[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1.

[0025] 2. The vacuum glass support device of the present invention, by setting an adsorption mechanism, uses a suction cup, a T-shaped rod, a fixing plate, a folding bladder, and an air tube to adsorb and fix the vacuum glass, thereby preventing the vacuum glass from shifting in position when the main body of the device moves, and improving the stability of the long plate supporting the vacuum glass.

[0026] 3. The vacuum glass support device of the present invention, through the cooperation of T-shaped rod, L-shaped pressure plate, L-shaped connecting plate and water bag, drives the water in the water bag to be transmitted through the hose to the U-shaped nozzle and sprayed out. The U-shaped nozzle sprays water on the surface of vacuum glass, thereby making the water form a watertight around the suction cup, which improves the stability of the suction cup adhering to the vacuum glass.

[0027] 4. The vacuum glass support device of the present invention, by setting a positioning and centering mechanism, through the cooperation of threaded rod, U-shaped column and swing assembly, the two cylinders in the two swing assemblies push the vacuum glass to move towards the middle position of the device body, centering the vacuum glass inside the device body, thereby increasing the stability of the entire device body and reducing the possibility of the vacuum glass tilting or moving during the movement; at the same time, the cooperation of long plate, moving block, arc groove, sliding plate, cylinder, collar and friction wheel reduces the friction between the collar and the outer wall of the vacuum glass, avoiding the problem of the cylinder directly rubbing against the outer wall of the vacuum glass, which would cause damage to the edge of the vacuum glass.

[0036] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vacuum glass support device, including a device body 1. The device body 1 is a hollow structure with an opening on one side, the side with the opening being the front side. A rectangular groove is provided on the back side of the device body 1 near the bottom. Rollers are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the device body 1 for easy movement.

[0038] Specifically, a strip-shaped groove is formed on the top of the main body 1 along its length. A screw 2 corresponding to the strip-shaped groove is rotatably mounted on the top of the main body 1. Support plates are fixed on both sides of the top of the main body 1. The screw 2 is rotatably connected between the two support plates. A moving block 3 that slides with the strip-shaped groove is threaded onto the screw 2. A motor for driving the screw 2 to rotate is mounted on the top of the main body 1. The output shaft of the motor passes through a support plate and is connected to the screw 2. A support mechanism 4 is provided inside the main body 1. The support mechanism 4 is used to support the vacuum glass to be processed placed inside the main body 1, so as to facilitate its movement to the next processing step.

[0039] The support mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped plate 41, a crossbar 42, and a long plate 43. The L-shaped plate 41 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the main body 1 and is arranged along the width direction of the main body 1. The crossbar 42 passes through the bottom plate 411 of the L-shaped plate 41 and is connected to the inner walls on both sides of the main body 1. The long plate 43 is located inside the main body 1 and corresponds to the L-shaped plate 41. The long plate 43 has an inverted L-shaped structure and is vertically arranged. At least two T-shaped positioning rods 44 are laterally slidably arranged on the long plate 43 near the bottom. 4. The T-shaped positioning rod 44 is perpendicular to and slidably engaged with the long plate 43. The head of the T-shaped positioning rod 44 is located on the side away from the L-shaped plate 41 and on the upper semi-arc plate 45 of the L-shaped plate 41. The moving block 3 passes through the strip groove and connects to the long plate 43. The long plate 43 is slidably engaged with the crossbar 42, and the rod part of the T-shaped positioning rod 44 passes through the long plate 43 and connects to the semi-arc plate 45. The T-shaped positioning rod 44 and the crossbar 42 are parallel to each other. In this embodiment, there are two crossbars 42. In other embodiments of the present invention, there may be only one crossbar 42. The long plate 43 is provided with through holes that match the size of the crossbar 42 and the T-shaped positioning rod 44. A first spring connects the semi-arc plate 45 and the long plate 43. In this embodiment, there are two sets of first springs, and the two sets of first springs are respectively sleeved on the two T-shaped positioning rods 44. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first springs may be provided as one set, and one set of first springs only needs to be sleeved on one of the T-shaped positioning rods 44. Furthermore, the top of the vertical plate 412 of the L-shaped plate 41 is chamfered, the length of the semi-arc plate 45 matches the length of the L-shaped plate 41, and the arc surface of the semi-arc plate 45 is located on the side close to the L-shaped plate 41. This arrangement can prevent scratches on the surface of the vacuum glass.

[0040] In use, the vacuum glass is inserted into the main body 1 of the device, so that the vacuum glass is inserted between the L-shaped plate 41 and the long plate 43. The screw 2 is driven by the motor to rotate, and the screw 2 drives the moving block 3 to slide left and right along the strip groove of the main body 1, thereby moving the long plate 43 left and right along the crossbar 42 and changing the distance between the long plate 43 and the L-shaped plate 41 to accommodate vacuum glass of different specifications. At the same time, when the bottom of the vacuum glass is placed on the L-shaped plate 41, under the action of the two T-shaped positioning rods 44, the T-shaped positioning rods 44 can slide along the long plate 43. The outer wall of the vacuum glass will first contact the arc surface of the semi-arc plate 45. The semi-arc plate 45 drives the vacuum glass to move towards the long plate 43. Under the action of the first spring, the semi-arc plate 45 clamps the vacuum glass at the L-shaped plate 41, thereby improving the stability of the L-shaped plate 41 in supporting the vacuum glass. At the same time, the first spring also plays a buffering role.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, in order to prevent the vacuum glass inside the device body 1 from shifting when it moves, an adsorption mechanism 5 for adsorbing and fixing the vacuum glass is provided in the middle of the long plate 43; the adsorption mechanism 5 improves the stability of the long plate 43 in supporting the vacuum glass.

[0042] Specifically, the adsorption mechanism 5 includes a T-shaped rod 51, a suction cup 52, a fixing plate 53, a folded capsule 54, and an air tube 55. The T-shaped rod 51 is vertically inserted through the middle of the long plate 43 and slides in cooperation with the long plate 43. The head of the T-shaped rod 51 is located on the long plate 43 and on the side away from the L-shaped plate 41. The suction cup 52 is hinged to the end of the straight rod of the T-shaped rod 51 and on the side close to the L-shaped plate 41. A torsion spring is provided between the suction cup 52 and the rod of the T-shaped rod 51, so that when the vacuum glass is placed between the L-shaped plate 41 and the long plate 43, the suction cup 52 can adjust its angle under the action of the torsion spring and... The outer surface of the vacuum glass is in close contact with the surrounding surface. A fixing plate 53 is fixedly connected to the side of the head of the T-shaped rod 51, specifically on the front or rear side, top or bottom side. A folding capsule 54 is connected between the fixing plate 53 and the side wall of the long plate 43. An air tube 55 is connected between the suction cup 52 and the folding capsule 54. The long plate 43 also has a first through hole for the air tube 55 to pass through. The air tube 55 passes through the long plate 43 and connects to both the suction cup 52 and the folding capsule 54. A second spring connects the head of the T-shaped rod 51 to the long plate 43. With this configuration, when the T-shaped rod 51 moves along the long plate 43, it moves the fixing plate 53, which in turn stretches the folding capsule 54. This causes the folding capsule 54 to generate suction at the suction cup 52 via the air tube 55. The suction cup 52 then adheres to and fixes the vacuum glass, thus preventing the vacuum glass from shifting position when the main body 1 of the device moves. In this embodiment, two fixing plates 53 are provided, and are respectively fixed to the front and rear sides of the head of the T-shaped rod 51. The number of folding bags 54 and air tubes 55 corresponds one-to-one with the number of fixing plates 53. Furthermore, the sidewall of the long plate 43 is provided with coaxial square grooves and square holes along its thickness direction. Both the square grooves and square holes are located in the middle of the long plate 43. The square groove is located on the side near the suction cup 52 and is used to accommodate the suction cup 52. The size of the square hole matches the size of the straight rod of the T-shaped rod 51, thereby facilitating the passage of the T-shaped rod 51.

[0043] The adsorption mechanism 5 further includes an L-shaped pressure plate 56, an L-shaped connecting plate 57, a water bladder 58, a spiral nozzle 59, and a flexible hose 510. The L-shaped pressure plate 56 is fixedly connected to the top side of the head of the T-shaped rod 51 and adjacent to the fixed plate 53. The L-shaped connecting plate 57 is connected to the side wall of the long plate 43 and opposite to the L-shaped pressure plate 56. The water bladder 58 is connected between the L-shaped pressure plate 56 and the L-shaped connecting plate 57. The spiral nozzle 59 is connected to the suction cup 52, and the shape of the spiral nozzle 59 corresponds to the shape of the adsorption port of the suction cup 52. A tube 510 connects the water bladder 58 and the loop nozzle 59. A second through hole is provided on the long plate 43 to facilitate the passage of the flexible tube 510. The flexible tube 510 passes through the long plate 43 and communicates with both the water bladder 58 and the loop nozzle 59. An L-shaped connecting plate 57 and an L-shaped pressure plate 56 are located on the same side, with the L-shaped pressure plate 56 located below the L-shaped connecting plate 57. The vertical plate of the L-shaped pressure plate 56 is opposite to the vertical plate of the L-shaped connecting plate 57, creating a compression chamber between the L-shaped pressure plate 56 and the L-shaped connecting plate 57 for compressing the water bladder 58. In this embodiment, both the folded bladder 54 and the water bladder 58 are made of corrugated tubing. When the T-shaped rod 51 moves along the direction of the long plate 43, it will also drive the L-shaped pressure plate 56 to move. Then, the L-shaped pressure plate 56 and the L-shaped connecting plate 57 will work together to squeeze the water bag 58, so that the water in the water bag 58 is transmitted through the hose 510 to the loop nozzle 59 and sprayed out. The loop nozzle 59 sprays water onto the surface of the vacuum glass, and the water forms a watertight around the suction cup 52, thereby improving the stability of the suction cup 52 adhering to the vacuum glass.

[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a positioning and centering mechanism 6 for centering the vacuum glass; the positioning and centering mechanism 6 includes a threaded rod 61, a forward and reverse motor, a U-shaped column 62, and a swing assembly 63. The threaded rod 61 is rotatably disposed on one side outer wall of the device body 1 and arranged along the height direction of the device body 1. The forward and reverse motor is disposed on the outer side wall of the device body 1 and is used to drive the threaded rod 61 to rotate. Specifically, two connecting support plates are respectively provided from top to bottom on one side wall of the device body 1. One connecting support plate is located at the bottom of the side wall of the device body 1, and the other connecting support plate is located in the middle of the side wall of the device body 1. The threaded rod 61 is rotatably connected between the two connecting support plates. The output shaft of the forward and reverse motor passes through one connecting support plate and is connected to the threaded rod 61; the U-shaped column 63... 2. The U-shaped column 62 is arranged along the width direction of the main body 1 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 61 and slides in contact with the side wall of the main body 1. The main body 1 has two vertical grooves on the side wall where the threaded rod 61 is located. The two ends of the U-shaped column 62 slide in contact with the two grooves respectively. The two swing components 63 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the main body 1 and are located near the bottom of the main body 1. The two swing components 63 are located on the front and rear sides of the main body 1 and are symmetrical to each other. The two ends of the U-shaped column 62 pass through the side wall of the main body 1 and slide in contact with the two swing components 63 respectively. The front and rear sides of the long plate 43 are respectively provided with arc grooves 431 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the two swing components 63. In this embodiment, the front side is the side close to the opening of the main body 1, and the rear side is the back side of the main body 1, that is, the side with the rectangular groove.

[0045] The swing assembly 63 includes swing rods 631 that are hinged to the inner walls of both sides of the main body 1 and are symmetrical to each other, and a cylinder 632 connected between the ends of the two swing rods 631. One end of the swing rod 631 is hinged to the inner side wall of the main body 1 near the bottom. The cylinder 632 is located on the outer side of the main body 1. In this embodiment, one cylinder 632 is located on the outer edge of the bottom front side of the main body 1, and the other is located on the outer edge of the bottom back side of the main body 1. The outer wall of the swing rod 631 near the U-shaped cylinder 62 is provided with a groove along the length direction, and the end of the U-shaped cylinder 62 passes through the side wall of the main body 1 and is slidably connected to the groove on the swing rod 631. The arc groove 431 corresponds to the movement trajectory of the cylinder 632.

[0046] The positioning and centering mechanism 6 also includes a sliding plate 64, a friction wheel 65, and a sleeve 66. The sliding plate 64 is fitted onto the outer wall of the cylinder 632 and slides in engagement with the arc groove 431. The bottom inner wall of the arc groove 431 has an arc-shaped groove that slides in engagement with the sliding plate 64. The friction wheel 65 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sliding plate 64 and fitted onto the outside of the cylinder 632. The friction wheel 65 rotates in engagement with the sliding plate 64 through a shaft hole, and a circular hole with a diameter matching that of the cylinder 632 is formed in the middle of the friction wheel 65. The sleeve 66 is fitted onto the outer wall of the cylinder 632 and connected to one side of the friction wheel 65. The sleeve 66 is located near the L-shaped plate 41, and the friction wheel 65 contacts the inner wall of the arc groove 431. Both the inner wall of the arc groove 431 and the outer wall of the friction wheel 65 are roughened surfaces.

[0047] Preferably, at least one L-shaped plate 41 is provided, and the number of long plates 43 corresponds one-to-one with the number of L-shaped plates 41. The number of moving blocks 3 and semi-circular plates 45 also corresponds one-to-one with the number of long plates 43. This allows for the support and movement of multiple vacuum glass units. Furthermore, the number of adsorption mechanisms 5 corresponds one-to-one with the number of long plates 43, and the number of sliding plates 64, friction wheels 65, and sleeves 66 in the positioning and centering mechanism 6 also corresponds one-to-one with the number of long plates 43.

[0048] In use, the vacuum glass support device of the present invention inserts the vacuum glass between the L-shaped plate 41 and the long plate 43 within the main body 1 of the device. A motor drives the screw 2 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the moving block 3 and the long plate 43, moves the long plate 43 left and right along the crossbar 42, thereby changing the distance between the long plate 43 and the L-shaped plate 41 and accommodating vacuum glass of different sizes. With the cooperation of the T-shaped positioning rod 44, the semi-circular plate 45, and the first spring, the semi-circular plate 45 clamps the vacuum glass at the L-shaped plate 41, thus improving the stability of the L-shaped plate 41 in supporting the vacuum glass.

[0049] During the placement of the vacuum glass between the long plate 43 and the L-shaped plate 41, the outer surface of the vacuum glass abuts against the suction cup 52, causing the T-shaped rod 51 to move towards the long plate 43. Under the action of the torsion spring, the T-shaped rod 51 pushes the suction cup 52 into close contact with the outer wall of the vacuum glass. Simultaneously, as the T-shaped rod 51 moves towards the long plate 43, it drives the fixing plate 53 to move synchronously. The fixing plate 53 stretches the folding capsule 54, which generates suction at the suction cup 52 through the air tube 55. The suction cup 52 then draws the vacuum glass. The fixed plate 53 is fixed in place, thus avoiding the problem of the vacuum glass shifting position when the main body 1 of the device moves. At the same time, as the T-shaped rod 51 moves synchronously with the fixed plate 53, the T-shaped rod 51 moves the L-shaped pressure plate 56. The L-shaped pressure plate 56 and the L-shaped connecting plate 57 squeeze the water bag 58. The water in the water bag 58 is transmitted to the loop nozzle 59 through the hose 510 and sprayed out. The loop nozzle 59 sprays water onto the surface of the vacuum glass, so that the water forms a watertight seal around the suction cup 52, which improves the stability of the suction cup 52 adhering to the vacuum glass.

[0050] After the vacuum glass is placed inside the main body 1 of the device, the threaded rod 61 is driven to rotate by the forward and reverse motors. The threaded rod 61 drives the U-shaped column 62 to slide up and down along the sliding groove on the side wall of the main body 1. Since the U-shaped column 62 is in sliding engagement with the two swing rods 631, the U-shaped column 62 will push the two swing rods 631 to swing upward. The swing rods 631 drive the cylinder 632 to swing upward and move the cylinder 632 into the interior of the arc groove 431. The two cylinders 632 on the front and back sides of the main body 1 push the vacuum glass to move towards the center of the main body 1, thereby centering the vacuum glass inside the main body 1. This can increase the stability of the entire main body 1 and reduce the possibility of the vacuum glass tilting or moving during transportation. Meanwhile, as the long plate 43 is moved by the moving block 3, the long plate 43 drives the sliding plate 64 to move along the outside of the cylinder 632 through the arc groove 431; when the swing rod 631 swings, it drives the cylinder 632 to move along the arc groove 431. At the same time, under the action of friction between the inner wall of the arc groove 431 and the friction wheel 65, the friction wheel 65 will rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve 66 to rotate, thereby reducing the friction when the sleeve 66 contacts the outer wall of the vacuum glass, and avoiding the problem of the cylinder 632 directly rubbing against the outer wall of the vacuum glass, which would cause damage to the edge of the vacuum glass.

[0051] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of using a vacuum glass support device, comprising the following steps:

[0052] S1. Insert the vacuum glass into the main body 1 of the device and position the vacuum glass between the L-shaped plate 41 and the long plate 43.

[0053] S2. When supporting vacuum glass of different specifications, the screw 2 is driven to rotate by the motor. The screw 2 drives the moving block 3 to slide along the strip groove of the main body 1 of the device. The moving block 3 drives the long plate 43 to move along the cross bar 42 and adjusts the distance between the long plate 43 and the L-shaped plate 41 to accommodate vacuum glass of different thicknesses.

[0054] S3. Further adsorb and fix the vacuum glass, while adjusting the position of the vacuum glass on the main body 1 of the device, and centering the vacuum glass within the main body 1 of the device.

[0055] Specifically, the vacuum glass is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption mechanism 5, which improves the stability of the vacuum glass support; the vacuum glass is centered in the device body 1 by the positioning and centering mechanism 6, which increases the stability of the entire device body 1 and reduces the possibility of the vacuum glass tilting or moving during the movement.

[0056] S4. Finally, move the device and vacuum glass to the next processing step.

[0057] 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 within the protection scope of the present invention.
