Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acrylic glass processing technology, specifically to a support device for processing arc-shaped acrylic glass. Background Technology

[0002] Acrylic glass is a polymer compound made from methyl methacrylate. It is an important thermoplastic that was developed relatively early and has excellent properties such as good transparency, stability, corrosion resistance and insulation. According to its shape, it can be divided into acrylic glass sheets, acrylic glass tubes and acrylic glass rods.

[0003] Existing support devices for acrylic glass processing (such as the acrylic glass sheet processing positioning device with application number 202320481468.1) can clamp large pieces of glass in multiple areas by setting multiple extension blocks and moving blocks at the bottom of the acrylic glass sheet. However, the existing support devices have an error of ±5mm in supporting curved acrylic glass sheets, resulting in a 30% reduction in the processing qualification rate, which in turn affects the processing quality of curved acrylic glass. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a support device for processing curved acrylic sheets, which solves the technical problem that the existing support devices for processing acrylic sheets have an error of ±5mm in supporting curved acrylic sheets, resulting in a 30% reduction in the processing qualification rate, and thus affecting the processing quality of curved acrylic sheets.

[0005] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, a support device for processing arc-shaped organic glass includes several support components, which are installed on a support plate in a rectangular array.

[0006] The support assembly includes a first support mechanism, a second support mechanism, and a support block. The first support mechanism is vertically mounted on the support plate, while the second support mechanism is movably mounted on the first support mechanism. The support block is fixedly mounted to the top of the second support rod of the second support mechanism for two-stage linkage support of the support block.

[0007] A pressure sensor and a valve are provided. The pressure sensor is mounted on the surface of the support block, and the valve is mounted on the air inlet pipe on the first support mechanism. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the valve. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure reaches a threshold, the valve closes the gas passage of the air inlet pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the first support mechanism includes a first cylinder and a first support rod, the first support rod being movably installed inside the first cylinder and moving along the vertical direction of the first cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a first elastic element, which is a metal spring, is sleeved on the first support rod for restoring the first support rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the second support mechanism includes a second cylinder and a second support rod. A second piston is mounted at the bottom of the second support rod. The second piston is installed inside the second cylinder and moves along the vertical direction of the second cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, a second elastic element, which is a metal spring, is fitted onto the second support rod to allow the second support rod to return to its original position.

[0012] Furthermore, the support block has an arc-shaped structure and a non-slip outer layer of rubber material on its surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the air inlet pipe on each of the support components is connected to the air delivery pipe, and the air delivery pipe is connected to the air pump so that the air pump delivers high-pressure gas to the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

[0014] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0015] 1. By rectangularly arranging several support components on the support plate, the support height of each support component can be adjusted according to the need to support the arc-shaped structure of the plexiglass, so that the support height on the support component fits the arc-shaped contact surface of the plexiglass, thereby enabling the support device to process and support the bottom of the plexiglass with different curvatures.

[0016] 2. By setting the support assembly as a two-stage linkage support mechanism, the second cylinder on the second support mechanism is movably mounted on the first cylinder, so that the gas output by the air pump enters the first cylinder and pushes the second support rod in the second cylinder to move in the vertical direction, so that the support assembly can be adjusted according to the curvature of the plexiglass, thereby improving the support efficiency of the support device for the plexiglass.

[0017] Third, by setting a pressure sensor on the support block and connecting the pressure sensor to the valve on the air inlet pipe, the pressure sensor transmits the received information to the valve when it senses that the pressure of the plexiglass has reached the threshold, so that the valve closes the gas passage and stops the height adjustment, thereby improving the support accuracy of the support device for the curved plexiglass structure.

[0018] Fourth, through the synergy of two-stage cylinder linkage and pressure feedback, the support accuracy is improved to ±5mm, which is significantly better than the support accuracy of ±2mm of single-stage adjustment, thus improving the support accuracy by 80%. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] A support device for processing arc-shaped acrylic glass, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes several support components 100, which are mounted in a rectangular array on a support plate 200. Each support component 100 has a corresponding air inlet pipe 150 at its bottom, and each air inlet pipe 150 is connected to an air delivery pipe 160, which is connected to an air pump. The air pump has an output pressure of 0.5 MPa, so that the high-pressure gas output by the air pump enters each air inlet pipe 150 from the air delivery pipe 160 and enters the corresponding support component 100 from each air inlet pipe 150. This allows the support height of the support components 100 to be adjusted so that each support component 100 can be adjusted in height along the curved structure of the plexiglass, thereby adapting to the curved height of the plexiglass and providing precise support for the plexiglass.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 100 includes a first support mechanism 110, a second support mechanism 120, and a support block 130. The first support mechanism 110 is vertically installed in the mounting hole on the support plate 200, while the second support mechanism 120 is movably installed on the first support mechanism 110. The support block 130 is fixedly installed on the top of the second support rod 122 of the second support mechanism 120, so that the high-pressure gas input from the air intake pipe 150 enters the first support mechanism 110, thereby pushing the second support mechanism 120 to move along the vertical direction of the first support mechanism 110. Thus, the two-stage linkage adjusts the support height of the support block 130.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, pressure sensor 140 is a pressure sensor with a detection threshold of 0.1-10N. It is installed on the surface of support block 130 and is electrically connected to valve 151 on air inlet pipe 150 via a connecting wire. Valve 151 is a solenoid valve with a response time ≤0.1s. After sensing the pressure threshold of the supported plexiglass, pressure sensor 140 transmits the received information to valve 151, causing the solenoid valve to activate and close the gas passage on air inlet pipe 150, thereby stopping the gas input into the first cylinder 111 and stopping the height adjustment, thus improving the support accuracy of the support device for the curved plexiglass structure.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the first support mechanism 110 includes a first cylinder 111 and a first support rod 112. The first support rod 112 is movably installed inside the first cylinder 111 so that the first support rod 112 moves vertically along the first cylinder 111 under the push of the high-pressure gas delivered by the air inlet pipe 150, thereby compressing the metal spring with the first elastic element 113 sleeved on the first support rod 112. When the solenoid valve is opened again, the delivery of high-pressure gas is shut off, so that the compressed spring returns, thereby driving the first support rod 112 to return, without affecting the reuse of the first support mechanism 110.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the second support mechanism 120 includes a second cylinder 121 and a second support rod 122. A second piston is installed at the bottom of the second support rod 122. The second piston is installed inside the second cylinder 121 so that high-pressure gas pushes the second piston to move in the vertical direction of the second cylinder 121, thereby driving the second support rod 122 installed at the top of the second piston to move in the vertical direction, so that the second elastic element 123 metal spring sleeved on the second support rod 122 is compressed, so that the second support rod 122 can be restored.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the support block 130 has an arc-shaped structure and a non-slip outer layer of rubber material on its surface to increase the friction between the support block 130 and the plexiglass.

[0033] The working principle of the arc-shaped organic glass processing support device of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] In the process of supporting the curved acrylic structure by the support device, in order to improve the support accuracy of the support device for the curved acrylic structure, several support components 100 are arranged in a rectangular array on the support plate 200, so that the support height of each support component 100 can be adjusted according to the curved acrylic structure to be supported, so that the support height on the support component 100 is close to the curved contact surface of the acrylic, thereby enabling the support device to process and support the bottom of acrylic with different curvatures. The support assembly 100 is configured as a two-stage linkage support mechanism, so that the second cylinder 121 on the second support mechanism 120 is movably mounted on the first cylinder 111, thereby allowing the gas output from the air pump to enter the first cylinder 111 and push the second support rod 122 in the second cylinder 121 to move vertically. This allows the support assembly 100 to be adjusted according to the curvature of the acrylic glass, thereby improving the support efficiency of the support device for the curved acrylic glass structure. A pressure sensor 140 is installed on the support block 130 installed on the top of the second support rod 122, and the pressure sensor 140 is electrically connected to the valve 151 on the air inlet pipe 150. After sensing the pressure of the acrylic glass, the pressure sensor 140 transmits the received information to the valve 151, causing the valve 151 to close, thereby stopping the height adjustment and improving the support accuracy of the support device for the curved acrylic glass structure.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles and solutions employed. Furthermore, the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the specific combination of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
