Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production technology, and specifically to a glass flipping table. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, the application of glass is becoming more and more widespread, and the deep processing of glass is becoming more and more complex. The double-sided glass processing industry is increasing. In the process of producing vacuum glass, two pieces of raw glass need to be processed together. After that, the processed surfaces of the two pieces of glass need to be put together. However, nowadays, glass changing is done by stacking the glass sheets into a package and changing the entire package before putting it back into the production line for processing. This wastes a lot of manpower and resources. Therefore, a glass flipping table is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a glass flipping table. Glass pieces requiring flipping in the previous process are sequentially fed into the placement gap between two flipping arms via a conveying mechanism. Simultaneously, a cylinder is activated, moving a positioning beam. The positioning beam then moves multiple positioning rollers to the end of the placement gap for limiting. After the glass enters, a flipping motor is activated, driving a small flipping gear to rotate. This small gear, in turn, drives a large flipping gear, which in turn rotates the flipping beam. When the proximity switch sensor block aligns with the working proximity switch, the flipping is completed. The flipped glass is then removed by a robotic arm in the next process. This allows for direct glass flipping on the production line, eliminating the need for a second flipping process and significantly saving manpower and resources. Furthermore, the positioning mechanism of this invention can be raised and lowered intermittently. When the positioning roller descends, the glass is conveyed directly without obstruction. When the positioning roller rises, it prevents the glass from flipping, thus achieving the joining of two intermittently processed glass surfaces.

[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A glass flipping table includes two frames. Bearing fixing plates are welded to the inner top of each frame, and bearings are mounted on the bearing fixing plates. A flipping shaft one is rotatably mounted in one bearing, and a flipping shaft two is rotatably mounted in the bearing on the other side. A flipping beam is installed between flipping shaft one and flipping shaft two. A large flipping gear and a gear flange are fixedly connected to flipping shaft two. A flipping motor fixing plate is welded inside the frame near the large flipping gear, and a flipping motor is fixedly mounted on the flipping motor fixing plate. The output shaft of the flipping motor is connected to a small flipping gear, which meshes with the large flipping gear. Two flipping arm fixing plates are symmetrically welded to one side of the flipping beam. Flipping arms are fixed to the inner surfaces of both flipping arm fixing plates. Cleaning mechanisms are provided between the two side frames and the flipping arms. A positioning mechanism is provided on the side of the flipping beam away from the flipping arms.

[0006] As a further aspect of the present invention: a placement gap is left between the two flipping arms, and the size of the placement gap is adapted to the glass thickness.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the cleaning mechanism includes a connecting plate disposed on the top surface of the inner side of the frame, a connecting shaft one disposed on the inner side of the connecting plate, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the connecting shaft one, sliding grooves being provided at both ends of the two flip arms, a cleaning slider being slidably disposed between the two sliding grooves on the same side, and a connecting shaft two disposed on the outer side of the cleaning slider, wherein the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting shaft one is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft two.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: a connecting groove is provided on the outer ends of the opposite surfaces of the two flipping arms, and a cleaning pad is installed in the connecting groove.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the cleaning slider is in the shape of a semi-I-shape, and a cleaning groove is provided on the inner side of the cleaning slider, and a cleaning sponge is connected to the inner side of the cleaning groove.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the positioning mechanism includes multiple positioning cylinder mounting seats welded to the tilting beam, each positioning cylinder mounting seat is equipped with a cylinder and a linear bearing slider, the guide rods of the multiple cylinders are fitted with a positioning crossbeam, multiple positioning blocks are provided on the side of the positioning crossbeam away from the cylinders, positioning rollers are rotatably mounted on the multiple positioning blocks, and multiple mounting holes are provided on the positioning crossbeam, guide shafts are installed in the multiple mounting holes, and the multiple guide shafts are set through the corresponding linear bearing sliders.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: a proximity switch sensing block is installed at the top of a flip shaft, a proximity switch bracket is installed on the frame on the same side, and a proximity switch is installed on the proximity switch bracket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0013] 1. This invention involves sequentially feeding the glass that needs to be flipped in the previous process into the placement gap between two flipping arms via a conveying mechanism. Simultaneously, a cylinder is activated to move the positioning beam, which in turn moves multiple positioning rollers to the end of the placement gap for limiting. After the glass enters, the flipping motor is activated, which drives the flipping pinion to rotate. The pinion drives the flipping gear to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping beam to flip. When the proximity switch sensing block aligns with the working proximity switch, the flipping is completed, and the flipped glass is removed by the robot arm in the next process. This invention enables direct glass flipping on the production line, eliminating the flipping process of loading and unloading glass, and greatly saving manpower and resources.

[0014] 2. The present invention sets up a cleaning mechanism. When the flipping arm rotates around the flipping beam, it drives the cleaning slider to slide on both sides of the flipping arm to clean the edge of the flipped glass. This prevents the debris generated in the previous process from adhering to the edge of the glass and affecting the assembly process. At the same time, a cleaning pad is set on the outer end of the opposite side of the flipping arm to clean the glass during the glass placement stage.

[0015] 3. The positioning mechanism of this invention can be raised and lowered at intervals. When the positioning roller descends, the glass is conveyed directly without obstruction. When the positioning roller rises, it blocks the glass from flipping, thus realizing the joining of two glass processing surfaces at intervals. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, this is a glass flipping table, which includes two frames 1 installed at corresponding positions on a vacuum glass production line. The inner top of each frame 1 is welded with a bearing fixing plate 2, and the two bearing fixing plates 2 are positioned correspondingly and have the same height. Each bearing fixing plate 2 is equipped with a bearing 3. A flipping shaft 4 is rotatably installed in one bearing 3, and a flipping shaft 5 is rotatably installed in the other bearing 3. The flipping shaft 4 and the flipping shaft 5 are coaxial. A flipping beam 8 is installed between the flipping shaft 4 and the flipping shaft 5. A large flipping gear 6 and a gear flange 7 are fixedly connected to the flipping shaft 5. The gear flange 7 is located outside the large flipping gear 6 and is used to limit and fix the large flipping gear 6.

[0025] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotating motor mounting plate 9 is welded inside the frame 1 near the rotating large gear 6. A rotating motor 10 is fixedly installed on the rotating motor mounting plate 9. The rotating motor 10 is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 10 passes through the rotating motor mounting plate 9 and is connected to a rotating small gear 11. The rotating small gear 11 meshes with the rotating large gear 6. The rotating motor 10 drives the rotating small gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating large gear 6 to rotate, and the rotating large gear 6 drives the rotating beam 8 to rotate.

[0026] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two symmetrically welded flip arm fixing plates 12 are mounted on one side of the aforementioned flip beam 8. Flip arms 13 are fixed to the inner sides of both flip arm fixing plates 12, and a placement gap is left between the two flip arms 13. This placement gap is used to place the glass to be flipped, and the size of the placement gap is adapted to the thickness of the glass. Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism is provided at both ends of the two side frames 1 and the two flip arms 13. The cleaning mechanism includes a connecting plate 24 set on the inner top surface of the frame 1. A connecting shaft 1 is provided on the inner side of the connecting plate 24. A connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 1. Sliding grooves 131 are provided at both ends of the two flip arms 13. A cleaning slider 26 is slidably arranged between the two sliding grooves 131 on the same side. A connecting shaft 26 is provided on the outer side of the cleaning slider 26. The end of the connecting rod 25 away from the connecting shaft 1 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 2. When the flip arm 13 rotates around the flip beam 8, the cleaning slider 26 slides on both sides of the flip arm 13 to clean the edge of the flipped glass, preventing debris generated in the previous process from adhering to the edge of the glass and affecting the lamination process.

[0027] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned flip arms 13 have connecting grooves on their opposite outer ends, and cleaning pads 27 are installed in these grooves to clean the flip glass that enters the placement gap; and as... Figure 5As shown, the cleaning slider 26 is in the shape of a semi-I-shape. A cleaning groove 261 is provided on the inner side of the cleaning slider 26. The cleaning groove 261 corresponds to the position of the placement gap. The width of the cleaning groove 261 is greater than the size of the placement gap. The inner side of the cleaning groove 261 is connected to a cleaning sponge for easy cleaning. The cleaning pad 27 is made of cleaning sponge material.

[0028] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a positioning mechanism is provided on the side of the flipping beam 8 away from the flipping arm 13. The positioning mechanism includes multiple positioning cylinder fixing seats 14 welded to the flipping beam 8. Each positioning cylinder fixing seat 14 is equipped with a cylinder 15 and a linear bearing slider 16. The guide rods of the multiple cylinders 15 are fitted with a positioning crossbeam 17. Multiple positioning blocks 18 are provided on the side of the positioning crossbeam 17 away from the cylinders 15. Positioning rollers 23 are rotatably mounted on the multiple positioning blocks 18. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the positioning crossbeam 17. Guide shafts 19 are installed in the multiple mounting holes and are set through the corresponding linear bearing sliders 16. The guide shafts 19 can slide on the linear bearing sliders 16. The cylinders 15 drive the positioning crossbeam 17 to move. The positioning crossbeam 17 drives the multiple positioning rollers 23 to move to the end of the placement gap, positioning and blocking the flipped glass to prevent the glass from slipping during the flipping process. At the same time, the multiple positioning rollers 23 are rotatably set to unload the impact force of the glass contacting the positioning rollers 23 to prevent damage to the glass.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism of the present invention can be raised and lowered at intervals. When the positioning roller 23 descends, the glass is conveyed directly without obstruction. When the positioning roller 23 rises, it prevents the glass from being flipped, thus realizing the joining of two glass processing surfaces at intervals.

[0030] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a proximity switch sensing block 20 is installed at the top of the flipping shaft 4, and a proximity switch bracket 21 is installed on the frame 1 on the same side. The proximity switch bracket 21 has multiple mounting arc grooves, and a corresponding proximity switch 22 is installed on the corresponding mounting arc groove. The proximity switch 22 includes an extreme proximity switch and a working proximity switch. The flipping angle is controlled by the cooperation between the proximity switch 22 and the proximity switch sensing block 20. Furthermore, the flipping angle range of this glass flipping table is 0-180 degrees, which can adapt to different application scenarios.

[0031] Working principle of the invention:

[0032] Before the glass flipping table starts working, adjust the positions of the limit proximity switches and working proximity switches on both sides, and set the flipping angle to adapt to the production line. The glass to be flipped in the previous process enters the placement gap between the two flipping arms 13 in sequence through the conveying mechanism. When the glass enters, the cylinder 15 is started, which drives the positioning beam 17 to move. The positioning beam 17 drives multiple positioning rollers 23 to move to the end of the placement gap for limiting. After the glass enters, the flipping motor 10 is started, which drives the flipping pinion 11 to rotate. The flipping pinion 11 drives the flipping gear 6 to rotate. The flipping gear 6 drives the flipping beam 8 to flip. When the proximity switch sensing block 20 docks with the working proximity switch, the flipping is completed. The flipped glass is then taken out by the robot arm of the next process. During the flipping process, as the two flipping arms 13 flip, the cleaning sliders 26 on both sides slide in the sliding groove 131 to clean the edges of the flipped glass, so as to prevent the debris generated in the previous process from adhering to the edges of the glass and affecting the next process. The cleaning pad 27 is cleaned during the glass placement stage.

[0033] Furthermore, this invention can also complete the intermittent flipping of glass. The specific working principle is as follows: All the glass processed in the previous process enters the placement gap between the two flipping arms 13 in sequence through the conveying mechanism. When the glass that does not need to be flipped passes through, it passes through the placement gap and is taken out by the robot arm of the next process. When the glass that needs to be flipped passes through, the cylinder 15 is activated, which drives the positioning beam 17 to move. The positioning beam 17 drives multiple positioning rollers 23 to move to the end of the placement gap for limiting. After the glass enters, the flipping motor 10 is activated, which drives the flipping pinion 11 to rotate. The flipping pinion 11 drives the flipping gear 6 to rotate. The flipping gear 6 drives the flipping beam 8 to flip. When the proximity switch sensing block 20 is connected to the working proximity switch, the flipping is completed. The robot arm of the next process takes out the flipped glass and combines it with the glass that did not need to be flipped before.
