AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing glass plate folding systems require multiple areas for folding side and end edges, leading to inefficiencies in space, energy consumption, and cost, as well as prolonged processing times.
Method used
A folding system that integrates scribe line formation and edge folding into a single area using a folding cutter wheel and pressing members, combined with a rotating mechanism to perform 90° rotations and folding operations efficiently.
Benefits of technology
Enables miniaturization, reduces energy consumption, and lowers costs while allowing for rapid and efficient folding of both side and end edges of a glass plate without the need for separate machinery in multiple areas.

Abstract
This invention provides a folding and cutting system that enables miniaturization, energy saving, and cost reduction, while allowing for the efficient folding and cutting of both side edges and both end edges of a glass plate in a short amount of time. [Solution] The glass plate splitting system includes: a first scribe line forming means that forms scribe lines extending in the transport direction of the glass plate on the first and second side edges of the glass plate using a splitting cutter wheel; a first splitting means that presses the formed first and second side edges of the glass plate with pressing bars 63a and 63b to split the first and second side edges; a rotating means that rotates the glass plate by 90° after splitting so that the center line dividing the width dimension of the glass plate in half is perpendicular to the transport direction; a second scribe line forming means that forms scribe lines extending in the transport direction on the front and rear end edges of the rotated glass plate using a splitting cutter wheel; and a second splitting means that presses the formed front and rear end edges of the glass plate with pressing bars 63a and 63b to split the front and rear end edges.
