Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass stacker technology, specifically to a method for processing a suction cup frame for a glass stacker. Background Technology

[0002] The glass industry is developing rapidly, and the stacking equipment technology in the cold end of the glass production line is being used more and more widely and is constantly improving. The requirements for stacking technology are also getting higher and higher. Glass stacking equipment in the cold end of the glass production line can be roughly divided into vertical stackers, horizontal stackers, and robotic stackers. Although they have different characteristics, they all need to be equipped with suction cup frames.

[0003] Existing suction cup frames, such as the prior art document CN205708848U, disclose a suction cup frame for a glass stacker, including a main support frame. Two sliding structures, each consisting of a slider and a guide rail, are arranged on both sides along the length of the main support frame. The sliders are fixed to the main support frame, and the guide rails connect to the sliders and allow sliding relative to the main support frame. Two extension supports are arranged alternately and parallel along the thickness direction of the main support frame. The extension supports are connected to the guide rails and allow sliding relative to the main support frame. Multiple aluminum profiles are vertically fixed to the main support frame and the extension supports. At the bottom of the long bracket, multiple suction cup assemblies are fixed to the aluminum profile via a first fastening handle. The first fastening handle is used to lock or release the suction cup assemblies. During the suction cup gripping of the glass, the planes of all suction cups must be consistent. If they are inconsistent, the suction cups cannot firmly grip the glass, and the glass is prone to falling and causing accidents. The parallelism and perpendicularity of the extension bracket and the main bracket must be consistent. If they are inconsistent, when the extension bracket is extended, the parallelism error between the extension bracket and the main bracket will be magnified several times, making it impossible for the suction cups to maintain a consistent plane. Considering all the above factors, the precision requirements for the suction cup frame are extremely high.

[0004] The prior art does not disclose the processing method of the suction cup frame. Existing suction cup frame processing methods typically involve welding the main support frame together with two mirror-shaped U-shaped frames and an intermediate mounting plate. The intermediate mounting plate has a mounting surface machined before assembly, and an extension bracket is mounted on the mounting surface. Therefore, the parallelism and perpendicularity of the mounting surface directly affect the parallelism and perpendicularity between the extension bracket and the main support frame. To ensure parallelism and perpendicularity, existing processes use positioning fixtures to position the mounting surface during the assembly of the mounting plate. However, removing the positioning fixtures cannot guarantee the parallelism and perpendicularity of the mounting surface. Furthermore, direct welding of the U-shaped frames to the intermediate mounting plate can easily lead to deformation of the suction cup frame. In summary, this process cannot guarantee the processing accuracy of the suction cup frame. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to improve the machining accuracy of the suction cup holder.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] A method for processing a suction cup frame for a glass stacker includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Assemble the first frame (1), mounting plate (3), and second frame (2) in sequence to form the base. Multiple sets of pre-reserved card blocks and slots on the first frame (1) and multiple sets of pre-reserved card slots and card blocks on the second frame (2) are locked together for positioning and fixation. Each card block has a through slot. The pre-reserved buckle on the mounting plate (3) extends into the slot for positioning and fixation. Mounting block (33) is fixed on the mounting plate (3).

[0009] Step 2: Install the upper surface of the base onto the machine tool, calibrate the base to ensure that the base is parallel to the X and Y axes of the machine tool, and then use a fixing plate to clamp and fix it. After clamping, use the upper surface of the base as the rough reference to machine the reference surface to be used later (5).

[0010] Step 3: Install the reference surface (5) onto the machine tool, calibrate the base to ensure that the base is parallel to the X and Y axes of the machine tool, and then fix it with a fixing plate. Use a milling cutter (6) to mill process holes (7) on the side of the base. The horizontal edge of the process hole (7) is set parallel to the reference surface (5), and the vertical edge of the process hole (7) is set perpendicular to the reference surface (5). The milling cutter (6) extends into the base from the corner of the process hole (7) and machines the corresponding steps (331) and mounting surfaces (332) on the mounting block (33).

[0011] Beneficial effects: Through the cooperation of the locking blocks, slots, and openings, the deformation of the base is greatly reduced during the assembly process; through the cooperation of the reference surface and process holes, all machined surfaces (upper surface of the base, lower surface of the base, steps, and mounting surface) are machined simultaneously using a single reference, ensuring the parallelism and perpendicularity between each machined surface; by reducing deformation and ensuring the parallelism and perpendicularity between each machined surface, the machining accuracy of the suction cup frame is effectively improved.

[0012] Furthermore, the board material is cut, and after the material is cut, the board material is bent to form a first frame (1) for later use. Multiple sets of card blocks and slots are reserved at the upper and lower ends of the first frame (1), and the card blocks are provided with through slots. Another board material is cut, and after the material is cut, the board material is bent to form a second frame (2) for later use. Multiple sets of card slots and card blocks that are compatible with the card blocks and slots of the first frame (1) are reserved at the upper and lower ends of the second frame (2), and the card blocks are also provided with through slots. The bending direction of the second frame (2) is opposite to that of the first frame (1). The mounting plate (3) is cut, and the mounting plate (3) has buckles that are compatible with the slots reserved at the upper and lower ends.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The cooperation of the blocks, slots, and openings reduces the deformation of the base during the assembly process.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the first frame (1) are reserved with multiple sets of first card blocks (11) and first card slots (12); the upper and lower ends of the second frame (2) are reserved with multiple sets of second card blocks (21) and second card slots (22). The second card blocks (21) are set close to the first card slots (12), and the second card slots (22) are set close to the first card blocks (11). The first card blocks (11) reserved in the first frame (1) are positioned in the second card slots (22) reserved in the second frame (2), and the second card blocks (21) reserved in the second frame (2) are positioned in the first card slots (12) reserved in the first frame (1).

[0015] Furthermore, a first latch (111) is provided through the first latch (111), and a second latch (211) is provided through the second latch (211). The upper and lower ends of the mounting plate (3) are reserved with a first latch (31) and a second latch (32) that are staggered left and right. The first latch (31) of the mounting plate (3) extends into the first latch (111) above the first frame (1) for positioning, and the second latch (32) of the mounting plate (3) extends into the second latch (211) below the second frame (2) for positioning. After assembly, the mounting plate (3) is located between the first frame (1) and the second frame (2).

[0016] Furthermore, the first card block (11) and the first card slot (12) of each group are arranged adjacent to each other, and the second card block (21) and the second card slot (22) of each group are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one mounting block (33) is fixed on each of the two side walls of the mounting plate (3).

[0018] Furthermore, the pre-reserved slots after assembly are used for spot welding and adjustment. All welding positions in this process are fixed with slots and have reserved welding grooves (4). The reserved welding grooves (4) can be used for overall welding of the base body. After welding, all welds on the base body are ground smooth.

[0019] Beneficial effects: By setting the welding groove, not only can the overall rigidity of the substrate be strengthened, but the substrate can also be made into a whole. After the weld is ground smooth, the overall appearance quality of the substrate can be effectively improved.

[0020] Furthermore, during the clamping process in step 2, ensure that the contact surface between the upper surface and the machine tool is flat and without gaps. If there are gaps, appropriate shims must be used to fill them.

[0021] Beneficial effect: By ensuring that the contact surface between the upper surface and the machine tool is flat and without gaps, it can be guaranteed that the substrate will not deform again during the machining process.

[0022] Furthermore, after the processing is completed in step 3, the process hole (7) is covered with a corresponding steel plate.

[0023] Beneficial effect: By masking the process holes, the appearance of the substrate can be improved.

[0024] Further, in step 4, a rotating mounting base (8) is welded at the middle position on the upper surface of the substrate, and the rotating mounting base (8) is machined and adjusted to be parallel to the reference surface (5).

[0025] Beneficial effect: By machining the rotary mounting base parallel to the reference surface, the machining accuracy of the suction cup holder can be further improved.

[0026] Further, in step 4, the reference surface (5) is removed, and a limiting frame (9) is welded to each end of the base to complete the processing of the suction cup frame.

[0027] The advantages of this invention are:

[0028] This invention significantly reduces deformation of the substrate during assembly through the cooperation of the locking blocks, slots, and openings. Furthermore, by cooperating with the reference surface and process holes, all machined surfaces (upper surface, lower surface, steps, and mounting surface) are processed simultaneously using a single reference, ensuring parallelism and perpendicularity between the machined surfaces. Through these measures of reducing deformation and ensuring parallelism and perpendicularity between the machined surfaces, the processing accuracy of the suction cup holder is effectively improved.

[0029] This invention reduces the deformation of the base material during assembly by using the cooperation of the locking blocks, slots, and openings.

[0030] By setting up the welding groove, this invention can not only strengthen the overall rigidity of the substrate, but also make the substrate a whole. After grinding the weld seam, the overall appearance quality of the substrate can be effectively improved.

[0031] This invention ensures that the substrate will not deform again during machining by guaranteeing that the contact surface between the upper surface and the machine tool is flat and without gaps.

[0032] This invention improves the appearance of the substrate by blocking the process holes.

[0033] This invention improves the machining accuracy of the suction cup holder by machining the rotating mounting base parallel to the reference surface. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This embodiment provides a method for processing a suction cup frame for a glass stacker:

[0045] Step 1, as follows Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown in the figure, the sheet material is cut, and multiple groups of first clamping blocks 11 and first clamping grooves 12 are reserved at the upper and lower ends of the sheet material. Each group of first clamping blocks 11 and first clamping grooves 12 are arranged adjacent to each other. A first clamping opening 111 is formed through the first clamping block 11. After cutting, the sheet material is bent to form a first frame 1 for standby; another sheet material is cut, and multiple groups of second clamping blocks 21 and second clamping grooves 22 are reserved at its upper and lower ends. Each group of second clamping blocks 21 and second clamping grooves 22 are arranged adjacent to each other. The second clamping block 21 is arranged close to the first clamping groove 12, and the second clamping groove 22 is arranged close to the first clamping block 11. A second clamping opening 211 is formed through the second clamping block 21. After cutting, the sheet material is bent to form a second frame 2 for standby. The bending direction of the second frame 2 is opposite to that of the first frame 1. The second frame 2 and the first frame 1 are butted together to form a "mouth" shape; as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the mounting plate 3 is cut. First buckles 31 and second buckles 32 are reserved at the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 3 in a left-right staggered manner. At least one mounting block 33 is fixed on each side wall of the mounting plate 3. In this embodiment, two mounting blocks 33 are fixed at intervals on each side wall of the mounting plate 3.

[0046] Step 2, as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the first frame 1, the second frame 2 and the mounting plate 3 are assembled to form a base body. The first clamping block 11 reserved on the first frame 1 is positioned in the second clamping groove 22 reserved on the second frame 2, and the second clamping block 21 reserved on the second frame 2 is positioned in the first clamping groove 12 reserved on the first frame 1. The first buckle 31 of the mounting plate 3 extends into the first clamping opening 111 above the first frame 1 for positioning, and the second buckle 32 of the mounting plate 3 extends into the second clamping opening 211 below the second frame 2 for positioning. After assembly, the mounting plate 3 is located between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, and the vertical section is in an 8-shaped setting; after assembly, the clamping openings reserved up and down are used for spot welding and adjustment. All welding positions of this process are fixed by clamping openings and welding grooves 4 are reserved. The welding grooves 4 are integrally welded. The welding grooves 4 can not only enhance the overall rigidity of the base body, but also make the base body form a whole to improve the appearance quality; through the settings of the clamping grooves, clamping openings and buckles, the deformation of the base body during the welding process is greatly reduced, and there is no need to additionally add an anti-deformation process plate, effectively reducing the subsequent processing difficulty.

[0047] Step 3, as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, all the weld seams on the base body are ground flat, which can effectively improve the overall appearance quality of the base body.

[0048] Step 4, as Figure 5As shown, the upper surface of the substrate is mounted onto the machine tool (not shown). After aligning the substrate to ensure it is parallel to the X and Y axes of the machine tool, a fixing plate (not shown) is used for clamping and fixing. During clamping, ensure that the contact surface between the upper surface and the machine tool is flat and without gaps. If there are gaps, appropriate shims (not shown) must be used to fill them. Because the substrate may deform after welding, directly fixing it while deformed will cause it to deform again. When the fixing plate is released after machining, the deformed substrate may rebound. Therefore, do not use the fixing plate to cause the substrate to deform again during machining. If there are gaps, shims need to be added for adjustment. After clamping, the upper surface of the substrate is used as the rough datum to machine the datum surface 5 for subsequent use on the substrate. This can ensure the parallelism and perpendicularity of the upper surface, lower surface and subsequent machined surfaces of the substrate.

[0049] Step 5, as follows Figure 6 As shown, the reference surface 5 is installed on the machine tool (not shown). After aligning the base to ensure that the base is parallel to the X and Y axes of the machine tool, it is fixed with a fixing plate (not shown). A milling cutter 6 is used to mill process holes 7 on the side of the base. The process holes 7 are "U" shaped. The horizontal side of the process holes 7 is parallel to the reference surface 5, and the vertical side of the process holes 7 is perpendicular to the reference surface 5. The milling cutter 6 extends into the base from the corner of the process holes 7 and processes the corresponding steps 331 and mounting surfaces 332 on the mounting block 33 to ensure the parallelism and perpendicularity of the steps 331 and mounting surfaces 332. After processing, the process holes 7 are covered with a corresponding steel plate to improve the appearance of the base.

[0050] Step 6, as follows Figure 7 As shown, a rotating mounting base 8 is welded at the middle position on the upper surface of the substrate, and the rotating mounting base 8 is machined and adjusted to be parallel to the reference surface 5.

[0051] Step 7, as follows Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, remove the reference surface 5 and weld a limiting frame 9 to each end of the base to complete the processing of the suction cup frame.

[0052] This method ensures that the suction cup holder can machine all surfaces (upper surface of the base, lower surface of the base, machining surface of the rotating mounting seat 8, step 331 and mounting surface 332) while using a single reference, ensuring that each machining surface is set in parallel. The single clamping and machining more effectively ensures the positioning dimensions of the reference surface 5 to the step and the parallelism and perpendicularity requirements of the step 331 and mounting surface 332, effectively guaranteeing the accuracy requirements of the suction cup holder.

[0053] In use, the shape of the slider (not shown in the figure) is adapted to the processed mounting block 33, and its vertical cross-section is "ji" shaped. The two mounting ends of the slider are mounted on the corresponding mounting surfaces 332 through bolts. The middle protrusion of the slider is clamped on the step 331 for positioning. A guide rail (not shown in the figure) adapted to it is slidably connected to the slider. There are two guide rails, which are respectively arranged in the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. The guide rails can perform telescopic movement within the frame. An aluminum profile (not shown in the figure) is vertically fixed to the bottom of the guide rail. A plurality of suction cups (not shown in the figure) are vertically and spacedly fixed to the bottom of the aluminum profile; the rotary mounting seat 8 is mounted on a moving mechanism (not shown in the figure), and the moving mechanism can drive the suction cup frame to rotate and move through the rotary mounting seat 8; by ensuring the parallelism and perpendicularity of the machining surfaces of the suction cup frame, the accuracy of the slider, the guide rail and the moving mechanism can be ensured, so that the planes of the suction cups are kept consistent. The suction cup frame drives the suction cups to always maintain high precision during the process of grasping the glass, effectively preventing accidents from occurring.

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
