Abstract
A glass plate breaking machine 1 comprises a flexible endless belt 3 on which a glass plate 2 is placed; a glass plate receiver 4 disposed inside the endless belt 3; a moving unit 5 for moving the glass plate receiver 4 in an X direction and in a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction; a breaking unit 6 disposed above the endless belt 3; a moving unit 7 for moving the breaking unit 6 in the X direction and the Y direction perpendicular to the X direction; and a controller for controlling the operation of the moving unit 5 such that the position of the glass plate receiver 4 moved by the moving unit 5 corresponds to the position of the breaking unit 6, in the breakage of the glass plate 2 by the braking unit 6; a travel unit 8 for travelling the belt 3; and a lifter 9 for lifting the glass plate 2.
Claims9
A machine for breaking glass plate comprising:
- a flexible belt means on which a glass plate is placed;
- a first moving means for moving the belt means;
- a belt support plate with a window for supporting the belt means;
- a glass plate supporting means for supporting the glass plate through the belt means in the window;
- a second moving means for moving the glass plate supporting means in a plane parallel to a surface of the glass plate;
- a breaking means disposed above the belt means;
- a third moving means for moving the breaking means in a plane parallel to the surface of the glass plate;
- and a controller for controlling the operation of the second and third moving means such that the position of the glass plate supporting means moved by the second moving means corresponds to the position of the breaking means moved by the third moving means during a breaking operation of said breaking means for the glass plate on the belt means, the glass plate supporting means being movable to and from a lower surface of the glass plate and having a movable support surface supporting the glass plate through the belt means.
A machine for breaking a glass plate comprising:
- a flexible belt means on which a glass plate is placed;
- a first moving means for moving the belt means;
- a belt support plate with a plurality of windows for supporting the belt means;
- a plurality of glass plate supporting means each disposed at the corresponding window for supporting the glass plate through the belt means;
- a plurality of second moving means each for moving the corresponding glass plate supporting means in a plane parallel to a surface of the glass plate;
- a breaking means disposed above the belt means;
- a third moving means for moving the breaking means in a plane parallel to the surface of the glass plate;
- and a controller for controlling operation of the second and third moving means such that the position of the glass plate supporting means moved by the second moving means corresponds to the position of the breaking means moved by the third moving means during a breaking operation of the breaking means for the glass plate on the belt means, the respective glass plate supporting means being movable to and from a lower surface of the glass plate and having a movable support surface for supporting the glass plate through the belt means.
A machine for breaking a glass plate comprising:
- a flexible belt means on which the glass plate is placed;
- a first moving means for moving the belt means;
- a belt support plate with a plurality of windows for supporting the belt means;
- a plurality of supporting members for supporting the glass plate, each member being disposed at the corresponding window and having a surface for supporting the glass plate through the belt means;
- a plurality of second moving means each for moving the corresponding member for supporting the glass plate in a plane parallel to a surface of the glass plate;
- a breaking means disposed above the belt means;
- a third moving means for moving the breaking means in a plane parallel to the surface of the glass plate;
- and a controller for controlling the operation of the second and third moving means such that the position of the supporting member moved by the second moving means corresponds to the position of the breaking means moved by the third moving means during a breaking operation of the said breaking means for the glass plate on the belt means.
