Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass processing equipment, and relates to an online automatic positioning device for glass in horizontal drilling and milling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing horizontal drilling and milling equipment, glass positioning typically relies on manual operation or simple mechanical limiting devices, lacking automated positioning capabilities. This traditional method is not only inefficient but also difficult to guarantee accuracy, especially when processing large-sized or high-precision glass, where the errors of manual operation and the limitations of mechanical limiting devices become more pronounced. For example, positioning the glass along the X and Y axes often requires multiple adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot achieve real-time accurate positioning, resulting in unstable processing quality. Furthermore, existing equipment cannot effectively fix the glass after it is positioned, which can easily lead to displacement of the glass during processing, further affecting processing accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online automatic glass positioning device for horizontal drilling and milling equipment, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability of existing horizontal drilling and milling equipment to automatically position glass, poor positioning effect, and low processing accuracy.

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] As shown in the figure, an online automatic positioning device for glass in a horizontal drilling and milling equipment includes:
[0040] Bed frame 1;
[0041] The liftable conveyor 4 is mounted on the bed 1 and is used to horizontally convey the glass along the X-axis. Since the conveyor 4 can both horizontally convey the glass and has a lifting function, after the glass is conveyed to the designated position, the conveyor 4 can move down to place the glass on the adsorption member 2. The adsorption member 2 adsorbs the glass, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the glass.
[0042] The end positioning cylinder 5 is mounted on the bed 1 and located near the end of the conveying device 4, and is set to limit the glass in the X-axis direction.
[0043] The side positioning cylinder 3 is mounted on the bed 1 and located on one side of the conveying device 4. It is set to limit the glass in the Y-axis direction. The telescopic rods of the end positioning cylinder 5 and the side positioning cylinder 3 are both vertically raised and lowered. When the glass is being conveyed, the telescopic rods of the two cylinders can be raised to achieve the effect of positioning the end face and side of the glass. When positioning is not required, the telescopic rods of the two cylinders move down without affecting the conveying device 4's conveying of the glass.
[0044] The laser edge finder 8, located above the conveying device 4 and movable along the X and Y axes, is configured for precise positioning of the glass. This laser edge finder 8 is an automated device for precisely positioning the edges of workpieces, typically used in CNC machining, cutting, and engraving equipment. It detects the edge position of the workpiece by emitting a laser beam and receiving reflected light, quickly and accurately determining the positional deviation of the workpiece in the X and Y axes. In this example, after the glass is initially positioned by the end positioning cylinder 5 and the side positioning cylinder 3, the laser edge finder 8 can move along the X and Y axes to detect the edge position of the glass and feed the data back to the equipment's control system, thereby finding the center of the glass and achieving precise positioning.
[0045] The clamping mechanism is designed to press the glass firmly to prevent it from shifting during processing.
[0046] Specifically, it also includes multiple suction components 2 installed on the bed 1. When the conveying device 4 moves down, the top of the suction component 2 is higher than the surface of the conveying device 4. In this example, the suction component 2 is a suction cup. After the glass comes into contact with the suction component 2, the glass can be firmly adsorbed onto the suction cup by drawing a vacuum, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the glass.
[0047] Specifically, the conveying device 4 includes:
[0048] Two crossbars 401 are mounted at both ends of the bed 1 in a lifting manner;
[0049] There are multiple longitudinal bars 406, which are installed on two cross bars 401, and each longitudinal bar 406 has a drive wheel 407 installed at both ends;
[0050] The conveyor belt 405 is connected to two drive pulleys 407 on the same longitudinal bar 406. In this example, the drive pulleys 407 are synchronous pulleys and the drive belt is a synchronous belt, which has the characteristics of high precision and good conveying effect.
[0051] The drive shaft 402 is synchronously connected to the drive wheel 407 installed at the end of the longitudinal rod 406 on the same side;
[0052] The drive source is connected to the drive shaft 402. Specifically, the drive source mainly includes a transmission motor 403 and a reducer 404. The reducer 404 is connected to the drive shaft 402, and the transmission motor 403 is connected to the reducer 404. After the transmission motor 403 is started, it can drive the drive shaft 402 to rotate through the reducer 404, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 407 to rotate, and finally causes the conveyor belt 405 to transport the glass.
[0053] Specifically, a slide rail 409 is also installed on the crossbar 401, and sliders 408 are connected to the lower sides of the vertical bars 406. The sliders 408 are slidably connected to the slide rail 409 and are configured to adjust the distance between two adjacent vertical bars 406. In this example, there are three vertical bars 406. In other embodiments, different numbers can be designed according to actual needs. The structural design of the sliders 408 and the slide rail 409 can adjust the distance between two adjacent vertical bars 406, thereby meeting the conveying needs of glass of different sizes and providing greater flexibility.
[0054] Specifically, it also includes a first linear module 9 installed at the four corners of the bed 1. The two ends of the crossbar 401 are installed on the first linear module 9, and the crossbar 401 is driven to rise and fall through the first linear module 9. The first linear module 9 has the characteristics of high precision and is mainly used to drive the conveyor device 4 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.
[0055] Specifically, the bed 1 has a crossbeam 6 that moves along the X-axis, and two movable seats 7 that can move along the Y-axis are mounted on the crossbeam 6. Laser edge finders 8 are mounted on the movable seats 7. In this example, the device is a horizontal drilling and milling machine. One movable seat 7 is equipped with a grinding head for grinding the glass, and the other movable seat 7 is equipped with a milling cutter or drill bit for milling or drilling the glass. The two movable seats 7 can be connected by a lead screw to the crossbeam 6, enabling lateral movement of the movable seats 7. The structure and principle of this drilling and milling machine are conventional in existing technology and will not be elaborated further here. Furthermore, the two laser edge finders 8 mounted on the movable seats 7 can quickly locate the glass edge, offering advantages such as high positioning accuracy and high work efficiency.
[0056] Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes a first side clamping device 10, which includes a movable beam 1002 capable of moving along the X-axis direction of the bed 1. In this example, second linear modules 1001 are installed on both the left and right sides of the bed 1. The two ends of the movable beam 1002 are connected to the moving platform of the second linear module 1001. Driven by the second linear module 1001, the movable beam 1002 can move along the X-axis direction. Several first clamping cylinders 1003 are installed on the movable beam 1002. The telescopic rod ends of the first clamping cylinders 1003... The unit is connected to a lifting cylinder 1004. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 1004 is set in a vertical direction, and the end of the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 1004 is connected to a first top block 1005. Specifically, during operation, after the glass is placed on the adsorption component 2, the lifting cylinder 1004 is activated first, causing the first top block 1005 to move down. Then, the moving beam 1002 is moved to the designated position through the second linear module 1001, and the first clamping cylinder 1003 is activated, so that the first top block 1005 is clamped to the end of the glass, achieving the clamping effect of the glass in the X-axis direction.
[0057] Specifically, the clamping mechanism further includes a second side clamping device 11, which includes a second clamping cylinder 1102 that can move along the Y-axis of the bed 1. The end of the telescopic rod of the second clamping cylinder 1102 is connected to a second top block 1103. More specifically, the second side clamping device 11 is mainly installed below the crossbeam 6. A third linear module 1101 is installed below the crossbeam 6. The second clamping cylinder 1102 is installed on the moving platform of the third linear module 1101. In the actual clamping process of the glass, the position of the second clamping cylinder 1102 can be adjusted according to the glass size. When the second clamping cylinder 1102 is in a suitable position, the second clamping cylinder 1102 is activated, driving the second top block 1103 to move. The second top block 1103 can clamp against the side of the glass, thereby achieving the clamping effect of the glass in the Y-axis direction.
[0058] The first side clamping device 10 and the second side clamping device 11 can clamp the glass in the horizontal direction. With the adsorption component 2, the fixation of the glass can be further improved, avoiding displacement during glass drilling, milling or grinding, and further improving the glass processing accuracy.
[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
