Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass cover plate processing technology, and in particular to a novel polishing system. Background Technology

[0002] The core of optical glass surface scratch repair is to remove the damaged material layer through grinding and polishing techniques, restoring its light transmittance and smoothness, thereby enabling the reuse of the component. Existing technologies typically rely on manual operation, with the following steps: Manual inspection and location marking: Workers use incandescent light sources and magnifying glasses to identify the scratch location under transmitted or reflected light, and circle the marked area with a crayon or similar tool to ensure accurate positioning; Polishing operation: After visually locating the marks, polishers manually apply liquid or solid polishing wax and use a motor-driven polishing wheel to grind the scratched area, avoiding excessive heat that could cause the glass to crack; Cleaning treatment: After polishing, residue is manually wiped away, and the glass is placed in a cleaning fixture, using white iodine oil or other non-corrosive solvents to clean surface stains in a cleaning machine; Effect inspection: Finally, the scratch is visually inspected or checked with a magnifying glass to see if it has been completely removed. If significant defects remain, the above process is repeated until it is satisfactory. While this process can repair shallow scratches, it relies on manual labor and is prone to accuracy deviations, and repairing deep scratches may cause glass distortion, affecting optical performance.

[0003] Therefore, a new solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate typical embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0022] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a novel polishing system provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1As shown, the novel polishing system provided by this utility model includes an automatic optical inspection device 100, a barcode scanner 200, a polishing device 300, and a server 400. The automatic optical inspection device 100 and the barcode scanner 200 are communicatively connected to the server 400, and the barcode scanner 200 is also communicatively connected to the polishing device 300. The automatic optical inspection device 100 is used to detect defect information on the glass and send the detected defect information to the server 400. The barcode scanner 200 is used to scan the QR code information on the glass and obtain the defect information from the server 400 based on the QR code information. The polishing device 300 is used to polish the glass based on the defect information. In this embodiment, the automated optical inspection equipment typically includes a high-resolution CCD camera (20 megapixels), a multi-angle LED light source array, and an RS485 communication interface. This is used to perform high-precision defect detection on the glass surface based on existing algorithms, identifying parameters such as scratch location and depth. The defect information is then bound to the glass's identification information via the communication interface and transmitted to the server. The scanning equipment typically integrates an industrial-grade QR code scanner (supporting DPM codes) and a CAN bus interface. This is used to read QR codes or barcodes on the glass surface, obtain glass-related identification information, and synchronize it with defect data in the cloud server to ensure that the defect records for each piece of glass are accurate. Each piece of glass is individually linked to its identity information. After scanning, the scanning device can retrieve detailed defect information related to the glass from the cloud, including the location, size, and depth of the defects. This method not only ensures the accurate transmission of defect information but also avoids errors that may occur when manually inputting data. The polishing equipment includes a polishing module and a flipping device, which automatically generate corresponding polishing programs based on the defect information obtained from the cloud. These programs adjust parameters such as polishing intensity, speed, and path according to factors such as the type, size, and location of the defects. Those skilled in the art will understand that generating polishing programs based on defect information is an existing algorithm, and this application has not made any improvements. The server can be a locally deployed industrial control computer connected to each device via gigabit Ethernet. This system reduces manual intervention, achieves efficient production through automated processes, and avoids human error. Through the combination of the scanning device and the cloud system, all information can be traced back to the specific glass batch, ensuring the traceability of product quality.

[0023] Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the polishing equipment. Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the polishing equipment from another perspective. Figure 4 As shown Figure 1 A top view of the polishing equipment shown. Figure 2-4As shown, the polishing equipment 300 includes a loading / unloading worktable 310, a polishing worktable 320, a loading device 330, a transfer device 340, a polishing device 350, an unloading device 360, and a cleaning device 370. The loading device 330, the transfer device 340, and the unloading device 360 ​​are installed above the loading / unloading worktable 310, and the barcode scanner 200, the polishing device 350, and the cleaning device 370 are installed above the polishing worktable 320. The upper surface of the loading / unloading worktable 310 is provided with a wafer feeding station 3101, a positioning station 3102, and a wafer receiving station 3103. The positioning station 3102 is located between the wafer feeding station 3101 and the wafer receiving station 3103.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the loading device 330 is installed above the glass-opening station 3101, which is the initial placement position for the glass. After being taken out of the automatic optical inspection equipment, the glass is stacked on this station. This station ensures that the glass is neatly stacked, facilitating subsequent operations. The loading device 330, located above the glass-opening station 3101, is responsible for taking the glass out of the glass-opening station 3101 and placing it on the positioning station 3102. In automated operation, the loading device ensures that the glass is moved in the correct posture and reduces human intervention. The transfer device 340 is installed above the positioning station 3102, which is located between the glass-opening station 3101 and the glass-receiving station 3103. The glass is precisely positioned at this station to ensure the accuracy of subsequent operations. The transfer device 340 is responsible for transferring the positioned glass from the positioning station 3102 to the glass placement station 3202 of the polishing worktable 320. This process is fully automatic, ensuring that the glass is accurately transferred to the correct position and reducing errors. The unloading device 360 ​​is installed above the receiving station 3103. After the glass completes the entire polishing and cleaning process, it is finally transferred to the receiving station. The unloading device is responsible for removing the finally cleaned glass from the receiving station and performing subsequent operations or factory processing.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the polishing worktable 320 includes a rotatable base 3201 and multiple glass placement stations 3202 disposed on the upper surface of the rotatable base 3201. The rotatable base is the key to the polishing worktable, enabling switching between the multiple glass placement stations 3202, allowing each piece of glass to be processed in different processes. Each glass placement station is used to place the glass to be polished, and these stations move as the rotatable base rotates, ensuring the correct placement of each piece of glass in different processes.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the barcode scanning device 200 is installed above the polishing worktable 320. With the rotation of the rotatable chassis 3201, each glass placement station 3202 is rotated to a position below the scanning device to scan the QR code on the glass. The scanning device reads relevant information about the glass from the cloud, including defect data uploaded by the automatic optical inspection equipment. This information helps the system determine the polishing requirements of each piece of glass, thereby generating a corresponding polishing program.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the polishing device 350 is located above the polishing worktable 320 and is responsible for automatically polishing the glass. After the glass is scanned and the necessary information is obtained, the chassis 3201 rotates the glass placement station 3202 to be placed under the polishing device 350 for precise polishing. The polishing device executes the polishing operation according to instructions from the cloud, ensuring that each glass surface is polished uniformly and precisely.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 370 is installed above the polishing worktable 320 and is responsible for the initial cleaning of the polished glass. This step removes excess polishing dust and other residues from the glass surface to ensure the effectiveness of subsequent cleaning. In this step, the cleaning device removes most of the residues from the glass surface through spray washing and water absorption technology.

[0029] Figure 5 As shown Figure 2 A partial view of the loading device of the polishing equipment shown; as Figure 5 As shown, the loading device 330 includes a first horizontal slide 3301, a first sliding member 3302, a first fixing member 3303, and a loading gripper 3304. The upper end of the first sliding member 3302 is slidably connected to the first horizontal slide 3301, the first fixing member 3303 is installed at the lower end of the first sliding member 3302, and the loading gripper 3304 is slidably connected to the first fixing member 3303. The first horizontal slide is the track system of the loading device, providing a sliding path; the first sliding member 3302 is located in the first horizontal slide 3301 and can move horizontally within the slide 3301 through a sliding connection; the first fixing member 3303 is installed at the lower end of the first sliding member 3302 and is used to fix the loading gripper; the loading gripper 3304 is slidably connected to the first fixing member 3303 and is responsible for gripping the glass and transferring it from the glass feeding station to the positioning station. This structural design allows the loading gripper to achieve precise and flexible loading and unloading operations through the coordinated action of the sliding member and the fixing member.

[0030] Figure 6 As shown Figure 2 A partial view of the unloading device of the polishing equipment shown, as follows: Figure 5As shown, the unloading device 360 ​​includes a second horizontal chute 3601, a second sliding member 3602, a second fixing member 3603, and an unloading gripper 3604. The upper end of the second sliding member 3602 is slidably connected to the second horizontal chute 3601, the second fixing member 3603 is installed at the lower end of the second sliding member 3602, and the unloading gripper 3604 is slidably connected to the second fixing member 3603. The second horizontal chute 3601 provides a track system for the unloading device, supporting the horizontal movement of the sliding member; the second sliding member 3602 is connected to the second horizontal chute 3601 and can slide within the chute to complete the horizontal movement of the unloading component; the second fixing member 3603 is installed at the lower end of the second sliding member 3602 to fix the unloading gripper; the unloading gripper 3604 is slidably connected to the second fixing member 3603 and is responsible for taking the cleaned and polished glass from the receiving station and transferring it to the next operation or for shipment. This sliding device design allows for efficient and precise loading and unloading processes, while reducing manual intervention and increasing the level of automation in production.

[0031] The workflow of the novel polishing system provided by this utility model is as follows: Glass is taken out from the automatic optical inspection equipment and stacked in the glass feeding station 3101. Then, the feeding device 330 takes out the glass from it and places it in the positioning station 3102 for positioning. Then, the transfer device 340 automatically transfers the glass to the glass placement station 3202 on the polishing worktable 320. The rotatable base 3201 drives the glass placement station 3202 to rotate so that the glass placement station 3202 rotates under the scanning device, where a QR code is scanned. The scanning device reads the glass information uploaded by the automatic optical inspection equipment from the cloud. Then, the rotatable base 3201 drives the glass placement station 3202 to rotate so that the glass placement station 3202 rotates under the polishing device 350 for automatic polishing. After polishing, the rotatable base 3201 drives the glass placement station 3202 to rotate so that the glass placement station 3202 rotates under the cleaning device 370 for preliminary cleaning. The cleaned glass is then transferred to the cleaning machine for final cleaning.

[0032] The entire system automates the glass processing through precise loading and unloading, positioning, barcode scanning, polishing, and cleaning. The automated design of each step not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the quality of polishing and the thoroughness of cleaning. Furthermore, the combination of barcode scanning and cloud data reading provides strong support for intelligent equipment management, ensuring seamless connection and efficient operation throughout the entire process.
