Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cantilevered beam hoist driving device and a glass production device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of social and economic development, the proportion of building energy consumption in the total social energy consumption is increasing. Therefore, enhancing the thermal insulation performance of doors and windows and reducing their energy consumption are important links in improving the quality of indoor thermal environment and improving the level of building energy conservation.

[0003] Insulating glass has outstanding thermal insulation performance and is an important material for improving the energy-saving level of doors and windows. In recent years, it has been widely used in buildings. The specifications and sizes of insulating glass have also changed with market demand. There are more and more insulating glasses of various specifications and sizes, and the production rhythm of production equipment has also been transformed and accelerated with the increase in market demand. Manual unloading of glass can no longer meet production efficiency requirements.

[0004] In order to meet the production needs of super-large and super-heavy insulating glass, a KBK suspended single-beam hoist is added to the unloading area of ​​the insulating glass production line to meet the loading and unloading tasks. The current disadvantages of the KBK suspended single-beam hoist are: 2 to 3 people are required to push the single beam to move the hoist to the required position for unloading, which is labor-intensive, slow, and inefficient.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] See also Figure 1-6 The suspension beam hoist driving device shown in the figure comprises a suspension beam 2 including a bracket and a suspension beam guide rail connected to the bracket. The bracket comprises a plurality of vertical beams 23 and a plurality of horizontal beams 24 connected to the upper ends of the vertical beams 23. The vertical beams 23 are perpendicular to the horizontal beams 24.

[0036] The hanging beam guide rails include two first hanging beam guide rails 21 and one or more second hanging beam guide rails 22. The first hanging beam guide rails 21 are connected to the crossbeam 24 and are located at the lower end of the crossbeam 24. The two first hanging beam guide rails 21 are arranged opposite and parallel to each other, with a gap between the two first hanging beam guide rails 21. The second hanging beam guide rail 22 is connected to both first hanging beam guide rails 21 and is perpendicular to the first hanging beam guide rails 21. The first hanging beam guide rails 21 and the second hanging beam guide rails 22 each have an accommodation space along their respective extension directions, that is, their respective accommodation spaces extend along the extension directions of the first hanging beam guide rails 21 and the second hanging beam guide rails 22. The bottoms of the first hanging beam guide rails 21 and the second hanging beam guide rails 22 each have an opening that passes through the accommodation space.

[0037] See also Figure 1-2 The first hanging beam guide rail 21 and the second hanging beam guide rail 22 both include a top plate, two side plates arranged opposite to each other, and two bottom plates respectively arranged under the two side plates. A spacing is maintained between the two bottom plates to form an opening. The bottom plate is parallel to the top plate, and a hollow accommodating space is formed between the top plate, the two side plates, and the two bottom plates.

[0038] The device includes multiple driving mechanisms 1, and a driving mechanism 1 is provided on each of the two first hanging beam guide rails 21. The two ends of the second hanging beam guide rail 22 are respectively connected to the driving mechanisms 1 on the two first hanging beam guide rails 21. The driving mechanism 1 on the first hanging beam guide rail 21 is used to drive the second hanging beam guide rail 22 to move along the extension direction of the first hanging beam guide rail 21; a hoist 3 is provided on the second hanging beam guide rail 22.

[0039] The hoist 3 is connected to a suction mechanism for sucking glass. The suction mechanism includes a vacuum suction cup, which absorbs the glass. If the hoist 3 shakes during movement, the vacuum suction cup will vibrate and not properly absorb the glass, which can easily cause the glass to fall and shatter, affecting not only product quality but also posing a safety hazard to the operator. Furthermore, no manual pulling is required, reducing labor intensity and labor costs. The hoist 3 and suction mechanism in this example are both well-known technical means to those skilled in the art, and their detailed description is omitted.

[0040] The driving mechanism 1 includes a support member 12, a driving wheel 11 that can produce extrusion deformation, a driving member, and a pressure adjusting assembly 13. The upper end of the support member 12 can be slidably arranged in the accommodating space of the hanging beam guide rail. The driving wheel 11 is connected to the support member 12, and the driving wheel 11 is against the bottom of the hanging beam guide rail (the width of the driving wheel 11 is greater than the opening width, the driving wheel 11 will not extend into the opening, and the driving wheel 11 is against the outer walls of the two bottom plates), and the axis of the driving wheel 11 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the hanging beam guide rail; the driving member is connected to the support member 12, and the driving shaft 141 of the driving member is connected to the driving wheel 11. Under the drive of the driving member, the driving wheel 11 moves along the extension direction of the hanging beam guide rail, and when the driving wheel 11 moves, it drives the support member 12 to move along the extension direction of the hanging beam guide rail.

[0041] The driving wheel 11 is made of a flexible material; or a buffer layer is provided on the periphery of the driving wheel 11, and the buffer layer is made of a flexible material, and the flexible material can be rubber, such as polyurethane rubber.

[0042] The pressure regulating component 13 is connected to the support member 12, and one end of the pressure regulating component 13 is slidably set in the accommodating space of the hanging beam guide rail. The pressure regulating component 13 is used to adjust the friction between the driving wheel 11 and the hanging beam guide rail, that is, to adjust the tension of the driving wheel 11 to complete the driving traction. When the second hanging beam guide rail 22 drives the hoist crane 3 to move along the first hanging beam guide rail 21, the driving wheel 11 effectively fits tightly with the hanging beam guide rail, and the driving wheel 11 moves along the hanging beam guide rail without shaking or slipping, so that the second hanging beam guide rail 22 runs more smoothly and stably, and then the hoist crane 3 moves more smoothly and stably, and the vacuum suction cup moves smoothly and smoothly, ensuring that the glass will not separate from the vacuum suction cup during transfer, which is safer.

[0043] The support member 12 includes a support plate 121 and a support. The support plate 121 and the support are distributed front and rear in the extension direction of the hanging beam guide rail. A second shaft 125 is provided at the upper end of the support plate 121. The second shaft 125 is perpendicular to the support plate 121. Second bearings 126 are provided at each end of the second shaft 125. The second bearings 126 are disposed within the accommodation space of the hanging beam guide rail and can slide within the accommodation space. The support plate 121 is used to connect to the hoist 3. A gap is maintained between the support and the hanging beam guide rail. The support is connected to the support plate 121, the drive member is connected to the support, and the pressure adjustment assembly 13 is connected to the support and is located on the side of the drive member away from the support plate 121.

[0044] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6The support includes a hollow frame 122, a first support rod 123 and a second support rod 124 connected to opposite sides of the hollow frame 122. The first support rod 123, the hollow frame 122, and the second support rod 124 are distributed front and back in the extension direction of the suspension beam guide rail. The first support rod 123 is connected to the support plate 121, and the second support rod 124 is connected to the pressure adjustment assembly 13. The hollow frame 122 is surrounded by four sides and penetrates from top to bottom. The drive wheel 11 is disposed within the hollow space of the hollow frame 122, and both ends of the drive wheel 11 extend out of the hollow space of the hollow frame 122. The hollow frame 122 has a square annular side surface, and the other two sides of the annular side surface are opposite. The other two sides have openings for the drive shaft 141 of the drive member to pass through. The drive shaft 141 of the drive member is provided with a bearing 16 at the end away from the drive motor. The bearing 16 is disposed in the opening of the hollow frame 122 to facilitate the rotation of the drive wheel 11 around its own axis.

[0045] In this example, the first support rod 123 is detachably connected to the support plate 121. A U-shaped groove is provided at one end of the first support rod 123 away from the hollow frame 122. One end of the support plate 121 is located in the U-shaped groove. Corresponding mounting holes are provided on the first support rod 123 and the support plate 121. The first support rod 123 is fixedly connected to the support plate 121 by installing fasteners in the mounting holes. If the support plate 121 is replaced, the fasteners can be removed. The fasteners can be bolt and nut assemblies.

[0046] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pressure adjustment assembly 13 includes a pressure rod 131, a spring 132, and a first stopper. The pressure rod 131 extends in the vertical direction, and the opposite ends of the pressure rod 131 pass through the support member 12 respectively. A first shaft 137 is provided at one end of the pressure rod 131. The extension direction of the first shaft 137 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the corresponding first hanging beam guide rail 21 and second hanging beam guide rail 22. The first shaft 137 is perpendicular to the pressure rod 131. Both ends of the first shaft 137 in the longitudinal direction are provided with a first bearing 138. The first bearing 138 is set in the accommodation space of the hanging beam guide rail and can move along the inner wall of the bottom plate of the hanging beam guide rail. The other end of the pressure rod 131 is provided with a first stopper. One end of the spring 132 is against the support member 12, and the other end of the spring 132 is against the first stopper. The provision of the first stopper can prevent the spring 132 from separating from the pressure rod 131.

[0047] The first limit member includes a lower spring cap 133 and an adjusting nut 134, both of which are mounted on the pressure rod 131. The lower spring cap 133 is connected to the other end of the spring 132. The adjusting nut 134 is arranged on the side of the lower spring cap 133 away from the spring 132. The adjusting nut 134 is threadedly connected to the other end of the pressure rod 131. The lower spring cap 133 is used to limit the spring 132. By adjusting the adjusting nut 134, the elastic force of the spring 132 can be adjusted, and then the tension of the driving wheel 11 can be adjusted to adjust the smoothness and stability of the operation of the second hanging beam guide rail 22 and the hoist crane 3.

[0048] Furthermore, the pressure regulating assembly 13 also includes an upper spring cap 135 mounted on the pressure rod 131. The upper spring cap 135 is located above the lower spring cap 133. One end of the upper spring cap 135 is against the support member 12, and the other end of the upper spring cap 135 is connected to one end of the spring 132.

[0049] In this example, the upper spring cap 135 and the lower spring cap 133 both include a first stage and a second stage connected to the first stage. The cross-sections of the first stage and the second stage are both circular, and the diameter of the first stage is larger than the diameter of the second stage. The second stages of the upper spring cap 135 and the lower spring cap 133 are opposite to each other, and the two first stages are respectively close to the two ends of the pressure rod 131. The two ends of the spring 132 are respectively arranged outside the second stage and against the first stage. The upper spring cap 135 and the lower spring cap 133 are arranged to better position the spring 132.

[0050] Furthermore, the pressure regulating assembly 13 further includes a second limiter 136 provided on the pressure rod 131. The second limiter 136 is located between the hanging beam guide rail and the support member 12. The second limiter 136 is used to limit the degree of compression between the driving wheel 11 and the hanging beam guide rail. Figure 5 The second limiting member 136 includes a first frustum and a second frustum. The second frustum is arranged below the first frustum. The first frustum is closer to the upper spring cap 135 than the second frustum. The diameter of the second frustum is smaller than the diameter of the first frustum. The diameter of the second frustum is larger than the diameter of the opening of the second support rod 124.

[0051] Furthermore, the accommodation space of the first hanger beam guide rail 21 is continuous in the longitudinal direction. To prevent the drive mechanism 1 from separating from the first hanger beam guide rail 21, baffles 25 are provided at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the first hanger beam guide rail 21. The surface area of ​​the baffles 25 can be less than or equal to the surface area of ​​the ends of the longitudinal direction of the first hanger beam guide rail 21. The baffles 25 are used to prevent the drive mechanism 1 from separating from the first hanger beam guide rail 21, ensuring safe operation and achieving both mechanical and electrical protection.

[0052] In this example, the driving member includes a driving motor 14 (servo motor) and a reduction gearbox 15. The device also includes a control system and an encoder. The control system is connected to the encoder and the driving member, and the encoder is connected to the driving member.

[0053] The driving wheel 11 of this example can fit tightly with the first hanging beam guide rail 21 and the second hanging beam guide rail 22, so that the driving of the second hanging beam guide rail 22 is smoother and more stable. The pressure adjustment component 13 of this example can adjust the tension of the driving wheel 11 conveniently and quickly, and the running speed can be controlled.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, a driving mechanism 1 is provided on the first hanging beam guide rail 21 and the second hanging beam guide rail 22. The two ends of the second hanging beam guide rail 22 are respectively connected to the two first hanging beam guide rails 21 through the driving mechanism 1. The driving mechanism 1 on the second hanging beam guide rail 22 can be connected to the hoist 3. The driving mechanism 1 on the first hanging beam guide rail 21 is used to drive the second hanging beam guide rail 22 to move along the first hanging beam guide rail 21, and the driving mechanism 1 on the second hanging beam guide rail 22 is used to drive the hoist 3 to move along the second hanging beam guide rail 22.

[0055] In this embodiment, the axis line of the driving wheel 11 of the driving mechanism 1 on the first hanging beam guide rail 21 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the first hanging beam guide rail 21, and the driving wheel 11 moves along the length extension direction of the first hanging beam guide rail 21; the axis line of the driving wheel 11 of the driving mechanism 1 on the second hanging beam guide rail 22 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the second hanging beam guide rail 22, and the driving wheel 11 moves along the length extension direction of the second hanging beam guide rail 22.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention, a glass production device is provided, which includes a cantilever hoist drive device, a control system, a first drive assembly for driving the conveyor rollers of the sealing machine 4, a second drive assembly for driving the conveyor rollers at the unloading area 5 at the outlet of the sealing machine 4, a first proximity switch 6 at the outlet of the sealing machine 4, and a second proximity switch 7 at the unloading area 5. Figure 7 The control system is connected to the first drive component, the second drive component, the drive mechanism 1, the first proximity switch 6, and the second proximity switch 7. The first drive component and the second drive component both include a drive motor 14 and an encoder. The control system is used to calculate the length of the glass passing through the outlet of the sealing machine 4 according to the detection results of the encoder of the first drive component and the first proximity switch 6, to calculate the center position of the glass according to the detection results of the encoder of the second drive component and the second proximity switch 7, to control the drive mechanism 1 to drive the second hanging beam guide rail 22 to move to the first designated position, and to control the drive mechanism 1 to drive the second hanging beam guide rail 22 to move to the second designated position. The first designated position is the position of the suction mechanism on the hoist 3 corresponding to the center position of the glass, and the second designated position is the corresponding glass placement rack. Specifically:

[0057] The outlet of the sealing machine 4 is provided with an unloading area 5, the suspension beam 2 is located on one side of the unloading area 5, and the glass placement rack is located on one side of the suspension beam 2. The sealing machine 4 is used to seal the insulating glass, and the sealed glass is transported to the unloading area 5. The suction mechanism on the hoist 3 adsorbs the glass in the unloading area 5 and then transfers the glass to the glass placement rack. That is, the glass sealed by the sealing machine 4 needs to be transferred to the glass placement rack for curing. Curing takes a period of time. Because the sealing machine 4 works continuously, the sealed glass is first transferred to the unloading area 5, and then the suspension beam hoist driving device transfers the glass on the unloading area 5 to the glass placement rack. The unloading area 5 is only for temporary storage of glass.

[0058] The exit of the sealer 4 is equipped with conveyor rollers. A first drive assembly drives these rollers to transport the sealed glass to the unloading area 5. The conveyor rollers in the unloading area 5 correspond to the conveyor rollers at the exit of the sealer 4, and a second drive assembly drives these rollers to transport the glass. During transport, the glass is placed vertically or at an angle, with the surface of the glass parallel to the vertical or at a small angle to the vertical. In this case, the width of the glass is the same as its height. Typically, different sizes of glass have different lengths but the same width.

[0059] A first proximity switch 6 is installed at the exit of the sealing machine 4. The first proximity switch 6 is used to detect the arrival and departure of glass. When glass is detected, the control system reads the real-time count value of the encoder of the first drive component. When the glass leaves, the control system reads the count value of the encoder and multiplies the read encoder count value by a mechanical transmission coefficient to obtain the length of the glass. In addition, if different glasses have different widths, a width dimension detection device can also be provided to detect the width of the glass. When the length and width values ​​of the glass are both known, the center position of the glass can be determined. When the vacuum suction cup grasps the center position of the glass, it ensures that the glass is more stable during movement and is not easily separated from the vacuum suction cup.

[0060] A second proximity switch 7 is located at the exit of the unloading area 5 to sense the arrival of glass. If glass is detected, a signal is sent to the control system PIC. If glass is detected, the control system PLC is set to 1, and 0 if no glass is present. When glass arrives at the unloading area 5, the control system receives the signal and, based on the calculated length of the glass, uses the second drive component of the unloading area 5 and the encoder speed signal to perform a logical operation to calculate the center position of the glass after it stops. Combining various parameters within the control system PLC program, the control system automatically calculates the distance from the glass rack. Based on this distance, the control system automatically drives the drive element of the cantilevered hoist drive device, causing the hoist 3 to automatically and accurately move to the first designated position. The first designated position is the position of the vacuum suction cup on the hoist 3 corresponding to the center position of the glass, completing the vacuum suction cup's glass suction. After the glass is sucked, the control system determines whether the glass is fully sucked based on the weight sensor and suction cup vacuum pressure sensor on the suction mechanism. If so, the control system controls the drive element to drive the hoist 3 to the second designated position, which corresponds to the glass rack, and finally releases the glass onto the rack.

[0061] Method for calculating the position of glass in unloading area 5: Use the timer inside the control system to calculate the center point position of the glass through the signal of the second proximity switch 7 at the end of unloading area 5 and the actual length of the glass, combined with the encoder of the second drive component.

[0062] The control system in this example automatically calculates the position of the glass and, based on that position, automatically controls the hoist to move to a first designated position via a drive mechanism. This allows the hoist to pick up the glass from the unloading area and then transport it to a designated glass rack. Furthermore, the drive mechanism's operating speed can be adjusted based on production speed, automating the equipment and improving production efficiency. This drive device and control system simplify and facilitate the glass unloading process, reducing labor and improving production efficiency. The drive device has a simple structure, offers smooth and safe operation, and improves product yield. It also eliminates the need for manual pulling, reducing labor intensity and labor costs.
