Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glazing, in particular to a robot glazing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The toilet glazing process has many uncontrollable factors and low efficiency due to the complex product shape. In order to solve these problems, many manufacturers are using robots to replace manual work and improve product quality.

[0003] The current robot glazing technology on the market adopts fixed station glazing. In the whole process, a lot of time is wasted in line transfer. Some manufacturers have configured multiple robots to solve the efficiency problem, resulting in a large amount of machine cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a robot glazing method that can fully utilize robot resources.

[0005] The robot glazing method of the present application is implemented as follows: a front conveying line, a rear conveying line, a mobile station track arranged between the front conveying line and the rear conveying line, a forklift driven by power arranged on the mobile station track, a set of more than one follow-up device arranged along the moving direction of the forklift beside the mobile station track, a glazing robot driven by the follow-up device, the glazing workpiece is conveyed to the forklift at the mobile station track on the front conveying line, under the power drive, the forklift loaded with the glazing workpiece moves to the follow-up device, the follow-up device drives the glazing robot to move synchronously with the moving forklift, the glazing robot performs glazing work on the glazing workpiece, the glazing robot that has completed the glazing work is reset under the drive of the follow-up device, and the glazing work on the glazing workpiece on the next forklift is completed. The glazing workpiece that has completed glazing reaches the rear conveying line and is sent away by the rear conveying line.

[0006] Since the glazing workpiece is glazing by the follow-up glazing method, the forklift on the front conveying line, the rear conveying line and the mobile station track can continuously and stably move without stopping to wait for the completion of glazing, thereby speeding up the glazing process and fully utilizing the glazing robot resources.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the advantage of fully utilizing robot resources. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0010] The robotic glazing method of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0011] like Figure 1 As shown, the robotic glazing method of the present invention is implemented as follows: a front conveyor line 1 (belt-driven conveyor mechanism), a rear conveyor line 2 (belt-driven conveyor mechanism), a moving workstation track 3 located between the front conveyor line 1 and the rear conveyor line 2, a power-driven fork 4 mounted on the moving workstation track 3, two sets of follower devices 5 (driven by the track and an electric power device (such as an electric power-driven synchronous belt)) arranged sequentially along the direction of fork movement beside the moving workstation track 3, and a glazing robot 6 driven by the follower devices 5. (Moving along the track by a synchronous belt), the moving station track 3 is a circular track. The glazing workpiece A is conveyed on the front conveyor line 1 to the fork 4 at the moving station track 3, and then transferred to the fork 4 by the fork transfer mechanism 7. Driven by power, the fork 4 carrying the glazing workpiece A moves to the follower device 5. Under the control of the control device, the follower device 5 drives the glazing robot 6 to move synchronously with the moving fork 4 (e.g., after the sensor detects that the fork 4 has moved into position, the follower device 5 is controlled to drive the glazing robot 6 at the same speed as the moving fork 4). (Glazing robot 6 moves) The glazing robot 6 performs glazing work on the workpiece A. The preceding follower device 5 drives the preceding glazing robot 6 to perform partial glazing work on the workpiece A. After reaching the following follower device 5, the preceding glazing robot 6 quickly resets under the drive of the preceding follower device 5 and proceeds to glaze the next workpiece entering the moving station track 3. Meanwhile, the following follower device 5, under the control of the control device, drives the following glazing robot 6 and the moving fork 4 to move synchronously (e.g., the sensor detects the fork). After the fork 4 moves into position, the control follower device 5 drives the glazing robot 6 to move at the same speed as the fork 4 to complete the remaining glazing work on the workpiece A. After the fork 4 moves to the rear conveyor line 2, the workpiece A is transferred to the rear conveyor line 2 by the fork transfer mechanism and is sent away by the rear conveyor line 2. Meanwhile, the fork 4 moves back to the front conveyor line 1 along the moving station track 3. The rear glazing robot is reset under the drive of the rear follower device so that it can glaze the workpiece on the next fork that enters its working range.

[0012] Two sets of follow-up devices are respectively set on both sides of the moving workstation track to avoid mutual interference between the two sets of follow-up devices.
