Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vacuum glass production equipment, and particularly to an intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum glass is a new type of glass deep-processing product developed based on the principle of thermos bottles. Two or more glass sheets are evenly separated by supports, and the periphery is hermetically sealed, and the inside is evacuated to form a vacuum state. Vacuum glass is widely used in fields such as construction and transportation due to its advantages of sound insulation, heat preservation and energy saving, anti-condensation, lightness, and long service life.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used vacuum glass processing methods are mainly divided into two methods. One method is to first seal the periphery of the vacuum glass, and then evacuate and seal the air through the reserved air extraction holes in the glass. However, due to the small air extraction holes and the narrow slit shape and large area of the inner cavity of the vacuum glass, it takes a long time to evacuate, seriously affecting the production cycle and output. Another method is to achieve the peripheral sealing and evacuation of the glass during the heating and curing and cooling processes of two or more glass sheets, saving the evacuation time. However, during vacuum sealing, evacuation requires heating to a high temperature for exhaust, and after vacuum sealing, it is cooled in a vacuum environment. The glass substrates are heated slowly and have a long cooling time in a vacuum environment, and repeated heating and cooling are required to achieve vacuum processing. Moreover, the existing production equipment is mainly intermittent production, with poor processing continuity, often having problems such as unreasonable process arrangement, complex process, easy waste of energy due to repeated heating and cooling, high cost, etc., and seriously affecting the output, yield, and production efficiency of vacuum glass.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required to be used in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0024] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, improve the production efficiency and product yield of vacuum glass, and reduce the production cost.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line, including an edge pasting machine, a support arranging machine, a dryer, a laminating machine, and a box-type continuous vacuum furnace. The edge pasting machine is used to apply edge-sealing material to the edge of a glass substrate. The dryer is used to dry the edge-sealing material. The support arranging machine is used to arrange support points on the upper surface of another glass substrate, and the support points are used to support the glass substrate with the edge-sealing material. The laminating machine grabs the glass substrate with the edge-sealing material, turns it over, and buckles it on the glass substrate with the support points to combine the two glass substrates to form a double-layer glass. The edge pasting machine, support arranging machine, dryer, and laminating machine in this embodiment can adopt existing equipment. A conveying mechanism is arranged in the box-type continuous vacuum furnace, and infrared heating equipment (which can use external infrared heating lamps) is arranged circumferentially around the conveying mechanism. A mesh tray for loading the double-layer glass is arranged on the conveying mechanism. A layer of double-layer glass is placed on the mesh tray and sent into the box-type continuous vacuum furnace to heat the glass substrate. The box-type continuous vacuum furnace also has a vacuum pumping mechanism. Specifically, the box-type continuous vacuum furnace in this embodiment can adopt the device disclosed in the patent application with the application number "202111342727.4" and the name "A Glass Powder Edge-Sealing Continuous Nozzleless Vacuum Glass Production Line". This box-type continuous vacuum furnace has a feeding area, a vacuum heating area, a holding area, a vacuum cooling area, and a discharging area, and can achieve the purpose of continuous production described in this embodiment. When in use, the difference is that the tray in this patent needs to be designed as a mesh tray. The material of the mesh tray can be a high-temperature resistant metal, and infrared heating equipment is also arranged at the bottom of the mesh tray. During the process of evacuating the double-layer glass, in this embodiment, only one layer of double-layer glass is sent in each time (the meaning of one layer of double-layer glass is: the double-layer glass is regarded as a whole, and there is no stacking phenomenon between the double-layer glasses on the mesh tray. However, one layer can contain several double-layer glasses laid flat in the horizontal direction, and the number of double-layer glasses laid flat depends on the area of the mesh tray). This enables the infrared heating inside the box-type continuous vacuum furnace to heat the double-layer glasses in one layer in all directions. At the same time, in this embodiment, the mesh tray is used to support the double-layer glass, and the shielding effect of the mesh tray on the lower surface of the double-layer glass is poor, and the bottom of the double-layer glass can also be fully radiated and heated, making the overall heating of the double-layer glass more uniform, avoiding the problem in the prior art that when multiple layers of double-layer glasses are introduced each time, the outer double-layer glasses block the inner double-layer glasses, resulting in uneven heating of the double-layer glasses and easy bursting, leading to a low yield. According to the intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line disclosed in this embodiment and evacuating the double-layer glass in the manner disclosed in this embodiment, the probability of bursting of the double-layer glass can be significantly reduced, and the yield can be increased to more than 99%. Moreover, using the box-type continuous vacuum furnace avoids the process of repeatedly heating and cooling the same kettle body, and can also greatly reduce the production cost and improve the production efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, a first glass sheet aligning machine is arranged between the glass sheet combining machine and the box-type continuous vacuum furnace. The first glass sheet aligning machine is used to receive, store, and output the combined glass substrates. In the first glass sheet aligning machine, there are several layers of storage spaces arranged from top to bottom for temporarily storing double-layer glass; both the front end and the rear end of the first glass sheet aligning machine are provided with one-way conveying tables and / or two-way conveying tables.

[0030] The first glass sheet aligning machine and the second, third, fourth, and fifth glass sheet aligning machines mentioned later are all horizontal glass sheet aligning machines, which are existing devices. They generally include a storage part in the middle and two receiving parts located at the front end and the rear end of the storage part. In the storage part, there are several layers of conveying rollers arranged from top to bottom, and a storage space is formed between adjacent conveying rollers. The receiving parts also have conveying rollers. The front receiving part can send the glass substrate or double-layer glass into the storage part for temporary storage, and the rear receiving part can receive the glass substrate or double-layer glass sent out by the storage part and send it into the next processing device. Depending on the number of layers of the sheet output space in the storage part, when the number of layers of the storage space is relatively small, the storage part itself can be lifted and lowered to receive the glass substrate or double-layer glass into each layer; when the number of layers of the storage space is relatively large, the storage part remains stationary, and the receiving part is lifted and lowered to send the glass substrate or double-layer glass into the set storage space, or receive the glass substrate or double-layer glass sent out from different layers of the storage space.

[0031] By arranging the first glass sheet aligning machine at the front end of the box-type continuous vacuum furnace, the double-layer glass can be temporarily stored by the glass sheet aligning machine. When it is necessary to perform vacuum pumping on the double-layer glass, according to the different areas of the temporarily stored double-layer glass, multiple double-layer glasses are reasonably arranged on a mesh tray (the width of the mesh tray is adapted to the width of the box-type continuous vacuum furnace to ensure that the total area of the double-layer glass that can enter the box-type continuous vacuum furnace at one time is maximized), making full use of the supporting area of the mesh tray, ensuring that the total area of the double-layer glass entering the box-type continuous vacuum furnace at one time is maximized, improving the vacuum pumping efficiency of the double-layer glass, and also saving energy.

[0032] The one-way conveying table and the two-way conveying table are existing devices. As glass connection and transportation equipment between glass (glass raw sheets, glass substrates or double-layer glasses) processing mechanisms (edge clothers, support clothers, the first glass sheet aligning machine, box-type continuous vacuum furnaces, etc.), they are used to realize the continuous production of vacuum glass. The one-way conveying table can convey glass in one direction, and the two-way conveying table has the conveying function in two mutually perpendicular directions. Based on the relative positions between adjacent glass processing mechanisms, those skilled in the art can reasonably configure the one-way conveying table and / or the two-way conveying table.

[0033] The intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line in this embodiment further includes a warehousing mechanism, a glass loading machine, a glass receiving table, a laser coding machine, a cutting machine, and a slicing machine, which are connected in sequence. The warehousing mechanism, the glass loading machine, the glass receiving table, the laser coding machine, the cutting machine, and the slicing machine can all adopt existing devices. The glass loading machine is used to move the glass raw sheets in the warehousing system to the glass receiving table. The glass receiving table directly conveys the glass raw sheets or conveys them to the laser coding machine through a one-way conveying table. The laser coding machine is used to perform laser coding on the glass raw sheets. A glass raw sheet may be cut into several glass substrates. Therefore, the laser coding machine will punch several codes on the glass raw sheet according to the sizes of the subsequent glass substrates to be cut. Information such as the size, processing requirements, processing date, and ordering customers of the glass substrates can be obtained by scanning the codes on the glass substrates. And in order to facilitate scanning or viewing the codes on the glass substrates, the laser coding machine punches the codes at a unified corner position on the glass substrates. After the coding is completed, the glass raw sheet is conveyed to the cutting machine by using the one-way conveying table. The cutting machine cuts the coded glass raw sheet according to a preset cutting program. The cut glass raw sheet is conveyed to the slicing machine for slicing and dust removal to obtain separated glass substrates.

[0034] This embodiment further includes a fifth glass arranging machine arranged at the rear end of the slicing machine. A double-sided edge grinding machine for grinding the edges of the cut glass substrates is arranged at the rear end of the fifth glass arranging machine to prevent the sharp edges of the cut glass substrates from scratching the staff. There are two double-sided edge grinding machines arranged in sequence. A rotating table is arranged between the two double-sided edge grinding machines. The front double-sided edge grinding machine grinds the two edges of the glass substrate. The rotating table is used to rotate the glass substrate by 90° so that the rear double-sided edge grinding machine grinds the other two edges. Further, in order to improve the edge grinding efficiency, at least two groups of double-sided edge grinding machines are arranged in parallel. Two double-sided edge grinding machines are arranged in sequence in each group. A rotating table is arranged between the two double-sided edge grinding machines. The two-way conveying table can be used to turn the conveyance of the glass substrates, so as to convey several glass substrates output by the fifth glass arranging machine to the corresponding double-sided edge grinding machine groups. The fifth glass arranging machine is mainly used to temporarily store the cut glass substrates and screen out the glass substrates of the same size according to the size information of the stored glass substrates, and convey them to the corresponding double-sided edge grinding machines by using the two-way conveying table. For example, the glass substrates with the size of 300mm×400mm are conveyed to the two double-sided edge grinding machines with the opening widths of 300mm and 400mm respectively, and the glass substrates with the size of 500mm×600mm are conveyed to the two double-sided edge grinding machines with the opening widths of 500mm and 600mm respectively, so that the opening widths of the double-sided edge grinding machines do not need to be adjusted repeatedly, improving the edge grinding efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cleaning machine for cleaning the glass substrate is provided at the rear end of each group of double-sided edge grinders. A unidirectional conveyor table, a rotary table, and a bidirectional conveyor table are sequentially arranged at the rear end of the cleaning machine, and the rear end of the bidirectional conveyor table is connected to a second sheet sorting machine.

[0036] A toughening furnace is connected to the rear end of the second sheet sorting machine. The function of the second sheet sorting machine is to temporarily store the glass substrates that have completed the edge grinding process, and select several glass substrates that can match each other according to the size of the glass substrates in the temporarily stored glass substrates, and reasonably arrange the glass substrates to reach the maximum loading capacity of the toughening furnace, thereby improving the toughening efficiency. A sixth sheet sorting machine, a sheet splitting machine, an out-of-furnace conveyor line, and a sorting and storage system are sequentially arranged at the rear end of the toughening furnace. Since in order to reach the maximum loading capacity of the toughening furnace, the glass substrates entering the toughening furnace are arranged compactly, similar to forming a large piece of glass. The sheet splitting machine uses an existing device to split the glass substrates out of the toughening furnace and convey them to the out-of-furnace conveyor line. When the number of glass substrates out of the toughening furnace is greater than the splitting efficiency of the sheet splitting machine, the sixth sheet sorting machine can be used to temporarily store the glass substrates out of the furnace to ensure continuous discharging of the toughening furnace. The out-of-furnace conveyor line consists of a unidirectional conveyor table and / or a bidirectional conveyor table, and is used to convey the glass substrates to the sorting and storage system. Along the conveying direction of the glass substrates, outfeed shuttle cars are arranged at both ends of the sorting and storage system. The front outfeed shuttle car corresponds to the out-of-furnace conveyor line, and the rear outfeed shuttle car corresponds to two parallel edge attaching conveyor lines and edge supporting conveyor lines. The toughening furnace can use an existing device, and the sorting and storage system can adopt a traditional vertical sorting and storage system. When adopting a vertical sorting and storage system, the temporary storage capacity of the glass substrates can be increased, and at the same time, a horizontal-vertical conversion table needs to be set in the out-of-furnace conveyor line to convert the horizontally placed glass substrates into a vertically placed state. Both the edge attaching conveyor line and the edge supporting conveyor line include several bidirectional conveyor tables, and the several bidirectional conveyor tables can be connected by a unidirectional conveyor table. This connection method has a lower cost than using only bidirectional conveyor tables. An edge attaching machine is arranged on the side of the bidirectional conveyor table in the edge attaching conveyor line, and an edge supporting machine is arranged on the side of the bidirectional conveyor table in the edge supporting conveyor line; a dryer is connected to the rear end of the edge attaching conveyor line. By arranging multiple bidirectional conveyor tables, edge attaching machines, and edge supporting machines, each edge attaching conveyor line can correspond to multiple edge attaching machines, and each edge supporting conveyor line can correspond to multiple edge supporting machines, so that multiple edge attaching machines and multiple edge supporting machines can perform edge attaching and edge supporting operations simultaneously, thereby improving the edge attaching and edge supporting efficiency while reducing the equipment investment cost.

[0037] In this embodiment, a third glass aligning machine and a fourth glass aligning machine are respectively connected to the rear ends of the dryer and the cloth support conveyor line. Bidirectional conveyor tables are arranged behind both the third glass aligning machine and the fourth glass aligning machine. The third glass aligning machine and the fourth glass aligning machine output glass substrates of the same size according to instructions, and convey the glass substrates to the same conveyor line through the bidirectional conveyor tables, and finally convey them to a laminator for laminating. The double-layer glass after laminating is conveyed into the first glass aligning machine and finally enters a box-type continuous vacuum furnace for vacuum pumping to obtain vacuum glass.

[0038] A bidirectional conveyor table, a horizontal-vertical conversion table, an alley glass aligning machine, a vertical conveyor table, and a glass discharging station are successively arranged at the outlet end of the box-type continuous vacuum furnace. The horizontal-vertical conversion table is used to convert the posture of the vacuum glass; the alley glass aligning machine has a number of horizontally arranged and vertically set storage spaces for vertically storing the vacuum glass, and a packing mechanism is arranged at the glass discharging station; the vertical conveyor table and the glass discharging station transfer the vacuum glass through a manipulator with suction cups. The horizontal-vertical conversion table converts the vacuum glass from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture and then sends it into the alley glass aligning machine. The alley glass aligning machine outputs the corresponding vacuum glass to the glass discharging station for packing according to instructions. The horizontal-vertical conversion table, the alley glass aligning machine, and the packing mechanism can all adopt existing devices.

[0039] Since the participation of staff in the entire intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line is extremely low, and for processes involving the storage or arrangement of glass substrates, upper-layer glass, or vacuum glass, it is necessary to be familiar with the information of the glass and output the glass with corresponding information. Therefore, barcode scanners for scanning the codes on the glass substrates are arranged at the outlet ends of the first glass aligning machine, the second glass aligning machine, the third glass aligning machine, the fourth glass aligning machine, the fifth glass aligning machine, the cleaning machine, the starting end of the furnace outlet conveyor line, the starting end of the edge cloth conveyor line, the starting end of the cloth support conveyor line, and the outlet end of the box-type continuous vacuum furnace. By scanning the codes printed by the coding machine, the barcode scanners can obtain information such as the size information, processing requirements, and ordering customers of the corresponding glass, so as to output the corresponding glass to achieve highly intelligent continuous production. Those skilled in the art should know that the barcode scanners are not limited to being installed at the above positions.

[0040] The intelligent continuous vacuum glass production line in this embodiment also has a control module, which is electrically connected to each mechanism for overall control. The compilation of the control program in the control module and the specific control method are achievable by those skilled in the art after understanding the structure of this embodiment. Therefore, this embodiment does not elaborate on the control method of the control module.

[0041] Adaptations made according to actual needs are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced within the present invention.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention. At the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes.
