Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of special glass processing, in particular to an online transmission system for ultra-thin flexible glass. Background technology:
[0004] Ultra-thin flexible glass needs to go through multiple processes such as cutting, edging, polishing, cleaning, inspection, and packaging during the cold-end processing process in the annealing kiln. At the same time, with the increasingly higher quality requirements of electronic displays, the process flow of ultra-thin flexible glass in the production and processing process has become more complicated, resulting in an increase in the movement, handling, and clamping of the glass during transportation on the production line. The probability of relative sliding between the glass plate and the conveyor belt increases, and the scratch and damage rate increases, resulting in a lower yield rate.
[0005] At the same time, the ultra-thin flexible glass is extremely thin (≤0.1mm) and fragile, so during the flipping, slicing and other processes, due to the adsorption force between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt, the slicing operation must be very cautious, otherwise it is very easy to cause the glass to break, resulting in a further reduction in the yield rate. Summary of the invention:
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in which the glass is easily broken when taking out the glass due to the adsorption force between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt, and to provide an ultra-thin flexible glass online conveying system to improve the yield of ultra-thin flexible glass.
[0008] Technical solution:
[0009] The present invention provides an ultra-thin flexible glass online transmission system, which is characterized by comprising:
[0010] A pair of bases, each base is connected to a support frame, a power motor is provided on one of the support frames, said one support frame is provided with a power roller, the power motor transmits power to the power roller through a belt, and an auxiliary roller is provided on the other support frame. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the power roller and the auxiliary roller, and the conveyor belt is driven by the power motor and the belt to rotate along the power roller and the auxiliary roller;
[0011] A set of support grids are arranged at regular intervals on the surface of the conveyor belt perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt. A set of vertical air channels are arranged inside the conveyor belt. Each vertical air channel cooperates with a corresponding set of support grids. That is, a set of interconnected air holes are arranged in the vertical air channels. A flexible air nozzle is arranged in each air hole. The flexible air nozzle is located on the side of the support grid.
[0012] There is also a set of parallel airways in the conveyor belt, and each parallel airway is connected to the corresponding vertical airway;
[0013] At certain intervals along the sides of the conveyor belt, there are respectively connected a U-shaped fixture. Above each U-shaped fixture, there is a connected air pump, and the air pump is connected to a parallel air duct.
[0014] Furthermore, the conveyor belt and the support grid are made of elastic materials. The support grids are distributed at intervals on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and one side of the support grid forms an acute angle with the opposite direction of the conveyor belt movement.
[0015] Furthermore, the top of the flexible air nozzle is arranged on the side of the support grid, and the top of the flexible air nozzle is triangular in shape. When the placed flexible glass plate presses down the support grid, and at the same time the flexible glass plate seals the triangular opening of the air hole. When the flexible glass plate is removed, the support grid and the air hole return to their original states.
[0016] The present invention also provides a method for online conveying of ultra-thin flexible glass, including the following steps:
[0017] S1. Start the power motor, and the conveyor belt starts to rotate.
[0018] S2. When the ultra-thin flexible glass is transported onto the conveyor belt, due to the self-gravity of the glass, the support grid swings downward and the air hole opens. At this time, start the air pump to pump air, so that the ultra-thin flexible glass is adsorbed on the conveyor belt and starts to be conveyed;
[0019] S3. When the ultra-thin flexible glass undergoes processes such as cutting and cleaning during the conveying process, the air pump automatically adjusts the power according to the set air pressure value, so that the adsorption force between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt remains unchanged, reducing the damage rate caused by the relative sliding of the glass with respect to the conveyor belt;
[0020] S4. When it is about to pick up the glass at the end of the conveying, the air pump changes to the blowing state, causing air-floating separation between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt, thereby facilitating the staff or the machine to pick up the glass. After the picking up is completed, the air pump stops working and the conveying ends.
[0021] Beneficial effects:
[0022] During the conveyance of ultra-thin flexible glass on a conveyor belt, the ultra-thin flexible glass is adsorbed onto the conveyor belt by pumping air with an air pump, preventing the ultra-thin flexible glass from sliding during processes such as cutting, cleaning, and inspection, and effectively reducing the scratching rate of the glass. During the sheet-taking operations required in processes such as flipping and slicing, the air pump blows air to generate an air-floating separation between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt, facilitating manual or intelligent machine sheet-taking. Especially after the glass has undergone polishing and cleaning processes, there are liquids such as polishing fluid and water stains between the glass and the conveyor belt. At this time, sheet-taking can easily cause the glass to break due to the large adsorption force between the glass and the conveyor belt caused by liquid sealing. The technology of the present invention can effectively solve this technical problem, effectively reducing the breakage rate and improving the production efficiency and yield. At the same time, the support grid on the conveyor belt can effectively buffer the acting force when the glass is adsorbed and separated from the conveyor belt, further reducing the breakage rate during the conveyance of the ultra-thin flexible glass. By controlling the swing of the support grid through the self-weight of the glass, the opening and closing of a single air hole are controlled, reducing the energy consumption of the air pump, and it can meet the fixed conveyance of ultra-thin flexible glass of different sizes and special-shaped glass, with a wide range of application fields.

[0030] A "C"-shaped fixture 10 is respectively connected to the side of the conveyor belt 9 at a certain interval, and an air pump 11 is connected to each "C"-shaped fixture 10. Since the air pump 11 is a prior art, it will not be described in detail here.
[0031] A group of support grids 12 are arranged at regular intervals on the surface of the conveyor belt 9 along a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt's running direction. A group of vertical air channels 13 are provided inside the conveyor belt. Each vertical air channel 13 cooperates with a corresponding group of support grids 12. That is, a group of interconnected air holes 14 are provided in the vertical air channels 13, and a flexible air nozzle 15 is provided in each air hole.
[0032] The conveyor belt 9 and the support grid 12 are made of elastic materials such as rubber, polyurethane, etc. The support grid is a pointed sheet. The support grid 12 is distributed at intervals on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 9, and one side of the support grid 12 forms an acute angle with the opposite direction of the conveyor belt 9.
[0033] The top of the flexible air nozzle 15 is set on the side of the support grid 12, and the top of the flexible air nozzle 15 is triangular in shape. The flexible glass plate placed on it can press down the support grid 12, and the flexible glass plate simultaneously seals the triangular mouth of the air hole 13.

The exhaust end is connected to the parallel air channel 11a, and the parallel air channel 11a is connected to the vertical air channel 13.
[0035] The present invention also provides an online transmission method for ultra-thin flexible glass, which is characterized in that it includes the following steps:
[0036] S1. Turn on the power motor and the conveyor belt starts to rotate.
[0037] S2. When the ultra-thin flexible glass is transported to the conveyor belt, the support grid swings downward due to the glass's own gravity, opening the air holes. The air pump is then turned on to extract air, causing the ultra-thin flexible glass to be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt and begin transportation.
[0038] S3. When the ultra-thin flexible glass is being cut, cleaned, or otherwise transported, the air pump automatically adjusts its power according to the set air pressure to maintain the adhesion between the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt, reducing damage to the glass caused by slipping relative to the conveyor belt.
[0039] S4. When the conveying is finished and the sheet is about to be taken, the air pump changes to the blowing state, so that the ultra-thin flexible glass and the conveyor belt are separated by air floating, making it easier for staff or machines to take the sheet. After the sheet is taken, the air pump stops working and the conveying is completed.
