Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a device for hot bending and forming glass handicrafts. Background Technology

[0002] The history of glass hot bending can be traced back to early glass processing technology. Its core principle is to soften the glass by heating it at high temperatures, and then use molds or external force to bend it into a specific shape. With the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, glass hot bending technology gradually transformed from manual operation to mechanization and automation.

[0003] In existing technologies for hot bending glass crafts, the required curved mold is usually made first, the glass craft is placed on the mold, and then the glass is heated by the high temperature generated by the heating plate. When the glass craft melts, it can bend naturally under its own weight, thus achieving the required curvature.

[0004] However, when the glass is heated to soften and fits into the mold, the drooping ends of the glass lack support, which may cause cracks to form under the stretching force of gravity. This makes the edges of the glass prone to breakage after cooling, resulting in glass breakage. This affects the efficiency of the hot bending process of glass. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hot bending forming device for glass handicrafts, which can solve the existing problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A glass craft hot bending forming device includes: a box body, a connecting frame mounted on the box body, a winch mounted on the connecting frame, a cover plate mounted on the winch, a heating plate mounted on the cover plate, and a mold body mounted inside the box body; it also includes: a support assembly mounted inside the box body, the support assembly including a torsion spring mounted inside the box body, a connecting rod mounted on the torsion spring, a T-slot mounted on the connecting rod, a T-block mounted on the T-slot, a rotating shaft mounted on the T-block, a roller mounted on the rotating shaft, and a locking component mounted on the T-block; and a fixing assembly mounted on the mold body, the fixing assembly including a threaded hole and a connecting plate, the threaded hole being mounted inside the box body, the connecting plate being mounted on the mold body, and the connecting plate having a threaded post.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes four sets of connectors evenly arranged on the housing. A main shaft is rotatably arranged inside the connector, one end of the connecting rod is located outside the main shaft, and a torsion spring is arranged between the connecting rod and the connector, with the torsion spring located outside the main shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the T-slot is located inside the connecting rod and extends through the connecting rod, with the T-block movably positioned within the T-slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking component also includes a connecting block at one end of the T-shaped block, a limit plate on one side of the connecting block, and a pressure plate rotatably mounted on one side of the limit plate.

[0011] Furthermore, two sets of locking blocks are symmetrically arranged on one side of the pressure plate, and multiple sets of locking slots are evenly arranged on the connecting rod corresponding to the locking blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes a positioning block located in the middle of the inner side of the housing, and a positioning groove is provided on the mold body corresponding to the positioning block, with the positioning block and the positioning groove matching.

[0013] Furthermore, two sets of connecting plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold body, and the threaded post is threaded inside the connecting plate, and the threaded post penetrates the connecting plate and extends to the outside.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple sets of threaded holes are evenly arranged on the inner side of the housing corresponding to the threaded posts, and the threaded holes match the threaded posts.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0016] 1. When using a mold to heat-bend glass, the worker places the glass on the mold and then, according to the glass specifications, presses the pressure plate to make the T-shaped block slide in the T-groove. This allows the rotating shaft to drive the rollers to the appropriate position. Through the elastic force of the torsion spring, the rollers can contact the mold body, so that the rollers can support both ends of the glass after heat bending. This can support the ends of glass crafts of different specifications, thus preventing cracks from appearing at the glass edges due to lack of support when the glass is formed under its own weight, and effectively preventing the glass edges from breaking.

[0017] 2. When using molds of different specifications to heat-bend glass crafts, workers need to change the mold body. In order to quickly install the mold body into the box, workers control the mold body so that the positioning groove at the bottom is aligned with the positioning block and snapped in, thereby pre-positioning the mold body. Then, by turning the threaded column into the threaded hole, the mold body can be quickly changed, which can improve the processing efficiency of glass heat bending. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 7As shown, this utility model provides a glass craft hot bending forming device, including: a box body 3, a connecting frame 1 on the box body 3, a winch 6 on the connecting frame 1, a cover plate 2 on the winch 6, a heating plate 5 on the cover plate 2, and a mold body 4 inside the box body 3. It also includes: a support assembly inside the box body 3, the support assembly including a torsion spring 13 inside the box body 3, a connecting rod 7 on the torsion spring 13, a T-slot 10 on the connecting rod 7, a T-block 11 on the T-slot 10, a rotating shaft 9 on the T-block 11, a roller 8 on the rotating shaft 9, and a locking component on the T-block 11; a fixing assembly on the mold body 4, the fixing assembly including a threaded hole 20 and a connecting plate 21, the threaded hole 20 being inside the box body 3, the connecting plate 21 being on the mold body 4, and a threaded post 22 on the connecting plate 21.

[0029] In the above scheme:

[0030] 1. By controlling the T-block 11 to slide inside the T-groove 10, the roller 8 is moved. The operator moves the roller 8 to the designated position according to the glass specifications. Through the elastic force of the torsion spring 13, the roller 8 can be moved to fit tightly against the mold body 4, thereby supporting the bottom of the glass.

[0031] 2. When the roller 8 moves to the designated position, the staff will align the locking block 18 with the locking slot 19 and lock it in, thereby fixing the position of the roller 8 and ensuring that the roller 8 remains stable when supporting the glass.

[0032] 3. By controlling the positioning groove 23 to be aligned with the positioning block 24 and inserted, the mold body 4 can be pre-positioned when it is replaced. At this time, the threaded post 22 and the corresponding threaded hole 20 are aligned. Then, by turning the threaded post 22 into the threaded hole 20, the mold body 4 can be quickly fixed, which makes it easier for the staff to replace the mold body 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support assembly also includes four sets of connectors 12 evenly arranged on the housing 3. A main shaft 14 is rotatably arranged inside the connector 12. One end of the connecting rod 7 is arranged outside the main shaft 14. A torsion spring 13 is arranged between the connecting rod 7 and the connector 12, and the torsion spring 13 is arranged outside the main shaft 14.

[0034] In the above scheme, the spring force of the torsion spring 13 can drive the roller 8 to maintain contact with the mold body 4, thereby enabling the roller 8 to provide sufficient support for the glass.

[0035] In this embodiment, the T-groove 10 is disposed inside the connecting rod 7 and passes through the connecting rod 7, and the T-block 11 is movably disposed within the T-groove 10.

[0036] In the above scheme, the movement direction of the roller 8 can be restricted by the T-shaped block 11 sliding within the T-shaped groove 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, the locking component also includes a connecting block 15 disposed at one end of the T-shaped block 11, a limiting plate 16 disposed on one side of the connecting block 15, and a pressure plate 17 rotatably disposed on one side of the limiting plate 16.

[0038] In the above scheme, the setting of the pressure plate 17 makes it easier for the staff to control the movement of the roller 8.

[0039] In this embodiment, two sets of locking blocks 18 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the pressure plate 17, and multiple sets of locking slots 19 are evenly arranged on the connecting rod 7 corresponding to the locking blocks 18.

[0040] In the above scheme, the position of the roller 8 can be locked by inserting the card block 18 into the card slot 19.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fixing component also includes a positioning block 24 disposed in the middle of the inner side of the housing 3, and a positioning groove 23 is provided on the mold body 4 corresponding to the positioning block 24, and the positioning block 24 matches the positioning groove 23.

[0042] In the above scheme: when the mold body 4 is replaced, the positioning block 24 and the positioning groove 23 can be used to achieve the pre-positioning of the mold body 4 during installation.

[0043] In this embodiment, two sets of connecting plates 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold body 4. The threaded post 22 is threaded inside the connecting plate 21 and extends through the connecting plate 21 to the outside.

[0044] In the above scheme, the mold body 4 can be more firmly fixed by setting two sets of threaded posts 22.

[0045] In this embodiment, multiple sets of threaded holes 20 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the housing 3 corresponding to the threaded post 22, and the threaded holes 20 match the threaded post 22.

[0046] In the above scheme, the mold body 4 can be quickly fixed by the cooperation of the threaded hole 20 and the threaded post 22.

[0047] In this embodiment, when glass needs to be hot-bent, different mold bodies 4 are required for different specifications of glass. Therefore, the operator needs to replace the mold body 4. The operator places the positioning groove 23 on the new mold body 4 into the housing 3, so that the positioning block 24 is engaged in the positioning groove 23, thus pre-positioning the mold body 4. At this time, the threaded post 22 and the corresponding threaded hole 20 are aligned. The operator screws the threaded post 22 into the threaded hole 20 to fix the mold body 4, thereby facilitating the quick replacement of the mold body 4. Then, according to the specifications of the glass, the operator pushes the pressure plate 17 to make the T-shaped block 11 fit in the T-shaped groove 10. The roller 8 can be moved by sliding, thus supporting both ends of the glass after the glass is hot-bent. After adjusting the position of the roller 8, the clamping block 18 is locked into the slot 19 by rotating the pressure plate 17, thus fixing the position of the roller 8. Then, the operator releases the connecting rod 7, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 13 can make the roller 8 firmly contact the mold body 4. This allows the roller 8 to remain in close contact with the mold body 4 when supporting the glass, thus providing stable support for the glass. Since the roller 8 is rotatably connected to the T-block 11 through the rotating shaft 9, the glass can slide when it is bent, thereby reducing the friction between the glass and the roller 8.
