Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat-reflective coated glass cutting equipment, specifically a heat-reflective coated glass cutting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Heat-reflective coated glass, as an energy-saving building material with high light transmittance and low radiation characteristics, is widely used in building curtain walls, automobile windows, high-end home appliances, and other fields. Cutting is one of the key processes in its production.
[0003] In existing technologies, heat-reflective coated glass cutting equipment typically includes a worktable, a cutting mechanism, and a clamping and positioning assembly. The clamping and positioning assembly often uses fixed clamps or vacuum suction cups to secure the glass to the worktable surface, and then the cutting blade moves along a preset trajectory to complete the cutting. However, in actual production scenarios, to protect the fragile coating layer, finished heat-reflective coated glass is usually stored in pairs with the coated surfaces touching each other. During cutting, this necessitates flipping the glass, but traditional equipment lacks a dedicated flipping mechanism, requiring manual flipping. For large-size, heavy heat-reflective coated glass (such as architectural curtain wall glass), manual flipping is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses a safety hazard due to improper operation, potentially causing the glass to slip and break or scratch the coating layer. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat-reflective coated glass cutting device. This device solves the problems of existing heat-reflective coated glass cutting devices, which lack a dedicated flipping mechanism for large-size, heavy glass, requiring manual flipping, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, prone to glass breakage or scratches on the coating layer, and poses safety hazards.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A heat-reflective coated glass cutting device includes a worktable for supporting the heat-reflective coated glass during cutting operations. The worktable provides a stable support foundation for the entire cutting operation and serves as a platform for placing the glass and performing various operations. Symmetrically arranged connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the worktable, serving both connecting and supporting functions and providing a fulcrum for the rotation of support rods. Support rods are fixedly connected to the connecting shafts, and these support rods are used to mount clamps, providing support and fixation for the clamps, and also providing a certain supporting structure for the glass flipping.
[0007] Furthermore, clamps are rotatably mounted on the ends of the support rods. These two clamps are used to clamp and limit the glass from both sides of the middle, firmly holding the glass in place and preventing displacement during cutting and flipping, ensuring cutting accuracy and flipping stability. The clamps include symmetrically arranged fixed and movable clamps. Limiting posts are symmetrically fixedly connected to the movable clamps, and limiting holes are symmetrically formed on the fixed clamps to slide against the limiting posts. The cooperation between the limiting posts and the limiting holes guides and limits the movement of the movable clamps, ensuring that the movable clamps can smoothly approach or move away from the fixed clamps.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing screw is threaded onto the movable clamping plate, with one end of the fixing screw rotatably connected to the fixed clamping plate, and the other end of the fixing screw fixedly connected to a turntable. By rotating the turntable, the fixing screw can be rotated, thereby pushing the movable clamping plate to move along the direction of the limiting post, realizing the clamping or releasing of the glass, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting post slides through the limiting hole and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. The limiting plate limits the maximum axial movement range of the limiting post within the limiting hole, preventing the limiting post from slipping out of the limiting hole and ensuring the stability of the fixture structure. A return spring is slidably sleeved on the limiting post. The two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate. When the fixing screw is loosened, the return spring can push the movable clamping plate to return to its original position, facilitating the removal or replacement of the glass.
[0010] Furthermore, an extension rod is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed clamp near the support rod. The end of the support rod has a slot that slides through the extension rod, and the extension rod slides through the slot and is fixedly connected to a limit block. The limit block restricts the maximum axial movement of the extension rod within the slot, preventing it from detaching. A stabilizing spring is fitted onto the extension rod, with its two ends contacting the fixed clamp and the support rod, respectively. Due to the varying widths of different types of glass, the stabilizing spring generates an elastic thrust, pushing the extension rod to slide within the slot. This, in turn, causes the entire clamp to move closer to the side of the glass, ensuring the clamp can adapt to glass of different widths and achieve stable clamping. Simultaneously, during glass flipping, the stabilizing spring maintains a certain elastic pressure between the fixed clamp and the support rod, enhancing the stability of the clamp during rotation and reducing glass sway.
[0011] Furthermore, a U-shaped flipping frame is provided on the worktable. The open end of the U-shaped flipping frame is detachably snapped into one end of the heat-reflective coated glass, which can firmly hold one end of the glass, providing a reliable connection point for pulling the glass to flip. A drive assembly is provided on the worktable to drive the U-shaped flipping frame to move horizontally along the length of the glass, providing power for the movement of the U-shaped flipping frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable, which provides the power source for the entire drive process. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A square slot is provided on the worktable, and the drive shaft extends into the interior of the square slot, providing space for the movement of the drive block. The drive block is slidably mounted inside the square slot, and is threadedly connected to the drive shaft. When the drive shaft rotates, it can drive the drive block to move axially within the square slot. The drive block is rotatably connected to the U-shaped flipping frame, allowing the U-shaped flipping frame to adjust its rotation according to the glass's flipping angle during movement, ensuring smooth glass flipping.
[0013] Furthermore, an angle limiting block is fixedly connected to the drive block, and an alignment groove is provided on the worktable. When the bottom end of the U-shaped flipping frame is in contact with the bottom end of the alignment groove, the bottom end of the inner wall of the U-shaped flipping frame and the top end of the worktable are at the same level. The cooperation between the angle limiting block and the alignment groove can ensure that the U-shaped flipping frame maintains good alignment with the worktable in the initial position, ensuring that the glass can be placed and snapped in place smoothly.
[0014] When the drive assembly moves the U-shaped flipping frame along the length of the glass, the U-shaped flipping frame pulls the glass around the connection between the flipping clamp and the support rod through the snap-fit end, so as to realize the flipping adjustment of the glass cut surface. There is no need to manually flip the glass, which improves the convenience and safety of operation.
[0015] Furthermore, to ensure that the glass is not damaged by pressure, rubber pads are installed on the working surfaces of the U-shaped frame and clamps to protect the glass.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model achieves automatic flipping and adjustment of the glass cutting surface by setting up a worktable, connecting shaft, support rod, clamp, U-shaped flipping frame and drive assembly, etc., eliminating the need for manual flipping of the glass. Especially for large-size, heavy heat-reflective coated glass, it greatly saves manpower and improves work efficiency.
[0018] 2. This utility model avoids problems such as glass slippage and breakage or scratches on the coating layer that may occur during manual flipping, thus improving operational safety and reducing unnecessary losses. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a heat-reflective coated glass cutting device includes a worktable 1 for supporting the heat-reflective coated glass during cutting operations. The worktable 1 provides a stable support foundation for the entire cutting operation and serves as a platform for placing the glass and performing various operations. Symmetrically arranged connecting shafts 2 are rotatably connected to the worktable 1. The connecting shafts 2 serve as connections and supports, providing a fulcrum for the rotation of support rods 3. Support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 2. The support rods 3 are used to mount clamps 4, providing support and fixation for the clamps 4, and also providing a certain support structure for the glass flipping.
[0030] Meanwhile, clamps 4 are rotatably mounted on the end of the support rod 3. The two clamps 4 are used to limit and hold the glass from both sides of the middle, which can firmly hold the glass and prevent it from shifting during cutting and flipping, ensuring the accuracy of cutting and the stability of flipping. The clamps 4 include a fixed clamping plate 401 and a movable clamping plate 402 arranged symmetrically. Limiting posts 403 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the movable clamping plate 402. Limiting holes 404 are symmetrically opened on the fixed clamping plate 401, which slide and cooperate with the limiting posts 403. The cooperation between the limiting posts 403 and the limiting holes 404 plays a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the movable clamping plate 402, ensuring that the movable clamping plate 402 can smoothly approach or move away from the fixed clamping plate 401.
[0031] A fixed screw 405 is threaded onto the movable clamping plate 402. One end of the fixed screw 405 is rotatably connected to the fixed clamping plate 401, and the other end of the fixed screw 405 is fixedly connected to a turntable 406. By rotating the turntable 406, the fixed screw 405 can be rotated, thereby pushing the movable clamping plate 402 to move along the direction of the limiting post 403, realizing the clamping or releasing of the glass. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0032] The limiting post 403 slides through the limiting hole 404 and is fixedly connected to the limiting piece 407. The limiting piece 407 is used to limit the maximum axial movement range of the limiting post 403 within the limiting hole 404, preventing the limiting post 403 from slipping out of the limiting hole 404 and ensuring the stability of the fixture 4 structure. A return spring 408 is slidably sleeved on the limiting post 403. The two ends of the return spring 408 are respectively in contact with the fixed clamping plate 401 and the movable clamping plate 402. When the fixing screw 405 is loosened, the return spring 408 can push the movable clamping plate 402 to reset, making it easy to remove or replace the glass.
[0033] An extension rod 409 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed clamping plate 401 near the support rod 3. The end of the support rod 3 has a rotating groove 410 that slides through the extension rod 409. The extension rod 409 slides through the rotating groove 410 and is fixedly connected to a limiting block 411. The limiting block 411 restricts the maximum axial movement of the extension rod 409 within the rotating groove 410, preventing the extension rod 409 from detaching from the rotating groove 410. A stabilizing spring 412 is fitted onto the extension rod 409, with both ends of the stabilizing spring 412 contacting and connecting to the fixed clamping plate 401 and the support rod 3, respectively. Since different glass widths vary, the stabilizing spring 412 generates an elastic thrust, pushing the extension rod 409 to slide within the rotating groove 410, thereby causing the clamp 4 to move closer to the side of the glass. This ensures that the clamp 4 can adapt to glass of different widths and achieve stable clamping. At the same time, during the glass flipping process, the stabilizing spring 412 can also maintain a certain elastic pressure between the fixed clamping plate 401 and the support rod 3, enhancing the stability of the clamp 4 during rotation and reducing the swaying of the glass.
[0034] A U-shaped tilting frame 5 is installed on the worktable 1. The open end of the U-shaped tilting frame is detachably snapped into one end of the heat-reflective coated glass, which can firmly hold one end of the glass and provide a reliable connection point for pulling the glass to tilt. A drive assembly 6 is installed on the worktable 1 to drive the U-shaped tilting frame 5 to move horizontally along the length of the glass. The drive assembly 6 provides power for the movement of the U-shaped tilting frame 5.
[0035] The drive assembly 6 includes a drive motor 601 fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable 1, which provides the power source for the entire drive process. A drive shaft 602 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 601. A square slot 603 is provided on the worktable 1, and the drive shaft 602 extends into the interior of the square slot 603, providing space for the movement of the drive block 604. The drive block 604 is slidably mounted inside the square slot 603, and is threadedly connected to the drive shaft 602. When the drive shaft 602 rotates, it drives the drive block 604 to move axially within the square slot 603. The drive block 604 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped flipping frame 5, allowing the U-shaped flipping frame 5 to rotate and adjust accordingly based on the glass's flipping angle during movement, ensuring smooth glass flipping.
[0036] An angle limiting block 605 is fixedly connected to the drive block 604, and an alignment groove 606 is provided on the worktable 1. When the bottom end of the U-shaped flipping frame 5 is in contact with the bottom end of the alignment groove 606, the bottom end of the inner wall of the U-shaped flipping frame and the top end of the worktable 1 are at the same level. The cooperation between the angle limiting block 605 and the alignment groove 606 can ensure that the U-shaped flipping frame 5 maintains good alignment with the worktable 1 in the initial position, ensuring that the glass can be placed and snapped in place stably.
[0037] When the drive assembly 6 moves the U-shaped flipping frame 5 along the length of the glass, the U-shaped flipping frame pulls the glass around the connection between the flipping clamp 4 and the support rod 3 through the snap-fit end, so as to realize the flipping adjustment of the glass cutting surface. There is no need to manually flip the glass, which improves the convenience and safety of operation.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] In the initial state, the bottom end of the U-shaped flip frame is attached to the bottom end of the alignment groove 606. At this time, the bottom end of the inner wall of the U-shaped flip frame 5 is at the same level as the top end of the worktable 1. The heat-reflective coated glass to be cut is placed on the worktable 1, so that one end of the glass is aligned with the opening end of the U-shaped flip frame 5.
[0040] Due to the varying widths of the glass, the stabilizing spring 412 pushes the extension rod 409 to slide within the rotating groove 410, causing the clamp 4 to move closer to the side of the glass. Subsequently, rotating the turntable 406 on the clamp 4 causes the fixing screw 405 to rotate. Because the fixing screw 405 is threadedly connected to the moving clamping plate 402, and the limiting post 403 slides and guides within the limiting hole 404, the moving clamping plate 402 moves closer to the fixing clamping plate 401 until the middle two sides of the glass are securely clamped. During this process, the return spring 408 is compressed to store elastic potential energy, and the further movement of the extension rod 409 compresses the stabilizing spring 412, enhancing clamping stability.
[0041] Attach one end of the glass to the open end of the U-shaped flip frame 5 to complete the installation and fixation of the glass.
[0042] When the cutting mechanism is started to cut the glass, and the glass cut surface needs to be flipped and adjusted after the cutting is completed, the drive motor 601 of the drive assembly 6 is started.
[0043] The drive motor 601 drives the drive shaft 602 to rotate. Since the drive block 604 is threadedly connected to the drive shaft 602 and slides in the square groove 603, the drive block 604 will move along the square groove 603 away from the initial position of the glass, thereby driving the U-shaped flipping frame 5 to move horizontally along the length of the glass.
[0044] The U-shaped flipping frame pulls the glass through the snap-fit end. Under the pull, the glass rotates around the connection between the clamp 4 and the support rod 3, thus flipping the cut surface of the glass. During the flipping process, the drive block 604 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped flipping frame 5, ensuring that the U-shaped flipping frame 5 can be adjusted accordingly with the rotation of the glass. At the same time, the extension rod 409 moves adaptively within the rotating groove 410, and the stabilizing spring 412 plays a buffering and stabilizing role.
[0045] Once the glass is flipped to the desired angle, the drive motor 601 is turned off. At this point, the cut surface of the flipped glass can be processed or further processed.
