The present invention relates to a processing apparatus for a glass plate having a cutting device for pressing the glass plate on which the cutting line for cutting is formed and pressing and cutting the glass plate along the cutting line to cut the glass plate into a desired shape.

The glass plate processing apparatus which manufactures the glass plate of a predetermined shape from the glass plate which is disk glass is normally provided under the cutting head means which presses and cuts along the cutting line by pressing the glass plate in which the cutting line was formed, and the cutting head means. A cutting device having a support means for supporting a glass plate to be cut is provided, and the support means includes an endless belt and a support plate for supporting the endless belt almost flatly from its rear surface. When the cutting head means presses the glass plate and presses and cuts the glass plate along the cutting line, the cutting head means is pressed against the glass plate mounted on the endless belt.

By the way, when the endless belt is almost flatly supported from the rear surface by the support plate, it is difficult to generate a predetermined warp in the glass plate only by pressing the push rod onto the glass plate, and the glass plate along the cutting line is not cut. May occur. Therefore, the template previously formed in cut shape is arrange | positioned between an endless belt and a support plate, the edge part is formed around the edge of a template, and a glass plate is made through the edge part in the sticking of the push bar to the glass plate. When making it easy to bend, it is necessary to prepare a corresponding template every time the cutting shape is changed and to arrange it between the endless belt and the support plate, which makes work very cumbersome. In addition, even if the support plate is provided with an opening, and only the periphery of the endless belt is supported by the support plate and is easily bent at the opening, this time, the endless belt in the entire vicinity of the pressing position is pressed by pressing the push bar to the glass plate. It may fall down and a cutting | disconnection may not occur also by this.

Further, in the processing apparatus of the glass plate as described above, a preprocessing step such as a cutting line forming step of forming a cutting line for cutting the original glass is arranged as a previous step of the cutting step. From this pre-processing step to the cutting step, the glass plate subjected to the pre-processing is carried in. If the glass plate subjected to the pre-processing is lifted for carrying in, the glass plate may be broken and an unexpected accident may occur. There is concern. In addition, when the cutting line forming device and the cutting device in series are arranged in series, they occupy a very narrow and long space, making it difficult to effectively use the glass plant processing plant.

The belt 60 may be transported to the cutting position by traveling of the belt 60, but instead, the pneumatic cylinder equivalent to the pneumatic cylinder 154 is further coupled to the movable table 153, and the suction is applied to the piston rod of the additional pneumatic cylinder. A suction pad equivalent to the pad 155 is combined, and further, a movable stand 153, a frame 151, etc. are formed so that the additional suction pad can move on the endless belt 161, and the additional suction pad is cut. Cutting position of the glass plate 2 on which the line 3 is formed It may be conveyed to paper. In this case, the carrying-out means 74 with the additional pneumatic cylinder and the suction pad lifts the glass plate 2 from the cutting line forming step 4 to the cutting step 6, which is the previous step. It also serves as a conveying means for conveying.

According to the processing apparatus 1 of the glass plate mentioned above, since the partial support mechanism 81a, 81b, 81c, 81d is provided, it does not need a cutting template etc. and cuts arbitrary shapes by program change. Can be done. In addition, according to the processing apparatus 1 of the glass plate, a plurality of cutting head means 72a, 72b, a plurality of moving means 73a, 73b, a plurality of partial support mechanisms 81a, 81b, 81c, 81d and Since a plurality of moving means 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d are provided and shared by them, cutting is possible, so that cutting can be performed at high speed.

Further, according to the processing apparatus 1 of the glass plate shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the glass plate 2 having the cutting line 3 formed in the cutting line forming step 4, which is the previous step, is endless of the supporting means 71. Since it can be carried in the cutting step 6 while being mounted on the belt 60, the accident, such as causing a crack in the glass plate 2 in which the cutting line 3 was formed, can be eliminated in an import operation, According to the processing apparatus 1 of the glass plate shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, since the endless belt 60 is independent of the previous stage endless belt 161, the cutting apparatus 7 is a cutting line forming step of the previous stage ( 4) It can have a certain degree of freedom in the arrangement relationship, so that the cutting device 7 can be installed corresponding to the installation space of the processing plant of the glass plate, so that the effective use of the processing plant of the glass plate can be promoted. have.
