Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a production line for insulating glass, and particularly to a parallel opening and closing mechanism for a vertical glass cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] The requirements for glass cleaning in the insulating glass production line are very strict. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for product quality have also increased accordingly.

[0003] At the same time, more requirements are also put forward for the specifications and types of insulating glass. It is required that the thickness specification size range of the produced glass is very wide. At this time, there must be a high-efficiency cleaning machine to clean the glass efficiently and with high quality in the cleaning link of the insulating glass production line, and it can meet the glass thickness size compatibility to a greater extent.

[0004] Disadvantages of existing equipment and problems to be solved:

[0005] At present, the compatible thickness of the glass by the cleaning machines in the insulating glass production lines of each manufacturer is very small. For the very few products that can meet the requirements, there are also many problems and the performance is very unstable.

[0006] The problems mainly include: the adjustment mechanism for the compatible glass thickness is not reasonably designed, resulting in a small compatible range and inability to produce glass with a large thickness; at the same time, due to the problems of the adjustment mechanism, the speed mismatch of each transmission wheel causes glass friction marks, which will produce defective insulating glass products or even scrap; the contact distances between the brush bristles and the air knife air outlets and the glass are inconsistent, and the best cleaning effect and drying effect cannot be achieved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a parallel opening and closing mechanism for a vertical glass cleaning machine.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] The parallel opening and closing mechanism of the vertical glass cleaning machine of the present invention includes a bottom parallel movement mechanism area 101, an upper parallel movement mechanism area 102, a bottom mechanism fixing area 103, an upper mechanism fixing area 104, a moving air knife assembly 110, and a fixed air knife assembly 111 provided in the machine base and the housing 201. There are four partitions, and each partition includes a lower partition 105 and an upper partition 106;

[0010] The parallel opening and closing adjustment mechanisms of the four partitions have the same structure. The single-group adjustment mechanism of one partition includes:

[0012] As can be seen from the technical solutions provided by the present invention above, the parallel opening and closing mechanism of the vertical glass cleaning machine provided by the embodiments of the present invention avoids the occurrence of the above problems from the adjustment mechanism. It adopts the technology of parallel opening and closing, uses cylinders as power both up and down, and uses a synchronous shaft to achieve synchronous movement of the up and down adjustment mechanisms, greatly reducing the movement error; the moving parts adopt linear slide rails, increasing the strength and stability; the adjustment mechanism is divided into gradients in detail, making the parallel opening and closing adjustment softer and more stable, and improving the machine life; during the adjustment process, the relative distance between the brush bristles and the air knife air outlet and the glass surface remains constant, with the best effect; the entire cleaning section is independently opened and closed in partitions, improving the cleaning efficiency and output.

[0040] The brush power group 213 includes a frame 2501, a motor 2502, a belt pulley 2503, and a belt 2504.

[0041] The parallel opening and closing mechanism of the vertical glass cleaning machine of the present invention avoids the occurrence of the above problems from the adjustment mechanism. It adopts the technology of parallel opening and closing, uses cylinders as power both up and down, and uses a synchronous shaft to achieve the synchronous movement of the up and down adjustment mechanisms, greatly reducing the movement error; the moving parts adopt linear slide rails, increasing the strength and stability; the adjustment mechanism is divided into gradients in detail, making the parallel opening and closing adjustment more gentle and stable, and improving the machine life; during the adjustment process, the relative distance between the brush bristles and the air knife outlet and the glass surface remains constant, with the best effect; the entire cleaning section is independently opened and closed in zones, improving the cleaning efficiency and output. Specific embodiments:

[0043] The components of the overall machine adjustment mechanism, such as Figure 1a , Figure 1b , mainly include the bottom parallel movement mechanism area 101, the upper parallel movement mechanism area 102, the bottom mechanism fixed area 103, the upper mechanism fixed area 104; the lower zones 105 (a total of four), the upper zones 106 (a total of four).

[0044] The principles of the parallel opening and closing adjustment mechanisms of the four zones are the same. Now, one of the groups is taken out for separate introduction, such as Figure 4a , Figure 4b , Figure 4c , and the same applies to the others, so no separate detailed introduction will be made here.

[0045] The composition of a single-group adjustment mechanism, such as Figure 1a , Figure 1b , Figure 2a , Figure 2b , Figure 2c , Figure 2d , Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3c , Figure 4a , Figure 4b , Figure 4c , the machine base and housing 201, the lower moving base plate 202, the bottom linear guide rail group 203, the bottom adjustment cylinder group 204, the moving friction wheel group 205, the fixed friction wheel group 206, the moving brush group 207, the fixed brush group 208, the synchronous shaft 108, the upper linear guide rail group 210, the upper moving base plate 211, the upper adjustment cylinder group 212, the brush power group 213, the transmission power group 214, the bottom support wheel group 215, the synchronous shaft 108 (a total of four), the moving air knife assembly 110, the fixed air knife assembly 111.

[0048] The power transmission group 214 includes: such as Figure 7a , Figure 7b , reduction motor 2401, synchronous belt 2402, tension pulley 2403, fixed base plate 2404, synchronous gear 2405, cross spline sliding coupling 2406.

[0049] The brush power group 213 includes: Figure 8 , frame 2501, motor 2502, belt pulley 2503, belt 2504.

[0050] Introduction to the principle of single-group motion:

[0051] Initial state, such as Figure 9a , Figure 9b , Figure 9c , the spring cylinder 2201, the adjustment cylinder one 2202, and the adjustment cylinder two 2203 have their cylinder rods all extended, so that the lower moving base plate 202, the upper moving base plate 211, and their attached component groups are all kept at the closest distance from the fixed-area component group. At this time, the glass has not entered the cleaning machine.

[0052] Before the glass enters the cleaning machine, a thickness sensor detects the thickness data of the glass. The cleaning machine control system will obtain the thickness data before the glass enters, so as to perform corresponding motion control.

[0053] Working state one, such as Figure 10a , Figure 10b , Figure 10c , the glass thickness value is gradient one, and its value is within the stroke range of the spring cylinder 2201. At this time, the adjustment cylinder one 2202 and the adjustment cylinder two 2203 are not adjusted. The glass enters the cleaning machine and pushes open the moving friction wheel group 205. The spring cylinder 2201 will be forcibly compressed by the glass, playing a role of pressing force on the moving friction wheel group 205. Since the moving friction wheel group 205 is forcibly pushed open by the glass, the moving friction wheel group 205 drives the lower moving base plate 202 and its attached component groups to move together. This movement will drive the synchronous shaft 108 to rotate, thereby driving the rocker arm 2302 above it to move, transferring the lower movement to the upper parallel movement mechanism area 102, and pulling the upper moving base plate 211 and its attached component groups to move together, realizing simultaneous up and down movement, and it is a parallel movement without error. The movement of the upper parallel movement mechanism 102 causes the extension adjustment of the cross spline sliding coupling 2406 to perform misaligned power transmission.

[0054] In Working State 2, the glass thickness value is Gradient 2. The glass thickness exceeds the movement range of the spring cylinder 2201. Before the glass enters the cleaning machine, the control system adjusts the working state of the first adjusting cylinder 2202 to retract its cylinder rod. This means that the entire movement mechanism is adjusted to create a gap equal to the stroke of the first adjusting cylinder 2202, which is the reserved gap. Next, the glass enters the cleaning machine, and the movement principle and details are the same as in Working State 1. After the glass passes through, the control system performs a reset operation on the first adjusting cylinder 2202, and this set of mechanisms enters the initial state, waiting for the next working instruction.

[0055] In Working State 3, the glass thickness value is Gradient 3. The glass thickness exceeds the sum of the movement ranges of the spring cylinder 2201 and the first adjusting cylinder 2202. Before the glass enters the cleaning machine, the control system adjusts the working states of the first adjusting cylinder 2202 and the second adjusting cylinder 2203 to retract their cylinder rods simultaneously. This means that the entire movement mechanism is adjusted to create a gap equal to the sum of the strokes of the first adjusting cylinder 2202 and the second adjusting cylinder 2203, which is the reserved gap. Next, the glass enters the cleaning machine, and the movement principle and details are the same as in Working State 1. After the glass passes through, the control system simultaneously performs reset operations on the first adjusting cylinder 2202 and the second adjusting cylinder 2203, and this set of mechanisms enters the initial state, waiting for the next working instruction.

[0056] Similarly, the working principles of the other three independently adjustable partitions are the same, and the specific details will not be described in detail.

[0057] As Figure 11a 、 Figure 11b , during the movement process, the moving friction wheel set 205 closely adheres to the glass surface and drives the glass forward; at the same time, the glass is cleaned by the rotating brush. With the adjustment of the opening and closing mechanism, regardless of the stroke, the distance between the friction wheel and the brush and the glass surface always remains unchanged.

[0058] Regarding the design principle that the relative distance between the brush and the glass surface is a fixed value, it also holds true for the independently moving air knife section in the fourth paragraph. As Figure 12a 、 Figure 12b , the movement of the air knife always maintains a fixed distance H0 from the glass, which greatly improves the consistency of the cleaning effect and the drying effect of the air knife on the glass is in the best state.

[0059] The movement gradient subdivision of the parallel opening and closing adjustment mechanism makes the parallel opening and closing adjustment softer and more stable, greatly improving the service life of the components and the overall machine.

[0060] The advantage of the whole machine being partitioned and independently adjusted for parallel opening and closing is that it can adapt to the frequency of different thickness glasses quickly entering the cleaning machine, greatly improving the cleaning speed and increasing the output.

[0061] As described above, it is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
