Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass edging machine technology, and in particular to a width detection device for a glass edging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Glass edging machines are specialized equipment used for grinding and polishing the edges and corners of glass, and are among the most commonly used pieces of equipment in deep glass processing. A glass edging machine integrates rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing, and chamfering processes in one operation. It can grind various irregular edge shapes such as rounded edges, straight edges, and duckbill edges. It uses a frequency converter for speed regulation, offering a wide adjustable range and smooth speed changes. The feeding speed and feed rate can be adjusted during the grinding process.

[0003] Existing glass edging machines are equipped with digital display control or PLC computer control. Before processing glass, the width and thickness of the glass need to be measured and the data input into the control system. This allows the glass edging machine to adjust its opening and closing width, clamping frame height, and chamfering height to suit the width and height of the glass to be processed. Then, the glass is manually transported onto the edging machine for processing. Moreover, current technology generally involves workers measuring with a tape measure, manually inputting the measurement data via a touch screen, and adjusting the relevant parameters. This measurement method suffers from significant errors, cumbersome operation, low automation, high labor intensity, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish and describe features, without any order or emphasis.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 2 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a width detection device for a glass edging machine includes a frame 1, a transmission roller group 2 disposed on the frame 1, a detection mechanism 3, and a guide wheel group 4;

[0024] The guide wheel group 4 is located on one side of the transmission roller group 2, and a plurality of guide wheels of the guide wheel group 4 are arranged sequentially along the transmission direction of the transmission roller group 2.

[0025] The detection mechanism 3 includes a linear guide rail 31 installed on the frame 1. A fixed seat 32 is installed on the moving end of the linear guide rail 31. A sensing probe 33 and a telescopic assembly 34 are installed on the fixed seat 32. A baffle 343 is rotatably installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 34. The sensing probe 33 and the baffle 343 are located directly above the transmission roller group 2. The sensing probe 33 is located between the guide wheel group 4 and the baffle 343.

[0026] The linear guide rail 31 is equipped with a magnetic scale, which is used to detect the displacement of the fixed base 32.

[0027] Specifically, when the glass is conveyed to the area directly below the detection mechanism 3 via the transfer roller group 2, the sensing probe 33 of the detection mechanism 3 detects the presence of glass. Then, the linear guide rail 31 drives the fixed base 32 to move the sensing probe 33 away from the guide wheel group 4 until the sensing probe 33 can no longer detect glass. Then, the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 34 moves downward, and the fixed base 32 moves, causing the sensing probe 33 to move towards the guide wheel group 4. At the same time, the magnetic scale is activated. During the movement, the baffle 343 contacts the glass and pushes the glass towards the guide wheel group 4. When the sidewall of the glass is in close contact with the guide wheel group 4... When the glass does not move, the baffle 343 rotates to prevent the baffle 343 from squeezing and damaging the glass. When the sensing probe 33 does not detect the glass, the fixed seat 32 stops moving. During the process of the fixed seat 32 moving and driving the sensing probe 33 to move towards the guide wheel group 4, the moving distance of the fixed seat 32 from the time the sensing probe 33 detects the glass to the time when the sensing probe 33 no longer detects the glass is obtained by the magnetic scale. This moving distance is the width of the glass, so that the subsequent edge grinding equipment can select the matching processing method according to the obtained glass width.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic assembly 34 includes a first cylinder 341 mounted on the fixed base 32, a rotating shaft 342 fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the first cylinder 341, and a baffle 343 rotatably mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 342.

[0029] Specifically, the first cylinder 341 drives the rotating shaft 342 to move, thereby causing the baffle 343 to move up and down directly above the transmission roller group 2 to adapt to glass of different thicknesses.

[0030] It is worth noting that the friction between the baffle 343 and the rotating shaft 342 is relatively large, requiring a large pushing force to push the baffle 343 to rotate around the rotating shaft 342. Therefore, when the glass is not obstructed, the glass can be moved by pushing it through the baffle 343.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of baffle posts 344 are installed at the bottom end of the baffle 343, and the plurality of baffle posts 344 are arranged alternately with the plurality of transmission rollers of the transmission roller group 2.

[0032] Specifically, by setting up baffles 344 that are interleaved with several transmission rollers, it is possible to prevent the baffle 343 from colliding with the transmission rollers when it moves down, and by having several baffles 344 contact the side wall of the glass, the glass can be effectively pushed to move.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a second cylinder 35 installed on the fixed base 32, and the sensing probe 33 is installed on the telescopic end of the second cylinder 35.

[0034] Specifically, the height of the sensing probe 33 can be adjusted by the second cylinder 35 to accommodate glass of different thicknesses, thereby increasing the applicability of the device.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a third cylinder 36 installed on the fixed base 32. The telescopic end of the third cylinder 36 is equipped with a first pressure plate 361. A first pressure roller 362 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the first pressure plate 361. The first pressure roller 362 is located directly above the transmission roller group 2.

[0036] Specifically, the first pressure plate 361 is moved up and down by the third cylinder 36, so that the first pressure roller 362 presses against the top of the glass, thereby cooperating with the transmission roller group 2 to transport the glass and avoiding the phenomenon of the glass lifting during subsequent edge grinding.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a support column 5 installed on the frame 1. A fourth cylinder 51 is installed on the side wall of the support column 5. A second pressure plate 52 is installed on the telescopic end of the fourth cylinder 51. A second pressure roller 53 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the second pressure plate 52. The second pressure roller 53 is located directly above the transmission roller group 2.

[0038] Specifically, the second pressure plate 52 is moved up and down by the fourth cylinder 51, so that the second pressure roller 52 presses against the top of the glass, thereby cooperating with the transmission roller group 2 to transport the glass and avoiding the phenomenon of the glass lifting during subsequent edge grinding.

[0039] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
