Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to glass post-processing equipment, specifically a glass edging machine with separate processes. Background Technology
[0002] Glass edging machines are common glass processing equipment that grinds the edges of glass to eliminate sharp edges and dents. Chinese patent document CN111571361A discloses a double-sided glass edging machine that utilizes a fixed edging device and a movable edging device to allow the glass to pass between the two devices for edging. However, the movable edging device moves laterally in the glass transport direction. When the width of the glass changes, the movable edging device can only adjust its distance from the fixed edging device after the previous piece of glass has completely passed through, resulting in a significant decrease in the processing efficiency of the edging machine.
[0003] To address this issue, Chinese patent document CN115194598A discloses an edging device and a glass processing system. This system utilizes a first and a third edging mechanism located on the same side, corresponding to independently operating second and fourth edging mechanisms. This allows the second edging mechanism to adjust the distance between the first and second edging mechanisms after the glass passes through them, enabling rapid switching between glass widths. While this edging device addresses the low efficiency of edging machines to some extent, the independent operation of the second and fourth edging mechanisms means that prolonged use can lead to wear and tear on mechanical parts, loosening of the fit, and other factors affecting the accuracy and reliability of their positioning. This can result in positioning errors between the two mechanisms, and in severe cases, overfeeding or idling of the fourth edging mechanism due to its position being too far forward or backward during glass switching. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the technical defects of existing glass edging machines, this utility model provides a stable, reliable, and efficient glass edging machine with separate processing steps.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a glass edging machine with separate processes, mainly comprising a frame, a positioning assembly, and an edging assembly, arranged sequentially along the glass entry direction. The positioning assembly includes a first positioning mechanism, a positioning slide, and a second positioning mechanism. The first positioning mechanism is fixed to one side of the frame, and the positioning slide is also fixed to the frame, located between the first and second positioning mechanisms. The second positioning mechanism is located on the other side of the frame and is slidably connected to the positioning slide. The positioning assembly includes a first edging mechanism, an edging slide, and a second edging mechanism. The first edging mechanism is fixed to one side of the frame, and the edging slide is also fixed to the frame, located between the first and second edging mechanisms. The second edging mechanism is located on the other side of the frame and is slidably connected to the edging slide.
[0006] This application optimizes the above structure by adding a positioning slide between the second positioning mechanism and the positioning slide, with the second positioning mechanism fixed to the positioning slide. A first motor is mounted on the positioning slide, allowing it to slide back and forth on the positioning slide under the drive of the first motor.
[0007] This application further refines the above structure by adding a positioning support between the first and second positioning mechanisms. The positioning support can slide on the positioning slide rail, and its sliding range is between the first and second positioning mechanisms. The positioning support is connected to a first motor, and under the drive of the first motor, it moves in the same direction and synchronously with the positioning slide, and the moving speed of the positioning support and the positioning slide is 1:2.
[0008] This application optimizes the above-described structure. The first positioning mechanism includes a first positioning seat, a positioning motor, a positioning transmission wheel, and a first positioning wheel assembly. The first positioning seat is fixed to the frame, and the positioning motor is fixed to the first positioning seat. The positioning transmission wheel is connected to the shaft of the positioning motor and can transport the glass under the drive of the positioning motor. The first positioning wheel assembly is disposed on the first positioning seat and can press against one side of the glass to perform a positioning function. The second positioning mechanism includes a second positioning seat, a positioning motor, a positioning transmission wheel, and a second positioning wheel assembly. The second positioning seat is slidably connected to the positioning slide, and the positioning motor is fixed to the second positioning seat. The positioning transmission wheel is connected to the shaft of the positioning motor and can transport the glass under the drive of the positioning motor. The second positioning wheel assembly is disposed on the second positioning seat and can press against the other side of the glass to perform a positioning function. The second positioning seat also has a positioning cylinder, which presses against the second positioning wheel assembly to apply pressure to the second positioning wheel assembly.
[0009] This application optimizes the above-described structure by adding a grinding slide between the second grinding mechanism and the grinding slide, with the second grinding mechanism fixed to the grinding slide. A second motor is mounted on the grinding slide, allowing it to slide back and forth on the grinding slide under the drive of the second motor.
[0010] This application further refines the above structure by adding a grinding support seat between the first and second grinding mechanisms. The grinding support seat can slide on the grinding slide, and its sliding range is between the first and second grinding mechanisms. The grinding support seat is connected to a second motor, and under the drive of the second motor, it moves in the same direction and synchronously with the grinding slide, and the moving speed of the grinding support seat and the grinding slide is 1:2.
[0011] This application optimizes the above-described structure. The first edging mechanism includes a first edging seat, an edging motor, and a grinding wheel. The first edging seat is fixed to the frame, and the edging motor is fixed to the first edging seat. The grinding wheel is fixedly connected to the shaft of the edging motor and corresponds to one side of the glass. The second edging mechanism includes a second edging seat, an edging motor, and a grinding wheel. The second edging seat is slidably connected to the edging slide, and the edging motor is fixed to the second edging seat. The grinding wheel is fixedly connected to the shaft of the edging motor and corresponds to the other side of the glass.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this glass edging machine, the positioning and edging processes are separated by setting positioning slides and edging slides on the frame. On one hand, this structure transforms glass positioning and grinding into two independent processes, adding a buffer zone for switching between the two steps. This avoids delays in switching between positioning and grinding during glass transport due to slow response speeds between signals and mechanical components, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the glass throughout the grinding process. On the other hand, the separated processes create two flexible, scalable independent sections along the length of the frame in the glass transport direction. When the widths of the glass to be processed are inconsistent, the positioning and grinding processes can be flexibly switched, improving the efficiency of glass processing.
[0014] 2. In the glass edging machine of this utility model, the relative moving speeds of the positioning support and the positioning slide, and the edging support and the edging slide are both 1:2. This structure ensures that the positioning support and the edging support are always located in the middle of the glass to be processed during glass transport or grinding. In addition to supporting the glass, they also play an auxiliary role in its transport. Attached Figure Description
