The top wheel assembly is located below the conveyor roller track. The top wheel assembly of the aforementioned edge-breaking device cannot move stably to contact the glass and achieve glass separation, resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a more practical center-separating top roller. This invention uses a drive assembly to achieve stable height adjustment of the moving frame and the top roller assembly, thereby ensuring stable contact and separation between the top roller assembly and the glass, resulting in greater practicality.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a split top wheel, including a base plate, a movable frame on the base plate, a driving component for driving the movable frame to move on the base plate, a top wheel assembly for lifting the glass on the movable frame, and a support component for supporting the movable frame on the base plate.
[0006] The support assembly includes a support column connected to the base plate, and the support column is provided with a contact block.
[0007] The driving component is a slider cylinder, and the slider of the slider cylinder is connected to the moving frame.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the splitting top wheel includes a base plate 3, a movable frame 7 on the base plate 3, a drive assembly on the base plate 3 to move the movable frame 7, and a top wheel assembly on the movable frame 7 to lift the glass. When the glass needs to be separated, the top wheel assembly contacts the glass, and then the top wheel assembly moves upward when the movable frame 7 is driven by the drive assembly, and the top wheel assembly contacts the bottom of the glass to realize the separation work after the glass is cut. The base plate 3 is provided with a support assembly to support the movable frame 7.
[0026] When the glass needs to be lifted and separated after cutting, the drive component on the base plate 3 works to move the moving frame 7, thereby moving the top wheel assembly on the moving frame 7 stably. The top wheel assembly squeezes the glass to achieve the separation of the glass. When the top wheel assembly needs to be repaired, the moving frame 7 is supported by the support component on the base plate 3, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the top wheel assembly on the support frame 7, making it more practical.
[0027] Specifically, the support assembly includes a support column 4 connected to the base plate 3. The support column 4 is provided with a contact block 5, which contacts the movable frame 7, thereby providing support for the movable frame 7 when the top wheel assembly is not working, thus facilitating maintenance of the top wheel assembly on the movable frame 7. Specifically, the support column 4 is connected to the base plate 3 by bolts, and the support base 4 is connected to the contact block 5 by bolts, thereby enabling convenient assembly and disassembly of the support column 4 and the contact block 5. The contact block 5 is made of nylon, thereby providing elastic support for the movable frame 7. There are two support columns 4, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 3.
[0028] Specifically, the driving component is a slider cylinder 6. The slider of the slider cylinder 6 is connected to the moving frame 7. The operation of the slider cylinder 6 causes the moving frame 7 connected to the slider to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the movement of the top wheel assembly on the moving frame 7. Specifically, there are two slider cylinders 6, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the base plate 3 and are located on the outside of the two support columns 4.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and 2 The top wheel assembly includes a support base 8 connected to the movable frame 7. The support base 8 is provided with a first upright 10 and a second upright 16. The first upright 10 is provided with a first contact wheel 11, and the second upright 16 is provided with a second contact wheel 19. The movable frame 7 moves, causing the support base 8 to move, which in turn causes the first upright 10 and the second upright 16 on the support base 8 to move, thereby causing the first contact wheel 11 and the second contact wheel 19 to move and contact the glass. Specifically, the support base 8 is wedge-shaped, and one end of the support base 8 is connected to the movable frame 7 by bolts.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two first supports 10 and two second supports 16. The two second supports 16 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two first supports 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two second supports 16. By increasing the lateral span of the top wheel assembly through the two first supports 10 and the two second supports 16, the contact width between the top wheel assembly and the glass is increased, thereby ensuring that the glass is stably separated under the lifting of the top wheel assembly.
[0031] Specifically, the first support 10 is provided with a side seat 12, which is connected to the first contact wheel 11 through a first bearing 14. The first bearing 14 facilitates the rotation of the first contact wheel 11 on the side seat 12, thereby ensuring that the glass can move easily after contact with the first contact wheel 10. A fixing post 17 is provided between the two second supports 16. The fixing post 17 is connected to the second contact wheel 19 through a second bearing 18. The second bearing 18 on the fixing post 17 ensures that the glass can move easily after contact with the second contact wheel 19. Specifically, the fixing post 17 is provided with two second bearings 18, which are connected to the two second contact wheels 19. The fixing post 17 is provided with a fixing nut, and the two second supports 16 are provided with through holes for the fixing post 17 to pass through. The fixing post 17 passes through the through holes, and the nut on the fixing post 17 rotates to abut against the two second supports 16, thereby realizing the installation of the fixing post 17.
[0032] The side seat 12 is provided with a stud 13, which is threadedly engaged with the first upright seat 10. The stud 13 enables the side seat 12 to be easily installed and removed from the first upright seat 10. The first bearing 14 is fixed to the side seat 12 by mounting bolts 15, which also enables the first bearing 14 to be easily installed and removed from the side seat 12.
[0033] The movable frame 7 is equipped with a mounting plate 9, which is connected to the first stand 10 and the second stand 16 by fixing bolts 20. The cooperation between the mounting plate 9 and the fixing bolts 20 enables the convenient assembly and disassembly of the first stand 10 and the second stand 16, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the first contact wheel 10 and the second contact wheel 19. Specifically, the first stand 10 and the second stand 19 are provided with through holes for bolts to pass through, and the mounting plate 9 is provided with threaded holes that mate with the fixing bolts 20.
[0034] The mounting plate 9 has extension plates 21 on both sides. The extension plates 21 have adjustment holes 24 that cooperate with the fixing bolts 20. The first support 10 is moved onto the extension plate 21. The distance between the two first support 10s is adjusted by the cooperation of the fixing bolts 20 and the adjustment holes 24, so that the top wheel assembly can lift glass of different widths. The end of the extension plate 21 is provided with an inclined support column 22. The inclined support column 22 is provided with a reinforcing block 23. The reinforcing block 23 is welded to the support base 8. The extension plate 21 is stably connected to the mounting plate 9 by the cooperation of the inclined support column 22 and the reinforcing block 23. Specifically, the extension plate 21 is welded to the mounting plate 9, one end of the inclined support column 22 is welded to the lower part of the extension plate 21, the other end of the inclined support column 22 is welded to the reinforcing block 23, and the reinforcing block 23 is welded to the support base 8.
[0035] The base plate 3 is provided with vertical plates 1, and adjacent vertical plates 1 are connected by connecting plates 2. The vertical plates 1 are provided with mounting holes 25, through which bolts pass to fix the vertical plates 1, thereby realizing the installation of the entire center split top wheel. Specifically, there are two vertical plates 1, which are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the base plate 3, and the vertical plates 1 are connected to the connecting plates 2 by bolts.
[0036] In summary, when the glass needs to be lifted and separated, the slider cylinder 6 on the base plate 3 operates, causing the movable frame 7 connected to the slider of the cylinder to move vertically. This moves the first support 10 and the second support 16 on the movable frame 7, and then the first contact wheel 11 on the first support 10 and the second contact wheel 19 on the second support 16 to contact the glass. The slider cylinder 6 continues to operate, and the glass is separated under the action of the first contact wheel 11 and the second contact wheel 19. When the slider cylinder 6 is not operating, the contact block 5 on the support column 4 on the base plate 3 contacts the movable frame 7, supporting the movable frame 7 through the support column 4 and the contact block 5. The weight of the movable frame 7 and the top wheel assembly is also supported by the support column 4, thus protecting the slider cylinder 6 and facilitating the maintenance of the first contact wheel 11 and the second contact wheel 19 on the movable frame 7, making it more practical.
[0037] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
