Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of glass processing, and in particular, to a glass hot bending device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the automobile industry is becoming more and more intelligent. From button control to touch control, from touch control to voice control, "LCD central control screen" has become an indispensable product in automobiles. Nowadays, more and more car displays use curved glass. These curved glasses are not only complex in shape, but also more and more difficult to process. In addition, with the complexity of the processing technology, the requirements for curved glass production equipment are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] In the related art, during the hot bending process, the glass needs to be heated to the forming temperature of the glass through a mold, which causes the heat energy consumed by the glass to be very high during the hot bending process, which is not conducive to the mass industrial production of glass. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a glass bending device, which can reduce the heat energy consumption during the glass bending process.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present disclosure provides a glass hot bending equipment, including: a glass preheating device, used to preheat glass; a glass forming device, used to heat the preheated glass in different zones at different temperatures according to the hot bending shape of the glass and complete the hot bending of the glass; a glass cooling device, used to cool the hot-bent glass; and a glass conveying device, used to convey the preheated glass from the glass preheating device to the glass forming device, and used to convey the hot-bent glass from the glass forming device to the glass cooling device.

[0006] Through the above technical scheme, in the glass bending equipment provided by the present invention, the glass preheating device is used to preheat the glass so that the glass has a certain initial temperature. After that, the preheated glass is moved to the glass forming device by means of the operation of the glass conveying device. In the glass forming device, in order to reduce the heat consumption in the glass bending process, different areas of the glass are heated at different temperatures during the glass bending forming process according to the different shapes of the required bent glass. When heating in this way, only the bent part of the glass needs to be heated to the temperature required for forming, while the non-bent flat part can be heated to a relatively low temperature. This can ensure that the physical properties of the flat part of the glass will not be changed, and the flat part of the glass will not be cracked due to the large temperature difference with the bent part of the glass. At the same time, it also saves a lot of heat energy in the glass bending forming process. In addition, since the glass hot bending equipment disclosed in the present invention arranges the glass cooling device outside the glass forming device, that is, when the hot-bent glass needs to be cooled, the glass can be transferred from the glass forming device to the glass cooling device through the glass conveying device. Therefore, the heating and cooling are separated during the glass processing and do not interfere with each other. In this way, the heat generated in the hot bending process can be reused repeatedly, which can not only further reduce the heat energy consumption, but also make the entire glass processing process continuous, which is conducive to realizing the automated operation of hot-bent glass production and improving the production efficiency of glass.

In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same figure numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be understood as limitations on the present disclosure.

[0035] Before describing the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, in order to facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure, the inventive concept is summarized as follows:

[0036] In response to the problem that glass consumes a lot of heat energy during the hot bending process mentioned in the background technology part, a glass hot bending device is provided. During the use of the device, the glass to be hot-bent is no longer heated to the forming temperature as a whole. Instead, the glass is heated in different areas at different temperatures according to the shape of the glass to be hot-bent, so as to reduce the heat energy consumption during the glass hot bending process.

[0037] Glass bending equipment

[0038] According to the specific implementation provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure, a glass bending device is provided. Figures 1 to 18 As shown, the glass bending equipment includes a glass preheating device 100, a glass forming device 200, a glass cooling device 300 and a glass conveying device 400.

[0039] Among them, the glass preheating device 100 is used to preheat the glass 500 so that the glass 500 has a certain initial temperature. After that, the preheated glass 500 is moved to the glass forming device 200 with the help of the operation of the glass conveying device 400. In the glass forming device 200, in order to reduce the heat consumption of the glass 500 during the hot bending process, different temperatures are used to heat different areas of the glass 500 during the hot bending forming process of the glass 500 according to the different shapes of the required hot bent glass 500. When heating in this way, only the hot bending part of the glass 500 needs to be heated to the temperature required for forming, while the non-hot bending flat part can be heated to a relatively low temperature. In this way, it can ensure that the physical properties of this part of the glass 500 in the flat part will not be changed, and this part of the glass 500 in the flat part will not be cracked due to the excessive temperature difference with this part of the glass 500 in the hot bending part. At the same time, it also saves a lot of heat energy during the hot bending forming process of the glass 500. In addition, since the glass hot bending equipment disclosed in the present invention arranges the glass cooling device 300 outside the glass forming device 200, that is, when the hot-bent glass 500 needs to be cooled, the glass 500 can be transferred from the glass forming device 200 to the glass cooling device 300 through the glass conveying device 400. Therefore, the heating and cooling are separated during the processing of the glass 500 and do not interfere with each other. In this way, the heat in the hot bending forming process can be reused repeatedly, which can not only further reduce the heat energy consumption, but also make the entire processing process of the glass 500 continuous, which is conducive to realizing the automated operation of the hot-bent glass 500 production and improving the production efficiency of the glass 500.

[0040] In order to facilitate intuitive understanding of the working principle of the glass bending device provided by the first aspect of the present disclosure, Figures 1 to 18 Describe the entire processing process of curved glass 500:

[0041] First, the glass 500 to be processed is placed in the glass preheating device 100 for preheating treatment;

[0042] Afterwards, when the preheating of the glass 500 is completed, the glass preheating device 100 is moved to the front of the glass forming device 200, and the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 of the glass preheating device 100 are simultaneously facing the forming opening 212 of the glass forming device 200. At this time, the first preheating sealing door 114, the second preheating sealing door 115 and the forming sealing door 213 are opened in sequence, and the preheated glass 500 is transferred from the glass preheating device 100 to the glass forming device 200 through the conveying translation module 410 and the adsorption assembly 420 in the glass conveying device 400;

[0043] Then, the glass conveying device 400 returns to the initial position not involved in conveying, and the glass preheating device 100 returns to the preheating start position. At the same time, the first preheating sealing door 114, the second preheating sealing door 115 and the molding sealing door 213 are closed respectively, and the glass 500 is subjected to hot bending molding in the glass molding device 200;

[0044] After that, after the glass 500 is bent and formed, the glass cooling device 300 is moved to the front of the glass forming device 200, and the first cooling opening 3121 and the second cooling opening 3122 of the glass cooling device 300 are simultaneously facing the forming opening 212 of the glass forming device 200. At this time, the first cooling sealing door 3131, the second cooling sealing door 3132 and the forming sealing door 213 are opened in sequence, and the conveying translation module 410 and the adsorption assembly 420 in the glass conveying device 400 transfer the bent and formed glass 500 from the glass forming device 200 to the glass cooling device 300.

[0045] Then, the glass conveying device 400 returns to the initial position not involved in the conveying, and the glass cooling device 300 returns to the cooling start position. At the same time, the first cooling sealing door 3131, the second cooling sealing door 3132 and the molding sealing door 213 are closed respectively, and the glass 500 is cooled in the glass cooling device 300.

[0046] Thus, through the cooperation of the glass preheating device 100, the glass forming device 200, the glass cooling device 300 and the glass conveying device 400, the basic operations required for the hot bending process of the curved glass 500 are completed.

[0047] The above is the core technical solution based on the basic concept of the present disclosure.

[0048] In addition, without violating the spirit of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned glass preheating device 100, glass forming device 200, glass cooling device 300 and glass conveying device 400 can be configured in any suitable manner. Of course, other devices, modules, mechanisms, components or structures that have a positive effect on the above-mentioned core technical solutions can also be introduced, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

Through such an arrangement, after the glass 500 completes the processing of each process, the glass preheating device 100 or the glass cooling device 300 is moved along the first direction in combination with the operation of the glass conveying device 400, so that the glass 500 can be transferred from the previous process to the next process, and the processing can be continued in the next process, so as to realize the continuous production of the curved glass 500 during the processing. Here, the first direction refers to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.12 as well as Fig.14 The left and right direction in .

Figure 1As shown, the glass preheating device 100 and the glass cooling device 300 are arranged between the glass forming device 200 and the glass handling device 400, and the preheating translation guide rail 122 and the cooling translation guide rail 362 are in the same line. Through such an arrangement, the glass preheating device 100 and the glass cooling device 300 can be slid and moved alternately to the corresponding position of the glass forming device 200 through their respective preheating translation guide rails 122 according to the processing needs of the glass 500, so as to facilitate the glass handling device 400 to transfer the preheated glass 500 to the glass forming device 200 or to transfer the hot-bending glass 500 to the glass cooling device 300. Among them, the preheating translation module 120 and the cooling translation module 360 ​​can adopt the existing screw module structure or any suitable structure, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, the glass handling device 400 includes a handling translation module 410 and an adsorption assembly 420. The handling translation module 410 includes a handling module driving device, a handling translation slide 411 and a handling translation guide rail 412. The handling translation guide rail 412 extends along the second direction and is fixedly installed on the mounting platform 272. The adsorption assembly 420 is movably arranged on the handling module slide. The handling module driving device drives the handling translation slide 411 to move on the handling translation guide rail 412. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, corresponding to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.12 In the front-to-back direction, through such an arrangement, when the glass 500 is preheated in the preheating box 110, the preheating box 110 can be moved to the front of the molding box 210 through the preheating translation module 120, and then the first preheating sealing door 114, the second preheating sealing door 115 and the molding sealing door 213 are opened in sequence, and the transport module driving device drives the transport translation slide 411 to move to a suitable position relative to the transport translation guide rail 412 toward the molding box 210, and then cooperates with the adsorption component 420 to transfer the glass 500 from the preheating box 110 to the molding box 210. Similarly, the transfer of the glass 500 between the molding box 210 and the cooling box 310 is also the same, and in order to save space, the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0052] In some embodiments provided in the first aspect of the present disclosure, the glass hot bending equipment includes a control device, which is electrically connected to a preheating module drive device, a cooling module drive device, and a conveying module drive device. Here, the preheating module drive device, the cooling module drive device, and the conveying module drive device are controlled by the control device to operate according to the processing requirements of the glass 500. For example, when the preheated glass 500 needs to be transferred from the preheating box 110 to the forming box 210, the control device can first control the preheating module drive device to drive the preheating translation slide 121 to move toward the forming box 210 on the preheating translation guide rail 122.

[0053] It should be noted that, since graphite is easy to machine and has good thermal conductivity, it can not only be used to make high-precision molds of various shapes, but also the molds can transfer heat evenly during operation. Therefore, all molds in the present disclosure are made of graphite.

[0054] The glass preheating device 100 provided in the second aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Glass preheating device

[0056] According to a specific embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, a glass preheating device 100 for a glass bending device is provided, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the glass preheating device 100 comprises: a preheating mechanism 190; a preheating box 110, wherein a preheating chamber 111 is formed inside the preheating box 110, and the preheating mechanism 190 is arranged in the preheating chamber 111, and the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 communicating with the preheating chamber 111 are respectively opened on the opposite side walls of the preheating box 110, and the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 are respectively provided with a first preheating sealing door 114 and a second preheating sealing door 115; and a preheating translation module 120, including a preheating The preheating box 110 is fixed on the preheating sliding table 121, and the preheating sliding table 121 has an initial position and a working position; in the initial position, the preheating box 110 avoids the glass forming device, the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 are both closed, and the preheating mechanism 190 preheats the glass in the preheating chamber 111; in the working position, the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 are simultaneously facing the forming sealing door of the glass forming device, and the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 are opened in sequence.

[0057] By respectively arranging the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 opened on two opposite side walls of the preheating box 110 with the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115, and arranging the preheating box 110 on the preheating translation slide 121 of the preheating translation module 120, it is achieved that when the glass preheating device 100 is installed at a suitable position of the glass forming device 200, the preheating box 110 can avoid the glass forming device 200 or be located in front of the glass forming device 200 through the movement of the preheating translation slide 121. In this way, in the preheating chamber 111 When the glass on the preheating mechanism 190 in the preheating chamber needs to be transferred to the glass forming device 200 after preheating, the preheating chamber 110 can be moved to the front of the glass forming device 200, and the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 can simultaneously face the forming sealing door 213 of the glass forming device 200. At this time, the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 are opened successively and the glass handling device is used to operate the glass, so that the preheated glass on the preheating mechanism 190 can be taken out from the preheating chamber 110, and then placed in the glass forming device 200 to start the next process. After the transfer of the preheated glass in the preheating chamber 110 is completed, the preheating chamber 110 can be moved to a position where the preheating chamber 110 avoids the glass forming device 200 through the preheating translation slide 121. At this time, the glass to be preheated can be placed on the preheating mechanism 190 in the preheating chamber 111 with the cooperation of a robot or manual labor for the next round of preheating processing. In the above process, due to the improvement of the structure of the glass preheating device 100, the distance of the glass after preheating from the preheating box 110 to the glass forming device 200 is greatly shortened, thereby greatly reducing the heat dissipated by the glass during the transfer between the two stations of preheating and forming. In addition, after the glass transfer is completed, the preheating translation slide 121 will switch from the working position to the initial position, that is, the preheating box 110 will move to a position to avoid the glass forming device 200, so that not only the preheating box 110 can smoothly carry out the next round of glass preheating work, but also because the preheating box 110 in this position will not block the forming sealing door 213 of the glass forming device 200, it will not interfere with the transfer operation of the glass that has completed the hot bending from the glass forming device 200 to the subsequent glass cooling device.

[0058] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2As shown, in order to facilitate the opening and closing operations of the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115, the glass preheating device 100 also includes a first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and a second preheating lifting cylinder 140. The first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 are respectively connected to the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140, so that the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 respectively drive the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 to switch between the open position and the closed position. Here, the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 can be set to be connected to the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115 from the top or bottom, or the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 can be set to be connected to the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115 from one side of the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115. The specific settings can be flexibly based on actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this. By way of example, in the present disclosure, in order to utilize the space as reasonably as possible to reduce the floor space and avoid the influence of the setting of the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 on other equipment, the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 can be arranged to be connected to the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115 from above, so as to drive the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 to realize the closing and opening operations of the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 through the up and down movements.

[0059] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 and the first preheating sealing door 114 and the connection between the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 and the second preheating sealing door 115, the glass preheating device 100 also includes a first lifting structure 150 and a second lifting structure 160. The first preheating lifting cylinder 130 is fixed at the top of the preheating box 110 and the output end of the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 is connected to the first preheating sealing door 114 through the first lifting structure 150; the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 is fixed at the top of the preheating box 110 and the output end of the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 is connected to the second preheating sealing door 115 through the second lifting structure 160.

[0060] The first lifting structure 150 and the second lifting structure 160 may be constructed in any suitable manner. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first lifting structure 150 includes a first lifting plate 151 and a first connecting rod 152, the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 is arranged between the preheating box 110 and the first lifting plate 151, and the output end of the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 is connected to the first lifting plate 151, one end of the first connecting rod 152 is fixed on the first lifting plate 151, and the other end passes through the preheating box 110 and extends into the preheating chamber 111 to be connected to the first preheating sealing door 114. Here, in order to achieve reliable lifting of the first preheating sealing door 114, so that the first preheating sealing door 114 can be flexibly switched between a closed position blocking the first preheating opening 112 and an open position avoiding the first preheating opening 112, the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 can be set on the preheating box 110, and the output end of the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 can roughly correspond to a suitable position in the middle of the first preheating sealing door 114, and then combined with the first connecting rod 152 arranged on the first preheating sealing door 114, the first preheating sealing door 114 is connected to the first lifting plate 151, thereby achieving reliable and smooth lifting of the first preheating sealing door 114. Furthermore, the second lifting structure 160 includes a second lifting plate 161 and a second connecting rod 162, the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 is arranged between the preheating box 110 and the second lifting plate 161, and the output end of the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 is connected to the second lifting plate 161, one end of the second connecting rod 162 is fixed on the second lifting plate 161, and the other end passes through the preheating box 110 and extends into the preheating chamber 111 to connect with the second preheating sealing door 115. Similarly, the connection method of the second preheating lifting cylinder 140 with the second preheating sealing door 115 through the second lifting plate 161 and the second connecting rod 162 is also similar to the connection method of the first preheating lifting cylinder 130 with the first preheating sealing door 114 through the first lifting plate 151 and the first connecting rod 152, and the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0061] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, when the number of at least one of the first connecting rod 152 and the second connecting rod 162 is plural, their arrangement may have at least the following three possible embodiments:

[0062] In a first possible implementation manner, there are a plurality of first connecting rods 152 , and the plurality of first connecting rods 152 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first preheating sealing door 114 .

[0063] In a second possible implementation manner, there are a plurality of second connecting rods 162 , and the plurality of second connecting rods 162 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second preheating sealing door 115 .

[0064] In a third possible embodiment, there are multiple first connecting rods 152, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first preheating sealing door 114, and there are multiple second connecting rods 162, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second preheating sealing door 115.

[0065] In the above three possible embodiments, by arranging multiple first connecting rods 152 or multiple second connecting rods 162 at intervals along the length direction of the corresponding sealing door, the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115 can be evenly stressed during the lifting process, thereby further achieving smooth and reliable lifting of the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115.

[0066] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 as well as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in order to guide the first preheating sealing door 114 and the second preheating sealing door 115 to fall to a suitable position where they can block the first preheating opening 112 or the second preheating opening 113, and at the same time, enable the first preheating sealing door 114 or the second preheating sealing door 115 to well seal the first preheating opening 112 or the second preheating opening 113 to avoid leakage of the atmosphere in the preheating chamber 111 and oxidation of the preheating mold 192, the glass preheating device 100 may further include a first sealing guide 170 and a second sealing guide 180 which are arranged in pairs inside the preheating chamber 111 and fixed on opposite side walls of the preheating box body 110. The paired first sealing guides 170 are used to guide the first preheating sealing door 114 to block and seal the first preheating opening 112, and the paired second sealing guides 180 are used to guide the second preheating sealing door 115 to block and seal the second preheating opening 113.

[0067] In the specific embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the first sealing guide 170 can be constructed in any suitable manner. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first sealing guide 170 is constructed as a first L-shaped block 171, and a first mounting protrusion 1141 matched with the first L-shaped block 171 is formed on the first preheating sealing door 114. The first preheating sealing door 114 is inserted in the first L-shaped block 171 through the first mounting protrusion 1141. Through such a configuration, the first preheating sealing door 114 can be guided to smoothly fall through the guide groove formed by the first L-shaped block 171 to a suitable position for blocking the first preheating opening 112. At the same time, since the first mounting protrusion 1141 formed on the first preheating sealing door 114 is matched with the first L-shaped block 171, that is, the first mounting protrusion 1141 on the first preheating sealing door 114 can be just engaged in the first L-shaped block 171, so that a good seal for the first preheating opening 112 can also be achieved.

[0068] Likewise, the second sealing guide 180 may also be configured in any suitable manner. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second sealing guide 180 is constructed as a second L-shaped block 181, and a second mounting protrusion 1151 matched with the second L-shaped block 181 is formed on the second preheating sealing door 115. The second preheating sealing door 115 is inserted in the second L-shaped block 181 through the second mounting protrusion 1151. Through such a setting, the second preheating sealing door 115 can be guided to smoothly fall through the guide groove formed by the second L-shaped block 181 to a suitable position for blocking the second preheating opening 113. At the same time, since the second mounting protrusion 1151 formed on the second preheating sealing door 115 is matched with the second L-shaped block 181, that is, the second mounting protrusion 1151 on the second preheating sealing door 115 can be just engaged in the second L-shaped block 181, so that a good seal for the second preheating opening 113 can also be achieved.

[0069] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the first L-shaped block 171 and the second L-shaped block 181 are both configured as gradually expanding L-shaped blocks with gradually increasing cross-sectional dimensions from top to bottom, and the first mounting protrusion 1141 and the second mounting protrusion 1151 are both configured as gradually contracting mounting protrusions with gradually decreasing cross-sectional dimensions from top to bottom, wherein the gradually expanding rate of the first L-shaped block 171 matches the gradually contracting rate of the first mounting protrusion 1141, and the gradually expanding rate of the second L-shaped block 181 matches the gradually contracting rate of the second mounting protrusion 1151. By such an arrangement, the first L-shaped block 171 can be made to be gradually contracted. A preheating sealing door 114 is just engaged in the first L-shaped block 171 through the first mounting protrusion 1141, and since the cross-sectional dimensions of the first L-shaped block 171 and the first mounting protrusion 1141 are gradually changed and the change rate between the two is synchronized, the side walls of the first mounting protrusion 1141 and the first L-shaped block 171 that cooperate with each other can be completely fitted, thereby helping to further improve the sealing effect of the first preheating opening 112 by the cooperation of the first L-shaped block 171 and the first mounting protrusion 1141. Similarly, the second preheating sealing door 115 improves the sealing effect of the second preheating opening 113 after cooperating with the second L-shaped block 181 through the second mounting protrusion 1151, and the disclosure will not repeat it here.

[0070] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3As shown, the preheating translation module 120 also includes a preheating translation guide rail 122 and a preheating module driving device. The preheating translation guide rail 122 extends along the moving direction of the preheating box 110. The preheating module driving device drives the preheating translation slide 121 to slide on the preheating translation guide rail 122. Through such an arrangement, the preheating box 110 can be smoothly moved relative to the preheating translation guide rail 122 through the preheating translation slide 121, so as to ensure the accuracy of the glass preheating device 100 during operation.

[0071] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, the preheating mechanism 190 includes a preheating heating plate 191 and a preheating mold 192. The preheating heating plate 191 is located in the preheating chamber 111 and fixed to the bottom of the preheating box 110. A preheating heating tube 1911 is arranged inside the preheating heating plate 191. The preheating mold 192 is arranged on the preheating heating plate 191, and the preheating mold 192 is used to place the glass to be preheated. The preheating heating tube 1911 preheats the glass placed on the preheating mold 192 through the preheating heating plate 191. Here, in order to simplify the structure of the preheating mechanism 190, the preheating heating plate 191 can also be omitted, and the preheating heating tube 1911 can be directly arranged in the preheating mold 192, so that the preheating mold 192 can be directly heated by the temperature rise of the preheating heating tube 1911, and then the heat is transferred to the glass placed on the preheating mold 192 through the preheating mold 192 to achieve preheating of the glass. Among them, the preheating heating tube 1911 can be an electric heating tube, and the preheating mold 192 can be a graphite mold.

[0072] When using, refer to Figures 2 to 6As shown, when the glass needs to be preheated, the preheating translation slide 121 is moved to the initial position. At the same time, the preheating box 110 is also moved to a position to avoid the glass forming device 200. At this time, the first preheating sealing door 114 is driven to rise to the first preheating opening 112 and open by controlling the first preheating lifting cylinder 130, and then the prepared glass is placed on the preheating mold 192 in the preheating chamber 111 by a robot or a human hand. After that, the first preheating sealing door 114 is lowered to the first preheating opening 112 and closed by the first preheating lifting cylinder 130, and then the preheating heating tube 1911 is turned on to heat until the glass reaches the preheating temperature, and then the preheating box 110 is moved to the first preheating opening 112 and closed by the preheating lifting cylinder 130. 10 is moved until the first preheating opening 112 and the second preheating opening 113 of the preheating box 110 are simultaneously facing the molding sealing door 213 of the glass forming device 200, and then the first preheating sealing door 114 is opened first, and then the preheated glass is sucked by the glass handling device. At the same time, the second preheating sealing door 115 and the molding sealing door 213 are opened, and the sucked glass is placed in the glass forming device 200 by the glass handling device, and then the molding sealing door 213, the second preheating sealing door 115 and the first preheating sealing door 114 are closed in sequence, and then the preheating box 110 is moved to a position avoiding the glass forming device 200 by the preheating translation slide 121 to start the next round of glass preheating processing.

[0073] The glass forming device 200 provided in the third aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Glass forming device

[0075] According to a specific embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure, a glass forming device 200 of a glass bending device is provided, referring to Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the glass forming device 200 includes: a forming box 210, in which a forming chamber 211 is formed, the forming box 210 is provided with a forming opening 212 connected to the inside of the forming chamber 211, and a forming sealing door 213 is movably provided at the forming opening 212; and a forming mold 220, which is arranged in the forming chamber 211 and includes a positioning mold 221 and a hot bending mold 222, the positioning mold 221 has a first temperature and includes a first positioning mold 2211 and a second positioning mold 2212 with opposite working surfaces, the hot bending mold 222 has a second temperature and includes a first hot bending mold 2221 and a second hot bending mold 2222 with opposite molding surfaces, the first positioning mold 2211 is used to press and hold the plane part of the glass 500 on the second positioning mold 2212, so that the first hot bending mold 2221 and the second hot bending mold 2222 can be used to heat the hot bending part of the glass 500 and drive the hot bending part to undergo hot bending deformation relative to the plane part, wherein the first temperature is lower than the second temperature.

[0076] Through the above technical scheme, in the glass forming device 200 provided by the present invention, a forming box 210 and a forming mold 220 are set, a forming chamber 211 is formed inside the forming box 210, a forming opening 212 connected to the inside of the forming chamber 211 is opened on the forming box 210, and a forming sealing door 213 is movably set at the forming opening 212, so as to realize that the glass 500 to be hot-bent is placed into the forming mold 220 in the forming chamber 211 through the forming opening 212, the forming opening 212 is blocked by the forming sealing door 213, and finally the glass 500 placed in the forming chamber 211 is hot-bent by the forming mold 220. By arranging a positioning mold 221 and a hot bending mold 222 with different temperatures in a molding chamber 211 formed in a molding box 210, and making the positioning mold 221 include a first positioning mold 2211 and a second positioning mold 2212 with opposite working surfaces, and the hot bending mold 222 include a first hot bending mold 2221 and a second hot bending mold 2222 with opposite molding surfaces, it is achieved that when the glass 500 is hot-bending, first the first positioning mold 2211 and the second positioning mold 2212 with opposite working surfaces are used to press and position the planar part of the glass 500, and then the hot bending part of the glass 500 is heated by the hot bending mold 222 with the second temperature so that this part of the glass 500 gradually reaches the hot bending temperature, and finally the first hot bending mold 2221 and the second hot bending mold 2222 are combined to make the glass 500 at the hot bending part bend and deform relative to the glass 500 at the planar part. In the above process, since the positioning mold 221 has a first temperature, the positioning mold 221 can also give a certain temperature to the flat part of the glass 500 while pressing and positioning the flat part of the glass 500, so as to avoid the temperature difference between the flat part of the glass 500 and the part of the glass 500 in the hot bending part that needs to be hot-bent and formed later, which may cause the change of the physical properties of the glass 500, or even cause the glass 500 to burst. In addition, since the heating temperatures used for different areas of the glass 500 in the hot bending forming are different, that is, the first temperature of the positioning mold 221 corresponding to the flat part of the non-hot bending forming area is lower than the second temperature of the hot bending mold 222 corresponding to the hot bending part of the hot bending forming area, under the premise of ensuring that the temperature difference between the non-hot bending area and the hot bending area of ​​the glass 500 will not affect the performance of the glass 500, the positioning mold 221 corresponding to the non-hot bending area can be heated to a lower temperature, thereby reducing the heat energy consumption of the glass 500 in the hot bending forming process.

[0077] It should be noted that the working surface of the molding mold 220 disclosed in the present invention, that is, the surface of the molding mold 220 that contacts the glass 500, has a surface shape set according to the shape of the glass 500 to be hot-bent. When it is necessary to hot-bend glass 500 of different shapes, different molding molds 220 can be replaced accordingly.

[0078] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the glass forming device 200 also includes a positioning lifting mechanism 230 and a hot bending lifting mechanism 240. The positioning lifting mechanism 230 includes a first positioning lifting mechanism 231 and a second positioning lifting mechanism 232 which are respectively fixed on the top and bottom of the forming box 210. The first positioning lifting mechanism 231 passes through the top of the forming box 210 and is connected to the first positioning mold 2211 to drive the first positioning mold 2211 to be lifted and lowered. The second positioning lifting mechanism 232 passes through the bottom of the forming box 210 and is connected to the second positioning mold 2212 to drive the second positioning mold 2212 to be lifted and lowered. Through such a setting, independent control of the first positioning mold 2211 and the second positioning mold 2212 can be achieved. In this way, when it is necessary to place the glass 500 on the positioning mold 221, the first positioning mold 2211 can be controlled to be lifted and lowered as required through the first positioning lifting mechanism 231. Furthermore, since the second positioning mold 2212 is provided with a second positioning lifting mechanism 232 capable of controlling the lifting of the second positioning mold 2212 , the placement height of the glass 500 in the molding chamber 211 can be adjusted by controlling the lifting of the second positioning mold 2212 by the second positioning lifting mechanism 232 . In addition, the hot bending lifting mechanism 240 includes a first hot bending lifting mechanism 241 and a second hot bending lifting mechanism 242 which are respectively fixed on the top and bottom of the forming box 210. The first hot bending lifting mechanism 241 passes through the top of the forming box 210 and is connected to the first hot bending mold 2221 to drive the first hot bending mold 2221 to be lifted and lowered. The second hot bending lifting mechanism 242 passes through the bottom of the forming box 210 and is connected to the second hot bending mold 2222 to drive the second hot bending mold 2222 to be lifted and lowered. Through such a setting, not only can the hot bending part of the glass 500 be hot bent and deformed relative to the planar part of the glass 500, but also because the positioning mold 221 and the hot bending mold 222 are independently controlled by their respective corresponding lifting mechanisms, the relative position change between each mold can be controlled by adjusting the lifting amplitude of each lifting mechanism, thereby realizing the hot bending forming of glass 500 with different curvatures.

Then, the first positioning lifting mechanism 231 drives the first positioning mold 2211 to descend to the plane of the glass 500 and presses and holds it on the second positioning mold 2212.

[0113] The glass cooling device 300 provided in the fourth aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0114] Glass cooling device

[0115] According to a specific embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a glass cooling device 300 of a glass bending device is provided, referring to Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, the glass cooling device 300 includes: a cooling box 310, in which a cooling chamber 311 is formed, a cooling opening 312 connected to the interior of the cooling chamber 311 is opened on the side wall of the cooling box 310, and a cooling sealing door 313 is movably provided at the cooling opening 312; and a cooling mold 320, the cooling mold 320 is located in the cooling chamber 311 and is used to cool the glass 500, and the cooling mold 320 is provided with a pre-heating element 330 for slowly cooling the glass 500.

[0116] According to the above technical solution, in the glass cooling device 300 provided by the present disclosure, a cooling box 310 and a cooling mold 320 are provided, and a cooling chamber 311 is formed in the cooling box 310, a cooling opening 312 communicating with the interior of the cooling chamber 311 is opened on the side wall of the cooling box 310, and a cooling sealing door 313 is movably provided at the cooling opening 312, so that the cooling opening 312 can be opened by moving the cooling sealing door 313, and then the glass 500 is placed into the cooling chamber 311 through the opened cooling opening 312. 1 is subjected to a cooling treatment on the cooling mold 320 in the glass 500; by arranging a preheating element 330 on the cooling mold 320 for slowly cooling the glass 500, the glass 500 can continue to be in a certain high temperature environment before entering the cooling chamber 311 for cooling, so as to avoid bursting due to rapid cooling. At the same time, since the preheating element 330 has a simple structure and occupies a small space, the glass cooling device 300 provided by the present disclosure can avoid rapid cooling of the glass 500 while making the overall structure of the glass cooling device 300 as compact as possible.

[0117] In the specific implementation provided by the present disclosure, in order to make the structure of the pre-heating element 330 simple and easy to implement, the pre-heating element 330 of the present disclosure may have at least the following two possible implementations:

[0118] In a first possible implementation, reference Fig.15 As shown, the preheating element 330 includes a preheating plate 331 arranged on the cooling mold 320 and a plurality of first preheating tubes 332 located inside the preheating plate 331 and electrically connected to an external power supply. Here, the plurality of first preheating tubes 332 arranged inside the preheating plate 331 are heated by electric heating, and then the heat is transferred to the glass 500 through the preheating plate 331 and the cooling mold 320, so that the glass 500 just placed on the cooling mold 320 can continue to maintain a certain high temperature to avoid cracking due to rapid cooling.

[0119] In a second possible implementation, refer to Fig.16As shown, in order to further simplify the structure of the preheating element 330 while improving the heating effect of the preheating element 330, the preheating element 330 can be constructed as a plurality of second preheating tubes 333 arranged inside the cooling mold 320, and the plurality of second preheating tubes 333 are electrically connected to an external power supply. Here, the plurality of second preheating tubes 333 are turned on by electric heating, and then the heat of the plurality of second preheating tubes 333 is transferred to the glass 500 through the cooling mold 320 by heat conduction. In this way, the glass 500 just placed on the cooling mold 320 can continue to maintain a certain high temperature, thereby preventing the glass 500 from bursting due to rapid cooling.

[0120] In the above two embodiments, the number of the first preheating tubes 332 or the second preheating tubes 333 that are opened can be flexibly controlled according to the heating temperature required for the glass 500. In addition, multiple first preheating tubes 332 or multiple second preheating tubes 333 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner of series and parallel, and the number of the first preheating tubes 332 or the second preheating tubes 333 can also be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0121] In the specific implementation provided by the present disclosure, when the glass 500 enters the cooling process after being hot-bent, in order to prevent the glass 500 from being rapidly cooled and cracked, the heating temperature of the preheating element 330 can be set to 300° C.-400° C. Here, the heating temperature can be 300° C., 320° C., 340° C., 360° C., 380° C. or 400° C., or any value between these temperatures, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0122] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.12 As shown, in order to achieve cooling of the glass 500, the glass cooling device 300 also includes a cooling water bag 340 arranged on the pre-heating component 330, and circulating cooling water for cooling the glass 500 is passed into the cooling water bag 340. In this way, on the one hand, the heat of the glass 500 can be continuously taken away during the circulation of the cooling water, so that the glass 500 is gradually cooled down and finally the cooling requirement of the glass 500 is met. On the other hand, the method of passing cooling circulating water into the cooling water bag 340 is easy to implement and low-cost.

[0123] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, the glass cooling device 300 also includes a cooling lifting mechanism 350 fixed on the top of the cooling box 310, and the cooling mold 320 includes a first cooling mold 321 and a second cooling mold 322 that cooperate with each other. The cooling lifting mechanism 350 passes through the top of the cooling box 310 and is connected to the first cooling mold 321 to drive the first cooling mold 321 to rise and fall. The second cooling mold 322 is fixed at the bottom of the cooling chamber 311. Through such a setting, flexible control of the lifting and lowering of the first cooling mold 321 can be achieved. In this way, when the glass 500 needs to be placed on the cooling mold 320, the cooling lifting mechanism 350 is first used to control the first cooling mold 321 to rise. After the glass 500 is placed on the cooling mold 320, the cooling lifting mechanism 350 is used to control the first cooling mold 321 to descend until the first cooling mold 321 and the second cooling mold 322 cooperate to cool the glass 500.

[0124] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.12 As shown, the first cooling mold 321 includes a plurality of first sub-cooling molds 3211 which are used to be assembled with each other along the length direction of the glass 500. Each first sub-cooling mold 3211 is connected to a cooling lifting mechanism 350. Through such a setting, the weight of the first cooling mold 321 can be dispersed to multiple cooling lifting mechanisms 350 during the movement, so that each cooling lifting mechanism 350 can be accurately positioned when driving the first sub-cooling mold 3211 to be pressed down, so as to ensure the final molding quality of the glass 500.

[0125] In order to make the glass 500 evenly cooled at all places, a first cooling mold 321 and a second cooling mold 322 may be provided, which are respectively configured as a first profiling mold and a second profiling mold adapted to the shape of the glass 500 for hot bending. Exemplarily, the first profiling mold and the second profiling mold in the present disclosure are profiling molds used in conjunction with the cooling process of V-shaped glass. In addition, since the electric cylinder is not only simple and convenient to operate, but also has high speed control accuracy and can achieve continuous speed adjustment, the cooling lifting mechanism 350 may be constructed as an electric cylinder, and the output end of the electric cylinder is connected to the first profiling mold through the cooling box 310, thereby achieving precise control of the first profiling mold during the lifting process.

[0126] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 12 to Figure 14As shown, the cooling opening 312 includes a first cooling opening 3121 and a second cooling opening 3122 which are opened on the side wall of the cooling box 310 and are opposite to each other, and the first cooling opening 3121 and the second cooling opening 3122 are respectively provided with a first cooling sealing door 3131 and a second cooling sealing door 3132. Through such a setting, when the glass cooling device 300 is moved to the front of the glass forming device 200, the first cooling sealing door 3131 and the second cooling sealing door 3132 are opened at the same time to move the glass 500 in the glass forming device 200 into the glass cooling device 300 through a handling tool. In addition, the glass cooling device 300 also includes a cooling translation module 360, which includes a cooling module driving device, a cooling translation slide 361 and a cooling translation guide rail 362. The cooling box 310 is fixed on the cooling translation slide 361, and the cooling module driving device drives the cooling translation slide 361 to move on the cooling translation guide rail 362 so that the cooling translation slide 361 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the cooling box 310 moves to the first cooling sealed door 3131 and the second cooling sealed door 3132 to face the molding sealed door 213 of the glass molding device 200 at the same time, and the first cooling sealed door 3131 and the second cooling sealed door 3132 are opened in sequence; in the second position, the cooling box 310 is used to avoid the molding sealed door 213, and the first cooling sealed door 3131 and the second cooling sealed door 3132 are both closed, and the cooling mold 320 cools the glass 500 in the cooling chamber 311. Through such a setting, the cooling translation module 360 ​​can be used to move the cooling box 310 to a corresponding position according to the processing requirements of the glass 500, that is, when the glass 500 needs to enter the cooling process, the cooling translation module 3 60 moves the cooling box 310 so that the first cooling sealed door 3131 and the second cooling sealed door 3132 are facing the molding sealed door 213 of the glass molding device 200 at the same time, and then opens the first cooling sealed door 3131, the second cooling sealed door 3132 and the molding sealed door 213, and then cooperates with the handling tool to take the glass 500 out of the glass molding device 200 and put it into the cooling box 310 for cooling treatment; when the glass 500 enters the cooling process, use the cooling translation module 360 ​​to move the cooling box 310 to the cooling box 310 to avoid the molding sealed door 213 of the glass molding device 200. At this time, since the cooling box 310 is far away from the glass molding device 200, it will not interfere with other operations of the glass molding device 200.

[0127] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, in order to realize the movable operation of the first cooling sealing door 3131 and the second cooling sealing door 3132, the glass cooling device 300 can be set to also include a first cooling lifting cylinder 370 and a second cooling lifting cylinder 380 fixed on the top of the cooling box 310, and the output end of the first cooling lifting cylinder 370 is connected to the first cooling sealing door 3131, and the output end of the second cooling lifting cylinder 380 is connected to the second cooling sealing door 3132.

[0128] Based on the above scheme, the present disclosure also provides a glass hot bending device, which includes a mounting platform 272, a glass forming device 200 and the aforementioned glass cooling device 300, the glass forming device 200 is fixedly arranged on the mounting platform 272, and the glass cooling device 300 is located on one side of the glass forming device 200 and is movably arranged on the mounting platform 272 along a first direction.

[0129] The following will describe the use process of the glass cooling device 300 disclosed in the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0130] When the glass 500 needs to enter the cooling process, refer to Figure 12 to Figure 14 , the cooling box 310 is moved to a suitable position of the glass forming device 200 through the cooling translation module 360, and at the same time, the pre-heating component 330 is turned on to heat the first cooling mold 321 and the second cooling mold 322 to a suitable temperature, and then the pre-heating component 330 is closed and the first cooling sealing door 3131 and the second cooling sealing door 3132 are opened, and then the glass 500 is taken out of the glass forming device 200 with the help of the handling tool and placed on the second cooling mold 322 in the cooling box 310, and then the multiple first sub-cooling molds 3211 are controlled to descend at the same time, and the multiple first sub-cooling molds 3211 cooperate with the second cooling mold 322 to cool the glass 500, and then the first cooling sealing door 3131 and the second cooling sealing door 3132 are closed, and the cooling box 310 is moved to a position to avoid the glass forming device 200 through the cooling translation module 360.

[0131] The glass handling device 400 provided in the fifth aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0132] Glass handling device

[0133] According to a specific embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present disclosure, a glass handling device 400 of a glass bending device is provided, referring to Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown in the figure, the glass handling device 400 includes: a handling and translational module 410, which includes a handling module driving device, a handling and translational slide 411 and a handling and translational guide rail 412, the handling and translational guide rail 412 is used to extend along the handling direction of the glass 500, and the handling module driving device drives the handling and translational slide 411 to move on the handling and translational guide rail 412; and an adsorption component 420, the adsorption component 420 includes a suction cup 421 and a mounting seat 422, the mounting seat 422 is liftably arranged on the handling and translational slide 411, and the suction cup 421 is fixed on the mounting seat 422 and is connected to an external air source.

[0134] Through the above technical solution, in the glass handling device 400 provided by the present disclosure, when the glass 500 needs to be transported, the handling module driving device drives the handling translation slide 411 to move along the handling direction of the glass 500 on the handling translation guide rail 412, and at the same time, the adsorption component 420 moves with the handling translation slide 411 until the adsorption component 420 moves to a suitable position, and then the glass 500 can be transported by the coordination of the lifting operation of the mounting seat 422 and the adsorption operation of the suction cup 421. In the above process, since the handling translation module 410 itself operates stably and at a high speed, the transportation efficiency of the glass 500 can be improved, and the influence on the molding quality of the glass 500 caused by the long opening time of the sealed doors of each station during the transportation process can be avoided.

[0135] In the specific implementations provided in the present disclosure, the number of suction cups 421 and the arrangement of suction cups 421 can be arranged in any suitable manner. Optionally, the number of suction cups 421 and the arrangement of suction cups 421 can have at least the following two possible implementations:

[0136] In a first possible implementation manner, the suction cups 421 include a plurality of suction cups 421 , and the plurality of suction cups 421 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the glass 500 , wherein the length direction of the glass 500 is perpendicular to the transport direction.

[0137] In a second possible implementation, the suction cups 421 include multiple rows, and the multiple rows of suction cups 421 are used to be arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the glass 500, and each row of suction cups 421 includes multiple suction cups 421, and the multiple suction cups 421 are used to be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the glass 500, wherein the length direction of the glass 500 is perpendicular to the conveying direction. Fig.18 As shown, the suction cups 421 include two rows in total, and four suction cups 421 are evenly arranged in each row.

[0138] In both of the above two possible implementations, the suction effect of the suction cups 421 on the glass 500 is increased by increasing the number of suction cups 421, so that the glass 500 can be firmly adsorbed on the suction cups 421 during the transfer process. In addition, compared with the first implementation, the second implementation increases the suction effect of the suction cups 421 on the glass 500 in the width direction of the glass 500 by arranging multiple rows of suction cups 421 at intervals along the conveying direction of the glass 500, thereby further ensuring that the glass 500 can be reliably adsorbed by the suction cups 421 during the transfer process.

[0139] Among them, since the silicone suction cup has a higher operating temperature range and is easy to clean, non-deformed and has a long service life, the suction cup 421 in the glass handling device 400 can be constructed as a vacuum suction cup, and the vacuum suction cup is a silicone suction cup. In this way, not only the suction cup 421 has good adaptability, but also the overall life of the glass handling device 400 is improved.

[0140] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.18 As shown, in order to arrange a larger number of suction cups 421, and to arrange these suction cups 421 on the mounting seat 422 along the length direction corresponding to the glass 500, so that the suction cups 421 can firmly adsorb the glass 500 along the length direction, the length of the mounting seat 422 can be set to be smaller than the length of the glass 500 for adsorption. Here, the length of the mounting seat 422 can also be equal to or greater than the length of the glass 500 for adsorption, and its purpose is mainly to make the mounting seat 422 more suitable for the size of the glass 500 to be adsorbed, so as to ensure the final adsorption effect.

[0141] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.17 As shown, the glass handling device 400 also includes a handling and lifting mechanism 430, which is fixed on the handling and translation slide 411 of the handling and translation module 410, and the output end of the handling and lifting mechanism 430 is connected to the mounting seat 422. Through such a setting, the glass handling device 400 can realize movement along the height direction through the action of the handling and lifting mechanism 430, so that when cooperating with the adsorption component 420, the adsorption and handling operation of the glass 500 can be realized.

[0142] Among them, since the cylinder has a simple structure, is easy to install and maintain, and has low requirements for users, the transport and lifting mechanism 430 can be constructed as a transport and lifting cylinder 431, and the transport and lifting cylinder 431 is fixed on the transport and translation slide 411 of the transport and translation module 410 through the first connecting member 440, and the output end of the transport and lifting cylinder 431 is connected to the mounting seat 422 through the second connecting member 450.

[0143] In the specific embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Fig.17 As shown, the first connecting member 440 is constructed as a first connecting plate 441, and the second connecting member 450 is constructed as a second connecting plate 451, and the first connecting plate 441 and the second connecting plate 451 are both used to extend along the conveying direction of the glass 500. Through such a configuration, the adsorption component 420 can be closer to the glass 500 to be adsorbed, so that when the conveying translation slide 411 moves on the conveying translation guide rail 412, the adsorption component 420 can more easily contact the glass 500 to be adsorbed and can avoid other structures on the glass conveying device 400.

[0144] To further improve the stability of the glass handling device 400 during operation and to make the handling lifting mechanism 430 closer to the handling translation slide 411 , the extension length of the second connecting plate 451 can be set to be greater than the extension length of the first connecting plate 441 .

[0145] Based on the above scheme, the present disclosure also provides a glass bending device, which includes a mounting platform 272, a glass forming device 200 and the above-mentioned glass handling device 400, and the glass forming device 200 and the glass handling device 400 are relatively fixedly arranged on the mounting platform 272.

[0146] When using, refer to Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, first, the suction cup 421 is raised to a suitable height (the height is a suitable height to avoid the suction cup 421 from colliding with the glass 500) by the transport lifting mechanism 430, and then, the transport module driving device is turned on and the transport module driving device drives the transport translation slide 411 to move toward the glass 500 on the transport translation guide rail 412. At the same time, the transport translation slide 411 drives the suction cup 421 to move toward the glass 500, and the suction cup 421 stops moving when it moves to the top of the glass 500. At this time, the suction cup 421 is lowered by the transport lifting mechanism 430 until it contacts the surface of the glass 500, and then the suction cup 421 is lifted and lowered by the suction lifting mechanism 430. The plate 421 performs vacuum adsorption on the glass 500. After confirming that the glass 500 has been firmly adsorbed by the suction cup 421, the suction cup 421 is controlled to rise to a safe height through the transport and lifting mechanism 430 (the height at this time refers to a safe height at which the glass 500 will not collide with other structures during transportation). After that, the glass 500 is moved to the desired position through the transport translation module 410. The suction cup 421 is lowered through the transport and lifting mechanism 430 to the working plane where the surface of the glass 500 contacts the placement position, and then the vacuum is released to place the glass 500 at this position. Finally, the glass transport device 400 is controlled to return to its original position.
