Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass edging technology, and in particular to a glass edging and chamfering module. Background Technology
[0002] Glass is widely present in our living environment, such as in buildings for wind insulation and light transmission, and in furniture for enhancing aesthetics. The use of glass inevitably involves cutting it to obtain the desired shape. However, the edges of cut glass are sharp and can easily cause cuts. Therefore, it needs to be chamfered to form a curved surface to reduce the risk of being cut. However, current glass edging machines on the market cannot chamfer while edging the glass. The same piece of glass requires multiple positioning and calibrations before edging and chamfering can be performed separately. This results in low edging / chamfering efficiency and reduced finished product quality due to multiple calibrations. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a glass grinding and chamfering module that can simultaneously grind and chamfer glass, improving the efficiency of grinding and chamfering, and eliminating the need for multiple positioning and calibration of the glass position, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.
[0005] This application provides a glass edging and chamfering module, including a power component, an edging wheel assembly, and a chamfering wheel assembly. The edging wheel assembly and the power component are velocally connected. The power component can drive the edging wheel assembly to approach and move away from the glass, and control the orientation of the edging wheel assembly relative to the glass. The chamfering wheel assembly and the power component are velocally connected. The power component can drive the chamfering wheel assembly to approach and move away from the glass, and control the orientation of the chamfering wheel assembly relative to the glass.
[0006] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages:
[0007] The edging wheel assembly and the power assembly are connected by a transmission. The power assembly can control the orientation of the edging wheel assembly relative to the glass and drive the edging wheel assembly closer to and away from the glass. Similarly, the chamfering wheel assembly and the power assembly are connected by a transmission. The power assembly can control the orientation of the chamfering wheel assembly relative to the glass and drive the chamfering wheel assembly closer to and away from the glass. When the edging wheel assembly approaches and contacts the glass, it can edge the glass. At the same time, when the chamfering wheel assembly approaches and contacts the glass, it can grind away any protrusions on the glass to form a curved surface, reducing the risk of people being cut by the glass. Before or after edging, the edging wheel assembly can be driven away from the glass, and before or after chamfering, the chamfering wheel assembly can be driven away from the glass to avoid the glass and facilitate the handling of the glass. This application can perform edging and chamfering on the glass simultaneously, improving the efficiency of edging and chamfering and eliminating the need for multiple positioning and calibration of the glass position, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0017] In the production of engineering glass, edge grinding and chamfering are essential after the glass is cut and trimmed.
[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a glass edging and chamfering module, including a power component 1, an edging wheel assembly 2, and a chamfering wheel assembly 3. The edging wheel assembly 2 and the power component 1 are connected by a transmission. The power component 1 can drive the edging wheel assembly 2 to approach and move away from the glass, and control the orientation of the edging wheel assembly 2 relative to the glass. The chamfering wheel assembly 3 and the power component 1 are connected by a transmission. The power component 1 can drive the chamfering wheel assembly 3 to approach and move away from the glass, and control the orientation of the chamfering wheel assembly 3 relative to the glass.
[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the edging wheel set 2 can approach and contact the glass to edge it, while the chamfering wheel set 3 can approach and contact the glass to grind away the protrusions on the glass, forming a curved surface and reducing the risk of people being cut by the glass. Before or after edging, the edging wheel set 2 can be driven away from the glass, and before or after chamfering, the chamfering wheel set 3 can be driven away from the glass to avoid it and facilitate the handling of the glass. This application can perform edging and chamfering on the glass simultaneously, improving the efficiency of edging and chamfering, and eliminating the need for multiple positioning and calibration of the glass position, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.
[0020] Traditional machining centers typically use a single rotating spindle to drive forming wheels to grind the edges of glass. For different shaped glass, manual positioning and calibration are required multiple times, and different forming wheels need to be changed according to different glass thicknesses, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0021] This application employs both edge grinding wheel set 2 for edge grinding and chamfering wheel set 3 for chamfering the glass. Even for irregularly shaped glass, it is not necessary to repeatedly position and calibrate the glass, and it is not necessary to change the grinding wheel according to the thickness of the glass, which can greatly improve production efficiency.
[0022] It should be noted that irregularly shaped glass mainly refers to irregular polygonal glass, such as triangular glass, quadrilateral glass, pentagonal glass, etc.
[0023] The glass edging and chamfering module of this application can be used for edging and chamfering straight-edged irregular glass, grinding away the protrusions and sharp edges on the edges of the straight-edged irregular glass; the glass edging and chamfering module can be driven to travel along a preset path 4, causing the edging wheel group 2 to travel along the preset path 4 to edge the glass, and causing the chamfering wheel group 3 to travel along the preset path 4 to chamfer the glass. The edging wheel group 2 includes at least one edging grinding wheel 21, and at least one edging grinding wheel 21 is disposed on the chamfering wheel in the direction of travel along the preset path 4. In front of Group 3, although this application can perform edge grinding and chamfering simultaneously, this synchronization is based on time as a reference point. In reality, edge grinding and chamfering are performed simultaneously at different positions on the glass edge. For the same position on the glass, this application can perform edge grinding first and then chamfering. It is only necessary to drive the glass edge grinding and chamfering module to move on the preset path 4 to complete the two processes of edge grinding and chamfering. Moreover, after the glass edge grinding and chamfering module completes one stroke, the shape of the glass it processes can meet the requirements of the worker, which will save a lot of time in the process.
[0024] Depending on the actual requirements, some glass may need to be polished after the chamfering is completed, which is also done by the edge grinding wheel set 2 and the chamfering wheel set 3.
[0025] Furthermore, for straight-edged irregular glass of different shapes, the power assembly 1 of this application can control the orientation of the grinding wheel assembly 2 relative to the glass and the orientation of the chamfering wheel assembly 3 relative to the glass, so that the grinding wheel assembly 2 and the chamfering wheel assembly 3 can be adapted to the edge direction of the straight-edged irregular glass of different shapes. This can quickly align the edge of the glass and perform grinding and chamfering on these glasses.
[0026] In some embodiments, the chamfering wheel set 3 includes at least one pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31. The pattern generated by the projection of each pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31 onto the projection plane perpendicular to the preset path 4 forms an angle. Thus, each pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31 can simultaneously chamfer the edge of the glass, enabling double-sided chamfering of the glass edge, resulting in high chamfering efficiency and better chamfering quality.
[0027] In actual production, the amount of edge grinding and chamfering varies for different shapes of glass. Even for different types of glass with the same shape, the amount of edge grinding and chamfering can be different. In this case, the amount of edge grinding and chamfering can be controlled by controlling the position of the glass edge grinding and chamfering module of this application relative to the preset path 4, or by controlling the length of the edge grinding wheel group 2 and the chamfering wheel group 3 extending into the preset path 4.
[0028] In some embodiments, the edge grinding wheel group 2 further includes a first drive 22, which is connected to the edge grinding wheel 21 in a one-to-one or one-to-many manner. The first drive 22 can drive and control the length of the edge grinding wheel 21 extending into the preset path 4. Similarly, the chamfering wheel group 3 includes a second drive 32, which is connected to each pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31 in a one-to-one manner, or to each chamfering grinding wheel 31 in a one-to-many manner, or to all chamfering grinding wheels 31. The second drive 32 can drive and control the length of the chamfering grinding wheel 31 extending into the preset path 4.
[0029] If a large amount of edge grinding is required, the first drive 22 can be used to increase the length of the edge grinding wheel 21 extending into the preset path 4; conversely, the length of the edge grinding wheel 21 extending into the preset path 4 can be reduced. Similarly, if a large amount of chamfering is required, the second drive 32 can be used to increase the length of the chamfering wheel 31 extending into the preset path 4; conversely, the length of the chamfering wheel 31 extending into the preset path 4 can be reduced.
[0030] Since the position of the chamfering grinding wheel 31 is adjustable, the angle between the two chamfering grinding wheels 31 projected onto the projection surface is also adjustable. The position of the angle can coincide with or deviate from the center position of the image projected onto the projection surface by the edge grinding wheel 21, in order to adapt to the chamfering requirements of glass of different thicknesses. If a slight chamfer is required, the position of the angle formed by the above projection can be controlled to be off-center from the center of the image projected onto the edge grinding wheel 21. If a large angle chamfer is required, the position of the angle formed by the above projection needs to be controlled to be at the center of the image projected onto the edge grinding wheel 21.
[0031] As a preferred option, the included angle can be set to 60°-120°.
[0032] As a preferred option, the first drive 22 and the second drive 32 can be either linear motors or rotary adjusters.
[0033] The edging grinding wheel 21 rotates to edge the glass, and the chamfering grinding wheel 31 rotates to chamfer the glass. The first drive 22 cannot affect the rotation of the edging grinding wheel 21, and the second drive 32 cannot affect the rotation of the chamfering grinding wheel 31.
[0034] In some embodiments, the grinding wheel assembly 2 further includes a third drive 23, which is connected to the first drive 22 in a one-to-one or one-to-many manner. The third drive 23 can drive the first drive 22 to rotate, thereby driving the grinding wheel 21 to rotate, so as to grind the glass.
[0035] Similarly, the chamfering wheel assembly 3 also includes a fourth drive 33, and the second drive 32 is connected to each chamfering grinding wheel 31 in a corresponding manner. The fourth drive 33 is connected to the second drive 32 in a corresponding manner. The fourth drive 33 can drive the second drive 32 to rotate, thereby driving the chamfering grinding wheel 31 to rotate, so as to chamfer the glass.
[0036] In some embodiments, the fourth drive 33 is connected to each chamfering wheel in a one-to-one or one-to-many manner, and the fourth drive 33 can drive the chamfering grinding wheel 31 to rotate. The second drive 32 is connected to the fourth drive 33 in a one-to-one manner, or the second drive 32 is connected to the fourth drive 33 in a one-to-many manner, and the second drive 32 can drive and control the fourth drive 33 to slide linearly, so as to drive and control the length of the chamfering grinding wheel 31 extending into the preset path 4.
[0037] As a preferred option, the first drive 22 and the second drive 32 are either knob adjusters or linear motors, and the third drive 23 and the fourth drive 33 are both motors. If a knob adjuster is used, the knob adjuster uses a screw and nut mechanism to extend its end. The end of the knob adjuster is connected to the grinding wheel 21 and the chamfering wheel 31. When the worker rotates the knob, the grinding wheel 21 or the chamfering wheel 31 can be extended. The motor drives the knob adjuster to rotate through the synchronous belt, which can drive the grinding wheel 21 or the chamfering wheel 31 to rotate.
[0038] To improve the quality and efficiency of edge grinding, the edge grinding wheel set 2 includes at least four edge grinding wheels 21. These edge grinding wheels 21 can be arranged sequentially along the preset path 4. Each edge grinding wheel 21 can be driven by the corresponding first drive 22 to control the length of its extension into the preset path 4. For example, the length of the edge grinding wheels 21 arranged sequentially in the front and back direction into the preset path 4 can be gradually increased. This allows for more thorough edge grinding of the glass after the glass edge grinding and chamfering module has completed one stroke, resulting in higher efficiency and better quality edge grinding.
[0039] Similarly, to improve the chamfering quality and efficiency, the chamfering wheel set 3 may include multiple pairs of chamfering grinding wheels 31. All pairs of chamfering grinding wheels 31 are arranged sequentially along the preset path 4. Each pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31 can be driven by the corresponding second drive 32 to control the length of its extension into the preset path 4. For example, along the preset path 4, the length of each pair of chamfering grinding wheels 31 arranged sequentially in the front and back directions into the preset path 4 can be gradually increased. This can make the glass chamfering more thorough after the glass edge grinding and chamfering module completes one stroke, resulting in higher efficiency and better quality chamfering.
[0040] Furthermore, in the direction of travel along the preset path 4, all the grinding wheels 21 of the grinding wheel group 2 are positioned in front of the chamfering wheel group 3.
[0041] In some embodiments, the grinding wheel set 2 and the chamfering wheel set 3 are driven by the power component 1 to move independently, or are driven by the power component 1 to move synchronously.
[0042] The power unit 1 can independently control the edge grinding wheel set 2 or the chamfering wheel set 3 to approach the glass, and can independently control the orientation of the edge grinding wheel set 2 or the chamfering wheel set 3 relative to the glass, so as to only grind or chamfer the glass.
[0043] The power unit 1 can also synchronously drive and control the grinding wheel group 2 and the chamfering wheel group 3 to move close to the glass so as to simultaneously grind and chamfer the glass;
[0044] Alternatively, the power unit 1 can synchronously drive and control the edge grinding wheel group 2 and the chamfering wheel group 3 to move close to the glass. However, the first drive 22 increases the length of the edge grinding wheel 21 of the edge grinding wheel group 2 extending into the preset path 4, or the second drive 32 decreases the length of the chamfering wheel 31 of the chamfering wheel group 3 extending into the preset path 4. This allows the glass to be edged separately. If chamfering is required, the first drive 22 can also decrease the length of the edge grinding wheel 21 of the edge grinding wheel group 2 extending into the preset path 4, or the second drive 32 can increase the length of the chamfering wheel 31 of the chamfering wheel group 3 extending into the preset path 4. This allows the glass to be chamfered separately.
[0045] Based on this, the glass edging and chamfering module of this application can flexibly switch between edging and chamfering processes, and has a variety of application scenarios.
[0046] As a preferred option, the edge grinding wheel 21 and chamfering grinding wheel 31 of this application are flat grinding wheels. For glass of different thicknesses, this application does not need to change the type of grinding wheel, which greatly increases the versatility of the grinding wheel for glass thickness and reduces cost investment.
[0047] In some embodiments, the power assembly 1 includes a first power mechanism 11, a first seat 12, a second power mechanism 13, and a second seat 14. The first power mechanism 11 and the first seat 12 are connected by transmission, and the first power mechanism 11 can drive the first seat 12 to rotate. The second power mechanism 13 and the second seat 14 are both disposed on the first seat 12 and are connected by transmission. The second power mechanism 13 can drive the second seat 14 to slide linearly. The grinding wheel set 2 and the chamfering wheel set 3 are both disposed on the second seat 14 and can move synchronously with the second seat 14.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the first power mechanism 11 includes a first motor 111, a first gear 112, and a driven gear 113. The first motor 111 and the first gear 112 are connected in a transmission relationship, the first gear 112 and the driven gear 113 are meshed, and the first seat 12 is connected to the driven gear 113. The first motor 111 can drive the first gear 112 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 113 and the first seat 12 to rotate, and in turn driving the second seat 14 and the grinding wheel set 2 and the chamfering wheel set 3 on it to rotate synchronously, so as to change the orientation of the grinding wheel relative to the glass, so as to adapt to the shape and edge direction of the glass, and to grind and chamfer the glass.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first base 12 and the driven gear 113 are coaxially arranged, and the second base 14 is disposed inside the first base 12. This saves space and facilitates the arrangement of wires inside the first base 12, preventing them from being damaged by glass shards during edge grinding or chamfering, thus ensuring production safety and smooth production operations.
[0050] In some embodiments, the second power mechanism 13 includes a lead screw and nut mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism, a linear motor, or a cylinder. For example, if the second power mechanism 13 is a gear and rack mechanism, the gear and rack mechanism includes a second motor 131, a second gear 132, and a rack 133. The second motor 131 and the second gear 132 are both mounted on the second base 14 and are connected in a transmission manner. The second gear 132 and the rack 133 are meshed together. The rack 133 is mounted on the first base 12. The second motor 131 drives the second gear 132 to rotate. The second gear 132 has… There is a tendency for relative movement with the rack 133. The rack 133 is fixed on the first seat 12 and does not move. Relatively speaking, the rack 133 applies a reaction force to the second gear 132, driving the second gear 132 to move along the axial direction of the rack 133. This causes the second seat 14 and the grinding wheel set 2 and chamfering wheel set 3 on it to slide linearly, so as to approach or move away from the glass. The grinding wheel set 2 and chamfering wheel set 3 approach the glass to grind and chamfer the glass. The grinding wheel set 2 and chamfering wheel set 3 move away from the glass to avoid the glass and facilitate the handling of the glass.
[0051] Specifically, a slider and a slide rail 141 can be provided between the first seat 12 and the second seat 14 to assist the second seat 14 in sliding relative to the first seat 12, so that the second seat 14 slides more smoothly.
