Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass cutting technology, specifically to a glass cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A glass cutter is a tool specifically designed for cutting glass. It is widely used in DIY crafts, glass processing, building materials, and handicrafts. In daily life, by cutting up old glass bottles, the neck can be cut off to make an open vase for holding fresh or dried flowers. Cutting it into a short and stout shape can be used as a pen holder or spice jar. Larger glass bottles can be cut and used as storage containers for grains, snacks, small parts, etc.

[0003] When cutting a glass bottle, the first method is to use a glass cutter. Specifically, mark the cutting position on the surface of the glass bottle with a marker, then place the glass bottle on a table and fix it with a clamp. Then, hold the glass cutter, keeping the blade perpendicular to the bottle body, align it with the marked line, and cut from one end to the other at a uniform speed, completing the cut in one go. Then, drip a few drops of water on the cut position to increase the brittleness of the glass, and then slowly and forcefully break it off.

[0004] The second method involves marking the cutting position with a marker, then soaking a cotton thread in alcohol, tightly wrapping the oil-soaked cotton thread around the cutting line, igniting the cotton thread, and letting it burn completely. After burning, quickly immerse the cut area of ​​the glass bottle in cold water. Utilizing the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the glass will break along the point where the cotton thread is wrapped. Both of these methods are mostly manual operations, which are quite troublesome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] As per the instructions Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a glass cutting machine includes a base plate 1, a sliding plate 2 slidably mounted on the base plate 1, a moving mechanism 3 for driving the sliding plate 2 to slide on the base plate 1, a sliding hole 4 on the sliding plate 2, a slider 5 slidably mounted inside the sliding hole 4, a spring 15 between the slider 5 and the top wall of the sliding hole 4, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably mounted on the slider 5, a rubber plug 7 at one end of the rotating shaft 6, a motor 8 for driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate on one side of the slider 5, a V-shaped plate 9 on the base plate 1, a heating coil 10 in the middle of the V-shaped plate 9, and the V-shaped plate 9 being made of a heat-resistant material, such as a silicon plate.

[0023] The moving mechanism 3 includes a slide groove 11 on the base plate 1, a second slider 12 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 11, the slide plate 2 is fixedly disposed on the second slider 12, a screw 13 is rotatably disposed in the slide groove 11 to drive the second slider 12 to slide, the screw 13 is threadedly connected to the second slider 12, and a second motor 14 is provided on one side of the base plate 1 to drive the screw 13 to rotate.

[0024] As per the instructions Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the base plate 1 is provided with fixing plates 16 on both sides of the V-shaped plate 9, and a connecting plate 17 is provided between the fixing plates 16. A sponge column 18 is slidably provided between the connecting plate 17 and the base plate 1. An electric push rod 19 is provided on the connecting plate 17 to drive the sponge column 18 to slide. A conveying mechanism 20 for conveying water to the sponge column 18 is provided on the connecting plate 17.

[0026] In practical use, the bottle mouth is inserted into the rubber stopper 7, and the slider 5 is moved to position the glass bottle above the V-shaped plate 9. Then, the motor 14 is started, which drives the screw 13 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 13 causes the slider 12 to slide. When the heating coil 10 is at the position to be cut, it stops. The motor 14 is turned off, and the slider 5 is slowly released. The spring 15 pushes the slider 5 down. When the glass bottle is in close contact with the heating coil 10, it stops. Then, the motor 8 and the heating coil 10 are started. The motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, which drives the rubber stopper 7 to rotate. The rubber stopper 7 causes the glass bottle to rotate at a constant speed. The heating coil 10 heats the area to be cut. After heating for a period of time, the valve is opened, and water enters the sponge column 18 from the connecting pipe 22. The sponge column 18 absorbs water and becomes wet. Then, the electric push rod 19 is started. The electric push rod 19 drives the sponge column 18 to contact the glass bottle. At this time, according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the glass bottle will break at the heated point, thus completing the cutting of the glass bottle.
