Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass production, processing and transportation, and specifically relates to a conveying device for a glass production line. Background Art
[0002] In the process of glass production and manufacturing, glass products can be automatically conveyed through a production line. Usually, professional glass horizontal conveying devices can be used for horizontal conveying. At the end position of the horizontal conveying, it is generally necessary to stack the glass products. After the stacking is completed, it is also necessary to further transfer them to the product stacking area. Therefore, for the entire conveying process of glass, it generally includes the horizontal conveying of single-piece glass, the stacking and piling of multiple pieces of glass, and the conveying and transfer of stacked glass.
[0003] During the process of glass stacking, spacers are usually placed between the glasses to avoid friction and scratches caused by glass contact, disperse pressure to improve stability, provide isolation and protection, ventilation and moisture-proof functions, etc. In actual stacking, at least four spacers are often placed, and the four spacers are distributed close to the four corner positions of the glass to form a stable support and effectively disperse the pressure. In the prior art, in order to improve production efficiency, glass transfer and stacking as well as spacer plate placement are all realized through automated mechanical operations. Glass stacking is generally completed by a glass grabbing and stacking manipulator, and spacer placement is often completed by a specialized spacer automatic placement device. The two operations are carried out independently and are designed in a split manner. Although automated operation can be achieved, the split design does not have synchronization in operation. Therefore, there is a time interval that can be optimized and reduced in the operation steps.
[0004] Chinese Patent with Publication No. CN118954074A discloses a conveying device for a glass production line, which realizes the dual operation functions of glass grabbing and stacking and glass spacer placement through an integrated structure design. The structure is simplified and compact, and can implement the synchronization operation of glass grabbing and stacking and automatic glass spacer placement, optimizing the operation steps, saving the time required for the connection and transition between steps, and indirectly improving the operation efficiency.
[0005] However, with the increasingly diverse application scenarios of glass, the processing requirements for glass of different shapes are also continuously increasing. When faced with some specific arc-shaped glass, the above-mentioned improved grasping and palletizing as well as glass gasket placement structures expose obvious defects. First of all, this structure cannot adjust the angle of the suction cups. Arc-shaped glass has a unique curved surface shape, and ordinary suction cups with fixed angles are difficult to achieve good fit with the arc surface, resulting in easy loosening during the grasping process. In addition, in the process of placing gaskets on arc-shaped glass, due to the certain arc on the side of the arc-shaped glass, when the existing structure places gaskets, the gaskets are extremely easy to slide off, affecting the subsequent palletizing isolation effect. Therefore, how to solve these problems that occur during the grasping and palletizing of specific arc-shaped glass and the placement of glass gaskets has become a key technical problem that urgently needs to be broken through in the field of glass production line conveying devices currently. Summary of the Invention

Compared with the traditional fixed - angle transfer suction cup, this mechanism greatly increases the contact area between the transfer suction cup and the glass, thereby significantly enhancing the adsorption force. At the same time, it can also quickly adjust the spacing between the surrounding transfer suction cups. Whether it is narrow - edge glass or wide - width glass, it can find a suitable transfer suction cup spacing for grasping, enabling this conveying device to handle various glass specifications without frequently replacing equipment or performing complex re - debugging, greatly improving the versatility and flexibility of the production line; Through the setting and operation of the thin - glue coating component and the feeding component, when the transfer manipulator transfers the glass, it can automatically feed the gasket body in a cyclic and orderly manner, ensuring the stability and coherence of use. At the same time, when the gasket is conveyed and isolated, it can automatically apply a thin layer of glue evenly on the surface in contact with the glass, so that the gasket body coated with the thin glue can provide a certain adhesive force in a short time, ensuring that when the gasket body contacts the slope of the arc - shaped glass, it will not fall off or slip out of position, guaranteeing the contact stability between the gasket body and the glass arc surface, and thus ensuring the overall gasket isolation and protection effect.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Embodiment 1: In actual use, it is found that when facing some specific arc-shaped glasses, the existing transfer suction cups 12 cannot adjust the suction cup angle. The arc-shaped glass has a unique curved surface shape, and it is difficult for ordinary fixed-angle transfer suction cups 12 to achieve good fitting with the arc surface, resulting in easy adsorption failure during the grasping process and the fixed characteristic of the spacing between the existing suction cups, resulting in the inability to adjust and find a suitable suction cup spacing for grasping when adsorbing and transferring narrow-edge glasses or wide-width glasses. To solve the above problems, this embodiment is specifically invented.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 , a glass production line conveying device, including a conveyor 1, a lifting and stacking table 2 placed on one side of the conveyor 1, and a transfer manipulator 3 installed on one side of the conveyor 1 to grab and place the glass from the conveying end of the conveyor 1 on the lifting and stacking table 2. A transfer frame 4 is fixedly installed at the end of the transfer manipulator 3. A spacing adjustment component is arranged inside the transfer frame 4. Fixed blocks 10 are arranged at the four corners of the transfer frame 4. Transfer suction cups 12 are arranged on one side of the bottom end of each fixed block 10. Placing cylinders 17 are longitudinally arranged on the other side of each fixed block 10. Angle adjustment components are arranged outside one side of each fixed block 10. A guiding box 20 is horizontally penetrated and arranged at the bottom end of the placing cylinder 17. A placing hole 25 is penetrated and arranged at one side of the bottom end of the guiding box 20 close to the transfer suction cup 12.
[0023] Specifically, the conveyor 1, the lifting and stacking table 2, and the transfer manipulator 3 in this glass production line conveying device are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here.
[0024] The spacing adjustment component includes a stepping motor 1 5 and four lead screws 7. The stepping motor 1 5 is fixedly installed at the middle position inside the transfer frame 4 through a bracket. The four lead screws 7 are rotationally installed through the inside of the transfer frame 4 at equal angles. A bevel gear disc 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the stepping motor 1 5. Limit bevel gears 8 are fixedly installed at one ends of the four lead screws 7.
[0025] One side of each limit bevel gear 8 is meshed and connected with one side of the bevel gear disc 6. One end of the lead screw 7 corresponding to each side penetrates and is threadedly connected inside each fixed block 10. Limit frames 9 are fixedly connected in parallel on one side of the transfer frame 4 close to the top end of the lead screw 7. The top end of each fixed block 10 penetrates and is slidably clamped and installed outside one side of the corresponding limit frame 9.
[0026] The angle adjustment assembly includes a second stepping motor 15 and a worm 14. The second stepping motor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the fixed block 10. The worm 14 is horizontally rotatably installed on the outside of one side of the fixed block 10 through a bracket. One end of the worm 14 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the second stepping motor 15. A connecting column 11 is fixedly connected to the top end of the transfer suction cup 12. A first rotating shaft 13 is fixedly installed through the inside of the connecting column 11. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 13 are rotatably installed through the outside of one side of the bottom end of the fixed block 10. A first worm gear 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the penetrating end of the first rotating shaft 13. One side of the first worm gear 16 is meshed and connected to one side of the worm 14.
[0027] A second rotating shaft 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the placing cylinder 17. One end of the second rotating shaft 18 is rotatably installed through the outside of one side of the bottom end of the fixed block 10. A second worm gear 19 is fixedly installed on the penetrating end of the second rotating shaft 18. One side of the second worm gear 19 is meshed and connected to one side of the worm 14. A number of rubber pad bodies 23 are stacked and placed inside the placing cylinder 17.
[0028] In this embodiment, during use, first, the inclination angle of the transfer suction cup 12 and the distance between the transfer suction cups 12 are adjusted and adapted according to the slope of the glass arc surface to be transferred and the specifications of the glass.
[0029] When adjusting the inclination angle of the transfer suction cup 12, first, control the second stepping motor 15 to start through the existing control module. When the output shaft of the second stepping motor 15 rotates, it will drive the worm 14 on one side to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the worm 14, the first worm gear 16 and the second worm gear 19 meshed on one side will rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the first worm gear 16, the first rotating shaft 13 and the connecting column 11 fixedly installed through its outside will rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the connecting column 11, the transfer suction cup 12 at the bottom will be driven to rotate. At the same time, when the second worm gear 19 rotates, it will drive the second rotating shaft 18, the placing cylinder 17 on one side, and the guiding box 20 at the bottom to rotate synchronously, so as to synchronously adjust the inclination angle of the placing cylinder 17 and the guiding box 20, ensure the accuracy of the subsequent placement of the rubber pad body 23, and ensure that the side surface of the rubber pad body 23 can be closely attached and aligned with the arc surface of the glass in a face-to-face manner, so that when the device as a whole adjusts the inclination angles of the transfer suction cup 12 and the placing cylinder 17, only the rotation direction of the output shaft of the second stepping motor 15 needs to be controlled.
[0030] It should also be noted that when adjusting the spacing between the transfer suction cups 12, first start the stepper motor 5, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 5 rotates, thereby driving the bevel gear plate 6 fixed at the bottom to rotate, and at the same time cooperate with the meshing of the bevel gear plate 6 and the limiting bevel gear 8, so that the rotation of the bevel gear plate 6 will drive the limiting bevel gear 8 and the side screw rod 7 to rotate synchronously, and through the through-threaded connection between the screw rod 7 and the fixed block 10 and the sliding engagement limit of the fixed block 10 by the limiting frame 9, the screw rod 7 will drive the fixed block 10 and the transfer suction cup 12 at the bottom and the placement tube 17 to expand or contract inside the transfer frame 4 when rotating, so that when the overall device adjusts the spacing between the transfer suction cups 12, it only needs to control the rotation direction of the output shaft of the stepper motor 5.
[0031] In summary, when the glass production line conveying device is in use, through the setting and operation of the spacing adjustment component and the angle adjustment component, the transfer robot 3 can flexibly adjust the angle of the transfer suction cup 12 according to the curved surface shape of the curved glass when transferring the glass, so that the transfer suction cup 12 can be fitted with the glass surface to the greatest extent. Compared with the traditional fixed-angle transfer suction cup 12, this mechanism greatly increases the contact area between the transfer suction cup 12 and the glass, thereby significantly improving the adsorption force. At the same time, it can also quickly adjust the spacing between the transfer suction cups 12 on all sides. No matter whether it is narrow-edge glass or wide-width glass, the appropriate spacing between the transfer suction cups 12 can be found for grabbing, so that when the conveying device handles a variety of different specifications of glass, there is no need to frequently replace equipment or perform complicated re-debugging, which greatly improves the versatility and flexibility of the production line.
[0032] Embodiment 2: Based on the above embodiment, it is found during use that when placing gaskets on curved glass, due to the presence of a certain curvature on the side of the curved glass, the gaskets in the existing structure are very easy to slip when placed, affecting the subsequent stacking and isolation effects. This embodiment is specially invented to solve the above problem.
[0033] See also Figure 7 - Figure 9 A thin glue coating assembly is arranged inside the bottom side of the guide box 20 between the placement cylinder 17 and the placement hole 25; the thin glue coating assembly includes a limiting groove 32, a glue coating roller 33 and a glue storage box 31. The limiting groove 32 is opened through the inside of the bottom side of the guide box 20 between the placement cylinder 17 and the placement hole 25, the glue coating roller 33 is rotatably installed in the limiting groove 32, and the glue storage box 31 is fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom side of the guide box 20 near the limiting groove 32.
[0034] On one side inside the guiding box 20, a feeding component is arranged; the feeding component includes a first cylinder 21 and a resisting block 22. The first cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the guiding box 20 away from the placing hole 25. The output end of the first cylinder 21 located inside the guiding box 20 is fixedly connected with the resisting block 22. The resisting block 22 is semi-circular in top view, and the inner wall of the resisting block 22 fits with the outer surface of one of the rubber pad bodies 23.
[0035] Specifically, due to the semi-circular shape of the resisting block 22 in top view, the resisting block 22 can more stably wrap the rubber pad body 23, ensuring more stable pushing and conveying of the rubber pad body 23 subsequently.
[0036] A baffle 24 is horizontally and fixedly installed on the top side of the resisting block 22 away from the rubber pad body 23.
[0037] Specifically, due to the setting of the baffle 24, after the resisting block 22 pushes one of the rubber pad bodies 23 into the placing hole 25, at this time, the baffle 24 can block the bottom opening of the placing cylinder 17, ensuring that the other rubber pad bodies 23 stacked inside the placing cylinder 17 in advance will not fall. After the resisting block 22 retracts and resets subsequently, the second rubber pad body 23 can fall from inside the placing cylinder 17 to one side of the resisting block 22.
[0038] On the outer side of the guiding box 20 at the bottom end of the placing hole 25, a spring guiding tube 26 is fixedly connected. On the inner wall of the placing hole 25, a number of limiting holes 27 are equiangularly and circumferentially embedded. Spring pieces 28 are fixedly installed inside the number of limiting holes 27. Longitudinally and fixedly installed on the top of the guiding box 20 close to the placing hole 25 is a second cylinder 29. The output end of the second cylinder 29 located inside the guiding box 20 is fixedly installed with a resisting plate 30.
[0039] Specifically, due to the setting of the number of limiting holes 27 and the spring pieces 28 inside the limiting holes 27, after the resisting block 22 pushes the rubber pad body 23 into the placing hole 25, it will be supported by the spring pieces 28. Subsequently, through the extrusion of the resisting plate 30, the rubber pad body 23 can be orderly pushed and guided onto the arc-shaped glass surface, ensuring stable overall operation.
[0040] On the penetrating end on one side of the glue application roller 33, a disc 34 is fixedly installed. On the edge on one side of the disc 34, a limiting post 35 is fixedly installed. Horizontally and slidably installed through the outside of the limiting post 35 is a limiting frame 36. On the outer side of the guiding box 20 close to the disc 34, a piston rod 37 is longitudinally slidably installed through a sliding seat. The top end of the piston rod 37 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the bottom end of the limiting frame 36. On the outer side of the guiding box 20 close to the piston rod 37, a suction cylinder 38 is fixedly installed. The piston end of the piston rod 37 is slidably and sealingly installed inside the suction cylinder 38.
[0041] One side of the bottom end of the suction cylinder 38 is fixedly installed with a one-way liquid inlet valve pipe 39 in a penetrating manner. One side of the top end of the guiding box 20 is fixedly installed with a glue storage tank 40. The input end of the one-way liquid inlet valve pipe 39 is fixedly installed inside one side of the bottom end of the glue storage tank 40 in a penetrating manner. The other side of the bottom end of the suction cylinder 38 is fixedly installed with a one-way liquid discharge valve pipe 41 in a penetrating manner. The output end of the one-way liquid discharge valve pipe 41 is fixedly installed inside one side of the bottom end of the glue storage box 31 in a penetrating manner.
[0042] In this embodiment, after the angle between the transfer suction cup 12 and the placing cylinder 17 is adjusted, the transfer manipulator 3 drives the transfer suction cup 12 to descend at this time, adsorbs and transfers a piece of arc-shaped glass conveyed on the conveyor 1 to the side lifting and palletizing table 2 in a aligned manner. After the transfer is completed, at this time, it is necessary to adhere and place the gasket body 23 at the corresponding positions of the four corners of the arc-shaped glass to protect the pattern of the glass transferred subsequently. At this time, the control module controls the activation of the cylinder one 21 on one side. The output shaft of the cylinder one 21 extends, thereby driving the contact block 22 on one side to move synchronously. Through the movement of the contact block 22, the gasket body 23 on one side of the contact block 22 is pushed into the inner part of the placing hole 25 on one side. During the process of the gasket body 23 being pushed into the inner part of the placing hole 25, the bottom surface of the gasket body 23 will contact the top end of the glue coating roller 33 inside the limiting groove 32. As the gasket body 23 moves, the glue coating roller 33 in contact and fit is driven to rotate. Through the rotation of the glue coating roller 33, the glue liquid previously stored in the glue storage box 31 is evenly coated on the contact surface between the gasket body 23 and the glass. Then, by activating the cylinder two 29, the output shaft of the cylinder two 29 extends and is guided by the spring guiding tube 26, thereby driving the contact plate 30 to move and pushing the gasket body 23 coated with thin glue inside the placing hole 25 to abut against the arc surface of the glass, so that the gasket body 23 coated with thin glue can provide a certain adhesive force in a short time, so that when the gasket body 23 contacts the slope surface of the arc-shaped glass, there will be no situation of falling off or slipping and dislocation, ensuring the contact stability between the gasket body 23 and the glass arc surface, so as to ensure the overall gasket isolation and protection effect. At the same time, due to the design that the contact block 22 and the output shaft of the cylinder two 29 do not contact the top surface of the glue coating roller 33 (as Figure 7 shown), when the output shaft of the cylinder two 29 drives the contact block 22 to move back subsequently, it will not trigger the rotation of the glue coating roller 33, ensuring the overall orderly operation.
[0043] It should also be noted that during the rotation of the glue - applying roller 33, it will drive the disc 34 on one side to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the disc 34, the limit post 35 is driven to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the limit post 35 and the through - sliding engagement between the limit post 35 and the limit frame 36, the piston rod 37 is driven to reciprocate inside the suction cylinder 38. At the same time, in cooperation with the conduction of the existing one - way liquid - inlet valve pipe 39 and the glue storage tank 40 and the conduction of the existing one - way liquid - discharge valve pipe 41 and the glue storage box 31, when the piston rod 37 moves inside the suction cylinder 38, a certain amount of glue can be pumped from the inside of the glue storage tank 40 into the inside of the glue storage box 31, ensuring that the glue in the glue storage box 31 is always in a sufficient state and is automatically filled, ensuring that the subsequent glue - applying roller 33 can adhere and transfer the glue in the glue storage box 31 for smearing during rotation, ensuring the overall continuity of use and the overall smearing effect.
[0044] It should also be noted that the type of glue selected should comply with the relevant standards for glass production and storage to avoid residual substances affecting the glass performance. For example, in some production scenarios with high requirements for glass cleanliness, auxiliary adhesive materials that are volatile and residue - free can be selected.
[0045] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
