Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass drilling equipment, and specifically to a positioning mechanism for a glass drilling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Existing glass drilling machine positioning technology mainly relies on manual adjustment or screw-based mechanical adjustment systems, which are widely used in the drilling and processing of architectural glass, automotive glass, and home decorative glass. Positioning is achieved through manual knob adjustment or screw transmission. Although it can meet basic processing requirements, it depends on the operator's experience and the adjustment accuracy is limited by the inherent errors of the mechanical structure. As the glass deep processing industry develops towards high precision and automation, traditional drilling processing has exposed problems such as low positioning accuracy and the time-consuming manual adjustment during batch processing, which seriously restricts the production cycle. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a positioning mechanism for a glass drilling machine. Using a fully automatic image measuring instrument, the material transferred to the worktable is scanned, measured, and positioned during its entry into the processing station. Key positional information of the material is acquired and fed back to the control unit, providing a basis for subsequent displacement adjustment and improving positioning accuracy. In the translation mechanism, a rotary motor drives a threaded screw to rotate. Through the connection between the coupling and the connecting plate, the connecting plate moves the drilling positioning unit along the slide rail. During the movement, a photoelectric sensor monitors the position of the drilling positioning unit in real time, ensuring that it moves accurately along the predetermined route to the material position determined by the fully automatic image measuring instrument. In the processing area, the accuracy of motion positioning is improved. The displacement adjustment module, based on the precise position data of the fully automatic image measuring instrument, performs lateral fine-tuning of the drilling component, further ensuring that the drill bit can accurately align with the predetermined drilling point on the material. During batch processing, frequent manual adjustments are unnecessary. The fully automatic image measuring instrument, translation mechanism, displacement adjustment module, and lifting cylinder work together to automate the entire process from measurement and positioning to displacement adjustment. At the same time, the limiting component and auxiliary positioning component limit and fix the material, ensuring material stability and significantly reducing manual adjustment time. This effectively solves the problems of low positioning accuracy and time-consuming manual adjustments during batch processing that severely restrict production cycle in traditional technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A positioning mechanism for a glass drilling machine includes a worktable with a drilling positioning unit for positioning and processing materials. The drilling positioning unit includes a translation mechanism on the side of the worktable, a support shaft on the translation mechanism, a lifting cylinder connected to the support shaft via a clamping member, a fully automatic image measuring instrument slidably connected to the support shaft via a sliding sleeve at the output end of the lifting cylinder, a displacement adjustment module connected to the fully automatic image measuring instrument via a mounting plate, and a drilling assembly on the side of the displacement adjustment module. The translation mechanism, in conjunction with the fully automatic image measuring instrument, drives the drilling assembly to move towards the processing station. The support shaft, in conjunction with the lifting cylinder, provides working space for the drilling assembly. The lifting cylinder, in conjunction with the displacement adjustment module, drives the drilling assembly to perform vertical displacement adjustment. The fully automatic image measuring instrument measures the processing station of the material. The displacement adjustment module, in conjunction with the translation mechanism, adjusts the lateral displacement of the drilling assembly. The drilling assembly is used to drill holes in the material.
[0006] The translation mechanism includes at least two slide rails on the worktable, at least two sliders on the two slide rails, a connecting plate on the two sliders, a threaded screw on one side of the two slide rails, and a rotary motor at one end of the threaded screw. The two slide rails are slidably connected to the sliders. The connecting plate is connected to the threaded screw through a coupling. The rotary motor is used to cooperate with the threaded screw to drive the connecting plate connected to the coupling to slide along the guide rail.
[0007] The workbench is equipped with at least two photoelectric sensors, which are used to cooperate with the fully automatic image measuring instrument to locate materials.
[0008] At least two support components are provided between the two photoelectric sensors, which are used to cooperate with the drilling component to support and stabilize the material.
[0009] The support assembly includes at least one support plate on the workbench, a sliding groove on the support plate, and a plurality of rollers in the sliding groove. The rollers are rotatably connected to the sliding groove, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the sliding groove.
[0010] The workbench is equipped with two limiting components, which are used in conjunction with the support components to limit the material.
[0011] The limiting component includes at least two connecting columns on the workbench and a limiting plate on the two connecting columns. The limiting plate is an L-shaped plate, and the connecting columns are fixedly connected to the limiting plate.
[0012] At least four auxiliary positioning components are provided between the limiting component and the supporting component. These auxiliary positioning components are used to cooperate with the limiting component to limit the material.
[0013] The auxiliary positioning component includes a mounting column on the workbench, a limiting cylinder passing through the mounting column, a suction cup on the limiting cylinder, and a telescopic cylinder connected below the limiting cylinder via a first clamping plate. The output end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting column via a second clamping plate. The limiting cylinder is used to cooperate with the suction cup to adsorb materials, and the telescopic cylinder is used to drive the limiting cylinder to slide along the mounting column.
[0014] The drilling assembly includes a drive motor, a tool holder located at the output end of the drive motor, and a drill bit located inside the tool holder. The drive motor is used to drive the drill bit to rotate in conjunction with the tool holder, and the drill bit is used to process materials.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The fully automatic image measuring instrument scans, measures, and positions the material transferred to the worktable, obtaining key position information and feeding it back to the control terminal. This provides precise data for displacement adjustment, replacing the traditional positioning method that relies on operator experience and avoiding human error from the source. In the translation mechanism, a rotary motor drives a threaded screw to rotate, which, through the connection between the coupling and the connecting plate, moves the drilling positioning unit along the slide rail. At the same time, photoelectric sensors monitor the position of the drilling positioning unit in real time, ensuring that it moves accurately to the processing area determined by the fully automatic image measuring instrument along the predetermined route. The combination of mechanical transmission and real-time monitoring improves the accuracy of movement and positioning. The displacement adjustment module further performs lateral fine-tuning of the drilling assembly based on the fine position data of the fully automatic image measuring instrument, so that the drill bit can accurately align with the predetermined drilling point of the material. This compensates for the positioning inaccuracy caused by the inherent structural errors of the traditional mechanical adjustment system. The lifting cylinder, in conjunction with the support shaft, adjusts the vertical working height of the drilling assembly. The support shaft provides stable support and guidance, ensuring accurate and stable vertical displacement.
[0017] 2. Through the coordinated and automated operation of components such as fully automatic image measuring instruments, translation mechanisms, displacement adjustment modules, and lifting cylinders, frequent manual adjustments are not required. The entire process from material positioning and component movement to drilling is automated, effectively shortening the production cycle and solving the problem that the time-consuming manual adjustments in traditional technology severely restrict the efficiency of batch processing.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model relates to a positioning mechanism for a glass drilling machine, including a worktable 1. A drilling positioning unit 2 is provided on the worktable 1. The drilling positioning unit 2 is used to position materials for processing. The drilling positioning unit 2 includes a translation mechanism 20 located on the side of the worktable 1, a support shaft 21 on the translation mechanism 20, a lifting cylinder 22 connected to the support shaft 21 via a clamping member 220, a fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 slidably connected to the support shaft 21 via a sliding bushing 230 at the output end of the lifting cylinder 22, a displacement adjustment module 24 connected to the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 via a mounting plate 240, and a drilling assembly located on the side of the displacement adjustment module 24. Component 25, the translation mechanism 20 is used to cooperate with the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 to drive the drilling assembly 25 to move towards the processing station, the support shaft 21 is used to cooperate with the lifting cylinder 22 to provide working space for the drilling assembly 25, the lifting cylinder 22 is used to cooperate with the displacement adjustment module 24 to drive the drilling assembly 25 to perform vertical displacement adjustment, the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 is used to measure the processing station of the material, the displacement adjustment module 24 is used to cooperate with the translation mechanism 20 to adjust the lateral displacement of the drilling assembly 25, and the drilling assembly 25 is used to drill holes in the material; in the initial state, the slider 201 of the translation mechanism 20 is located at one end of the slide rail 200, the connecting plate 202 is in the initial position, and the drilling assembly 25 is in the starting position. When drilling into materials such as glass, the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 is activated first. Through sensing and measurement, it scans, measures, and positions the material transferred to the worktable as it enters the processing station, acquiring key position information of the material and feeding it back to the control terminal to provide a basis for subsequent displacement adjustment. Subsequently, the translation mechanism 20 starts working. The rotary motor 204 drives the threaded screw 203 to rotate. Through the connection between the coupling 205 and the connecting plate 202, the connecting plate 202 drives the drilling positioning unit 2 connected to it to move along the slide rail. During the movement, the photoelectric sensor 3 monitors the position of the drilling positioning unit 2 in real time to ensure that it moves accurately along the predetermined route to the position determined by the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23. The material processing area is defined; then, the displacement adjustment module 24 starts to work. The control end makes a fine adjustment to the horizontal displacement of the drilling assembly 25 based on the precise position data of the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23, so as to ensure that the drill bit 252 of the drilling assembly 25 can be accurately aligned with the predetermined drilling point on the material; at the same time, the lifting cylinder 22 drives its output end to drive the sliding bushing 230 to move vertically along the support shaft 21 according to the height of the material and the drilling process requirements, so as to adjust the working height of the drilling assembly 25, so that the drilling assembly 25 can approach the surface of the material and complete the drilling action. The support shaft 21 provides stable support and guidance for the operation of the lifting cylinder 22, ensuring that the vertical displacement of the drilling assembly 25 is accurate and stable.Once the drilling assembly 25 is precisely positioned, the drive motor 250 within it starts, causing the drill bit 252 inside the tool holder 251 to rotate at high speed. Simultaneously, under the further drive of the lifting cylinder 22, the drilling assembly 25 moves downwards, and the drill bit 252 contacts the material surface and begins drilling. The limiting component 5 and the auxiliary positioning component 6 limit and hold the material in place, ensuring that the material maintains a stable posture during drilling and is not affected by stress or other factors generated during drilling, thus preventing displacement.
[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the translation mechanism 20 includes at least two slide rails 200 on the worktable, at least two sliders 201 on the two slide rails, a connecting plate 202 on the two sliders 200, a threaded screw 203 on one side of the two slide rails 201, and a rotary motor 204 at one end of the threaded screw 203. The two slide rails 200 are slidably connected to the sliders 201. The connecting plate 202 is connected to the threaded screw 203 via a coupling 205. The rotary motor 204 is used to cooperate with the threaded screw 203 to drive the connecting plate 202 connected to the coupling 205 to slide along the slide rails 200. One end of the threaded screw 203 is connected to the rotary motor 204 via a flange 206. Each end of the threaded screw 203 is provided with a screw bearing 207. In the initial state... In the translation mechanism 20, the slider 201 is located at one end of the slide rail 200, and the connecting plate 202 is in the initial position. The rotary motor 204 drives the threaded screw 203 to rotate as a power source. The rotation of the threaded screw 203 is transmitted to the connecting plate 202 through the coupling 205. Since the connecting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the slider 201, and the slider 201 is slidably connected to the slide rail 200, the connecting plate 202 drives the drilling positioning unit 2 to move along the slide rail 200. During the movement, the photoelectric sensor 3 on the worktable 1 will monitor the position information of the translation mechanism 20 in real time. This information is fed back to the control terminal to ensure that the translation mechanism 20 can accurately move to the material processing area determined by the fully automatic image measuring instrument according to the predetermined route.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, at least two photoelectric sensors 3 are provided on the workbench 1. These photoelectric sensors 3 are used to cooperate with the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 to position materials. The feedback mechanism of the photoelectric sensors 3 is the same frequency signal as that of the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23, and is fed back to the control terminal.
[0029] like Figure 3-4As shown, at least two support components 4 are provided between the two photoelectric sensors 3. The support components 4 are used to support and stabilize the material in conjunction with the drilling component 25. The support components 4 include at least one support plate 40 on the workbench 1, a sliding groove 41 on the support plate 40, and a plurality of rollers 42 in the sliding groove 41. The rollers 42 are rotatably connected to the sliding groove 41, and the support plate 40 is fixedly connected to the sliding groove 41. When the material enters the processing station, the material contacts the rollers 42, and the material moves smoothly by sliding the rollers, preventing the material from being scratched.
[0030] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the workbench 1 is provided with two limiting components 5. The limiting components 5 are used to cooperate with the support components 4 to limit the material. The limiting components 5 include at least two connecting columns 50 provided on the workbench 1 and a limiting plate 51 provided on the two connecting columns 50. The limiting plate 51 is preferably an L-shaped plate. The connecting columns 50 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 51. When the material is transferred to the workbench 1 and enters the processing station, the limiting components 5 automatically play their role. The L-shaped limiting plate 51 of the limiting components 5 limits the material from the side to prevent the material from deviating during the movement and ensure that the material can accurately reach the processing area.
[0031] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, at least four auxiliary positioning components 6 are provided between the limiting component 5 and the supporting component 4. These auxiliary positioning components 6 are used to cooperate with the limiting component 5 to limit the material. Each auxiliary positioning component 6 includes a mounting post 60 on the workbench 1, a limiting cylinder 61 passing through the mounting post 60, a suction cup 62 on the limiting cylinder 61, and a telescopic cylinder 64 located below the limiting cylinder 61 and connected via a first clamping plate 63. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 64 is fixedly connected to the mounting post 60 via a second clamping plate 65. The limiting cylinder 64 cooperates with the suction cup 62 to adsorb material, and the telescopic cylinder 64 drives the limiting cylinder 61 to slide along the mounting post 60. One end of the telescopic shaft 640 of the telescopic cylinder 64 is fixedly connected to the second clamping plate 65. The other end is fitted with the first clamping plate 63, and the telescopic shaft 640 is slidably connected to the first clamping plate 63. When the material is transferred to the worktable and fully enters the processing station, the auxiliary positioning component 6 starts to work. The telescopic cylinder 64 starts first. When the telescopic shaft 640 at its output end extends downward, the telescopic cylinder 64 drives the first clamping plate 63 to rise. In this way, the first clamping plate 63 drives the limiting cylinder 61 to slide upward along the mounting column 60, so that the suction cup 62 connected to the limiting cylinder 61 can fully contact the lower surface of the material, ensuring that the suction cup 62 can effectively adsorb the material. The vacuum adsorption force generated by the limiting cylinder 61 firmly fixes the material on the limiting component 5, preventing the material from being displaced due to the rotation of the drill bit during the drilling process, and ensuring that the material maintains a stable posture during the drilling process.
[0032] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the drilling assembly 25 includes a drive motor 250, a tool holder 251 disposed at the output end of the drive motor 250, and a drill bit 252 disposed in the tool holder 251. The drive motor 250 is used to drive the drill bit 252 to rotate in cooperation with the tool holder 251, and the drill bit 252 is used to process materials.
[0033] Working Principle: The worktable 1 serves as the basic support platform. Initially, the slider 200 of the translation mechanism 20 is located at one end of the slide rail 201, the connecting plate 202 is in its initial position, and the drilling assembly 25 is also in its initial position. When drilling begins, the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23 is activated to scan, measure, and position the material transferred to the worktable 1, acquiring key position information and feeding it back to the control terminal to provide a basis for subsequent displacement adjustment. Then, the translation mechanism 20 operates, with the rotary motor 204 driving the threaded screw 203 to rotate. Through the connection between the coupling 205 and the connecting plate 202, the connecting plate 202 drives the drilling positioning unit 2 to move laterally along the slide rail 200. The photoelectric sensor 3 monitors the position information in real time to ensure accurate movement to the material processing area. Then, displacement adjustment... Based on the precise position data from the fully automatic image measuring instrument 23, module 24 performs lateral fine-tuning of the drilling assembly 25 to ensure that the drill bit 252 can accurately align with the predetermined drilling point on the material. Simultaneously, the lifting cylinder 22, according to the material height and drilling process requirements, drives the sliding sleeve 230 to move vertically along the support shaft 21, adjusting the drilling assembly 25 to a suitable working height, allowing it to approach the material surface while leaving sufficient downward space to complete the drilling action. Once the drilling assembly 25 is precisely positioned, its internal drive motor 250 starts, causing the drill bit 252 inside the tool sleeve 251 to rotate at high speed. The lifting cylinder 22 further drives the drilling assembly 25 downward, and the drill bit 252 contacts the material surface to begin drilling. At this time, the limiting component 5 and the auxiliary positioning component 6 work together, with the limiting component 5's L... The limiting plate 51 limits the material from the side, the suction cup 62 of the auxiliary positioning component 6 adsorbs the material, and the telescopic cylinder 64 drives the limiting cylinder 61 to slide along the mounting column 60 to adjust the position of the suction cup 62, so as to ensure that the material maintains a stable posture during drilling and is not deviated by the drilling stress.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, without departing from the design spirit of the present utility model, any equivalent changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the structure, features and principles of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the patent application of the present utility model.
