Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals as the main raw materials, with the addition of a small amount of auxiliary raw materials. It is widely used in construction, daily necessities, medical, chemical, electronic, instrumentation, nuclear engineering and other fields. After glass is produced and cut, its edges are relatively sharp and the dimensions need to be corrected. Therefore, it is necessary to use an edge grinding machine to grind the glass edges.

[0003] When traditional small square glass needs to have its edges and corners polished, the user usually uses a handheld edge grinder. However, the glass is not very stable, and if the glass shifts position while the user is grinding the edges, the polishing will not be uniform. In addition, when polishing different sides of the glass, manual edge switching is required, which is cumbersome and prone to errors and bumps, thus increasing the scrap rate of the glass.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a glass edging machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass edging machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A glass edging machine includes a worktable, a grinding wheel above the worktable, a suction cup above the worktable for adsorbing glass, a connecting column at the bottom of the suction cup, and a shaped groove on the surface of the worktable for the connecting column to slide. The shaped groove includes a horizontal part and an oblique part. The interior of the worktable is provided with a switching unit that drives the connecting column to rotate the glass.

[0006] Preferably, the switching unit includes a toothed ring located on the outer wall of the connecting column, and a fixed plate is provided in the central area of ​​the worktable. The fixed plate has an overall triangular shape, and a folded strip is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate. The outer wall of the folded strip is provided with multiple protrusions. The multiple protrusions are divided into two rows and all mesh with the toothed blocks of the toothed ring. After both sets of protrusions have fully meshed with the toothed ring, the toothed ring has rotated a quarter turn.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the connecting column is provided with a connecting buckle, the inside of the connecting buckle is fitted with a telescopic belt, the other end of the conveyor belt is provided with a slider, the inside of the slider is provided with a screw, the outer wall of the slider is provided with a fixed groove and is slidably connected to it, both ends of the fixed groove are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the workbench, and the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the fixed groove through the frame.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the worktable is provided with an electric push rod, the end of which is provided with a cover plate. The screw is provided with rotational power by an external drive device, which is electrically connected to the electric push rod.

[0009] Preferably, the middle part of the horizontal portion has a concave shape, the side of the fixing plate has a protruding shape, and the distance between the protruding surface of the fixing plate and the concave surface of the horizontal portion is equal to the diameter of the connecting column.

[0010] Preferably, a transmission roller is provided above the worktable, and the bottom surface of the glass contacts the outer wall surface of the roller inside the transmission roller.

[0011] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In this invention, when the screw causes the slider to move the connecting column to the other end of the horizontal section, the electric push rod will push the baffle to close the path for the connecting column to return laterally. Then, the slider is driven to pull the connecting column through the telescopic belt, sliding it within the inclined section until the toothed ring on the outer wall of the connecting column engages with the multiple protrusions on the folded strip. The connecting column then rotates the glass 90 degrees, automatically flanging the glass. With the continuous push of the screw, the slider returns to its original position, after which the glass can be polished again. Compared to existing technologies, this automated flanging process eliminates the need for manual edge changing, improving operational convenience and accuracy, and increasing the glass yield.

[0013] Meanwhile, as the connecting column enters the recessed area of ​​the horizontal part during the sliding process, and the outer wall is blocked by the protruding area of ​​the fixing plate, the suction cup will slightly squeeze the grinding wheel and multiple grinding rollers along the side of the glass, thereby increasing the friction on the side of the glass, making the grinding edges more uniform, and improving the grinding effect.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass edging machine, comprising:

[0021] Example

[0022] The worktable 1 has a grinding wheel 2 fixedly connected to it on top. A suction cup 3 is also located above the worktable 1 to hold the glass securely in place, providing sufficient stability for side grinding. A transmission roller 20 is fixedly connected to the worktable 1, with the bottom surface of the glass contacting the outer wall of the roller inside. The transmission roller 20 increases the contact area during glass sliding, maintaining balance and improving grinding efficiency. A connecting post 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the suction cup 3. The surface of the worktable 1 has a shaped groove 5 for the connecting post 4 to slide, comprising a horizontal section 6 and two oblique sections 7. Inside the worktable 1 is a switching unit 8 that drives the connecting post 4 to rotate the glass. The switching unit 8 allows the glass to automatically rotate for grinding, eliminating the need for manual rotation, improving operational convenience and accuracy, and increasing the yield rate of the glass.

[0023] The switching unit 8 includes a toothed ring 9 located on the outer wall of the connecting column 4. The inner wall of the toothed ring 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 4. A fixing plate 10 is provided in the central area of ​​the worktable 1. The overall shape of the fixing plate 10 is triangular. A folded strip 11 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 10 and is fixedly connected to it. A plurality of protrusions 12 are provided on the outer wall of the folded strip 11 and are all fixedly connected to it. The plurality of protrusions 12 are divided into two rows and are all engaged with the toothed blocks of the toothed ring 9. After the two sets of protrusions 12 are fully engaged with the toothed ring 9, the toothed ring 9 rotates a quarter turn, thereby causing the connecting column 4 to drive the glass to automatically perform the edge rotation work.

[0024] The bottom end of the connecting column 4 is provided with a connecting buckle 13 and is rotatably connected to it. The inside of the connecting buckle 13 is fitted with a telescopic belt 14. The other end of the conveyor belt is provided with a slider 15, and the telescopic belt 14 is fitted into the buckle of the slider 15. The inside of the slider 15 is provided with a screw 16 and is threadedly connected to it. Both ends of the screw 16 are rotatably connected to the worktable 1. The outer wall of the slider 15 is provided with a fixing groove 17 and is slidably connected to it. Both ends of the fixing groove 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worktable 1. The fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing groove 17 through the frame. The bottom of the worktable 1 is provided with an electric push rod 18 and is fixedly connected to it. The end of the electric push rod 18 is provided with a cover plate 19 and is fixedly connected to it. The screw 16 is provided with rotational power by an external drive device. The external drive device is electrically connected to the electric push rod 18. When the external drive device causes the slider 15 to move the connecting column 4 to the other end of the transverse part 6, the electric push rod 18 automatically starts and pushes the cover plate 19 to block the middle area of ​​the transverse part 6.

[0025] In addition, the middle part of the horizontal part 6 has a concave shape, the side of the fixing plate 10 has a protruding shape, and the distance between the protruding surface of the fixing plate 10 and the concave surface of the horizontal part 6 is equal to the diameter of the connecting column 4.

[0026] Working principle;

[0027] The operator can center the entire square glass piece on the suction cup 3, and place one side of the glass against the sides of multiple grinding rollers. Then, the external drive device is activated to rotate the screw 16, which in turn causes the slider 15 to move laterally within the fixed groove 17. The slider 15, through the telescopic belt 14, causes the connecting column 4 to move laterally within the transverse section 6. During this process, because the connecting column 4 enters the recessed area of ​​the transverse section 6 and its outer wall is blocked by the protruding area of ​​the fixing plate 10, the suction cup 3 will slightly squeeze the grinding wheel 2 and multiple grinding rollers along with the side of the glass, thereby increasing the friction on the side of the glass, making the grinding of the edges more uniform, and improving the grinding effect.

[0028] Furthermore, when the screw 16 causes the slider 15 to move the connecting post 4 to the other end of the transverse section 6, it indicates that one side of the glass has been polished. At this time, the electric push rod 18 will automatically activate and push the baffle 19 to block the middle area of ​​the transverse section 6, thus closing the transverse return path of the connecting post 4. Then, the screw 16 can be driven to reverse, causing the slider 15 to pull the connecting post 4 through the telescopic belt 14 to slide within the inclined section 7 until the toothed ring 9 on the outer wall of the connecting post 4 engages with the multiple protrusions 12 on the folding strip 11. The connecting post 4 will then drive the suction cup 3 and the glass to rotate 90 degrees, thereby automatically flipping the glass. Under the continuous push of the screw 16, the slider 15 will return to its original position. After this, the screw 16 can be driven again to perform another glass polishing operation. Compared with the existing technology, the automated flanging process for the glass side eliminates the need for manual edge changing, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation and increasing the yield rate of the glass.
