Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass edging, specifically to an automotive glass edging device. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive glass is categorized into four types based on its location: windshield, side windows, rear windshield, and sunroof. Most automotive glass has a curved structure. When grinding the edges of the glass, a support structure is typically used to hold the glass in place. The glass is then secured to the support structure by pressing or suction cups. The edges of the glass are then ground by a grinding head on the support arm. The rotation of the support structure changes the rotation angle of the glass, and the position of the grinding head is adjusted by the support arm to adapt to the curvature of the glass. During the grinding process, an external nozzle can be used to reduce dust in the grinding area.
[0003] As the grinding head is used for a longer period of time, glass debris adheres to its surface during the edging process. This necessitates frequent shutdowns for grinding head maintenance, which reduces glass production efficiency. Therefore, a glass edging device that can clean the grinding head has been proposed.

If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
[0031] In related technologies, as the grinding head is used over time, glass debris adheres to its surface during edging operations. This necessitates frequent shutdowns for grinding head maintenance, thereby reducing glass production efficiency. Therefore, a glass edging device capable of cleaning the grinding head has been proposed.
[0032] To address some of the problems in the related technologies, this application provides an automotive glass edging device. After the grinding head 230 grinds for a period of time, the rotation of the support arm 210 changes the position of the slider 310. When the slider 310 collides with the extrusion block 410, the slider drives the friction roller 360 to rub the outer surface of the grinding head 230. The rotation of the grinding head 230, combined with the spray nozzle 370 spraying water, quickly cleans the surface of the grinding head 230. After cleaning, the position of the support arm 210 is changed again, and the spring 430 elastically resets the friction roller 360 to separate it from the grinding head 230.
[0033] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0034] Combination Figures 1-7 This application provides an automotive glass edging device, including a base 100, a bracket 110 at the top of the base 100, a hydraulic cylinder 120 at the bottom of the bracket 110, a pressure plate 130 rotatably connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 120, a rotary table 140 inside the base 100, and a grinding mechanism 200 inside the base 100. The grinding mechanism 200 includes: a support arm 210 rotatably connected to the base 100; a motor 220 fixed to the top of the support arm 210, the output shaft of the motor 220 fixedly connected to a grinding head 230, a cleaning mechanism 300 on one side of the support arm 210, the cleaning mechanism 300 sliding on the support arm 210, and a reset mechanism 400 between the support arm 210 and the cleaning mechanism 300. By squeezing the cleaning mechanism 300, the cleaning mechanism 300 is brought closer to the grinding head 230. When the squeezing is released, the reset mechanism 400 resets the cleaning mechanism 300.
[0035] Specifically, when grinding automotive glass, the glass to be processed is first placed onto the rotary table 140 using a vacuum suction cup, or manually. A hydraulic cylinder 120 changes the height of the pressure plate 130, which then presses the top of the glass, restricting its position on the rotary table 140. Next, the motor 220 is started, driving the grinding head 230 to rotate. The rotation of the support arm 210 changes the position of the grinding head 230, allowing it to grind the edges of the glass. Simultaneously, the rotary table 140 rotates the glass. During the grinding process, external water is introduced through the cleaning mechanism 300. Water can be sprayed onto the grinding head 230 area to cool the grinding area and remove a small amount of waste material on the surface of the grinding head 230. After grinding for a period of time, the support arm 210 can be rotated to press the cleaning mechanism 300 against one side of the base 100, based on manual judgment or a specified time. The cleaning mechanism 300 then approaches the outer wall of the grinding head 230. At this time, the motor 220 drives the grinding head 230 to rotate, thereby cleaning the surface of the grinding head 230. After cleaning, the cleaning mechanism 300 is reset on the support arm 210 by the operation of the reset mechanism 400. The vacuum suction cup is not shown in the attached drawing and is a device for transferring glass.
[0036] In some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 300 includes: a slider 310, a through groove 211 provided on the support arm 210, the slider 310 being slidably connected to the through groove 211, and a friction roller 360 being rotatably connected to the slider 310.
[0037] Specifically, the slider 310 slides on the through groove 211, thereby changing the position of the friction roller 360, so that the friction roller 360 contacts the outer wall of the grinding head 230, thereby cleaning the surface of the grinding head 230. The outer surface of the friction roller 360 has a brush.
[0038] In some embodiments, a second nozzle 370 is provided on the slider 310, and the second nozzle 370 is connected to an external water source. A three-way pipe 330 is provided on one side of the slider 310. The outlet end of the three-way pipe 330 is connected to a first nozzle 320.
[0039] Specifically, external water is connected through the three-way pipe 330, which can guide water into the two nozzles. Nozzle 1 320 can cool and clean the grinding area, while nozzle 2 370 can rinse and clean the surface of the grinding head 230.
[0040] In some embodiments, the reset mechanism 400 includes a support base 420, a connecting block 340 is provided on one side of the slider 310, the support base 420 is fixed to itself, and a spring 430 is provided between the support base 420 and the support arm 210. A pressing block 410 that cooperates with the slider 310 is provided on one side of the base 100.
[0041] Specifically, the rotation of the support arm 210 changes the position of the slider 310. When the slider 310 collides with the extrusion block 410, the slider 310 drives the friction roller 360 to rub against the outer surface of the grinding head 230. The rotation of the grinding head 230, combined with the spray nozzle 370 spraying water, quickly cleans the surface of the grinding head 230. After cleaning, the position of the support arm 210 is changed again, and the elastic reset of the spring 430 separates the friction roller 360 from the grinding head 230. When the slider 310 slides in the through groove 211, the three-way pipe 330 is not affected. The slider 310 only slides a part of the way, and the three-way pipe 330 is not attached to the side wall of the support arm 210.
[0042] In some embodiments, a baffle 350 is rotatably connected to the through slot 211. The baffle 350 is connected to the support arm 210 by a torsion spring. When no force is applied to the slider 310, the two baffles 350 can close the through slot 211. The torsion spring is not shown in the figures.
