Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quartz rod production technology, specifically to an automatic quartz rod breaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Quartz glass, due to its excellent optical properties, thermal shock resistance, extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, and low electrical conductivity, is widely used in semiconductors, precision optics, and information transmission. Quartz fibers, drawn from quartz glass rods, not only possess heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and flexibility, but also exhibit high strength retention at high temperatures, dimensional stability, thermal shock resistance, chemical stability, good light transmittance, and electrical insulation. Quartz fibers are commonly used in optical fibers, aerospace, high-speed rail, and other aerospace, military, and semiconductor industries. Quartz glass rods are the basic material used to manufacture quartz fibers.

[0003] Currently, the processing of quartz glass rods mainly involves heat-modifying quartz glass ingots multiple times to produce quartz glass rods of a certain diameter. After heat modification, the quartz glass rods need to be transported to subsequent workstations for manual length cutting. Due to the high brittleness of quartz glass rods, they are prone to breakage during transportation due to external vibrations and during cutting. This not only affects the production of quartz glass rods to a fixed length but also increases production and labor costs. Therefore, it is necessary to design a convenient, fast, and labor-saving quartz rod breaking device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it is not limited thereto. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solution of this utility model that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes an automatic quartz rod breaking device, which is composed of four parts: a base 5, an orientation adjustment mechanism, a height adjustment mechanism, and a rod breaking mechanism. The orientation adjustment mechanism is installed on the base 5 and is composed of a rotating disk 6, a support arm 4, and a first drive motor 12. The support arm 4 is vertically arranged on the base 5 and hinged to the base 5. The rotating disk 6 is sleeved at the bottom position of the support arm 4 and is fixedly connected to the support arm 4. The first drive motor 12 is fixedly installed on the base 5, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating disk 6 to drive the rotating disk 6 to rotate the support arm 4. The height adjustment component is installed on the support arm 4 and is composed of a slide rail 16, a slider 1, and a second drive motor 3. The slide rail 16 is arranged vertically on the support arm 4. The slider 1 is installed inside the slide rail 16 and cooperates with the slide rail 16. The second drive motor 3 is fixedly installed at the top position of the support arm 4 and is connected to the slider 1 through a transmission mechanism such as a ball screw 2 to drive the slider 1 to move up and down on the slide rail 16.

[0019] The bar-breaking mechanism is connected to the slider 1 via a connecting post 15. The connecting post 15 is horizontally positioned, with one end fixedly connected to the slider 1 and the other end fixedly connected to the bar-breaking mechanism. The bar-breaking mechanism is composed of a clamping assembly, a third drive motor 11, and a motor mounting bracket 17. The motor mounting bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 15, and the third drive motor 11 is installed inside the motor mounting bracket 17. The clamping assembly is located to the left of the third drive motor 11 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third drive motor 11.

[0020] The clamping assembly consists of a rotating head 8 and a robotic arm 7. The rotating head 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third drive motor 11. One end of the robotic arm 7 is set inside the rotating head 8 and is fixedly connected to the rotating head 8 by a limit bolt 10. An electric cylinder 9 is installed inside the rotating head 8 and is connected to the robotic arm 7 to drive the robotic arm 7 to perform clamping actions.

[0021] Preferably, all three drive motors are connected to an external control system to control the speed and rotation angle of each drive motor.

[0022] During use, while the quartz rod is being fed, the laser break point on the quartz rod is first detected. Then, the electric cylinder 9 drives the robotic arm 7 to clamp the break point of the quartz rod. At the same time, the third drive motor 11 and the second drive motor 3 work: the second drive motor 3 drives the slider 1 to move on the slide rail 16 and controls the speed of the slider 1 to be consistent with the feeding speed of the quartz rod; the third drive motor 11 drives the rotating head 8 to rotate 90 degrees, and the quartz rod is broken through the cooperation of the two. At this time, the quartz rod is in a horizontal state. Then, the first drive motor 12 is started to drive the rotating disk 6 to rotate, thereby driving the support arm 4 to rotate, so that the quartz rod rotates to the top of the finished product conveyor 14. Then, the electric cylinder 9 drives the robotic arm 7 to release and place the quartz rod on the finished product conveyor 14.

[0023] This invention utilizes a rotating disk 6, a support arm 4, and a first drive motor 12 to form an orientation adjustment mechanism. A height adjustment mechanism is also installed on the support arm 4. Simultaneously, a bar-breaking mechanism is installed at the end of the height adjustment mechanism. This allows the bar-breaking mechanism to clamp the laser-cut point on the quartz rod during the quartz rod feeding process. The height adjustment mechanism simultaneously drives the bar-breaking mechanism to move synchronously with the quartz rod. Then, by rotating the bar-breaking mechanism, the quartz rod can be broken. After the quartz rod is broken, it can be placed on the finished product conveyor frame 14 by rotating the orientation adjustment mechanism. This operation process avoids the instability caused by manual transportation, prevents damage to the quartz rod, and saves production and labor costs.
