[0035] In the prior art, conventional glass coating and transportation usually adopts the method of mechanical gripping. However, some non-coated surfaces of the glass that needs to be coated are provided with a film, and the edge of the film will extend beyond the edge of the glass. In addition, the film has other information, which makes it impossible to be gripped and transported, and also brings difficulties to the glass pot.

[0036] The invention provides a glass-coated pot-inserting device.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the glass coating pot plugging device is used to place glass on a carrier plate 700, the carrier plate 700 is provided with a plurality of through holes 710, and the glass coating pot plugging device comprises: a bracket 100 and a material pulling mechanism 200, wherein the carrier plate 700 is arranged on the bracket 100. In the specific implementation process, both ends of the carrier plate 700 are supported on the bracket 100, and a plurality of glasses can be placed on the carrier plate 700, and the glasses are pasted on the carrier plate 700 in parallel. It should be noted that the top surface of the carrier plate 700 has been pasted with a mold film in the previous process, the mold film is adapted to the carrier plate 700, and the mold film has an adhesive for pasting and fixing the glass.

[0038] The material pulling mechanism 200 includes a material pulling drive component 210 and a receiving component 220. The material pulling drive component 210 is arranged on the bracket 100. The material pulling drive component 210 is driven and connected to the receiving component 220, and drives the receiving component 220 to rise, so that one end of the receiving component 220 rises and passes through the through hole 710 and is used to receive the glass. The material pulling drive component 210 also drives the receiving component 220 to descend, so that the glass is transferred from the receiving component 220 to the carrier 700.

[0039] The material pulling mechanism 200 is located below the carrier 700, and the material pulling driving assembly 210 drives the receiving assembly 220 to rise and fall. Specifically, the material pulling driving assembly 210 drives the receiving assembly 220 to rise, and one end of the receiving assembly 220 passes through the through hole 710 to the top of the carrier 700, and the glass is placed on the bearing assembly. The material pulling driving assembly 210 drives the receiving assembly 220 to descend below the carrier 700, so that the glass is placed on the top surface of the carrier 700. It can be understood that the size of the through hole 710 allows the bearing assembly to pass through, but does not allow the glass to pass through. When the bearing assembly descends below the carrier 700, the glass stays on the top surface of the carrier 700, and the carrier 700 has a mold film to stick and fix the glass.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention uses a glass coating pot insertion device to place a plurality of glasses on a carrier plate 700, so that a plurality of glasses carried on the carrier plate 700 are subjected to coating treatment at the same time, and pot-by-pot control and treatment are realized, thereby improving production efficiency. Specifically, the bracket 100 is used to place the carrier plate 700, the carrier plate 700 is provided with a through hole 710, the receiving assembly 220 is used to receive the glass, the material pulling driving assembly 210 drives one end of the receiving assembly 220 to extend through the through hole 710 to the top of the carrier plate 700, and the glass is placed on the receiving assembly 220, the material pulling driving assembly 210 drives the receiving assembly 220 to descend and pull the glass located on the receiving assembly 220, and after the receiving assembly 220 descends to the bottom of the carrier plate 700, the glass is transferred to the carrier plate 700, thereby realizing the placement of the glass on the carrier plate 700. This pot-by-pot control can improve production efficiency and ensure that each pot of glass can be evenly processed during the coating process.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the material pulling drive component 210 includes a first drive member 211 and a second drive member 212, the output end of the first drive member 211 is connected to a supporting plate 230, the supporting plate 230 is provided with at least one receiving component 220, the second drive member 212 is arranged on the bracket 100, and the output end of the second drive component is connected to the first drive component.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, the second driving member 212 is used to drive the first driving member 211 to rise to the material pulling position. At the material pulling position, the first driving member 211 drives the supporting member to rise and fall to transfer the glass to the carrier 700. The second driving member 212 drives the first driving member 211 to descend to avoid other mechanisms, such as avoiding during the process of conveying the carrier 700. Both driving members are driving cylinders. This embodiment uses two driving members. On the one hand, it can reduce the driving stroke of the supporting assembly to transfer the glass, with high stability and improved efficiency. On the other hand, the number of glasses transferred at one time can be set according to the actual situation of the carrier 700 and the glass, which is convenient for assembly and installation. The first driving member 211 and the second driving member 212 use low-dust cylinders with Class 100 cleanliness requirements to reduce dust generation, ensure air cleanliness, and improve coating effects.

[0043] Further, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the material pulling drive assembly 210 also includes an adapter plate 240, which is provided with a connecting hole 242 and an adjusting hole 241. The first driving member 211 is respectively connected to the adjusting hole 241 and the connecting hole 242. The adjusting hole 241 is an arc-shaped long hole, and the connecting hole 242 is located at the center of the adjusting hole 241.

[0044] It should be noted that, in practice, the carrier 700 is an arc-shaped structure, specifically, the top surface of the carrier 700 is an arc surface, and the middle position in the width direction is convex. The adjustment hole 241 is located above the connecting hole 242, and the first driving member 211 is respectively connected to the adjustment hole 241 and the connecting hole 242. The extension direction of the adjustment hole 241 is consistent with the width extension direction of the carrier 700. By adjusting the connection position of the first driving member 211 in the adjustment hole 241, the rotation angle of the first driving member 211 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, and then adapted to the carrier 700, so that when the first driving member 211 drives the bearing assembly to pull the glass onto the carrier 700, the inclination angle of the glass is consistent with the carrier 700 to ensure that when the receiving assembly 220 leaves the glass, the glass can be adhered to the carrier 700 as a whole, avoiding loose adhesion and falling.

[0045] During the specific implementation process, a plurality of first driving members 211 are provided, and the plurality of first driving members 211 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the carrier plate 700, the connecting plate corresponds to the first driving member 211, and the material pulling driving assembly 210 also includes a fixed plate 250, the fixed plate 250 is connected to the second driving member 212, and a plurality of first driving members 211 are arranged on the fixed plate 250.

[0046] The output end of the second driving member 212 is connected to the fixed plate 250, and multiple connecting plates are installed in parallel on the fixed plate 250. Each connecting plate corresponds to a first driving member 211. In this way, the second driving member 212 can simultaneously drive multiple first driving members 211 and the supporting components to rise and fall through the fixed plate 250, and can transport multiple glasses at the same time, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, the receiving assembly 220 includes a pull rod 221 and a buffer seat 222. The pull rod 221 is connected to the material pulling drive assembly 210. The buffer seat 222 is arranged at one end of the pull rod 221 away from the material pulling drive assembly 210, and the buffer seat 222 is used to receive glass.

[0048] The glass is a mobile phone glass and has a square structure. In order to improve the stability of the mobile phone glass transportation, in the specific implementation process, four groups of receiving components 220 are provided, and they are respectively close to the four corners of the glass. The four groups of receiving components 220 are installed on the carrier plate 230. Correspondingly, four through holes 710 are correspondingly provided at each position of the carrier plate 700 where the glass is placed, and each receiving component 220 corresponds to one through hole 710. Specifically, one end of the pull rod 221 is connected to the carrier plate 230, and the other end is connected to the buffer seat 222, wherein the buffer seat 222 is made of a flexible material such as rubber or silicone, and a cavity is provided inside the buffer seat 222, and an opening connected to the cavity is provided at the end. The outer wall of the cavity of the buffer seat 222 is convex to the peripheral side. When the glass is placed on the buffer seat 222, there is a downward pressure force, the cavity is squeezed, and the gas in the cavity is discharged through the opening, thereby playing a buffering role. At the same time, the cavity also takes in air through the opening, and a certain adsorption force is formed at the opening, which can also adsorb the glass and improve the stability of the glass. In addition, the adsorption force can also form a pulling force to place the glass on the carrier 700 when the buffer seat 222 moves down and away from the carrier 700, so as to ensure that the glass can be stably adhered to the carrier 700.

[0049] In one embodiment, the glass coating pot insertion device further includes at least one transverse movement module 300, which is disposed on the bracket 100 and connected to the material pulling drive assembly 210. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the transverse movement module 300 is consistent with the length direction of the carrier 700, and the transverse movement module 300 is connected to a support seat, and the second driving member 212 of the material pulling mechanism 200 is installed on the support seat to drive the material pulling mechanism 200 to move along the length direction of the carrier 700. In addition, the transverse movement module 300 is dust-free to avoid dust adsorbed on the glass to affect the coating effect. The transverse movement module 300 can be a motor screw structure or a drive cylinder structure, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0050] Further, two transverse modules 300 are provided, and the two transverse modules 300 are arranged in parallel on the bracket 100 along the length direction of the carrier 700, and the transverse modules 300 are arranged correspondingly to the material pulling mechanism 200. In the specific implementation process, two groups of transverse modules 300 are provided, and the two groups of transverse modules 300 are arranged in parallel along the length direction of the carrier 700, and each group of transverse modules 300 is connected to a group of material pulling mechanism 200. The area on the carrier 700 where the glass is placed is divided into two groups, and the two groups of material pulling mechanisms 200 are responsible for transporting and placing the glass in the corresponding area, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0051] In one embodiment, the glass coated pot device includes a positioning mechanism 400, the positioning mechanism 400 includes a positioning drive member 410 and a limiting member 420, a carrier plate 700 is provided with a limiting hole, the positioning drive member 410 is connected to the limiting member 420 and drives the limiting member 420 to be inserted into the limiting hole.

[0052] It can be understood that the positioning mechanism 400 fixes the carrier 700 on the bracket 100 to prevent the carrier 700 from falling. Specifically, the positioning drive member 410 is installed on the bracket 100, and the positioning drive members 410 are arranged at both ends of the carrier 700. The two ends of the carrier 700 are provided with limiting holes, and the positioning drive member 410 drives the limiting member 420 to be inserted into the limiting holes to limit the movement and rotation of the carrier 700. Of course, the positions of the carrier 700 near the two ends are also supported on the bracket 100 to improve the stability of the carrier 700.

[0053] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the glass coating pot-insertion equipment also includes a transfer robot 500, which is used to place the glass on the receiving component 220. The transfer robot 500 includes a supporting rod 510 and a suction cup 520. The suction cup 520 is arranged on the supporting rod 510 and is used to support the glass. The supporting rod 510 has an adsorption channel, which is connected to the suction cup 520.

[0054] The transfer robot 500 adopts a four-axis robot, which is located on one side of the bracket. It is used to transfer the glass to be coated and place it on the supporting seat. In the specific implementation process, at least one supporting rod 510 is set, and the number and position of the suction cup 520 on the supporting rod 510 are set according to the size of the glass. The supporting rod 510 supports the glass to the buffer seat 222. The space between adjacent buffer seats 222 can avoid the supporting rod 510, which is convenient for the supporting rod 510 to place the glass on the buffer seat 222.
