[0002] With the rapid development of technology, the automotive industry is gradually moving towards the era of intelligence, upgrading from traditional button control to touch screen and voice control. As a result, the LCD central control screen in automotive equipment has become an indispensable component; and other electronic industries are also increasing their demand for cover glass.

[0003] Existing glass cleaning equipment generally adopts a basket-type cleaning process. The glass cleaning basket can adapt to the shape and structure of the glass plate and separate several glass plates to prevent them from colliding, thereby improving the yield of glass plates in the production process.

[0004] However, this basket-type cleaning equipment also has some overlooked defects. During the insertion, cleaning and transfer process, the glass may come into contact with the basket, which can easily cause scratches, chipping, scratch marks and other defects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a glass cleaning device that aims to solve a technical problem: by setting a conveying mechanism above the processing mechanism, and having gripping components corresponding to each functional area in the processing mechanism, when the glass plate moves from one functional area to the next, the adjacent gripping components achieve the handover of the glass plate, thereby ensuring that the glass plate is suspended above the processing mechanism when it is in each functional area. This solves the problem of reducing the contact frequency and contact time between the glass plate and the processing mechanism, thereby improving the quality of the glass plate.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application discloses a glass cleaning apparatus comprising:

[0007] The processing mechanism has several functional areas for cleaning the glass plates; and the conveying mechanism is located above the processing mechanism to move the glass plates from the loading platform through the processing mechanism to the unloading platform.

[0008] The conveying mechanism is equipped with gripping components extending into the processing mechanism above each corresponding functional area. The gripping components between two adjacent functional areas have a handover function so that the glass plate is suspended in the processing mechanism by the corresponding gripping components during cleaning.

[0009] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism further includes:

[0010] The guide component extends in a direction that is compatible with the arrangement of each functional area, and is used to guide the displacement direction of the gripping components; each gripping component is slidably mounted on the guide component.

[0011] In some embodiments, the gripping assembly includes a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm, which are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the guide member, and the second robotic arm is located on the side of the first robotic arm away from the loading table, so that the first robotic arm can transfer the glass plate to the second robotic arm, and the second robotic arm can transfer the glass plate to the gripping assembly of the next functional area by sliding on the guide member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm have the same structure; both the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm include a robotic arm body that is slidably connected to a guide member; and a mounting member that is disposed on the robotic arm body.

[0013] The bottom of the mounting component is equipped with a suction cup for fixing the glass plate by adsorption.

[0014] In some embodiments, the robotic arm body is a first linear module extending toward the processing mechanism, and the mounting component is slidably mounted on the first linear module to adjust the height of the mounting component by sliding.

[0015] In some embodiments, the processing apparatus includes a circulating water tank with a water storage space; the circulating water tank is divided into at least a washing area, a rinsing area and a drying area by means of water barriers.

[0016] In some embodiments, a roller brush assembly and a first delivery pipe assembly are configured in the scrubbing area;

[0017] The roller brush assembly includes a first roller brush mounting base and a second roller brush mounting base installed on the wall of the circulating water tank. Each of the roller brush mounting bases has a set of clamping parts arranged opposite each other. The two sets of clamping parts can move toward each other. The roller brushes are rotatably mounted on the two sets of clamping parts to form a first channel between the two roller brushes for the glass plate to pass through the roller brush assembly. The two roller brushes can form a clamping force to clamp the glass plate under the drive of the two sets of clamping parts.

[0018] The first conveying pipe assembly is installed on the wall of the circulating water tank to convey water stored in the washing area of ​​the circulating water tank. At least two first water spraying components are also provided on the first conveying pipe, and the water spraying direction of each first water spraying component is directed toward the corresponding roller brush.

[0019] In some embodiments, the rinsing area is provided with a spray assembly; the spray assembly includes a second conveying pipe assembly installed on the wall of the circulating water tank for conveying water stored in the rinsing area by the circulating water tank, the second conveying pipe assembly having a second channel through which a glass plate can pass through the spray assembly, and at least two second water spraying components are provided on the second conveying pipe assembly, each second water spraying component being arranged vertically opposite to the other and spraying water in the same direction toward the second channel.

[0020] In some embodiments, a blowing assembly is provided in the drying area; the blowing assembly includes a third conveying pipe group installed on the wall of the circulating water tank for conveying gas generated by the air source in the circulating water tank. The third conveying pipe group has a third channel through which a glass plate can pass through the blowing assembly. At least two air outlet components are provided on the third conveying pipe group, and each air outlet component is arranged vertically opposite to the other and blows air in the same direction toward the third channel.

[0021] In some embodiments, the guide component includes a second linear module and a connecting component slidably mounted on the second linear module; the gripping component is mounted on the connecting component to be able to slide along the extension direction of the second linear module.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, the glass cleaning device disclosed in this application provides a conveying mechanism above the processing mechanism, and the conveying mechanism has gripping components corresponding to each functional area in the processing mechanism. When the glass plate moves from one functional area to the next, the adjacent gripping components realize the handover of the glass plate, so that the glass plate is suspended above the processing mechanism when it is in each functional area. This allows the glass plate to only come into contact with the cleaning medium during the cleaning process, such as the roller brush, pure water, and the air blown out by the blower assembly, thereby reducing excessive contact with the processing mechanism and effectively avoiding defects such as scratches, chipping, and scratch marks caused by scratches on the glass plate.

[0043] All terms used in this application have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0044] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0045] Currently, judging from market trends, electronic devices are being used more and more widely, and the automotive sector is also seeing a surge in demand for them, with increasingly stringent requirements for automotive interior screens. The LCD central control screen is a key component for enhancing the sense of luxury in electronic devices; however, the cleaning process for the glass cover plate on this screen still needs improvement in manufacturing and assembly processes.

[0046] The inventors of this application have discovered that existing cleaning equipment generally uses a basket tray, which can well adapt to the shape of the glass and isolate each glass plate to avoid collisions between finished products. However, due to the overly compact structure of the basket, it is easy to rub against the glass plate, thereby reducing the yield of the glass plate. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a glass cleaning device that can reduce the contact between the glass plate and the cleaning equipment.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a glass cleaning device, which mainly includes a processing mechanism 1, which has several functional areas for cleaning glass plates; and a conveying mechanism, which is arranged above the processing mechanism 1 and is used to move the glass plates from the loading platform 5 through the processing mechanism 1 to the unloading platform 6.

[0048] The conveying mechanism is equipped with gripping components 3 extending into the processing mechanism 1 above each corresponding functional area. The gripping components 3 between two adjacent functional areas have a handover function so that the glass plate is suspended in the processing mechanism 1 by the corresponding gripping components 3 during cleaning.

[0049] The above structure includes a conveying mechanism for transporting glass plates above the processing unit 1. Since the processing unit 1 has several functional areas, it can perform various cleaning steps on the glass plates, such as brushing, rinsing, and drying. The conveying mechanism has gripping components 3 corresponding to each functional area. Each pair of adjacent gripping components 3 has a handover function; that is, the later set of gripping components 3 can receive the glass plates from the previous set. This allows the glass plates to be cleaned sequentially in the processing unit 1 in a suspended manner, reducing contact between the glass plates and the processing unit 1 to avoid scratches and damage, effectively improving the yield of finished glass plates.

[0050] It should be noted that in the technical solution disclosed in this application, the glass plate does not completely avoid contact with the processing mechanism 1. Rather, during the cleaning process, the glass plate only comes into contact with the medium in the processing mechanism 1 that can perform the cleaning steps; for example, the roller brush in the scrubbing function area, the pure water sprayed from the nozzle in the rinsing function area, and the air discharged from the vent in the drying function area.

[0051] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism further includes: a guide component 2, the extension direction of which is adapted to the arrangement structure of each functional area, for guiding the displacement direction of the gripping component 3; each gripping component 3 is slidably mounted on the guide component 2.

[0052] The above structure also includes a guide component 2 in the conveying mechanism. In order to enable the gripping components 3 to perform effective cleaning work according to the cleaning sequence of the processing mechanism 1, the guide component 2 extends along the arrangement structure of each functional area so that the guide component 2 can form guide sections corresponding to different functional areas. Each gripping component 3 is configured on the corresponding guide section so that it can correspond to the corresponding functional area.

[0053] In some embodiments, the gripping assembly 3 includes a first robotic arm 31 and a second robotic arm 32, which are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the guide member 2, and the second robotic arm 32 is disposed on the side of the first robotic arm 31 away from the loading table 5, so that the first robotic arm 31 can transfer the glass plate to the second robotic arm 32, and the second robotic arm 32 can transfer the glass plate to the gripping assembly 3 of the next functional area by sliding on the guide member 2.

[0054] Using the above structure, each gripping assembly 3 can consist of two robotic arms, which are defined as the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 for ease of explanation. The first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 in each gripping assembly 3 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the corresponding guide section on the guide component 2. The second robotic arm 32 can be positioned on the side of the first robotic arm 31 away from the loading table 5. In use, the first robotic arm 31 can grip the glass plate and enter the corresponding functional area. After the glass plate completes the cleaning steps of the corresponding functional area, the second robotic arm 32 grips and fixes the glass plate on the first robotic arm 31. At the same time, the first robotic arm 31 removes its gripping function on the corresponding glass plate to transfer the glass plate to the second robotic arm 32. The second robotic arm 32 and the first robotic arm 31 cooperate to move the glass plate to the next functional area.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 have the same structure; both the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 include: a robotic arm body 301, which is slidably connected to the guide member 2; and a mounting member 302, which is disposed on the robotic arm body 301; wherein, the bottom of the mounting member 302 is provided with a suction cup 303 for fixing the glass plate by adsorption.

[0056] With the above structure, the robotic arm body 301 can be detachably slidably mounted on the guide component 2. The bottom of the mounting component 302 on the robotic arm body 301 is provided with several suction cups 303 arranged in parallel. Each suction cup 303 is corresponding to adsorb a glass plate, so that several glass plates can be adsorbed on one mounting component 302 and the glass plates can be driven to enter the corresponding functional area in parallel.

[0057] In some embodiments, the robotic arm body 301 is a first linear module extending toward the processing mechanism 1, and the mounting component 302 is slidably mounted on the first linear module so as to adjust the height of the mounting component 302 by sliding.

[0058] Using the above structure, the robotic arm body 301 can be a linear module structure, which can be defined as a first linear module in this application. The side wall of the first linear module has a groove extending along its length, and the mounting component 302 can be slidably installed in the groove of the first linear module by embedding. Specifically, the mounting component 302 can be slidably configured on one side of the first linear module by the screw nut cooperating with the groove, so that the mounting component 302 can slide and adjust its height on the first linear module. Thus, by adjusting the height of the mounting component 302, the adsorbed glass plate can be adapted to the cleaning tools in each functional area.

[0059] According to the embodiments provided above, when using the glass cleaning device of this application, several glass plates can be adsorbed into the first functional area, such as the brushing functional area, by a set of gripping components 3 closest to the loading platform 5. The first robotic arm 31 in the gripping component 3 moves the glass plates in the loading platform 5 to the brushing functional area. The first robotic arm 31 adjusts the height of the mounting component 302 through the robotic arm body 301 so that each glass plate adsorbed by the first robotic arm 31 can be adapted to the height of the roller brush 43 in the brushing functional area. After the first robotic arm 31 drives each glass plate to be brushed by the roller brush 43, the second robotic arm 32 docks with each glass plate. The suction cup 303 on the first robotic arm 31 removes the adsorption effect and releases the glass plate, so that the second robotic arm 32 assists each glass plate to detach from the roller brush 43 and complete the brushing step. When the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32 are switching, the first robotic arm 31 can grab the glass plate in the middle and rear section, while the second robotic arm 32 can occupy the glass plate in the middle and front section, so as to achieve the switching in the same functional area.

[0060] When facing the transfer operation between different functional areas, since the second robotic arm 32 has already gripped the middle and front section of the glass plate, it is inconvenient to directly transfer with the first robotic arm 31 in the next set of gripping components 3. Therefore, the first robotic arm 31 in the previous set of gripping components 3 is still needed to cooperate to complete the transfer.

[0061] The specific steps are as follows:

[0062] When the glass plate completes the initial washing step, the second robotic arm 32 corresponding to the washing functional area grips the front-middle section of the glass plate. Before sending the glass plate to the next functional area, the first robotic arm 31 in the washing functional area, after height adjustment, moves to the rear-middle section of the glass plate to grip it. Then, the second robotic arm 32 removes the suction cup 303 and closely adheres to the first robotic arm 31, allowing space above the front-middle section of the glass plate. Thus, through the synchronous movement of the first robotic arm 31 and the second robotic arm 32, the glass plate is transferred to the next functional area, corresponding to the next functional area. The first robotic arm 31 of the area grabs the front middle section of the glass plate. The first robotic arm 31 of the previous functional area moves out of the adsorption function and returns to the loading table 5 to pick up the material. The second robotic arm 32, located between the two first robotic arms 31, adsorbs the rear middle section of the glass plate. The first robotic arm 31 of the next functional area moves out of the adsorption function and moves to the rear of the cleaning tool in the corresponding functional area to prepare for the transfer work. The second robotic arm 32 sends the glass plate it has adsorbed into the cleaning tool in the next functional area. Each functional area can be transferred in this way to complete the step of handing over the glass plate between adjacent functional areas.

[0063] In some embodiments, the processing unit 1 includes a circulating water tank 11 with a water storage space;

[0064] The circulating water tank 11 is divided into at least one washing area, one rinsing area and one drying area by means of water barriers.

[0065] With the above structure, the circulating water tank 11 of this application is used to store water after brushing or rinsing. Since a water filtration system is provided in the circulating water tank 11, the water in the circulating water tank 11 can be recycled to achieve the purpose of saving water. The water filtration system consists of at least a water pump and a filter. The water pump is used to push water into the filter and finally deliver it to the drain pipe, while the filter is used to clean impurities and dirt in the water so that the water sprayed on the glass plate or roller brush 43 has a certain degree of cleanliness.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, the circulating water tank 11 forms at least one washing area, at least one rinsing area and at least one drying area by blocking different water areas. It should be noted that multiple sets of different functional areas can be set up to repeatedly perform various functions of cleaning.

[0067] In some embodiments, a roller brush assembly 4 and a first delivery pipe assembly are configured in the brushing area;

[0068] The roller brush assembly 4 includes a first roller brush mounting base 41 and a second roller brush mounting base 42 mounted on the wall of the circulating water tank 11. Each of the roller brushes has a set of clamping parts arranged vertically opposite each other. The two sets of clamping parts can move towards each other. The roller brushes 43 are rotatably mounted on the two sets of clamping parts to form a first channel between the two roller brushes 43 for the glass plate to pass through the roller brush assembly 4. The two roller brushes 43 can form a clamping force to clamp the glass plate under the drive of the two sets of clamping parts. A first conveying pipe assembly is mounted on the wall of the circulating water tank 11 for conveying water stored in the washing area of ​​the circulating water tank 11. At least two first water spraying components are also provided on the first conveying pipe, and the water spraying direction of each first water spraying component is directed toward the corresponding roller brush 43.

[0069] With the above structure, when the glass plate passes through the first channel via the gripping component 3, the two roller brushes 43 can brush both sides of the glass plate. The first roller brush mounting base 41 and the second roller brush mounting base 42 can control the clamping force of the clamping part through a servo motor. In order for the roller brushes 43 to effectively brush the glass plate, the first conveying pipe group can spray the water stored in the brushing area on the circulating water tank 11 onto the roller brushes 43 through the first water spraying component, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the roller brushes 43. While being able to clean both sides of the glass plate, it also adapts to the handover function of the gripping component 3 proposed in the above embodiment.

[0070] In some embodiments, the rinsing area is equipped with a spray assembly;

[0071] The spray assembly includes a second conveying pipe assembly installed on the wall of the circulating water tank 11 for conveying water stored in the rinsing area of ​​the circulating water tank 11. The second conveying pipe assembly has a second channel through which a glass plate can pass through the spray assembly, and at least two second water spraying components are provided on the second conveying pipe assembly. Each second water spraying component is arranged vertically opposite to the other and sprays water in the same direction toward the second channel.

[0072] With the above structure, the second conveying pipe group is composed of drain pipes arranged at intervals along the upper and lower sides to form a second channel between the upper and lower drain pipes. A second water spraying component is provided on the upper and lower drain pipes, and the water spraying direction of the second water spraying component is set to face the second channel. Thus, when the glass plate passes through the second channel through the gripping component 3, the glass plate can be rinsed with pure water in the second conveying pipe group. The second channel can also be adapted to the handover function in the gripping component 3.

[0073] In some embodiments, a blowing assembly is provided in the drying area;

[0074] The blowing assembly includes a third conveying pipe assembly installed on the wall of the circulating water tank 11 for conveying gas generated by the air source in the circulating water tank 11. The third conveying pipe assembly has a third channel through which a glass plate can pass through the blowing assembly. At least two air outlet components are provided on the third conveying pipe assembly. Each air outlet component is arranged vertically opposite to the other and the blowing direction is the same towards the third channel.

[0075] With the above structure, the third conveying pipe group in the blowing assembly has the same layout as the second conveying pipe group, thus forming a third channel. However, the conveying medium in the third conveying pipe group differs from that in the second conveying pipe group. The third conveying pipe group conveys flowing air, i.e., wind, for drying the glass plate. An air source, which can be a fan or other device capable of creating gas flow, is also provided in the drying area. The third conveying pipe group is connected to the air source and has several air outlet components. The air blowing direction of each air outlet component is towards the third channel, so that when the glass plate passes through the third channel via the gripping assembly 3, the water droplets on the glass plate can be dried. In one embodiment, the blowing assembly can also be equipped with a heating component, which can be an electric heating wire installed in the fan, so that the air blown by the fan has a certain temperature, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the water droplets on the glass plate.

[0076] In some embodiments, the guide component 2 includes a second linear module 21 and a connecting component 22 slidably mounted on the second linear module 21;

[0077] The gripping component 3 is mounted on the connecting part 22 so that it can slide along the extension direction of the second linear module 21.

[0078] Using the above structure, the guide component 2 can be composed of a linear module and a connecting component 22 slidably connected to the linear module. The connecting component 22 is used to realize the connection structure between the guide component 2 and the robotic arm body 301. The linear module in the guide component 2 can be defined as a second linear module 21. The second linear module 21 and the connecting component 22 can be connected by a groove on the side wall of the linear module. Alternatively, the screw head can be embedded in the groove to slide along the extension direction of the groove. Since the screw head limiting is more delicate than the sliding structure of the sleeve method, the gripping component 3 is more stable when sliding on the second linear module 21 through the connecting component 22, and the gripping component 3 is less likely to shake during movement.
