[0021] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4The glass universal transport roller platform and glass transport system provided by the present invention are now described. The glass universal transport roller platform comprises a steering roller platform and multiple steering roller groups, the steering roller platform is used to connect the upstream conveying roller 5 and the downstream conveying roller 6; the rotation directions of the multiple steering roller groups are different, and the angles of the rotation directions of two adjacent steering roller groups are consistent; the angles of the rotation directions of two adjacent steering roller groups are consistent; each steering roller group has multiple roller bodies 2 with the same rotation direction, and the multiple roller bodies 2 of the same group are evenly distributed on the steering roller platform, and the roller bodies 2 of different groups are staggered.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the glass universal transport roller platform provided by the present invention has a plurality of roller groups with different directions connected to the steering roller platform, the roller bodies 2 of each roller group are all oriented in the same direction and are evenly spaced, the rotation directions of roller groups in different groups are different, and the angles between the rotation directions of any two adjacent roller groups are the same; when transporting the glass, the glass is first transported to the steering roller platform by the upstream transport roller 5, and the glass is driven to the center of the steering roller platform by the rotation of one or two groups of roller bodies 2; according to the required direction of the downstream transport roller 6, the rotation of different roller groups is switched to drive the glass on the steering roller platform to change the moving direction, so that the transport direction can be arbitrarily configured, the transport route can be planned according to the needs, the normal production rhythm can be ensured, and the production efficiency and the qualified rate can be improved.

[0024] Optionally, the roller body 2 is a rubber roller or the outer layer of the roller body 2 is covered with a layer of felt. The roller body 2 directly contacts the surface of the glass.

[0025] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The steering roller platform is polygonal, and multiple edges of the steering roller platform form an inlet end or an outlet end respectively to smoothly connect the upstream conveying roller 5 or the downstream conveying roller 6; the rotation direction of one group of steering roller groups is consistent with the rotation direction of the upstream conveying roller 5.

[0026] The longitudinal projection of the steering roller table is a polygon, and each edge can be used as an inlet end to connect to the upstream conveying roller 5 or as an outlet end to connect to the downstream conveying roller 6. The edge of the steering roller table is a flush straight line, which is directly at the same height as the upstream conveying roller 5 or the downstream conveying roller 6. A set of steering rollers is provided on the steering roller table along the rotation direction of the upstream conveying roller 5. The steering roller group is a feed roller, and the rotation direction of the feed roller is consistent with the rotation direction of the upstream conveying roller 5. When the glass enters the steering roller table from the upstream conveying roller 5, the feed roller is kept rotating to drive the glass to move smoothly to the steering roller table.

[0027] Each set of steering rollers on the steering roller table has a separate control system and power system. The control system includes an information acquisition module and a control module. The information acquisition module is located at the inlet end or at the upstream conveying roller 5 to obtain the information of the glass to be transported. After obtaining the glass information obtained by the above information acquisition module, the control module makes a judgment on the direction of the glass to be transported, and controls the steering roller group in a certain direction to open after obtaining the judgment structure, so as to transport the glass in a steering direction. The information acquisition module can select a camera, and the control module can select a programmable control system such as a single-chip microcomputer.

[0028] The power system includes a driving mechanism connected to the roller body 2, and the driving mechanism is a rotary motor or other equipment. Taking a roller body 2 as an example, the roller body 2 has a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the steering roller platform. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the rotary motor or the rotating shaft is connected to the rotary motor by means of a gear set. Driven by the motor, the rotating shaft drives the roller body 2 to rotate at the same time to drive the glass on the upper end of the roller body 2 to move horizontally. The steering roller group for the same group can be driven by a rotary motor, or each roller body 2 can be connected to a rotary motor separately. When each roller body 2 is connected to a driving mechanism, if one or more roller bodies 2 do not rotate during the process of transferring the glass, it will not affect the transportation of the glass.

[0029] Correspondingly, the steering roller table is connected with at least one downstream conveying roller 6, and the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6 is the same as that of the upstream conveying roller 5 or is set at an angle. When the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6 is the same as that of the upstream conveying roller 5, the feed roller can be directly rotated continuously to convey the glass entering the steering roller table from the upstream conveying roller 5 to the downstream conveying roller 6. When the downstream conveying roller 6 is set at an angle to the conveying direction of the upstream conveying roller 5, the feed roller is rotated to completely move the glass on the upstream conveying roller 5 to the upper end of the steering roller table, and then the feed roller stops rotating; then the roller bodies 2 of other groups are started according to the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6. Multiple downstream conveying rollers 6 can be set in the circumference of the same steering roller table. The steering roller table can be set with multiple groups of steering rollers in different directions according to the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6.

[0030] To complete the turning of the glass, the turning roller table has at least two turning roller groups. When there are two turning roller groups, the rotation directions of the two turning roller groups are perpendicular or the rotation directions of the two turning roller groups are respectively consistent with the rotation directions of the upstream conveying roller 5 and the downstream conveying roller 6.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotation direction of the steering roller group is consistent with the direction of the corresponding downstream conveying roller 6, or the rotation directions of the two steering roller groups are symmetrically arranged along the direction of the corresponding downstream conveying roller 6.

[0032] When there is only one upstream conveying roller 5 and one downstream conveying roller 6, and there is an angle, there are at least two steering roller groups. Optionally, the rotation direction of one steering roller group is consistent with the conveying direction of the upstream conveying roller 5, and the rotation direction of the other steering roller group is consistent with the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6.

[0033] In order to improve the applicability of the steering roller table, Figure 3 As shown, when there is only one upstream conveying roller 5 and one downstream conveying roller 6, three groups of steering roller groups can be arranged on the square steering roller platform, one of which is consistent with the conveying direction of the upstream conveying roller 5, and the other two steering roller groups are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying direction of the downstream conveying roller 6. When these two steering roller groups rotate at the same time, the glass is subjected to a driving force toward the downstream and a driving force toward the sides. Since the two groups of steering roller groups are symmetrically arranged, the driving forces on both sides are offset, and the glass moves toward the downstream direction.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , when there are multiple downstream conveying rollers 6, the multiple downstream conveying rollers 6 are evenly distributed on several edges of the turning roller table. Figure 4 Taking the six edges in the middle as an example, three sets of steering rollers are arranged in the steering roller table to complete the multi-directional transfer of the glass.

[0035] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the steering roller table includes a support frame and a splicing module, a plurality of splicing modules are sequentially mounted on the support frame, and the upper end surfaces of the plurality of splicing modules are sequentially connected to form a table structure; the roller body 2 is rotatably mounted on the splicing module.

[0036] The lower end of the steering roller table has a support frame, and the upper end of the support frame is used to support the table structure of the steering roller table. A plurality of splicing modules are arranged in sequence, fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame, and cover the support frame to form a table structure.

[0037] The splicing module includes a lower shell 3 and an upper sealing plate 1. The upper sealing plate 1 is located on the upper end surface of the lower shell 3. The edge of the upper sealing plate 1 protrudes out of the outer side of the lower shell 3 and forms an edge sealing structure. Two adjacent upper sealing plates 1 are tightly fitted with the help of the edge sealing structure. The upper sealing plate 1 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal through holes. The roller body 2 is installed inside the lower shell 3. The rotating axis of the roller body 2 is horizontally arranged and located below the upper sealing plate 1. The upper part of the roller body 2 extends out of the upper surface of the upper sealing plate 1 from the through hole.

[0038] The lower shell 3 of the splicing module is installed on the support frame. The inner cavity of the lower shell 3 of the splicing module is used to install the roller body 2, the rotating shaft and the driving mechanism. The upper sealing plate 1 of the splicing module is used to close the inner cavity of the lower shell 3 and form a table structure above the support frame. The edge sealing structure of the upper sealing plate 1 protrudes laterally from the outer side of the lower shell 3. When the lower shell 3 is fixed, the edge sealing structure of the upper sealing plate 1 fits with the edge sealing structure of the adjacent upper sealing plate 1 to ensure the sealing and flatness of the table structure.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal projection of the splicing module is a hexagon, and there are multiple rollers 2 in the splicing module, and the multiple rollers 2 are evenly spaced. The cross section of the lower shell 3 is a regular hexagon, and the cross section of the upper sealing plate 1 is also a hexagon. The edge of the upper sealing plate 1 protrudes from the circumference of the lower shell 3 to form a sealing plate structure. Three types of rollers 2 are installed in the inner cavity of the lower shell 3. The three types of rollers 2 are evenly arranged, and the angles between any two adjacent rollers 2 are consistent. The connecting line of the three rollers 2 forms an equilateral triangle structure.

[0040] Multiple rollers 2 in the same splicing module are connected to a driving mechanism. The rotating shaft of the roller 2 is rotatably mounted on the lower shell 3, and the roller 2 is fixed in the lower shell 3. The rotating shaft of each roller 2 is connected to a driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism can drive the rotating shaft to rotate forward or reverse.

[0041] Each splicing module contains roller bodies 2 in all directions, and the structure of each splicing module is consistent. When replacement is needed, only a single splicing module needs to be replaced. It is easy to install and replace, and production safety is significantly improved, achieving good results.

[0042] The driving mechanism of the splicing module can also adopt a driving motor, a transmission shaft and a gear transmission structure. A transmission shaft is arranged below any row of splicing modules of the steering roller table, and the direction of the transmission shaft is parallel to the rotation axis of the corresponding group of roller bodies 2, and the end of the transmission shaft is connected to the output end of the driving motor. There are multiple groups of gear transmission structures, and each group of gear transmission structures includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The driving wheel is connected to the outside of the transmission shaft and rotates synchronously with the transmission shaft, and the driven wheel is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, and the driving wheel is meshed with the driven wheel. Multiple groups of driving wheels are arranged at intervals along the transmission shaft, and multiple groups of driven wheels correspond to multiple splicing modules one by one. Or there is an auxiliary gear between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the auxiliary gear is connected and fixed to the lower shell 3.

[0043] The row of rollers 2 connected to the transmission shaft actively rotates under the action of the driving motor, while the other rollers 2 in the same steering roller group are in a driven state due to lack of power and only play a supporting role on the glass.

[0044] Similarly, when there are three groups of steering rollers, each group of roller bodies 2 has a set of driving mechanisms. The driving mechanisms of each group of roller bodies 2 do not intersect.

[0045] When installing the splicing modules, according to the glass conveying direction, the hexagonal splicing modules are assembled to form a steering roller table of different shapes such as a rectangle or hexagon. The more sides the steering roller table of the modular transport unit combination has, the more reversible directions it can have.

[0046] The steering roller table also includes a filling module 4, which is connected to the support frame; the filling module 4 is located at the periphery of the splicing module, and the upper end surface of the filling module 4 is flush with the upper end surface of the splicing module, which is used to close the gap at the periphery of the splicing module.

[0047] Since the splicing module is a hexagonal structure, there will be gaps on the edge after the splicing is completed, which makes the edge lacking in aesthetics and the integrity of the supporting surface. Therefore, the filling module 4 is selected to fill the gaps in the splicing module so that the steering roller table forms a complete polygon. The filling module 4 is installed on the support frame. The filling module 4 can be a separate plate body with the same thickness as the assembly module. Its lower part is connected to the support frame, and its upper end is flush with the upper cover plate 1 of the assembly module. The shape of the filling module 4 can be cut and combined according to the shape of the table structure of the final combined steering roller table. Figure 3 In the figure, the filling module 4 has multiple shapes such as an equilateral trapezoid, an equilateral triangle and a right triangle.

[0048] A glass transportation system is also provided, comprising the novel glass universal conveying roller platform, and also comprising a plurality of upstream conveying rollers 5 and a plurality of downstream conveying rollers 6.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the glass transportation system provided by the present invention adopts the above-mentioned new glass universal conveying roller table, and has all the beneficial effects thereof; it adopts modular combination, and uses multiple modular combinations to form roller table layouts with different transportation directions, so as to intelligently sort glass with different requirements; and the modular combination is easy to install and replace, and the production safety is significantly improved, and good results are achieved.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
