[0002] With the popularization of electronic products and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more users are using various electronic products, such as mobile phones, watches and tablets.
[0003] As an important component of electronic products, the display screen needs to have film applied to its front and bottom surfaces. An empty tray is transported to the underside of the adhesive application mechanism by a transfer device. The adhesive application mechanism applies adhesive tape to the tray, and then an employee places the display screen into the tray, so that the adhesive tape in the tray is applied to the bottom surface of the display screen. The transfer device then continues to transport the tray carrying the display screen to the next adhesive application mechanism, which applies adhesive tape to the front surface of the display screen.
[0004] After the adhesive is applied to both sides of the display screen, existing employees remove the display screens one by one from the transfer device and place them into the tray, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a glass unloading device, which includes a support 1 and a robotic arm 8. A belt conveyor 2 is arranged on the support 1 along the X-axis direction. A buffer device 3, a tray separating device 4, a receiving device 5, a tray stacking device 6, and a tray collecting device 7 are also arranged sequentially on the support 1 along the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 2. The buffer device 3 is used to buffer stacked and empty trays 100. The tray separating device 4 is used to separate stacked and empty trays 100 one by one. The receiving device 5 is used to receive empty trays 100. The tray stacking device 6 is used to stack trays 100 loaded with glass one by one. The tray collecting device 7 is used to collect stacked and fully loaded trays 100. The robotic arm 8 is arranged on one side of the receiving device 5. The robotic arm 8 is used to transfer the glass on the adhesive conveying line 200 to the trays 100 of the receiving device 5.
[0051] Specifically, when using the glass cutting equipment of this embodiment, the bracket 1 is set parallel to one side of the adhesive conveyor line 200. The direction of the conveyor belt 2 conveying the trays 100 is parallel to the direction of the adhesive conveyor line 200 conveying glass. The robotic arm 8 is located between the receiving device 5 and the adhesive conveyor line 200, reducing the movement path of the robotic arm 8 and shortening the glass handling time. When the glass cutting equipment is running, the employee stacks multiple empty trays 100 on the buffer device 3. The conveyor belt 2 transports the stacked empty trays 100 as a whole to the tray separating device 4. The tray separating device 4 separates the trays 100 one by one. The belt conveyor 2 transports a single tray 100 to the receiving device 5. The robotic arm 8 transfers the glass from the adhesive application conveyor 200 to the tray 100 on the receiving device 5. Once the tray 100 on the receiving device 5 is full of glass, the belt conveyor 2 transports the full tray 100 to the stacking device 6. The stacking device 6 stacks the full trays 100 one by one. After the stacking device 6 has stacked a preset number of trays 100, the belt conveyor 2 transports the stacked and full trays 100 to the receiving device 7. The worker removes the stacked and full trays 100 from the receiving device 7, completing the unloading process. The glass unloading equipment in this embodiment can improve the degree of automation and reduce labor costs.
[0052] Optionally, the belt conveyor 2 includes a motor, a belt, and pulleys. Two pulleys are rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the first end of the support 1, and two pulleys are rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the last end of the support 1. There are two belts, which pass over the pulleys at the first and last ends of the support 1 respectively. The two belts are parallel and spaced apart.
[0053] Optionally, the glass unloading equipment also includes an isolation net 11. The isolation net 11 is set on the side of the bracket 1 near the adhesive conveyor line 200. There are two isolation nets 11, and the robotic arm 8 is located between the two isolation nets 11. The isolation nets 11 isolate the robotic arm 8 to prevent employees from touching the robotic arm 8 and ensure the safety of employees.
[0054] Optionally, the glass unloading equipment also includes a barcode scanning mechanism 9, which is located below the robotic arm 8. The barcode scanning mechanism 9 is used to scan the glass adsorbed on the robotic arm 8 from the bottom. When the robotic arm 8 transfers glass from the adhesive conveyor line 200, the execution end of the robotic arm 8 adsorbs the front of the glass, making it impossible to scan the QR code on the glass from the front. Therefore, the barcode scanning mechanism 9 is located below the robotic arm 8, and it scans the glass adsorbed on the robotic arm 8 from the bottom.
[0055] Optionally, the execution end of the robotic arm 8 is equipped with two buffer cylinders 81, which are arranged in parallel. Each buffer cylinder 81 has a non-contact suction cup 82 at its output end. The two buffer cylinders 81 drive the two non-contact suction cups 82 to approach and adsorb the same piece of glass. The glass on the adhesive conveyor line 200 is supported by a tray, and the bottom surface of the glass is covered with adhesive tape. To ensure that the glass can be smoothly removed from the tray, this embodiment uses a double suction cup method to remove the glass from the tray. That is, two non-contact suction cups 82 adsorb the same piece of glass. At this time, the buffer cylinder 81 and non-contact suction cup 82 of the same group first pull one side of the glass away from the tray, and then the buffer cylinder 81 and non-contact suction cup 82 of the other group pull the glass completely away from the tray, thereby improving the success rate of glass removal. Since there is adhesive tape between the glass and the tray, the adsorption force acting on the glass needs to reach a relatively large level. When a contact suction cup comes into contact with the glass, a large adsorption force is likely to leave obvious adsorption marks on the glass, and the appearance of the glass will not meet the requirements. Therefore, this embodiment uses non-contact suction cups 82 to adsorb the glass. The working principle of non-contact suction cups 82 can be referred to the prior art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. This embodiment uses non-contact suction cups 82 to adsorb the glass, which can avoid leaving obvious adsorption marks on the glass.
[0056] Optionally, the buffer device 3 includes a first cylinder 31 and a first lifting plate 32. The first cylinder 31 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the first lifting plate 32 is disposed at the output end of the first cylinder 31. The stacked and unloaded material trays 100 are supported by the first lifting plate 32. When the first cylinder 31 drives the first lifting plate 32 downward along the Z-axis direction, the first lifting plate 32 places the stacked and unloaded material trays 100 onto the belt conveyor 2. When the tray separating device 4 is still carrying the tray 100, the first cylinder 31 drives the first lifting plate 32 to move upward. The first lifting plate 32 causes the stacked and unloaded tray 100 to separate from the belt in the belt conveyor 2. The stacked and unloaded tray 100 is buffered on the first lifting plate 32. The operation of the belt conveyor 2 does not interfere with the tray 100 buffered on the first lifting plate 32. After the tray 100 in the tray separating device 4 has been conveyed, the first cylinder 31 drives the first lifting plate 32 to move downward. The first lifting plate 32 moves to the bottom of the two belts. The stacked and unloaded tray 100 is carried on the two belts. The two belts move the stacked and unloaded tray 100 as a whole to the tray separating device 4.
[0057] Optionally, the tray separating device 4 includes a tray separating assembly 41, which includes a second cylinder 411, a third cylinder 412, a mounting plate 413, a support plate 414, and a tray separating plate 415. The second cylinder 411 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the mounting plate 413 is mounted on the output end of the second cylinder 411. The second cylinder 411 drives the mounting plate 413 to move closer to or away from the tray 100 located on the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis direction. The third cylinder 412 and the support plate 414 are both mounted on the mounting plate 413. The support plate 414 extends toward one side of the belt conveyor 2. The support plate 414 is used to support the second-to-last material tray 100 located at the bottom. The tray separating plate 415 is installed at the output end of the third cylinder 412. The tray separating plate 415 extends toward one side of the belt conveyor 2. The third cylinder 412 drives the tray separating plate 415 along the Z-axis direction to separate the first-to-last material tray 100 located at the bottom from the other material trays 100. The tray separating assembly 41 is set in two groups. The two groups of tray separating assemblies 41 are respectively set on both sides of the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis direction.
[0058] After the material trays 100 are stacked, there is a large clamping force between two adjacent material trays 100. A large force is required to separate two adjacent material trays 100. Therefore, in this embodiment, a third cylinder 412 and a separating plate 415 are used to separate the material trays 100 one by one. Specifically, the second cylinder 411 drives the mounting plate 413 closer to the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis direction, and the support plate 414 is inserted into the body or bottom of the second-to-last material tray 100. The second-to-last and subsequent material trays 100... The tray 100 is supported by the support plate 414. At this time, the tray separating plate 415 is also inserted into the body or top of the bottom first tray 100. The third cylinder 412 drives the tray separating plate 415 downward along the Z-axis. The tray separating plate 415 separates the bottom first tray 100 from the other trays 100. The tray 100 falls onto the two belts of the belt conveyor 2, completing the separation of the tray 100. In this embodiment, two tray separating assemblies 41 are used to separate the trays 100, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the trays 100.
[0059] Optionally, the tray separating device 4 also includes a fourth cylinder 42 and a second lifting plate 43. The fourth cylinder 42 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the second lifting plate 43 is located at the output end of the fourth cylinder 42. The fourth cylinder 42 drives the second lifting plate 43 along the Z-axis direction to receive the trays 100 separated from the tray separating assembly 41 and place the trays 100 on the belt conveyor 2.
[0060] Before the separating plate 415 separates the bottommost tray 100 from the other trays 100, the fourth cylinder 42 drives the second lifting plate 43 to abut against the bottom of the bottommost tray 100. While separating the bottommost tray 100, the fourth cylinder 42 drives the second lifting plate 43 to descend. The second lifting plate 43 carries the bottommost tray 100 until it places the tray 100 on the belt of the belt conveyor 2. The fourth cylinder 42 and the second lifting plate 43 can stably lower the tray 100 onto the belt of the belt conveyor 2. After the separating plate separates the tray 100, it can prevent the tray 100 from falling onto the belt of the belt conveyor 2 in a free fall.
[0061] Optionally, the tray-separating device 4 also includes a fifth cylinder 44, and a fourth cylinder 42 is disposed at the output end of the fifth cylinder 44. The fifth cylinder 44 drives the fourth cylinder 42 along the Z-axis direction to move the stacked trays 100 down by a preset distance.
[0062] When separating the next tray 100, the fifth cylinder 44 drives the fourth cylinder 42 and the second lifting plate 43 to move upward. After the second lifting plate 43 abuts against the bottom of the tray 100, the second cylinder 411 drives the mounting plate 413 away from the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis. The support plate 414 and the separating plate are both away from the tray 100. Then, the fifth cylinder 44 drives the fourth cylinder 42 and the second lifting plate 43 to move downward by the thickness of one tray 100. The tray separating assembly 41 then continues to perform tray separating work.
[0063] Optionally, the tray separating device 4 also includes a first blocking plate 45, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 and located downstream of the tray separating assembly 41. The first blocking plate 45 is used to block the stacked and empty trays 100 on one side of the tray separating assembly 41. When the belt conveyor 2 transports the stacked and empty trays 100 from the buffer device 3 to the tray separating device 4, the first blocking plate 45 can block the stacked and empty trays 100 on one side of the tray separating assembly 41.
[0064] Optionally, the bottom of the first baffle plate 45 is provided with a material discharge notch, and the belt conveyor 2 can drive the separated material tray 100 through the material discharge notch of the first baffle plate 45 to continue moving toward the receiving device 5.
[0065] Optionally, the receiving device 5 includes a sixth cylinder 51 and a third lifting plate 52. The sixth cylinder 51 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the third lifting plate 52 is located at the output end of the sixth cylinder 51. The sixth cylinder 51 drives the third lifting plate 52 along the Z-axis direction to block the material tray 100 on the belt conveyor 2. A transfer module 10 is provided above the receiving device 5. The transfer module 10 includes a first drive assembly 101, a seventh cylinder 102, and an adsorption plate assembly 103. The seventh cylinder 102 is located at the output end of the first drive assembly 101. The first drive assembly 101 drives the seventh cylinder 102 to move along the Y-axis direction. The adsorption plate assembly 103 is located at the output end of the seventh cylinder 102. The seventh cylinder 102 drives the adsorption plate assembly 103 to move along the Z-axis direction to approach the material tray 100 blocked on the belt conveyor 2. The adsorption plate assembly 103 is used to adsorb the glass carried on the material tray 100.
[0066] The robotic arm 8 has a limited range of movement and cannot directly transfer the glass from the adhesive conveyor line 200 to the end of the tray 100 away from the adhesive conveyor line 200. The robotic arm 8 can only transfer the glass from the adhesive conveyor line 200 to the end of the tray 100 close to the adhesive conveyor line 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, a transfer module 10 is used to assist in the glass transfer operation. Specifically, the sixth cylinder 51 drives the third lifting plate 52 upward along the Z-axis to block the tray 100 behind the belt conveyor device 2. The robotic arm 8 transfers the glass to the end of the tray 100 close to the adhesive conveyor line 200. The first drive assembly 101 drives the seventh cylinder 102 and the suction plate assembly 103 to move towards one side of the adhesive conveyor line 200. When the seventh cylinder 102 and the suction plate assembly 103 move to directly above the end of the tray 100 close to the adhesive conveyor line 200, the seventh cylinder... Cylinder 102 drives the adsorption plate assembly 103 to approach the material tray 100. The adsorption plate assembly 103 adsorbs the glass on the material tray 100. Since there is almost no adhesion between the glass and the material tray 100, the adsorption force is equal to the weight of the glass. The adsorption plate assembly 103 only needs to overcome the gravity of the glass, so the adsorption marks are not obvious and the appearance of the glass is qualified. Then, the first drive assembly 101 drives the seventh cylinder 102 and the adsorption plate assembly 103 away from the adhesive conveying line 200. After moving to directly above the end of the material tray 100 away from the adhesive conveying line 200, the seventh cylinder 102 and the adsorption plate assembly 103 lower the glass. After the entire material tray 100 is filled with glass, the sixth cylinder 51 drives the third lifting plate 52 to descend, removing the obstruction to the material tray 100. The belt conveyor 2 transports the material tray 100 full of glass to the stacking device 6.
[0067] Optionally, the stacking device 6 includes an eighth cylinder 61, a fourth lifting plate 62, and two sets of stacking assemblies 63. The eighth cylinder 61 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the fourth lifting plate 62 is disposed at the output end of the eighth cylinder 61. The two sets of stacking assemblies 63 are respectively disposed on both sides of the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis. The stacking assembly 63 includes a ninth cylinder 631, a bearing plate 632, a limiting block 633, and a rotating plate 634. The bearing plate 632 is installed at the output end of the ninth cylinder 631, and the limiting block 633 is installed at the output end of the ninth cylinder 631. Mounted on the top of the support plate 632, one end of the rotating plate 634 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 633 around the X-axis. The limiting block 633 extends toward one side of the belt conveyor 2 and has a limiting platform. The limiting platform is used to support the other end of the rotating plate 634. The ninth cylinder 631 drives the support plate 632 to move closer to or away from the material tray 100 on the belt conveyor 2 along the Y-axis. The end of the rotating plate 634 away from the limiting block 633 is used to support the material tray 100. The eighth cylinder 61 drives the fourth lifting plate 62 to move upward along the Z-axis.
[0068] After the tray 100, fully loaded with glass, is conveyed above the fourth lifting plate 62, the eighth cylinder 61 drives the fourth lifting plate 62 to move upward. The fourth lifting plate 62 lifts the tray 100, which is supported on the belt conveyor 2. During the upward movement, the tray 100 abuts against the bottom of the tray 100 supported on the rotating plate 634. The trays 100 stack and continue to move upward. At this time, the rotating plate 634 rotates. After the lowest tray 100 passes over the rotating plate 634, the rotating plate 634 separates from the tray 100 and returns to its original position, abutting against the limiting platform of the limiting block 633. At this time, the eighth cylinder 61 drives the fourth lifting plate 62 to detach from the material tray 100, and the stacked material trays 100 are supported on the rotating plate 634 to complete the stacking of the material trays 100. In this embodiment, two sets of stacking assemblies 63 are used to improve the stacking efficiency. When the stacked material trays 100 reach the preset number, the ninth cylinder 631 drives the supporting plate 632 away from the material trays 100, the rotating plate 634 detaches from the bottom of the material trays 100, and the stacked material trays 100 are lowered by the fourth lifting plate 62 onto the belt of the belt conveyor 2 to prevent the stacked material trays 100 from falling freely onto the belt of the belt conveyor 2.
[0069] Optionally, the stacking plate assembly 63 also includes a second baffle plate 635, which is mounted on the support plate 632 and is used to block the tray 100 directly above the fourth lifting plate 62.
[0070] Optionally, the receiving device 7 includes a tenth cylinder 71 and a fifth lifting plate 72. The tenth cylinder 71 is located below the belt conveyor 2, and the fifth lifting plate 72 is located at the output end of the tenth cylinder 71. When the tenth cylinder 71 drives the fifth lifting plate 72 upward along the Z-axis, the fifth lifting plate 72 lifts the fully loaded tray 100 on the belt conveyor 2.
[0071] After the fully loaded and stacked trays 100 are conveyed to the top of the fifth lifting plate 72, the tenth cylinder 71 drives the fifth lifting plate 72 to move upward, and the fifth lifting plate 72 lifts the fully loaded and stacked trays 100 off the belt of the belt conveyor 2.
