[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 As shown, a glass transfer device for glass production includes a base 1. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the base 1 near the rear end. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the upper outer surface of the support frame 2. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to the right outer surface of the support frame 2 near the lower end. A drive wheel 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10 through the interior of the support frame 2. A driven wheel 12 is meshed with the outer surface of the drive wheel 11. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the rotating rod 13. A charging port is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the fixing plate 3. An air pump 4 is included. A hydraulic actuator 5 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the fixed plate 3 near the rear end. A hydraulic rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the fixed plate 3 near the rear end. A distribution box 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hydraulic rod 6. A fixing frame 9 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the distribution box 8. Slide tracks 99 are provided on both inner surfaces of the fixing frame 9 near the lower end. A sliding plate frame 91 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the slide tracks 99 on the fixing frame 9. A scraper 94 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the sliding plate frame 91. A brush 93 is fixedly connected near the front edge. The motor 10 and hydraulic actuator 5 are started. The hydraulic actuator 5 retracts the hydraulic rod 6, causing the distribution box 8 and the fixing frame 9 to rise. Then, the motor 10 rotates, driving the drive wheel 11, which in turn drives the driven wheel 12. The driven wheel 12 then drives the rotating rod 13, which in turn rotates the fixing plate 3. This rotation of the fixing plate 3 causes the hydraulic rod 6 and the fixing frame 9 to rotate above the glass. The hydraulic actuator 5 is then started again, causing the hydraulic rod 6 to press down. This downward pressure causes the fixing frame 9 to press against the glass surface. When the glass is approached, the air pump 4 connected to the second air pipe 15 is activated. The air pump inflates and enters the slide 99 through the second air pipe 15. The thrust generated by the air pump pushes the slide frame 91 to slide within the slide 99. The sliding of the slide frame 91 drives the scraper 94 and brush 93 to start cleaning the surface of the glass. Air is also blown through the pipe 92 to further clean the glass surface. By cleaning the glass surface, not only can the subsequent suction cup 95 be firmly attached, but the glass can also be prevented from breaking due to pressure on hard objects.

[0024] Example 2, as Figure 1-3As shown, a first air pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front end of the fixing frame 9 near the right side. A second air pipe 15 is disposed on the outer surface of the front end of the fixing frame 9 near the top of the first air pipe 14. Partitions 96 are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of both sides of the fixing frame 9. A pipe 92 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the lower end of the partition 96. A suction cup 95 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pipe 92. An inner cavity 97 is disposed between the lower end of the fixing frame 9 and the partition 96. The upper end of the inner cavity 97 of the fixing frame 9... A through hole 98 is provided on the surface. During the movement of the slide frame 91, the gas generated by the air pump 4 enters the inner cavity 97 through the through hole 98 on the fixed frame 9. The gas in the inner cavity 97 pushes the stop block on the pipe 92 to move, thereby causing the pipe 92 to push the suction cup 95 closer to the glass surface, making the suction cup 95 stick to the glass surface. At this time, the air pump 4 generates suction force, which draws air out through the pipe 92 and the inside of the suction cup 95, thereby creating a vacuum inside the suction cup 95. The suction cup 95 adheres more firmly. At this point, the skateboard frame 91 will rise slightly on one side of the slide rail 99 due to the pressure, and then be stuck by the slide rail 99, preventing the skateboard frame 91 from moving. Once the suction is secure, the hydraulic pump 5 and motor 10 are activated, causing the fixing plate 3 to return to its original position. Then, the hydraulic rod 6 moves down, allowing the glass to be placed on the ground. At this time, the air pump 4 connected to the second air pipe 15 inflates, filling the suction cup 95 with air, causing the suction cup 95 to detach from the glass, thus completing the handling process. Then, the first... The air pump 4 connected to the air pipe 14 inflates the first air pipe 14. The gas enters the partition 96 and pushes the stop block on the pipe 92 through the through hole 98 on the partition 96. This causes the stop block to move the pipe 92 back to its original position, allowing the suction cup 95 to return to its original position for the next transport. By inflating and deflating the suction cup 95, the suction cup 95 can be firmly attached to the surface of the glass, thus ensuring the stability of the glass transport and preventing the glass from moving and breaking due to loose fixing.

[0025] Working principle: When using this device, the user first secures it to a transport vehicle and then transports it to the target location. At this point, the motor 10 and hydraulic actuator 5 are activated. The hydraulic actuator 5 retracts the hydraulic rod 6, causing the distribution box 8 and the fixing frame 9 to rise. Then, the motor 10 rotates, driving the drive wheel 11, which in turn drives the driven wheel 12. The driven wheel 12 then drives the rotating rod 13, which in turn rotates the fixing plate 3. This rotation of the fixing plate 3 causes the hydraulic rod 6 and the fixing frame 9 to rotate above the glass. The hydraulic actuator 5 is then activated again, causing the hydraulic rod 6 to press down. This downward pressure causes the fixing frame 9 to move closer to the glass surface. When cleaning the glass, the air pump 4 connected to the second air pipe 15 is activated. The air pump inflates and enters the slide rail 99 through the second air pipe 15. The thrust generated by the air pump pushes the slide frame 91 to slide within the slide rail 99. The sliding of the slide frame 91 causes the scraper 94 and brush 93 to begin cleaning the glass surface. Air also passes through pipe 92 and blows onto the glass surface for further cleaning. This cleaning not only ensures the subsequent adhesion of the suction cup 95 but also prevents the glass from breaking due to pressure on hard objects. During the movement of the slide frame 91, the air pump 4 generates gas that enters through the through hole 98 on the fixing frame 9. The gas inside the inner cavity 97 pushes the stop on the pipe 92 to move, thereby causing the pipe 92 to push the suction cup 95 closer to the glass surface, making the suction cup 95 adhere tightly to the glass surface. At this time, the air pump 4 generates suction, which draws air out through the pipe 92 and inside the suction cup 95, thus creating a vacuum inside the suction cup 95, making the suction cup 95 adhere more firmly. At this time, the skateboard frame 91 will move upward due to the pressure on one side of the slide rail 99, and then be stuck by the slide rail 99, preventing the skateboard frame 91 from moving. After it is firmly attached, the hydraulic device 5 and the motor 10 are activated, causing the fixing plate 3 to return to its original position. Then the hydraulic rod 6 moves down, allowing the glass to be placed on the ground. The air pump 4, connected to the second air pipe 15, inflates the suction cup 95, causing it to detach from the glass and complete the transport. Then, the air pump 4, connected to the first air pipe 14, inflates the first air pipe 14. The gas enters the partition 96 and pushes the stop block on the pipe 92 through the through hole 98 on the partition 96, causing the stop block to move the pipe 92 back to its original position, thus restoring the suction cup 95 to its original position for the next transport. By inflating and deflating the suction cup 95, it is possible to firmly adhere the suction cup 95 to the surface of the glass, thereby ensuring the stability of the glass transport and preventing the glass from moving and hitting the edges due to insufficient fixation, which could cause it to break.
