Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0030] As shown in Figures 1-6 A kind of water jet cutting machine for flat glass processing on-line automatic positioning device, comprising:
[0031] Base frame 1, in this example, base frame 1 is assembled into frame structure using aluminum alloy section;
[0032] Conveying mechanism 2 is installed on base frame 1, and is set to convey flat glass along horizontal X axis direction, wherein conveying mechanism 2 includes a plurality of rotatable installation on the upper portion of base frame 1 and evenly arranged rotating shaft 201, a plurality of interval arranged conveying wheels 202 are installed on rotating shaft 201, the high point of each conveying wheel 202 is located in the same horizontal plane, flat glass is placed on conveying wheel 202, when rotating shaft 201 rotates, flat glass can be conveyed by conveying wheel 202;The rotation of rotating shaft 201 can be realized by the way of belt pulley transmission, which will not be described in detail here;
[0033] The material blocking cylinder 4 is installed at one end of the base frame 1 and can be placed on the movement path of the flat glass when the telescopic rod is extended. In this case, the telescopic rod of the material blocking cylinder 4 is arranged in the vertical direction, and there are three material blocking cylinders 4. When the flat glass moves to the position of the material blocking cylinder 4, the telescopic rod of the material blocking cylinder 4 is extended, so as to be in contact with the end of the glass, thereby achieving the limiting work of the glass.
[0034] The material blocking plate 5 is fixed at one side of the base frame 1 and can be in contact with the side surface of the flat glass when the flat glass moves along the Y-axis direction. In this case, the number of material blocking plates 5 is two, and in other embodiments, the number of material blocking plates 5 can be different according to the size of the glass.
[0035] The support plate 6 is reversibly arranged below the material blocking plate 5. When the support plate 6 is in a horizontal state, the upper surface of the support plate 6 is attached to the lower surface of the material blocking plate 5, and the support plate 6 extends to the outside of the material blocking plate 5. The two sides of the support plate 6 are connected with the swing rod 12, which is connected with the rotating rod 8 installed on the base frame 1 and can rotate. The rotating rod 8 is installed on the base frame 1 through a bearing seat. When the rotating rod 8 rotates, it can drive the swing rod 12 and the support plate 6 to reverse. Specifically, the end of the reversing rod 9 is connected with the reversing cylinder 10 for driving the swing of the reversing rod 9. The end of the telescopic rod of the reversing cylinder 10 is connected with the reversing rod 9 through a hinged manner. The lower end of the reversing cylinder 10 is connected with a mounting seat 11 through a hinged manner. The mounting seat 11 is fixed on the bed body 13 of the water jet cutting.
[0036] In the initial state, the support plate 6 is arranged horizontally. When the glass moves towards the material blocking plate 5, the lower surface of the glass can be in contact with the surface of the support plate 6, so as to effectively support the edge position of the glass by the support plate 6, thereby facilitating the close contact between the side surface of the glass and the material blocking plate 5, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the glass. On the other hand, after the positioning work of the glass is completed, the high-speed water jet starts to cut the glass. In order to prevent the high-speed water jet from cutting the support plate 6 and affecting the cutting effect of the glass, the reversing cylinder 10 is started to drive the reversing rod 9, the rotating rod 8 and the swing rod 12 to swing, and finally drive the support plate 6 to reverse downward along the center of the rotating rod 8, so as to prevent the water jet from cutting the support plate 6.
[0037] Specifically, it also includes a first pushing mechanism 3 which is arranged on the other side of the base frame 1 away from the material blocking plate 5 and is arranged to push the flat glass towards the material blocking plate 5. In this case, the first pushing mechanism 3 includes a first pushing cylinder 301 installed on the base frame 1, and the end of the telescopic rod of the first pushing cylinder 301 is provided with a first pushing block 302.
[0038] Specifically, the second pushing mechanism 7 is installed on the same side of the blocking plate 5, and is arranged to push the flat glass away from the blocking plate 5.
[0039] The first pushing cylinder 301 and the second pushing cylinder 701 can be arranged in plurality according to actual requirements, for smoothly pushing the glass and preventing the glass from being inclined when moving.
[0040] In order to improve the automatic positioning effect of the online automatic positioning device, a position monitoring sensor such as a photoelectric sensor or a laser position sensor can be arranged at the end of the X-axis on the base frame and near the blocking plate, for monitoring the position of the glass after the glass reaches the specified position, and combining the PLC control system to control the cylinders to work according to the program.
[0041] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
