Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of conveying equipment, and in particular to a glass turning device. Background Art

[0002] In the production of glass plates, different surfaces of the glass plates need to be painted and cleaned. Both the painting process and the cleaning process need to act on the glass surface from above for the best effect, so the glass plate needs to be flipped and the different surfaces of the glass plate need to be switched upwards to facilitate the corresponding processing of different surfaces of the glass plate. Traditionally, flipping is done manually, which is inefficient. There are some plate flipping devices on the market to achieve plate flipping. The existing plate flipping devices have weak structural strength and are only suitable for flipping lightweight plates. The weight of the glass plate is large, and the existing plate flipping devices will cause damage to the surface of the glass plate. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a glass turning device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] The technical solutions adopted to solve the above technical problems are:

[0005] The present invention provides a glass flipping device, which includes a flipping mechanism, wherein the flipping mechanism includes a flipping shaft extending forward and backward, a flipping driving component for driving the flipping shaft to rotate around its own axis, and a plurality of flipping modules arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the flipping shaft, wherein the flipping modules include a plurality of flipping beam groups and a plurality of reinforcing plates, wherein the plurality of flipping beam groups are radially arranged in an annular pattern with the axis of the flipping shaft as the center, wherein the flipping beam groups include two fixed beams arranged parallel to each other along the circumference of the flipping shaft, wherein the two ends of the fixed beams are respectively connected ends and free ends, wherein the connecting ends are connected to the flipping shaft, and a clamping gap is formed between the two fixed beams, wherein the clamping gaps on the plurality of flipping modules correspond to each other in the axial direction of the flipping shaft to form a plurality of clamping grooves, wherein the plurality of reinforcing plates are respectively arranged between two adjacent flipping beam groups in each flipping module, and wherein the plurality of reinforcing plates are respectively connected to two adjacent fixed beams between two adjacent flipping beam groups in each flipping module.

[0006] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when in use, the glass is input into the corresponding clamping groove, and then the flip drive assembly drives the flip shaft to rotate, and then the next glass enters the next clamping groove, thereby continuously driving the glass to flip. In this scheme, the two adjacent fixed beams between the two adjacent flip beam groups in each flip module are reinforced by reinforcing plates, which can improve the stability of the fixed beams in clamping and supporting the glass, and can meet the flipping of heavier glass.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, contact soft rubber is provided on the opposite sides of the two fixed beams of each group of flip beam groups.

[0008] The fixed beam in this solution achieves flexible contact with the glass surface through the contact soft glue, which can avoid rigid contact and damage to the glass surface. It also has a clamping effect. The contact soft glue of different sizes can be replaced according to the glass of different thicknesses. The contact soft glue in this solution can be removably installed on the fixed beam.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the clamping gap is divided into an outer end facing the outer periphery and an inner end facing the inner periphery, and a buffer block is arranged at the inner end.

[0010] Since the glass is pushed into the clamping gap by an external conveying force, in order to avoid damage caused by a strong collision between the end of the glass and the inner end of the clamping gap, a buffer block is provided in the present solution to buffer against the end of the glass.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the flip module also includes a connecting flange fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the flip shaft, and the reinforcing plate and the connecting end on each flip module are connected to the connecting flange.

[0012] The reinforcing plate and the fixing beam in this solution are both connected to the connecting flange, which can improve the structural strength of the flip module and facilitate assembly. The flip module can be assembled first and then fixedly sleeved on the flip shaft.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate has a triangular structure, and is provided with two adjacent connecting sides, which are respectively connected to two adjacent fixed beams between two adjacent flip beam groups in each flip module, and the angle between the two connecting sides is fixed to the connecting flange.

[0014] The triangular structure of the reinforcement plate has better structural strength, better reinforcement for the fixed beam, and is also easier to produce.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the glass flipping device also includes a frame, the flip shaft is rotatably mounted on the frame, the flip shaft sleeve is provided with a station indexing sensor disk, and an infrared switch corresponding to the station indexing sensor disk is provided on the frame, and the infrared switch is electrically connected to the flip driving assembly.

[0016] The number of stations of the station indexing induction disk corresponds to a plurality of clamping grooves one by one. When the infrared switch detects the station indexing of the station indexing induction disk, the corresponding clamping groove rotates the feeding position, and the glass enters the clamping groove, thereby improving the degree of mechanical automation.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the glass flipping device also includes a feeding conveyor line and a discharging conveyor line, and the flipping mechanism is arranged between the discharging end of the feeding conveyor line and the feeding end of the discharging conveyor line.

[0018] This solution sets up a feeding conveyor line and a discharging conveyor line to respectively realize the feeding and discharging of glass. The glass on the feeding conveyor line is transported to the flipping mechanism, and after flipping, it enters the discharging conveyor line for transportation to the subsequent process.

[0019] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the feed conveyor line is provided with a positioning assembly, which includes two positioning push blocks arranged at intervals on both sides of the conveying direction of the feed conveyor line, and a positioning drive module for driving the two positioning push blocks to move closer to or away from each other.

[0020] Due to the process before flipping, the conveying and placement of the glass will be shifted to a certain extent, making it difficult to accurately enter the corresponding clamping groove. This solution sets up a positioning component to position and shape the glass before entering the clamping groove. When the glass on the feed conveyor line is conveyed between the two positioning push blocks, the positioning drive module drives the two positioning push blocks to move closer to each other, adjusts the posture of the glass, and then conveys it to the clamping groove after the adjustment.

[0021] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the positioning push block is provided with a plurality of rollers, and the plurality of rollers are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction.

[0022] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the feed conveyor line includes multiple feed conveyor belts, which are arranged at intervals in front and back, and the ends of the feed conveyor belts are arranged between two adjacent flip modules. The discharging conveyor line includes multiple discharging conveyor belts, which are arranged at intervals in front and back, and the starting ends of the discharging conveyor belts are arranged between two adjacent flip modules.

[0023] The feeding conveyor line in this solution supports and conveys the glass through multiple feeding conveyor belts, and the end of the feeding conveyor belt is arranged between two adjacent flipping modules, so that the glass is still on the feeding conveyor belt when entering the clamping groove, so that the glass can be pushed into the clamping groove in a replaced manner; and after the glass is flipped, it is flipped to the discharging conveyor belt to avoid the glass falling, and the transportation is more stable.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The glass turning device of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0034] The glass flipping device of the present embodiment includes a frame 300, a flipping mechanism, a feeding conveyor line 400 and a discharging conveyor line 500, wherein the flipping mechanism includes a flipping shaft 100 extending forward and backward, a flipping drive assembly for driving the flipping shaft 100 to rotate around its own axis, and a plurality of flipping modules 200 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the flipping shaft 100. The front and rear ends of the flipping shaft 100 in the present embodiment are mounted on the frame 300 through supporting bearings, the flipping drive assembly is a flipping servo motor fixed on the frame 300, and the flipping servo motor is connected to the flipping shaft 100 through a pulley transmission structure, and in other embodiments, it can be connected through a gear transmission structure.

[0035] The flip module 200 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of flip beam groups 210 and a plurality of reinforcing plates 220. The plurality of flip beam groups 210 are radially arranged in annular intervals with the axis of the flip shaft 100 as the center. The flip beam group 210 includes two fixed beams 211 arranged parallel to each other along the circumference of the flip shaft 100. The two ends of the fixed beam 211 are respectively a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is connected to the flip shaft 100. A clamping gap 212 is formed between the two fixed beams 211. The clamping gaps 212 on the plurality of flip modules 200 correspond to each other in the axial direction of the flip shaft 100 to form a plurality of clamping grooves 213. The plurality of reinforcing plates 220 They are respectively arranged between two adjacent flip beam groups 210 in each flip module 200, and a plurality of the reinforcing plates 220 are respectively connected to two adjacent fixed beams 211 between two adjacent flip beam groups 210 in each flip module 200. Specifically, the flip module 200 also includes a connecting flange 230 fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the flip shaft 100, and the reinforcing plates 220 and the connecting ends on each flip module 200 are connected to the connecting flange 230, and the reinforcing plates 220 and the fixed beams 211 are connected to the connecting flange 230, so that the structural strength of the flip module 200 can be improved, and secondly, it is also easy to assemble. After the flip module 200 is assembled, it can be fixedly sleeved on the flip shaft 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, the two adjacent fixed beams 211 between two adjacent flip beam groups 210 in each flip module 200 are reinforced by a reinforcing plate 220, which can improve the stability of the fixed beams 211 in clamping and supporting the glass, and can meet the flipping requirements of heavier glass.

[0037] The flip mechanism is arranged between the discharge end of the feed conveyor line 400 and the feed end of the discharge conveyor line 500. Specifically, the feed end of the discharge conveyor line 500 and the discharge end of the feed conveyor line 400 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the flip shaft 100 in the circumferential direction.

[0038] The feed conveyor line 400 in this embodiment includes a plurality of feed conveyor belts 410, which are arranged at intervals in front and back, and the ends of the feed conveyor belts 410 are arranged between two adjacent flip modules 200. The discharge conveyor line 500 includes a plurality of discharge conveyor belts 510, which are arranged at intervals in front and back, and the starting ends of the discharge conveyor belts 510 are arranged between two adjacent flip modules 200. The discharge conveyor belts 510 and the feed conveyor belts 410 are all extended to the left and right, and the feeding conveyor line 400 supports and conveys the glass through multiple feeding conveyor belts 410, and the end of the feeding conveyor belt 410 is set between two adjacent flip modules 200, so that the glass is still on the feeding conveyor belt 410 when entering the clamping groove 213, so that the glass is pushed into the clamping groove 213 in a replaced manner; and, after the glass is flipped, it is flipped to the discharging conveyor belt 510 to avoid the glass from falling, and the transportation is more stable.

[0039] Furthermore, the flip shaft 100 is sleeved with a station indexing sensor disk 110, and an infrared switch 310 corresponding to the station indexing sensor disk 110 is arranged on the frame 300, and the infrared switch 310 is electrically connected to the flip driving assembly. The number of stations of the station indexing sensor disk 110 corresponds to a plurality of clamping grooves 213 one by one. When the infrared switch 310 detects the station indexing of the station indexing sensor disk 110, the corresponding clamping groove 213 rotates to the feeding position, and the glass enters the clamping groove 213, thereby improving the degree of mechanical automation.

[0040] Furthermore, an induction switch is provided at the discharge end of the feed conveyor line 400 , and the induction switch is mainly used to detect whether the glass is in place in the clamping groove 213 .

[0041] The working process of this glass flip device:

[0042] First, the glass enters the feeding conveyor line 400 from the previous process, and enters the turning station on the feeding conveyor line 400;

[0043] Secondly, when the glass reaches the end of the feeding conveyor line 400, the induction switch senses that the glass is in place, and the feeding conveyor line 400 stops. At this time, the glass is input into the corresponding clamping channel 213;

[0044] Next, the flip drive assembly drives the flip shaft 100 to rotate, and after the infrared switch 310 detects that the station indexing sensor disk 110 reaches the discharge station, the flip shaft 100 stops rotating, and the glass is flipped to the discharge conveyor line 500;

[0045] Finally, the feeding conveyor line 400 conveys the glass piece by piece to the flipping station, the flip shaft 100 rotates, and the glass is flipped to the discharging conveyor line 500, and the discharging conveyor line 500 sends the glass to the next process, and the action is cyclic.

[0046] In order to avoid damaging the surface of the glass, contact soft glue is provided on the opposite sides of the two fixed beams 211 of each group of flip beam groups 210. The fixed beams 211 achieve flexible contact with the glass surface through the contact soft glue, which can avoid rigid contact and damage to the glass surface. At the same time, it also has a clamping effect, and contact soft glue of different sizes can be replaced according to glass of different thicknesses. The contact soft glue in this solution can be removably installed on the fixed beams 211.

[0047] Furthermore, since the glass is pushed into the clamping gap 212 by an external conveying force, in order to prevent the end of the glass from being strongly colliding with the inner end of the clamping gap 212 and being damaged, the clamping gap 212 is divided into an outer end facing the outer periphery and an inner end facing the inner periphery, and a buffer block 214 is provided at the inner end. In this embodiment, the buffer block 214 is provided to buffer the end of the glass.

[0048] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate 220 is in a triangular structure, and is provided with two adjacent connecting sides, which are respectively connected to two adjacent fixing beams 211 between two adjacent flip beam groups 210 in each flip module 200, and the angle between the two connecting sides is fixed to the connecting flange 230. The reinforcing plate 220 in a triangular structure has better structural strength, better reinforcement for the fixing beams 211, and is also convenient for production and manufacturing. At the same time, the reinforcing plate 220 is provided with a plurality of hollow openings 221, which has the effect of reducing weight and saving materials.

[0049] Since the glass is conveyed and placed in a certain position during the process before flipping, it is difficult to accurately enter the corresponding clamping groove 213. Therefore, the feed conveyor line 400 is provided with a positioning component, which includes two positioning push blocks 600 arranged at intervals on both sides of the conveying direction of the feed conveyor line 400, and a positioning drive module for driving the two positioning push blocks 600 to move closer to or away from each other. When the glass on the feed conveyor line 400 is conveyed between the two positioning push blocks 600, the positioning drive module drives the two positioning push blocks 600 to move closer to each other, adjusts the posture of the glass, and then conveys it to the clamping groove 213 after the adjustment.

[0050] Specifically: the positioning push block 600 in this embodiment slides forward and backward with the frame 300 through a guide slide bar, and the positioning drive module includes two linear drive cylinders, which respectively drive the two positioning push blocks 600 to move forward and backward, thereby realizing the two positioning push blocks 600 approaching or moving away from each other.

[0051] In addition, the positioning push block 600 is provided with a plurality of rollers 610, and the plurality of rollers 610 are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions. The positioning push block 600 in this solution rolls against the side of the glass through the plurality of rollers 610, which can reduce friction and does not affect the normal transportation of the glass.

[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are specifically described above, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
