Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of auxiliary devices for glass production, and in particular to a glass edge guiding and clamping device for a glass production line. Background Art

[0002] Glass is a common building material in daily life. It has good perspective function, good light transmission performance, and a relatively high transmittance to near-infrared heat rays in the sun. Generally speaking, glass can be divided into thin glass, thick glass, and extra-thick glass according to thickness; it can be divided into ordinary flat glass, embossed glass, polished glass, float glass, etc. according to the surface state. Flat glass can be made into products with different colors and various special properties through processes such as coloring, surface treatment, and lamination. Flat glass can also be called plate glass, which has good perspective function, good light transmission performance, and at the same time has sound insulation and certain heat insulation performance, and is widely used in daily use. Before use, flat glass needs to be ground at its edges and corners by a special grinding device. In the specific processing process, the flat glass to be processed is directly transported to the grinding mechanism by a conveying mechanism. However, the above method has the following problems:

[0003] 1. Driven by the conveying mechanism, the glass itself has a certain moving inertia, which easily causes direct collision contact between the glass and the grinding angle mechanism, resulting in collision damage to the edge (corner) of the glass (such as a glass sheet automatic conveying device with application number: CN202110055121.6, and a glass substrate conveying roller and its conveying device with application number: CN201320868098.3);

[0004] 2. In order to prevent collision damage and control the accuracy of the grinding feed amount, manual feed control by production workers is required between the conveying device and the grinding device to ensure the grinding quality of the glass edges and corners. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a glass edge guiding and clamping device for a glass production line, which can be integrally installed between the conveying device and the edge grinding device in a glass processing production line to guide, clamp and precisely feed control flat glass, thereby ensuring the processing quality of flat glass during corner processing and meeting the production and use requirements of enterprises; To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a glass edge guiding and clamping device for a glass production line, and its technical solution is as follows: A glass edge guiding and clamping device for a glass production line includes an installation housing, a left clamping and guiding part, a right clamping and guiding part, a left support frame and a right support frame. An installation cavity is provided in the installation housing. The left support frame is installed at the left part in the installation cavity and is integrally fixed to the installation housing.

A left clamping and guiding part for clamping and guiding the left edge of the glass is installed on the left support frame, and a right clamping and guiding part for clamping and guiding the right edge of the glass is installed on the right support frame. The left clamping and guiding part and the right clamping and guiding part cooperate to realize the contact guiding and clamping and feeding operations of the flat glass.

[0006] The left clamping and guiding part and the right clamping and guiding part have the same structure, and they are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides in the installation cavity of the installation housing.

[0029] As shown in the attached drawings of the specification of the present invention Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the guiding and clamping assembly 24 for guiding and clamping the glass edge includes a guiding component 241, a clamping component 242, and a mounting and bearing frame 243. Among them, the mounting and bearing frame 243 is used to mount and bear the guiding component 241 and the clamping component 242. One side of the mounting and bearing frame 243 is installed on the moving nut 234 and fixedly connected to the moving nut 234. A guiding component 241 and a clamping component 242 for guiding and clamping the glass edge are installed on the upper part of the mounting and bearing frame 243. The guiding component 241 is used to guide the glass edge, and the clamping component 242 is used to clamp the glass edge. The guiding component 241 and the clamping component 242 are installed inside the mounting and bearing frame 243. In the free state, the guiding component 241 needs to protrude from the clamping component 242 to achieve the prior guiding effect on the glass edge.

[0030] As shown in the attached drawings of the specification of the present invention Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the guiding component 241 for guiding and conveying the glass edge includes a guiding roller 2411, a roller mounting shaft 2412, a roller mounting frame 2413, and a buffer spring 2414. Among them, the guiding roller 2411 is fixedly installed on the roller mounting shaft 2412. Both ends of the roller mounting shaft 2412 are installed on the roller mounting frame 2413 through bearings. The roller mounting frame 2413 is connected to the mounting and bearing frame 243 through the buffer spring 2414. In the free state, the buffer spring 2414 can push the roller mounting frame 2413 to make the guiding roller 2411 on the roller mounting frame 2413 protrude from the clamping component 242 to achieve the prior guiding effect of the guiding roller 2411 on the glass edge.

[0031] As shown in the attached drawings of the specification of the present invention Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly 242 for clamping the glass edge includes a clamping block 2421 and a clamping carrier seat 2422. The clamping carrier seat 2422 is installed on the installation carrier frame 243 through fastening bolts. Among them, a clamping block 2421 for clamping the glass edge is installed on the clamping carrier seat 2422. A clamping groove 2423 for engaging the glass edge is machined on the inner side of the clamping block 2421. A buffer cushion layer is provided in the clamping groove 2423, and the material of the buffer cushion layer can be rubber material to avoid hard contact between the clamping groove 2423 and the glass edge and cause damage to the glass edge.

[0032] The working principle and process of the glass edge guiding and clamping device for the glass production line of the present invention during specific installation and use are as follows: First, the left support frame 4 and the right support frame 5 can be installed on the inner side wall of the installation housing 1. The left clamping and guiding part 2 for guiding, clamping, and feeding the left side of the glass edge is installed on the left support frame 4, and the right clamping and guiding part 3 for guiding, clamping, and feeding the right side of the glass edge is installed on the right support frame 5. At the same time, the left corner processing part 7 and the right corner processing part 8 for processing the glass corners are installed in the installation housing 1 as a set. After the above installation is completed, when the glass to be processed is transported between the left clamping and guiding part 2 and the right clamping and guiding part 3 by the conveying mechanism, the guiding component 241 protruding from the clamping component 242 can first contact the glass edge through the guiding roller 2411 therein. At the same time, it should be noted that a conveying motor is installed on the guiding component 241, and the motor shaft of the conveying motor is installed together with the roller mounting shaft 2412. The conveying motor can drive the roller mounting shaft 2412 and the guiding roller 2411 installed on the roller mounting shaft 2412 to rotate through its motor shaft, so that the guiding roller 2411 can drive both sides of the glass to approach the grinding processing equipment. When the glass moves close to the grinding processing equipment (about 1 - 2 centimeters), at this time, the conveying motor stops working. At this time, the worm and gear drives 22 of the left and right clamping and guiding parts 3 are started, and the feed control assembly 23 installed on the worm and gear drives 22 moves synchronously towards the glass edge. At this time, the guiding component 241 in the guiding and clamping assembly 24 compresses the buffer spring 2414 for contact yielding, and the clamping component 242 in the guiding and clamping assembly 24 clamps the glass edge through the clamping block 2421 (the engaging groove 2423 in the clamping block 2421 is closely attached to the glass edge through the rubber buffer cushion layer). At this time, the feed motor 231 in the feed control assembly 23 is started, and the feed motor 231 drives the transmission lead screw 233 to rotate through its motor shaft. Under the action of the thread driving force, the moving nut 234 drives the guiding and clamping assembly 24 to move towards the grinding processing equipment. At this time, the glass to be processed between the clamping components 242 is accurately fed towards the grinding processing equipment together with the guiding and clamping assembly 24 to ensure effective and accurate feed control of the glass to be processed, and thus ensure the processing quality of the glass corners. The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
