Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, and more specifically to a glass sheet taking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is a high-performance, cost-effective material widely used in construction, home furnishings, automobiles, aerospace and other fields. However, glass is also a relatively fragile material that requires careful protection. Negligence at any stage, from production to post-installation maintenance, can cause damage to the glass, ranging from minor to major. During the glass processing, a sheet-retrieving device typically transports the stacked glass sheets sequentially to the processing stage.

[0003] Chinese patent CN109592411B discloses an automatic glass slicing device. In use, the device uses a gripping cylinder on the suction cup frame to move the suction cup downwards, allowing it to adhere to the upper glass layer. Finally, the suction cup frame moves upwards, and the suction cup moves the upper glass layer upwards, thus completing the glass slicing operation. However, when the suction cup adheres to the upper glass layer, the gripping cylinder moves the suction cup downwards. At this time, the suction cup applies force to the upper glass layer. If the force is too great, it can easily damage the lower glass layer, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a glass removal machine, which aims to solve the problem in related technologies where suction cups apply force to the upper glass layer when adsorbing it, and excessive force can easily damage the lower glass layer.

[0005] The glass sheet taking machine of the present invention includes a conveyor frame for conveying glass to a processing step; a clamping mechanism disposed on the conveyor frame for clamping multiple pieces of glass; a translation mechanism connected to the conveyor frame, wherein the clamping mechanism is connected to the translation mechanism, the translation mechanism is used to mount the clamping mechanism and can drive the clamping mechanism to move on the conveyor frame; and a dispersing mechanism connected to the clamping mechanism, the dispersing mechanism including two elastic bands, two guide frames, and two pulling components, the two pulling components being slidably connected to the two guide frames and respectively connected to the two elastic bands, the guide frames having a horizontal section and an arc-shaped section, and the two... The arc-shaped segment on the guide frame is V-shaped. Two sets of elastic bands, guide frames, and pulling components are located on the same side. After the clamping mechanism clamps multiple pieces of glass, the two elastic bands are in close contact with the front and rear sides of the multiple pieces of glass. The pulling component can stretch the elastic bands, making them longer to disperse the multiple pieces of glass and prevent adjacent pieces from contacting each other. A pushing mechanism, connected to the clamping mechanism, pushes the pulling component from the horizontal segment to the arc-shaped segment, causing the left ends of the two elastic bands to move along the arc-shaped segments of the two guide frames, thereby causing the multiple pieces of glass to sequentially detach from the two elastic bands.

[0006] Preferably, a placement mechanism is connected to the conveyor frame. The placement mechanism includes a support frame connected to the conveyor frame, a guide rail on the support frame, a movable component slidably connected to the upper limit of the guide rail, and a support assembly connected to the movable component. The support assembly is used to support the detached glass. The movable component can move on the guide rail to move the support assembly and flip it to the left to a horizontal position, so that the support assembly places the glass onto the conveyor frame. The support assembly includes a fixed support part for supporting the bottom of the glass.

[0007] Preferably, the support assembly includes a vertical plate connected to the movable part, a plurality of support plates connected to the top of the vertical plate, and a fixed support part connected to the right side of the vertical plate. The vertical plate and the plurality of support plates are used to support the left side of the glass when the support assembly drives the glass to flip to the left.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed support is connected to the movable part, and the fixed support has a top movable support structure and a limiting structure. The movable support structure includes a movable support, and an elastic telescopic rod is connected between the movable support and the fixed support. A push rod is also connected to the bottom of the movable support. The limiting structure includes a first fixed seat and a second fixed seat connected to the top of the fixed support. The first fixed seat is located to the left of the second fixed seat. A long support is rotatably connected to the first fixed seat, and a short support is rotatably connected to the second fixed seat.

[0009] Preferably, a push plate is provided above the movable support, and an elastic element is connected between the bottom of the push plate and the bottom of the movable support. A hinge seat is connected to the top of the movable support, and a connecting rod is provided on the inner side of the hinge seat. A clamping member is rotatably connected to the push plate. The clamping member is adapted to the hinge seat, and an opening is provided on the clamping member. The connecting rod on the hinge seat passes through the opening on the corresponding clamping member.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a lifting part and two clamping plates. Two first connecting rods are movably connected to the lifting part. The ends of the two first connecting rods away from the lifting part are respectively movably connected to the two clamping plates. The lifting part moves upward to pull the two first connecting rods, thereby causing the two clamping plates to move closer to each other.

[0011] Preferably, the two first links are arranged in a V-shape, and the distance between the two first links gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0012] Preferably, the translation mechanism includes a first lead screw rotatably connected to the conveyor frame, a movable part threadedly connected to the first lead screw, and a movable frame connected to the bottom of the movable part. The rotation of the first lead screw drives the movable part to move on the conveyor frame, thereby driving the movable frame to move.

[0013] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a second lead screw, on which a mounting seat is threadedly connected. Two second connecting rods are movably connected to the mounting seat. One end of each of the two second connecting rods is movably connected to two pulling components. The rotation of the second lead screw causes the mounting seat to move to the left. The leftward movement of the mounting seat simultaneously pushes the two pulling components to move to the left on the guide frame through the two second connecting rods.

[0014] Preferably, the conveyor frame includes a frame body and a plurality of drive shafts rotatably connected to the frame body. Each of the plurality of drive shafts has a protrusion connected to its outer side. The plurality of drive shafts rotate in the same direction, causing the protrusions on their outer sides to rotate. The rotation of the protrusions causes the glass to move.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] In use, multiple pieces of glass are clamped simultaneously by the clamping mechanism, so that the two elastic bands on the dispersing mechanism are in close contact with the two sides of the glass. At this time, two pulling components pull the two elastic bands at the same time, causing the two elastic bands to extend simultaneously, thereby causing the multiple pieces of glass to separate, so that adjacent pieces of glass no longer contact each other. The glass is then transported one by one to the conveyor frame by the pushing mechanism and the placing mechanism. The conveyor frame then transports the glass one by one to the processing stage, so as to avoid the glass being damaged by the pressure of the suction cup, thus avoiding increased production costs.

[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the glass picker of the present invention includes a conveyor frame 1 for conveying glass to the processing step. A clamping mechanism 2 is provided on the conveyor frame 1 for simultaneously clamping multiple pieces of glass. A translation mechanism 3 is connected to the conveyor frame 1, and the clamping mechanism 2 is connected to the translation mechanism 3. The translation mechanism 3 can drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move horizontally, thereby driving multiple pieces of glass to move horizontally at the same time. A dispersing mechanism 4 is connected to the clamping mechanism 2, which can disperse multiple pieces of glass so that adjacent pieces of glass no longer contact each other. A pushing mechanism 5 is connected to the clamping mechanism 2, and the pushing mechanism 5 is connected to the dispersing mechanism 4. The pushing mechanism 5 can push the dispersing mechanism 4, thereby causing multiple pieces of glass to fall off the dispersing mechanism 4 one by one. A placement mechanism 6 is connected to the conveyor frame 1 for conveying multiple pieces of glass that are sequentially pushed out from the clamping mechanism 2 onto the conveyor frame 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the conveyor frame 1 includes a frame body 11, on which multiple drive shafts 12 are rotatably connected. The multiple drive shafts 12 are arranged at equal intervals, and protrusions 13 are connected to the outer side of the drive shafts 12. A drive assembly is connected to the frame body 11, which can drive the multiple drive shafts 12 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction (not shown in the figure; the drive assembly is existing technology, such as a combination of a motor and a drive belt, which will not be described in detail here). After the glass is placed on the protrusions 13 on the conveyor frame 1, the drive assembly drives the multiple drive shafts 12 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction. When the drive shafts 12 rotate, they move the glass to the processing step through the protrusions 13.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a first automatic telescopic part 21 and two sets of first guide parts 25. The first automatic telescopic part 21 is a first cylinder with the telescopic end facing downward. A lifting part 22 is connected to the telescopic end of the first automatic telescopic part 21. Two first connecting rods 23 are rotatably connected to the lifting part 22. The two first connecting rods 23 are arranged in a V-shape. The distance between the two first connecting rods 23 gradually increases from top to bottom. A clamping plate 24 is connected to the end of each of the two first connecting rods 23 away from the lifting part 22. The two clamping plates 24 are slidably connected to the two sets of first guide parts 25 respectively.

[0038] The first automatic telescopic part 21 is activated, which drives the lifting part 22 to move upward, pulling the first connecting rod 23 to move upward. This causes the distance between the lower ends of the two first connecting rods 23 to gradually decrease, so that the two first connecting rods 23 pull the clamping plates 24 closer to each other under the guidance of the two sets of first guide parts 25, until multiple glass plates are clamped.

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the translation mechanism 3 includes a first motor 31 connected to the top of the frame 11 and a moving part 32. The moving part 32 is slidably connected to the top of the frame 11. A first lead screw 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 31. One end of the first lead screw 33 is rotatably connected to the frame 11. The moving part 32 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 33. A movable frame 34 is connected to the bottom of the moving part 32.

[0040] The first motor 31 is started, which drives the first lead screw 33 to rotate. The rotation of the first lead screw 33 drives the moving part 32 to move left and right on the top of the frame 11. The left and right movement of the frame 11 drives the movable frame 34 to move left and right. The movement of the movable frame 34 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to move, so that the multiple pieces of glass held by the clamping mechanism 2 are close to the placement mechanism 6.

[0041] Two sets of first connecting rods 23 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the movable frame 34. Both clamping plates 24 are located inside the movable frame 34. The first automatic telescopic part 21 is connected to the top of the movable frame 34 and passes through the top of the movable frame 34.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the dispersing mechanism 4 includes two elastic bands 42, two guide frames 43, and two pulling components 44. The elastic bands 42 are made of rubber material. The two pulling components 44 are slidably connected to the two guide frames 43 and connected to the two elastic bands 42 respectively. The guide frame 43 has a horizontal section 431 and an arc section 4311. The arc section 4311 on the two guide frames 43 is arranged in a V shape, and the distance between the two arc sections 4311 gradually increases from right to left. The single elastic band 42, guide frame 43, and pulling component 44 located on the same side form a group, and there are two groups in total. The pulling component 44 can stretch the elastic band 42 to increase the length of the elastic band 42.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the pulling assembly 44 includes a second connecting part 442 and a first connecting part 441 connected to the left and right ends of the elastic band 42, and a second movable part 444 and a first movable part 443 slidably connected to the guide frame 43. The second movable part 444 and the first movable part 443 both pass through the slide groove 41 and are respectively connected to the second connecting part 442 and the first connecting part 441. A second automatic telescopic part 445 is connected between the second movable part 444 and the first movable part 443. The second automatic telescopic part 445 is a cylinder with the telescopic end facing to the left. The right end of the second automatic telescopic part 445 is movably connected to the first movable part 443, and the telescopic end of the second automatic telescopic part 445 is movably connected to the second movable part 444.

[0044] When the two clamping plates 24 are close together to clamp multiple pieces of glass, the two elastic bands 42 are in close contact with the front and rear sides of the multiple pieces of glass respectively. The second automatic telescopic part 445 is activated, which drives the first movable part 443 and the second movable part 444 to move away from each other on the horizontal section 431 of the guide frame 43. The first movable part 443 and the second movable part 444 move away from each other, which also drives the first connecting part 441 and the second connecting part 442 to move away from each other. At this time, the elastic band 42 is stretched, and the length of the elastic band 42 increases. At the same time, it drives the multiple pieces of glass to separate, so that the two adjacent pieces of glass no longer contact each other. At this time, the two elastic bands 42 still maintain close contact with the front and rear sides of the multiple pieces of glass respectively.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the pushing mechanism 5 includes a second motor 51 and a second lead screw 52 connected to the movable frame 34. The second lead screw 52 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable frame 34. The output shaft of the second motor 51 faces to the right. Gears 55 are connected to the output shaft of the second motor 51 and the right end of the second lead screw 52. The two gears 55 are meshed with each other. A mounting base 53 is threaded onto the second lead screw 52. Two second connecting rods 54 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 53. The ends of the two second connecting rods 54 away from the mounting base 53 are rotatably connected to limit sliding seats. The two limit sliding seats are respectively limited and slidably connected to the two first connecting parts 441.

[0046] When the two elastic bands 42 approach each other, they cause the two first connecting parts 441 to approach each other. At this time, the two second connecting rods 54 rotate in opposite directions. Simultaneously, the two first connecting parts 441 drive the two limiting sliding seats to move downward on the two first connecting parts 441. The second motor 51 is started, driving the two gears 55 to mesh and transmit power, causing the second lead screw 52 to rotate. The rotating second lead screw 52 drives the mounting seat 53 to move to the left. The left-moving mounting seat 53 pushes the two second connecting rods 54 to the left, causing the dispersing mechanism 4 to move to the left. When the two pulling components 44 move to the left onto the arc-shaped section 4311 of the guide frame 43, the distance between the two second connecting parts 442 on the two pulling components 44 gradually increases. At this time, the left ends of the two elastic bands 42 are bent in an arc shape, and the bent parts of the two elastic bands 42 correspond to the arc-shaped section 4311 of the two guide frames 43. At this time, multiple pieces of glass fall off one by one from between the two elastic bands 42 onto the placement mechanism 6. Then, the placement mechanism 6 transports the glass pieces that have fallen off one by one onto the conveyor frame 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the placement mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61 connected to the inner bottom side of the frame 11. The support frame 61 is Z-shaped and has a guide rail 62. A movable part 63 is slidably connected to the guide rail 62. A third automatic telescopic part 64 is rotatably connected to the support frame 61. The third automatic telescopic part 64 is a cylinder. The telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 is rotatably connected to the movable part 63. A support assembly 65 is connected to the movable part 63. The support assembly 65 is used to support the detached glass.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 9 As shown, the support assembly 65 includes a vertical plate 651 connected to the movable part 63. The vertical plate 651 is inclined. Multiple support plates 652 are connected to the top of the vertical plate 651. The multiple support plates 652 are staggered with the multiple drive shafts 12 to avoid collision between the support plates 652 and the protrusions 13 on the drive shafts 12, so as to facilitate the smooth placement of the glass onto the conveyor frame 1. A fixed support part 653 is connected to the right side of the vertical plate 651 for supporting the glass.

[0049] After the glass falls onto the fixed support 653, it adheres to the right side of the vertical plate 651 and the support plate 652. The third automatic telescopic part 64 is activated, and the telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 extends, pushing the movable part 63 to move along the guide rail 62 and flip to the left, thereby causing the vertical plate 651 to gradually change from an inclined state to a horizontal state. After the vertical plate 651 is completely changed to a horizontal state, the multiple support plates 652 intersect with the multiple drive shafts 12 respectively, thereby placing the glass on the protrusion 13 on the outside of the drive shaft 12. The glass is then transported by the conveyor frame 1. Then the third automatic telescopic part 64 is activated, and the telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 retracts, driving the placement mechanism 6 to reset. Finally, the above steps are repeated, and the placement mechanism 6 is activated repeatedly to place multiple pieces of glass onto the conveyor frame 1 for transport.

[0050] In use, the first automatic telescopic part 21 is activated, causing the lifting part 22 to move upward, pulling the first connecting rod 23 upward. This gradually reduces the distance between the lower ends of the two first connecting rods 23, causing the two first connecting rods 23 to pull the clamping plates 24 closer together under the guidance of the two sets of first guide parts 25. When the two clamping plates 24 are close together, they cause the two elastic bands 42 to move closer together, and the two elastic bands 42 make tight contact with the front and rear sides of the multiple glass pieces. Subsequently, the first motor 31 is activated, driving the first lead screw 33 to rotate. Rotation 33 causes the moving part 32 to move left and right on the top of the frame 11. The left and right movement of the frame 11 causes the movable frame 34 to move left and right. The movement of the movable frame 34 causes the clamping mechanism 2 to move, so that the multiple pieces of glass held by the clamping mechanism 2 are close to the placement mechanism 6. Then, the second automatic telescopic part 445 is activated, causing the first movable part 443 and the second movable part 444 to move away from each other on the guide frame 43. The moving away of the first movable part 443 and the second movable part 444 causes the first connecting part 441 and the second connecting part 442 to move away from each other. At this time, the elastic band 42 is stretched, the length of elastic band 42 increases, and at the same time, it causes multiple glass pieces to separate, so that adjacent glass pieces no longer contact each other. Then, the second motor 51 is started to drive the second lead screw 52 to rotate. The rotating second lead screw 52 drives the mounting base 53 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the mounting base 53 drives the two second connecting rods 54. The two second connecting rods 54 respectively push the dispersing mechanism 4 to move to the left. When the two pulling components 44 move to the left onto the arc-shaped section 4311 of the guide frame 43, the two second connecting parts 442 on the two pulling components 44... As the distance between them gradually increases, the left ends of the two elastic bands 42 are bent in an arc shape, and the bent parts of the two elastic bands 42 correspond to the arc segments 4311 of the two guide frames 43. At this time, multiple pieces of glass fall off one by one from between the two elastic bands 42. Then, the glass is transported to the conveyor frame 1 in sequence by the placement mechanism 6. After the glass is placed on the protrusion 13 on the conveyor frame 1, the drive assembly drives multiple transmission shafts 12 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction. When the transmission shafts 12 rotate, they drive the glass to move to the processing step through the protrusion 13.

[0051] In the above embodiments, when the glass falls onto the fixed support 653 of the placement mechanism 6, the bottom of the glass will collide with the top of the fixed support 653, resulting in damage to the bottom of the glass. To overcome the disadvantages of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a second embodiment, which differs from the above embodiments in that the structure of the support component 65 is different.

[0052] like Figures 10 to 13The second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The support assembly 65 includes a fixed support portion 653 connected to the movable member 63. A movable support structure 654 is connected to the top of the fixed support portion 653. The movable support structure 654 includes a movable support portion 6541 disposed above the fixed support portion 653. An elastic telescopic rod 6542 is connected between the bottom of the movable support portion 6541 and the top of the fixed support portion 653. A push rod 6544 is connected to the bottom of the movable support portion 6541. A limiting structure 655 is also connected to the top of the fixed support portion 653. Two sets of second fixed seats 6552 and first fixed seats 6551 arranged left and right are connected to the limiting structure 655. Each set of second fixed seats 6552 and first fixed seats 6551 is provided in multiples. A first rotating shaft 6553 is rotatably connected to the first fixed seat 6551. A short support portion 6556 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 6553. A second rotating shaft 6554 is rotatably connected to the second fixed base 6552. A long support portion 6555 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 6554. Multiple long support portions 6555 and multiple short support portions 6556 are all offset from multiple transmission shafts 12 to avoid the transmission shafts 12. Both the long support portion 6555 and the short support portion 6556 have bent sections with through grooves. The push rod 6544 passes through the through grooves on the long support portion 6555 and the short support portion 6556 in sequence. Flexible pads 6557 are connected to the right side of the long support portion 6555 and the left side of the short support portion 6556 to protect the glass. Grooves 6543 are provided on both the left and right sides of the movable support portion 6541. When the long support portion 6555 and the short support portion 6556 are flipped in opposite directions and move closer to each other, they can be inserted into the grooves 6543 on both sides of the movable support portion 6541, thereby better limiting the glass.

[0053] After the glass detaches from the dispersing mechanism 4, it is supported by the movable support part 6541. At this time, the glass's own weight pushes the movable support part 6541 downward, and the downward-moving movable support part 6541 squeezes the elastic telescopic rod 6542, thereby cushioning the glass and reducing the risk of damage to the bottom of the glass. The downward movement of the movable support part 6541 drives the push rod 6544 downward, which in turn pushes the bent sections of the long support part 6555 and the short support part 6556, causing the two sets of long support parts 6555 and short support parts 6556 to flip in opposite directions. After the flipping is completed, the long support parts 6555 and short support parts 6556 limit the glass, reducing the angle of leftward flipping required when the glass adheres to the long support part 6555, and the flexible pad 6557 protects the glass from damage. When the placement mechanism 6 places the glass onto the protrusion 13 of the conveyor frame 1, the telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 extends, pushing the movable part 63 to slide on the guide rail 62, so that the support assembly 65 is gradually flattened. At this time, the support assembly 65 drives the glass to be placed onto the protrusion 13 on the outside of the drive shaft 12. At this time, the movable support part 6541 is vertical and is no longer squeezed by the gravity of the glass. The movable support part 6541 is pushed to the left by the elastic telescopic rod 6542, and the movable support part 6541 pulls the push rod 6544 to the left. The push rod 6544 pushes the long support part 6555 and the short support part 6556 to open, and the glass is moved to the processing step through the conveyor frame 1. After the glass is conveyed, the telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 retracts, and the placement mechanism 6 is reset.

[0054] In the second embodiment, when the glass falls onto the movable support 6541, the glass is prone to tilting to the right due to shaking. At this time, the short support 6556 cannot provide sufficient support for the glass, and the glass is prone to fall off the support assembly 65 and be damaged. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a third embodiment, which differs from the second embodiment in that the structure of the movable support structure 654 is different.

[0055] like Figure 14 and Figure 15The third embodiment of the present invention is shown. Multiple sets of hinge seats 6549 are connected to the top of the movable support 6541. Each set of hinge seats 6549 consists of two hinge seats. The two hinge seats 6549 in the same set are respectively connected to the top two ends of the movable support 6541. A connecting rod is provided on the upper inner side of each hinge seat 6549. A push plate 6545 is provided above the movable support 6541. Second guide portions 6546 are connected to both ends of the bottom of the push plate 6545. The second guide portions 6546 penetrate the movable support 6541 and are movably connected to it. An elastic element 6548 is connected between the bottom of the push plate 6545 and the top of the movable support 6541. 48 can be a spring, an elastic sheet, or other components with elastic functions. In this embodiment, the elastic element 6548 is a spring. The elastic element 6548 is used to drive the push plate 6545 to reset and further buffer the glass. Multiple sets of clamping elements 6547 are rotatably connected to the push plate 6545. Each set of clamping elements 6547 consists of two elements. The multiple sets of clamping elements 6547 are adapted to multiple sets of hinge seats 6549. The clamping elements 6547 are provided with openings. The connecting rods on the corresponding hinge seats 6549 pass through the openings on the corresponding clamping elements 6547. The two hinge clamping elements 6547 in the same set are arranged in a V-shape, and the distance between the two clamping elements 6547 gradually increases from bottom to top.

[0056] After the glass detaches from the dispersing mechanism 4, it first falls onto the downward movement of the push plate 6545. The downward movement of the push plate 6545 pushes the second guide part 6546 downward and compresses the elastic member 6548. The compression of the elastic member 6548 applies a downward compressive force to the movable support part 6541. At this time, the movable support part 6541 compresses the elastic telescopic rod 6542, thereby buffering the glass. When the push plate 6545 moves downward, it drives the clamping member 6547 to move downward. The clamping member 6547 moves through the opening on the connecting rod on the hinge seat 6549 and flips on the push plate 6545, causing the two clamping members 6547 on the same set of two hinge seats 6549 to flip in opposite directions, thereby clamping the glass. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the movable support part 6541 drives the push rod 6544 downward, which in turn pushes the glass downward. The bending sections of the long support 6555 and the short support 6556 are moved downwards, causing the two sets of long support 6555 and short support 6556 to flip in opposite directions. After the flipping is completed, the long support 6555 and the short support 6556 limit the glass. Finally, the third automatic telescopic part 64 is activated, causing the telescopic end of the third automatic telescopic part 64 to extend and push the movable part 63 to move on the guide rail 62. The guide rail 62 drives the support assembly 65 to flip to the left and gradually flatten it. The support assembly 65 flips to the left and puts the glass onto the conveyor frame 1. When the glass is about to be flattened, the glass squeezes the clamping part 6547 on the left side. The squeezing force on the push plate 6545 decreases, and the elastic part 6548 pushes the push plate 6545 to move, causing the clamping part 6547 to separate from the glass, thus successfully placing the glass onto the conveyor frame 1.
