Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, specifically a laser glass edging and drilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main methods for glass drilling on the market are waterjet cutting, CNC milling, and water drilling. These methods generally suffer from significant edge chipping, and many irregularly shaped holes cannot be processed due to mechanical and tool limitations, resulting in poor adaptability. Furthermore, if edge grinding is required after drilling, it must be done on a separate machine, requiring re-clamping and reprocessing, which lengthens the processing time and leads to low efficiency. Cutting glass generates glass particles, dust, and waste edges. Existing equipment typically only removes dust from above, while particles and waste edges require manual cleaning, which is cumbersome. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a laser glass edge grinding and drilling machine to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a laser glass edging and drilling machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A laser glass edging and drilling machine includes a chassis. A dust extraction pipe is installed inside the center of the chassis, and a drain pipe is installed below the center of the rear side of the chassis. A pair of Y-axis linear guides are installed inside both sides of the chassis, and a transmission screw is installed between the Y-axis linear guides. A left Y-axis moving worktable and a right Y-axis moving worktable, driven by the transmission screw, are installed above the Y-axis linear guides. Flexible hoses connect the left and right Y-axis moving worktables to the dust extraction pipe. Glass pieces to be processed are placed on top of both the worktable and the right Y-axis moving worktable. An X-axis crossbeam is installed above the center of the chassis. A front moving mechanism and a rear moving mechanism are installed in front of and behind the X-axis crossbeam, respectively. The front moving mechanism and the rear moving mechanism have the same structure, including an L-shaped plate. A geared motor with a vertically downward rotating shaft is installed above the L-shaped plate. The speed of the geared motor is connected to a gear. A Z-axis module is installed on the side of the L-shaped plate. A laser marking head is installed in front of the front moving mechanism. A laser marking host is installed above the front moving mechanism. A glass milling machine is installed behind the rear moving mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the middle position at the rear of the chassis bottom surface is lower than the front and sides, and the drain pipe is installed at the lowest point of the rear side, so that the liquid in the chassis can be automatically concentrated at the rear and discharged from the drain pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the outer end of the suction pipe is fixed to the rear of the chassis and connected to the vacuum cleaner, and the inner end of the suction pipe is T-shaped and has a butterfly valve inside that is controlled to open and close by a cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the left Y-axis moving worktable and the right Y-axis moving worktable have the same structure, including a base plate. A screw nut connected to the transmission screw by threads is installed in the middle position below the base plate. A perforated inclined plate forming a cavity with the base plate is installed above the base plate. An air duct communicating with the cavity is installed on one side of the base plate. A horizontally installed aluminum profile is set above the perforated inclined plate. The glass to be processed is placed on the aluminum profile. The air duct is connected to the dust suction pipe through a hose.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the X-axis beam is equipped with an X-axis top linear guide and an X-axis rack, and the front and rear of the X-axis beam are equipped with X-axis side linear guides. The L-shaped plate is connected to the X-axis side linear guide and the X-axis top linear guide through a slider, so that the moving mechanism can slide left and right. The gear meshes with the X-axis rack, so that the moving mechanism can be driven by a geared motor.

[0011] Preferably, the laser marking head and the glass milling machine are mounted on the Z-axis module, and the height of the laser marking head and the glass milling machine can be changed when the Z-axis module is working.

[0012] This utility model provides a laser glass edging and drilling machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This laser glass edging and drilling machine, through the setting of the laser marking head, has a strong adaptability. Since laser cutting does not require the cutting head to directly contact the glass, the cutting path is not limited by the size of the cutting head or the direction of the cutting edge, and various irregular shapes can be cut. Because the laser energy is stable and there is almost no interaction force during cutting, the cut is flat and not easy to break. Therefore, it can perform various complex pattern processing with good cutting effect and strong adaptability.

[0014] 2. This laser glass edging and drilling machine, through the coordinated setup of a Y-axis moving worktable, a moving mechanism, a laser marking head, and a glass milling machine, achieves high processing efficiency. Two moving mechanisms transport the laser marking head and the glass milling machine between two Y-axis moving worktables, allowing a single piece of glass to be clamped once on one Y-axis moving worktable for sequential drilling and edging. Furthermore, the laser marking head and the glass milling machine can operate simultaneously on the two Y-axis moving worktables, resulting in high processing efficiency as two pieces of glass can be processed alternately.

[0015] 3. This laser glass edging and drilling machine, through the setting of the Y-axis moving worktable, enables it to automatically clean glass particles, dust, and waste edges simultaneously. Because there is a multi-hole inclined plate with air extraction under the Y-axis moving worktable where the glass is placed, the dust generated during processing can be sucked away from below. The glass particles generated during processing fall from the multi-hole inclined plate into the cavity below for temporary storage and then cleaned up. The glass waste edges generated during processing fall onto the multi-hole inclined plate and automatically slide into the chassis for temporary storage and then cleaned up. Therefore, it can automatically clean glass particles, dust, and waste edges, keeping the worktable where the glass is placed clean without the need for manual cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides a technical solution: a laser glass edging and drilling machine, including a chassis 1. The chassis 1 is shaped like a rectangular box with a sealed bottom and an open top. A suction pipe 2 is installed inside the middle of the chassis 1. The outer end of the suction pipe 2 is fixed to the rear of the chassis 1 and connected to a vacuum cleaner. The inner end of the suction pipe 2 is T-shaped and has a butterfly valve controlled by a cylinder. When the vacuum cleaner is working and the butterfly valve is opened, the suction pipe 2 can suck away the dust and debris generated during glass processing inside the chassis 1. A drain pipe 3 is installed below the middle of the rear side of the chassis 1. The middle of the rear side of the chassis 1 is lower than the front and sides. The drain pipe 3 is installed at the lowest point of the rear side. Liquid inside the chassis 1 can automatically collect at the rear and drain out through the drain pipe 3. The main function is to drain coolant. A pair of Y-axis linear guides 4 are installed inside both sides of the chassis 1. A transmission screw 5 is installed between the Y-axis linear guides 4. Both the transmission screw 5 and the Y-axis linear guides 4 require waterproof splash protection, specifically by covering them with a cover. Above the Y-axis linear guides 4 are a left Y-axis moving worktable 6a and a right Y-axis moving worktable 6b, driven by the transmission screw 5. A flexible hose 7 connects the left Y-axis moving worktable 6a and the right Y-axis moving worktable 6b to the dust suction pipe 2. Glass 8 to be processed is placed above both the left Y-axis moving worktable 6a and the right Y-axis moving worktable 6b. The left Y-axis moving worktable 6a and the right Y-axis moving worktable 6b have the same structure, including a base plate 601. The middle section below the base plate 601... A screw nut 602 connected to the transmission screw 5 via threads is installed at the position. A perforated inclined plate 603 forming a cavity with the base plate 601 is installed above it. An air duct 604 communicating with the cavity is installed on one side of the base plate 601. A horizontally installed aluminum profile 605 is set above the perforated inclined plate 603. The glass to be processed 8 is placed on the aluminum profile 605. The air duct 604 is connected to the dust suction pipe 2 via a hose 7. The dust generated during processing is sucked away from the bottom of the perforated inclined plate 603. The waste generated during processing falls down onto the perforated inclined plate 603 and automatically slides into the chassis 1 for unified cleaning. An X-axis crossbeam 9 is installed above the middle position of the chassis 1. A front moving mechanism 10a and a rear moving mechanism 10b are installed at the front and rear of the X-axis crossbeam 9, respectively. The moving mechanism 10a and the rear moving mechanism 10b have the same structure, including an L-shaped plate 1001. A geared motor 1002 with a vertically downward rotating shaft is mounted on top of the L-shaped plate 1001. The speed of the geared motor 1002 is connected to a gear 1003. A Z-axis module 1004 is mounted on the side of the L-shaped plate 1001. An X-axis top linear guide 901 and an X-axis rack 902 are mounted on the top surface of the X-axis beam 9. X-axis side linear guides 903 are mounted on both the front and rear of the X-axis beam 9. The L-shaped plate 1001 is connected to the X-axis side linear guides 903 and the X-axis top linear guide 901 via a slider, allowing the moving mechanism to slide left and right. The gear 1003 meshes with the X-axis rack 902, allowing the moving mechanism to be driven by the geared motor 1002.A laser marking head 11 is mounted in front of the front moving mechanism 10a, and a laser marking host 12 is mounted above the front moving mechanism 10a. A glass milling machine 13 is mounted behind the rear moving mechanism 10b. The laser marking head 11 and the glass milling machine 13 are mounted on the Z-axis module 1004. When the Z-axis module 1004 is working, the height of the laser marking head 11 and the glass milling machine 13 can be changed. Through the cooperation of the X-axis crossbeam 9 and the rear moving mechanism, the laser marking head 11 and the glass milling machine 13 can be driven to move left, right, up, and down, so as to realize dual-station operation and improve efficiency.

[0027] In operation, two pieces of glass 8 to be processed are first placed simultaneously on the left Y-axis moving stage 6a and the right Y-axis moving stage 6b, respectively. Then, the forward moving mechanism 10a drives the laser marking head 11 to move above one of the pieces of glass 8 for cutting. During the cutting process, the suction pipe 2 also works simultaneously, sucking away the dust generated during cutting. A small amount of debris may also be generated during the cutting process, which will automatically fall onto the perforated inclined plate 603. Due to the small size of the debris, it will fall through the holes in the perforated inclined plate 603 and... The waste edges are temporarily stored in the cavity between the base plates 601. They only need to be cleaned periodically with high-pressure water, typically once every one to two months. Waste edges generated during the cutting process automatically fall onto the perforated inclined plate 603. Due to the large size of the waste edges, they will not fall through the holes in the perforated inclined plate 603. However, because the perforated inclined plate 603 is tilted to one side and the glass surface is relatively smooth, the waste edges will automatically slide into the base plate 1 under their own gravity for temporary storage. They only need to be cleaned periodically later. The frequency of cleaning depends on the size of the waste edges and the processing output. Every few days, after one piece of glass is cut, the front moving mechanism 10a drives the laser marking head 11 to move above another piece of glass 8 to be processed for cutting. At the same time, the rear moving mechanism 10b drives the glass milling machine 13 to move above the just-processed glass to grind the cut edges. At this time, drilling and grinding are performed simultaneously, and grinding does not require moving the glass for secondary positioning, thus greatly improving production efficiency. After one piece of glass is ground, the rear moving mechanism 10b drives the glass milling machine 13 away from that glass, and then the worker takes out the processed glass. Then, a new piece of glass is placed on top. Since the Y-axis moving worktable can automatically clean up the particles, dust, and waste edges generated during glass processing, it is also very convenient to replace the new glass. After the new glass is installed, if another piece of glass has also been drilled, the laser marking head 11 will come over to process the newly installed glass. At the same time, the glass milling machine 13 will grind the edge of that piece of glass. Thus, the two workstations alternate back and forth to drill and grind simultaneously, which greatly improves the processing efficiency. During the grinding process, lubricant needs to be sprayed as needed. The linear guide rail and lead screw that may be splashed with water need to be covered with waterproof covers.

[0028] In summary, this laser glass edging and drilling machine, because laser cutting does not require the cutting head to directly contact the glass, allows for cutting paths that are not limited by the size or direction of the cutting head, enabling the cutting of various irregular shapes. Due to the stable laser energy and almost no interaction forces during cutting, the cut is smooth and less prone to chipping, thus allowing for the processing of various complex patterns with excellent cutting results and strong adaptability. Two moving mechanisms transport the laser marking head 11 and the glass milling machine 13 between two Y-axis moving worktables, allowing a single piece of glass to be clamped only once on one Y-axis moving worktable for sequential drilling and edging. Furthermore, the laser marking head 11... The glass milling machine 13 can operate simultaneously on two Y-axis moving worktables. Since it can process two pieces of glass at the same time, the processing efficiency is high. Because there is a perforated inclined plate 603 with air extraction under the Y-axis moving worktable where the glass is placed, the dust generated during processing can be sucked away from below. The glass particles generated during processing fall from the perforated inclined plate 603 into the cavity below for temporary storage and then cleaned up. The glass waste edges generated during processing fall onto the perforated inclined plate 603 and then automatically slide into the chassis 1 for temporary storage and then cleaned up. Therefore, the glass particles, dust and waste edges can be automatically cleaned up, keeping the worktable where the glass is placed clean without the need for manual cleaning.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
