 107 is provided with a positioning slot for the positioning roller to be inserted. The spacing between the multiple swing arms 204 is the same as the spacing between the multiple connecting plates 107 at the lower end of each set of bearing plates.
[0026] When the support plate moves to the predetermined position, the positioning cylinder 201 of the positioning mechanism drives the connecting shaft 203 to rotate, causing its swing arm 204 to rotate. Finally, the positioning roller slides into the positioning slot on the link plate 107 to achieve effective positioning of the link plate 107 and ensure processing stability.
[0027] In this utility model, the annular guide rail assembly includes a guide rail support plate 102 and an annular guide rail 101 fixed on one side of the guide rail support plate 102. The connecting plate 107 is provided with clamping rollers for clamping the annular guide rail 101, ensuring that the connecting plate 107 can move smoothly along the annular guide rail 101.
[0028] In this invention, a waste box 12 is provided below the output end of the annular conveying mechanism 1. When the carrier moves to the flipping position, the waste on it will automatically fall into the waste box 12, thus realizing the collection of waste.
[0029] In this invention, the large-format glass laser cutting device further includes a loading mechanism and a unloading mechanism. The loading mechanism includes a loading robot 4 and a loading suction cup 5, and the unloading mechanism includes an unloading robot 6 and an unloading suction cup 7. This facilitates the loading and unloading of products.
[0030] In this invention, the large-format glass laser cutting device further includes a material rack and a positioning table. The material rack includes a base 8 and a support plate 9 located on the upper end of the base 8 for supporting unprocessed products. The positioning table includes a support column 10 and a positioning plate 11 located on the upper end of the support column 10. The positioning plate 11 has a rectangular structure with a baffle on each of its two adjacent sides, and the included angle of the side with the baffle is inclined downwards. During loading, the loading robot 4 picks up the glass raw material from the material rack through the loading suction cup 5 and places it on the positioning plate 11 for positioning. Since one end of the positioning plate 11 is inclined downwards, the glass can naturally slide down and be limited by the baffles on the two sides, thereby achieving automatic positioning. After positioning, the loading robot 4 picks up the product and places it on the bearing plate at the beginning for subsequent processing steps. This ensures processing stability and accuracy.
[0031] In this invention, the large-format glass laser cutting device also includes a transfer conveyor belt adapted to the unloading mechanism. The unloading robot 6 of the unloading mechanism picks up the cut product and places it on the transfer conveyor belt, which then transports it to the subsequent process.
[0032] In this invention, the laser cutting mechanism 2 includes a dual-cutting laser head and a cutting translation mechanism for translating the dual-cutting laser head, and the laser dicing mechanism 3 includes a dual-dicing laser head and a dicing translation mechanism for translating the dual-dicing laser head. Both the dual-cutting laser head and the dual-dicing laser head are split by two lasers respectively, and the dual-cutting laser head achieves XY-axis translation through a cutting translation mechanism, while the dual-dicing laser head achieves XY-axis translation through a dicing translation mechanism.
[0033] This invention achieves the circulation of the bearing plate by setting up a ring conveying mechanism 1, which has better continuity, simple structure, and low manufacturing cost.
[0034] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
