Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of special glass processing equipment, and in particular to an automated equipment for cutting and processing tempered glass. Background Technology

[0002] Once glass has been tempered, it cannot be cut. If tempered glass needs to be divided, it must be heated to over 600 degrees Celsius to eliminate internal stress and become ordinary glass before it can be cut. Since the glass to be divided is usually quite large, the heating equipment required will be large and the energy consumption will be high. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a more energy-efficient automated equipment for cutting and processing tempered glass.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an automated tempered glass cutting and processing equipment: It includes a lower support plate, with a lower slot formed on the upper surface of the lower support plate and a dividing channel communicating with the lower slot on the bottom surface of the lower support plate. A lower heating plate, parallel to the dividing channel, is disposed at the inner bottom of the lower slot on the lower support plate. Upper pressure plates are movably connected to both ends of the lower support plate via lifting devices. A cooling chamber is disposed on the upper surface of the upper pressure plate, and an overflow port communicating with the interior of the cooling chamber is disposed on the lower surface of the upper pressure plate, suitable for allowing coolant to flow out. A guide frame is also disposed below the lower support plate, and a movable cutting assembly is disposed on the guide frame. The cutting assembly includes a slide that cooperates with the guide frame, and a flowing blade is fixed on the slide, suitable for cutting through the dividing channel to remove the internal stress of the glass portion, heating only the area near the dividing line, effectively reducing heating energy consumption.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the length of the dividing channel is greater than the length of the lower retaining groove, both ends of the dividing channel extend beyond the lower retaining groove, and the length of the lower retaining groove is greater than or equal to the dimension of the tempered glass along the length direction of the lower support plate, ensuring that the cut glass can be inserted and confined.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the upper pressure plate is provided with an upper slot, and the upper pressure plate is provided with an upper heating plate on the inner top surface of the upper slot. There are several overflow ports located on the inner top surface of the upper slot, outside of the upper heating plate, to reheat the glass from the upper surface of the glass.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the projection of the upper slot on the horizontal plane coincides with the lower slot, and the upper surface of the upper pressure plate is provided with a clearance groove communicating with the upper slot. The projection of the clearance groove on the horizontal plane coincides with the dividing groove, so as to avoid motion interference with the flow blade.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the upper heating plate is divided into two parts, both of which are parallel to the clearance groove, and only heat the material near the tempered glass cutting line.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the lower support plate has a lower mounting cavity on the inner bottom surface of the lower slot, and the lower heating plate is embedded in the lower mounting cavity and kept flush with the lower slot; the upper pressure plate has an upper mounting cavity on the inner top surface of the upper slot, and the upper heating plate is embedded in the upper mounting cavity and kept flush with the upper slot, for direct contact with the glass surface to improve heating efficiency.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the lower support plate are provided with mounting holes that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces, and both ends of the upper pressure plate are provided with traction ears. The lifting device includes a cylinder and a telescopic column that cooperate with each other. The cylinder is fixedly connected in the mounting hole, and the movable end of the telescopic column faces upward and is connected to the traction ears, thereby driving the upper pressure plate to descend and press down and rise and release.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the guide frame includes a pair of parallel guide rails, the ends of which are fixedly connected to the cylinder via connecting sleeves. The surfaces of the guide rails are provided with straight toothed grooves. The slider contains a motor and a reducer, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a gear. The slider has guide holes that penetrate opposite sides, through which the guide rails mesh with the gears. The lower end of the flow blade is fixedly connected to the housing of the slider via a heat insulation seat to reduce heat conduction damage to the slider.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0013] (1) By setting up an electric heating plate structure around the cutting line on the opposite sides of the lower support plate and the upper pressure plate, heating is only applied to the area near the tempered glass that needs to be cut, which effectively reduces the energy consumption of the reheating process. The whole equipment is smaller in size, easier to configure, and has lower transportation and usage costs.

[0014] (2) The lower support plate and the upper pressure plate are used to apply pressure to the tempered glass by the lifting device. Even if the local internal stress of the tempered glass disappears due to heat, the structure of other parts of the tempered glass can be kept stable, ensuring the safety and stability of the cutting process. At the same time, the equipment can quickly cool the edges of the cut glass to achieve hardening and sealing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 The automated tempered glass cutting and processing equipment shown includes a horizontal lower support plate 1. The upper surface of the lower support plate 1 has a lower slot 101 with two parallel side walls. The bottom surface of the lower support plate 1 also has a dividing channel 102 communicating with the lower slot 101. The dividing channel 102 is located in the center of the lower slot 101. The length of the dividing channel 102 is greater than the length of the lower slot 101, and both ends of the dividing channel 102 extend beyond the lower slot 101. The length of the lower slot 101 is greater than or equal to the dimension of the tempered glass along the length direction of the lower support plate 1, ensuring that the tempered glass can be placed into the lower slot 101 and limited by the inner wall of the lower slot 101.

[0031] The lower support plate 1 has a lower heating plate 104 parallel to the dividing channel 102 at the bottom of the lower slot 101. In fact, there are two lower heating plates 104, which are symmetrical about the dividing channel 102. The lower support plate 1 has a lower configuration cavity 103 on the bottom surface of the lower slot 101. The lower heating plate 104 is embedded in the lower configuration cavity 103 and is flush with the lower slot 101. Together with the bottom surface of the lower slot 101, it contacts the lower surface of the glass.

[0032] The two ends of the lower support plate 1 are movably connected to the upper pressure plate 2 at the same level through the lifting device 3. The two ends of the lower support plate 1 are provided with mounting holes 105 that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces. The mounting holes 105 are not connected to the lower slot 101 and the partition slot 102. The two ends of the upper pressure plate 2 have traction ears 205 at the same level. The lifting device 3 is usually a hydraulic cylinder with strong power and stability, including a cylinder barrel 301 and a telescopic column 302 that cooperate with each other. The cylinder barrel 301 is fixedly connected in the mounting hole 105. The movable end of the telescopic column 302 faces upward and is fixedly connected to the traction ear 205. Under the drive of the lifting device 3, the upper pressure plate 2 moves relative to the lower support plate 1. When the upper pressure plate 2 descends, it can press the glass. When the upper pressure plate 2 rises, it can release the cut glass.

[0033] The main structure of the upper pressure plate 2 is symmetrical to that of the lower support plate 1. Specifically, the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2 is also provided with an upper slot 201, and the projection of the upper slot 201 on the horizontal plane coincides with the lower slot 101. The upper surface of the upper pressure plate 2 is also provided with a clearance groove 202 communicating with the upper slot 201, and the projection of the clearance groove 202 on the horizontal plane coincides with the partition groove 102. The upper pressure plate 2 is also provided with an upper electric heating plate 204 on the inner top surface of the upper slot 201, which is connected to the lower electric heating plate 101. The position and size of the heating plate 104 correspond. The upper pressure plate 2 has an upper configuration cavity 203 on the inner top surface of the upper slot 201. The upper heating plate 204 is embedded in the upper configuration cavity 203 and is also flush with the upper slot 201. It can contact the upper surface of the glass together with the inner top surface of the upper slot 201. The upper heating plate 204 is also divided into two parts by the clearance groove 202. Both upper heating plates 204 are parallel to the clearance groove 202, so that the glass is heated evenly along the cutting direction.

[0034] The upper surface of the upper pressure plate 2 is provided with a cooling chamber 206. The cooling chamber 206 is connected to a coolant supply pipe and has a buffer space for coolant inside. The lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2 is provided with an overflow port 207 that communicates with the interior of the cooling chamber 206. There are several overflow ports 207, located on the inner top surface outside the upper slot 201 where the upper heating plate 204 is located. The overflow ports 207 allow coolant to flow out from the cooling chamber 206.

[0035] Below the lower support plate 1, a horizontal guide frame 4 is also provided. The guide frame 4 is equipped with a movable cutting component 5. Under program control, the cutting component 5 can actively adjust its position. The cutting component 5 includes a slide 503 that cooperates with the guide frame 4. The slide 503 is the mechanism for automated cutting. A flowing blade 501 is fixed on the slide 503 for direct contact with the glass to achieve cutting. The guide frame 4 includes a pair of parallel guide rails 401, both of which are parallel to the length direction of the lower support plate 1, effectively maintaining the smooth movement of the slide 503. In fact, the ends of the guide rails 401 are fixedly connected to the cylinder 301 via connecting sleeves 402, further improving the relative stability of the cylinder 301. The surface of the guide rails 401 is provided with straight toothed grooves. The slide 503 contains a motor and a reducer. The output end is connected to the input end of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is fixedly connected to a gear. The slide 503 has a guide hole 504 that passes through the opposite side. The guide rail 401 passes through the guide hole 504 and meshes with the output end gear in the slide 503. Since the meshing transmission will not slip, the slide 503 can provide a large thrust to the flowing blade 501 without slipping. Because the flowing blade 501 is close to the heating plate, it is easy to be heated. Therefore, it is usually made of high temperature resistant alloy material. In order to avoid the slide 503 being damaged by high temperature due to heat conduction, the lower end of the flowing blade 501 is fixedly connected to the shell of the slide 503 through a heat insulation seat 502 made of low thermal conductivity material. The flowing blade 501 passes through the partition groove 102 to cut the glass part that has been relieved of internal stress, thereby realizing the automated cutting of tempered glass.

[0036] Working principle: In the initial state, the slide 503 is close to the end of the guide rail 401, and the upper pressure plate 2 is away from the lower support plate 1 and is at the upper limit position. The tempered glass to be cut is pushed into the lower slot 101 of the lower support plate 1 by the conveying mechanism. After the lower slot 101 is slidably adjusted to the required cutting position, the upper pressure plate 2 will descend under the action of the lifter 3 until it contacts and clamps the tempered glass. Then, the lower heating plate 104 and the upper heating plate 204 are energized at the same time to rapidly heat the glass between them. When the part of the tempered glass that is clamped reaches more than 600 degrees, the internal and external stresses will be eliminated. Since the thermal conductivity of tempered glass is relatively low, the stress of other parts that have not been fully heated remains stable. At this time, the flowing blade 501 can move from the end of the separating channel 102 and the clearance channel 202 to the middle under the action of the slide 503 to cut the part that has become ordinary glass. The tempered glass is completely separated until the flowing blade 501 moves to the other end of the separating channel 102 and the clearance channel 202. Because the cut end of the tempered glass is pressed and constrained by the lower support plate 1, the upper pressure plate 2, and ordinary glass, it will not crack and can maintain structural stability. After the cutting is completed, the coolant in the cooling chamber 206 is quickly pressurized so that the coolant is discharged from the overflow port 207, which quickly cools down the high temperature glass. In this way, the edges of the two pieces of glass that were cut will harden again. After hardening, the upper pressure plate 2 will rise under the drive of the elevator 3, release and move away from the two pieces of glass that have been cut. In this way, the two pieces of tempered glass that have been re-cut and hardened can be separated under the drive of the conveying mechanism, and the next round of cutting can be carried out. During the cutting, the flowing blade 501 only needs to return to the initial position from the other end of the separating channel 102 and the clearance channel 202.
