Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production technology, and in particular to a glass handling cage. Background Technology

[0002] In existing glass production lines, glass handling cages are often used to transfer glass vertically from one process to the next.

[0003] However, in actual use, the glass handling cage can only transfer glass on production lines arranged in the same direction. For production lines in two different directions (for example, one production line is arranged in the east-west direction and the other in the north-south direction), at least two sets of glass handling cages are required. Furthermore, the two production lines cannot overlap, which greatly increases the floor space occupied by the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a sheet-grinding cage.

[0005] The present invention proposes a glass handling cage, comprising a cage body, a plurality of parallel first channels arranged in the cage body, and a plurality of parallel second channels arranged in the cage body. The first channels and the second channels are arranged perpendicularly, and any first channel passes through all the second channels, and any second channel passes through all the first channels. The cage body is also provided with a first transmission component that supports and drives the glass to enter and exit any first channel and a second transmission component that drives the glass to enter and exit any second channel.

[0006] Preferably, the first transmission component includes a first transmission section and a second transmission section connected along the length of the first channel. The first transmission section is located on the inlet side of the first channel, and the second transmission section is located on the outlet side of the first channel. The glass on the first transmission section can be transmitted to the second transmission section.

[0007] Preferably, the first transmission section, the second transmission section, and the second transmission component have the same transmission stroke.

[0008] Preferably, the first transmission unit includes a first transmission unit corresponding to each of the multiple first channels. The first transmission unit includes multiple first-type drive wheels, which are arranged at equal height intervals along the length of the first channel. The first transmission unit also includes a first power source for driving the multiple first-type drive wheels in the first transmission unit to rotate synchronously.

[0009] Preferably, the second transmission unit includes a second transmission unit corresponding to each of the multiple first channels. The second transmission unit includes multiple second-type drive wheels, which are arranged at equal height intervals along the length of the first channel. The second transmission unit also includes a second power source for driving the multiple second-type drive wheels in the second transmission unit to rotate synchronously.

[0010] Preferably, the second transmission component includes a third transmission unit corresponding to each of the multiple second channels. The third transmission unit includes multiple third-type drive wheels, which are arranged at equal height intervals along the length of the second channel. The third transmission unit also includes a third power source for driving the multiple third-type drive wheels in the second transmission component to rotate synchronously.

[0011] Preferably, the first transmission unit further includes multiple parallel first-type rotating shafts, the length direction of the first-type rotating shafts being arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the first channel, the multiple first-type rotating shafts being coaxially fixed with multiple first-type drive wheels located in the first channel, and the multiple first-type rotating shafts being synchronously driven by the first power source so that the first power source can drive all the first-type drive wheels to rotate synchronously.

[0012] Preferably, the second transmission unit further includes multiple parallel second-type rotating shafts, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the length direction of the first channel. The multiple second-type rotating shafts are coaxially fixed to multiple second-type drive wheels located in the first channel, and the multiple first-type rotating shafts are synchronously driven by the second power source so that the second power source can drive all the second-type drive wheels to rotate synchronously.

[0013] Preferably, the second transmission component further includes multiple parallel-arranged third-type rotating shafts, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the length direction of the second channel. The multiple third-type rotating shafts are coaxially fixed to multiple third-type drive wheels located in the second channel, and all the multiple third-type rotating shafts are synchronously driven by a third power source so that the third power source can drive all the third-type drive wheels to rotate synchronously.

[0014] Preferably, the first type of drive wheel, the second type of drive wheel, and the third type of drive wheel are coplanar for supporting the glass bearing surfaces. The diameters of the first type of drive wheel and the second type of drive wheel are equal and smaller than the diameter of the third type of drive wheel. The third type of shaft is located below the first type of shaft and the second type of shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the first type of drive wheel, the second type of drive wheel, and the third type of drive wheel are coplanar for supporting the glass bearing surfaces. The diameters of the first type of drive wheel and the second type of drive wheel are equal and larger than the diameter of the third type of drive wheel. The third type of rotating shaft is located above the first type of rotating shaft and the second type of rotating shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the cage has multiple vertically fixed uprights, which are arranged in a rectangular array, forming a first channel between adjacent columns of uprights and a second channel between adjacent rows of uprights.

[0017] The glass handling cage proposed in this invention allows glass on one production line to be transferred and stored via a first channel on the cage, while glass on the production line in the other direction can be transferred and stored via a second channel on the cage. The arrangement of the first and second channels allows the two production lines to overlap at the transfer station, reducing production line costs while also minimizing the footprint of the two production lines.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 The present invention proposes a glass handling cage, comprising a cage body 1, wherein the cage body 1 has multiple parallel first channels 11 and multiple parallel second channels 12. The first channels 11 and the second channels 12 are arranged perpendicularly, and any first channel 11 passes through all second channels 12, and any second channel 12 passes through all first channels 11. The cage body 1 is also provided with a first transmission component that supports and drives the glass to enter and exit any first channel 11 and a second transmission component that drives the glass to enter and exit any second channel 12.

[0024] In use, glass delivered from upstream equipment of a production line in one direction (e.g., east-west) enters the first channel 11 through the inlet side for transfer, while glass delivered from upstream equipment of a production line in another direction (e.g., north-south) enters the second channel 12 through the inlet side for transfer. The two production lines can be arranged in a cross shape, reducing the floor space occupied by the production lines. The same glass handling cage can meet the transfer needs of two production lines in different directions, improving the utilization rate of the glass handling cage and saving costs.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the first transmission component includes a first transmission part and a second transmission part connected along the length direction of the first channel 11. The first transmission part is located on the inlet side of the first channel 11, and the second transmission part is located on the outlet side of the first channel 11. The glass on the first transmission part can be transmitted to the second transmission part.

[0026] After the glass enters the first channel 11 through the inlet side, the first transmission unit can transfer the glass to the second transmission unit for storage. When it is necessary to send the glass stored in the first channel 11 out, the second transmission unit will drive the glass to be sent out through the output side of the first channel 11.
