Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of disassembly tools, and in particular to an automotive glass removal device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of recycling end-of-life vehicles, glass is typically only found in the car windows. Therefore, recycling automotive glass is a crucial step in the dismantling and recycling of various parts from end-of-life vehicles. Automotive glass is usually tempered or high-strength glass, with a higher recycling value than ordinary glass. Current technology for recycling automotive glass typically involves directly shredding the car and then using specialized equipment to sort the glass material with other materials such as metal or plastic. This method requires additional sorting equipment, increasing costs, and more importantly, it cannot achieve the recycling of entire pieces of glass. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to remove a car window as a whole, this application provides a car window removal device.

[0004] This application provides an automotive glass removal device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A car glass removal device includes a winding mechanism. The winding mechanism includes a housing, which comprises an upper housing and a lower housing. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected between the upper housing and the lower housing. A rotating arm is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating arm extends outward from the housing. A take-up reel is rotatably mounted on the end of the rotating arm away from the housing. A winding post is also rotatably mounted on the rotating arm, located at the end of the take-up reel near the housing. The winding mechanism further includes a take-up motor, which is drivenly connected to the winding post. The winding mechanism also includes a wire-fixing suction cup, which comprises a second vacuum suction cup and a wire-releasing post.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the configuration of the rotating arm and the take-up reel, the rotating arm extends the take-up reel a certain distance away from the housing, so that the wire harness is taut when wound on the take-up reel. The rotating arm can be adjusted in direction, and by changing the direction of the rotating arm during take-up, the path of the wire harness cutting the glass can be changed. This configuration can achieve the change of the cutting direction of the wire harness without changing the housing or moving the base. The take-up motor drives the winding column to rotate and take up the wire, providing driving force for the wire harness to cut the glass.

[0007] In one specific implementation, a wrench is rotatably provided at one end of the rotating arm near the housing, and multiple arc-shaped grooves are provided on the upper housing, allowing the wrench to be engaged in the arc-shaped grooves.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the wrench and the arc groove, the wrench can lock the rotation of the rotating arm when it is inserted into the arc groove.

[0009] In one specific implementation, a first vacuum suction cup is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the lower housing.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the first vacuum suction cup is used to adsorb the car glass, which can make the fixation more secure and will not cause scratches to the glass when the suction cup adsorbs the glass.

[0011] In one specific implementation scheme, the system further includes a base, on which a support arm is fixedly mounted, and a caster wheel is fixedly mounted below the base. The support arm includes an upper locking arm and a lower locking arm, and the upper and lower locking arms have multiple through holes forming locking holes. The locking holes are spaced apart along the height direction of the upper and lower locking arms, and locking pins are fitted into the locking holes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and by setting up casters, the casters facilitate the movement of the equipment and improve the flexibility of the equipment operation. Locking holes and locking pins are set between the upper and lower locking arms to adjust the height of the support arms.

[0013] In one specific implementation, both the upper and lower snap-fit ​​arms are made of metal tubing, and the cross-sections of the upper and lower snap-fit ​​arms are U-shaped.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shape can ensure the strength of the support arm and save manufacturing materials.

[0015] In one specific implementation, a rotating shaft is rotatably provided on the top of the upper locking arm, and a ratchet is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft by a key. A mounting hole is provided on the side end of the upper locking arm, and a lever is rotatably provided in the mounting hole, which can engage with the ratchet.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and by using a ratchet and a lever lock, the rotation of the upper locking arm can be locked.

[0017] In one specific implementation, an extension arm is also fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. The extension arm includes a front extension arm and a rear extension arm, with the front extension arm fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension arm can rotate relative to the support arm.

[0019] In one specific implementation, a worm gear and a rotating rod are provided at the end of the front extension arm away from the rear extension arm. The worm gear and the rotating rod are rotatably mounted on the front extension arm via the rotating shaft. The worm gear and the rotating rod mesh and drive each other. A rotating handle is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod.

[0020] In one specific implementation, a rack is fixedly installed inside the extension arm, and the rack meshes with the worm gear for transmission.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the extension arm can be adjusted through the setting of the worm gear and rack.

[0022] In one specific implementation, a ball is fixedly provided at the end of the rear extension arm away from the front extension arm. The ball is fixedly connected to the rear extension arm through a connecting post. A ball sleeve is fitted on the ball, and the ball sleeve and the ball are in a sliding fit. Multiple grooves are spaced apart on the ball sleeve to form a clearance groove, and the connecting post can be engaged in the clearance groove.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and by setting the rolling ball and ball sleeve, the direction of the shell can be adjusted.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. By setting up the winding mechanism, the winding mechanism can be adsorbed onto the surface of the car glass. The wire-fixing suction cup releases the wire, and the wire-retracting motor retracts the wire, so that the wire harness continuously cuts the car glass, thereby achieving the disassembly effect. By adjusting the position of the rotating arm and the wire-fixing suction cup, the direction of wire harness cutting can be adjusted, reducing the movement of the housing and saving operation steps.

[0026] 2. By installing casters under the base, the flexibility of the equipment can be improved, allowing the removed car windows to be moved using the mobile equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the description of the invention, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0036] This application discloses an automotive glass removal device, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device includes a base 1, on which a support arm 12 is fixedly mounted. Multiple casters 11 are fixedly mounted below the base 1, facilitating flexible movement of the device. The base 1 is made of a metal plate. The support arm 12 includes an upper locking arm 121 and a lower locking arm 122. Multiple through holes forming locking holes 123 are provided on the upper locking arm 121. The locking holes 123 are spaced apart along the height direction of the upper and lower locking arms 121 and 122. To improve the support strength of the support arm 12 and save material, both the upper and lower locking arms 121 and 122 are made of metal tubing with a U-shaped cross-section. The locking hole 123 is fitted with a locking pin 124. The locking pin 124 is inserted into the locking hole 123 to lock the positions of the upper locking arm 121 and the lower locking arm 122. Through the locking hole 123 and the locking pin 124, the distance between the upper locking arm 121 and the lower locking arm 122 can be adjusted, so that the length of the support arm 12 is adjustable.

[0037] Reference Figure 3The upper locking arm 121 has a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on its top. A ratchet 131 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a key. An extension arm 13, comprising a front extension arm 138 and a rear extension arm 139, is also fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. The front extension arm 138 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, and its position relative to the rotating shaft remains fixed. A mounting hole is provided at the side end of the upper locking arm 121, and a lever 132 is rotatably mounted within the mounting hole. The lever 132 engages with the ratchet 131, providing a locking function. Rotation of the lever 132 releases the lock. The end of the extension arm 13 can rotate along the rotating shaft, thereby achieving rotational adjustment.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The front extension arm 138 and the rear extension arm 139 are hollow metal tubes with rectangular cross-sections. The radial dimension of the rear extension arm 139 is smaller than that of the front extension arm 138. The rear extension arm 139 passes through the front extension arm 138, and the two arms are in a sliding fit. This allows for sliding between the front and rear extension arms 138. A worm gear 135 and a rotating rod 133 are located at the end of the front extension arm 138 furthest from the rear extension arm 139. The worm gear 135 and the rotating rod 133 are rotatably mounted on the front extension arm 138 via a rotating shaft, engaging for transmission. A handle 134 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 133. A rack 137 is fixedly installed inside the rear extension arm 139, engaging with the worm gear 135 for transmission.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The operator can control the extension and retraction of the rear extension arm 139 by rotating the handle 134. A ball bearing 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the rear extension arm 139 furthest from the front extension arm 138. Specifically, the ball bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the rear extension arm 139 via a connecting post, which extends the ball bearing 14 forward a certain distance. A ball sleeve 15 is fitted onto the ball bearing 14, and the ball sleeve 15 and the ball bearing 14 are in a sliding fit. The ball sleeve 15 can rotate relative to the ball bearing 14. Multiple grooves are spaced apart on the ball sleeve 15 to form a clearance groove 151. The connecting post can be engaged within the clearance groove 151 to achieve a locking effect between the ball sleeve 15 and the ball bearing 14.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6A winding mechanism is fixedly mounted on the end of the ball sleeve 15 away from the rolling ball 14. The winding mechanism includes a housing 18, which is fixedly connected to the end of the ball sleeve 15 away from the rolling ball 14. The housing 18 includes an upper housing 182 and a lower housing 183. A rotating shaft 184 is fixedly connected between the upper housing 182 and the lower housing 183. A rotating arm 181 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 184. One end of the rotating arm 181 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 184, and the other end passes outward from between the upper housing 182 and the lower housing 183 and extends a certain distance outward from the housing 18. A take-up reel 191 is rotatably mounted on the end of the rotating arm 181 away from the housing 18. In order for the take-up reel 191 to wind the wire bundle, a groove is formed on the surface of the take-up reel 191. A winding post 193 is also rotatably mounted on the rotating arm 181, and the winding post 193 is located at the end of the take-up reel 191 near the housing 18. The winding mechanism also includes a take-up motor 192, which is connected to the winding post 193 for transmission. The take-up motor 192 can drive the winding post 193 to rotate and take up the wire.

[0041] A wrench 185 is also provided at one end of the rotating arm 181 near the housing 18. The wrench 185 is rotatably mounted on the rotating arm 181 via a pivot and can swing and rotate along the length of the rotating arm 181. Multiple arc-shaped grooves 194 are formed on the upper housing 182. By operating the wrench 185, it can be engaged into the arc-shaped grooves 194, thereby locking the rotational movement of the rotating arm 181. A first vacuum suction cup 195 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lower housing 183 for adsorbing glass.

[0042] The winding mechanism also includes a wire-fixing suction cup 17, which includes a second vacuum suction cup 171 and a wire-dispensing post 172. The first vacuum suction cup 195 and the second vacuum suction cup 171 are both used to adsorb glass, and the first vacuum suction cup 195 and the second vacuum suction cup 171 are made of rubber so that they do not scratch the glass when adsorbing it. The wire-dispensing post 172 can rotate and dispense the wire.

[0043] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The operator moves the device to the front of the vehicle, pulls out the locking pin 124, and adjusts the height of the support arm 12 to make the height of the winding mechanism consistent with the middle position of the car glass. After adjusting the height, the locking pin 124 is inserted to lock the height of the support arm 12. Rotating the handle 134 causes the rotating rod 133 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 135 to rotate. The worm gear 135 then drives the rack 137 to move, and the length of the extension arm 13 is appropriately adjusted according to the position of the car glass to be removed. The ball 14 and the ball sleeve 15 can rotate freely, thereby realizing the orientation adjustment of the housing 18 and allowing the first vacuum suction cup 195 to adsorb the car glass. The operator needs to manually thread the wire harness from the inside of the glass towards the outside of the vehicle. Initially, the wire harness is wound around the delivery post 172. The fixing suction cup is first attached to a corner where the wire harness passes through the car glass. Then, the operator needs to rotate the rotating arm 181 so that it points towards the fixing suction cup, and pull the wrench 185 into the arc-shaped groove 194 to lock it in place. The wire harness extending towards the outside of the vehicle passes through the take-up reel 191 and is fixed to the winding post 193.

[0044] The take-up motor 192 is started, and the wire harness continuously passes through the adhesive surface between the glass and the car. The passing wire harness cuts the adhesive between the car window glass and the car frame, thereby separating the glass from the car. By changing the position of the fixed suction cup 17, the cutting path of the wire harness can be adjusted. After each adjustment of the fixed suction cup position, the rotating arm 181 needs to be adjusted so that the rotating arm 181 always points in the direction of the fixed suction cup 17. Then, the take-up motor 192 is started again to cut the glass. After all around the glass has been cut, the operator can rotate the handle 134 to move the extension arm 13 away from the car. Due to the adsorption effect of the first vacuum suction cup 195 on the glass, the glass can be pulled off the car. The universal wheels 11 make it easy for the operator to transfer the glass.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
