Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass tube production technology, and in particular to a cutting device for glass tube production. Background Technology
[0002] When processing glassware such as glass cups, the raw material is usually glass tubes. However, glass factories usually manufacture glass tubes in lengths of 2-4 meters, and then the processing plant cuts the glass tubes to the required length according to the size of the product.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as the glass tube length-cutting device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113666623B, a cutting table, a drive clamping mechanism slidably connected to the cutting table, and a cutting blade mechanism are included. The drive clamping mechanism is used to clamp the glass tube and drive it to rotate. The cutting table is equipped with a feeding station and a cutting station. The drive clamping mechanism and the cutting blade mechanism are respectively located at both ends of the cutting station. The cutting blade mechanism includes a cutting blade moving device and a cutting blade tube, which has a cutting blade for abutting against the inner wall of the glass tube. The cutting table is equipped with a rotating support mechanism and a flame-spraying mechanism located at the cutting station. The rotating support mechanism can slide longitudinally relative to the cutting table to support the part of the glass tube in contact with the cutting blade. When the cutting blade is separated from the glass tube, the flame-spraying mechanism instantly heats the glass tube at a high temperature from the outside, causing the glass tube to break and be cut. This application uses a highly automated method to cut the glass tube, and the cut of the glass tube after cutting is relatively smooth, with a low scrap rate.
[0004] However, existing glass tube cutting equipment requires manual movement of the glass tubes to cut them into multiple segments, and the cut glass tubes also need to be manually handled. These problems reduce the efficiency of glass tube cutting and therefore need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting device for glass tube production, which has the effect of high cutting efficiency.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a cutting device for glass tube production, comprising a base and an electric slide rail, a cutting box fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base, a cutting mechanism being provided inside the cutting box, a side plate fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the base, a moving plate fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the base, an arc-shaped groove being provided inside the moving plate, a track being fixedly connected inside the moving plate, and a traveling wheel being rotatably connected inside the track, a first cylinder being fixedly installed on the outer side of the side plate, a push cylinder being fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder, a clamping block being provided on the top of the moving plate, a second cylinder being fixedly installed on the top of the clamping block, a clamping plate being fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, and anti-slip protrusions being fixedly connected inside the clamping plate.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when cutting the glass tube, the glass tube is placed into the arc-shaped groove inside the moving plate, and then the tail end of the glass tube is extended into the push cylinder. The first cylinder is activated, causing the push cylinder to extend and retract. The push cylinder causes the glass tube to extend and retract inside the arc-shaped groove. The bottom of the glass tube contacts the traveling wheel, and the traveling wheel rotates above the track, thereby improving the smoothness of movement. The first cylinder pushes the glass tube into the cutting box. Then, the second cylinder is activated, causing the clamping plate and anti-slip protrusion to extend and retract. The clamping plate and anti-slip protrusion contact the outer wall of the glass tube, thereby clamping the glass tube. During this process, the glass tube is cut by the cutting mechanism inside the cutting box, preventing the glass tube from shifting during the cutting process. This device continuously pushes the glass tube, so that when the glass tube needs to be cut into multiple segments, it can continuously deliver the glass tube into the cutting box, and the glass tube can be fixed during the cutting process, which not only improves the cutting efficiency but also improves the cutting quality.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the number of anti-slip protrusions is several, and the material of the several anti-slip protrusions is rubber.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip protrusions increase the friction with the glass tube, improve the clamping effect, and the rubber anti-slip protrusions can be deformed to prevent the glass tube from being damaged by clamping.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the number of the walking wheels is several, and each of the several walking wheels is fixedly connected to a cotton pad.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, cotton pads are wrapped around the outside of the wheels, thereby increasing the flexibility of the wheels and preventing damage to the glass tubes.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that: both the outer sides of the movable plate and the clamping block are overlapped with mounting plates, and the inner threads of the mounting plates are connected with screw pins.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is overlapped to the outside of the moving plate and the clamping block, and the clamping block is fixed above the moving plate by screws.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the number of mounting plates is two, and the two mounting plates are symmetrical to each other.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, two mounting plates are distributed on the left and right sides of the moving plate and the clamping block. The two mounting plates are connected by two sets of screw pins through internal threads, which improves the installation stability.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that: a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of each electric slide rail, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting rod, and screws are threaded into the internal parts of the positioning plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate is installed on the beams and columns of the workshop, and the positioning plate is fixed to the beams and columns with screws.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that an outer ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric slide rail, and a movable cylinder is fixedly connected inside the outer ring.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric slide rail is activated, which drives the outer ring and the moving cylinder to move to the other side of the cutting box, so that the glass tube extending outside the cutting box can extend into the inside of the moving cylinder. After the glass tube is cut, the electric slide rail is activated, which drives the moving cylinder to move, thereby transporting the cut glass tube and facilitating the next step of processing.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected inside the movable cylinder, and the anti-slip pad has anti-slip texture inside.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip pads and anti-slip patterns increase friction, preventing the glass tube from shaking during transportation.
[0022] A further feature of this invention is that a chassis is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, and a support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the chassis and feet support the base.
[0024] A further feature of this invention is that cylinder frames are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both the side plates and the clamping blocks.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the first cylinder and the second cylinder are fixed by two cylinder brackets respectively, thereby improving the stability of the first cylinder and the second cylinder during operation.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a base, cutting box, side plate, moving plate, track, traveling wheels, first cylinder, push cylinder, clamping block, second cylinder, clamping plate, and anti-slip protrusions, allows for the cutting of glass tubes. The glass tube is placed into the arc-shaped groove inside the moving plate, and then the tail end of the glass tube is extended into the push cylinder. The first cylinder is activated, causing it to drive the push cylinder to extend and retract. The push cylinder causes the glass tube to extend and retract within the arc-shaped groove. The bottom of the glass tube contacts the traveling wheels, which rotate above the track, thus improving the smoothness of movement. The first cylinder then moves the glass tube... The glass tube is pushed into the cutting box, and then the second cylinder is activated, causing the clamping plate and anti-slip protrusions to extend and retract. The clamping plate and anti-slip protrusions contact the outer wall of the glass tube, thus clamping the glass tube. During this process, the glass tube is cut by the cutting mechanism inside the cutting box, preventing the glass tube from shifting during the cutting process. This device continuously pushes the glass tube, so that when the glass tube needs to be cut into multiple segments, it can continuously deliver the glass tube into the cutting box, and the glass tube can be fixed during the cutting process, which not only improves the cutting efficiency but also improves the cutting quality.
[0028] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of an electric slide rail, connecting rod, positioning plate, outer ring, moving cylinder, and anti-slip pad, allows the positioning plate to be installed on the beams and columns of the workshop. The positioning plate is fixed to the beams and columns with screws. Activating the electric slide rail causes the outer ring and moving cylinder to move, moving the moving cylinder to the other side of the cutting box, allowing the glass tube extending outside the cutting box to extend into the moving cylinder. After the glass tube is cut, activating the electric slide rail again causes the moving cylinder to move, thereby conveying the cut glass tube for further processing. The anti-slip pad and anti-slip texture increase friction, preventing the glass tube from shaking during conveying. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Reference Figure 1-4A cutting device for glass tube production includes a base 1 and an electric slide rail 16. A cutting box 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1, and a cutting mechanism is installed inside the cutting box 2. A side plate 3 is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the base 1. A movable plate 4 is fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the base 1. An arc-shaped groove is opened inside the movable plate 4. A track 5 is fixedly connected inside the movable plate 4. A traveling wheel 6 is rotatably connected inside the track 5. A first cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the side plate 3. A push cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 7. A clamping block 9 is provided on the top of the movable plate 4. A second cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamping block 9. A clamping plate 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 10. Anti-slip protrusions 1 are fixedly connected inside the clamping plate 11. 2. When cutting the glass tube, the glass tube is placed into the arc-shaped groove inside the moving plate 4, and then the tail end of the glass tube is extended into the push cylinder 8. The first cylinder 7 is activated, causing the push cylinder 8 to extend and retract. The push cylinder 8 causes the glass tube to extend and retract inside the arc-shaped groove. The bottom of the glass tube contacts the traveling wheel 6, and the traveling wheel 6 rotates above the track 5, thereby improving the smoothness of movement. The first cylinder 7 pushes the glass tube into the cutting box 2. Then, the second cylinder 10 is activated, causing the clamping plate 11 and the anti-slip protrusion 12 to extend and retract. The clamping plate 11 and the anti-slip protrusion 12 contact the outer wall of the glass tube, thereby clamping the glass tube. During this process, the cutting mechanism inside the cutting box 2... To prevent the glass tube from shifting during the cutting process, this device continuously pushes the glass tube, ensuring it is consistently fed into the cutting box 2 when multiple segments need to be cut. The glass tube is also fixed during cutting, improving both efficiency and quality. Several anti-slip protrusions 12, made of rubber, increase friction with the glass tube, enhancing the clamping effect. The rubber protrusions are also deformable, preventing damage to the glass tube. Several traveling wheels 6 are also included, each with a cotton pad 13 fixedly attached to its exterior. These pads enclose the traveling wheels, increasing stability and ease of movement. The flexibility of wheel 6 prevents damage to the glass tube. Mounting plates 14 overlap the outer sides of both the moving plate 4 and the clamping block 9. The internal threads of the mounting plates 14 are connected to pins 15. The mounting plates 14 are attached to the outer sides of the moving plate 4 and the clamping block 9, and the clamping block 9 is fixed above the moving plate 4 by the pins 15. There are two mounting plates 14, symmetrically arranged, distributed on the left and right sides of the moving plate 4 and the clamping block 9. The internal threads of the two mounting plates 14 are connected to two sets of pins 15 to improve installation stability. Connecting rods 17 are fixedly connected to the top of each electric slide rail 16. Positioning plates 18 are fixedly connected to the top of each connecting rod 17. Screws 24 are connected to the internal threads of the positioning plates 18. The positioning plates 18 are then installed onto the beams and columns of the workshop.The positioning plate 18 is fixed to the beam column by screws 24. An outer ring 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric slide rail 16, and a movable cylinder 20 is fixedly connected inside the outer ring 19. Activating the electric slide rail 16 causes it to move the outer ring 19 and the movable cylinder 20, moving the movable cylinder 20 to the other side of the cutting box 2. This allows the glass tube extending outside the cutting box 2 to extend into the movable cylinder 20. After the glass tube is cut, activating the electric slide rail 16 again causes it to move the movable cylinder 20, thereby transporting the cut glass tube and facilitating glass processing. The tube undergoes further processing. An anti-slip pad 21 is fixedly connected inside the moving cylinder 20. The anti-slip pad 21 has anti-slip textures inside, increasing friction and preventing the glass tube from swaying during transport. A housing 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 22. The housing 22 and support legs support the base 1. Cylinder brackets 23 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the side plate 3 and the clamping block 9. The first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 10 are respectively fixed by two cylinder brackets 23, improving the stability of the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 10 during operation.
[0037] In this invention, when cutting the glass tube, the glass tube is placed into the arc-shaped groove inside the moving plate 4, and then the tail end of the glass tube is extended into the push cylinder 8. The first cylinder 7 is activated, causing the push cylinder 8 to extend and retract. The push cylinder 8 causes the glass tube to extend and retract inside the arc-shaped groove. The bottom of the glass tube contacts the traveling wheel 6, and the traveling wheel 6 rotates above the track 5, thereby improving the smoothness of movement. The first cylinder 7 pushes the glass tube into the cutting box 2. Then, the second cylinder 10 is activated, causing the clamping plate 11 and the anti-slip protrusion 12 to extend and retract. The clamping plate 11 and the anti-slip protrusion 12 contact the outer wall of the glass tube, thereby clamping the glass tube. During this process, the glass tube is cut by the cutting mechanism inside the cutting box 2, preventing the glass tube from shifting during the cutting process. This device continuously cuts the glass tube. The push mechanism allows the glass tube to be continuously fed into the cutting box 2 when it needs to be cut into multiple segments. The glass tube can also be fixed during the cutting process, improving both cutting efficiency and quality. The positioning plate 18 is installed on the beams and columns of the workshop and fixed to them with screws 24. The electric slide rail 16 is activated, causing the outer ring 19 and the moving cylinder 20 to move. The moving cylinder 20 is moved to the other side of the cutting box 2, allowing the glass tube extending outside the cutting box 2 to extend into the moving cylinder 20. After the glass tube is cut, the electric slide rail 16 is activated again, causing the moving cylinder 20 to move, thus transporting the cut glass tube for further processing. The anti-slip pad 21 and anti-slip texture increase friction, preventing the glass tube from shaking during transport.
