[0045] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a glass loading device, which includes two parallel conveying lines 1, a buffer tooling 2, a synchronous transfer module 3, a glass picking module 4, and a robotic arm 5. One of the conveying lines 1 is a loading line, which is used to convey the frame 100 carrying the glass 200, and the other conveying line 1 is an unloading line, which is used to convey the empty frame 100; the buffer tooling 2 is arranged between the two conveying lines 1, and the buffer tooling 2 is used to buffer the frame 100; the synchronous transfer module 3 is arranged on the same side of the buffer tooling 2 and the two conveying lines 1, and the synchronous transfer module 3 is used to transfer the frame 100 located on the loading line to the buffer tooling 2, and transfer the frame 100 located in the buffer tooling 2 to the unloading line; the glass picking module 4 is arranged between the buffer tooling 2 and the robotic arm 5, and the glass picking module 4 is used to transfer the glass 200 located in the buffer tooling 2 to one side of the robotic arm 5, and the robotic arm 5 is used to transfer the glass 200 located in the glass picking module 4 to the tray on the tape sticking conveying line.

[0047] Specifically, when loading the glass 200, the loading line conveys the frame 100 carrying the glass 200 to one side of the buffer tooling 2, and the synchronous transfer module 3 transfers the frame 100 to the buffer tooling 2. At the same time, the synchronous transfer module 3 also transfers the empty frame 100 in the buffer tooling 2 to the unloading line. After the frame 100 carrying the glass 200 is transferred to the buffer tooling 2, the glass picking module 4 transfers the glass 200 in the frame 100 to one side of the robotic arm 5, and the robotic arm 5 transfers the glass 200 to the tray on the tape sticking conveying line to complete the loading of the glass 200; using the glass loading device of this embodiment can improve the degree of automation and reduce labor costs; in this embodiment, the robotic arm 5 transfers the glass 200 to the tray, so that the adhesive tape on the tray adheres to the bottom surface of the glass 200 to ensure the accuracy of tape sticking.

[0048] Optionally, the execution end of the robotic arm 5 is provided with a mounting plate 51 and a double-acting cylinder 52. The output end of the robotic arm 5 is connected to the mounting plate 51, and double-acting cylinders 52 are installed at both ends of the mounting plate 51. One of the double-acting cylinders 52 clamps two adjacent sides of the glass 200, and the other double-acting cylinder 52 clamps the other two adjacent sides of the glass 200.

[0049] The glass 200 has been cleaned before loading, and there is no dust and impurities adhered to the front surface of the glass 200, avoiding the permanent adhesion of dust and impurities to the front surface of the glass 200 during subsequent tape sticking and coating. In this embodiment, the double-acting cylinder 52 is used to clamp the side of the glass 200, so as to transfer the glass 200 to the tray, avoiding the adsorption device such as the suction cup from contacting the front surface of the glass 200 and leaving adsorption marks on the front surface of the glass 200.

[0050] Optionally, clamping fingers 53 are provided at both output ends of the bi-directional cylinder 52 in opposite directions. A ring groove 531 is provided on the circumference of the clamping fingers 53. The bi-directional cylinder 52 can drive the two clamping fingers 53 to approach each other to clamp the glass 200. The side of the glass 200 abuts against the bottom of the ring groove 531, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping and preventing the glass 200 from detaching from the clamping fingers 53.

[0051] Optionally, the synchronous transfer module 3 includes a first driving component 31 and two lifting components 32. The two lifting components 32 are both installed at the output end of the first driving component 31. The first driving component 31 drives the two lifting components 32 to move synchronously along the X-axis direction on the same side of the buffer tooling 2 and the two conveyor lines 1. One of the lifting components 32 is a loading lifting component for lifting the material box 100 located on the loading line, and the other lifting component 32 is an unloading lifting component for lifting the material box 100 located on the buffer tooling 2.

[0052] Specifically, by using the two lifting components 32 to move synchronously along the X-axis direction, the material box 100 can be transferred synchronously, improving the transfer efficiency; the distance between the two lifting components 32 is equal to the distance between the loading line and the buffer tooling 2, and is also equal to the distance between the unloading line and the buffer tooling 2.

[0053] Optionally, an avoidance notch 11 is provided at one end of the conveyor line 1 close to the synchronous transfer module 3. First rollers 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the avoidance notch 11 for supporting the material box 100. The lifting component 32 includes a lifting cylinder 321 and a lifting plate 322. The lifting plate 322 is installed at the output end of the lifting cylinder 321 and extends towards the side of the avoidance notch 11. The lifting cylinder 321 drives the lifting plate 322 to lift or lower the material box 100 from the bottom of the avoidance notch 11.

[0054] Specifically, before the loading line conveys the material box 100 to the avoidance notch 11, the first driving assembly 31 drives the loading lifting assembly to the avoidance notch 11. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 321 in the loading lifting assembly drives the lifting plate 322 downward along the Z-axis to the lower part of the avoidance notch 11. After the loading line conveys the material box 100 to the avoidance notch 11, the first roller 12 supports the material box 100 at the avoidance notch 11. The lifting cylinder 321 in the loading lifting assembly drives the lifting plate 322 upward along the Z-axis. The lifting plate 322 lifts the material box 100 from the bottom to disengage it from the first roller 12. The first driving assembly 31 drives the loading lifting assembly and the material box 100 to the avoidance notch 221 of the buffer tooling 2. The lifting cylinder 321 in the loading lifting assembly drives the lifting plate 322 downward along the Z-axis. The lifting plate 322 places the material box 100 on the buffer table 22 of the buffer tooling 2. At this time, the lifting plate 322 is located below the avoidance notch 221 of the buffer tooling 2. When the loading lifting assembly lifts the material box 100 on the loading line, the unloading lifting assembly lifts the empty material box 100 in the buffer tooling 2. The lifting cylinder 321 in the unloading lifting assembly drives the lifting plate 322 upward along the Z-axis. The lifting plate 322 lifts the material box 100 from the bottom to disengage it from the buffer table 22. The first driving assembly 31 drives the unloading lifting assembly and the material box 100 to the avoidance notch 11 of the unloading line. The lifting cylinder 321 in the unloading lifting assembly drives the lifting plate 322 downward along the Z-axis. The lifting plate 322 places the material box 100 on the first roller 12 of the unloading line.

[0055] Optionally, the conveyor line 1 includes a plurality of second rollers 13 rotatably arranged and parallel to each other. The second rollers 13 are arranged along the Y-axis on the side of the avoidance notch 11 away from the synchronous transfer module 3.

[0056] Optionally, a motor module 6 is arranged on the conveyor line 1. The second roller 13 is connected to the output end of the motor module 6. The motor module 6 is used to drive the second roller 13.

[0057] Optionally, the first roller 12 is in transmission connection with the second roller 13.

[0058] Specifically, the motor module 6 drives the second roller 13 to rotate. The second roller 13 in the loading line conveys the material box 100 to the first roller 12. The material box 100 at the first roller 12 in the unloading line is conveyed to the second roller 13.

[0059] Optionally, the buffer tooling 2 includes a second driving component 21 and a buffer table 22. The buffer table 22 is installed at the output end of the second driving component 21. The second driving component 21 drives the buffer table 22 to move along the Z-axis direction. An avoidance notch 221 is provided at one end of the buffer table 22 close to the synchronous transfer module 3. The lifting cylinder 321 drives the lifting plate 322 to lift or lower the material frame 100 from the bottom of the avoidance notch 221.

[0060] Specifically, before the first driving component 31 drives the loading lifting component to move along the X-axis direction towards the loading line, the buffer tooling 2 also supports the empty material frame 100. Therefore, the second driving component 21 first drives the buffer table 22 to move upwards along the Z-axis direction, so as to avoid the lifting component 32, that is, the lifting plate 322 of the loading lifting component moves upwards along the Z-axis direction from below the buffer table 22, and the lifting plate 322 of the unloading lifting component moves upwards along the Z-axis direction from below the avoidance notch 11 of the unloading line. The first driving component 31 synchronously drives the loading lifting component and the unloading lifting component to move along the X-axis direction towards the loading line. The lifting plate 322 of the loading lifting component moves to below the avoidance notch 11 of the loading line, and the lifting plate 322 of the unloading lifting component moves to below the buffer table 22. Then, the second driving component 21 lowers the empty material frame 100.

[0061] The synchronous transfer module 3 of this embodiment does not require an additional power component for driving along the Y-axis direction. The synchronous transfer module 3 does not move along the Y-axis direction during the process of transporting and transferring the material frame 100, reducing the moving distance and shortening the transfer time. Therefore, the production efficiency can be improved.

[0062] Optionally, the glass picking module 4 includes a third driving component 41 and a suction table 42. The suction table 42 is arranged at the output end of the third driving component 41. The third driving component 41 drives the suction table 42 to move along the Y-axis direction to the bottom of the material frame 100 carried on the buffer tooling 2. A suction cup 43 is arranged on the suction table 42, and the suction cup 43 is used for sucking the glass 200 located in the material frame 100.

[0063] Specifically, the third driving component 41 drives the suction table 42 and the suction cup 43 to below the buffer table 22, and the suction cup 43 sucks the glass 200 from the bottom, so as to transfer the multiple pieces of glass 200 carried on the material frame 100 one by one from bottom to top.

[0064] Optionally, the glass picking module 4 further includes a fourth driving component 44. The fourth driving component 44 is installed at the output end of the third driving component 41, and the suction table 42 is installed at the output end of the fourth driving component 44. The fourth driving component 44 drives the suction table 42 to move along the Z-axis direction.

[0065] Specifically, the second driving component 21 drives the buffer table 22 to move in the Z-axis direction for rough adjustment, and the fourth driving component 44 drives the adsorption table 42 and the suction cup 43 in the Z-axis direction for fine adjustment. Therefore, multiple pieces of glass 200 carried on the material frame 100 can be transferred one by one from bottom to top.

[0066] Optionally, the first driving component 31, the second driving component 21, and the third driving component 41 are all existing linear driving components, such as linear driving components including motors and lead screw nut pairs.

[0067] Optionally, the fourth driving component 44 is a linear driving cylinder.
