Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cutting device, and more particularly to a tempered glass positioning and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Cutting is an essential step in the production of tempered glass. Typically, the glass needs to be precisely cut before tempering to ensure the quality and efficiency of subsequent processing.

[0003] Glass cutting typically involves two steps: first, cutting grooves into the glass surface; and second, using these grooves to separate the glass. During the cutting stage, existing cutting equipment mostly relies on manual or semi-automatic methods for positioning and cutting. This involves manually marking the positions and dimensions to be cut using tools such as rulers and tape measures. This results in low overall production efficiency, especially when dealing with complex cuts, and is prone to human error, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-precision cutting. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass positioning and cutting device with an automatic cutting and positioning component, which improves the cutting precision and accuracy, has strong applicability in use, and can automatically perform processing.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A tempered glass positioning and cutting device, comprising a base, a transmission component 1, a slide block 1, a cylinder, a motor 1, a cutting machine, a motor 2, a cutting head telescopic rod, and a vision positioning device. Drive components are located on both the front and rear sides of the lower part of the base. A transmission component 1 is located on the front side of the upper part of the base, and a slide block 1 is mounted on the transmission component 1. The transmission component 1 drives the slide block 1 to move back and forth. A cylinder is installed on the left side of the slide block 1, and the cylinder is vertically positioned. A motor 1 is located at the end of the cylinder's movable rod. The output shaft of the motor 1 is connected to the cutting machine. A cutting head is rotatably mounted on the lower part of the cutting machine. A motor 2 is located on one side of the cutting machine, and the output shaft of the motor 2 is connected to one side of the upper part of the cutting head. The motor 2 drives one end of the cutting head to swing. Telescopic rods are located on both the front and rear sides of the lower part of the base, and vision positioning devices are rotatably mounted on the upper part of each telescopic rod.

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes a second transmission component, a second slide, and a mounting base. The second transmission component is located on the upper part of the base. The second transmission component is arranged in the same direction as the first transmission component. The second slide is mounted on the second transmission component. The mounting base is located on the left side of the second slide. When the mounting base moves, it does not interfere with the cutting machine.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes a dust processor and a hose. A flue gas treatment gas is fixedly installed on the front side of the base, and a hose is provided on the flue gas treatment gas. A section of the hose is connected to the rear of the slide, and one end of the hose opening faces the cutting head.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes a support frame and a pressure plate. The front and rear sides of the cutting machine are equipped with support frames, and the lower part of the support frame is connected to a pressure plate through an elastic element.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes a housing and a medium connector. The cutting head is surrounded by a medium connector, the housing is hollow, and the housing is equipped with two medium connectors that are connected to the internal space of the housing.

[0010] This invention utilizes an advanced visual positioning device and intelligent control system to automatically identify and accurately position the cutting path of glass. Compared with existing cutting equipment that mostly relies on manual or semi-automatic positioning and cutting, this invention eliminates the need for human intervention, greatly reducing human error and significantly improving cutting accuracy and efficiency.

[0011] This invention, by incorporating a fume processor, promptly treats particulate matter or fumes generated during cutting, maintaining a clean working environment, reducing the impact of harmful gases and particulate matter on the health of operators, and improving safety during the production process.

[0012] This invention creates a sealed cooling environment by tightly wrapping the cutting head with a housing. Cooling medium is introduced through a medium connector and circulates within the housing, carrying away the heat generated during the cutting process and keeping the operating temperature of the cutting head within a reasonable range. This not only reduces wear and deformation of the cutting head caused by high temperatures but also significantly improves cutting quality and efficiency, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0018] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments.

The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] A tempered glass positioning and cutting device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a transmission component 2, a slide 3, a cylinder 31, a motor 32, a cutting machine 33, a second motor 34, a cutting head 35, a telescopic rod 4, and a vision positioning device 41. The base 1 is the basic frame of the entire device. Drive components are installed on both the front and rear sides of its lower part to provide power support for the movement of the entire system. During installation, the entire device is mounted on the cutting table that carries the glass. The cutting table is equipped with transmission components to cooperate with the drive components in the base 1, so that the entire cutting device can be positioned and moved. The front side of the upper part of the base 1 is equipped with a transmission component 2. The transmission component 2 is connected to the base 1 with high-strength bolts to ensure the stability and accuracy of the transmission process. The transmission component 2 is equipped with a slide 3. The slide 3 is connected to the transmission component 2 through a ball screw or linear guide rail, so that it can achieve precise movement in the front and rear directions. The transmission component 2 is equipped with a servo motor, which drives the slide 3 to move back and forth via gears or belts, ensuring high-precision control of the tool position during cutting. A cylinder 31 is mounted on the left side of the slide 3, vertically positioned with its bottom fixed to the slide 3. A motor 32 is located at the end of the movable rod. The motor 32 is connected to the movable rod of the cylinder 31 via a coupling, ensuring synchronized operation. A cutting machine 33 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 32. The cutting machine 33 can be a blade or a laser cutting device, depending on the processing requirements. A cutting head 35 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cutting machine 33, connected to the cutting machine 33 via bearings, allowing it to rotate freely in the vertical direction. A second motor 34 is located on one side of the cutting machine 33, its output shaft connected to the upper side of the cutting head 35 via a linkage mechanism. The second motor 34 drives one end of the cutting head 35 to swing, achieving cutting operations at different angles. This design allows the cutting head 35 to move not only vertically but also horizontally, greatly improving cutting flexibility and precision.

[0021] The base 1 has telescopic rods 4 on both the front and rear sides at the bottom. A visual positioning device 41 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of each telescopic rod 4. The telescopic rods 4 are height-adjustable by hydraulic or electric means to ensure that the visual positioning device 41 can position the glass at different heights. The visual positioning device 41 uses a high-resolution camera and image processing algorithm to capture feature points on the glass surface in real time and transmit the data to the control system. The control system automatically adjusts the cutting path based on the information provided by the visual positioning device 41 to ensure cutting accuracy and quality. In addition, the adjustable settings of the visual positioning device 41 allow users to flexibly adjust it according to different glass sizes and shapes, enhancing the applicability of the device.

[0022] Throughout the process, the device achieves efficient tempered glass cutting through the following steps:

[0023] Positioning Phase: The vision positioning device 41 first scans the tempered glass placed on the base 1, capturing the position information of the glass edge and preset marker points. This information is converted into coordinate data through an image processing algorithm and transmitted to the control system. Path Planning: Based on the coordinate data provided by the vision positioning device 41 and combined with the preset cutting path, the control system generates detailed cutting instructions and sends them to each execution component. Cutting Preparation: The slide block 3 moves back and forth to the designated position along the predetermined path under the drive of the transmission component 2. At the same time, the cylinder 31 actuates, raising the motor 32 and the cutting machine 33 to an appropriate height, ensuring that the cutting head 35 maintains a suitable working distance from the glass surface. Cutting Execution: The motor 32 starts, driving the cutting machine 33 to begin working. The motor 34 adjusts the angle of the cutting head 35 in a timely manner according to the requirements of the cutting path, ensuring that the cutting head always maintains optimal contact with the glass surface. During the cutting process, the vision positioning device 41 continuously monitors the glass status to ensure the accuracy and stability of the cutting path. Cutting Completion: When the cutting task is completed, each execution component resets, waiting for the next cutting instruction.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tempered glass positioning and cutting device further includes a second transmission component 5, a second slide 51, and a mounting base 52. The upper part of the base 1 is equipped with a second transmission component 5 that is aligned with the direction of the first transmission component 2, ensuring that the movement directions of the two transmission components are synchronized and coordinated. This synchronous design not only ensures the stability of the first transmission component 2 and the second transmission component 5 during operation, but also improves the movement accuracy of the entire device, reduces errors and vibrations caused by asynchrony, and thus improves the overall work efficiency and reliability.

[0026] The transmission component 2 5 is equipped with a slide 2 51, which is connected to the transmission component 2 5 via a precision guide rail, allowing it to move smoothly along its axial direction under the drive of the transmission component 2 5. A mounting seat 52 is located on the left side of the slide 2 51, which is connected to the slide 2 51 by bolts or clips to ensure stability during movement. The mounting seat 52 is used to mount marking components (such as labeling machines or printing machines), and its movement does not interfere with the cutting machine 33, ensuring the independence and safety of marking and cutting operations. This design allows marking and cutting to be performed at different times, avoiding conflicts between the two and improving overall production efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, when a marking operation is required, the transmission component 2 5 drives the slide 2 51 to move to a suitable position. At this time, the marking component on the mounting base 52 can mark or label the glass. Since there is enough space between the mounting base 52 and the cutting machine 33, the slide 2 51 can be quickly moved away after the marking operation is completed, making room for the subsequent cutting operation. In this way, not only can the collision between the marking component and the cutting head 35 be avoided, but the marking and cutting processes can also be ensured to not interfere with each other, which significantly improves the utilization rate and work efficiency of the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, the synchronous design of transmission component 25 and transmission component 12 allows multiple functional modules to be arranged on the same working platform at the same time. For example, cutting can be performed immediately after marking, or more processing steps can be integrated on the same workstation, which further optimizes the production process and reduces production costs.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes a fume processor 6 and a hose 61. The fume processor 6 is fixedly installed on the front side of the base 1. The fume processor 6 is equipped with a hose 61. One end of the hose 61 is connected to the rear of the slide block 3, and one end of the hose 61 faces the cutting head 35. When the cutting work is in progress, the fume processor 6 is activated simultaneously. This design ensures that the debris or fumes generated during the cutting process can be sucked in and treated in a timely manner, keeping the working environment clean and reducing the impact of dust or harmful gases generated during laser cutting on the operators.

[0030] Specifically, the hose 61 is fixedly connected to the rear of the slide block 3 via a flexible connector. This flexible connection not only ensures that the hose 61 can flexibly adjust its position as the slide block 3 moves, but also ensures that the opening of the hose 61 always faces the cutting head 35, effectively capturing debris or fumes generated during the cutting process.

[0031] In addition, the fume processor 6 is interlocked with the cutting machine control system. When the cutting head 35 starts working, the fume processor 6 automatically starts to ensure that the two work together. This linkage design makes the fume treatment process completely synchronized with the cutting process, avoiding the fume leakage problem caused by delayed start-up or shutdown, and further improving the safety and comfort of the working environment.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the device also includes a support frame 7 and a pressure plate 71. The cutting machine 33 is equipped with support frames 7 on both the front and rear sides. The lower part of the support frame 7 is connected to the pressure plate 71 through an elastic element (such as a spring). The pressure plate 71 first contacts the glass surface to ensure that the glass surface is flat and stable before the cutting head 35 works, thereby improving the cutting accuracy and preventing the glass from cracking or breaking due to instability.

[0033] Specifically, the support frame 7 is mounted on both the front and rear sides of the cutting machine 33 by robust fasteners, ensuring its structural stability and reliability. The elastic element at the bottom of the support frame 7 connects to the pressure plate 71, allowing the pressure plate 71 to provide appropriate cushioning force when in contact with the glass. When the cutting head 35 approaches the glass, the pressure plate 71 first contacts the glass surface and, through the action of the elastic element, flattens the glass surface, ensuring its stability during the cutting process. This design not only improves cutting accuracy but also effectively avoids cracks or breakage caused by glass instability, guaranteeing product quality.

[0034] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the device also includes a housing 8 and media connectors 81. The cutting head 35 is surrounded by the housing 8, which is hollow inside and has two media connectors 81. The media connectors 81 communicate with the internal space of the housing 8 to transmit cooling media and cool the cutting head 35. This design effectively solves the problem of wear and deformation of the cutting head 35 caused by high temperature during the cutting process, extends the service life of the equipment, and improves cutting quality and efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the housing 8 tightly surrounds the cutting head 35, forming a sealed cooling environment. The hollow portion inside the housing 8 allows cooling media (such as coolant or gas) to be introduced through the media connector 81. This cooling media circulates within the housing 8, carrying away the heat generated during cutting and maintaining the operating temperature of the cutting head 35 within a reasonable range. This efficient cooling system not only reduces wear and deformation of the cutting head 35 caused by high temperatures but also significantly improves cutting quality and efficiency, extending the equipment's service life.

[0036] Although this disclosure has been shown and described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Therefore, the scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the above embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by their equivalents.
