Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the glass processing industry, waterjet cutting technology has become an important tool in glass cutting operations due to its advantages such as high precision and no heat-affected zone. However, to ensure high precision and stability during waterjet cutting, the glass sheet needs to remain absolutely still and precisely positioned during the cutting process. Traditional fixing methods are no longer sufficient to meet the current demands for high-efficiency, high-quality production.

[0003] In existing waterjet cutting processes, glass sheets are mostly fixed manually or using simple support structures, lacking specially designed fixing devices. This method is rather crude and easily causes displacement or vibration of the glass sheet during cutting, which not only reduces the accuracy of glass cutting but also increases the risk of glass breakage. Therefore, we propose an efficient and stable fixing device for waterjet cutting, which is of great significance for improving the waterjet cutting process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a fixing device for glass water cutting.

[0005] Technical Solution: A fixing device for waterjet cutting of glass includes a water tank frame and support plates. The water tank frame is the main assembly body of the fixing device. The water tank frame contains a water tank to receive the water jet from the waterjet cutting process. Multiple support plates are fixedly installed at intervals on the top of the water tank frame, with the support surfaces of the multiple support plates on the same horizontal plane. The support plates are the load-bearing carriers of the fixing device. The device also includes connecting plates, fixing plates, a first rubber block, a sliding plate, a second rubber block, a first motor, and threaded rods. Connecting plates are symmetrically and slidably arranged on both sides of the water tank frame, and multiple support plates are fixedly connected at intervals on each connecting plate. The device comprises fewer than two fixing plates, the lower part of which is an "L"-shaped plate. An "L"-shaped rubber block is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the fixing plate. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the fixing plate, and the sliding plate is penetrated by the fixing plate and the rubber block. A second rubber block is mounted on the bottom surface of the sliding plate near the rubber block. A motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the side of the fixing plate away from the rubber block. The "L"-shaped plate and the sliding plate of the fixing plate form a clamp for holding the glass. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the threaded rod and the sliding plate are threadedly engaged.

[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the top surface of the lower part of the rubber block one is slightly higher than the support plane of the support plate, and the lower end of the rubber block one is a slope, and the rubber block two is embedded in the bottom surface of the sliding plate, and the rubber block two protrudes from the bottom surface of the sliding plate.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that bearing plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the water tank frame, and the bearing plates are rotatably connected to a two-way lead screw through bearings. The two-way threads of the two-way lead screw are respectively threaded with the corresponding connecting plates on the same side. The outer side of the water tank frame is also provided with an adjusting component for adjusting the distance between the connecting plates. The adjusting component can symmetrically adjust the distance between the two fixed plates through the connecting plates.

[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the adjusting component consists of a worm and a worm wheel, with the worm wheel fixedly mounted on the body of the bidirectional lead screw, and the worm symmetrically rotatably connected to the outer side of the water tank frame. The worm wheel and the worm are threaded together, and the worm drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate through the worm wheel. The self-locking property of the worm and the worm wheel ensures that the connecting plate with the adjusted spacing remains stable.

[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that motors two are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the water tank frame. The output shaft of the motor two is connected to the worm gear. By synchronously driving the worm gear to rotate through the motors two on both sides, the worm gear and the worm wheel can quickly drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thereby efficiently adjusting the clamping distance of the fixed glass between the connecting plates.

[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that a pressure sensor 1 is installed on one side of the fixed plate, the pressure sensing element of the pressure sensor 1 is embedded inside the rubber block 1, the pressure sensor 1 is used to sense the pressure of the pair of glass plates on both sides of the rubber blocks, and the pressure sensor 1 has a built-in controller for controlling the operation of the motor 2.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] A fixing device for waterjet cutting, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a water tank frame 1 and a support plate 2. The water tank frame 1 is the main assembly of this fixing device. The water tank frame 1 contains a water tank to receive the water flow from the water cutting process. Multiple support plates 2 are fixedly installed at intervals on the top of the water tank frame 1. The support surfaces of the multiple support plates 2 are on the same horizontal plane, and the support plates 2 are the load-bearing carriers of this fixing device. The device also includes a connecting plate 5, a fixing plate 6, a rubber block 7, a sliding plate 8, a rubber block 9, a motor 10, and a threaded rod 11. The connecting plates 5 are symmetrically and slidably arranged on both sides of the water tank frame 1. At least two fixing plates 6 are fixedly connected to each connecting plate 5 at intervals. The lower part of the fixing plate 6 is an "L"-shaped plate. An "L"-shaped rubber block 7 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate 6. A sliding plate 8 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 6. The sliding plate 8 is penetrated by the fixing plate 6 and the rubber block 7. The side of the sliding plate 8 closest to the rubber block 7 is... Rubber block 29 is provided on the bottom surface. Motor 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the side of the fixing plate 6 opposite to rubber block 7. The "L"-shaped plate and sliding plate 8 of the fixing plate 6 form a clamp for holding the glass. Threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of motor 10. Threaded rod 11 and sliding plate 8 are threadedly engaged. The glass to be cut is placed on rubber block 7 on both sides of the fixing plate 6 of the water tank frame 1. Motor 10 drives sliding plate 8 to approach the "L"-shaped plate at the lower end of fixing plate 6 through threaded rod 11. Rubber block 29 presses down to clamp the glass on rubber block 7. Support plate 2 provides spaced support on the bottom surface of the entire glass sheet, ensuring effective support and fixation at all positions of the glass sheet. When the glass sheet is water-cut, the rubber blocks effectively buffer the vibration during cutting, improving the stability of the glass sheet when a hollow structure appears after cutting.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the top surface of the lower part of the rubber block 7 is slightly higher than the support plane of the support plate 2, and the lower end of the rubber block 7 is a slope. The rubber block 9 is embedded in the bottom surface of the sliding plate 8 and protrudes from the bottom surface of the sliding plate 8. When the rubber block 7 and the rubber block 9 clamp the glass plate, the clamping surface of the rubber block 7 is flush with the support plane of the support plate 2 after being compressed.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, bearing plates 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the water tank frame 1. The bearing plates 3 are rotatably connected to the double-acting screw 4 through the bearings. The double-acting screw 4 has double-acting threads that are threadedly engaged with the corresponding connecting plates 5 on the same side. The outer side of the water tank frame 1 is also provided with an adjusting component for adjusting the distance between the connecting plates 5. The adjusting component can symmetrically adjust the distance between the two fixed plates 6 through the connecting plates 5, so that the fixed plates 6 and the sliding plates 8 can meet the clamping of glass of different sizes.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the adjusting component consists of a worm 15 and a worm wheel 16. The worm wheel 16 is fixedly mounted on the body of the double-acting screw 4. The worm 15 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the outside of the water tank frame 1. The worm wheel 16 and the worm 15 are threaded together. The worm 15 drives the double-acting screw 4 to rotate through the worm wheel 16. The self-locking property of the worm 15 and the worm wheel 16 ensures that the connecting plate 5 with the adjusted spacing can remain stable.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, motors 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the water tank frame 1. The output shaft of motor 14 is connected to worm gear 15. By synchronously driving worm gear 15 to rotate through motors 14 on both sides, worm gear 15 can quickly drive bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate in conjunction with worm wheel 16, thereby efficiently adjusting the clamping distance between the connecting plates 5 to fix the glass.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a pressure sensor 12 is installed on one side of the fixed plate 6. The pressure sensing element of the pressure sensor 12 is embedded inside the rubber block 7. The pressure sensor 12 is used to sense the pressure of the rubber blocks 7 on both sides of the glass plate. The pressure sensor 12 has a built-in controller to control the operation of the motor 14. A pressure sensor 13 is installed on the sliding plate 8. The pressure sensing element of the pressure sensor 13 is embedded inside the rubber block 9. The pressure sensor 13 is used to sense the pressure of the rubber blocks 7 and 9 on the glass plate. The pressure sensor 13 has a built-in controller to control the operation of the motor 10, so that the entire device can clamp the glass plate with appropriate pressure.

[0026] When clamping the water-cut glass, the glass is placed horizontally on the rubber blocks 7 on the two fixing plates 6. Then, the two motors 14 are activated simultaneously, driving the corresponding worm gears 15 to rotate. The worm gears 15, in conjunction with the worm wheel 16, drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 4 threadedly drives the symmetrically arranged connecting plates 5 on both sides to slide synchronously in the opposite direction along the water tank frame 1, adaptively adjusting the distance between the two fixing plates 6 to match the width of the glass. The self-locking characteristics of the worm wheel 16 and worm gear 15 ensure the stability of the clamping mechanism after adjustment. Then, the motor 10 is activated to drive the threaded rod 11 to press down the sliding plate 8. The rubber block 9 and the "L"-shaped rubber block 7 at the lower end of the fixing plate 6 form a progressive clamping action. At the same time, the pressure sensor... Device 2 13 monitors the clamping pressure in real time and stops motor 10 when it reaches the preset value. At this time, rubber block 7 is compressed to be flush with the support plane of support plate 2. The bottom surface of the glass is evenly supported by the spaced support plates 2, forming a three-dimensional stable system of lateral constraint and bottom support. During water cutting, the elastic material of rubber block 7 and rubber block 2 9 absorbs the high-frequency vibration generated by the water flow impact through micro-deformation, dispersing stress concentration. At the same time, pressure sensor 12 and pressure sensor 2 13 continuously monitor the clamping status of the glass plate. If the vibration causes the pressure fluctuation to exceed the threshold, the built-in controller automatically controls the corresponding motor 10 and motor 2 14 to fine-tune the clamping force to ensure the stability of the glass structure when cutting the hollow area.

[0027] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
