Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a glass processing center. Background Technology
[0002] Glass processing centers are an advanced processing technology that integrates the functions of multiple glass processing equipment. This technology can independently fulfill various glass processing requirements, including edging, polishing, drilling, milling, and other operations. Glass processing centers typically employ CNC numerical control systems, concentrating multiple traditional glass processing steps onto a single machine, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality while saving significant labor costs.
[0003] Most glass processing centers use a dual-head design to improve processing efficiency. During processing, the head needs a lifting device to move the head up and down. However, the head is heavy, which puts a heavy load on the lifting device. Frequent lifting processes can cause wear and aging of the lifting device, affecting processing accuracy and the service life of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, a glass processing center is proposed to solve them. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a glass processing center that can balance the weight of the machine head and alleviate the lifting load on the machine head.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows: a glass processing center, including a base, a first support column symmetrically arranged on the base, a second support column symmetrically arranged on the base, and a processing head arranged between the first support column and the second support column; the processing head moves along the first support column through a lifting structure, the lifting structure including a counterweight block, the counterweight block being connected to the processing head, and the counterweight block balancing the weight of the processing head.
[0007] The processing head uses counterweights to balance its weight, reducing the load on the lifting structure during the lifting process and extending its service life.
[0008] Preferably, the counterweight of the lifting structure is located on the side of the first support column away from the processing head. The counterweight is connected to the processing head through multiple chains, which are mounted on multiple sprockets. The sprockets rotate above the first support column.
[0009] The processing head is connected to a counterweight via a chain. The counterweight, through the chain and sprocket, pulls the processing head upward, balancing its weight and reducing the pressure on it during lifting and lowering. This facilitates the lifting and lowering of the processing head. The glass is transported to the middle of the two processing heads via a conveying device for processing.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting structure also includes a first guide rail, and multiple first guide rails are arranged on the side of the first support column near the second support column. The processing head slides on the multiple first guide rails. A moving motor is arranged on the processing head, and a first gear is arranged at the output end of the moving motor. The first gear meshes with a first rack. The first rack is arranged on the first support column, and the first gear meshes with a first felt gear.
[0011] The moving motor drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear and the first rack cooperate to drive the processing head to slide along the first guide rail.
[0012] Preferably, the lifting structure also includes a second guide rail. Multiple second guide rails are arranged on the side of the first support column away from the second support column. Counterweights are slidably connected on the multiple second guide rails. The chains on the counterweights are connected to connecting blocks, and the connecting blocks are arranged on the processing machine head.
[0013] Preferably, the lifting structure also includes a mounting beam, which is symmetrically arranged on the first support column and connected to the support beam. The support beam is arranged above the symmetrical second support column. Multiple sprockets are rotatably arranged inside the mounting beam, and chains are arranged on the sprockets. At least two connecting grooves are provided under the mounting beam, and the chains pass through the connecting grooves.
[0014] The counterweight is slidably connected to the first support column via the second guide rail, and multiple sprockets serve as guides to prevent the chain from interfering with the equipment.
[0015] Preferably, multiple mounting brackets are provided between the first support column and the second support column. The mounting brackets are installed on the first support column and the second support column on the same side, and multiple support wheels are horizontally arranged on the mounting brackets.
[0016] Preferably, multiple sets of mounting seats are provided between the first support column and the second support column. The mounting seats are located on the first support column and the second support column on the side away from the mounting frame. A rotating shaft is provided between the mounting seats in the same set. Connecting plates are symmetrically arranged on the rotating shaft. Pressure rollers are rotatably arranged on the connecting plates. A swing arm is also provided on the rotating shaft. The swing arm is hinged to the output end of the cylinder. The cylinder is hinged to the connecting seat. The connecting seats are respectively located on the first support column and the second support column.
[0017] Multiple support rollers support the glass, and the pressure roller and support rollers work together to fix the glass. The cylinder pushes the swing arm to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft, the connecting plate rotates, so that the pressure roller presses onto the glass, preventing the glass from swaying left and right during processing.
[0018] Preferably, a fixed beam is set between the first support columns, a fixed beam is set between the second support columns, a fixed platform is set between the fixed beams, an adjusting motor is set on the fixed platform, the adjusting motor is connected to the second gear, the second gear is located below the fixed platform, the second gear meshes with the second rack, the second rack is set on the tool changer, a third guide rail is set on the tool changer and slides with the fixed platform, a second felt gear is rotatably set on the fixed platform, and the second felt gear meshes with the second gear.

[0020] The effects provided in the utility model description are merely those of the embodiments, and not all the effects of the utility model. The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0021] The processing head is connected to a counterweight via a chain. The counterweight, through the chain and sprocket, pulls the processing head upward, balancing its weight and reducing the pressure on it during lifting and lowering.

The processing head 4 is connected to the counterweight 5 via the chains 6 and sprockets 7, which pull the processing head 4 upwards, balancing its weight, reducing pressure on the processing head 4 during lifting, and facilitating its movement. Glass is transported between the two processing heads 4 via a feeding device for processing.
[0035] The lifting structure also includes first guide rails 8. Multiple first guide rails 8 are arranged on the side of the first support column 2 near the second support column 3.
