Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass sheet processing equipment, and in particular to a high-efficiency glass transfer mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material. With the development of society and scientific progress, glass is used in equipment in various fields and scenarios. In order to improve the strength of glass, it is usually tempered by physical tempering. The specific principle is: after heating the glass to a suitable temperature and then cooling it rapidly, the surface of the glass shrinks sharply, generating compressive stress, while the middle layer of the glass cools more slowly and has no time to shrink, so tensile stress is formed, thus making the glass have higher strength.

[0003] In the prior art, ordinary glass sheets are usually placed in a high-temperature tempering furnace to complete heating and then rapidly cooled, so that the surface of the cooled glass forms compressive stress and the inside of the glass forms tensile stress, thereby achieving the effect of improving the strength of the glass. In order to maximize the use of the tempering furnace, each tempering operation needs to put in as many glass sheets as possible, so the glass sheets need to be arranged before being placed in the tempering furnace. In the prior art, there are transfer equipment designed to transport glass sheets, but this type of equipment generally has the following problems: ①, the loading operation of the glass sheets requires manual operation or manual assistance, which will consume a lot of manpower costs and low processing efficiency; ②, due to reasons such as size, the glass sheets cannot be placed directly on the transfer equipment when loading, otherwise the glass sheets are easily damaged; ③, the glass sheets are easily misaligned during loading, resulting in a high error rate in the arrangement of the glass sheets, affecting subsequent tempering operations.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the prior art to invent a transfer device that can achieve smooth and rapid loading of glass sheets. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the flip arm assembly is a four-bar linkage, which includes a first link and a second link. The first link and the push rod are rotatably connected, and the second link is used to place the glass sheet. The flip arm assembly is used to convert the reciprocating motion of the push rod into the rotational motion of the flip arm assembly through the setting of its four-bar linkage.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a glass sheet anti-damage structure, which is arranged on the top of the flip arm assembly and is used to contact the glass sheet, thereby preventing the glass sheet from being scratched or damaged.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a suction cup fixture, which is movably fixed on the flip arm assembly, and the suction cup fixture is used to place the glass sheet, thereby playing a role in fixing the glass sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a buffer and damping mechanism, which includes a hydraulic cylinder, a piston rod and a swivel arm. The piston rod is telescopically arranged on the hydraulic cylinder, one end of the swivel arm is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to the piston rod. The hydraulic cylinder is used to provide resistance to the rotation of the fixed shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a swing arm structure and a first rotating tooth, one end of the swing arm structure is fixedly connected to the first rotating tooth, and the other end is rotatably connected to the push rod, and the first rotating tooth is used to drive the swing arm structure to rotate, thereby driving the push rod to perform reciprocating motion in an inclined direction.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of loading stations, each of which includes a plurality of swing arm structures, and a plurality of the loading stations are connected by synchronous rotation via the fixed shaft, thereby completing the loading operation of a plurality of glass sheets at the same time.

[0015] Furthermore, the bracket includes a fixed bracket and a sliding bracket, the flip arm assembly is rotatably disposed on the sliding bracket via the rotating shaft, the sliding bracket is slidably disposed on the fixed bracket, and the sliding bracket is used to increase the rotation angle of the flip arm assembly by moving.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a direction adjustment mechanism, which includes a tray and a lifting mechanism. The tray is used to place glass sheets. The lifting mechanism is fixed on the bracket and connected to the tray to control the lifting movement of the tray.

[0017] Furthermore, the direction adjustment mechanism further includes a second rotating tooth and a second servo motor, the second rotating tooth is fixedly connected to the tray, and the second servo motor drives the second rotating tooth to rotate, thereby driving the tray to rotate.

[0018] The efficient glass transfer mechanism provided by the present invention comprises a support, a feeding mechanism, a driving mechanism and a push rod.

The driving mechanism pushes the feeding mechanism to rotate on the support through the push rod, thereby completing the feeding operation of the glass sheets. Among them, multiple arm assemblies in the feeding mechanism are used to place glass sheets, and the arm assemblies are rotatably arranged on the support through a rotating shaft. When feeding, the driving mechanism controls the arm assemblies to rotate to an inclined setting, and then the first group of glass sheets is placed on the arm assemblies, and then the arm assemblies are controlled to rotate to a position parallel to the support, so that the glass sheets can be placed on the rollers of the support, and the feeding operation of the glass sheets is completed. Subsequently, the rollers on the support transport the first group of glass sheets by rolling, and the driving mechanism controls the arm assemblies to rotate back to the original inclined position, and the feeding operation of the next group of glass sheets is carried out, and this cycle is repeated. The entire feeding process can be completed by the reciprocating rotation of the arm assemblies, and the degree of automation is high. In addition, multiple arm assemblies are fixedly arranged on the same fixed shaft, so as to ensure that when the feeding mechanism rotates, all arm assemblies keep rotating synchronously. Through this structural design, only one or a small number of driving mechanisms and push rods are required to push the flip arm assembly to rotate. There is no need to set the same number of driving mechanisms and push rods as the flip arm assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the efficient glass transfer mechanism includes a bracket 1 and a feeding mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a plurality of arm assemblies 201, a rotating shaft 202 and a fixed shaft 203, the arm assemblies 201 are all fixedly arranged on the fixed shaft 203, so that each arm assemblies 201 maintain synchronous rotational movement, and the arm assemblies 201 are rotatably arranged on the bracket 1 through the rotating shaft 202, and the arm assemblies 201 are used to place glass sheets. Specifically, a plurality of arm assemblies 201 are all fixedly arranged on the same fixed shaft 203, so as to ensure that when the feeding mechanism 2 rotates, all arm assemblies 201 maintain synchronous rotation. Through this structural design, only one or a small number of driving mechanisms 3 and push rods 4 can be set to realize the rotational movement of pushing the arm assemblies 201, and there is no need to set the same number of driving mechanisms 3 and push rods 4 as the arm assemblies 201, thereby saving equipment costs and improving the maintenance and repair efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, the synchronous rotation of the flap assembly 201 can ensure that the glass sheet is not scratched or damaged during the rotation process, thereby ensuring that the glass sheet is loaded with high accuracy and good stability.

[0040] In addition, the efficient glass transfer mechanism also includes a driving mechanism 3 and a push rod 4. One end of the push rod 4 is rotatably connected to the driving mechanism 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the flip arm assembly 201. The driving mechanism 3 is used to control the rotational movement of the flip arm assembly 201 through the push rod 4. Specifically, when loading, the driving mechanism 3 is used to control the flip arm assembly 201 to rotate to an inclined setting, and then the first group of glass sheets is placed on the flip arm assembly 201, and then the flip arm assembly 201 is controlled to rotate to a position parallel to the top 1 of the bracket, so that the glass sheets can be placed on the rollers on the top of the bracket 1, and the loading operation of the glass sheets is completed. Subsequently, the rollers on the bracket 1 transport the first group of glass sheets by rolling, and the driving mechanism 3 controls the flip arm assembly 201 to rotate back to the original inclined position, and the loading operation of the next group of glass sheets is carried out. In this cycle, the entire loading process of multiple groups of glass sheets can be completed by the reciprocating rotation of the flip arm assembly 201, with a high degree of automation and high loading efficiency. At the same time, by arranging a rotatable feeding mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism 3 for driving the feeding mechanism 2 to rotate on the bracket 1, the feeding operation of the glass sheet can be completed. This structural design is simple and reasonable, and the operation is easy.

[0041] See also Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, the arm assembly 201 is a four-bar linkage, the arm assembly 201 includes a first link 2011 and a second link 2012, the first link 2011 and the push rod 4 are rotatably connected, the second link 2012 is used to place the glass sheet, and the arm assembly 201 is used to convert the reciprocating motion of the push rod 4 into the rotational motion of the arm assembly 201 through the setting mode of its four-bar linkage. In the scheme of this embodiment, since the position of the driving mechanism 3 cannot be moved, the push rod 4 cannot be extended or shortened, and the connection point between the push rod 4 and the arm assembly 201 cannot be moved, in this case, if the arm assembly 201 is set as a simple single-rod structure, it is difficult to realize the rotational motion of the arm assembly 201 or only the rotational motion of the arm assembly 201 at a very small angle can be realized, and in either case, the rotational loading operation of the arm assembly 201 cannot be realized. In this embodiment, the arm assembly 201 is configured as a four-bar linkage consisting of a first link 2011, a second link 2012 and other rods, which can effectively convert the reciprocating motion of the push rod 4 into a small rotational motion of the first link 2011, and the first link 2011 is then converted into a large rotational motion of the second link 2012 through two intermediate links. Therefore, the structural design of the four-bar linkage can realize the conversion of the reciprocating motion of the push rod 4 into the rotational motion of the glass sheet on the second link 2012, ensuring that the second link 2012 can rotate within a sufficiently large angle range, that is, ensuring that the second link 2012 can rotate to the inclined loading station and the unloading station parallel to the bracket 1, so as to complete the loading operation of the glass sheet. In addition, the structural design of the four-bar linkage can also play a good role in buffering and shock absorption. During the rotation of the flip arm assembly 201, it can effectively alleviate the equipment shaking caused by the rigid connection between the driving mechanism 3 and the push rod 4, and the push rod 4 and the first connecting rod 2011, thereby ensuring high accuracy and smooth loading of the glass sheets.

[0042] See also Figure 4 As shown, in another optional embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 also includes a glass sheet anti-damage structure 204, which is arranged on the top of the flip arm assembly 201 and is used to contact the glass sheet, thereby preventing the glass sheet from being scratched or damaged. In the optional embodiment, by arranging the glass sheet anti-damage structure 204 on the top of the flip arm assembly 201, it can prevent the glass sheet from being scratched or damaged, and avoid placing the glass sheet directly on the flip arm assembly 201 made of rigid material, thereby damaging the glass sheet during the rotation of the flip arm assembly 201, and even causing safety hazards. More specifically, the glass sheet anti-damage structure 204 can be a flexible material with a certain degree of softness, such as a buffer pad, a sponge pad, and a damping pad, which can play a good shock-absorbing and buffering role on the glass sheet.

[0043] In addition, the feeding mechanism 2 also includes a limiting structure 205, which is arranged at the end position of the flip arm assembly 201, and plays a supporting and limiting role for the glass pieces placed on the flip arm assembly 201, preventing the glass pieces from slipping and breaking during the rotation of the flip arm assembly 201.

[0044] See also Figure 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 also includes a suction cup fixture 209, which is movably fixed on the arm assembly 201, and is used to place the glass sheet, thereby playing the role of fixing the glass sheet. In the preferred embodiment, the suction cup fixture 209 is provided with a suction cup structure, which can play a good adsorption performance. When the glass sheet is placed on the suction cup fixture 209, it can play a good fixing effect on the glass sheet, so that the glass sheet is fixed during the rotation of the arm assembly 201 without slipping and breaking, and at the same time plays a good buffering and shock absorbing effect, preventing the glass sheet from being directly placed on the arm assembly 201 made of rigid material to scratch and damage the glass. In addition, after the suction cup fixture 209 is loosened, it can be slidably set on the arm assembly 201, and the specific position of each suction cup fixture 209 can be adjusted according to the glass sheets of different sizes to adapt to the size of the glass sheet, and then the suction cup fixture 209 is tightened and fixed.

[0045] See also Figure 5 As shown, in a further embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes a buffer damping mechanism, which includes a hydraulic cylinder 206, a piston rod 207 and a rotating arm 208. The piston rod 207 is telescopically arranged on the hydraulic cylinder 206. One end of the rotating arm 208 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 203, and the other end is rotatably connected to the piston rod 207. The hydraulic cylinder 206 is used to provide resistance to the rotation of the fixed shaft 203. In this further embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 206 will provide a reverse damping stress to the telescopic movement of the piston rod 207, and the reverse stress will have the effect of blocking the rotation of the rotating arm 208, that is, the effect of blocking the rotation on the fixed shaft 203, thereby playing a buffering and shock-absorbing role for the rotation of the flip arm assembly 201.

[0046] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in an optional embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes a swing arm structure 301 and a first rotating tooth 302, one end of the swing arm structure 301 is fixedly connected to the first rotating tooth 302, and the other end is rotatably connected to the push rod 4, and the first rotating tooth 302 is used to drive the swing arm structure 301 to rotate, thereby driving the push rod 4 to reciprocate in an inclined direction. In the optional embodiment, since one end of the swing arm structure 301 is fixedly connected to the first rotating tooth 302, and the other end is rotatably connected to the push rod 4, the swing arm structure 301 can be driven to rotate by the first rotating tooth 302. At the same time, since the swing arm structure 301 and the push rod 4 are combined to form a crankshaft mechanism, the rotational motion of the swing arm mechanism 301 can be converted into the reciprocating motion of the push rod 4 in an inclined direction, and then converted into the reciprocating rotational motion of the flip arm assembly 201.

[0047] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 3 further includes a first servo motor 303 , which drives the first rotating tooth to rotate, thereby driving the swing arm structure 301 to rotate.

[0048] See also Figure 8 As shown, in another optional embodiment, the efficient glass transfer mechanism also includes a plurality of loading stations 5, and the loading stations 5 include a plurality of swing arm structures 201. The plurality of loading stations 5 are connected by synchronous rotation through a fixed shaft 203, so as to complete the loading operation of multiple glass sheets at the same time. Specifically, each loading station 5 is fixedly arranged on the same fixed shaft 203, so as to ensure that when the loading mechanism 2 rotates, all loading stations 5 keep synchronous rotation, and each loading station 5 can be used to place a group of glass sheets. Therefore, by setting a plurality of loading stations 5, the loading operation of multiple groups of glass sheets can be completed simultaneously during each rotation of the flip arm assembly 201, thereby improving the loading efficiency of the glass sheets. More specifically, the loading station 5 of the present invention can be set to two, that is, a double loading station 5, and the loading operation of two groups of glass sheets can be completed simultaneously during each rotation.

[0049] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 includes a fixed bracket 6 and a sliding bracket 7, the arm assembly 201 is rotatably arranged on the sliding bracket 7 through a rotating shaft 202, and the sliding bracket 7 is slidably arranged on the fixed bracket 6, and the sliding bracket 7 is used to increase the rotation angle of the arm assembly 201 by moving. Specifically, since the position of the driving mechanism 3 cannot be moved, the push rod 4 cannot be extended or shortened, and the connection point between the push rod 4 and the arm assembly 201 cannot be moved, although the arm assembly 201 is set as a four-bar linkage mechanism to achieve the rotation movement of the arm assembly 201 within a certain range, in some working scenes and working conditions, in order to adapt to the size and shape of the glass sheet product, the arm assembly 201 needs to rotate at a larger angle. In the scheme of this embodiment, the bracket 1 is divided into two parts, the fixed bracket 6 and the sliding bracket 7, and the movement of the rotating shaft 202 is achieved through the slidability of the sliding bracket 7, that is, the mobility of the bottom of the arm assembly 201 is achieved. Since the connection point between the push rod 4 and the arm assembly 201 cannot be moved, the rotation angle of the arm assembly 201 can be increased by moving the sliding bracket 7 backward, so that it can be rotated to an obtuse angle, thereby achieving adjustment of the arm assembly 201 to rotate within a larger angle range.

[0050] Furthermore, the sliding bracket 7 is provided with a slider 701, and the fixed bracket 6 is provided with a slide rail 601, and the slider 701 and the slide rail 601 are slidably connected, so that the sliding bracket 7 can be slidably arranged on the fixed bracket 6. The sliding bracket 7 is also provided with a fixing portion 702, and the fixing portion 702 is connected to the rotating shaft 202, so that the flip arm assembly 201 can be rotatably arranged on the sliding bracket 7.

[0051] See also Fig.12 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the efficient glass transfer mechanism also includes a direction adjustment mechanism, which includes a tray 8 and a lifting mechanism 9. The tray 8 is used to place the glass sheet. The lifting mechanism 9 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1. The lifting mechanism 9 is connected to the tray 8 to control the lifting movement of the tray 8. In the scheme of this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 9 is arranged at the bottom of the tray 8, which is used to drive the tray 8 to move up and down, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the glass sheet on the tray 8. Because when the roller mechanism on the bracket 1 rotates, the glass sheet and the roller are in direct contact, and the roller cannot be used to turn the glass sheet. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 9 drives the tray 8 to rise to the height where the glass sheet is out of contact with the roller, and then adjusts the direction. After the direction adjustment is completed, the lifting mechanism drives the tray 8 to descend to the original position, and the roller mechanism continues to transport the glass sheet after the reversal.

[0052] See also Fig.13As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, the direction adjustment mechanism further includes a second rotating tooth 10 and a second servo motor 11, the second rotating tooth 10 is fixedly connected to the tray 8, and the second servo motor 11 drives the second rotating tooth 10 to rotate, thereby driving the tray 8 to rotate. Specifically, after the tray 8 is driven to rise to a height where the glass sheet is out of contact with the roller by the lifting mechanism 9, the second servo motor 11 drives the second rotating tooth 10 to rotate, thereby driving the tray 8 fixedly connected to the second rotating tooth 10 to rotate, thereby completing the direction adjustment of the glass sheet.

[0053] In summary, the efficient glass transfer mechanism provided by the present invention can complete the feeding operation of glass sheets by arranging a rotatable feeding mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism 3 for driving the feeding mechanism 2 to rotate on the bracket. The structural design is simple and reasonable, and the operation is simple. At the same time, after the feeding mechanism 2 completes the feeding operation of a group of glass sheets, it rotates back to the original inclined position to load the next group of glass sheets, that is, the feeding of multiple groups of glass sheets can be completed through reciprocating rotation. The degree of automation and the feeding efficiency are high. In addition, the synchronous rotation of the arm assembly 201 can ensure that the glass sheets are not scratched or damaged during the rotation process, and ensure that the feeding accuracy and stability of the glass sheets are high.

[0054] Of course, the above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
