[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the present invention provides a glass conveyor belt anti-collision structure, including:

[0026] A conveying component 1, a rolling component 2 and a preset component 3. The conveying component 1 includes two first brackets 11, a conveyor belt 12, a photoelectric sensor 13, a control module 14 and a plurality of baffles 15. The first bracket 11 has a first groove 16. The conveyor belt 12 is slidably connected to the two first brackets 11 and is located between the two first brackets 11. The plurality of baffles 15 are slidably connected to the two first brackets 11 and are located in the first groove 16, contacting the conveyor belt 12. The rolling component 2 includes a moving rod 21, a spring 22 and a roller 23. The moving rod 21 is slidably connected to the first bracket 11 and passes through the first bracket 11. The roller 23 is rotatably connected to the moving rod 21 and is located on the side of the first bracket 11 close to the conveyor belt. The spring 22 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 21 and is located between the first bracket 11 and the roller 23. There are a plurality of the rolling components 2, which are respectively slidably connected to the two first brackets 11. The photoelectric sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 11 and is located on the side of the first bracket 11 close to the baffle 15.

The preset belt 32 is slidably connected to the second brackets 31 and is located between the two second brackets 31.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly 1 includes two first brackets 11, a conveyor belt 12, a photoelectric sensor 13, a control module 14, and a plurality of baffles 15. The first bracket 11 has a first groove 16. The conveyor belt 12 is slidably connected to the two first brackets 11 and is located between the two first brackets 11.

The plurality of baffles 15 are slidably connected to the two first brackets 11 and are located in the first groove 16. The first groove 16 surrounds the conveyor belt 12. The baffles 15 contact the conveyor belt 12, so that the baffles 15 can rotate with the conveyor belt 12 under the action of friction. Using the baffles 15 can separate two adjacent pieces of glass to avoid collision. When the glass on the conveyor belt 12 has not been removed, the glass in front will push the baffle 15, causing the baffle 15 to lose friction and slide relative to the conveyor belt 12, so as to separate the glass on the conveyor belt 12 in turn. The rolling assembly 2 includes a moving rod 21, a spring 22, and a roller 23. The moving rod 21 is slidably connected to the first bracket 11 and passes through the first bracket 11.

The photoelectric sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 11 and is located on the side of the first bracket 11 close to the slide bar 152. The control module 14 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor 13 and is located on one side of the photoelectric sensor 13. The presetting assembly 3 includes two second brackets 31 and a presetting belt 32. The two second brackets 31 are located on one side of the first bracket 11.

After the photoelectric sensor 13 detects that the baffle 15 reaches the predetermined position, the model of the control module 14 can be ARD2F-25 / QTJCSR-90L, which can control the rotation of the presetting belt 32 to place the glass.By first placing the glass on the preset belt 32, the impact directly on the conveyor belt 12 can be reduced. The rolling components 2 can reduce the impact on both sides of the glass and the conveyor belt 12. The baffle 15 can separate adjacent glasses, thus greatly improving the anti-collision performance of the conveyor belt 12, and solving the problem that the existing conveyor belt 12 is prone to bumping and damaging the glass during glass transportation.

[0030] Further, the preset component 3 further includes an extension plate 34. The extension plate 34 is fixedly connected to the two second brackets 31 and is located between the conveyor belt 12 and the preset belt 32.

[0031] In this embodiment, the extension plate 34 is used to reduce the distance between the preset belt 32 and the conveyor belt 12, and avoid the glass from hanging and falling when being transferred between the preset belt 32 and the conveyor belt 12.

[0032] Further, the extension plate 34 has a plurality of second grooves 35. The plurality of second grooves 35 are distributed on the extension plate 34.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second rubber pads 153 are used to reduce the impact force generated when the baffle body 151 contacts the glass to prevent the glass from being damaged, and further enhance the anti-collision performance of the conveyor belt 12.

[0038] Further, the baffle 15 further includes two smooth layers 154, and the two smooth layers 154 are respectively fixedly connected to the two second rubber pads 153 and are located on the side of the second rubber pads 153 away from the baffle body 151.

[0039] In this embodiment, the smooth layer 154 can be made of spandex fabric, which is elastic and has a smooth surface, and can reduce the friction between the glass and the baffle body 151, making it easier for the glass to rotate.

[0040] Further, the slide bar 152 is a hollow structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hollow slide bar 152 can greatly reduce the weight of the slide bar 152, making it easier for the glass to push the baffle body 151.

[0042] Further, the conveyor belt 12 has a plurality of protrusions 17, and the plurality of protrusions 17 are distributed on the side of the conveyor belt 12 close to the baffle body 151.

[0044] Further, the conveying assembly 1 further includes shock-absorbing foot pads 18, and the shock-absorbing foot pads 18 are respectively fixedly connected to the two first brackets 11 and are located on the side of the first brackets 11 away from the baffle 15.

[0045] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing foot pads 18 are used to reduce the vibration from the ground, so that the conveyor belt 12 can operate more smoothly and avoid transmitting the vibration to the glass and damaging the glass.

[0046] On the other hand, the present invention provides a glass conveyor belt anti-collision device, including the glass conveyor belt anti-collision structure, and further including:

[0047] The driving assembly 4, the driving assembly 4 includes a first motor 41, a first pulley 42, a second motor 43 and a second pulley 44. The first pulley 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the first motor 41 and is in contact with the conveyor belt 12. The second pulley 44 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor 43 and is in contact with the pre-set belt 32. The second motor 43 is electrically connected to the control module 14.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first motor 41 and the second motor 43 can select the GH reducer of WanXin Precision Industry. The first motor 41 drives the first pulley 42 to rotate, so as to move the conveyor belt 12 to transport the glass. The control module 14 sends a signal to the second motor 43 to control the movement of the pre-set belt 32 to transfer the glass onto the conveyor belt 12.

[0049] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 . After the present invention is installed, glass is placed on the pre-set belt 32. After the photoelectric sensor 13 detects that the baffle 15 is transported to the predetermined position, the control module 14 rotates the pre-set belt 32 so that glass is placed behind the baffle 15. If the distance between two baffles 15 is less than the length of the glass, the latter baffle 15 will be pressed by the glass and slide relative to the conveyor belt 12 until the glass completely passes through and the latter baffle 15 can follow the movement of the conveyor belt 12. Thus, the adjacent two pieces of glass can be separated by the baffle 15. When the glass hits the first bracket 11, the spring 22 compresses to absorb the impact caused by the glass to protect the glass. Under the action of friction, the roller 23 rotates to adjust the position of the glass so that the glass and the first bracket 11 are gradually separated, thereby avoiding damage to the glass on the conveyor belt 12 during transportation.
