Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to an automated glass processing edge grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, glass, with its excellent properties such as transparency, hardness, and aesthetics, is widely used in many industries, including architectural decoration, electronic displays, optical instruments, and automobile manufacturing. The quality and precision requirements for glass products are constantly increasing with the development of various industries, and the processing of glass edges, especially the edge grinding process, plays a crucial role in the performance, appearance, and safety of the final product.

[0003] In the current glass processing industry, existing automated glass edging equipment has many unresolved problems. Among them, unstable edging is particularly prominent. When grinding glass edges, defects in the mechanical structure or transmission system often cause vibrations and deviations during the grinding process, making it difficult to guarantee high precision and stability. Moreover, most equipment cannot achieve omnidirectional edging. For glass products with complex shapes and special edging requirements, it can only perform partial or single-direction grinding, failing to meet diverse processing requirements. Furthermore, its dust control and cleaning performance during grinding is unsatisfactory. The lack of effective dust control measures allows grinding dust to disperse freely, affecting the working environment and threatening the health of operators. In addition, poor cleaning functions fail to clean the ground areas in a timely manner, potentially impacting subsequent processing and the equipment's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automated glass processing edge grinding device. This device solves the problems of unstable edge grinding, inability to grind edges in all directions, poor dust removal and cleaning, low efficiency, and inability to recycle water resources in existing automated glass processing edge grinding devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automated glass processing edge grinding device includes a support plate. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the rear top of the support plate. A sleeve is connected to the U-shaped frame via a moving component. Springs are provided on the inner walls of the sleeves. Sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the sleeves.

[0012] Furthermore, the spraying assembly includes a water pump fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear bottom end of the collection box, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the rear outer wall of the water pump, a delivery pipe fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top end of the connecting pipe, the top end of the spray nozzles fixedly connected to the bottom end of the delivery pipes, and the front outer wall of the delivery pipes fixedly connected to the opposite side of the protective box.

[0013] Furthermore, a filter screen is installed on the inner wall of the collection box, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer right side of the filter screen.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automated glass processing edge grinding device, comprising a support plate 1, a U-shaped frame 2 fixedly connected to the rear top of the support plate 1, a sleeve 6 connected to the U-shaped frame 2 via a movable component, springs 11 provided on the inner walls of the sleeves 6, sliding rods 7 slidably connected to the inner walls of the sleeves 6, protective boxes 8 fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the sliding rods 7, a third motor 9 installed on the inner walls of the protective boxes 8, a grinding disc 10 fixedly connected to the drive end of the third motor 9, and the opposite ends of the springs 11 being connected to the sliding rods 7. One end of the sleeve 6 is connected to the other end of the sleeve 6. The opposite sides of the spring 11 are connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 6. The moving assembly includes a first motor 3 fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the U-shaped frame 2. The drive end of the first motor 3 is fixedly connected to a double reverse thread rod 4. The outer walls of both ends of the double reverse thread rod 4 are threaded with L-shaped plates 5. The opposite ends of the sleeve 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the L-shaped plates 5. The outer walls of the L-shaped plates 5 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 2. The right end of the double reverse thread rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 2. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The top of the U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 12, and an electric push rod 13 is installed at the top of the fixed frame 12. The drive end of the electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 14, and a rotating disk 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the fixed plate 14. The contact surface of the rotating disk 15 is provided with a microporous ceramic layer.

[0027] Specifically, a water channel is provided at the top of the support plate 1. The function of the water channel is to collect the water used to cool the grinding disc 10 and the glass. The U-shaped frame 2 provides a supporting foundation for subsequent components, ensuring the overall structural stability. The first motor 3 provides power output for the subsequent structure. When the first motor 3 is working, it can drive the double reverse threaded rod 4 to rotate synchronously. The motor power is transmitted to the double reverse threaded rod 4, which drives the two L-shaped plates 5 to move left and right through the thread transmission when the double reverse threaded rod 4 rotates, and adjusts the position according to the size of the glass. When the L-shaped plates 5 move, they can drive the sleeve 6 to move synchronously, realizing the position adjustment of the sleeve 6 and related components. The sliding rod 7 slides horizontally in the sleeve 6, providing movement space to adapt to glass of different shapes. The spring force of spring 11 pushes the slide rod 7, ensuring that the slide rod 7 and the grinding-related components always keep in contact with the glass edge, thus guaranteeing the stability of the grinding contact. At the same time, the spring 11 is arranged in a bidirectional symmetrical manner, which allows the elastic force on the slide rod 7 to be evenly transmitted from both sides, avoiding tilting or jamming of the slide rod 7 due to force on one side. This ensures that the slide rod 7 drives the grinding-related components to slide smoothly in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the force is balanced when the grinding disc 10 is in contact with the glass edge, improving the stability and accuracy of the edge grinding. When the slide rod 7 moves or is subjected to force, it can drive the protective box 8 to move synchronously, ensuring that the protective box 8 and its internal components maintain the corresponding position with the glass. When the third motor 9 is working, it drives the grinding disc 10 to rotate at high speed, and the edge grinding operation is achieved through the contact between the grinding disc 10 and the glass edge.

[0028] The mounting bracket 12 provides an installation carrier for the electric push rod 13, ensuring the stability of the upper fixing structure. When the electric push rod 13 extends or retracts, it drives the fixing plate 14 to move up and down, realizing the height adjustment of the fixing plate 14 and the rotating disk 15 to adapt to the fixing needs of glass of different heights. The rotating disk 15 can rotate freely relative to the fixing plate 14. The rotating disk 15 and the placement plate 20 are indirectly connected through the glass. The rotating disk 15 will rotate with the rotation of the placement plate 20. When the glass rotates under the drive of the placement plate 20, the rotating disk 15 rotates synchronously to avoid friction damage to the glass due to asynchronous rotation, ensuring smooth rotation of the glass during polishing. The rotating disk 15 contacts the glass and plays a fixing role for the glass. The pressure of the rotating disk 15 on the glass fixes the glass and prevents the glass from deviating or falling off during rotational polishing, ensuring accurate polishing position. The contact surface of the rotating disk 15 is provided with a microporous ceramic layer. The microporous ceramic has good wear resistance and can reduce the wear of the rotating disk 15. The wear and tear caused by rotating in contact with the glass extends the service life of the rotating disk; its microporous structure increases the friction of the contact surface, improves the stability of fixing the glass, and prevents the glass from slipping or shifting during rotation and grinding.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The support plate 1 is connected to the placement disk 20 via a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a second motor 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front side of the support plate 1. A gear 17 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 16. A gear ring 18 is meshed with the outer wall of the gear 17. A rotating column 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear ring 18. The bottom end of the placement disk 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating column 19. The outer wall of the gear ring 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the front side of the support plate 1. The bottom end of the rotating column 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the front side of the support plate 1.

[0030] Specifically, the second motor 16 provides power to the subsequent structure. When the second motor 16 is working, it drives the gear 17 to rotate synchronously, transmitting the motor power to the gear 17. When the gear 17 rotates, it drives the gear ring 18 to rotate through meshing transmission, realizing the transmission of power from the gear 17 to the gear ring 18. When the gear ring 18 rotates, it drives the rotating column 19 to rotate synchronously, transmitting the power to the rotating column 19. When the rotating column 19 rotates, it drives the placement plate 20 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the glass placed on the placement plate 20 to rotate. This, combined with the grinding operation, enables the glass to be ground in all directions. The gear transmission system can achieve speed reduction and torque increase by reasonably designing the tooth ratio and transmission ratio of the gear and gear ring. For example, if the gear 17 has fewer teeth and the gear ring 18 has more teeth, the high-speed rotation of the motor can be converted into a low-speed, high-torque output of the placement plate 20. This is especially important for glass edging, as glass is brittle and requires lower speeds and higher torque to ensure smooth grinding and prevent breakage due to high-speed rotation. Motor matching optimization is also crucial: directly using a motor drive to achieve low-speed rotation may require a special low-speed motor or complex frequency converter control, resulting in higher costs and potentially reduced efficiency. Gear drives, on the other hand, can use a standard high-speed motor in conjunction with the transmission system to achieve the required speed, reducing equipment costs.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 A collection box 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 1. The collection box 21 is connected to a nozzle 27 via a spraying assembly. The spraying assembly includes a water pump 24 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom rear end of the collection box 21. A connecting pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear side of the water pump 24. A delivery pipe 26 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the top end of the connecting pipe 25. The top end of the nozzle 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the delivery pipe 26. The front outer wall of the delivery pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the protective box 8. A filter screen plate 22 is installed on the inner wall of the collection box 21. A handle 23 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the filter screen plate 22.

[0032] Specifically, the collection box 21 is used to collect debris generated during the polishing process and the return liquid after spraying. The water pump 24 facilitates the extraction of liquid from the collection box 21. The liquid extracted by the water pump 24 is transported to subsequent pipelines through the connecting pipe 25 to achieve liquid transfer. The liquid in the connecting pipe 25 is diverted to the left and right conveying pipes 26 to provide liquid source for the nozzles 27 on both sides. The liquid in the conveying pipe 26 is sprayed out through the nozzles 27. The nozzles 27 can cool and clean the polishing disc 10 and the glass, while also preventing dust from spreading everywhere. The conveying pipes 26 and the nozzles 27 can move synchronously with the protective box 8 to ensure a continuous cooling effect on the polishing position. The conveying pipe 26 is made of pressure-resistant PU spiral hose. It is a high-performance polymer material with good flexibility, which allows the conveying pipe to bend and twist freely in various complex operating environments without easily breaking or snapping. It can be flexibly arranged according to the actual installation layout and usage requirements. The filter screen 22 filters the return water, and the filtered water can be recycled. The handle 23 makes it easy to remove the filter screen 22 for cleaning and replacing impurities on the filter screen 22. The filter screen 22 can collect grinding debris and return liquid. Through liquid circulation, it can continuously cool and clean the grinding position and prevent dust from scattering. At the same time, the filtered water can be recycled, and it is also easy to clean impurities, improving grinding efficiency and environmental protection.

[0033] Working principle: The second motor 16 is started, driving the gear 17 to rotate. Through meshing transmission, the gear ring 18 rotates, causing the rotating column 19 to drive the placement tray 20 to rotate synchronously, placing the glass on the placement tray 20. The electric push rod 13 is started, driving the fixing plate 14 and the rotating tray 15 to descend until the rotating tray 15 contacts the glass and applies appropriate pressure, fixing the glass. The first motor 3 is started, driving the double-threaded rod 4 to rotate, driving the L-shaped plate 5 to move left and right through thread transmission, adjusting the position of the sleeve 6 and related components according to the glass size. The third motor 9 is started, driving... The grinding disc 10 rotates at high speed, and the spring 11 pushes the slide rod 7 to make the grinding disc 10 fit against the edge of the glass; the placement plate 20 drives the glass to rotate, and the rotating disc 15 rotates synchronously to achieve all-round edge grinding of the glass. The water pump 24 is started to draw liquid from the collection tank 21, and spray it out from the nozzle 27 through the connecting pipe 25 and the delivery pipe 26 to cool and clean the grinding disc 10 and the glass and prevent dust from scattering. The liquid after use is collected by the water tank at the top of the support plate 1 and flows back to the collection tank 21. After being filtered by the filter plate 22, it is recycled. The filter plate 22 is removed periodically by the handle 23 to clean impurities.
