Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waterjet cutting equipment, and in particular to a glass waterjet cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] A glass waterjet cutting machine is a device that uses high-pressure water jets to perform cutting operations. During the cutting process, this equipment produces no other substances, making it a clean and environmentally friendly cutting technology. Its cutting principle is as follows: high-pressure water jets abrasive materials (such as sand particles) at high speed, and the high-speed abrasive stream cuts the workpiece.

[0003] Patent publication number CN219190752U discloses a glass waterjet cutting machine, the specific structure of which is as follows: The cutting machine includes a machine base, with an inner main cavity located at the center of the top of the machine base. A mesh frame plate is fitted onto the upper half of the inner circumference of the inner main cavity. Linear motors are embedded on both sides of the top of the machine base, and a frame connects the two linear motors. A waterjet cutting component is located below the frame. Collection cavities are opened on both sides of the top of the machine base, and collection frames are provided on the inner circumference of the collection cavities. Drains connect both sides of the inner main cavity to the collection cavities, and a conical filter plate is fitted onto the inner circumference of the inner main cavity. Rectangular frames are connected to both sides of the two collection cavities, and a sliding plate is provided on the adjacent side of each of the two rectangular frames. A hydraulic rod is connected to one end of the bottom of the sliding plate, and a metal suction cup is connected to the driving end of the hydraulic rod. This glass waterjet cutting machine not only improves the stability of glass fixation but also facilitates the collection and processing of waste chips.

[0004] However, this cutting machine has certain limitations. Because the frame is fixed, and traditional glass waterjet cutting machines generally use manual loading and unloading, this fixed frame results in high labor intensity for operators. Furthermore, when the glass is placed on the frame for horizontal positioning and movement, the entire weight of the glass rests on the frame, easily causing scratches or even damage to the glass surface. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and disclose a glass waterjet cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading functions to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a glass waterjet cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading, which has the advantages of facilitating manual handling of glass and saving labor intensity.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A glass waterjet cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading, comprising:

[0008] Rack: Serves as the support structure for the entire machine;

[0009] Glass support grid frame: Used to support the glass to be cut, it is set above the frame and can move relative to the frame;

[0010] Drive mechanism: Installed on both sides of the frame and connected to the glass support grid frame; the drive mechanism can drive the glass support grid frame to move, so that the glass support grid frame can switch between a tilted state and a horizontal state;

[0011] Limiting edge strip: It is set on the edge of the glass support grid frame and protrudes upward above the surface of the glass support grid frame; when the glass support grid frame is in the side-tilted state, the height of the limiting edge strip is lower than the height of the frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder, a first rod, and a second rod. A right-angle plate is provided on the side of the glass support grid frame. One end of the first rod and the second rod are rotatably connected to the right-angle plate, and the other end of the first rod and the second rod are rotatably connected to the frame. The cylinder seat of the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the middle position of the second rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the right-angle plate has a first pin and a second pin on its side. The upper end of the first rod is rotatably connected to the first pin, and the upper end of the second rod is rotatably connected to the second pin. The distance between the second pin and the side of the glass support grid frame where the limiting edge strip is provided is L1, and the width of the glass support grid frame is L2, and the following conditions are met: L1>1 / 2L2.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting edge strip has several protrusions evenly spaced on the side facing the glass support grid frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the glass support grid frame includes inverted U-shaped strips on both sides, and the right-angle plate is fixedly connected to the inverted U-shaped strips; the frame is provided with a support rod at the corresponding position, and when the glass support grid frame is in a horizontal state, the inverted U-shaped strips are sleeved on the support rods.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame includes side frames on both sides, and a storage space is provided between the side frames and the receiving rod, with the drive mechanism located within the storage space.

[0017] Furthermore, the side frame is equipped with an X-axis linear lead screw module, which is connected to a Y-axis linear lead screw module, and a cutting head is installed on the Y-axis linear lead screw module.

[0018] Furthermore, the bearing surface of the glass support grid frame is composed of several vertically arranged strips, which are evenly spaced along the length of the support surface to support the glass to be cut.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] When loading glass, the glass support grid frame can be tilted to the side by a drive mechanism, which makes it easier to manually move the glass and saves labor intensity. Moreover, it is relatively easy to move the glass when it is placed on the side on the support grid frame, which not only saves effort but also avoids damage to the glass caused by excessive force.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model claims protection for a glass waterjet cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading, comprising:

[0037] Frame 1: Serves as the support structure for the entire machine;

[0038] Glass support grid 2: Used to support the glass to be cut, it is set above the frame 1 and can move relative to the frame 1; mainly, it can move relative to the frame 1 to... Figure 1 As shown in the horizontal position, the cutting head 10 cuts the glass, or moves to... Figure 7 The tilted position shown makes it easy for the glass to be manually moved onto the glass support grid 2, and then moved back to the horizontal position.

[0039] Drive mechanism 3: Installed on both sides of frame 1 and connected to glass support grid frame 2; drive mechanism 3 can drive glass support grid frame 2 to move, so that glass support grid frame 2 can switch between tilting state and horizontal state; specifically, drive mechanism 3 includes hydraulic cylinder 301, first rod 302 and second rod 303, right angle plate 5 is provided on the side of glass support grid frame 2, one end of the first rod 302 and the second rod 303 are rotatably connected to the right angle plate 5, and the other end of the first rod 302 and the second rod 303 are rotatably connected to frame 1; the cylinder seat of hydraulic cylinder 301 is rotatably connected to frame 1, and the piston rod of hydraulic cylinder 301 is rotatably connected to the middle position of second rod 303. Therefore, as can be seen from the diagram, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 301 extends and pushes the second rod 303, causing the second rod 303 to rotate around its connection point with the frame 1. Combined with the rotation of the first rod 302, this allows the glass support grid frame 2 to tilt to the side. When the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 301 retracts, it pulls the second rod 303 back, ultimately causing the glass support grid frame 2 to return to its original position above the frame 1.

[0040] The right-angle plate 5 has a first pin 6 and a second pin 7 on its side. The upper end of the first rod 302 is rotatably connected to the first pin 6, and the upper end of the second rod 303 is rotatably connected to the second pin 7. In fact, the frame 1 is also provided with pins for rotatably connecting the first rod 302 and the second rod 303, so that the upper ends of the first rod 302 and the second rod 303 are rotatably assembled with the right-angle plate 5, and the lower ends of the first rod 302 and the second rod 303 are rotatably assembled with the frame 1.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 The distance between the second pin 7 and the side of the glass support grid frame 2 where the limiting strip 4 is set is L1, and the width of the glass support grid frame 2 is L2, and satisfies: L1>1 / 2L2; that is, the distance between the position of the second pin 7 and the edge of the side of the glass support grid frame 2 where the limiting strip 4 is set is greater than half the width of the glass support grid frame 2, which is conducive to the second rod 303 more smoothly lifting, flipping or pulling back the glass support grid frame 2 to a horizontal state.

[0042] The glass support grid frame 2 is also equipped with a limiting strip 4, which protrudes upwards above the surface of the glass support grid frame 2. When the glass support grid frame 2 is in a tilted state, the height of the limiting strip 4 is lower than the height of the frame 1, allowing the glass to be manually moved to a relatively low height and placed onto the limiting strip 4. When it is necessary to place the glass onto the glass support grid frame 2, the glass support grid frame 2 is first driven to a tilted state, and then the glass is placed on it. The lower edge of the glass overlaps with the limiting strip 4 to form a limit, and the lower surface of the glass is against the glass support grid frame 2. At this time, the surface of the glass can be manually pressed down, and with the drive mechanism 3, the glass support grid frame 2 is slowly returned to a horizontal state, allowing for subsequent cutting. Figure 7 As can be seen, although the glass support grid 2 is in a tilted state, it is also tilted towards the frame 1. Therefore, after the glass is placed on the limiting strip 4 on the glass support grid 2 for support and against the glass support grid 2, the glass is also in a tilted state, not completely upright, making it less likely to tip over. The operator can simply hold it down with their hand for assistance. In addition, to enhance the fixing effect, cylinders can be added around the perimeter of the glass support grid 2 to press and fix the edges of the glass, depending on actual needs. This addition method is a conventional technique and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 The limiting edge strip 4 has several protrusions 401 evenly spaced on the side facing the glass support grid frame 2. When the glass is placed on the limiting edge strip 4, it is actually supported by the protrusions 401. Since the glass may be moved to adjust its position after being moved up, the limiting edge strip 4 is now resting sideways on the glass support grid frame 2, making it easier to move (easier than when the glass is laid flat). In addition, the limiting edge strip 4 and the glass make line contact through the protrusions 401, meaning that only the upper surface of the protrusion 401 contacts the lower edge of the glass. The small contact area reduces the resistance when the glass is moved, saving effort and preventing damage to the glass from excessive force.

[0044] The glass support grid frame 2 includes inverted U-shaped strips 201 on both sides, and right-angle plates 5 are fixedly connected to the inverted U-shaped strips 201; the frame 1 is provided with a support rod 101 at the corresponding position. When the glass support grid frame 2 is in a horizontal state, the inverted U-shaped strips 201 are sleeved on the support rod 101, and the structure is compact and stable.

[0045] The frame 1 includes side frames 102 on both sides, and a storage space 103 is provided between the side frames 102 and the supporting rod 101. The drive mechanism 3 is located in the storage space 103. Since the hydraulic cylinder 301, the first rod 302 and the second rod 303 in the drive mechanism 3 also swing when the drive glass support grid frame 2 is in motion, hiding such swinging parts in the storage space 103 helps to improve the aesthetics and makes it less likely to pinch the human body.

[0046] The side frame 102 is equipped with an X-axis linear lead screw module 8, which is connected to a Y-axis linear lead screw module 9. A cutting head 10 is mounted on the Y-axis linear lead screw module 9. The linear lead screw module is a prior art mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. It mainly includes a lead screw, a nut, a motor, and a slide, etc. The slide is connected to the nut and is used to mount the load, moving with the movement of the nut. In this embodiment, X-axis linear lead screw modules 8 are provided on both sides of the side frame 102. The Y-axis linear lead screw module 9 is connected to the slide of the X-axis linear lead screw module 8, thus moving along the length direction of the X-axis linear lead screw module 8. Similarly, the cutting head 10 is mounted on the slide of the Y-axis linear lead screw module 9, thus moving along the length direction of the Y-axis linear lead screw module 9. Therefore, with the cooperation of the X-axis linear lead screw module 8 and the Y-axis linear lead screw module 9, the cutting head 10 can perform two-dimensional planar cutting above the glass.

[0047] The bearing surface of the glass support grid frame 2 is composed of several vertically arranged strips 202. The strips 202 are evenly spaced along the length of the support surface to support the glass to be cut. The bearing surface composed of several vertically arranged strips 202 has high support strength, which is beneficial to improving the support strength.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This glass waterjet cutting machine uses the frame 1 as the carrier, and the glass support grid frame 2 is used to support the glass. It can switch between tilting and horizontal states under the action of the drive mechanism 3. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 301 of the drive mechanism 3 extends or retracts, pushing or pulling the second rod 303 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the first rod 302, causes the glass support grid frame 2 to tilt or return to its original position. When loading, the glass support grid frame 2 is driven to the tilted state, with the lower edge of the glass overlapping the protrusion 401 of the limiting strip 4, and the lower surface of the glass abutting against the glass support grid frame 2. The glass can be manually held down, and the drive mechanism 3 drives the glass support grid frame 2 to return to the horizontal state. During cutting, the cooperation between the X-axis linear lead screw module 8 and the Y-axis linear lead screw module 9 causes the cutting head 10 to perform two-dimensional planar cutting above the glass.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, 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.
