Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of hollow glass gluing equipment, and in particular to an automatic movable backstop system for hollow glass joint gluing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Door and window glass is the main heat source of modern buildings. In some cold regions, a double-layer door and window solution is usually used to improve the heat transfer problem of the door and window. In recent years, the hollow shutter window is a typical case. The traditional hollow shutter glass window is composed of a frame, two layers of glass, and shutters and control sliders installed between the two layers of glass. Compared with the most common single-layer glass window structure, the heat insulation and sound insulation performance of this structure have been greatly improved. Hollow glass is a new type of building material that is good at heat and sound insulation, is beautiful and suitable, and can reduce the weight of buildings. Two or more pieces of glass are evenly separated by effective support and are peripherally bonded and sealed, forming a dry gas space between the glass layers.

[0003] Currently, in order to ensure the uniformity of the gluing depth of each edge, a backstop is needed to determine the position of the spacer. The backstop in the prior art is manually moved, and sometimes the glass position changes are not easily detected. After the glass joint is completed, it is found that the glass is misaligned, which leads to substandard quality of the glass joint and requires rework, thus affecting the entire production schedule. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides an automatic movable backstop system for hollow glass joint gluing, which solves the technical problem that the backstop in the prior art is manually moved, and sometimes the glass position changes are not easily detected. After the glass joint is completed, it is found that the glass is misaligned, which leads to substandard quality of the glass joint and requires rework, thus affecting the entire production schedule.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0006] An automatic movable backstop system for hollow glass joint gluing, comprising a joint support, a guide for supporting the hollow glass, and an automatic backstop assembly for abutting against the spacer; the joint support is provided with a plurality of automatic backstop assemblies arranged in a straight line array on each adjacent edge; the joint support is provided with a plurality of guides.

[0007] The further technical scheme is that the automatic abutment assembly comprises an abutment support arranged on the joint support, an abutting mechanism for abutting against the spacer, a lifting device for driving the abutting mechanism to lift and down and a contact assembly arranged on the joint support; the lifting device is arranged on the abutment support; the abutting mechanism slides on the abutment support; the lifting device is in transmission connection with the abutting mechanism; and the contact assembly is in electrical connection with the abutting mechanism and the lifting device respectively.

[0008] The further technical scheme is that the abutting mechanism comprises a protrusion for abutting against the spacer, a first driving device for driving the protrusion to move and a sliding block arranged on the first driving device; the driving end of the first driving device is in transmission connection with the protrusion; a sliding groove adapted to the first driving device is arranged on the abutment support; the first driving device slides in the sliding groove; and the sliding block is arranged on the lifting device.

[0009] The further technical scheme is that the lifting device comprises a lead screw and a second driving device for driving the lead screw to rotate; the driving end of the second driving device is in transmission connection with the lead screw; the sliding block is in screw connection with the lead screw; and the second driving device is arranged on the abutment support.

[0010] The further technical scheme is that the contact assembly comprises a contact seat, a contact circuit control board arranged on the contact seat and spring contacts in electrical connection with the contact circuit control board; an installation groove adapted to the contact seat is arranged on the abutment support; the contact seat is installed in the installation groove; the circuit control board is in electrical connection with the first driving device and the second driving device respectively; and a plurality of spring contacts arranged in a straight line array are arranged on the contact seat.

[0011] The further technical scheme is that the end of the protrusion is made of magnetic material.

[0012] The one or more technical schemes provided in the embodiments have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0013] 1. Since the joint support, the guide and the automatic abutment assembly are arranged, a plurality of guides arranged in a straight line array are fixedly connected on each support of the joint support, and the guide can rotate, so that the glass placed on the joint support can be well moved through the guide, thereby facilitating the movement of the glass by the staff. The automatic abutment assembly can automatically adjust the position of the abutment protrusion according to the type of the glass, thereby better determining the position of the spacer placed on the glass, ensuring that the glass is more precise during the merging process, preventing errors during the jointing process, and improving the production efficiency to a certain extent.

[0014] 2. Due to the use of a support bracket, a backing mechanism, a lifting device, and contact components, when the glass is placed on the hinged bracket and moved to rest against the automatic backing component, the glass will rest against the contact components. Since the contact components are electrically connected to both the backing mechanism and the lifting device, they detect the glass height and control the lifting device via a controller. This causes the lifting device to drive the backing mechanism to slide upwards on the support bracket. When the backing mechanism reaches a position suitable for the glass height, the lifting device automatically stops. Then, the controller activates the backing mechanism, causing it to extend. The operator can then place the spacer against the backing mechanism to determine its position. This operation is simple, reliable, and convenient for operators.

[0015] 3. Due to the use of a protrusion, a first driving device, a slider, and a sliding groove, and because the first driving device is electrically connected to the contact assembly, when the glass abuts against the contact assembly, the contact assembly will identify the height of the glass and control the lifting device to drive the slider to slide upward through the controller. During the upward sliding of the slider, the first driving device can be driven to slide upward in the sliding groove. When the first driving device slides to a position that matches the height of the glass, the lifting device stops working, and the controller will control the first driving device to work, so that the driving end of the first driving device drives the protrusion to extend. At this time, the spacer can be placed on the glass and abut against the protrusion, thus determining the position of the spacer.

[0016] 4. Due to the use of a lead screw and a second driving device, and because the second driving device is electrically connected to the contact assembly, when the glass abuts against the contact assembly, the contact assembly will identify the height of the glass and control the second driving device to work through the controller. At this time, the driving end of the second driving device drives the lead screw to rotate. Since the slider is threaded to the lead screw, and the slide groove has a limiting effect on the first driving device, the rotation of the lead screw can drive the slider to slide, thereby driving the first driving device to continue to slide on the slide groove.

[0017] 5. Due to the use of a contact base, a contact circuit control board, and spring contacts, and the fact that the contact base has several spring contacts arranged in a linear array, when glass of different thicknesses abuts against the corresponding spring contacts on the contact base, the abutting spring contacts will make contact with the corresponding contacts on the contact circuit control board. This will cause the contact circuit control board to control the first and second drive devices to perform corresponding operations through the controller. Therefore, this automatic backing component can be used with glass of different thicknesses at the same time.

[0018] 6. Since the end of the bump is made of magnetic material, the thickness of the bump can be adjusted by adsorbing iron sheets of different thicknesses, thereby adjusting the amount of glue applied. Attached Figure Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic movable backer system for hollow glass sealing and gluing, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the backer is manually moved, and sometimes the position of the glass is not easily detected, and the glass is found to be misaligned after the sealing and gluing of the glass is completed, which leads to a substandard quality of the sealed and glued glass and requires rework, thereby affecting the entire production progress.

[0026] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above problem, and the general idea is as follows:

[0027] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings in the specification and the specific embodiments.

[0028] An automatic movable backer system for hollow glass sealing and gluing, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1, includes a sealing support 1, a guide 2 for supporting the hollow glass, and an automatic backer assembly 3 for abutting the spacer. The sealing support 1 is provided with a plurality of automatic backer assemblies 3 arranged in a straight line array on each of the two adjacent sides. The sealing support 1 is provided with a plurality of guides 2.

[0029] The top of each adjacent edge of the laminating support 1 is fixedly connected with two groups of automatic abutting components 3 arranged in a straight line array. The top of each support in the laminating support 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide rails 2 arranged in a straight line array. When the glass is placed on the guide rail 2 on the laminating support 1, the glass can be moved well by the guide rail 2. Each group of automatic abutting components 3 is controlled by a controller. The controller completes automatic adjustment work through programming, and the control logic is as follows: the controller interface inputs the glass type of the laminated sheet, which is mainly single cavity or multiple cavities. For single cavity glass, when the first piece of glass is placed on the laminating support 1, the first piece of glass is pushed so that the two adjacent edges of the glass abut on the two automatic abutting components 3 on the two adjacent edges of the laminating support 1 at the same time. At this time, when the contact array on the four groups of automatic abutting components 3 detects the glass to position signal at the same time, the height of the automatic abutting component 3 is automatically adjusted according to the glass position, and the abutting protrusion is popped out. At this time, the spacer is determined by abutting on the abutting protrusion. After installing the spacer, the second piece of glass is placed on the spacer, and after the installation of the second piece of glass is completed, the glass is moved. At this time, when the detection array of the four groups of automatic abutting components 3 detects that the glass is separated from the contact, the abutting protrusion is automatically retracted, thereby facilitating the removal of the glass. After the glass is removed, the height of each group of automatic abutting components 3 remains unchanged. Generally, the configuration of a project glass does not change much, so basically the height of the automatic abutting component 3 does not change much in a project, avoiding frequent adjustment. When the laminated sheet is multiple cavities, the first cavity logic is the same as that of single cavity. Only when the second piece of glass is placed in position, the controller adjusts the height of each group of automatic abutting components 3 to the second position, and the abutting protrusion is popped out. When the second cavity spacer is placed, the third piece of glass is placed, and when the third piece of glass is installed, the glass is moved to separate from the contact array. At this time, the abutting protrusion of each group of automatic abutting components 3 is automatically retracted and automatically reaches the abutting position of the first piece of glass.

[0030] Through the arrangement of the laminating support 1, the guide rail 2 and the automatic abutting component 3, since the laminating support 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide rails 2 arranged in a straight line array on each support, and the guide rail 2 can rotate, when the glass is placed on the laminating support 1, the glass can be moved well by the guide rail 2, thereby facilitating the movement of the glass by the worker. Since the automatic abutting component 3 can automatically adjust the position of the abutting protrusion according to the type of the glass, the position of the spacer placed on the glass can be better determined, and the glass can be more accurately combined during the combination process, preventing errors during the combination process, and improving the production efficiency to a certain extent.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the drawings, the automatic abutting component 3 comprises an abutting support 31 arranged on the laminating support 1, an abutting mechanism 32 for abutting the spacer, a lifting device 33 for driving the abutting mechanism 32 to lift, and a contact component 34 arranged on the laminating support 1. The lifting device 33 is arranged on the abutting support 31. The abutting mechanism 32 slides on the abutting support 31. The lifting device 33 is drivingly connected to the abutting mechanism 32. The contact component 34 is electrically connected to the abutting mechanism 32 and the lifting device 33 respectively.

[0032] The abutting support 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the laminating support 1. The lifting device 33 is fixedly connected to the abutting support 31. Since the lifting device 33 is drivingly connected to the abutting mechanism 32, the lifting device 33 can drive the abutting mechanism 32 to slide up and down on the abutting support 31. The contact component 34 is embedded on the abutting support 31. The contact component 34 is controlled by a controller. When the glass abuts on the contact component 34, the contact component 34 can identify the height of the glass, and control the abutting mechanism 32 and the lifting device 33 to work through the controller. The abutting mechanism 32 is lifted to a position suitable for the height of the glass, and then the abutting mechanism 32 is extended, so that the spacer can be abutted on the abutting mechanism 32 to determine the position of the spacer.

[0033] By arranging the abutting support 31, the abutting mechanism 32, the lifting device 33 and the contact component 34, when the glass is placed on the laminating support 1 and moved to abut on the automatic abutting component 3, the glass abuts on the contact component 34. Since the contact component 34 is electrically connected to the abutting mechanism 32 and the lifting device 33, the contact component 34 can identify the height of the glass, and control the lifting device 33 to work through the controller, so that the lifting device 33 drives the abutting mechanism 32 to slide up on the abutting support 31. When the abutting mechanism 32 slides to a position suitable for the height of the glass, the lifting device 33 automatically stops working. Then the controller controls the abutting mechanism 32 to work, so that the abutting mechanism 32 is extended, and then the worker abuts the spacer on the abutting mechanism 32 to determine the position of the spacer. The operation process is simple and reliable, which is convenient for the worker to operate.

[0034] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the abutting mechanism 32 comprises a protrusion 321 for abutting the spacer, a first driving device 322 for driving the protrusion 321 to move, and a sliding block 323 arranged on the first driving device 322. The driving end of the first driving device 322 is drivingly connected to the protrusion 321. The abutting support 31 is provided with a sliding groove 311 suitable for the first driving device 322. The first driving device 322 slides in the sliding groove 311. The sliding block 323 is arranged on the lifting device 33.

[0035] The first driving device 322 is electrically connected with the contact assembly 34. The first driving device 322 is preferably a pneumatic telescopic cylinder. The driving end of the first driving device 322 is in transmission connection with the protrusion 321. The telescopic driving end of the first driving device 322 can drive the protrusion 321 to move horizontally. The first driving device 322 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 323. The lifting device 33 is in transmission connection with the sliding block 323. The lifting device 33 can drive the sliding block 323 to move up and down, thereby driving the first driving device 322 to slide up and down on the sliding groove 311.

[0036] Through the protrusion 321, the first driving device 322, the sliding block 323 and the sliding groove 311, since the first driving device 322 is electrically connected with the contact assembly 34, when the glass abuts against the contact assembly 34, the contact assembly 34 can identify the height of the glass, and the lifting device 33 is controlled by the controller to drive the sliding block 323 to slide up, and the sliding block 323 can drive the first driving device 322 to slide up in the sliding groove 311 in the process of sliding up. When the first driving device 322 slides to a position matched with the height of the glass, the lifting device 33 stops working at this time, and the controller controls the first driving device 322 to work, so that the driving end of the first driving device 322 drives the protrusion 321 to extend out. At this time, the spacer bar can be placed on the glass and abut against the protrusion 321, so that the position of the spacer bar can be determined.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting device 33 comprises a lead screw 331 and a second driving device 332 for driving the lead screw 331 to rotate. The driving end of the second driving device 332 is in transmission connection with the lead screw 331. The sliding block 323 is in threaded connection with the lead screw 331. The second driving device 332 is arranged on the backstop support 31.

[0038] The second driving device 332 is electrically connected with the contact assembly 34. The second driving device 332 is preferably a stepping motor. The second driving device 332 is fixedly connected with the backstop support 31. The driving end of the second driving device 332 is in transmission connection with the lead screw 331. The sliding block 323 is provided with a threaded hole matched with the lead screw 331, and the sliding block 323 is in threaded connection with the lead screw 331 through the threaded hole. The end of the lead screw 331 is fixedly provided with a stop block to prevent the sliding block 323 from being separated from the lead screw 331.

[0039] The second driving device 332 is electrically connected with the contact assembly 34. When the glass abuts against the contact assembly 34, the contact assembly 34 can identify the height of the glass. The second driving device 332 is controlled by the controller to work. At this time, the second driving device 332 drives the screw rod 331 to rotate. The sliding block 323 is threadedly connected with the screw rod 331. The sliding groove 311 limits the first driving device 322. Therefore, the screw rod 331 can drive the sliding block 323 to slide, and further drive the first driving device 322 to slide in the sliding groove 311.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 The contact assembly 34 comprises a contact seat 341, a contact circuit control board 342 arranged on the contact seat 341, and spring contacts 343 electrically connected with the contact circuit control board 342. The abutment support 31 is provided with a mounting groove 312 matched with the contact seat 341. The contact seat 341 is mounted in the mounting groove 312. The circuit control board 342 is electrically connected with the first driving device 322 and the second driving device 332 respectively. The contact seat 341 is provided with a plurality of spring contacts 343 arranged in a straight line array.

[0041] The contact seat 341 is provided with a plurality of contact clamping grooves matched with the spring contacts 343. Each group of spring contacts 343 is clamped in the corresponding contact clamping groove. The contact circuit control board 342 is fixedly connected with the contact seat 341. When the glass abuts against the corresponding spring contacts 343, the abutted spring contacts 343 can contact the corresponding contacts on the contact circuit control board 342. When the spring contacts 343 contact the contacts on the contact circuit control board 342, the controller can receive an electrical signal, and further control the first driving device 322 and the second driving device 332 to work.

[0042] The contact seat 341, the contact circuit control board 342, and the spring contacts 343 are arranged. The contact seat 341 is provided with a plurality of spring contacts 343 arranged in a straight line array. When the glass of different thicknesses abuts against the corresponding spring contacts 343 on the contact seat 341, the abutted spring contacts 343 can contact the corresponding contacts on the contact circuit control board 342, so that the contact circuit control board 342 controls the first driving device 322 and the second driving device 332 to work correspondingly through the controller. Therefore, the automatic abutment assembly 3 can be applied to the glass of different thicknesses.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 The end of the convex block 321 is made of a magnetic material.

[0044] The end of the bump 321 is made of magnetic material, so the glue amount can be adjusted by adsorbing iron pieces of different thicknesses to adjust the thickness of the bump 321.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to encompass within their scope all such variations and modifications as are included within the scope of the application.
