Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass processing, and in particular to a glass flipping device with a glass channel. Background Art

[0002] In the field of glass deep processing, due to the requirements of the production process, the glass will be divided into two sides, and transported or unloaded according to the front or back side of the glass, so a glass flipping device is often used.

[0003] Most of the existing glass flipping devices use a combination of conveyor rollers and conveyor belts to realize the flipping of glass in different flow directions. One is a 180° flipping machine, and the other is a roulette-type flipping machine, that is, the glass is flipped by several roulettes connected to the main shaft and forks fixed on the roulettes. The existing roulette-type flipping machine has the characteristics of high working efficiency, but it still has some defects. When the glass passes through the roulette-type flipping machine, it must be turned over. In some occasions where flipping is not necessary, it will cause efficiency loss and energy waste. In addition, when the roulette-type flipping machine is used in combination with a conveyor belt, it occupies a large area, which will affect the arrangement of other equipment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides a glass flipping device with a glass channel, which can flip the glass and also allow the glass to pass directly without flipping.

[0010] Preferably, each flap wheel assembly comprises six flip forks, and the angle between two adjacent flip forks is 60°.

[0011] Preferably, a light blocking disc is provided at one end of the main shaft, and a plurality of light blocking members are evenly spaced along the circumference of the light blocking disc, and the number of the light blocking members is the same as the number of flip forks in each flip wheel assembly; a photoelectric sensor is also included; when the main shaft driving source drives the main shaft to rotate a preset angle, the light blocking member blocks the light emitted by the photoelectric sensor, and the photoelectric sensor measures the rotation angle of the main shaft.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0051] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a front view of the glass flipping device of the present invention. In the following description, Figure 1 The attached figure in the figure is used as a reference for the direction. Figure 1 In the diagram, the direction perpendicular to the view paper is the front direction, the direction perpendicular to the view paper is the back direction, the direction upward along the view paper is the upper direction, the direction downward along the view paper is the lower direction, the direction to the right along the view paper is the right direction, and the direction to the left along the view paper is the left direction. The up-down direction is defined as the Z direction, the left-right direction is defined as the X direction, and the front-back direction is defined as the Y direction. When describing other views, Figure 1 The determined direction serves as the basis.

[0052] like Figure 1-2 and Figure 4-6As shown, the present invention provides a glass flipping device with a glass channel, the glass flipping device comprises a first conveying mechanism 1, a flipping mechanism 2 and a second conveying mechanism 3 arranged in sequence, and the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 3 are both used to convey glass. The flipping mechanism 2 comprises a main shaft 21, a plurality of flipping wheel disc assemblies 22 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the main shaft 21, and a main shaft driving source 24 for driving the main shaft 21 to rotate, and a glass channel 214 extending along the axial direction of the main shaft 21 is opened on the main shaft 21, and the glass channel 214 is used to connect the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 3. The flipping wheel disc assembly 22 comprises a plurality of flipping forks 222 evenly spaced along the circumference of the main shaft 21, and each flipping fork 222 comprises two mutually parallel blocking bars 222a. The glass channel 214 is arranged between two adjacent flipping forks 222. The main shaft driving source 24 is specifically a servo motor.

[0053] When the glass needs to be flipped, the spindle driving source 24 drives the spindle 21 to rotate to a first preset angle, and the glass conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 1 enters the flip fork 222 (i.e., located between the two baffles 222a) when passing through the flipping mechanism 2. Then, the spindle driving source 24 drives the spindle 21 to rotate, and the flip fork 222 drives the glass to rotate 180°, and then the second conveying mechanism 3 conveys the flipped glass.

[0054] When it is not necessary to flip the glass, the main shaft driving source 24 drives the main shaft 21 to rotate to the second preset angle, and the glass channel 214 is now connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 3. The glass conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 1 will not enter the flip fork 222 when passing through the flipping mechanism 2, but will be located between two adjacent flipping forks 222. Then, the pusher disposed near the first conveying mechanism 1 pushes the glass to pass through the glass channel 214, and then the second conveying mechanism 3 conveys the unflipped glass.

[0055] As can be seen from the above, the glass flipping device provided by the present invention allows the glass to directly pass through the flipping mechanism by adding a glass channel, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency of the device and saving production resources.

[0056] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying mechanism 1 is as follows Figure 1-3 The conveying roller mechanism shown in FIG. 1 comprises a roller frame 11, a plurality of conveying rollers 12 arranged at intervals on the roller frame 11, and a conveying roller driving source 13 for driving the plurality of conveying rollers 12 to rotate synchronously. The second conveying mechanism 3 is as follows Figure 7The conveyor belt mechanism shown includes a belt frame 31, a plurality of conveyor belt assemblies 32 arranged at intervals on the belt frame 31, and a conveyor belt driving source 321 for driving the plurality of conveyor belt assemblies 32 to rotate synchronously. The conveyor roller driving source 13 and the conveyor belt driving source 321 are specifically servo motors, which can accurately control the rotation speed of the conveyor roller 12 and the conveyor belt assembly 32. The transmission structure between the conveyor roller driving source 13 and the plurality of conveyor rollers 12, the specific structure of the belt conveyor assembly 32, and the transmission structure between the belt conveyor assembly 32 and the conveyor belt driving source 321 are all prior art, and reference can be made to the Chinese invention patent application with the publication number CN107381048A and the name "Reversing Conveying Equipment and Glass Deep Processing Production Line", which will not be repeated here. Those skilled in the art can also replace the structures of the first conveyor mechanism 1 and the second conveyor mechanism 3 according to the needs of glass production, and the two are respectively any one of the conveyor roller mechanism and the conveyor belt mechanism.

[0057] The first conveying mechanism 1, the flapping mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 3 are arranged in sequence along the X direction. The conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 1 is parallel to the Y direction, and the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 3 is parallel to the X direction, that is, the conveying directions of the two are perpendicular to each other; the main shaft 21 is installed on one side of the belt frame 31, and its extension direction is parallel to the Y direction, that is, parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 1. This arrangement can effectively reduce the space occupied by the flapping mechanism 2. Each flapping wheel assembly 22 is arranged between two adjacent conveying rollers 12 or two adjacent belt conveying assemblies 32, and its rotational movement will not interfere with the rotational movement of the conveying roller 12 and the belt conveying assembly 32. At the same time, the roller surface elevation of the conveying roller 12, the belt surface elevation of the conveying belt assembly 32, and the main shaft 21 are aligned with the elevation of the main line of glass deep processing to ensure the smooth conveying and circulation of the glass.

[0058] In order to provide sufficient support for the glass passing through the glass channel 214, an extension section 121 extending in the direction of the flipping mechanism 2 (i.e., the X direction) is provided at one end (i.e., the left end) of each conveying roller 12 close to the flipping mechanism 2, and the extension section 121 is snap-fitted with the end of the conveying roller 12.

[0059] like Figure 4-6As shown, the main shaft 21 includes two shaft bodies 212, the ends of the two shaft bodies 212 are fixedly connected by a shaft head 211, and the glass channel 214 is located between the two shaft bodies 212. Specifically, each shaft body 212 is a rectangular steel pipe. A plurality of mounting plates 213 are arranged at intervals on the shaft body 212. Each flap wheel assembly 22 includes two semicircular mounting portions 221 and six flip forks 222, and three flip forks 222 are detachably connected to each mounting portion 221, and the angle between two adjacent flip forks 222 is 60°. Each mounting portion 221 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 213 by bolts. This arrangement facilitates the overall replacement of the flap wheel assembly 22 or the individual replacement of the flip fork 222, thereby facilitating maintenance.

[0060] In order to prevent the glass from colliding with the mounting portion 221 when entering the flip fork 222 and causing damage to the glass, each flip fork 222 further includes a stopper 223 disposed between two stop bars 222a, the stopper 223 is located at one end of the flip fork 222 close to the mounting portion 221, and is connected to the mounting portion 221. The stopper 223 is made of a flexible material, such as latex, rubber, etc., which can provide buffering protection for the glass.

[0061] Furthermore, a light blocking disc 23 is provided at one end of the main shaft 21, and a plurality of light blocking members 231 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the light blocking disc 23, and the number of the light blocking members 231 is the same as the number of the flip forks 222 in each flip wheel assembly 22. A photoelectric sensor is also included, and the photoelectric sensor specifically includes a transmitter and a receiver. In the initial state, the light emitted by the transmitter is received by the receiver; when the main shaft driving source 24 drives the main shaft 21 to rotate a preset angle (such as 60°), the light blocking member 231 blocks the light emitted by the transmitter, and the receiver senses that the light disappears, and the photoelectric sensor thereby measures the rotation angle of the main shaft 21. The setting of the light blocking disc 23 and the photoelectric sensor helps to accurately control the flip angle of the glass and ensure the smooth operation of the device.

[0062] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
