Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a manual pusher device for cross-cutting cover glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of overflow glass production, several key forming equipment are involved, including muffle furnaces, forming furnaces, annealing furnaces, and cross-cutting machines. The glass bloc flows through these devices sequentially from top to bottom. In the muffle furnace, the molten glass is evenly spread to form a flat surface of a certain thickness. The forming furnace cools and solidifies the molten glass, transforming it into a solid glass ribbon. The cross-cutting machine plays a crucial role in the production process; it cuts transverse slits of a certain depth into the continuously flowing glass ribbon at set time intervals. A robot then breaks the glass sheet according to these slits, thus cutting the continuous glass ribbon into glass sheets of a specific height.

[0003] However, in actual production, the cross-cutting equipment inevitably experiences malfunctions, or the glass plate may break off inside the equipment and have to be removed from the furnace again. In these cases, manual pushing is required to remove the glass plate from the equipment for subsequent processing or to adjust the production flow. Currently, the manual pushing device used consists of two identical "T"-shaped clamps.

[0004] However, this device has significant drawbacks. During manual plate pushing, it's difficult to ensure even force application from both hands, and the contact position between the "T"-shaped clamp and the glass plate is not fixed. This results in uneven force application from both hands during the pushing process, easily causing uneven stress on the glass plate and leading to breakage above the furnace outlet. Glass breakage not only damages the current glass plate but also causes production interruptions, increases production costs, and severely impacts the overall yield of the production line. Furthermore, production interruptions disrupt production plans, requiring lengthy cleanup and recovery times, affecting production efficiency and economic benefits. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a manual pusher device for cross-cutting cover glass. This addresses the problem in the prior art where the contact position between the "T"-shaped clamp and the glass plate is not fixed during manual pusher operation, leading to uneven force applied by both hands during the pusher process. This uneven force on the glass plate can easily cause it to break above the furnace outlet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A manual pusher device for transverse cutting of cover glass includes a pusher rod, a pusher surface, and a fixing component;

[0008] The push plate surface is fixed to the push rod by a fastener;

[0009] The push rod is for adjustment by the operator, and the push plate is used to push the glass plate to perform a horizontal cutting operation.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the fastener includes at least two screws for securing the push rod to the push plate surface.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the head of the screw is countersunk.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a reinforcing rod is provided between the push rod and the push plate surface.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the length of the push plate surface is greater than 2m.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the side of the pusher plate closest to the glass plate is polished.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the push plate surface has a groove for accommodating the push rod.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the height of the push plate surface is 20-30mm.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the length of the push rod is in the range of 40-60mm.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the push rod and push plate surface are made of non-metallic material.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This application provides a manual pusher device for cross-cutting cover glass. This structure combines a pusher rod, a pusher plate surface, and a fixing component to form a basic manual pusher device, providing a simple and easy-to-use manual tool for cross-cutting cover glass. The simple structure is easy to manufacture and assemble, reducing production costs and making it suitable for small-scale or temporary glass cross-cutting operations. The combination of the pusher rod and pusher plate surface allows the operator to easily control the pusher plate via the pusher rod, thereby pushing the glass plate and improving operational flexibility. The pushing direction and force can be flexibly adjusted according to different operational needs to meet basic production requirements.

[0021] In one possible implementation, at least two screws are used as fasteners. Compared with a single fastener, this can distribute the force more evenly, making the connection between the push rod and the push plate surface more secure and stable. This avoids the push rod from shifting or loosening due to force when pushing the glass plate, improves the overall structural stability of the device, ensures the reliability and safety of the pushing operation, extends the service life of the device, and reduces the risk of production accidents caused by structural loosening.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the countersunk hole in the screw head makes the device surface smooth and flat, avoiding the risk of scratches caused by a protruding screw head. This prevents damage to surrounding equipment, operators, or the glass surface during operation, thus improving operational safety. At the same time, the smooth surface makes the device more aesthetically pleasing.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the reinforcement rod significantly enhances the connection strength between the push rod and the push plate surface. Especially when pushing larger, thicker, or heavier cover glass, it can withstand greater lateral and longitudinal forces, preventing deformation or damage to the connection between the push rod and the push plate surface. This ensures the structural integrity of the device under heavy working loads, improves the reliability and durability of the device, helps ensure the stability of the pushing operation, and reduces maintenance costs and downtime caused by structural damage.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the pusher surface is longer than 2m, enabling it to cover larger sizes of cover glass, thus expanding the device's applicability and improving its versatility. When handling cover glass of different sizes, frequent replacement of the pusher device is unnecessary, reducing equipment investment costs. The longer pusher surface can more evenly distribute the pushing force, ensuring uniform stress on the glass during pushing, reducing the risk of glass breakage due to uneven stress, and improving product yield.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the polishing treatment of the pusher surface near the glass plate reduces friction between the pusher and the glass plate, making the pushing process smoother, reducing energy loss caused by excessive friction, and improving pushing efficiency. At the same time, the smooth surface prevents scratches on the glass plate, ensuring the surface quality of the cover glass. This is particularly suitable for cover glass products with high surface quality requirements, reducing the scrap rate caused by surface scratches, and improving product quality and market competitiveness.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the groove on the push plate surface provides a stable mounting position for the push rod, improving the fit accuracy between the push rod and the push plate surface, preventing positional deviation of the push rod during the pushing process, making the push rod more stable during use, thereby improving the accuracy and repeatability of the pushing operation, helping to precisely control the movement trajectory of the push plate, and improving the accuracy of the glass plate slicing operation.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a manual pusher device for cross-cutting cover glass includes a push rod 1, a pusher surface 2, and a fixing component.

[0031] The push rod 1 is fixed to the push plate surface 2 by a fastener. The push rod 1 is used for adjustment by the staff, and the push plate surface 2 is used to push the glass plate 8 to perform a horizontal cutting operation.

[0032] The fastener can be a fixing bolt, which fixes the push rod 1 and the push plate 2 together to ensure that the push rod 1 can push the push plate 2 in a certain direction. The fastener is not shown.

[0033] After the glass plate 8 passes through the glass outlet 4, it is cut by the transverse cutting device 5 at the transverse cutting support point 6. If the transverse cutting device 5 malfunctions or the glass plate 8 exits the furnace again with a broken section, the operator holds the push rod 1 and manually pushes the push plate surface 2, aligning it with the contact position 7 of the manual push plate, thereby pushing the glass plate 8 for transverse cutting. During operation, the operator can adjust the angle and position of the push rod 1 as needed to control the pushing direction and force of the push plate surface 2 on the glass plate 8.

[0034] In this embodiment, the structure combines the push rod 1, the push plate surface 2, and the fixing component to form a basic manual push plate device, providing a simple and easy-to-use manual tool for the cross-cutting operation of cover glass. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and assemble, reduces production costs, and is suitable for small-scale or temporary glass cross-cutting operations. The combination of the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2 allows the operator to easily control the push plate through the push rod 1, realizing the pushing of the glass plate 8, improving operational flexibility. The pushing direction and force can be flexibly adjusted according to different operational needs to meet basic production requirements.

[0035] In one possible embodiment, the fastener may include at least two screws, which can be used to fix the push rod 1 to the push plate surface 2.

[0036] Optionally, four M8 screws can be used as fasteners. Threaded holes are pre-machined at corresponding positions on the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2. The screws are passed through the holes on the push rod 1 and screwed into the threaded holes on the push plate surface 2, firmly fixing the push rod 1 to the push plate surface 2. These four screws are distributed at the four corners of the connection between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2, ensuring a secure connection between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2.

[0037] Preferably, a nut and washer can be used on the screw, with the nut tightened on the other side of the push plate 2 and the washer placed between the push rod 1 and the nut to prevent the screw from loosening during use.

[0038] In this embodiment, at least two screws are used as fasteners. Compared with a single fastening method, the force can be distributed more evenly, making the connection between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2 more secure and stable. This avoids the push rod 1 from shifting or loosening due to force when pushing the glass plate 8, improves the overall structural stability of the device, ensures the reliability and safety of the pushing operation, extends the service life of the device, and reduces the risk of production accidents caused by structural loosening.

[0039] In one possible embodiment, the head of the screw may be countersunk.

[0040] Countersunk holes are machined for the screw on the push plate surface 2 and the push rod 1. For example, a countersunk hole with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 5 mm is machined on the push plate surface 2 and the push rod 1 using machining equipment to match the head of the M8 screw. After the screw is tightened, the screw head will sink into the countersunk hole, which is basically flush with the surface. The countersunk hole is not shown.

[0041] In this embodiment, the countersunk hole in the screw head makes the device surface flat and smooth, avoiding the risk of scratches caused by the protruding screw head. During operation, it will not cause damage to surrounding equipment, operators, or the glass plate 8 surface, thus improving operational safety. At the same time, the flat surface makes the device more aesthetically pleasing.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, a reinforcing rod 3 is provided between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2.

[0043] A reinforcing rod 3 is provided between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2. The reinforcing rod 3 can be two metal or non-metal materials with a diameter of 12mm.

[0044] One end of the reinforcing rod 3 is fixed to the middle of the push rod 1, and the other end is fixed to the push plate surface 2, forming a stable triangular structure to enhance the connection strength between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the reinforcement rod 3 significantly enhances the connection strength between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2. Especially when pushing larger, thicker, or heavier cover glass, it can withstand greater lateral and longitudinal forces, preventing deformation or damage to the connection between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2. This ensures the structural integrity of the device when subjected to large working loads, improves the reliability and durability of the device, helps ensure the stability of the pushing operation, and reduces maintenance costs and downtime caused by structural damage.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, the length of the push plate surface 2 is greater than 2m.

[0047] Optionally, the length of the pusher surface 2 can be designed to be 2.5m, and wood can be used as the material for the pusher surface 2. In the production workshop, when performing cross-cutting operations on cover glass with a width of 2.3m, the longer pusher surface 2 can cover a larger area, making the push of the glass plate 8 more stable and uniform.

[0048] In this embodiment, the length of the pusher surface 2 is greater than 2m, enabling it to cover larger sizes of cover glass, thus expanding the applicability of the device and improving its versatility. When handling cover glass of different specifications, frequent replacement of the pusher device is unnecessary, reducing equipment investment costs. The longer pusher surface 2 can more evenly distribute the pushing force, ensuring uniform force on the glass plate 8 during the pushing process, reducing the risk of glass breakage due to uneven force, and improving the product yield.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the side of the push plate 2 closest to the glass plate 8 is polished.

[0050] Polish the side of the push plate 2 closest to the glass plate 8. A polishing machine can be used. First, use 120-grit sandpaper for coarse grinding to remove the rough parts of the surface, and then use 600-grit sandpaper for fine grinding.

[0051] After polishing, the surface can be cleaned by wiping it with a clean cloth to prevent impurities from affecting the pushing operation or damaging the surface of the glass plate 8.

[0052] In this embodiment, the polishing treatment of the pusher surface 2 near the glass plate 8 reduces the friction between it and the glass plate 8, making the process of pushing the glass plate 8 smoother, reducing energy loss caused by excessive friction during the pushing process, and improving pushing efficiency. At the same time, the smooth surface avoids scratching the glass plate 8, ensuring the surface quality of the cover glass, which is especially suitable for cover glass products with high surface quality requirements, reducing the scrap rate caused by surface scratches, and improving product quality and market competitiveness.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, the push plate surface 2 is provided with a groove for accommodating the push rod 1.

[0054] A groove is made on the push plate surface 2 to accommodate the push rod 1. The shape of the groove is designed to be circular or rectangular according to the shape of the push rod 1.

[0055] Partially embedding push rod 1 into the groove allows for a tighter fit between push rod 1 and push plate surface 2. A rubber gasket can be placed inside the groove. After push rod 1 is placed into the groove, the elasticity of the rubber gasket helps to better fix push rod 1 in the groove, preventing it from shaking during operation. The groove is not shown.

[0056] In this embodiment, the groove on the push plate surface 2 provides a stable installation position for the push rod 1, which improves the fit accuracy between the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2, avoids positional deviation of the push rod 1 during the pushing process, and makes the push rod 1 more stable during use. This improves the accuracy and repeatability of the pushing operation, helps to accurately control the movement trajectory of the push plate, and improves the accuracy of the transverse cutting operation of the glass plate 8.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, the height of the push plate surface 2 is 20-30mm.

[0058] Specifically, the height of the push plate surface 2 is designed to be 25mm. During the production process, the push plate surface 2 is processed into the required shape and size as needed, ensuring that its height is within the range of 20-30mm. For some scenarios that require operation in confined spaces, this height of the push plate surface 2 facilitates operation while ensuring sufficient structural strength.

[0059] In this embodiment, the height of the push plate 2 is between 20-30mm, ensuring sufficient structural strength to withstand the reaction force when pushing the glass plate 8, while avoiding excessive height that would increase the overall weight and volume of the device. This facilitates operation and movement in different working environments, improving the device's practicality and ease of use. Simultaneously, the appropriate height helps lower the device's center of gravity, making operation more stable and reducing operational risks caused by instability.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the length of the push rod 1 ranges from 40 to 60 mm.

[0061] Optionally, the length of the push rod 1 is set to 50mm, with a range of 40-60mm, which can be adjusted according to the operator's operating habits and workload. The push rod 1 is made of high-strength engineering plastic material and manufactured through injection molding to ensure the dimensional accuracy and strength of the push rod 1.

[0062] To facilitate operation, anti-slip textures can be provided on the surface of push rod 1, such as an annular groove machined on the surface of push rod 1, to increase the friction between the hand and push rod 1, so that the operator can hold push rod 1 more stably.

[0063] In this embodiment, the setting of the length range of the push rod 1 allows the operator to flexibly select a suitable length of the push rod 1 according to their own strength and operating habits, improving the comfort and convenience of operation, enabling the operator to apply force more effectively, and making it more conducive to the control of the push plate, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the pushing operation. At the same time, using a push rod 1 of a suitable length can avoid the inconvenience and operational risks caused by the push rod 1 being too long or too short, and reduce labor intensity.

[0064] In one possible embodiment, the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2 are made of non-metallic materials.

[0065] In this embodiment, the push rod 1 and the push plate surface 2 are made of non-metallic materials, such as wood, which are lightweight, low-cost, and corrosion-resistant.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features, do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
