Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a drilling device for glass processing. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with the addition of a small amount of auxiliary materials. It is widely used in buildings and decorations. Glass beads, as a type of glass ornament, require the glass to first be processed into glass spheres, then holes are drilled into the spheres, and finally the spheres are strung together with rope or other materials. They are commonly used for door and window decorations and lighting fixtures.

[0003] Glass spheres are generally spherical with smooth surfaces. Existing drilling devices for glass processing often fail to hold the spheres securely in place. When the drill bit contacts the surface of the glass sphere, the sphere tends to shift, causing drilling errors that affect the sphere's appearance and usability. Therefore, we propose a new drilling device for glass processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a drilling device for glass processing to solve the technical problem that the existing drilling devices for glass processing are difficult to fix glass balls.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drilling device for glass processing is designed, including a drilling equipment, the drilling equipment including a workbench, a support plate provided at both ends of the workbench surface, an adjustment mechanism provided on the support plate, a drilling machine provided at the end of the adjustment mechanism, a water pipe provided on one side of the drilling machine, and a fixing mechanism provided, the fixing mechanism being provided on the workbench surface;

[0006] The fixing mechanism includes a sleeve, a tray, and a cylinder. The sleeve is located below the drilling machine. The upper end of the sleeve has a frustum-shaped cavity structure with a smaller upper opening and a larger lower opening. A positioning drill hole is opened at the top of the frustum-shaped cavity. A feed hole and a discharge hole are opened on both sides of the sleeve, respectively. The tray is located in the inner cavity of the sleeve and is shaped like a bowl with the edges gradually concave towards the center. The outer wall of the top of the tray is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve. The cylinder is located at the bottom of the tray. The piston rod of the cylinder extends upward to drive the tray to move upward, so that the surface of the tray and the inner wall of the frustum-shaped cavity form a clamping cavity for holding the glass ball.

[0007] Preferably, two support rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the tray, and the cylinder output end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two support rods through a connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, a through slot is provided on one side of the tray, a top block adapted to the through slot is provided between the two support rods, and an arc-shaped baffle is provided on the side of the tray opposite to the feed hole, and the outer wall of the baffle is connected to the inner wall of one side of the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the top block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve relative to the bottom of the discharge hole, and the side of the top block relative to the discharge hole is an arc surface that gradually decreases in height towards the discharge hole.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the feed hole is curved and enlarged towards the sleeve, and the feed hole is fixedly connected to a feed pipe.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the feed pipe is inclined upward and passes through the middle of the support plate and is fixedly connected to a material bucket, and the material bucket is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate through a mounting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the discharge hole is fixedly connected to a downwardly inclined discharge pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The fixing mechanism of this utility model places the glass ball into the tray inside the sleeve through the feed hole. The cylinder drives the tray and the glass ball to rise to the top of the sleeve, so that the glass ball is clamped in the clamping cavity between the tray and the frustum cavity. After the glass ball is clamped, the diameter of the glass ball is the maximum distance between the center of the tray and the bottom wall of the positioning drill hole. Therefore, when the drill bit of the drilling machine passes through the drill hole to drill the glass ball, the glass ball will not shift to the left or right, ensuring the stability of the glass ball during the drilling process.

[0015] 2. The top block of this utility model, after drilling, drives the tray to the bottom of the discharge hole via a cylinder. The top block will then pass through the slot, lifting the drilled glass ball. Since the side of the top block relative to the discharge hole is an arc surface that gradually decreases in height towards the discharge hole, the glass ball will roll down the arc surface of the top block to the discharge hole. The drilled glass ball will enter the discharge pipe through the discharge hole and roll to the outside. At the same time, when the tray descends to the bottom of the discharge hole, the baffle descends, exposing the feed hole. The next glass ball to be drilled will enter between the feed hole and the top block. The cylinder drives the tray to rise, and the top block gradually descends. The un-drilled glass ball will fall onto the tray and be transported by the tray to the top of the sleeve for drilling. At the same time, the baffle will block the feed hole. This process is repeated to facilitate continuous drilling of a large number of glass balls and improve processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] Example:

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a drilling device for glass processing, including a drilling device 1 and a fixing mechanism 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the drilling device 1 is a commercially available drilling device for glass processing. The drilling device 1 includes a worktable 101, and support plates 102 are provided at both ends of the worktable 101. An adjustment mechanism 103 is provided on the support plates 102.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, and specifically with Figure 1 With the orientation as a reference, the adjustment mechanism 103 in this embodiment is a prior art three-axis adjustment technology, mainly including a Z-axis adjustment device set on the support plate 102 in the two Z-axis directions, a lateral adjustment device set in the X-axis direction and at the output end of the Z-axis adjustment device, and a longitudinal adjustment device set in the Y-axis direction and at the output end of the lateral adjustment device. The drilling machine 104 is installed at the output end of the longitudinal adjustment device. The drilling machine 104 is a glass ball drilling machine commonly used in the prior art, and a water pipe 105 is provided on one side of the drilling machine 104. Furthermore, the Z-axis adjustment device, lateral adjustment device and longitudinal adjustment device in this embodiment are all common ball screw moving mechanisms on the market. The adjustment mechanism 103 is used to adjust the position of the drilling machine 104, and the water pipe 105 is used to cool the drill bit and reduce dust during the drilling process.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism 2 is located on the workbench 101.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a sleeve 201, a tray 202, and a cylinder 203. The bottom of the sleeve 201 is fixedly connected to the workbench 101. The upper end of the sleeve 201 has a frustum-shaped cavity structure with a small upper opening and a large lower opening. A positioning drill hole 2011 is provided on the top of the frustum-shaped cavity. A feed hole 2012 and a discharge hole 2013 are provided on both sides of the sleeve 201. The tray 202 is placed in the inner cavity of the sleeve 201. The tray 202 is shaped like a bowl with the edge gradually concave towards the center. The outer wall of the top of the tray 202 is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 201. The cylinder 203 is located at the bottom of the tray 202. The piston rod of the cylinder 203 extends upward to drive the tray 202 to move upward, causing the surface of the tray 202 to form a clamping cavity with the inner wall of the frustum-shaped cavity for clamping the glass ball. A glass ball is fed into the sleeve 201 through the feed hole 2012 and falls into the tray 202. The external control mechanism drives the cylinder 203 to lift the tray 202 and the glass ball to the top of the sleeve 201, so that the glass ball is clamped in the space of the inner cavity of the top of the tray 202 and the sleeve 201. The top of the sleeve 201 has a trapezoidal cross-section. After the glass ball is clamped, the diameter of the glass ball is the maximum distance between the top of the tray 202 and the sleeve 201. Therefore, when the drill bit of the drilling machine 104 drills the glass ball through the positioning drill hole 2011, the glass ball will not shift to the left or right.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, two support rods 204 are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the tray 202. The output end of the cylinder 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two support rods 204 through a connecting rod. The output end of the cylinder 203 drives the two support rods 204 to rise and fall through the connecting rod, thereby driving the tray 202 to rise and fall.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a through slot 2021 is provided on one side of the tray 202, and a top block 205 adapted to the through slot 2021 is provided between the two support rods 204. A curved baffle 206 is provided on the side of the tray 202 opposite to the feed hole 2012, and the outer wall of the baffle 206 is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 201. When the tray 202 is above the feed hole 2012, the baffle 206 will block the feed hole 2012. When the tray 202 descends to the bottom of the discharge hole 2013, the top block 205 will pass through the through slot 2021.

[0029] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, one end of the top block 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 201 relative to the bottom of the discharge hole 2013, and the side of the top block 205 relative to the discharge hole 2013 is an arc surface with a gradually decreasing height towards the top block 205. When the top block 205 passes through the through groove 2021, it will lift the glass ball with the drilled hole. Since the side of the top block 205 relative to the discharge hole 2013 is an arc surface with a gradually decreasing height towards the discharge hole 2013, the glass ball will roll down along the arc surface of the top block 205 to the discharge hole 2013.

[0030] It is worth noting that, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the top of the feed hole 2012 is curved and enlarged towards the sleeve 201, and the feed hole 2012 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 207. When the top block 205 is protruding, the baffle 206 falls to the bottom of the feed hole 2012. The un-drilled glass ball will be between the top block 205 and the feed hole 2012. When the tray 202 rises, the top block 205 gradually descends, and the un-drilled glass ball will fall onto the tray 202 and be transported by the tray 202 to the sleeve 201 for drilling.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the feed pipe 207 is inclined upward and passes through the middle of the support plate 102 and is fixedly connected to the material bucket 208. The material bucket 208 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 102 through the mounting plate. The glass ball without drilling is placed in the material bucket 208, and the glass ball without drilling enters the feed pipe 207 from the bottom of the material bucket 208 and rolls down to the feed hole 2012.

[0032] It is worth emphasizing that, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the discharge hole 2013 is fixedly connected to a downwardly inclined discharge pipe 209. The glass ball with the hole drilled will enter the discharge pipe 209 through the discharge hole 2013 and roll to the outside.

[0033] Working Principle: In use, the external control mechanism drives the cylinder 203 to move, and the support rod 204 moves the top of the tray 202 to the bottom of the feed hole 2012. The top block 205 extends out of the through slot 2021, and the glass ball to be drilled is placed in the material bucket 208. The glass ball to be drilled enters the feed pipe 207 from the bottom of the material bucket 208 and rolls down between the feed hole 2012 and the top block 205. The external control mechanism drives the cylinder 203 to raise the tray 202 via the support rod 204, and the top block 205 gradually descends. The un-drilled glass ball falls onto the tray 202 and is transported by the tray 202 to the top of the sleeve 201. At this time, the baffle 206 blocks the feed hole 2012, clamping the glass ball in the space between the tray 202 and the top cavity of the sleeve 201. The external control mechanism drives the adjusting mechanism 103 to adjust the position of the drilling machine 104. An external control mechanism drives the drilling machine 104 to drill a hole in the glass ball by passing through the positioning hole 2011. After drilling, the external control mechanism drives the cylinder 203 to lower the tray 202 to the bottom of the discharge hole 2013. The top block 205 will pass through the slot 2021 and lift the drilled glass ball. Since the side of the top block 205 relative to the discharge hole 2013 is an arc surface with a gradually decreasing height towards the discharge hole 2013, the glass ball will roll down the arc surface of the top block 205 to the discharge hole 2013. The drilled glass ball will enter the discharge pipe 209 from the discharge hole 2013 and roll to the outside. At the same time, when the tray 202 descends to the bottom of the discharge hole 2013, the baffle 206 descends, exposing the feed hole 2012. The next glass ball to be drilled will enter between the feed hole 2012 and the top block 205. Repeating the above operation, a large number of glass balls can be continuously drilled.

[0034] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
