Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass panel production, and in particular to a conveying device capable of realizing the turning conveyance of a glass panel. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of glass panels, from the cutting, edging, coating and other processing steps of the original glass to the final packaging and transportation of the finished product, an efficient and accurate conveying system is required. Modern glass panels are widely used in fields such as building curtain walls, automobile windshields, electronic display screens, etc., and the requirements for the size and quality of glass panels are getting higher and higher.

[0003] With the continuous development of glass processing technology, the processes on the production line are becoming more and more complex, and glass panels need to be transferred between different processing equipment. The conveying device needs to have good compatibility and flexibility to achieve seamless connection between different workstations and improve production efficiency.

[0004] Traditional glass panel conveying devices are mostly based on linear conveying designs, such as common belt conveyors and roller conveyors. The structures of these conveying devices are relatively fixed, and it is often difficult to achieve when encountering situations where turning is required. For example, when a glass panel needs to be transferred from one production line to another production line that is perpendicular to it, the traditional linear conveying device cannot directly complete the turning action and needs to be carried and turned manually or with the help of other auxiliary equipment. This is not only inefficient, but also increases the risk of damage to the glass panel. Summary of the invention

[0013] The first conveying line, the second conveying line, the third conveying line and the upper horizontal section of the circulating track are all located on the same horizontal plane;

[0014] The horizontal section on the upper part of the circulating track is divided into two parts, namely part A and part B. Part A of the horizontal section is connected to the first arc section, and part B is connected to the second arc section.

[0033] The connecting section is composed of a circulating track 4, a connecting conveying part and a supporting part 5;

[0034] The circulating track 4 includes two groups of horizontal segments 401, a first arc segment 402 and a second arc segment 403. The two groups of horizontal segments 401 are vertically parallel to each other. The first arc segment 402 and the second arc segment 403 are respectively connected between the same side of the two groups of horizontal segments 401. The first arc segment 402 and the second arc segment 403 protrude to both sides to form a circular track.

[0035] The outer side wall of the circulating track 4 is provided with a circular track, and the supporting part 5 can circulate on the circular track, and the supporting part 5 is used to support the glass panel;

[0036] The connecting conveying part is composed of two groups of third conveying lines 3, the two groups of third conveying lines 3 are parallel to each other and located on the same horizontal plane, and there is a gap between the two groups of third conveying lines 3;

[0037] The first conveyor line 1, the second conveyor line 2, the third conveyor line 3 and the upper horizontal section 401 of the circulating track 4 are all located on the same horizontal plane;

[0038] The horizontal section 401 on the upper part of the circulating track 4 is divided into two parts, namely part A and part B. Part A of the horizontal section 401 is connected to the first arc section 402, and part B is connected to the second arc section 403. Part A of the horizontal section 401 and the first arc section 402 are located between the intervals of two adjacent groups of first transmission mechanisms at the end of the first conveyor line 1, and part B of the horizontal section 401 and the second arc section 403 are located between the gaps of the connecting conveying parts, and the connecting conveying parts are connected to the second conveyor line 2.

During the process, the support part 5 lifts the conveying panel upward to make the glass panel leave the upper surface of the first conveyor line 1, and moves to the upper horizontal section 401 along the trajectory of the circulating track 4, gradually moving the glass panel from the first conveyor line 1 to the second conveyor line 2.
