Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass testing technology, and in particular to an automatic sampling device for the edge of glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass production process, quality inspection and sampling analysis of the glass edges are crucial steps in ensuring product quality. Traditional methods for glass edge inspection and sampling typically rely on manual operation, which has many drawbacks.

This can lead to some glass products with edge defects entering the market, affecting the overall quality of the products and the company's reputation. For some special types of glass or in complex production environments, it may be impossible to accurately identify potential edge problems. For example, in poor lighting conditions or when the glass surface is highly reflective, the error of manual inspection will be further increased. Utility Model Content

Through the coordinated work of each component, the device realizes accurate detection and sampling of glass edge defects, thereby improving glass production efficiency and product quality.

[0021] The fixed plate 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, providing mounting positions for other components. The first drive mechanism 2 is mounted on the fixed plate 1 and is located on the first vertical plane, while the second drive mechanism 3 is also mounted on the fixed plate 1 and is located on the second vertical plane. Here, the first vertical plane and the second vertical plane are parallel to each other to avoid interference between the components mounted on them.

[0022] The detection component 4 is mounted on the first drive mechanism 2. The first drive mechanism 2 can drive the detection component 4 to move along the first direction in the first vertical plane. The first direction is actually the vertical direction. The first drive mechanism 2 includes a first motor 21. The output end of the first motor 21 is fixedly mounted with a first threaded rod 22 extending along the first direction. When the first motor 21 is started, it drives the first threaded rod 22 to rotate. The first nut adapted to be mounted on the first threaded rod 22 will move along the first direction under the action of the thread as the threaded rod rotates. The first slider 23 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the first nut. The side of the first slider 23 is in a close contact with the fixed plate 1. It can move along the first direction in the first vertical plane under the drive of the first nut, thereby realizing the displacement of the detection component 4 on the plane. The detection component 4 includes an edge inspection lens. The edge inspection lens is fixedly mounted on the first slider 23. The edge inspection lens can perform detailed inspection on the edge of the glass under the drive of the first drive mechanism 2 and accurately capture the defect position of the edge.

[0023] The second drive mechanism 3 includes a second motor 31. The output end of the second motor 31 is fixedly mounted with a second threaded rod 32 extending in the first direction. Similarly, a second nut is adapted to be mounted on the second threaded rod 32. A second slider 33 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the second nut. The side of the second slider 33 is in a close contact with the fixed plate 1 and can move along the first direction on the second vertical plane under the drive of the second nut. The sampling component 5 is mounted on the second drive mechanism 3. The second drive mechanism 3 drives the sampling component 5 to move along the first direction on the second vertical plane. The sampling component 5 includes a cutting mechanism 7. The cutting mechanism 7 is fixedly mounted on the second slider 33. After the edge inspection lens completes the inspection, the second drive mechanism can drive the cutting mechanism 7 to cut the defect position on the edge of the glass.

[0024] The cutting mechanism 7 includes a first cylinder 71. A mounting base 72 is fixedly installed at the end of the first cylinder 71 away from the fixed plate 1. The first cylinder 71 controls the mounting base 72 to move on the second vertical plane, thereby adjusting the contact position between the glass cutter 73 and the glass edge. The glass cutter 73 is installed on the mounting base 72. The length direction of the glass cutter 73 is perpendicular to the second vertical plane, ensuring that the glass edge can be cut during cutting.

[0025] The mounting base 72 also has a cavity 74 inside. The side of the mounting base 72 away from the fixing plate 1 has an opening 75 along a first direction. A plate 76 is movably mounted inside the opening 75. A glass cutter 73 is fixedly mounted on the plate 76 at the end away from the fixing plate 1. A groove 77 is formed on the inner wall of the cavity 74 near the fixing plate 1. The length direction of the groove 77 is parallel to the first direction. A second cylinder 78 is fixedly mounted on the end of the plate 76 near the fixing plate 1. A ball bearing 79 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second cylinder 78 near the fixing plate 1. The ball bearing 79 is movably mounted in the groove 77 and can move along the first direction. When the second cylinder 78 is activated, the movement of the ball bearing 79 in the groove 77 pushes the plate 76 to move along the first direction within the opening 75, thereby adjusting the position of the glass cutter 73 in the first direction. An arc-shaped rod 710 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting base 72 parallel to the second vertical plane. The arc-shaped rod 710 has an arc-shaped groove 711 inside. A plug rod 712 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the plate 76 parallel to the second vertical plane. The plug rod 712 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 711 and can slide along the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 711. Here, the arc-shaped rod 710 and the arc-shaped groove 711 are both semi-circular in shape. Through this special structural design, when the plate 76 moves under the push of the second cylinder 78, the plug rod 712 will slide in the arc-shaped groove 711, so that the glass cutter 73 can move in a specific arc-shaped trajectory to achieve a semi-circular cut on the glass edge centered on the defect position. The opening 75, plate 76, groove 77, second cylinder 78 and ball 79 are all located on the second vertical plane. The plate 76, second cylinder 78, ball 79, plug rod 712 and glass cutter 73 are all located on the first horizontal plane. The first horizontal plane is perpendicular to the second vertical plane. This layout design ensures the stability of each component during the movement.

[0026] It also includes a clamping mechanism 8, which includes a fourth cylinder 81. The fourth cylinder 81 is movably mounted on the fixed plate 1. An electric clamp 82 is fixedly mounted on the end of the fourth cylinder 81 away from the fixed plate 1. After the cutting is completed, the fourth cylinder 81 will act according to the control command to drive the electric clamp 82 to move to the designated position. Then the electric clamp 82 will start to clamp the cut glass sample so that it can be placed into the sampling stage.

[0027] The glass transfer assembly 6 includes a vacuum suction lifter 61, on which a vacuum suction cup 62 is installed. The vacuum suction cup 62 is used to adsorb and fix the glass. The vacuum suction lifter 61 can control the lifting, lowering, and translation of the vacuum suction cup 62 according to the glass transfer requirements on the production line, thereby realizing the smooth movement of the glass on the first vertical plane and the second vertical plane. In the entire workflow of the automatic glass edge sampling device, the glass transfer assembly 6 first accurately transports the glass to the detection position. After the detection assembly 4 completes the detection, the glass transfer assembly 6 moves the glass to the cutting position. After the cutting is completed, the glass with the sample is moved to the operable range of the clamping mechanism 8. Finally, the sampled glass is transported away from the device. The whole process is efficient and smooth, improving the automation level and production efficiency of glass edge sampling.
