Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of glass conveying, and in particular to a glass slicing device and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Glass coating lines produce a variety of glass with different sizes and specifications. In order to increase the loading rate, the gaps between medium-sized glass are large, so the medium-sized glass needs to be combined to increase the amount of glass produced in the coating area and improve production efficiency. After the combined glass is processed in the coating area, the two pieces of glass need to be separated to carry out the unloading process separately to improve work efficiency. In the existing technology, the glass is manually moved to separate the glass that needs to be separated, so that it is placed on different unloading tables and unloaded separately, which has a low degree of intelligence and low efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 3, the glass slicing device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a slicing platform 101, a first upstream unloader 102, a first downstream unloader 103, a first sensor 104 and a second sensor 105. The slicing platform 101 comprises an upstream unit 106 and a downstream unit 107 arranged in sequence along a first direction, the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 are both used to transport glass, and the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 are both capable of driving the glass to move in the first direction and the second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first upstream unloader 102 is located on one side of the slicing platform 101 in the third direction, and the first downstream unloader 103 is located on one side of the slicing platform 101 in the third direction, and any two of the first direction, the third direction and the vertical direction are perpendicular to each other, the first upstream unloader 102 and the first downstream unloader 103 are located on the same side of the slicing platform 101, and the first upstream unloader 102 and the first downstream unloader 103 are arranged in sequence along the first direction. The first sensor 104 is disposed at one end of the upstream unit 106 close to the downstream unit 107 , and the second sensor 105 is disposed at one end of the downstream unit 107 away from the upstream unit 106 .

[0028] When two pieces of glass to be separated are placed on the glass separation table 101, the glass separation device 100 has a first unloading mode, a second unloading mode and a third unloading mode; when the glass separation device 100 is in the first unloading mode, the first upstream unloading machine 102 unloads the glass from the upstream unit 106, and the first downstream unloading machine 103 unloads the glass from the downstream unit 107; when the glass separation device 100 is in the second unloading mode, only the first upstream unloading machine 102 unloads the glass, and the glass separation table 101 drives the two pieces of glass to be separated to be transported to the upstream unit 106; when the glass separation device 100 is in the third unloading mode, only the first downstream unloading machine 103 unloads the glass, and the glass separation table 101 drives the two pieces of glass to be separated to be transported to the downstream unit 107; the glass separation table 101 is used to drive the two pieces of glass to be separated to move until the second sensor 105 detects the downstream edge of one of the pieces of glass to be separated, and the first sensor 104 detects the downstream edge of the other piece of glass to be separated. In this way, the slicing table 101 first drives the two pieces of glass to be sliced ​​to move until the second sensor 105 detects the downstream edge of one of the pieces of glass to be sliced. At this time, the two pieces of glass are close to the downstream end of the slicing table 101, and then drives the two pieces of glass to be sliced ​​to move along the second direction, so that the first sensor 104 stops driving after detecting the downstream edge of the other piece of glass to be sliced. At this time, the two pieces of glass are respectively located in the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107, and the glass slicing is completed. The first upstream unloading machine 102 and the first downstream unloading machine 103 located on both sides of the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 use different unloading modes to automatically unload the glass, thereby improving work efficiency and intelligence.

[0029] refer to Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the glass slicing device 100 includes an upstream conveyor line 401 and a downstream conveyor line 402. Along the first direction, the upstream conveyor line 401 is arranged upstream of the slicing platform 101, and the upstream conveyor line 401 is used to convey glass to the slicing platform 101. Along the first direction, the downstream conveyor line 402 is arranged downstream of the slicing platform 101, and the downstream conveyor line 402 is used to receive and transport glass from the slicing platform 101. The device is also provided with at least one unloading machine, which is adjacent to the downstream conveyor line 402, and the unloading machine is used to unload glass from the downstream conveyor line 402. In this way, the glass slicing device 100 can be applied to a conveyor line where some glass does not need to be sliced. The glass conveyed by the upstream conveyor line 401 needs to be sliced ​​at the slicing platform 101, and the glass that does not need to be sliced ​​can continue to be transported downward to the downstream conveyor line 402, and the unloading machine of the downstream conveyor line 402 unloads the glass, which can meet more diverse glass transportation needs.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 3 According to the control method of the second embodiment of the present invention, the control method is used to control the glass slicing device 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the two pieces of glass to be sliced ​​are respectively the first glass to be sliced ​​108 and the second glass to be sliced ​​109, the first glass to be sliced ​​108 and the second glass to be sliced ​​109 are distributed along the first direction, the control method includes a first slicing step, the first slicing step includes: controlling the slicing table 101 to transport the first glass to be sliced ​​108 and the second glass to be sliced ​​109 along the first direction until the downstream edge of the second glass to be sliced ​​109 is detected by the second sensor 105, then controlling the slicing table 101 to transport the first glass to be sliced ​​108 and the second glass to be sliced ​​109 along the second direction until the downstream edge of the first glass to be sliced ​​108 is detected by the first sensor 104, and controlling the slicing table 101 to stop driving; judging whether the glass slicing device 100 is currently in the first sheeting mode, the second sheeting mode, and the third sheeting mode, and performing glass slicing according to the sheeting mode of the glass slicing device 100. First, the slicing table 101 is controlled to drive the two pieces of glass to be sliced ​​to move until the second sensor 105 detects the downstream edge of one of the pieces of glass to be sliced. At this time, the two pieces of glass are close to the downstream end of the slicing table 101, and then the two pieces of glass to be sliced ​​are driven to move along the second direction, so that the first sensor 104 stops driving after detecting the downstream edge of the other piece of glass to be sliced. At this time, the two pieces of glass are respectively located in the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107, and the glass slicing is completed. The first upstream unloading machine 102 and the first downstream unloading machine 103 located on both sides of the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 use different unloading modes to automatically unload the glass, thereby improving work efficiency and intelligence.

[0031] It should be noted that, specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the process of glass slicing is as follows: first, the slicing table 101 is controlled to convey the glass along a first direction, so that the first glass to be sliced ​​108 and the second glass to be sliced ​​109 are arranged as follows: Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the downstream edge of the second glass to be separated 109 is detected by the second sensor 105, and the second glass to be separated 109 is completely located in the downstream unit 107, while the first glass to be separated 108 is partially located in the upstream unit 106 and partially located in the downstream unit 107, so the entire separation table 101 is driven to transport the glass along the second direction, so that the two glasses are as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the first glass to be separated 108 is completely located in the upstream unit 106. Since the first glass to be separated 108 and the second glass to be separated 109 have a certain gap, the second glass to be separated is located in the downstream unit 107 at this time, and the glass separation is completed. It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, the glass that has been combined refers to reducing the gap between two pieces of glass spaced apart on the horizontal plane, but there is still a certain gap between the combined glass and it is not completely fitted. The glass separation utilizes the gap between the combined glass, and adjusts the movement of the glass so that the two pieces of glass are located at two parts of the separation table 101 (the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107), so that two unloading machines and different unloading modes are used for unloading, thereby improving work efficiency and intelligence.

[0032] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, two deceleration sensors (not shown in the figure) are respectively arranged at intervals at the upstream end of the first sensor 104 and the upstream end of the second sensor 105. When the glass is conveyed along the first direction, it will be detected by the deceleration sensor first. At this time, the slicing table 101 is controlled to decelerate. When the downstream edge of the glass is detected by the first sensor 104 or the second sensor 105, the driving is stopped. In this way, it can be ensured that the glass can stop at a lower speed when the slicing table 101 stops driving, avoiding sliding caused by inertia. At the same time, it can be transported at a higher speed during transportation, and then transported at a lower speed after deceleration by the deceleration sensor, thereby improving the transportation efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the glass slicing device 100 is in the first unloading mode, the first upstream unloading machine 102 is controlled to unload the first glass to be sliced ​​108 of the upstream unit 106; and the first downstream unloading machine 103 is controlled to unload the second glass to be sliced ​​109 of the downstream unit 107. In the first unloading mode, both the first upstream unloading machine 102 and the first downstream unloading machine 103 are working, so the two unloading machines unload the glass of the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 respectively, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0034] refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of the present invention, along the first direction, the first sensor 104 is at a centerline distance L1 from the upstream unit 106, the length of the first glass to be separated 108 is L2, the second sensor 105 is at a centerline distance L3 from the downstream unit 107, and the length of the second glass to be separated 109 is L4. Before unloading the glass, the control method further includes a centering step, which includes: controlling the downstream unit 107 to convey the second glass to be separated 109 along the first direction until the downstream edge of the second glass to be separated 109 is detected by the second sensor 105, and controlling the downstream unit 107 to stop driving; controlling the upstream unit 106 to convey the first glass to be separated 108 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L5, L5 = (L1-0.5L2); controlling the downstream unit 107 to convey the second glass to be separated 109 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L6, L6 = (L3-0.5L4). Such a design can place the sliced ​​glass at the center of the upstream unit 106 or the downstream unit 107, and the unloader is often designed to coincide with the center axis of the corresponding conveying plate. Therefore, the centered glass also coincides with the center line of the unloader, making it convenient for the unloader to unload the glass and place it later.

[0035] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the specific process of the centering step is as follows: the position of the glass after the slicing is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this time, after the downstream unit 107 is controlled to transport the second glass to be separated 109 along the first direction, the positions of the two glasses are as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 are driven to transport the two pieces of glass in the second direction for a specified distance. Figure 1 The two glasses shown in the figure are centered separately.

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, if the glass slicing device 100 is in the second unloading mode, the first upstream unloading machine 102 is controlled to unload the first glass to be sliced ​​108 of the upstream unit 106; the slicing table 101 is controlled to convey the second glass to be sliced ​​109 along the second direction until the downstream edge of the second glass to be sliced ​​109 is detected by the first sensor 104, and the slicing table 101 is controlled to stop driving; the first upstream unloading machine 102 is controlled to unload the second glass to be sliced ​​109 of the upstream unit 106. When the glass slicing device 100 is in the second unloading mode, only the first upstream unloading machine 102 is in operation, so after the first glass to be sliced ​​108 is unloaded, the second glass to be sliced ​​109 is conveyed to the upstream unit 106, and the first upstream unloading machine 102 is controlled to unload the second time, so that the function of unloading both glasses can be realized when only a single unloading machine is in operation, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, along the first direction, the distance between the first sensor 104 and the center line of the upstream unit 106 is L1, the length of the first glass to be separated 108 is L2, and the length of the second glass to be separated 109 is L4. Before unloading the glass, the control method further includes a centering step, which includes: controlling the upstream unit 106 to convey the first glass to be separated 108 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L5, L5 = (L1-0.5L2); controlling the first upstream unloading machine 102 to align the upstream unit The first glass to be split 108 of the unit 106 is unloaded; the splitting table 101 is controlled to convey the second glass to be split 109 along the second direction until the downstream edge of the second glass to be split 109 is detected by the first sensor 104, and the splitting table 101 is controlled to stop driving; the upstream unit 106 is controlled to convey the second glass to be split 109 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L7, L7 = (L1-0.5L4); the first upstream unloading machine 102 is controlled to unload the second glass to be split 109 of the upstream unit 106. When only the first upstream unloader 102 is working, the centering step needs to first center and unload the first glass to be separated 108, and then transport the second glass to be separated 109 to the upstream unit 106. Then, the transportation distance is determined according to the length of the second glass to be separated 109 and the length of the upstream unit 106, so that the second glass to be separated 109 is centered in the upstream unit 106 and unloaded by the first upstream unloader 102. In this way, the function of being able to unload two glasses can be achieved when only a single unloader is running, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, if the glass slicing device 100 is in the third unloading mode, then: the first downstream unloading machine 103 is controlled to unload the second glass to be sliced ​​109 of the downstream unit 107; the slicing table 101 is controlled to convey the first glass to be sliced ​​108 along the first direction until the downstream edge of the first glass to be sliced ​​108 is detected by the second sensor 105, and the slicing table 101 is controlled to stop driving; the first downstream unloading machine 103 is controlled to unload the first glass to be sliced ​​108 of the downstream unit 107. When the glass slicing device 100 is in the third unloading mode, only the first downstream unloading machine 103 is operated, so the second glass to be sliced ​​109 is unloaded first, and then the first glass to be sliced ​​108 is conveyed to the downstream unit 107, and the first downstream unloading machine 103 is controlled to unload the second time, so that the function of unloading both glasses can be realized when only a single unloading machine is in operation, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0039] refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of the present invention, along the first direction, the length of the first glass to be separated 108 is L2, the distance between the second sensor 105 and the center line of the downstream unit 107 is L3, and the length of the second glass to be separated 109 is L4. Before unloading the glass, the control method further includes a centering step, which includes: controlling the downstream unit 107 to convey the second glass to be separated 109 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L6, L6 = (L3-0.5L4); controlling the first downstream unloading machine 103 to unload the downstream unit 107; The second glass to be separated 109 of the unit 107 is unloaded; the slicing table 101 is controlled to convey the first glass to be separated 108 along the first direction until the downstream edge of the first glass to be separated 108 is detected by the second sensor 105, and the slicing table 101 is controlled to stop driving; the downstream unit 107 is controlled to convey the first glass to be separated 108 along the second direction, and the conveying distance is L8, L8 = (L3-0.5L2); the first downstream unloading machine 103 is controlled to unload the first glass to be separated 108 of the downstream unit 107. When only the first downstream unloader 103 is working, the centering step needs to first center and unload the second glass to be separated 109, and then transport the first glass to be separated 108 to the downstream unit 107. Then, the transportation distance is determined according to the length of the first glass to be separated 108 and the length of the downstream unit 107, so that the first glass to be separated 108 is centered in the downstream unit 107 and is unloaded by the first downstream unloader 103. In this way, the function of unloading two glasses can be achieved when only a single unloader is running, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to the control method of the third aspect of the present invention, the glass slicing device 100 of the first aspect of the present invention is used to control the glass slicing device 100. The glass slicing device 100 also includes an upstream conveyor line 401. Along the first direction, the upstream conveyor line 401 is arranged upstream of the slicing table 101. The upstream conveyor line 401 is used to convey glass to the slicing table 101. The control method includes a second slicing step. The second slicing step includes: determining whether the glass conveyed to the slicing table 101 by the upstream conveyor line 401 needs to be sliced ​​at the slicing table 101; if so, first controlling the upstream conveyor line 401 to slicing the glass at the slicing table 101; The conveyor line 401 and the slicing table 101 synchronously convey the third glass to be slit and the fourth glass to be slit along the first direction, wherein the third glass to be slit and the fourth glass to be slit are distributed along the first direction; when the downstream edge of the third glass to be slit is detected by the first sensor 104, the upstream unit 106 and the upstream conveyor line 401 are controlled to stop driving, and the downstream unit 107 is controlled to continue conveying the fourth glass to be slit along the first direction, until the downstream edge of the fourth glass to be slit is detected by the second sensor 105, and the downstream unit 107 is controlled to stop driving; If not, determine whether the glass needs to be unloaded from the slicing table 101. If it needs to be unloaded, control the first downstream unloading machine 103 to unload the glass from the downstream unit 107, and control the first upstream unloading machine 102 to unload the glass from the upstream unit 106. If it is not necessary, control the upstream conveyor line 401 and the slicing table 101 to convey the glass along the first direction until the glass leaves the slicing table 101. When there are an upstream conveyor line 401 for conveying multiple types of glass and a downstream conveyor line 402 for subsequently transporting glass, it is necessary to first determine whether the glass needs to be sliced. If sliced, the second slicing step first controls the upstream conveyor line 401 and the slicing table 101 to synchronously convey the third glass to be sliced ​​and the fourth glass to be sliced ​​along the first direction. When the downstream edge of the third glass to be sliced ​​is detected by the first sensor 104, the third glass to be sliced ​​is already in the upstream unit 106. At this time, the upstream unit 106 is controlled to stop driving and the downstream unit 107 is controlled to continue driving. When the downstream edge of the fourth glass to be sliced ​​is detected by the second sensor 105, the fourth glass to be sliced ​​is also already in the downstream unit 107. At this time, the slicing of the two pieces of glass is completed, and then the first upstream unloading machine 102 and the first downstream unloading machine 103 located on both sides of the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 use different unloading modes to automatically unload the glass, thereby improving work efficiency and intelligence.

[0041] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first glass to be separated 108 and the second glass to be separated 109 are ordinary medium glass or tempered medium glass with a single length of no more than three meters after the lamination process, and the glass separation device 100 can also convey large glass with a single length of more than three meters or artificial glass of various shapes and small sizes. When the large glass or artificial glass passes through the separation table 101, it does not need to be separated and is directly conveyed to the downstream conveyor line 402. In some embodiments of the present invention, the downstream conveyor line 402 is also adjacently provided with a second upstream unloading machine 403 and a second downstream unloading machine 404 along one side of the third direction, which can be used to unload large glass, and a manual table is also provided at the downstream end of the downstream conveyor line 402 to manually unload the artificial glass.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the slitting table 101 can also only slit and unslice ordinary middle glass, and set corresponding unslicing machines and slitting devices for tempered middle glass on the downstream conveyor line 402, so as to further refine the two types of glass and improve the degree of intelligence.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control method also includes: for a single piece of medium glass that does not need to be slit, the upstream conveyor line 401 can be directly driven to convey it to the upstream unit 106 or the downstream unit 107 of the slit table 101 (depending on the operation status of the first upstream unloader 102 and the first downstream unloader 103 at this time, if both are running, the upstream unit 106 and the downstream unit 107 can be used, if only a single unloader is running, the corresponding position is selected), and then the first upstream unloader 102 or the first downstream unloader 103 is controlled to unload it.

[0044] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upstream conveyor line 401 also conveys a mixture of medium-sized glass and large-sized glass, or other types of mixed glass that does not need to be unloaded from the slicing table 101. The control method also includes: driving the upstream conveyor line 401 and the slicing table 101 to convey two pieces of mixed glass along a first direction, the first mixed glass being in the upstream and the second mixed glass being in the downstream. When the downstream edge of the first mixed glass is detected by the first sensor 104, the upstream unit 106 and the upstream conveyor line 401 are controlled to stop driving, while the downstream unit 107 and the downstream conveyor line 402 continue to convey the second mixed glass, thereby realizing the separation of the mixed glass. At the same time, the types of the first mixed glass and the second mixed glass are judged, and they are conveyed to one side of the corresponding unloading machine, and the corresponding unloading machine is used for unloading.

[0045] It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, the downstream conveyor line 402 is also provided with sensors, and large pieces of glass or single pieces of middle glass that do not need to be split also need to be centered. The centering steps of the embodiments of the present invention can still be used for centering, and then the unloading can be carried out, that is, single pieces of glass can also undergo the centering process.

[0046] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
