Abstract

This invention discloses an automatic glass loading device for a glass tempering furnace, relating to the field of automated loading technology. It includes a support frame with conveyor rollers rotatably connected in an array on the frame. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to one side of the support frame, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the rotating rod between two adjacent conveyor rollers. Each support rod is fixedly connected to an adsorption mechanism. A transmission motor for driving the rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A moving mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower side of the support frame. A follower mechanism for moving glass towards the support frame is mounted on the support frame.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated feeding technology, specifically to an automatic sheet feeding device for a glass tempering furnace. Background Technology

[0002] A tempering furnace is a device that produces tempered glass using physical or chemical methods. During the tempering process, ordinary glass needs to be placed on a conveying mechanism, which moves the ordinary glass into the tempering furnace for tempering. Chinese patent CN1173208A discloses an automatic loading system for a glass tempering furnace. This application sets supports on both sides of the main frame, and sets adsorption components and flipping components on the supports. The flipping component drives the adsorption component to adsorb the glass, thereby transporting the glass to the roller conveying component on the main frame for transport. This makes the glass transported in a regular and efficient manner, reducing labor input costs and human safety hazards. However, each time glass is transported to the conveying component, the distance between the next piece of glass and the flipping component will increase, making it difficult for the adsorption component to adsorb subsequent glass. Furthermore, when processing small pieces of glass, the distance between the glass and the adsorption component is large, the contact between the adsorption component and the glass is small, and the adsorption strength is low. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic glass tempering furnace loading device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The present invention provides an automatic glass tempering furnace loading device, comprising a support frame, on which conveying rollers are rotatably connected in an array, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to one side of the support frame. A support rod is fixedly connected to the rotating rod at a position between two adjacent conveying rollers. An adsorption mechanism is fixedly connected to each support rod. A transmission motor for driving the rotating rod to rotate is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A moving mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower side of the support frame. A follow-up mechanism for moving the glass towards the support frame is mounted on the support frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism includes a suction cup fixedly connected to a support rod, a fixed cylinder is provided outside the suction cup, a first mounting groove is provided on the fixed cylinder, an annular sleeve is slidably connected in the first mounting groove, an air outlet is provided at the end of the annular sleeve away from the fixed cylinder, a separator ring is fixedly connected at the end of the suction cup away from the support rod, the separator ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular sleeve, and a first spring is fixedly connected between the annular sleeve and the first mounting groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the follower mechanism includes a second mounting groove on the support frame near the rotating rod, a first fixed rod rotatably connected in the second mounting groove, a ratchet fixedly connected to the first fixed rod, a pawl rotatably connected to the rotating rod near the outer wall of the ratchet, an elastic rope fixedly connected between the rotating rod and the pawl, a second fixed rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second mounting groove away from the rotating rod, and a gear fixedly connected to the second fixed rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a mounting frame fixedly connected to the support frame on the side away from the rotating rod. The mounting frame has a sliding groove, and a rotating rod is assembled in the sliding groove. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the rotating rod via a sliding block. A moving groove is formed on the fixed plate, and a roller is slidably connected in the moving groove. A mounting plate is rotatably connected to the roller. A movable groove is formed on the mounting plate, and a pushing block is slidably connected at the center of the movable groove. One end of the pushing block extends through to the outside of the mounting plate. Fixed seats are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner walls of the movable groove at both ends of the pushing block. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to each fixed seat. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod extending outside the movable groove. The connecting rod is hinged to the pushing block. A second spring is fixedly connected between the pushing block and the inner wall of the movable groove. A rack is slidably connected to the side of the mounting plate corresponding to the gear. The gear meshes with the rack. A limiting component for driving the rack away from the gear is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a mounting base fixedly connected to the fixing plate, the mounting base having a third mounting groove, a push rod slidably connected in the third mounting groove, one end of the push rod extending through to the outside of the mounting base, the end of the push rod located in the third mounting groove being hinged to a moving rod via a connecting rod, the end of the moving rod away from the push rod abutting against a rack, and a third spring fixedly connected between the push rod and the third mounting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the push rod located outside the mounting base contacts the glass placed on the shelf.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the connecting rod away from the clamping plate is hinged to the side wall of the push block.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the rack is lower than the upper surface of the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the first fixing rod and the second fixing rod are connected by a transmission belt.

[0014] Furthermore, the suction cup is connected to an air pump via a pipe.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention uses a moving mechanism to move a shelf containing glass. A rotating rod drives a support rod to rotate, which in turn moves an adsorption mechanism to the glass to adsorb the glass, increasing the contact area between the adsorption mechanism and the glass and improving the adsorption strength. When the moving mechanism moves the shelf, the clamping plate clamps and fixes the shelf, making the shelf more stable during the movement and preventing it from shaking.

[0017] The moving and following mechanisms ensure that each piece of glass on the shelf maintains the same distance from the support frame after the rotating rod loads the previous piece of glass. This allows the rotating rod to drive the adsorption mechanism to accurately adsorb glass of different specifications, preventing large differences in distance between the glass and the adsorption mechanism, which would otherwise make it difficult for the adsorption mechanism to adsorb and load the glass.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides an automatic glass tempering furnace loading device, including a support frame 1, on which conveyor rollers 2 are rotatably connected in an array. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected to one side of the support frame 1. A support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3 at a position between two adjacent conveyor rollers 2. An adsorption mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to each support rod 4. A transmission motor 6 for driving the rotating rod 3 to rotate is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1. A moving mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the support frame 1. A follow-up mechanism 8 for driving the glass to move towards the support frame 1 is mounted on the support frame 1.

[0031] The movable mechanism 7 moves the shelf containing the glass, while the drive motor 6 rotates the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 rotates the support rod 4, which in turn moves the adsorption mechanism 5 to the glass to adsorb it, increasing the contact area between the adsorption mechanism 5 and the glass and improving the adsorption strength. When the rotating rod 3 flips, it moves the follower mechanism 8, which moves the shelf towards the support frame 1. This ensures that each piece of glass on the shelf maintains the same distance from the support frame 1 after the rotating rod 3 loads the previous piece of glass. This allows the rotating rod 3 to drive the adsorption mechanism 5 to accurately adsorb glass of different sizes, avoiding large differences in the distance between the glass and the adsorption mechanism 5, which would make it difficult for the adsorption mechanism 5 to adsorb and load the glass.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The adsorption mechanism 5 includes a suction cup 9 fixedly connected to the support rod 4. A fixing cylinder 10 is provided outside the suction cup 9. A first mounting groove 11 is provided on the fixing cylinder 10. An annular sleeve 12 is slidably connected in the first mounting groove 11. An air outlet 13 is provided at the end of the annular sleeve 12 away from the fixing cylinder 10. A separator ring 14 is fixedly connected at the end of the suction cup 9 away from the support rod 4. The separator ring 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular sleeve 12. A first spring 43 is fixedly connected between the annular sleeve 12 and the first mounting groove 11.

[0033] In the initial state, under the action of the first spring, the same side of the fixed cylinder 10 and the annular sleeve 12 are far apart. When the support rod 4 rotates, it will drive the suction cup 9 and the fixed cylinder 10 to rotate. When the fixed cylinder 10 rotates, it will drive the annular sleeve 12 to rotate. The annular sleeve 12 will first contact the glass and then stop rotating. At this time, the support rod 4 will continue to drive the suction cup 9 and the fixed cylinder 10 to rotate. The suction cup 9 will drive the separating ring 14 to rotate. The rotation of the separating ring 14 will compress the air between the annular sleeve 12, so that the air is discharged from the air outlet 13, thereby cleaning the glass. Then the suction cup 9 contacts the glass and adsorbs the glass, preventing the suction cup 9 from contacting impurities. There is a gap between the suction cup 9 and the external environment, making the suction cup 9 more stable when adsorbing the glass, preventing impurities on the surface of the glass when entering the tempering furnace, and avoiding defects in the processed tempered glass.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4The follower mechanism 8 includes a second mounting groove 15 opened on the support frame 1 near the rotating rod 3. A first fixed rod 16 is rotatably connected in the second mounting groove 15. A ratchet 17 is sleeved and fixedly connected on the first fixed rod 16. A pawl 18 is rotatably connected on the outer wall of the rotating rod 3 near the ratchet 17. An elastic rope 19 is fixedly connected between the rotating rod 3 and the pawl 18. A second fixed rod 20 is rotatably connected on the inner wall of the second mounting groove 15 away from the rotating rod 3. A gear 21 is sleeved and fixedly connected on the second fixed rod 20.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The moving mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 22 fixedly connected to the support frame 1 on the side away from the rotating rod 3. The mounting frame 22 has a sliding groove 23, and a rotating rod 24 is fitted inside the sliding groove 23. A fixed plate 26 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 24 via a sliding block. The fixed plate 26 has a moving groove 27, and a roller 28 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 27. A mounting plate 29 is rotatably connected to the roller 28. The mounting plate 29 has a movable groove 30, and a pushing block 31 is slidably connected to the center of the movable groove 30. One end of the pushing block 31 extends through the mounting plate 29. The movable groove 30 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the push block 31 at both ends of the inner wall ...

[0036] Please see Figure 5 The limiting component 37 includes a mounting base 38 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 26. The mounting base 38 has a third mounting groove 39. A push rod 40 is slidably connected in the third mounting groove 39. One end of the push rod 40 extends through to the outside of the mounting base 38. The end of the push rod 40 located in the third mounting groove 39 is hinged to a moving rod 41 through a connecting rod. The end of the moving rod 41 away from the push rod 40 abuts against the rack 36. A third spring 42 is fixedly connected between the push rod 40 and the third mounting groove 39.

[0037] The shelf is placed on the mounting plate 29. A drive source rotates the rotating rod 24, which in turn moves the sliding block. The sliding block moves the fixing plate 26, which in turn moves the mounting plate 29. When the mounting plate 29 moves, the pushing block 31 contacts the bottom of the shelf. As the mounting plate 29 moves, the shelf moves the pushing block 31 inwards. The movement of the pushing block 31 causes the connecting rod 33 to rotate around the fixed base 32. The rotation of the connecting rod 33 causes the clamping plate 34 to rotate. 34 clamps the shelf, making it more stable when the mounting plate 29 moves the shelf upward, preventing the shelf from shaking and the glass from falling off. The shelf moves closer to the rotating rod 3, facilitating the suction cup 9 to adhere the glass to the shelf. When the rotating rod 3 drives the support rod 4 towards the glass, the rotation of the rotating rod 3 causes the pawl 18 to rotate. The pawl 18 slides on the surface of the ratchet 17, without driving the ratchet 17 to rotate. The suction cup 9 adheres to the glass, and the rotating rod 3 rotates towards the support frame 1. When in motion, under the action of the elastic rope 19, the pawl 18 and the ratchet 17 mesh, the rotating rod 3 drives the pawl 18 to rotate, the pawl 18 rotates, the ratchet 17 rotates, the ratchet 17 rotates, the first fixed rod 16 rotates, the first fixed rod 16 rotates, and the second fixed rod 20 rotates through the transmission belt, the second fixed rod 20 rotates, the second fixed rod 20 rotates, the second fixed rod 20 rotates, the gear 21 rotates, the gear 21 rotates, the rack 36 moves, the rack 36 moves, the mounting plate 29 moves, the mounting plate 29 moves, and the shelf moves, causing the shelf to move. The glass moves toward the support frame 1. When the shelf moves to a fixed position, the glass will touch the push rod 40. The push rod 40 moves, which drives the moving rod 41 to move. The moving rod 41 moves, which drives the rack 36 to move. The rack 36 will disengage from the gear 21, and the glass on the shelf will be in that position. When the rotating rod 3 drives the suction cup 9 to rotate, the distance between the suction cup 9 and the glass is fixed each time, which facilitates the suction cup 9 to adsorb the glass. This allows the device to feed glass of different specifications and improves the range of applications of the device.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 The end of the push rod 40 located outside the mounting base 38 is in contact with the glass placed on the shelf. When the push rod 40 is in contact with the glass, the gear 21 and the rack 36 can be disengaged through the above-mentioned transmission process, so that the glass is in a fixed position each time it is loaded.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 The end of the connecting rod 33 away from the clamping plate 34 is hinged to the side wall of the pushing block 31. The pushing block 31 moves under the action of the shelf, thereby driving the connecting rod 33 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 34 clamps the shelf.

[0040] Please see Figure 2The upper surface of the rack 36 is lower than the upper surface of the mounting plate 29 to prevent the glass on the shelf from touching the rack 36 and causing damage to the glass.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 The first fixing rod 16 and the second fixing rod 20 are connected by a transmission belt, and the first fixing rod 16 drives the second fixing rod 20 to rotate through the transmission belt.

[0042] The suction cup 9 is connected to an air pump via a pipe, so that the suction cup 9 generates negative pressure through the air pump to adsorb the glass.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
