Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass production, in particular to a glass positioning device with adjustable stroke and a positioning method. Background Art

[0002] In glass production lines and glass deep processing production lines, when the glass is unloaded, edged, and cut, it needs to be positioned to ensure that it is aligned with the reference so that it can be perfectly connected with the next process; but due to different production batches, the size of the glass will vary.

[0003] For example, the comparative document with publication number CN106882557A discloses a glass positioning mechanism, including a pulling component, a two-way driving component and two groups of positioning components, the two-way driving component includes a transmission belt and two pulleys, the output end of the pulling component is connected to one side of the transmission belt, one group of positioning components is connected to one side of the transmission belt, and the other group of positioning components is connected to the other side of the transmission belt, the pulling component can pull the transmission belt to rotate around the two pulleys, thereby driving the two groups of positioning components to move closer to or away from each other along a conveying direction perpendicular to the glass. The two groups of positioning components approaching each other can push the glass back; the positioning mechanism uses a synchronous belt to clamp the glass in the center and can only be used for synchronous tightening and alignment.
