Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production technology, and in particular to a non-misaligned step-back mechanism for a glass stacker. Background Technology

[0002] There are various types of stacking equipment in flat glass production lines. Among them, flat gripper and vertical stacking equipment require a step-back mechanism to meet the stacking requirements of glass. The step-back mechanism is usually arranged on the main machine or the container rack support platform. This invention mainly targets the container rack support platform with a step-back mechanism. Currently, the advantage of this mechanism is its simple structure and single movement, but the disadvantage is that it only has a single forward and backward function. During normal sheet unloading, the angle between the suction cup frame and the back of the glass container rack must be fixed, otherwise it is easy to cause scratches on the glass surface. In actual production, the glass container racks of some manufacturers have poor consistency. After the frame is replaced, the back of the new container rack may deviate from the set back. When the deviation exceeds 0.1%, it will become one of the reasons for scratches on the bottom of the glass during sheet unloading.
