Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the terms of orientation used, such as "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" are defined according to the rotation direction of the cutter head, and specifically, refer to the drawing direction of fig. 1, in which the rotation of the cutter head around the axis of the rotating shaft in the direction substantially rightward in the drawing is defined as clockwise rotation, and the opposite rotation direction is counterclockwise rotation. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the respective component parts as per their contours. Terms such as "first," "second," and the like, used in this disclosure are intended to distinguish one element from another, without order or importance. Further, in the following description, when referring to the figures, the same reference numbers in different figures denote the same or similar elements.

As shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure provides a cutting knife automatic switching system, comprising: the cutter device comprises a cutter frame 100, a cutter device 300 and a driving device 200, wherein the cutter device 300 comprises a cutter disc 310 which is rotatably arranged on the cutter frame 100 and a plurality of cutters 320 which are arranged on the circumferential wall of the cutter disc 310, and the driving device 200 is used for driving the cutter disc 310 to rotate so as to enable the plurality of cutters 320 to be respectively switched to preset positions in a rotating way. Specifically, the tool holder 100 may be a component of a glass substrate slitter used to mount the knife device 300. The driving device 200 can drive the cutter head 310 of the cutter device 300 to rotate, and then the switching of the cutter 320 is completed. It should be noted that the preset position refers to the cutter 320 being in the scribing position facing the glass substrate to be cut, for example, in fig. 1, the position of the first cutter 320a is the preset position, and the driving device 200 can rotate the cutters on the cutter head 310 to the preset position respectively to scribe and cut the glass substrate.

Through the technical scheme, a plurality of cutting knives 320 can be clamped on the cutter head 310, and the plurality of cutting knives 320 can be respectively rotated to the preset positions to cut the glass substrate by driving the cutter head 310 to rotate through the driving device 200. Therefore, after the cutting knife 320 is damaged, the automatic switching of the cutting knife 320 can be realized by rotating the cutter head 310, the shutdown frequency caused by manual replacement of the cutting knife is reduced, the productivity is improved, the risk existing during manual replacement of the cutting knife is reduced, and the personal safety is guaranteed.

Further, referring to fig. 2, the driving device 200 includes a linear driving mechanism 210 installed on the tool holder 100 and a transmission mechanism 220 driven by the linear driving mechanism 210, the tool pan 310 is installed to the transmission mechanism 220, the transmission mechanism 220 is configured to convert the linear motion of the linear driving mechanism 210 into a rotary motion for driving the tool pan 310 to rotate, the linear driving mechanism 210 is adopted to improve the positioning accuracy when the tool pan 310 is driven, the power transmission efficiency is high, the stability of the process of transmitting power to the tool pan 310 can be ensured, the structure of the linear driving mechanism 210 is simple, and the maintenance and repair of workers are facilitated. Here, the linear driving mechanism 210 and the transmission mechanism 220 may be configured to be similar to a crank block, and each of them can convert a linear motion into a rotational motion.

Further, in some embodiments, the linear driving mechanism 210 may be a linear module or a screw stepping motor, and referring to fig. 1, in this embodiment, the driving device 200 may be a power cylinder, and includes a cylinder body 211 rotatably disposed on the tool holder 100 and a piston rod 212 capable of extending and retracting in the cylinder body 211, one end of the cylinder body 211 may be hinged on the tool holder 100, the transmission mechanism 220 may be rotatably connected to the piston rod 212, and the piston rod 212 may extend and retract relative to the cylinder body 211 to drive the transmission mechanism 220 to rotate. When the cutting knife 320 needs to be switched, the piston rod 212 is driven by the driving cylinder body 211, and the transmission mechanism 220 is driven to rotate, so that the cutting knife 320 is switched by the rotation of the cutter head 310 connected with the transmission mechanism 220.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the transmission mechanism 220 includes a rotating shaft 221 rotatably mounted on the tool holder 100, a rotating member 222 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 221, a ratchet wheel 223 fitted around the rotating shaft 221, and a driving pawl 224 provided on the rotating member 222 and capable of engaging with the ratchet wheel 223 to rotate the ratchet wheel 223 by rotation of the rotating member 222. The cutter head 310 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 221, and when the rotating shaft 221 rotates, the cutter head 310 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 221. The rotating member 222 is used for transmitting the power transmitted by the linear driving mechanism 210 to the driving pawl 224, so as to drive the ratchet wheel 223 to rotate, and further drive the cutter head 310 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 221. A driving block 2121 may be connected to one end of the piston rod 212, and one end of the rotating member 222 may be rotatably connected to the piston rod 212 through the driving block 2121 to be driven by the piston rod 212 to rotate about the rotating shaft 221. When the cutting knife 320 needs to be switched, the piston rod 212 is pushed out of the cylinder 211, and power is output to the transmission block 2121 to push the rotation member 222, so that the rotation member 222 can rotate clockwise around the rotation shaft 221, and the connection between the piston rod 212 and the rotation member 222 is facilitated by the arrangement of the transmission block 2121 as an intermediate connection member between the rotation member 222 and the piston rod 212. When the rotating member 222 rotates clockwise, the driving pawl 224 can push the ratchet 223 sleeved on the rotating shaft 221 to rotate synchronously with the rotating member 222, so as to drive the cutter head 310 to rotate clockwise, thereby completing the switching of the cutting knife 320 at the preset position. Here, the timing for judging that the cutting knife 320 needs to be switched may be a preset fixed time, for example, after a fixed period of time, the system automatically controls the driving device to drive the cutter head 310 to rotate, or may also be configured such that a worker determines whether the cutting knife 320 needs to be switched according to the scribing quality of the glass substrate by the cutting knife 320, and the worker may mark the used cutting knife 320 so as to determine that the unused cutting knife can be rotated to a preset position and replaced after all the cutting knives 320 on the cutter head 310 are used. In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism 220 may also include a rack-and-pinion structure, the rack is connected to the linear driving mechanism, the gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft 221, and the rotating shaft 221 and the cutter head 310 sleeved on the rotating shaft 221 may be driven to rotate by the rotation of the gear, so as to complete the switching of the cutting knife 320.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the driving pawl 224 may be rotatably disposed on the rotating member 222 through a pin, a first elastic member 2241 for pressing the driving pawl 224 to the ratchet 223 is disposed on the rotating member 222, one end of the first elastic member 2241 is fixed to the rotating member 222, and the other end is pressed against the driving pawl 224 with a certain pressure, the transmission mechanism 220 may further include a stopping pawl 225 rotatably disposed on the tool holder 100, and a second elastic member 2251 for pressing the stopping pawl 225 to the ratchet 223 may be disposed on the tool holder 100. The second elastic member 2251 has one end fixed to the tool holder 100 and the other end pressed against the stopper pawl 225 with a certain pressure. When the piston rod 212 extends to drive the rotating member 222 to rotate clockwise, the ratchet wheel 223 can be pushed to rotate clockwise by the driving pawl 224, and in the rotating process, the first elastic member 2241 provides a fitting force for providing a stable constant pressure between the driving pawl 224 and the ratchet wheel 223, so that the power transmission effect of the driving pawl 224 can be effectively improved. When the ratchet wheel 223 rotates to a desired position, the piston rod 212 retracts, so as to drive the driving pawl 224 to return to the initial position, and since the first elastic member 2241 presses against the driving pawl 224, the elastic force of the elastic member will cause the ratchet wheel 223 to have a tendency to rotate counterclockwise during the process of returning the driving pawl 224 counterclockwise, in order to avoid the counterclockwise rotation of the ratchet wheel 223, the stopping pawl 225 will be pressed at the tooth position of the ratchet wheel 223 by the second elastic member 2251, so as to prevent the reverse rotation. And the stopping pawl 225 can prevent the ratchet 223 from rotating counterclockwise due to a force applied when the cutter device 300 cuts. Further, by providing the first elastic member 2241 and the second elastic member 2251, the cutter head 310 is prevented from rotating by an external force except for the driving device, and when the cutting blade 320 is switched, the driving force of the driving device can overcome the elastic force of the elastic members to rotate the cutter head 310.

Referring to fig. 1, when the cutter head 310 is mounted on the tool holder 100 through the rotary shaft 221 as described above, the cutter head 310 is detachably fitted over the rotary shaft 221, so that when the cutter head 310 needs to be replaced or repaired or maintained, it is convenient for a worker to remove the cutter head 310 from the rotary shaft 221.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, a first slot 2211 extending in a radial direction may be formed on the rotating shaft 221, a second slot 311 extending in the same direction as the first slot 2211 may be formed on the cutter head 310, the first slot 2211 may be disposed opposite to a notch of the second slot 311, and the first slot 2211 and the second slot 311 may together form a receiving cavity opened at both ends in the radial direction, where the radial direction refers to a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 221, the cutter head 310 is mounted on the rotating shaft through a pin connector 312 capable of being inserted into the receiving cavity in a shape-matched manner, and as shown in fig. 3 and 4 in particular, the second slot 311 on the cutter head 310 is capable of sliding into the rotating shaft 221 from openings at both ends of the first slot 2211 along the extending direction of the first slot 2211, and when the first slot 2211 and the second slot 311 are completely opposed to each other, the two slots may be formed as receiving cavities, and at this time, the pin connector 312 matched with the shape of the receiving cavity may be inserted into the receiving cavity from the opening of the receiving cavity, therefore, the axial and radial positioning of the cutter head 310 is realized, the relative rotation between the cutter head 310 and the rotating shaft 221 is prevented, the connecting effect between the cutter head 310 and the rotating shaft 221 is increased, and the transmission effect is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, the pin joint member 312 may be configured in an L shape, a long side of the L shape is inserted into the accommodating cavity, and a short side of the L shape is stopped at an outer side of an opening of the accommodating cavity to prevent the pin joint member 312 from coming out of the accommodating cavity, so as to ensure the installation stability of the cutter head 310, improve the connection strength between the cutter head 310 and the rotating shaft 221, increase the structural integrity, make the rotation process of the cutter head 310 more stable, and make the cutting process of the cutter 320 more accurate. When the cutter 320 on the cutter head 310 needs to be replaced after being used completely, or when the cutter head 310 needs to be replaced or maintained, the pin joint 312 can be taken out only by pulling the short edge of the pin joint 312 by hand, so that the cutter head 310 can be taken down conveniently and quickly.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 3 and 5, a positioning plate 2212 may be sleeved on the rotating shaft 221, the positioning plate 2212 may be screwed on the rotating shaft 221, and may be positioned by a positioning pin, and in order to facilitate assembly of the positioning plate 2212, a planar base platform that facilitates tightening of a wrench or other tools may be disposed on the positioning plate 2212. A positioning groove 2212a can be formed on the positioning disc 2212, and a positioning protrusion 310a matched with the shape of the groove 2212a can be formed on the cutter disc 310, and the cutter disc 310 can be circumferentially limited by inserting the positioning protrusion 310a into the positioning groove 2212a, so as to limit the rotation of the cutter disc 310 relative to the rotating shaft 221. In this embodiment, the side surface of the positioning plate 2212 can be arranged to be tightly attached to the side surface of the cutter plate 310 when the positioning projection 310a is inserted into the positioning groove 2212a, so as to ensure the tight installation of the cutter plate 310. Meanwhile, the rotating shaft 221 may be provided with a small diameter section configured as a stepped groove for being engaged with the cutter head 310, and the cutter head 310 is clamped at the groove to axially limit the cutter head 310. The cutter head 310 can be accurately mounted on the rotating shaft 221 through the matching of the positioning protrusion 310a and the positioning groove 2212a, and the positioning structure arranged on the component body is easy to form, so that the connection is more reliable, more compact and stronger in integrity. The installation of the cutter head 310 is realized by arranging the positioning disc 2212, so that the contact area of the cutter head 310 during installation can be increased, and the power transmission effect is ensured. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the positioning manner of the cutter head 310 may be one of the fixing manner of the pin 312 and the fixing manner of the positioning plate 2210, or both of them may be used together, that is, a positioning protrusion 310a may be formed on one side of the cutter head 310, and a second slot 311 may be formed on the other side, so as to form positioning on both sides of the cutter head 310, thereby providing reliability of the system.

In the disclosed embodiment, a plurality of cutters 320 are detachably and uniformly distributed on the circumferential wall of the cutter head 310. In this way, the adjacent cutters 320 can be switched by controlling the cutter head 310 to rotate by a fixed angle, and the convenience of the worker for overhauling and maintaining the cutter device 300 is improved by a detachable installation mode. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, the cutter head 310 may be a polygon, and the number of the cutters 320 may be the same as the number of the sides of the polygon, for example, the number of the cutters 320 may be six, and the six cutters may be correspondingly disposed on six sides.
