Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass cleaning technology, and in particular to a glass platform buffer mechanism and a cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass processing industry, especially when cleaning products with high surface quality requirements such as electronic glass and optical glass, cleaning machines are crucial production equipment. Their core workflow typically involves placing the glass substrate to be processed on a movable glass platform, which is then conveyed beneath a high-speed rotating grinding disc. The grinding disc rotates while applying downward pressure, cleaning foreign matter from the glass surface through relative friction.

[0003] The equipment commonly used in the industry today has a relatively simple and direct relationship between the glass platform and the grinding disc above it. During processing, after the glass platform moves to the predetermined position below the grinding disc, the grinding disc descends vertically until its working surface contacts the glass surface and applies a preset pressure. This working mode is essentially a rigid contact; from the moment of contact to the instant a stable grinding state is established, the impact force of the grinding disc on the glass is instantaneous. This hard contact method carries inherent technical risks for glass materials, which are inherently brittle. If the downward pressure setting of the grinding disc is slightly off, or if the glass itself has minor thickness variations or internal stress, it can easily cause scratches, micro-cracks, or even direct breakage of the glass surface at the moment of contact.

[0004] If glass is damaged during processing, the entire production line must be shut down. Operators need to stop the machine to handle the situation and manually remove the broken glass fragments. More importantly, to determine the root cause of the problem, staff must spend time troubleshooting to determine whether the damage stems from a quality defect in the glass substrate itself or from improper settings of the grinding disc pressure parameters. This frequent, unplanned downtime and tedious manual diagnostic process significantly consumes effective production time, directly restricting equipment efficiency and capacity output, making it difficult to increase production volume. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is: how to effectively avoid the risk of glass damage between the glass platform and the grinding disc, thereby improving production efficiency and product yield.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, in a first aspect, this utility model provides a glass platform buffer mechanism, comprising: Glass platform; A grinding disc, positioned above the glass platform, is used to clean the glass; A buffer device is disposed on the underside of the glass platform to provide a buffering force to the glass platform when the grinding disc contacts the glass on the glass platform.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the buffer device includes at least one buffer cylinder, and one of the cylinder body or piston rod of the buffer cylinder is connected to the bottom of the glass platform.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the number of buffer cylinders is two, and the two buffer cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the glass platform.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a control module and a proportional valve, the control module is connected to the proportional valve, and the proportional valve is connected to the buffer cylinder.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the glass platform buffer mechanism also includes a human-computer interaction device, which is connected to the control module.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the human-computer interaction device is a touch screen.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a first water spraying device, which is used to spray water onto the glass platform.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a second water spraying device, which is used to spray water onto the grinding disc.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the glass platform buffer mechanism also includes a driving device, which is connected to the grinding disc.

[0015] Secondly, this utility model provides a cleaning machine, including the glass platform buffer mechanism described in the first aspect.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by the embodiments of this utility model include: This invention proposes a glass platform buffer mechanism, comprising a glass platform; a grinding disc disposed above the glass platform for cleaning the glass; and a buffer device disposed below the glass platform to provide a buffering force to the glass platform when the grinding disc contacts the glass.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Similar component reference numerals in the drawings represent similar components. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0024] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0025] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a glass platform buffer mechanism, including a glass platform 10, a grinding disc 20, and a buffer device. The specific structure is described below: The glass platform 10 is used to carry the glass and can move horizontally along the frame under the drive of the moving module 80.

[0026] A grinding disc 20 is disposed above the glass platform 10 and is used to clean the glass.

[0027] A buffer device is disposed on the lower side of the glass platform 10 to provide a buffering force to the glass platform 10 when the grinding disc 20 contacts the glass on the glass platform 10.

[0028] When the grinding disc 20, positioned above the glass platform 10, descends to contact the glass surface during processing, the buffer device applies a controllable buffering force to the glass platform 10 in the opposite direction to the downward pressure of the grinding disc 20. This transforms the initially instantaneous rigid impact into a gradual, flexible force loading process. The buffer device effectively absorbs and dissipates most of the impact kinetic energy generated at the moment of contact with the grinding disc 20, allowing the load to be applied smoothly to the brittle glass surface. This significantly reduces the risk of stress concentration exceeding the strength limit of the glass material, thus significantly reducing the risk of glass damage.

[0029] This invention proposes a glass platform buffer mechanism, including a glass platform 10; a grinding disc 20 disposed above the glass platform 10 for processing glass; and a buffer device disposed below the glass platform 10 to provide buffering force to the glass platform 10 when the grinding disc 20 contacts the glass on the glass platform 10. By providing a buffer device below the glass platform 10, the rigid contact between the grinding disc 20 and the glass is transformed into a flexible contact, effectively absorbing impact energy and significantly reducing the risk of glass damage. This improvement directly reduces downtime caused by breakage, improves equipment operating efficiency and production capacity, increases product qualification rate due to reduced processing defects, and reduces labor maintenance costs, thus achieving overall synergistic optimization of production efficiency and product quality.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the buffer device includes at least one buffer cylinder 30, one of which, either the cylinder body or the piston rod, is connected to the bottom of the glass platform 10. For example, in this embodiment, the cylinder body of the buffer cylinder 30 is connected to the bottom of the glass platform 10, and a support structure, such as a support plate, is provided on the underside of the piston rod of the buffer cylinder 30 to provide stable reaction force support.

[0031] In specific implementation, the buffer device is further defined as at least one buffer cylinder 30. As a mature pneumatic actuator, the buffer cylinder 30 can provide a stable and controllable linear buffering force. Compared to simple passive buffering elements such as springs, the cylinder is driven by air pressure, and its buffering force can be conveniently and precisely controlled by adjusting the inlet air pressure. This allows the buffer device to flexibly adapt to the buffering force required by different thicknesses, materials, or process requirements, thereby achieving precise and adjustable buffering effects. For example, for thinner or more brittle glass, a lower cylinder pressure can be set to provide a gentler buffer; while for processes requiring higher grinding pressure, the cylinder pressure can be increased accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, there are two buffer cylinders 30, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the glass platform 10.

[0033] In specific implementation, two buffer cylinders 30 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the glass platform 10. This ensures the balance of the buffering force. The symmetrical layout allows the pressure applied to the glass platform 10 by the grinding disc 20 to be evenly distributed and offset, thereby effectively preventing the glass platform 10 from tilting or twisting under force. If the buffer device is biased to one side, it will cause uneven force on the platform, which may cause the glass to be subjected to uneven grinding pressure, affecting the processing quality, and may also cause additional wear on the motion guide rail of the glass platform 10 itself. Therefore, the symmetrically arranged cylinders ensure that the glass platform 10 maintains a stable posture throughout the buffering process. This is crucial for obtaining a uniform grinding effect and protecting the long-term stability of the equipment's mechanical structure, and is an important guarantee for achieving high-quality and consistent processing.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a control module and a proportional valve 40, wherein the control module is connected to the proportional valve 40 and the proportional valve 40 is connected to the buffer cylinder 30.

[0035] In practical implementation, a control module and a proportional valve 40 are added. This combination enables automated and precise program control of the pressure in the buffer cylinder 30. The proportional valve 40 is a high-precision component that can proportionally control fluid pressure or flow rate using an electrical signal (generated by the control module). By presetting or adjusting the electrical signal output to the proportional valve 40 through the control module, the buffer pressure of the cylinder can be set accurately and continuously, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of parameter setting.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, a human-computer interaction device is also included, which is connected to the control module.

[0037] In practice, the use of human-machine interface devices greatly enhances the ease of operation and the user-friendliness of the interaction. Operators can input or modify the buffer force setting through intuitive human-machine interface devices (such as keyboards, button panels, or touch screens). This reduces the professional skills required of operators, simplifies the operation process, and reduces the risk of equipment failure or process parameter errors due to misoperation.

[0038] For example, in some preferred embodiments, the human-computer interaction device is a touch screen.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a first water spraying device 50 for spraying water onto the glass platform 10.

[0040] In a specific implementation, the number of first water spray devices 50 can be multiple, such as two, and the two first water spray devices 50 are respectively arranged on both sides of the glass platform 10.

[0041] When the grinding disc 20 contacts the glass for grinding, heat and grinding debris are generated. The first water spray device 50 sprays water onto the glass platform 10, which effectively cools the contact area between the glass and the grinding disc 20, preventing thermal stress cracking of the glass due to overheating or affecting the lifespan of the grinding disc 20. At the same time, the water flow can promptly wash away the generated grinding debris, preventing it from accumulating between the glass surface and the grinding disc 20 and causing secondary scratches. This continuous cooling and cleaning effect is of positive significance for maintaining stable grinding results, ensuring the quality of glass surface processing (improving yield), and extending the service life of consumables such as the grinding disc 20.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a second water spraying device 60 for spraying water onto the grinding disc 20.

[0043] In a specific implementation, there may be multiple second water spray devices 60, such as two, and the two second water spray devices 60 are respectively arranged on both sides of the grinding disc 20.

[0044] The second water spray device 60 sprays water onto the working surface of the grinding disc 20, ensuring that the coolant and cleaning fluid are effectively carried into the grinding zone by the high-speed rotating grinding disc 20, achieving more efficient and direct cooling and lubrication. This helps to form a more stable grinding fluid film, reduces dry grinding, and thus obtains a smoother, scratch-free glass surface.

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, the glass platform buffer mechanism further includes a drive device 70, which is connected to the grinding disc 20.

[0046] In practice, the drive unit 70 (usually a motor) provides the power for the grinding disc 20 to rotate and grind, which is the basis for realizing the glass processing function.

[0047] The operation flow of this utility model embodiment is as follows: First, the lifting arm moves the glass to be processed onto the glass platform 10. Then, the first water spraying device 50 and the second water spraying device 60 are activated, spraying water onto the glass surface and the working surface of the grinding disc 20, respectively. Next, the glass platform 10 carries the glass to the processing station below the grinding disc 20. Then, the grinding disc 20 begins to descend, and after contacting the glass surface, it continues to descend to a preset processing depth. After that, the glass platform 10 moves the glass horizontally under the grinding disc 20 at a low speed until the glass is completely out of contact with the grinding disc 20, and the processing is completed.
