[0060] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a glass conveyor, which is intended to solve the problems arising from the above-mentioned background technology.

[0063] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: A glass conveyor comprising:

[0066] The conveyor belt 12 is connected between adjacent conveyor rollers 11 and can be driven by the conveyor rollers 11;

[0067] Among them, a plurality of conveyor belts 12 form a conveying area for conveying glass. In this embodiment, the conveying area includes a first conveying area 21, a second conveying area 22, and a turning area 23 arranged between the first conveying area 21 and the second conveying area 22, and a turning mechanism is provided in the turning area, wherein the turning mechanism includes:

[0068] The flip body 30 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10;

[0069] The clamping groove 31 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the flip body 30 and is for one side of the glass to be clamped in;

[0070] A clamping assembly for fixing the glass is provided in the clamping groove 31 . The clamping assembly can clamp the glass when the glass enters the clamping groove 31 and release the glass when the glass leaves the clamping groove 31 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes:

[0072] The movable groove is provided on the groove wall of the clamping groove 31, and the dead fox itself is provided on one side of the groove wall of the bottom of the clamping groove 31. If necessary, it can also be provided on both sides of the groove wall of the clamping groove 31;

[0073] The airbag body 32 is installed in the movable groove;

[0074] The clamping block 33 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the movable groove;

[0075] An inflation branch for supplying air to each airbag 32 is formed in the flip body 30 , and an air injection valve 35 connected to the airbag 32 via an air release branch 34 is provided at the bottom of the clamping groove 31 .

[0092] In this embodiment, a supporting structure is provided on the mating surface of the telescopic body 51 and the telescopic slot 50, wherein the supporting structure includes:

[0093] The support body 70 is disposed in a support groove 71 formed in the telescopic body 51;

[0094] A support spring 72 is connected between the support body 70 and the support groove 71;

[0095] One end of the support body 70 can be exposed from the first dust suction hole 541 .

[0096] In this embodiment, a rolling groove 73 is provided at one end of the support body 70 away from the support spring 72 , and a ball 74 is provided in the rolling groove 73 and partially exposed from the rolling groove 73 .

[0097] In this embodiment, a limiting structure is provided at any end of the body 300, wherein the limiting structure includes:

[0098] The base 80 is mounted on any end of the body 300;

[0099] an air cavity formed on the base;

[0105] In this embodiment, a flow divider 93 is provided at the air jet port 91 , and a plurality of flow divider cavities are formed between the flow divider 93 and the inner wall of the air jet port 91 .

[0106] refer to Figure 4-6 In order to ensure the cleanliness of the glass during transportation, a dust collecting structure for removing dust from the glass is provided in the flip body. The glass is cleaned while being flipped. In more detail:

[0107] refer to Figure 5-6 When the glass enters the clamping groove, it enters the clamping groove under the guidance of the positioning wheel (in order to prevent the glass from being worn in the clamping groove, a support body is provided in this embodiment. When the ball bearings on the support body come into contact with the glass, the wear of the glass can be reduced or avoided). After the glass enters the clamping groove, the air pump is started to inflate the airbag. In addition to controlling the clamping block to clamp the glass, the airbag can also drive the telescopic body to move outward, thereby connecting the first dust suction hole and the second dust suction hole. When the dust suction pump is started, the glass in the clamping groove can be dusted through the first dust suction hole and the second dust suction hole.

[0108] It should be noted that:

[0109] The balls on the support body allow the glass to enter the clamping groove. After the clamping block clamps the glass, the two sides of the glass are fixed by the positioning wheels and the clamping block, thereby separating from the two side walls of the clamping groove. Therefore, when the first dust suction hole and the second dust suction hole are used to remove dust from the clamping groove, the glass will not be adsorbed on the groove wall of the clamping groove.

[0110] In addition, in order to further improve the dust removal effect and prevent the glass from falling out of the clamping groove when turning over, this embodiment is further provided with a limiting structure. When the glass enters the clamping groove, the air pump supplies air into the air inlet chamber (closes the exhaust valve), so that the air pressure in the air inlet chamber increases, and drives the sliding plate to move to the side close to the clamping groove, and makes the limiting plate located at the notch position of the clamping groove until the exhaust port is connected with the air inlet chamber during the movement of the sliding plate, so that the airflow in the air inlet chamber enters the air jet chamber and is sprayed toward the clamping groove through the air jet port. Therefore, this embodiment can form an airflow flowing into the clamping groove from the notch of the clamping groove, and extract air through the dust suction holes on both sides of the clamping groove, thereby improving the dust suction effect on the glass. At the same time, the limiting plate can also prevent the glass from leaving the clamping groove.

[0111] Furthermore, the flow divider provided at the air jet outlet in this embodiment can increase the coverage area of ​​the air jet, so that the air jet can flow to more locations, thereby better removing dust from the glass.

[0112] When the air intake chamber is intermittently supplied with air by the air pump, after the air intake chamber is connected with the exhaust port, the gas in the air intake chamber is discharged, and the sliding plate is controlled by the limit spring to move toward the air intake chamber, and the exhaust port is separated from the air intake chamber. After the air intake chamber is supplied with air, the air pressure in the air intake chamber increases, and the exhaust port and the air intake chamber are connected again. During this process, the limit plate is controlled to move and sprays air into the clamping groove at the same time. During the movement, the area of ​​air flow distribution is expanded, thereby improving the dust removal effect.

[0113] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
