Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carrier glass manufacturing and processing, and more specifically, to a traction roller protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Traction rollers are crucial forming equipment in the production of carrier glass. During production, replacement of consumables or breakage of plates is inevitable. When a plate breaks, the traction roller must be opened immediately to protect it. This prevents the traction roller from getting caught in broken glass, damaging the boss and rendering it unusable, directly impacting the efficiency of resuming normal production.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors discovered that:

[0004] 1. Under the current conditions, operators need to manually open the traction roller and clean the broken glass. At this time, the time required to manually lift the traction roller is relatively long, which will reduce the efficiency of the traction roller in pulling the glass of the carrier plate.

[0005] 2. When removing glass from the traction roller, manual cleaning is used. Broken glass may injure the operator's hands, reducing the safety of the entire device.

[0006] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure is studied and improved to provide a traction roller protection device, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0007] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0008] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a traction roller protection device, which can realize the automatic removal of broken glass, reduce the lifting time of the traction roller body, ensure the efficiency of the traction roller body in traction of the glass carrier plate, and at the same time, avoid the occurrence of operator injury, thus improving the safety of the entire device during use.

[0009] 2. Technical Solution

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0011] A traction roller protection device includes a traction roller body, a work platform is provided directly below the traction roller body, one end of the traction roller body is attached to one side of the work platform, the other end of the traction roller body is provided with a movable component and is connected to the other side of the work platform through the movable component, and a traction roller linear execution component is provided at the inner bottom of the work platform and directly below the traction roller body.

[0012] The movable component includes a mounting base, one end of which is fixed to the inner side of the workbench, and a movable ball is movably connected to the middle of the mounting base. The side of the movable ball is fixed to one end of the traction roller body.

[0013] The traction roller linear actuator includes an intermediate platform, which is fixed to the inner bottom of the worktable. A drive mechanism is provided inside the intermediate platform, and a push rod is connected to the drive mechanism. A connecting mechanism is provided at the top of the push rod and is connected to the side of the traction roller body through the connecting mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, a rocker arm is fixedly connected to one end of the traction roller body, and a counterweight is fixedly sleeved on the rocker arm.

[0015] Furthermore, the workbench is a steel frame structure, and a partition is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench and near one side wall. An arc-shaped load-bearing groove is fixedly installed at one end of the workbench and the top of the partition.

[0016] Furthermore, a number of mounting hole groups are provided at the other end of the workbench, and the mounting hole group includes four mounting holes of equal size and distributed in a square.

[0017] Four threaded straight rods are fixedly installed at one end of the mounting base. The threaded straight rods pass through the mounting hole group and are threadedly connected to bolts. A half-baffle is fixedly installed between two of the threaded straight rods.

[0018] Furthermore, the mounting base includes two symmetrically arranged half-bases, each half-base having an arc-shaped locking hole on its inner side. A polishing arc ring is engaged within the arc-shaped locking hole, with the polishing arc ring tightly fitted against the inner side of the arc-shaped locking hole, and the movable ball fitted inside the polishing arc ring.

[0019] Furthermore, a patch is fixedly provided on the side of the half-base, and a locking bolt is connected between two patches located at adjacent positions.

[0020] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a stepper motor, the output end of which is connected to a crank handle via a coupling, and one end of the crank handle is fixedly connected to a straight rod with a baffle.

[0021] An oblique pushing groove is fixedly provided in the middle of the pushing rod, and the straight rod with baffle is slidably connected to the inside of the oblique pushing groove;

[0022] Both the top and bottom ends of the intermediate platform have black sliding holes that cooperate with the push rod for sliding.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a lower movable seat, the top of which is movably connected to an upper movable seat. The top of the upper movable seat is fixedly provided with two arc-shaped support members, which are sleeved on the side of the rocker arm.

[0024] Furthermore, the included angle of the horizontal plane of the traction roller body ranges from 0 to 45°.

[0025] 3. Beneficial effects

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0027] (1) In this scheme, when the traction roller is in use, the workbench restricts the movement of both ends of the traction roller body. When broken glass appears on the traction roller body, the drive mechanism on the traction roller linear execution component works to control one end of the traction roller body to lift up. Since the other end of the traction roller body is restricted by the moving component, the other end of the traction roller can only rotate and cannot move horizontally. Thus, the traction roller body can be opened in a straight line. During this process, the four traction roller bodies with broken glass are opened, and the degree of inclination of the traction roller body can be used to realize the automatic removal of broken glass, reduce the lifting time of the traction roller body, and ensure the efficiency of the traction roller body in pulling the glass of the carrier plate.

[0028] (2) In this scheme, when the traction roller body is performing the traction work on the glass, the lifting of the traction roller body is operated by the traction roller execution component, which avoids the workers from directly contacting the traction roller body manually, thereby avoiding the occurrence of worker injuries and improving the safety of the entire device during use.

[0048] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Example:

[0050] Please see Figure 1-8A traction roller protection device includes a traction roller body 1, a work platform 2 is provided directly below the traction roller body 1, one end of the traction roller body 1 is placed on one side of the work platform 2, the other end of the traction roller body 1 is provided with a movable component 3 and is connected to the other side of the work platform 2 through the movable component 3, and a traction roller linear execution component 4 is provided at the inner bottom of the work platform 2 and directly below the traction roller body 1.

[0051] The entire device is supported by the workbench 2, and the traction roller body 1 of the workbench 2 can rotate freely. During the transportation of the carrier glass by the traction roller body 1, one end of the traction roller body 1 can move freely on one side of the workbench 2, while the other end can remain free to move between the workbench 2 and the other side of the workbench 2 through the movable component 3. At this time, the traction roller body 1 rotates freely when the carrier glass moves. If the carrier glass breaks, the transportation of the carrier glass is stopped. Then, the traction roller linear actuator 4 controls one end of the traction roller body 1 to move linearly. At the same time, in conjunction with the movable component 3, the traction roller body 1 can be opened, which makes it easier to remove broken glass and avoid the traction roller body 1 getting caught in broken glass, causing damage to the boss and making it unusable. This ensures the efficiency of normal production of the traction roller body 1.

[0052] The movable component 3 includes a mounting base 301, one end of which is fixed to the inner side of the workbench 2. A movable ball 302 is movably connected to the middle of the mounting base 301, and the side of the movable ball 302 is fixed to one end of the traction roller body 1.

[0053] When the traction roller body 1 rotates, it drives the movable ball 302 to rotate freely inside the mounting base 301, ensuring the smooth rotation of the traction roller body 1. When the traction roller body 1 opens in a straight line, the movable ball 302 follows the traction roller body 1 to change angle, ensuring that the traction roller body 1 can open freely.

[0054] The traction roller linear actuator 4 includes an intermediate platform 401, which is fixed to the inner bottom of the worktable 2. A drive mechanism 402 is provided inside the intermediate platform 401. A push rod 403 is connected to the drive mechanism 402. A connecting mechanism 404 is provided at the top of the push rod 403 and is connected to the side of the traction roller body 1 through the connecting mechanism 404.

[0055] The intermediate platform 401 is stably fixed to the worktable 2. Then the drive mechanism 402 works to control the push rod 403 to advance. During the advancement of the push rod 403, it is used in conjunction with the connecting mechanism 404 to control the side of the traction roller body 1 to open in a straight line, thereby realizing the removal of broken glass on the traction roller body 1.

[0056] See Figure 3One end of the traction roller body 1 is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 101, and a counterweight 102 is fixedly sleeved on the rocker arm 101.

[0057] When the traction roller body 1 is not opened in a straight line, the weight of the rocker arm 101 is increased by the counterweight 102, which can improve the stability of the traction roller body 1 when it rotates.

[0058] See Figure 4 The workbench 2 is a steel frame structure, and a partition 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench 2 and near one side wall. An arc-shaped load-bearing groove 202 is fixedly installed at one end of the workbench 2 and the top of the partition 201.

[0059] The traction roller body 1 can be placed in the arc-shaped bearing groove 202. When the traction roller body 1 rotates, the position of the traction roller body 1 can be restricted to avoid positional deviation when the traction roller body 1 rotates.

[0060] See Figure 4 At the other end of the workbench 2, there are several sets of mounting holes 203, and the sets of mounting holes 203 include four mounting holes of equal size and arranged in a square.

[0061] Four threaded straight rods 3011 are fixedly installed at one end of the mounting base 301. The threaded straight rods 3011 pass through the mounting hole group 203 and are threadedly connected to bolts 3012. A half baffle 3013 is fixedly installed between two threaded straight rods 3011.

[0062] When installing the mounting base 301, insert the threaded straight rod 3011 into the mounting hole group 203 until the half baffle 3013 contacts the side of the worktable 2, and then fit the bolt 3012 onto one end of the threaded straight rod 3011 to complete the fixing between the mounting base 301 and the worktable 2.

[0063] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting base 301 includes two symmetrically arranged half-bases 3014. An arc-shaped locking hole 3015 is opened on the inner side of the half-base 3014. A polishing arc ring 3016 is locked in the arc-shaped locking hole 3015. The polishing arc ring 3016 is tightly attached to the inner side of the arc-shaped locking hole 3015. A movable ball 302 is sleeved on the inner side of the polishing arc ring 3016.

[0064] The movable ball 302 can rotate within the polishing arc ring 3016. The setting of the polishing arc ring 3016 can avoid direct contact between the arc-shaped locking holes 3015 and reduce the degree of wear caused by direct contact. At the same time, it reduces the frictional resistance when the movable ball 302 rotates, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the carrier glass.

[0065] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 A patch 3017 is fixedly provided on the side of the half-base 3014, and a locking bolt 3018 is connected between two adjacent patches 3017.

[0066] The position of the patch 3017 is locked by the locking bolt 3018, which then forms a lock between the two half-bases 3014, thereby locking the polishing arc ring 3016 inside the mounting base 301. In actual use, when the movable ball 302 is severely worn, the locking bolt 3018 is removed and the two half-bases 3014 are separated, and the movable ball 302 along with the traction roller body 1 can be replaced.

[0067] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The drive mechanism 402 includes a stepper motor 4021. The output end of the stepper motor 4021 is connected to a crank handle 4022 via a coupling. One end of the crank handle 4022 is fixedly connected to a straight rod 4023 with a baffle plate.

[0068] An inclined push groove 4031 is fixedly provided in the middle of the push rod 403, and a straight rod 4023 with a baffle is slidably connected to the inside of the inclined push groove 4031;

[0069] The top and bottom of the intermediate platform 401 are both opened with black sliding holes 4011 that cooperate with the push rod 403 for sliding.

[0070] When the drive mechanism 402 is working, the push rod 403 can be moved. During this process, the stepper motor 4021 works and controls the crank 4022 to rotate, which in turn controls the straight rod 4023 with baffle to rotate. At this time, the sliding hole 4011 controls the direction of movement of the push rod 403 and the inclined push groove 4031. The straight rod 4023 with baffle will push the inclined push groove 4031 and the push rod 403 to move synchronously. With the help of the external connecting mechanism 404, the linear push of the traction roller body 1 can be realized.

[0071] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The connecting mechanism 404 includes a lower movable seat 4041, an upper movable seat 4042 is movably connected to the top of the lower movable seat 4041, and two arc-shaped support members 4043 are fixedly provided at the top of the upper movable seat 4042. The arc-shaped support members 4043 are sleeved on the side of the rocker arm 101.

[0072] When the push rod 403 is pushed forward, the traction roller body 1 is restrained by the movable component 3 at one end. At this time, the traction roller body 1 and the rocker arm 101 are tilted, and the lower movable seat 4041 and the upper movable seat 4042 can move freely. At this time, it can adapt to the angle change when the rocker arm 101 and the traction roller body 1 are tilted, ensuring the smooth opening of the traction roller body 1 in a straight line.

[0073] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The included angle of the horizontal plane of the traction roller body 1 ranges from 0 to 45°.

[0074] According to the change of the angle of the traction roller body 1, the traction roller body 1 can be opened in a straight line within the range of 0 to 45°, thereby ensuring that there is enough space to remove the broken glass on the traction roller body 1.

[0075] When using:

[0076] The carrier glass is placed on the traction roller body 1, and the distance between two adjacent carrier glass is controlled. When the carrier glass moves, the traction roller body 1 rotates synchronously.

[0077] When the glass plate breaks on the traction roller body 1, the traction roller linear actuator 4 works, and in conjunction with the limiting effect of the movable component 3, the traction roller body 1 is lifted in a straight line. Specifically, when the drive mechanism 402 works, it can control the movement of the push rod 403. During this process, the stepper motor 4021 works and controls the crank 4022 to rotate, which in turn controls the rotation of the straight rod 4023 with baffle. At this time, the sliding hole 4011 controls the direction of movement of the push rod 403 and the inclined push groove 4031. The straight rod 4023 with baffle will push the inclined push groove 4031 and the push rod 403 to move synchronously. Then, because one end of the traction roller body 1 is restrained by the movable component 3, the traction roller body 1 and the rocker arm 101 are tilted. The lower movable seat 4041 and the upper movable seat 4042 can move freely, which can realize the linear push of the traction roller body 1. When the four traction roller bodies 1 with broken glass are opened, the tilt of the traction roller body 1 can realize the automatic removal of broken glass.

[0078] After the broken glass is removed, the stepper motor 4021 is used to control the push rod 403 to descend until the rocker arm 101 contacts the arc-shaped bearing groove 202. At this time, all the traction roller bodies 1 remain parallel, and the traction operation of the glass plate can continue.

[0079] This device can automatically remove broken glass, reduce the lifting time of the traction roller body 1, ensure the efficiency of the traction roller body 1 in traction the glass of the carrier plate, and at the same time, avoid the occurrence of operator injury, thus improving the safety of the entire device during use.
