[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic glass, large pieces of glass need to be cut to obtain photovoltaic glass panels of the required size and shape.

[0003] During glass cutting, the friction between the cutting tool and the glass generates heat. To prevent local overheating from causing excessive local stress in the glass and leading to breakage, cutting fluid is usually sprayed onto the contact area between the glass and the cutting tool during the cutting process to cool it down and reduce friction.

[0004] In the prior art, because the cutting fluid is inside the tank, it is not easy to observe the fluid level and for workers to replenish the cutting fluid, resulting in insufficient cutting fluid, as in CN108692791A. Utility Model Content

[0033] All terms used in this application have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0034] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cutting fluid container disclosed in Embodiment 1 of this application includes: a container assembly 10 and a liquid level monitoring assembly 20. The container assembly 10 has a liquid inlet. The liquid level monitoring assembly 20 includes a guide rail structure 21, a floating structure 22 and a monitoring structure 23. The guide rail structure 21 is connected to the container assembly 10. The floating structure 22 is partially located inside the container assembly 10. The floating structure 22 is movably connected to the guide rail structure 21. The monitoring structure 23 is connected to the guide rail structure 21.

[0036] Using the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the cutting fluid enters the housing assembly 10 through the inlet. The floating structure 22 located inside the housing assembly 10 moves vertically according to the change in the cutting fluid level. The floating structure 22 moves vertically along the guide rail structure 21. The monitoring structure 23 monitors the position of the floating structure 22 on the guide rail structure 21 to determine the fluid level. When the fluid level is low, the operator can replenish the cutting fluid through the inlet in a timely manner. The technical solution of Embodiment 1 effectively solves the problem of difficulty in observing the cutting fluid level during glass cutting in the prior art.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the guide rail structure 21 includes a fixed base 211 and a guide rail 212. The guide rail 212 is connected to the fixed base 211. The housing assembly 10 has an opening, and the fixed base 211 is correspondingly arranged with the opening. The projection of the opening in the vertical direction is located inside the projection of the fixed base 211 in the vertical direction. The fixed base 211 is fixed to the outside of the housing assembly 10, sealing the opening and effectively preventing external dust and other contaminants from entering the housing assembly 10, which would contaminate the cutting fluid, affect the cutting effect, and in severe cases, the contaminants could even clog the cutting fluid pipeline, affecting the cutting fluid spraying.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the floating structure 22 includes a float 221, a connecting rod 222, and a slider 223. The float 221 is disposed inside the housing assembly 10. The first end of the connecting rod 222 is connected to the float 221, and the second end of the connecting rod 222 is connected to the slider 223. The slider 223 is movably connected to the guide rail structure 21, and the connecting rod 222 is movably mounted on the fixed seat 211. The float 221 is made of hollow stainless steel. The float 221 of this structure floats on the surface of the liquid under the action of liquid buoyancy. The use of stainless steel material effectively prevents the float 221 from being corroded by the cutting fluid, rusting, reducing its service life, and contaminating the cutting fluid. The vertical height of the float 221 changes with the liquid level, causing the connecting rod 222 and the slider 223 to move vertically. The slider 223 slides along the guide rail structure 21, which guides the movement of the slider 223 and prevents the entire floating structure 22 from tilting, which would result in inaccurate liquid level measurement results.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the monitoring structure 23 includes a first monitoring unit 231 and a second monitoring unit 232. Both the first monitoring unit 231 and the second monitoring unit 232 are connected to the guide rail 212. The first monitoring unit 231 and the second monitoring unit 232 have a predetermined distance in the vertical direction, and the slider 223 is located between the first monitoring unit 231 and the second monitoring unit 232. The first monitoring unit 231 is set according to the highest liquid level, and the second monitoring unit 232 is set according to the lowest liquid level. When the cutting fluid is replenished, the first monitoring unit 231 detects that the slider 223 is approaching. When the slider 223 moves to the first monitoring unit 231, the liquid level reaches the preset highest value, and the replenishment of cutting fluid stops. During the cutting process, the cutting fluid is continuously consumed, and the slider 223 moves in the direction close to the second monitoring unit 232. When the slider 223 moves to support the second monitoring unit 232, the liquid level reaches the preset lowest value, and the operator needs to replenish the cutting fluid in time. The setup of the first monitoring unit 231 and the second monitoring unit 232 further facilitates the observation of the highest and lowest liquid levels, helping staff to replenish or stop replenishing cutting fluid in a timely manner.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first monitoring unit 231 includes a first mounting base 2311 and a first proximity switch 2312, the first proximity switch 2312 being connected to the first mounting base 2311. The second monitoring unit 232 includes a second mounting base 2321 and a second proximity switch 2322, the second proximity switch 2322 being connected to the second mounting base 2321. The guide rail 212 has an elongated hole 2121. A first fastener passes through the first mounting base 2311 and the elongated hole 2121, and a second fastener passes through the second mounting base 2321 and the elongated hole 2121. Both the first proximity switch 2312 and the second proximity switch 2322 are electromagnetic induction switches. The slider 223 has a metal sensing block. The movement of the slider 223 affects the magnetic field of the first proximity switch 2312 and the second proximity switch 2322. By changing the magnetic field, the first proximity switch 2312 and the second proximity switch 2322 can determine the position of the slider, thereby determining the liquid level height. Loosen the first and second fasteners, move the positions of the first mounting base 2311 and the second mounting base 2321, thereby changing the vertical height of the first proximity switch 2312 and the second proximity switch 2322, which can change the preset values ​​of the highest and lowest liquid levels to meet different usage requirements.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the floating structure 22 further includes a first limiting part 224 and a second limiting part 225. Both the first limiting part 224 and the second limiting part 225 are connected to the connecting rod 222. The first limiting part 224 is located on the side of the fixed seat 211 near the slider 223, and the second limiting part 225 is located on the side of the fixed seat 211 near the float 221. The setting of the first limiting part 224 and the second limiting part 225 restricts the movement range of the connecting rod 222, thereby restricting the movement range of the float 221. This prevents the hollow float 221 from colliding with the inner wall of the tank assembly 10, causing surface dents, reducing volume, changing the buoyancy, and leading to inaccurate liquid level monitoring results.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the slider 223 includes a first connecting part 2231 and a second connecting part 2232. The second connecting part 2232 is disposed within the first connecting part 2231, and the connecting rod 222 passes through the first connecting part 2231. The second connecting part 2232 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 222. The first connecting part 2231 is made of plastic material to reduce sliding friction and facilitate the sliding of the slider 223. The second connecting part 2232 is made of metal material. The second end of the connecting rod 222 is threadedly connected to the second connecting part 2232 to avoid slippage and affect the fixing effect. Under different working conditions, different cutting fluids are required. The densities of various cutting fluids differ. Replacing the second connecting part 2232 with a different mass changes the mass of the entire floating structure 22, thereby controlling the height of the float 221 above the liquid surface to remain consistent and avoiding inaccurate liquid level monitoring results caused by different heights of the float 221 above the liquid surface.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the inner wall of the guide rail 212 is provided with a limiting protrusion 2122, and the first connecting part 2231 has a limiting groove, which cooperates with the limiting protrusion 2122. The guide rail 212 includes two rails, both of which are connected to the fixed base 211 and are arranged in parallel. A detachable mounting plate is provided at the end of each guide rail 212 away from the fixed base 211. Both guide rails 212 are detachably connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate ensures that the two guide rails 212 are parallel, preventing the guide rails 212 from tilting. The two limiting protrusions 2122 are arranged opposite each other, and the limiting groove corresponds one-to-one with each of the two limiting protrusions 2122. The setting of the limiting protrusions 2122 and the limiting groove prevents the slider 223 from moving out of the guide rail structure 21, thus preventing the rectification structure from failing.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the liquid level monitoring component 20 further includes an alarm structure connected to the monitoring structure 23. The alarm structure has a loudspeaker. A first proximity switch 2312 is connected in series with the alarm structure, and a second proximity switch 2322 is connected in parallel with the first proximity switch 2312. When the slider 223 moves to the first proximity switch 2312, the first proximity switch 2312 closes, the second proximity switch 2322 opens, and the loudspeaker plays a prompt sound to remind the operator to perform the operation. When the slider moves to the second proximity switch 2322, the second proximity switch 2322 closes, the first proximity switch 2312 opens, and the loudspeaker plays a prompt sound to remind the operator to perform the operation. The alarm structure is designed to emit a prompt sound when the liquid level is too high or too low, reminding the operator to avoid problems such as adding too much cutting fluid or the liquid level being too low.

[0045] The difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the guide rail 212 has a length scale line, which is located on the side of the guide rail 212 away from the monitoring structure 23. This avoids the problem of the first mounting base 2311 and the second mounting base 2321 obstructing the length scale line. The setting of the length scale line makes it easier for operators to observe the specific position of the slider 223, thereby reading the liquid level height.

[0046] The glass cutting equipment uses the aforementioned cutting fluid reservoir. The equipment has a fluid supply line connected to the housing assembly 10. The first end of the fluid supply line is connected to the bottom of the housing assembly 10. An air inlet is located at the top of the housing assembly 10, connected to an air pump. The air pump introduces compressed gas into the housing assembly 10, allowing the cutting fluid to enter the fluid supply line under air pressure. The second end of the fluid supply line is connected to a nozzle, which sprays the cutting fluid onto the contact point between the cutting tool and the glass.

[0047] In summary, the cutting fluid reservoir of this application is mainly composed of a proximity switch mounting plate (first mounting base 2311 and second mounting base 2321), a connecting rod (connecting rod 222), a stainless steel float (float 221), an upper limit proximity switch, a lower limit proximity switch (first proximity switch 2312), a slider 223 (second proximity switch 2322), a limit nut (first limit part 224), and a limit nut (second limit part 225). The cutting fluid reservoir of this application has a simple structure, is easy to use, has no excessive redundant structural design, and possesses good durability, enabling it to be used for a long time without failure.
