Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass plate processing technology, and in particular to an air-floating glass plate cutting and processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass processing industry, glass cutting is a crucial process that directly impacts the quality and performance of the final product. With technological advancements and growing market demand, particularly for high-tech products such as electronic displays and optical lenses, traditional manual cutting methods can no longer meet the high standards of modern industrial production. This demand is reflected not only in the requirements for product quality but also in the need for increased production efficiency and economic benefits.
[0003] To address this challenge, the industry has adopted various technologies to improve the precision and efficiency of glass cutting. Common solutions include manual cutting using rulers and diamond cutting discs, semi-automatic cutting assisted by robotic arms or linear guides, and automated cutting using multi-axis linkage systems and advanced sensors. Each method has its own characteristics. Manual cutting is simple and inexpensive, but it relies heavily on the operator's experience and skills, making it difficult to guarantee consistent cutting precision. Semi-automatic cutting improves precision and efficiency to some extent, but still requires manual intervention for positioning and adjustment, and its complexity and lack of flexibility limit its application. Fully automatic cutting significantly improves precision and efficiency, but its high cost and complex maintenance requirements restrict its widespread adoption.
[0004] While the aforementioned technologies alleviate some of the shortcomings of traditional cutting methods, they still face some common drawbacks. The most prominent of these are inconsistent processing accuracy and low processing efficiency. Whether due to human error in manual cutting or frequent pauses and adjustments in semi-automatic cutting, both contribute to instability in overall processing time and quality. These problems are particularly pronounced in applications requiring extremely high dimensional accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to improve the processing efficiency of glass plate cutting, this application provides an air-floating glass plate cutting equipment.
[0006] The air-float type glass plate cutting and processing equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A glass plate cutting and processing equipment with air flotation includes a processing table. An air flotation component and a cutting component are mounted on the processing table. An air chamber is provided inside the processing table, and several air holes communicating with the air chamber are evenly distributed on the surface of the processing table. The air flotation component includes a diaphragm pump at the bottom of the processing table for switching suction modes, an air pipe connecting the diaphragm pump to the air chamber inside the processing table, and a solenoid valve mounted on the air pipe. Guide rails are provided on both sides of the processing table parallel to its length direction, and a cutting frame is slidably mounted on both guide rails. The cutting frame is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rails. The cutting component includes a rotary cylinder vertically mounted at the bottom of the cutting frame and a diamond cutting disc mounted at the bottom end of the piston rod of the rotary cylinder. The rotation axis of the diamond cutting disc is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rails. A positioning component for positioning the glass plate is also provided on the processing table.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, before processing, the glass plate is conveyed from the previous conveyor line to the processing table. When the glass plate needs to be moved, the diaphragm pump switches to blowing mode, suspending the glass plate and counteracting its weight and friction with the processing table. The operator can then easily move the glass plate to the positioning point for positioning. When the glass plate needs to be fixed for cutting, the diaphragm pump switches to suction mode, stably adhering the glass plate to the processing table. Then, guided by the guide rail and precisely controlled by the rotary cylinder, the diamond cutting disc accurately aligns and deeply cuts the glass plate. After cutting, the processing table switches from suction to blowing, suspending the glass plate, which can then be easily moved to the side wall of the processing table by the operator. Using the side wall, the last remaining connection between the waste material and the glass plate body can be easily broken off, completing the glass plate processing. Large glass sheets are heavy, and manual handling is wasteful. However, this air-floating glass sheet cutting and processing equipment can effectively overcome the difficulties of manually moving glass during the processing, reduce the resistance of glass sheet movement, improve positioning accuracy and stability, and also improve cutting efficiency and quality.
[0009] Optionally, the processing table is provided with a drive assembly for driving the cutting frame to slide. The drive assembly includes a lead screw rotatably mounted on the processing table and a drive motor for driving the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is arranged parallel to the guide rail, and the cutting frame is rotatably mounted on the lead screw via a thread.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor rotates the lead screw, enabling the cutting frame to move precisely and smoothly on the guide rail. This design not only improves cutting accuracy and stability but also significantly increases cutting efficiency. Furthermore, since the movement of the cutting frame is driven by a motor, the uncertainties and errors caused by human operation are avoided, further ensuring the consistency of cutting quality.
[0011] Optionally, a drive block is slidably mounted on the cutting frame, the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder is connected to the bottom wall of the drive block, a rack is connected to one side of the cutting frame, the rack is arranged parallel to the length direction of the cutting frame and its tooth tips are set towards the cutting frame, a gear that meshes with the rack is rotatably mounted on the drive block, and a servo motor that drives the gear to rotate is mounted on the drive block.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor drives the gear to rotate. Due to the meshing arrangement between the gear and the rack, the drive block can move precisely on the cutting frame, thereby adjusting the feed position of the diamond cutting disc. This design improves cutting accuracy while reducing the time and error of manual adjustment, thus enhancing overall processing efficiency.
[0013] Optionally, the top of the cutting frame is provided with a scale mark along its own length, and the scale mark is located on the side of the cutting frame opposite to the rack.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the scale markings allow operators to intuitively and accurately read the cutting position of the diamond cutting disc, reducing repetitive work caused by positional errors and further improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the scale markings are located on the side of the cutting frame away from the rack, avoiding interference with the rack and ensuring accurate readings.
[0015] Optionally, the positioning element is an L-shaped positioning strip, with one corner of the glass plate abutting against the inner right-angle side of the positioning strip.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this air-floating glass plate cutting and processing equipment uses an L-shaped positioning bar, which allows one corner of the glass plate to abut against the inner right-angled side of the positioning bar, thereby achieving fast and accurate positioning. This design simplifies the operation process, reduces errors caused by human factors, and improves the precision and consistency of glass plate cutting.
[0017] Optionally, the processing table is provided with a through hole for the positioning strip to be raised and lowered. The positioning strip slides vertically through the processing table. The bottom of the processing table is provided with an ejector cylinder. The top end of the piston rod of the ejector cylinder is connected to the positioning strip. When the piston rod of the ejector cylinder retracts, the top wall of the positioning strip is flush with the surface of the processing table.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the positioning function is not needed, the positioning bar can be retracted to the bottom of the processing table by the ejector cylinder, avoiding interference with subsequent processes and improving the overall working efficiency and safety of the equipment.
[0019] Optionally, the processing table is provided with a retractable limiting plate, and the end of the limiting plate is provided with a plug rod that engages with the air hole. The limiting plate limits the glass plate on the processing table.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate, through the insertion rod that engages with the air hole, can effectively wrap around the edge of the glass plate, enhancing the stability of the limiting plate and preventing its movement or displacement during the cutting process, thus ensuring cutting accuracy. Simultaneously, the limiting plate has a telescopic function, allowing adjustment according to different glass plate sizes, adapting to various product specifications, and improving the equipment's versatility and flexibility.
[0021] Optionally, the limiting plate is provided with a handle for easy lifting.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle design allows operators to quickly insert and remove the limiting plate, thereby avoiding interference from the limiting plate during the movement of the glass plate.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. Before processing, the glass plate is conveyed from the previous conveyor line to the processing table. When the glass plate needs to be moved, the diaphragm pump switches to blowing mode, suspending the glass plate and counteracting its weight and friction with the processing table. The operator can then easily move the glass plate to the positioning point. When the glass plate needs to be fixed for cutting, the diaphragm pump switches to suction mode, stably holding the glass plate on the processing table. Guided by the guide rails and precisely controlled by the rotary cylinder, the diamond cutting disc accurately aligns and deeply cuts the glass plate. After cutting, the processing table switches from suction to blowing, suspending the glass plate, allowing the operator to easily move it to the side wall of the processing table. Using the side wall, the operator can easily break off the last remaining connection between the waste material and the glass plate, completing the glass plate processing. Large glass sheets are heavy, and manual handling is wasteful. However, this air-floating glass sheet cutting and processing equipment can effectively overcome the difficulties of manually moving glass during the processing, reduce the movement resistance of the glass sheet, improve positioning accuracy and stability, and also improve cutting efficiency and quality.
[0025] 2. The drive motor rotates the lead screw, enabling the cutting frame to move precisely and smoothly on the guide rail. This design not only improves cutting accuracy and stability but also significantly increases cutting efficiency. Furthermore, since the movement of the cutting frame is driven by a motor, it avoids the uncertainties and errors caused by human operation, further ensuring consistent cutting quality.
[0026] 3. A servo motor drives the gears to rotate. The meshing between the gears and rack allows the drive block to move precisely on the cutting frame, thereby adjusting the feed position of the diamond cutting disc. This design improves cutting accuracy while reducing manual adjustment time and errors, thus enhancing overall processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses an air-float type glass plate cutting and processing equipment.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A glass plate cutting and processing equipment based on air flotation includes a processing table 1, on which an air flotation component 2, a positioning component 3, and a cutting component 4 are disposed. An air cavity 11 is disposed within the processing table 1, and a plurality of air holes 12 communicating with the air cavity 11 are evenly distributed on the surface of the processing table 1. The air flotation component 2 is connected to the air cavity 11. Guide rails 5 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the processing table 1 parallel to its length direction. A cutting frame 6 is slidably disposed on both guide rails 5, and the cutting frame 6 is disposed perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rails 5. The cutting component 4 is disposed on the cutting frame 6.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Before processing, glass plate 01 is conveyed from the previous conveyor line to the processing table 1. When glass plate 01 needs to be moved, the air flotation component 2 switches to blowing mode, suspending glass plate 01 and counteracting its weight and friction with the processing table 1. The operator can then easily move glass plate 01 to the positioning component 3 for positioning. When glass plate 01 needs to be fixed for cutting, the air flotation component 2 switches to suction mode, stably adsorbing glass plate 01 onto the processing table 1. Then, guided by the guide rail 5, the cutting component 4 can accurately align and deeply cut glass plate 01. After cutting, the processing table 1 switches from suction to blowing, suspending glass plate 01, which can then be easily moved to the side wall of the processing table 1 by the operator. Using the side wall of the processing table 1, the last remaining connection between the waste material and the glass plate 01 body can be easily broken off, completing the processing of glass plate 01.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 The air flotation component 2 includes a diaphragm pump 21, an air pipe 22, and a solenoid valve 23. The diaphragm pump 21 is located at the bottom of the processing table 1. The air pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the air chamber 11 of the processing table 1 and the connection between the processing table 1 and the air pipe 22 is fixedly provided with a filter screen 221. The solenoid valve 23 is installed on the air pipe 22.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning element 3 is an L-shaped positioning strip. One corner of the glass plate 01 abuts against the inner right-angle side of the positioning strip. A through hole 13 is vertically opened on the processing table 1. The positioning strip and the through hole 13 slide vertically together. An ejector cylinder 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the processing table 1. The top end of the piston rod of the ejector cylinder 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning strip. When the piston rod of the ejector cylinder 14 retracts, the top wall of the positioning strip is flush with the surface of the processing table 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A retractable limiting plate 7 is provided on the processing table 1, and a handle 71 is fixedly provided on the top of the limiting plate 7. Insert rods 72 are fixedly provided on the bottom of both ends of the limiting plate 7. Each insert rod 72 is inserted into and cooperates with a single air hole 12, and limits the glass plate 01 on the processing table 1.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 The processing table 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 8, which is used to drive the cutting frame 6 to slide on the guide rail 5. The drive assembly 8 includes a lead screw 81 and a drive motor 82. The lead screw 81 is parallel to the guide rail 5 and is rotatably mounted on the guide rail 5. The cutting frame 6 is rotatably mounted on the lead screw 81 by a thread. The drive motor 82 is fixedly mounted on the processing table 1, and its output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the lead screw 81.
[0039] Reference Figure 1and Figure 2 A drive block 61 is slidably mounted on the cutting frame 6, and the cutting assembly 4 includes a rotary cylinder 41 and a diamond cutting disc 42. The cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 41 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the drive block 61, and the diamond cutting disc 42 is mounted on the bottom end of the piston rod of the rotary cylinder 41, with the rotation axis of the diamond cutting disc perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail 5. A rack 62 is fixedly mounted on one side of the cutting frame 6, and the rack 62 is parallel to the length direction of the cutting frame 6, with its tooth tips facing the cutting frame 6. A gear 611 that meshes with the rack 62 is rotatably mounted on the drive block 61, and a servo motor 612 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the drive block 61, with its output shaft rotatably passing through the drive block 61 and coaxially fixedly connected to the shaft of the gear 611.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 In order to enable operators to read the cutting position of the diamond cutting disc 42 intuitively and accurately, the top wall of the cutting frame 6 is electroplated with scale markings 9 along its own length, and the scale markings 9 are located on the side of the cutting frame 6 away from the rack 62.
[0041] The implementation principle of the air-floating glass plate cutting and processing equipment in this application embodiment is as follows: Before processing, the glass plate 01 is conveyed from the previous conveyor line to the processing table 1. When it is necessary to move the glass plate 01, the diaphragm pump 21 switches to the blowing mode to suspend the glass plate 01, which counteracts the gravity of the glass plate 01 and the frictional force between it and the processing table 1. The operator can then easily move the glass plate 01 to the positioning strip for positioning. When it is necessary to fix the glass plate 01 for cutting, the diaphragm pump 21 switches to the suction mode to stably adsorb the glass plate 01 onto the processing table 1.
[0042] During processing, driven by the servo motor 612, the meshing transmission of the gear 611 and rack 62 drives the drive block 61 to slide on the cutting frame 6 until the diamond cutting disc 42 is precisely moved to the preset cutting position. Guided by the lead screw 81 and guide rail 5, the glass plate 01 is precisely cut. After the cutting is completed, the processing table 1 changes from suction to blowing, and the glass plate 01 is suspended. It can then be easily moved to the side wall of the processing table 1 by the operator. With the help of the side wall of the processing table 1, the last remaining connection between the waste material and the glass plate 01 body can be easily broken off, completing the processing of the glass plate 01.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
