Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass rod cutting technology, specifically a glass rod cutting device suitable for glass lens processing. Background Technology

[0002] Glass lenses are optical elements made of glass. They control the light path by refraction. Because glass has good light transmittance, stable refractive index and wear resistance, it is often used as a convex lens and a concave lens. Lenses used in lighting use the principles of refraction and reflection to straighten the light beam. They can focus light, scatter light or change the angle of illumination. They are commonly found in car lights, stage lights, projectors, etc. They can improve the light efficiency and achieve effects such as focused lighting and uniform light distribution. They are an important component in lighting systems for adjusting the distribution of light. In the manufacturing process, glass rods need to be prepared first, and then the glass rods are cut into short glass columns, which are then softened, pressed, ground and polished into shape.

[0003] Existing technologies typically cut glass rods segment by segment, resulting in low efficiency. A cutting device capable of sequentially cutting multiple segments is needed to achieve high-efficiency cutting. Therefore, we propose a glass rod cutting device suitable for glass lens processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass rod cutting device suitable for glass lens processing. By having multiple saw blades with adjustable adjacent spacing installed on the outer ring of the rotating rod through a sleeve, the spacing of the saw blades can be adjusted according to the required length of the glass rod to be cut. The position of the counterweight support can be adjusted so that it is placed on the base surface on both sides of the saw blade to support the glass rod. This allows for the cutting of multiple glass rods at once, improving the cutting efficiency of the glass rod and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glass rod cutting device suitable for glass lens processing, comprising a base and an upper plate, the upper plate being supported and positioned directly above the base, a first electric push rod being vertically mounted above the upper plate, a lifting plate located below the upper plate being horizontally fixed at the extended end of the first electric push rod, a rotating rod being horizontally rotatably mounted on the bottom of the lifting plate via a side plate, the rotating rod being connected to a motor drive mounted on the outer surface of its end plate, and multiple... Each saw blade has a sleeve fixed to the middle of its side, which can be slidably fitted onto the outer ring of a rotating rod. A locking bolt is screwed onto the surface of the sleeve, with its end penetrating into the inner side of the sleeve and pressing against the outer surface of the rotating rod. A groove is horizontally opened on the surface of the base directly below the rotating rod. A counterweight support is placed on the surface of the base above the groove. A support groove is opened on the surface of the counterweight support, and a slider placed in the groove is fixed at the bottom of the counterweight support. Each pair of adjacent counterweight supports forms a group, and multiple groups are provided. The number of counterweight supports is twice that of the saw blade.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the spacing between adjacent saw blades is adjusted according to the length of the glass rod to be cut into glass columns. Then, the position of the counterweight support is adjusted according to the position of the saw blades. The counterweight support is used to support the glass rod. Then, multiple saw blades are used to cut the glass rod, which can cut the glass rod into multiple segments at the same time and improve the cutting efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, a second electric actuator is vertically embedded and fixed inside the counterweight support on the side of the support groove, and a pressure plate located above the support groove is fixed to the top of the second electric actuator.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the glass rod is placed in the support groove and cut, the pressure plate presses down on the glass rod to prevent it from rotating during cutting.

[0009] Optionally, a rubber pad is fixed to the surface of the support groove, and the rubber pad is fixed to the surface of the support groove by means of adhesion.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass rod is pressed tightly against the surface of the rubber pad, which has a good anti-slip effect to prevent it from rotating.

[0011] Optionally, the side of the rotating rod is provided with a protrusion that is integrally connected to it, and the protrusion can be slidably locked in a slot provided in the inner ring of the sleeve.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex strip is stuck in the slot of the sleeve, which prevents the saw blade from slipping when the rotating rod drives the saw blade to rotate.

[0013] Optionally, at least two first electric actuators are mounted on the upper surface of the upper plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple electric actuators can be controlled synchronously to drive the upper plate to rise and fall stably.

[0015] Optionally, the height of the slider is less than the depth of the groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the counterweight support is directly supported on the base surface, making it less prone to sliding during use.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0018] 1. The technical solution of this application has multiple saw blades with adjustable adjacent spacing installed on the outer ring of the rotating rod through a sleeve. The spacing of the saw blades can be adjusted according to the required length of the glass column to be cut, and the position of the counterweight support can be adjusted so that it is placed on the base surface on both sides of the saw blade to support the glass rod. This allows multiple glass columns to be cut at once, improving the cutting efficiency of the glass rod.

[0019] 2. The technical solution of this application embeds and fixes a second electric push rod inside the side of each counterweight support, which can drive the pressure plate to lower the height and press the glass rod tightly in the support groove, thus avoiding the glass rod from rotating or sliding when cutting the glass rod.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass rod cutting device suitable for glass lens processing, including a base 1 and an upper plate 2. The upper plate 2 is supported by pillars at its four bottom corners and is placed directly above the base 1, and the upper plate 2 is arranged parallel to the surface of the base 1.

[0026] A first electric actuator 21 is vertically installed above the upper plate 2. There are at least two first electric actuators 21. The end of the extended end of the first electric actuator 21 is horizontally fixed to a lifting plate 3 located below the upper plate 2. The lifting plate 3 is parallel to the surface of the upper plate 2 and the base 1. A rotating rod 31 is horizontally rotatably installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 3 through the side plate. The rotating rod 31 is connected to a motor 32 installed on the outer surface of the end plate. The motor 32 can drive the rotating rod 31 to rotate at high speed, while the first electric actuator 21 controls the lifting height of the lifting plate 3.

[0027] To achieve the goal of simultaneously cutting the glass rod into multiple segments, multiple saw blades 4 are slidably fitted onto the outer ring of the rotating rod 31. Each saw blade 4 has a sleeve 41 fixed at the middle of its side, which is slidably fitted onto the outer ring of the rotating rod 31. As the sleeve 41 slides on the outer ring of the rotating rod 31, the spacing between adjacent saw blades 4 can be adjusted to adapt to different cutting length requirements. A locking bolt 411 is screwed onto the surface of the sleeve 41. After tightening, the end of the locking bolt 411 will penetrate to the inside of the sleeve 41 and press against the outer surface of the rotating rod 31 to lock the position of the saw blade 4.

[0028] In addition, the side of the rotating rod 31 is provided with a protrusion 311 that is integrally connected to it. The protrusion 311 can be slidably locked in the slot 412 provided in the inner ring of the sleeve 41. When the rotating rod 31 drives the saw blade 4 to rotate, the protrusion is locked in the slot 412, which can prevent the saw blade 4 from slipping when cutting the glass rod.

[0029] A horizontal groove 11 is provided on the surface of the base 1 directly below the rotating rod 31. A counterweight support 5 is placed on the surface of the base 1 above the groove 11. A support groove 51 is provided on the surface of the counterweight support 5, and a slider 53 placed in the groove 11 is fixed at the bottom of the counterweight support 5. Each pair of adjacent counterweight supports 5 forms a group, and multiple groups are provided. The number of counterweight supports 5 is twice that of the saw blade 4. After the saw blade 4 is adjusted to the correct position, the position of the counterweight support 5 is adjusted so that a counterweight support 5 is placed on the base 1 on both sides directly below each saw blade 4. After the saw blade 4 is lowered, the saw blade 4 is lowered between two adjacent counterweight supports 5. The height of the slider 53 is less than the depth of the groove 11, so that the counterweight support 5 will be supported on the surface of the base 1. Under the action of its own weight, the counterweight support 5 is not easy to slide when it is adjusted to the correct position.

[0030] During cutting, the glass rod to be cut is placed into the support groove 51 of the counterweight support 5. Then, the motor 32 is started to drive the rotating rod 31 and the saw blade 4 to rotate, and the first electric push rod 21 is controlled to drive the lifting plate 3 to lower the height. Thus, the glass rod is cut into multiple segments at the same time using the saw blade 4. During the cutting process, in order to cool down the saw blade 4, a spray pipe can be set to spray water onto the saw blade 4, which can not only cool down the glass but also reduce dust.

[0031] When cutting a glass rod, the glass rod is prone to rotating or shifting to the side due to the rotation of the saw blade 4. To avoid this problem, a second electric push rod 52 is vertically embedded and fixed inside the counterweight support 5 on the side of the support groove 51. A pressure plate 521 located above the support groove 51 is fixed to the top of the second electric push rod 52, and a rubber pad 511 is fixed to the surface of the support groove 51. The rubber pad 511 is fixed to the surface of the support groove 51 by adhering to it. Before the saw blade 4 lowers its height to cut the glass rod, the second electric push rod 52 is controlled to drive the pressure plate 521 to lower its height, so that the glass rod is pressed tightly against the rubber pad 511 on the surface of the support groove 51. This prevents the glass rod from rotating or shifting when the saw blade 4 cuts the glass rod.

[0032] In use, the glass rod is cut into glass columns as needed. The spacing between adjacent saw blades 4 is adjusted. The locking bolt 411 is loosened so that its end is no longer pressed against the outer surface of the rotating rod 31, allowing the sleeve 41 to drive the saw blade 4 to slide and adjust its position on the outer ring of the rotating rod 31. After adjusting the spacing between adjacent saw blades 4 to the required length of glass column to be cut, the locking bolt 411 is tightened so that its end is pressed against the outer surface of the rotating rod 31, thereby locking the position of the saw blade 4. Then, the position of each counterweight support 5 is adjusted. The slider 53 is placed in the sliding position within the slide groove 11 to adjust the position of the counterweight support 5, ensuring that a counterweight support 5 is adjusted and placed on the base 1 on both sides directly below each saw blade 4. After the saw blade 4 is lowered, it is lowered exactly between two adjacent counterweight supports 5. Under the self-weight of the counterweight support 5, the adjusted counterweight support 5 is not easily... The sliding position connects the first electric actuator 21, the second electric actuator 52, and the motor 32 to the industrial control computer, allowing the glass rod to be cut to be placed into the support groove 51 of the counterweight support 5 from the front end. Then, the second electric actuator 52 is controlled to lower the pressure plate 521, pressing the glass rod firmly against the rubber pad 511 on the surface of the support groove 51. Next, the motor 32 is started to rotate the rotating rod 31 and the saw blade 4, while the first electric actuator 21 lowers the lifting plate 3, thus using the saw blade 4 to simultaneously cut the glass rod into multiple segments, significantly improving cutting efficiency. After cutting, the first electric actuator 21 raises the lifting plate 3, and the second electric actuator 52 raises the pressure plate 521, allowing the cut glass rod to be removed. The small piece cut off at the very end of the glass rod can be recycled as waste, and subsequent glass rod cutting operations can be performed in the same manner. To cool the saw blade 4 during cutting, a water spray pipe can be installed to spray water onto each saw blade 4.
