[0025] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides an arrangement system 100 , which can be used to transport and arrange the glass 300 .

[0026] It should be noted that Figure 2 The four rectangular blocks in exemplify the moving tracks of the same glass 300 in the arrangement system 100 .

[0027] It can be understood that the arrangement system 100 can also be used to transport and arrange other materials.

[0028] The arrangement system 100 includes a positioning table 110 and a layout table 130 . The positioning table 110 determines the approximate position of the glass 300 , and then transports the glass 300 to the layout table 130 . The layout table 130 can be used to arrange the glass 300 .

[0029] The positioning platform 110 includes a plurality of first conveying rollers 111 and a conveying belt 111 .

[0030] The plurality of first conveying rollers 111 are arranged along the first direction X, and the plurality of first conveying rollers 111 are used to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X, so as to convey the glass 300 to the typesetting table 130 .

[0031] As an example, after the glass 300 is conveyed to the first conveying rollers 111 , a plurality of first conveying rollers 111 rotate synchronously toward the first direction X to convey the glass 300 toward the first direction X.

[0032] The plurality of first conveying rollers 111 may be two first conveying rollers 111 , three first conveying rollers 111 , four first conveying rollers 111 , or other number of first conveying rollers 111 , which may be specifically designed according to requirements.

[0033] The conveyor belt 111 is disposed between two adjacent first conveyor rollers 111 to fully utilize the gap between the adjacent first conveyor rollers 111 , which helps to make the structure of the positioning platform 110 more compact.

[0034] The conveyor belt 111 is used to convey the glass 300 along the second direction Y, so as to convey the glass 300 along the second direction Y to a desired position.

[0035] The conveyor belt 111 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to lift the glass 300 relative to the first conveyor roller 111 or place the glass 300 on the first conveyor roller 111, so that the first conveyor roller 111 and the conveyor belt 111 can cooperate to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively, so as to convey the glass 300 to the desired position of the positioning table 110.

[0036] The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, and both the first direction X and the second direction Y may be horizontal directions.

[0037] As an example, the conveyor belt 111 may include a first driving member and a belt transmission assembly, the belt transmission assembly includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a belt, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively located at the two ends of the first transmission roller along the second direction Y, the belt can be wound around the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the driving end of the first driving member can be connected to the driving wheel to drive the driving wheel to rotate, and the belt can drive the driven wheel to rotate synchronously, so that the belt can convey the glass 300 along the second direction Y.

[0038] The typesetting platform 130 includes a plurality of second conveying rollers 131 and a plurality of lifting members 133 .

[0039] The second conveying roller 131 and the first conveying roller 111 are disposed adjacent to each other, and the second conveying roller 131 can receive the glass 300 conveyed by the first conveying roller 111 .

[0040] The plurality of second conveying rollers 131 are arranged along the first direction X, and the plurality of second conveying rollers 131 are used to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X, so as to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X to a desired position.

[0041] As an example, the glass 300 is transported to the second transport rollers 131 via the first transport rollers 111 , and a plurality of second transport rollers 131 rotate synchronously toward the first direction X to transport the glass 300 in the first direction X.

[0042] The plurality of second conveying rollers 131 may be two second conveying rollers 131 , three second conveying rollers 131 , four second conveying rollers 131 , or other number of second conveying rollers 131 , which may be specifically designed according to requirements.

[0043] The plurality of lifting members 133 may be two lifting members 133 , three lifting members 133 , four lifting members 133 or any other number of lifting members 133 , which may be specifically designed according to requirements.

[0044] A plurality of lifting members 133 are located between two adjacent second conveying rollers 131 to fully utilize the gap between the adjacent second conveying rollers 131 , which helps to make the structure of the typesetting table 130 more compact.

[0045] Several lifting members 133 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to lift the glass 300 relative to the second conveying roller 131 or place the glass 300 on the second conveying roller 131, so that the glass 300 can be positioned on the layout table 130, and the glass 300 can be prevented from being transported away by the second conveying roller 131, so that the second conveying roller 131 can transport the next glass 300, so that the required number of glasses 300 can be arranged on the layout table 130. In this way, the arrangement system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can flexibly arrange the glass 300 through the positioning table 110 and the layout table 130, and can realize automatic control without manual arrangement, thereby improving efficiency.

[0046] As an example, the lifting member 133 may be a lifting cylinder having a lifting end surface for lifting the glass 300 when rising. It is understandable that the lifting member 133 may also be other lifting structures.

[0047] It should be noted that when the lifting member 133 lifts the glass 300, one lifting member 133 may lift the glass 300, or multiple lifting members 133 may cooperate to lift the glass 300. When multiple lifting members 133 lift the glass 300, it helps to position the glass 300 on the lifting member 133 more stably.

[0048] In some embodiments, there may be multiple conveyor belts 111 , and each conveyor belt 111 may be raised and lowered between two adjacent first conveyor rollers 111 , so that the conveyor belt 111 may receive the glass 300 at multiple positions.

[0049] Among them, multiple conveyor belts 111 can be arranged according to needs.

[0050] As an example, the conveyor belts 111 and the first conveyor rollers 111 may be alternately distributed.

[0051] As another example, with two first conveying rollers 111 as one group, the positioning platform 110 may be provided with multiple groups of first conveying rollers 111 along the first direction X. A conveying belt 111 is provided between the two first conveying rollers 111 in each group, and no conveying belt 111 is provided between two adjacent groups, thereby saving the number of conveying belts 111 and reducing costs.

[0052] It should be noted that when the conveyor belt 111 transports the glass 300, two or more conveyor belts 111 can be used to transport the glass 300, which helps to transport it more stably; it can be understood that when the glass 300 is small in size or the conveyor belt 111 is large enough, the glass 300 can be transported by only one conveyor belt 111.

[0053] In some embodiments, the arrangement system 100 may further include a plurality of lifting structures, which may be connected to the conveyor belt 111 to drive the conveyor belt 111 to move up and down. The lifting structures may be lifting cylinders or other lifting structures.

[0054] As an example, taking a conveyor belt 111 as an example, the conveyor belt 111 can correspond to two lifting structures, and the driving wheel and the driven wheel of the conveyor belt 111 are respectively connected to a lifting structure, and the two lifting structures can be raised and lowered synchronously to drive the driving wheel and the driven wheel to rise and fall synchronously, thereby driving the conveyor belt 111 to rise and fall.

[0055] It should be noted that the number of the jacking structures may also be one, and multiple conveyor belts 111 may be installed on the same jacking structure, so that one jacking structure can drive multiple conveyor belts 111 to rise and fall synchronously.

[0056] In some embodiments, the arrangement system 100 may further include a control device, a first position detection member 150 and a second position detection member 170 .

[0057] Among them, the control device connects the first conveyor roller 111, the conveyor belt 111, the second conveyor roller 131, the first position detection component 150 and the second position detection component 170. The connection method can be electrical connection or signal connection, so that the control device can receive detection information of the first position detection component 150 and the second position detection component 170, and can also control the first conveyor roller 111, the conveyor belt 111, and the second conveyor roller 131.

[0058] The control device may be a computer, a control panel or other control devices.

[0059] The first position detecting member 150 may be disposed at a feeding end of the first conveying roller 111 , and the feeding end of the first conveying roller 111 may be located at one end of the first conveying roller 111 along the second direction Y, that is, the first position detecting member 150 may be located at one end of the first conveying roller 111 along the rotation axis.

[0060] The second position detecting member 170 is disposed between the first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 . Specifically, the second position detecting member 170 may be disposed between adjacent first conveying rollers 111 and second conveying rollers 131 .

[0061] It should be noted that the second position detecting member 170 is disposed between the first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 , which means that along the second direction Y, the projection of the second position detecting member is located in the gap between the adjacent first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 .

[0062] The first position detection component 150 is used to detect the first position information of the endpoint 310 of the glass 300 when the glass 300 enters the positioning table 110 , and the second position detection component 170 is used to detect the second position information of the endpoint 310 when the glass 300 enters the typesetting table 130 .

[0063] The control device is used to control the conveying stroke of the conveyor belt 111 according to the first position information, and control the lifting member 133 to rise according to the second position information, so that the glass 300 can be conveyed and arranged according to the first position information and the second position information, which helps to arrange the glass 300 more intelligently and flexibly.

[0064] As an example, both the first position detection element 150 and the second position detection element 170 can be used to detect coordinate information of the glass 300 .

[0065] Specifically, the first position detection member 150 may adopt a photoelectric switch, and the first position detection member 150 may include a first transmitter 151 and a first receiver 153, and the first transmitter 151 and the first receiver 153 may be spaced apart at the feeding end of the first conveying roller 111 along the first direction X. The first transmitter 151 may emit a light beam to the first receiver 153 to form a first detection light beam 1511. When the end point 310 of the glass 300 along the second direction Y passes through the first detection light beam 1511, the first position detection member 150 may record the first position information of the end point 310, and the control device may calculate the conveying distance of the glass 300 along the second direction Y according to the first position information, so as to control the conveying stroke of the conveyor belt 111. After the conveyor belt 111 conveys the glass 300 to the desired position along the second direction Y, the conveyor belt 111 descends to place the glass 300 on the first conveying roller 111, and the first conveying roller 111 conveys the glass 300 along the first direction X to the second conveying roller 131.

[0066] Similarly, the second position detection member 170 may also be a beam photoelectric switch, and the second position detection member 170 may include a second transmitter 171 and a second receiver 173, and the second transmitter 171 and the second receiver 173 may be arranged between the adjacent first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 along the second direction Y. The second transmitter 171 may emit a light beam to the second receiver 173 to form a second detection light beam 1711. When the endpoint 310 of the glass 300 passes through the second detection light beam 1711, the second position detection component 170 can record the second position information of the endpoint 310, and the control device can calculate the conveying distance of the glass 300 on the second conveying roller 131 according to the second position information of the endpoint 310, so as to control the lifting component 133. When the glass 300 reaches the required position of the typesetting table 130 along the first direction X, the lifting component 133 rises to lift the glass 300 to prevent the glass 300 from being conveyed away by the second conveying roller 131, so that the required number of glasses 300 and the required glass 300 arrangement pattern can be arranged in sequence on the typesetting table 130.

[0067] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the glass 300 may be a rectangular glass, and the end point 310 of the glass 300 may be the vertex of the glass 300 along the second direction Y, and the end point 310 is also located at the vertex of the glass 300 along the first direction X (i.e., at Figure 2 In the figure, the upper right end point of the glass 300), so that when the glass 300 enters the positioning table 110 along the first direction X, the end point 310 of the glass 300 can first contact the first detection light beam 1511 emitted by the first position detection component 150. Similarly, when the glass 300 enters the typesetting table 130, the end point 310 of the glass 300 can also first contact the second detection light beam 1711 emitted by the second position detection component 170, so that the first position detection component 150 and the second position detection component 170 can detect the vertical coordinate and horizontal coordinate of the same end point 310, which helps to control and calculate the conveying distance of the glass 300 more accurately.

[0068] It can be understood that the glass 300 can also be glass of other shapes, such as round glass, oval glass or glass of other shapes. When the glass 300 is of other shapes, the first position detection member 150 and the second position detection member 170 can also respectively detect different vertices (i.e., end points 310) of the glass 300 along the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the control device can also control the conveyor belt 111 and the lifting member 133 respectively according to the detection information of the first position detection member 150 and the second position detection member 170. In some embodiments, the arrangement system 100 further includes a feed station 190 .

[0069] The feed table 190 is located at one side of the positioning table 110 along the second direction Y. The feed table 190 includes a plurality of third conveying rollers 191 distributed along the second direction Y. The third conveying rollers 191 are used to convey the glass 300 to the first conveying roller 111 along the second direction Y, so that the glass 300 can be conveyed from one end of the rotation axis of the first conveying roller 111 to the first conveying roller 111, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the first position detection member 150, so that the first position detection member 150 can better detect the first position information of the endpoint 310 of the glass 300. For example, the first position detection member 150 can be arranged between the feed table 190 and the positioning table 110.

[0070] In some embodiments, the arrangement system 100 also includes a unloading table 210, which is located on the side of the typesetting table 130 away from the positioning table 110 along the first direction X. The feeding table 190 includes a plurality of fourth conveying rollers 211 distributed along the first direction X. The third conveying roller 191 is used to receive the glass 300 conveyed from the second conveying roller 131, and is used to continue to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X to the placement rack or roller or other structural parts to complete the unloading.

[0071] It should be noted that the arrangement system 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be used for a loading system that transports the glass 300 into a tempering furnace before the glass 300 is tempered, and the arrangement system 100 can also be used for a unloading system that transports the glass 300 out of the tempering furnace after the glass 300 is tempered in the tempering furnace.

[0072] As an example, when the arrangement system 100 is used as a loading system, the feed table 190 is the loading structure of the arrangement system 100, and the unloading table 210 can be the entrance table of the tempering furnace. The second conveying roller 131 can convey the glass 300 along the first direction X to the fourth conveying roller 211, and the fourth conveying roller 211 can convey the glass 300 into the tempering furnace for tempering treatment.

[0073] As another example, when the arrangement system 100 is used as a unloading system, the feeding platform 190 can be the exit platform of the tempering furnace, and the unloading platform 210 can transport the glass 300 to a placement rack or a roller or other structural parts to complete the unloading.

[0074] For ease of description, the following embodiments will be explained using the arrangement system 100 as an example of a feeding system.

[0075] In some embodiments, the arrangement system 100 may further include a support frame, which may serve as a support structure to install various conveyor rollers, conveyor belts 111 and other structural members.

[0076] Specifically, the first conveyor roller 111, the conveyor belt 111, the second conveyor roller 131, the lifting member 133, the third conveyor roller 191 and the fourth conveyor roller 211 can all be installed on the support frame. The first position detection member 150 and the second position detection member 170 can be installed on the support frame, or they can be independently installed at the placement position of the arrangement system 100 (such as the ground).

[0077] It can be understood that the number of support frames can also be four, and the feed table 190, the positioning table 110, the typesetting table 130 and the unloading table 210 can each correspond to a support frame. Specifically, the first conveyor roller 111 and the conveyor belt 111 can be installed on one of the support frames, the second conveyor roller 131 and the lifting member 133 can be installed on another support frame, the third conveyor roller 191 can be installed on another support frame, and the fourth conveyor roller 211 can be installed on another support frame.

[0078] See also Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method, which can be applied to the arrangement system 100 in the above embodiment. The control method includes steps S010, S020, S030, S040 and S050.

[0079] Step S010: Determine the arrangement quantity and the first preset position (such as Figure 2 , the glass 300 is located at the typesetting table 130).

[0080] Each piece of glass 300 corresponds to a first preset position, and a plurality of first preset positions can constitute a desired arrangement pattern of the glass 300 .

[0081] The control device can pre-design the arrangement pattern of multiple pieces of glass 300 on the typesetting table 130 according to the size of the glass 300, so as to determine the corresponding position (i.e., the first preset position) of each piece of glass 300 on the typesetting table 130, and determine the number of glasses 300 that can be arranged on the typesetting table 130 each time, thereby facilitating the subsequent control of each piece of glass 300 to reach the corresponding first preset position, so as to make full use of the space on the typesetting table 130.

[0082] It should be noted that the control device can automatically generate the layout pattern of the glass 300 on the layout table 130 according to the size of the glass 300, or the user can operate the control device to freely arrange multiple pieces of glass 300 to form a desired layout pattern.

[0083] Step S020: According to the first preset position, determine the second preset position (eg Figure 2 In the figure, the positions of the two glass pieces 300 on the positioning platform 110 are as follows: Figure 2 The two pieces of glass in the figure represent the same glass 300 at different positions).

[0084] The second preset position and the first preset position are distributed along the first direction X, and the glass 300 , the first preset position and the second preset position may correspond to each other one by one.

[0085] After predetermining the first preset position of the glass 300 on the typesetting table 130, since the glass 300 is transported from the positioning table 110 along the first direction X to the first preset position on the typesetting table 130, it can be understood that on the positioning table 110, the projection area of ​​the first preset position along the first direction X on the positioning table 110 can be the second preset position corresponding to the first preset position, so that along the second direction Y, the glass 300 can enter the positioning table 110 from any position and enter the second preset position, which helps to transport the glass 300 more accurately.

[0086] Step S030: controlling the conveyor belt 111 to convey the glass 300 to a second preset position.

[0087] When the glass 300 starts to be conveyed into the positioning table 110, the feeding table 190 conveys the glass 300 along the second direction Y to the conveyor belt 111. At this time, the conveyor belt 111 can be in a continuous operation state, and the control device can control the conveying stroke of the conveyor belt 111 to transport the glass 300 along the second direction Y to the second preset position.

[0088] The control device can use a variety of methods to detect whether the glass 300 reaches the second preset position.

[0089] As an example, multiple groups of sensors are arranged above the positioning platform 110, and the multiple groups of sensors can be distributed at intervals along the first direction X, and each group of sensors can include multiple first sensors distributed along the second direction Y. Taking a first preset position as an example, the first preset position is within the projection area of ​​the positioning platform 110 along the first direction X (i.e., the second preset position), and corresponds to multiple first sensors. When the first sensor at the end of the second preset position along the second direction Y (i.e., the end of the second preset position away from the feed platform 190) senses the glass 300, it is determined that the glass 300 has reached the second preset position. Among them, the first sensor can be a visual sensor or other sensors.

[0090] As another example, the control device may also determine the position information of the glass 300 according to the first position detection component 150 to determine whether the glass 300 reaches the second preset position. For details, please refer to the subsequent steps.

[0091] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt 111 may be in a state of continuous operation, or the control device may control the conveyor belt 111 to operate when the glass 300 enters the conveyor belt 111 .

[0092] The conveyor belt 111 is in a running state, which may mean that the first driving member drives the driving wheel to rotate, so that the belt rotates on the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0093] In some embodiments, the above step S030 may include the following steps: 1) The conveyor belt 111 is controlled to rise so that the glass 300 and the first conveyor roller 111 are spaced apart.

[0094] 2) Control the conveyor belt 111 to convey the glass 300 along the second direction Y to the second preset position.

[0095] 3) Control the conveyor belt 111 to descend and place the glass 300 on the first conveyor roller 111 .

[0096] When the glass 300 has not entered the positioning platform 110, the control device can control the conveyor belt 111 to rise, so that the conveyor belt 111 and the third conveyor roller 191 of the feed platform 190 are at the same height, so that the third conveyor roller 191 can convey the glass 300 to the conveyor belt 111. After the glass 300 is conveyed to the conveyor belt 111, since the conveyor belt 111 is in an ascending state, the glass 300 and the first conveyor roller 111 are spaced apart at this time. The control device can control the conveyor belt 111 to run, and convey the glass 300 along the second direction Y, or the conveyor belt 111 can be continuously in the running state, and when the glass 300 enters the conveyor belt 111, the conveyor belt 111 conveys the glass 300 along the second direction Y. When it is determined that the glass 300 has reached the second preset position, the control device controls the conveyor belt 111 to descend, and places the glass 300 on the first conveyor roller 111.

[0097] In some embodiments, the above steps of controlling the conveyor belt 111 to convey the glass 300 to the second preset position along the second direction Y may include the following steps: 1) When the end point 310 of the glass 300 is detected, the position of the end point 310 is set as the first starting point (e.g. Figure 2 , the position of the end point 310 of the glass 300 located on the feed table 190).

[0098] 2) Calculate a first distance from the first starting point to the second preset position along the second direction Y.

[0099] 3) Controlling the conveyor belt 111 to convey the glass 300 to the second preset position according to the first distance.

[0100] In this way, the embodiment of the present application detects the starting position (i.e., the first starting point) of the endpoint 310 of the glass 300 through the first position detection member 150. Since the second preset position is a predetermined position, the control device can calculate the first distance between the first starting point and the second preset position, and can calculate the conveying stroke of the conveyor belt 111 according to the first distance (for example, the number of turns of the driving wheel driven by the first driving member is calculated according to the first distance), so that the glass 300 can be conveyed to the second preset position, which helps to more accurately control the position of the glass 300. After the glass 300 reaches the second position, the control device can control the conveyor belt 111 to descend and place the glass 300 on the first conveying roller 111.

[0101] Among them, the first position detection component 150 can adopt a photoelectric beam switch. When the glass 300 enters the positioning platform 110 from the feeding platform 190, when the end point 310 of the glass 300 contacts the light beam emitted by the first position detection component 150, the first position detection component 150 can determine the starting position of the end point 310 of the glass 300 along the first direction X. For details, please refer to the detection method of the first position detection component 150 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0102] In some embodiments, the above steps control the conveyor belt 111 to convey the glass 300 to the second preset position along the second direction Y, and may also include the step of: after determining that the conveyor belt 111 conveys the glass 300 to the second preset position, controlling the conveyor belt 111 to stop conveying the glass 300.

[0103] After determining that the glass 300 has been transported a first distance along the second direction Y, it is determined that the glass 300 has reached the second preset position. At this time, the control device can control the conveyor belt 111 to stop running, so as to more accurately place the glass 300 at the second preset position, which helps to avoid the conveyor belt 111 from continuously running, causing the glass 300 to be damaged or the position to be inaccurate when the conveyor belt 111 descends.

[0104] When the glass 300 is placed on the first conveying roller 111, the control device controls the conveyor belt 111 to descend to prevent the conveyor belt 111 from affecting the conveying of the glass 300. At this time, the conveyor belt 111 can be in a stopped state. The control device can also control the conveyor belt 111 to restart after the conveyor belt 111 descends.

[0105] Step S040: controlling the first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 to convey the glass 300 to the first preset position.

[0106] After the conveyor belt 111 places the glass 300 on the first conveyor roller 111, the control device controls the first conveyor roller 111 to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X, so that the glass 300 enters the second conveyor roller 131, and the second conveyor roller 131 conveys the glass 300 along the first direction X to the first preset position.

[0107] It should be noted that when the arrangement system 100 is turned on and operated, the first conveying roller 111 and the second conveying roller 131 may also enter a state of continuous operation, thereby not requiring control by a control device.

[0108] Step S050 : determining that the glass 300 reaches the first preset position, and controlling the lifting member 133 located at the first preset position to rise and lift the glass 300 .

[0109] In this way, after the glass 300 reaches the first preset position, the control device controls the lifting member 133 to rise and lift the glass 300, preventing the second conveying roller 131 from continuing to convey the glass 300, so that the glass 300 can be positioned at the corresponding first preset position, so that the arrangement system 100 can continue to convey the next glass 300, and the required number of glasses 300 and the required arrangement pattern have been arranged on the typesetting table 130.

[0110] It should be noted that the control device can use a variety of methods to detect whether the glass 300 reaches the first preset position.

[0111] As an example, a second sensor may be provided on each lifting member, and the second sensor sends a second signal when sensing the glass 300. The control device may predetermine a corresponding number of lifting members 133 located at the first preset position, and when the second sensors on the lifting members 133 located at the first preset position all send the second signal, it is determined that the glass 300 has reached the first preset position. The second sensor may be a visual sensor or other sensors.

[0112] As another example, multiple groups of sensors are arranged above the positioning platform 110, and the multiple groups of sensors can be spaced apart along the first direction X, and each group of sensors can include multiple second sensors distributed along the second direction Y. Taking a first preset position as an example, the first preset position corresponds to multiple second sensors, and when the second sensor at the end of the first preset position along the first direction X (i.e., the end of the first preset position away from the positioning platform 110) senses the glass 300, it is determined that the glass 300 has reached the first preset position. The second sensor can be a visual sensor or other sensors.

[0113] As another example, the control device may also use the second position detection component 170 to determine the position information of the glass 300, so as to determine whether the glass 300 reaches the first preset position, which will be described in detail in subsequent steps.

[0114] The present application is a control method provided by the strength, in which the second preset position of the glass 300 on the positioning table 110 can be determined by the first preset position of the glass 300 on the typesetting table 130, so that the conveyor belt 111 can be more accurately controlled to transport the glass 300 along the second direction Y, and the lifting member 133 can be more accurately controlled, which helps to more accurately position the glass 300 at the first preset position, facilitates the subsequent arrangement of the glass 300, and the arrangement method is flexible and simple, and the position of the glass 300 is relatively accurate.

[0115] In some embodiments, determining that the glass 300 has reached the first preset position in the above step S040 may include the following steps: 1) When the end point 310 of the glass 300 is detected, the position of the end point 310 is set as the second starting point (eg Figure 2 , the position of the endpoint 310 of the right glass 300).

[0116] 2) Calculate a second distance from the second starting point to the first preset position along the first direction X.

[0117] 3) After the second conveying roller 131 conveys the glass 300 for the second distance, it is determined that the glass 300 reaches the first preset position.

[0118] In this way, the embodiment of the present application detects the starting position (i.e., the second starting point) of the endpoint 310 of the glass 300 through the second position detection component 170. Since the first preset position belongs to a predetermined position, the control device can calculate the second distance between the first starting point and the first preset position, and can calculate the conveying stroke of the second conveying roller 131 according to the second distance (for example, the number of revolutions of the second conveying roller 131). When it is determined that the second conveying roller 131 has conveyed the glass 300 for the second distance, the control device determines that the glass 300 has reached the first position, controls the lifting component 133 to rise, and lifts the glass 300.

[0119] Among them, the second position detection component 170 can adopt a photoelectric beam switch. When the glass 300 enters the positioning platform 110 from the feeding platform 190, when the end point 310 of the glass 300 contacts the light beam emitted by the second position detection component 170, the second position detection component 170 can determine the starting position of the end point 310 of the glass 300 along the first direction X. For details, please refer to the detection method of the second position detection component 170 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] In some embodiments, the step S040 of controlling the lifting member 133 at the first preset position to rise and lift the glass 300 includes the following steps: 1) Determine the size of the glass 300 and the coordinate value of the end point 310 at the first preset position, wherein the coordinate value is determined according to the first position information and the second position information.

[0121] 2) Determine the corresponding number of lifting members 133 located at the first preset position according to the size of the glass 300 and the coordinate value of the end point 310 .

[0122] 3) Control a corresponding number of lifting members 133 to rise synchronously to lift the glass 300 .

[0123] In this way, this embodiment determines the lifting member 133 under the glass 300 through the coordinate value of the endpoint 310 and the size of the glass 300. After the glass 300 reaches the first preset position, the multiple lifting members 133 under the glass 300 rise to lift the glass 300, which helps to more accurately control the rise of the lifting members 133 and helps to avoid the lifting members 133 that are in the first preset position but not under the glass 300 from rising and interfering with or damaging the next glass 300.

[0124] In some embodiments, the control method may further include the step of: after arranging the required number of glasses 300 on the typesetting table 130 , controlling the ascending lifting member 133 to descend, and placing the glasses 300 on the second conveying roller 131 .

[0125] In this way, after the required number of glasses 300 are arranged on the layout table 130, the rising lifting member 133 can be synchronously lowered to place the glass 300 on the second conveying roller 131. When the layout system 100 is used for the loading system, the glass 300 can be easily conveyed to the entrance table of the tempering furnace to transport the glass 300 to the tempering furnace for tempering treatment; when the layout system 100 is used for the unloading system, the glass 300 can be easily conveyed to the placement rack or roller to store the tempered glass 300.

[0126] In summary, in the arrangement system 100 and the control method adopted in the embodiment of the present application, the positioning platform 110 includes a conveyor belt 111 and a plurality of first conveyor rollers 111 arranged along the first direction X, and the conveyor belt 111 can be raised and lowered between two adjacent first conveyor rollers 111; the typesetting platform 130 includes a plurality of lifting members 133 and a plurality of second conveyor rollers 131 arranged along the first direction X, and the plurality of lifting members 133 can be raised and lowered between two adjacent second conveyor rollers 131. The conveyor belt 111 can be raised to transport the glass 300 to the desired position of the positioning platform 110 along the second direction Y, and the conveyor belt 111 can be lowered to place the glass 300 on the first conveyor rollers 111. The second conveying roller 131 can receive the glass 300 conveyed by the first conveying roller 111. Several second conveying rollers 131 are used to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X, so as to convey the glass 300 along the first direction X to the required position of the layout table 130. At this time, the lifting member 133 can rise to lift the glass 300 relative to the second conveying roller 131, so that the glass 300 can be positioned on the layout table 130, and the glass 300 can be prevented from being conveyed away by the second conveying roller 131, so that the second conveying roller 131 can convey the next glass 300, so that the required number of glasses 300 can be arranged on the layout table 130. In this way, the arrangement system 100 can flexibly arrange the glass 300 through the positioning table 110 and the layout table 130, and can realize automatic control without manual arrangement, thereby improving efficiency.
