Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass distribution, in particular to a glass cold end stacking and distribution system. Background Art

[0002] Glass is an amorphous, inorganic, non-metallic material, typically made from a variety of inorganic minerals, with small amounts of auxiliary raw materials added. During the glass production process, sheets are stacked and palletized, then removed as needed for subsequent production. Existing glass stacking methods typically involve stacking sheets diagonally or vertically. If particles such as dust are present between two sheets of glass, the vibration can scratch the glass surface. Furthermore, stacked glass is often transported individually, which is inefficient.

[0003] For example, the patent subject is "An adaptive vertical stacker for flat glass", application number "CN202110654654.6". In this patent, the glass is placed obliquely on the glass bracket. If multiple glasses are placed on the bracket at the same time, the above-mentioned problems will occur. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (1) Technical problems solved

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a glass cold end stacking and distribution system, which solves the problem of glass surface scratches when the existing glass is stacked.

[0006] (2) Technical solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A cold-end glass stacking and distribution system comprises a rectangular housing with a feed roller at one end and a discharge roller at the other end. Several diverting transmission mechanisms are arranged in series between the feed and discharge rollers, and each diverting transmission mechanism is flanked by storage rollers. Each of the feed, discharge, and storage rollers is internally equipped with a motor, enabling independent control of the rotation of each roller. The storage rollers are used to transfer the glass from the feed rollers to the storage rollers for temporary storage after it enters the housing for palletizing, facilitating easy retrieval.

[0008] A movable frame is disposed above the feed roller and within the housing. The movable frame includes a support frame, a first electric cylinder fixedly connected to the middle portion of the upper end of the support frame, a first telescopic rod extending from the lower end of the first electric cylinder, a first bottom plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the first telescopic rod, a first motor fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the first bottom plate, an output terminal extending from the lower end of the first motor, and a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output terminal. The movable frame is used to transfer and palletize glass.

[0009] The protective pads are stacked inside the housing and include a partition with suction cups on both the upper and lower ends. Air pipes are located within the partitions, connecting to all of the suction cups. A relief valve and an air valve are located on the sidewalls of the partitions, both connected to the air pipes. The protective pads are placed between each pair of glass panes to prevent contact between the panes. Dust and other particles can enter and scratch the glass surfaces due to vibration. The suction cups on the protective pads help maintain the integrity of the glass batch and prevent it from slipping during transfer.

[0010] Preferably, a tray is stacked inside the housing, and the tray and protective pad are respectively arranged on both sides of the feed roller, so as to facilitate the transfer of glass in batches by equipment such as forklifts.

[0011] Preferably, side doors are provided on both sides of the housing, and the two side doors are respectively located on both sides of the protective pad and the tray. The protective pad and the tray can be added to the housing by opening the side doors.

The transfer robot includes a second electric cylinder, a second telescopic rod extending from the lower end of the second electric cylinder, a second telescopic rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the second base plate, and clamping rods rotatably connected to both sides of the second base plate. The transfer robot is used for the pallet and the protective pad.

[0013] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second electric cylinder, a chute is fixedly connected to the upper top wall of the housing, and the chute is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the feed roller, and the slider is slidably engaged with the chute. The transfer robot slides on the chute to change its position.

[0014] Preferably, a third motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and a screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor, and the screw thread is inserted into the slider. The third motor rotates the screw to drive the transfer robot to move.

[0015] Preferably, a first electromagnet is fixedly connected to the upper end of the clamping rod, and a second electromagnet is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the second base plate, with the first and second electromagnets arranged opposite each other. When the first and second electromagnets are energized, they generate magnetic fields that attract or repel each other, thereby clamping and releasing the clamping rod, and the control method is simple.

[0016] Preferably, the lower end of the support frame is fixedly connected with a running wheel for shifting and changing the position of the mobile frame, and a hub motor is provided on the running wheel.

[0017] Preferably, the steering transmission mechanism includes a base, a turntable rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base, and a plurality of co-directional transmission wheels rotatably connected to the upper end of the turntable.

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example:

[0035] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cold-end stacking and distribution system for glass. The system includes a housing 1, which is a rectangular parallelepiped. A feed roller 3 is provided at one end to convey the glass into the housing 1. A discharge roller 8 is provided at the other end to convey the glass out. Several steering transmission mechanisms 7 are arranged in series between the feed roller 3 and the discharge roller 8. During the transportation of the glass, the steering transmission mechanism 7 changes the direction of the transmission and transfers it to a designated area. Storage rollers 6 are provided on both sides of each steering transmission mechanism 7. Specifically, the glass is transferred to the storage rollers 6 for temporary storage. When it is needed, the storage rollers 6 are activated to transfer the glass to the steering transmission mechanism 7, which then delivers the glass to the discharge rollers 8.

[0036] The movable frame 4 is arranged above the feed roller 3, that is, it is used to move the glass on the movable frame 4, and the movable frame 4 is located inside the shell 1. The movable frame 4 includes a support frame 42, and the middle part of the upper end of the support frame 42 is fixedly connected to the first electric cylinder 45, and the lower end of the first electric cylinder 45 is extended to provide a first telescopic rod 44, and the lower end of the first telescopic rod 44 is fixedly connected to the first base plate 43. The first base plate 43 rises and falls under the transmission of the first electric cylinder 45. The four corners of the first base plate 43 are fixedly connected to the first motor 47, and the lower end of the first motor 47 is extended to provide an output end, and the output end is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 46. When the glass is transferred, the rotating rod 46 is at the bottom of the glass, and then the first motor 47 is started to drive the rotating rod 46 to rotate, so that one end of the rotating rod 46 rotates to the bottom of the glass. When the first base plate 43 rises, the rotating rod 46 presses against the lower part of the glass and lifts it up, and the part of the rotating rod 46 in contact with the glass should be provided with a rubber pad or a silicone pad.

[0037] The protective pad 5 is stacked inside the shell 1. The protective pad 5 includes a partition 51. The upper and lower end surfaces of the partition 51 are provided with several suction cups 54. When stacking the glass, the protective pad 5 is placed between the two pieces of glass. At the same time, the suction cup 54 is adsorbed on the surface of the glass to connect the upper and lower pieces of glass to improve the stability of the device. At the same time, when the suction cup 54 generates negative pressure suction, the rotating rod 46 is placed above the glass to buckle it, and then the gas in the suction cup 54 is squeezed out. An air pipe is provided inside the partition 51, and the air pipe is connected to all the suction cups 54. The side wall of the partition 51 is provided with an overflow valve 52 and an air valve 53, and the overflow valve 52 and the air valve 53 are both connected to the air pipe. The overflow valve 52 is used to send out the suction cup 54 and prevent the suction cup 54 from returning air. At the same time, the overflow valve 52 can be replaced with a one-way valve, and the air valve 53 is opened at the same time to replenish gas to the suction cup 54.

[0038] The shell 1 is internally stacked with a pallet 9, and the pallet 9 and the protective pad 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the feed roller 3. Before the glass is stacked, the pallet 9 can be placed at the bottom to facilitate the use of forklift equipment to transfer the glass in batches.

[0039] Side doors 2 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and the two side doors 2 are respectively located on both sides of the protective pad 5 and the tray 9. By opening the side doors 2, the protective pad 5 and the tray 9 can be added to the interior of the housing 1.

[0040] A transfer robot 10 is disposed within the housing 1 and positioned above the protective pad 5. The transfer robot 10 includes a second electric cylinder 103. A second telescopic rod 102 extends from the lower end of the second electric cylinder 103. The lower end of the second telescopic rod 102 is fixedly connected to a second base plate 101. Clamping rods 107 are rotatably connected to both sides of the second base plate 101. The second base plate 101 is raised and lowered by the second electric cylinder 103 to transfer the protective pad 5 or the pallet 9. The clamping rods 107 are used to clamp the protective pad 5 or the pallet 9.

[0041] A slider 105 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second electric cylinder 103. A chute is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the housing 1, and the chute is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the feed roller 3. The slider 105 slidably engages with the chute. A third motor 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A screw 106 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 104, and the screw 106 is threadedly inserted into the slider 105. When the third motor 104 is activated, the screw 106 rotates, and the slider 105 threadedly connected to it moves, realizing the movement of the transfer robot 10.

[0042] The upper end of the clamping rod 107 is fixedly connected to the first electromagnet 108, and the upper edge of the second base plate 101 is fixedly connected to the second electromagnet 109. The first electromagnet 108 and the second electromagnet 109 are arranged opposite to each other. When the first electromagnet 108 and the second electromagnet 109 are energized and repel each other, the clamping rod 107 clamps. If they are attracted to each other, the clamping rod 107 releases.

[0043] The lower end of the support frame 42 is fixedly connected with a running wheel 41. The hub motor in the running wheel 41 is started and the mobile frame 4 moves.

[0044] The steering transmission mechanism 7 includes a base 71, a turntable 73 is rotatably provided on the upper end of the base 71, and a number of same-direction transmission wheels 74 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the turntable 73. A hub motor is provided inside the transmission wheel 74, and the transmission wheel 74 is used for transferring materials. A second motor 72 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 71, and the output end of the second motor 72 is fixedly connected to the middle of the turntable 73. When the second motor 72 is started, the turntable 73 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the conveying direction on the transmission wheel 74.

[0045] Working principle: When in use, the glass is placed on the feed roller 3 and conveyed to the inside of the shell 1. Then, the transfer robot 10 places the tray 9 on the end of the feed roller 3. Then the mobile frame 4 transfers the glass conveyed to the shell 1 to the tray 9. Then the transfer robot 10 places the protective pad 5 on the glass. Thereafter, the protective pad 5 and the glass are staggered. After reaching the specified batch, the glass is transferred to the specified storage roller 6 through the steering transmission mechanism 7. When it needs to be taken again, the glass is sent out through the storage roller 6, the steering transmission mechanism 7 and the discharge roller 8.
