Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting equipment technology, and in particular to a device for laser cutting glass tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Glass tubes are tubular items made of glass, which can be made from various glass materials, such as borosilicate glass and soda-lime glass. In the semiconductor industry, glass tubes used for chip packaging need to be precisely cut at the micron or even nanometer level to ensure that the chip's sealing and performance are not affected. Traditional cutting methods struggle to achieve such high precision, while laser cutting equipment can achieve high-precision cutting by precisely controlling the focusing and movement of the laser beam, meeting these fine processing requirements.

[0003] Place the glass tube on the worktable and fix it in place. Set the laser power, frequency, pulse width, cutting speed, and spot size in the control system according to the material, thickness, and cutting dimensions. Then start the device; the laser generates a laser beam, which is focused onto the surface of the glass tube by the optical system, causing it to absorb heat and melt or vaporize. During cutting, the worktable or glass tube moves along the preset path and speed. After cutting, the laser beam is turned off, the glass tube is removed, cleaned, and inspected; any imperfections can be repaired or polished.

[0004] In existing technologies, some laser cutting devices for glass tubes experience deviations during the laser cutting process, resulting in cutting defects such as uneven and rough edges, burrs, and chipped edges. This affects the overall aesthetics of the product and reduces its quality. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a laser cutting device for glass tubes is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

Two connecting plates 29 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of multiple support legs 28 by welding, thereby providing stable support for the connecting plates 29;

[0037] A square upright plate 30 is fixedly connected to the top side of the connecting plate 29. A drive wheel 31 is fixedly connected to the left side of the drive assembly, and a threaded rod 25 is fixedly connected to the right side of the drive wheel 31 on the left side, allowing the threaded rod 25 to drive the drive wheel 31 to slide synchronously. A belt 32 is fitted around the drive wheel 31 to transmit power. Driven columns 33 are rotatably connected inside the two upright plates 30, allowing them to rotate stably. A driven wheel 34 is fixedly connected to the left end of the driven column 33, driving the driven column 33 to rotate synchronously. The driven wheel 34 is fitted inside the belt 32, transmitting rotational force to the driven wheel 34. Eccentric wheels 35 are fixedly connected to both ends of the driven column 33, driving the two eccentric wheels 35 to rotate synchronously.

[0038] Multiple support legs 28 each have a rectangular, rectangular, strip-shaped opening 36 on one adjacent side. A guide block 37 is slidably connected inside each support leg 28, sliding within the support leg 28 through the strip-shaped opening 36. The guide block 37 is also slidably connected to the inside of the strip-shaped opening 36, with a tight fit to ensure stable sliding within the opening 36. A collection frame 38 is fixedly connected to one adjacent side of each guide block 37. The collection frame 38 collects glass debris and glass tubes generated during cutting. Two eccentric wheels 35 are in close contact with the bottom of the collection frame 38, providing vertical vibration power to the collection frame 38 during rotation, allowing the debris and glass tubes to be utilized. A filter plate 39 is fixedly connected inside the collection frame 38, filtering cutting debris and separating welding particles and the cut glass tubes. Two of the support legs 28 are externally fixedly connected to receiving plates 40, which are used to receive the cut glass tubes for easy collection and sorting by operators.

[0039] Working principle: First, the glass tube is placed in the V-shaped opening 2 on the surface of the support platform 1. At this time, the electric push rod 4 is activated to drive the connecting plate 5 to slide downward. Then, under the action of gravity, the positioning plate 9 and the bottom V-shaped opening 2 are engaged with the glass tube and will press against the positioning plate 9, so that the positioning plate 9 can push the two sliding columns 6 to slide and squeeze the two springs 7. The springs 7 can store elastic potential energy, and then give the positioning plate 9 a force in the opposite direction to fit against the glass tube, avoiding scratches and preventing displacement, thereby improving stability and cutting quality.

[0040] Simultaneously, motor 24 is started to drive threaded rod 25 to rotate, which in turn drives one of the sliding blocks 26 to slide, thereby driving push plate 27 to slide to the right and pushing glass tube to slide to the right for feeding. At this time, Bezier cutting head 20 starts working using the Bezier curve principle to perform preliminary cutting on glass tube. Then, carbon dioxide cleaving head 21 also starts working, using the energy of carbon dioxide laser to act on glass tube, causing cracks to appear on the surface of glass tube. Under the action of electric guide rail 17, it drives slider 18 to slide, thereby driving side plate 19 to slide, and then driving Bezier cutting head 20 and carbon dioxide cleaving head 21 to move. The glass tube splitter 21 and the glass tube splitter 23 slide together. After both the Bezier cutting head 20 and the carbon dioxide splitter 21 have finished working, the hydraulic cylinder 22 drives the glass tube splitter 23 to press against the glass tube and drop it onto the electric push rod 4. The glass then falls onto the filter plate 39 along with the receiving plate 40, accompanied by cutting debris. The second cylinder 14 drives the rubber plate 15 to slide downward and press against the glass tube. Then, the first cylinder 11 drives the convex plate 12 to slide. The sliding force is transmitted to the rubber plate 15 through the fixed plate 13, so that the rubber plate 15 can push the glass tube to rotate 90 degrees. This process is repeated four times.

[0041] Meanwhile, the threaded rod 25 drives the drive wheel 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 34 to rotate. The driven wheel 34 drives the driven column 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel 35 to push the collection frame 38 to slide up and down, and pushes the filter plate 39 to slide up and down. Utilizing the filtering and tilting effect of the filter plate 39, the debris falls into the inside of the collection frame 38 through the filter plate 39, while the glass tube rolls to the left end of the collection frame 38 for collection, thereby achieving automatic separation of the glass tube and cutting debris, and thus improving work efficiency.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing 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.
