[0052] Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a glass accessory installation device disclosed in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2A schematic structural diagram of the conveying mechanism disclosed in some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0053] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, a glass accessory installation device 1 is characterized by comprising: a conveying mechanism 11, at least one nail column feeding mechanism 12, at least one spacer block feeding mechanism 13, and at least one installation mechanism 14;

[0054] Among them, the conveying mechanism 11 includes a limiting component 112, the conveying mechanism 11 is used to convey glass, and can fix the glass at a preset position on the conveying mechanism 11 through the limiting component 112; the nail column feeding mechanism 12 is used to provide nail columns; the pad feeding mechanism 13 is used to provide pads, and the pad feeding mechanism 13 and the nail column feeding mechanism 12 are arranged on the same side of the conveying mechanism 11; the installation mechanism 14, the installation mechanism 14 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 11, and the installation mechanism 14 is used to install nail columns and / or pads on the glass.

[0055] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 11 includes a stopper assembly 112 and may also include components with other functions as needed. The conveying mechanism 11 may be a belt conveyor, a plate chain conveyor, a mesh belt conveyor, a roller conveyor, or any other mechanism capable of achieving the aforementioned functions. The preset position refers to a position near the middle of the conveying mechanism 11 and can be manually set, specifically, adjusted based on the size of the glass.

[0056] With the glass accessory installation device 1, glass is placed on the conveying mechanism 11. The conveying structure transports the glass to a predetermined position, and the limiting assembly 112 secures the glass in that position. The transfer mechanism then grabs the corresponding pads and / or studs from the pad feeding mechanism 13 and / or stud feeding mechanism 12 and installs them on the glass. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the glass from the production line to install pads and / or studs; the glass can be installed on the conveying mechanism 11, effectively improving glass production efficiency.

[0057] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of the installation mechanism disclosed in some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 14 includes at least one clamping assembly 141, the clamping assembly 141 includes a first driving assembly 1411, a first clamping jaw 1413 and a second clamping jaw 1414, the first clamping jaw 1413 and the second clamping jaw 1414 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first driving assembly 1411 is arranged on the side of the first clamping jaw 1413 and the second clamping jaw 1414 away from the conveying mechanism 11, wherein the first clamping jaw 1413 is used to clamp the nail column, and the second clamping jaw 1414 is used to clamp the pad, and the clamping assembly 141 also includes a first fixed bracket 1412, and the first fixed bracket 1412 is connected to the first driving assembly 1411.

[0059] The first drive assembly 1411 is disposed on one side of the first clamping jaw 1413 and the second clamping jaw 1414 and is connected to both. The first drive assembly 1411 can drive the first clamping jaw 1413 toward or away from the nail post to achieve the grasping and installation of the nail post. The first drive assembly 1411 can also drive the second clamping jaw 1414 toward or away from the pad to achieve the grasping and installation of the pad. The first drive assembly 1411 can be a gas-driven pneumatic actuator, a liquid-driven hydraulic actuator, or an electrically driven electric actuator. The first clamping jaw 1413 and the second clamping jaw 1414 are connected to the first fixed bracket 1412 via the first drive assembly 1411. A first clamping jaw 1413 and a second clamping jaw 1414 driven by a first driving component 1411 are provided on the installation mechanism 14, so that the installation mechanism 14 can flexibly grasp the pads or nail columns, and can also grasp the pads and nail columns at the same time. There is no need to manually move the glass away from the production line to install the pads and / or nail columns, which greatly saves the installation time of the pads and nail columns and effectively improves the production efficiency of the glass.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 1413 is in conformal connection with the nail post, and the second clamping jaw 1414 is in conformal connection with the spacer.

[0061] The conformal connection between the first clamping jaw 1413 and the nail column means that the portion of the first clamping jaw 1413 that contacts the column of the nail column forms a cylindrical through hole, and the cylindrical through hole on the first clamping jaw 1413 is used to accommodate the column of the nail column. The conformal connection between the second clamping jaw 1414 and the pad means that the portion of the second clamping jaw 1414 that contacts the surface of the pad forms a groove, and the groove and the pad are roughly the same shape to facilitate accommodating the pad. By conforming the first clamping jaw 1413 to the nail column and the second clamping jaw 1414 to the pad, the first clamping jaw 1413 can more stably clamp the nail column, and the second clamping jaw 1414 can more stably clamp the pad, reducing the risk of repeated installation of the installation mechanism 14 after the nail column or pad falls off, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of glass.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 14 includes a robotic arm 142, and the clamping assembly 141 is detachably connected to the robotic arm 142; the mounting mechanism 14 also includes a quick-change assembly 143, the quick-change assembly 143 includes a first connection end 1431 and a second connection end 1432 that are detachably connected to each other, the clamping assembly 141 is connected to the first connection end 1431, and the robotic arm 142 is connected to the second connection end 1432.

[0063] By arranging a quick-change assembly 143 on the mounting mechanism 14, rapid installation and disassembly between the clamping assembly 141 and the robotic arm 142 of the mounting mechanism 14 can be achieved. The quick-change assembly 143 generally consists of two parts, a male end and a female end. One of the first connection end 1431 and the second connection end 1432 is a male end, and the other is a female end. The male end and the female end have mutually matching mechanical interfaces and electrical interfaces to achieve rapid connection and disconnection between the robotic arm 142 and the clamping assembly 141. The mechanical interface can be a chuck type, flange type or other structure. The electrical interface is used to transmit electricity, signals, etc., so that the robotic arm 142 can control and drive different clamping assemblies 141. By arranging a quick-change assembly 143 on the mounting mechanism 14, the mounting mechanism 14 can complete the replacement of the clamping assembly 141 in a short time, and can realize the grasping and transportation of nail columns or gaskets of different sizes, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency and adaptability of the glass production line.

[0064] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 14 also includes at least one first visual detection component 144, the first visual detection component 144 includes a first visual detector 1441, the first visual detector 1441 is configured to detect the position of the nail column and / or the pad; the first visual detection component 144 includes a second fixed bracket 1442, the first visual detector 1441 is connected to the second fixed bracket 1442, the second fixed bracket 1442 has a first through hole 1443 arranged opposite to the first visual detector 1441, and the first visual detector 1441 is configured to detect the position of the nail column and / or the pad through the first through hole 1443.

[0065] The operating principle of the glass accessory installation device 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0066] The glass moves to the preset position through the conveying mechanism 11, and the limiting component 112 fixes the glass at the preset position. The transfer structure moves to the top of the pad feeding mechanism 13 or the nail post feeding mechanism 12, and then detects the specific position of the nail post or pad through the first visual detector 1441. The installation mechanism 14 can grab the appropriate pad or nail post and install it on the glass. The installation mechanism 14 can also grab the pad and nail post separately and install them on the glass separately. At this time, the first visual detector 1441 can detect the position of the pad or nail post on the glass again. It can be seen that the first visual detection component 144 set on the installation mechanism 14 not only helps the installation mechanism 14 to quickly locate the pad or nail post, but also can realize the detection of the installation position of the pad or nail post, effectively improving the installation accuracy and production efficiency of the glass.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 11 includes a first conveying component 113, a second conveying component 114 and a plurality of support components 115. The first conveying component 113 is arranged above the second conveying component 114. The plurality of support components 115 are arranged on the second conveying component 114 and on both sides of the first conveying component 113 along the conveying direction X. The first conveying component 11 is used to convey glass along the conveying direction X, and the second conveying component 114 is used to drive the support device to move along a preset direction.

[0068] The support assembly 115 provides support for the glass in the height direction Z of the glass accessory installation device 1. The support assembly 115 is positioned below the glass and provides auxiliary support for the attachment location on the glass. Multiple support assemblies 115 are positioned on both sides of the first conveyor assembly 113 along the conveying direction X. At least one support assembly 115 can be positioned on one side of the first conveyor assembly 113 along the conveying direction X. The support assemblies 115 can move along a predetermined direction within the second conveyor assembly 114. Specifically, the multiple support assemblies 115 can be moved along the conveying direction X or along the extension direction of the second conveyor assembly 114 via the second conveyor assembly 114. The extension direction of the second conveyor assembly 114 intersects the conveying direction X; preferably, the extension direction of the second conveyor assembly 114 is perpendicular to the conveying direction X. Thus, the spacing between the multiple support assemblies 115 on both sides of the first conveyor assembly 113 can be adjusted via the second conveyor assembly 114, thereby adapting to the production of glass of varying sizes and providing excellent support for the installation of glass accessories, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the glass production line.

[0069] Optionally, the support assembly 115 includes a support portion arranged close to the glass and a motor for driving the support portion to move. The support portion can move in the height direction Z to approach the surface of the glass, which is conducive to better supporting the position of installing accessories on the glass.

[0070] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 112 includes a first limiting member 1121, a second limiting member 1122, and a third limiting member 1123. The first limiting member 1121 and the second limiting member 1122 are respectively disposed at both ends of the conveying mechanism 11 in the conveying direction X. The first limiting member 1121 is configured to be mounted on the second conveying assembly 114 in a liftable manner, the second limiting member 1122 is configured to be rotatably mounted on the second conveying assembly 114, and the third limiting member 1123 is movably disposed on both ends of the conveying mechanism 11 perpendicular to the conveying direction X. The first limiting member 1121 and the second limiting member 1122 can limit the movement of the glass in the conveying direction X, and the third limiting member 1123 can limit the movement of the glass in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the conveying mechanism 11, thereby securing the glass in a preset position and facilitating efficient glass production.

[0071] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a nail post feeding mechanism disclosed in some embodiments of the present application is shown; Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the partial enlarged structure of the middle nail column feeding mechanism at point A.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the nail post feeding mechanism 12 includes a loading assembly 121, a vibrating assembly 122, and a positioning assembly 123. The loading assembly 121 is used to feed the nail posts into the vibrating assembly 122, which is used to disperse the nail posts. The positioning assembly 123 is used to position the nail posts. The loading assembly 121 and the positioning assembly 123 are adjacent to each other, and the positioning assembly 123 is disposed between the loading assembly 121 and the conveying mechanism 11. Multiple nail posts can be dispersedly introduced into the vibrating assembly 122 through the loading assembly 121. The vibrating assembly 122 reciprocates horizontally, thereby dispersing the nail posts and changing their posture on the vibrating assembly 122. This facilitates the installation mechanism 14 to quickly grab appropriate nail posts and place them on the positioning assembly 123, thereby improving glass production efficiency.

[0073] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 123 includes a clamping member 1231 , which is used to clamp and fix the nail column to the positioning assembly 123 . The clamping member 1231 is disposed on one end of the positioning assembly 123 close to the mounting mechanism 14 .

[0074] The operating principle of the glass accessory installation device 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] When the nail column feeding mechanism 12 is in use, the vibration component 122 disperses the nail columns fed by the loading component 121, and the installation mechanism 14 grabs the nail columns in the vibration component 122 and places them on the surface of the clamping member 1231 on the positioning component 123. The clamping member 1231 clamps the nail columns, and the installation mechanism 14 grabs the nail columns again, so that the posture of the nail columns grabbed by the installation mechanism 14 remains consistent, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of installing the nail columns on the glass.

[0076] Optionally, the surface of the clamping member 1231 is provided with a groove that is shaped like the nail column. The shaped groove allows the end of the nail column to be accommodated in the groove and fit into the groove, which is beneficial to improving the clamping effect of the clamping member 1231 on the nail column.

[0077] In some embodiments, the nail post feeding mechanism 12 further includes a second visual detection component 124 . The second visual detection component 124 is disposed above the vibration component 122 to detect the position of the nail posts.

[0078] The operating principle of the glass accessory installation device 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0079] The glass is moved to a preset position via the conveyor mechanism 11, where the stopper assembly 112 secures the glass in place. The second visual inspection assembly 124 detects the position of the studs, and the transfer mechanism moves to the vibrating assembly 122 of the stud feeding mechanism 12 to grab the studs. Positioning the second visual inspection assembly 124 above the vibrating assembly 122 allows for rapid detection and positioning of suitable studs within the vibrating assembly 122, thereby improving glass production efficiency.

[0080] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a pad feeding mechanism disclosed in some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the spacer feeding mechanism 13 includes a spacer storage bin 131, a lifting plate 132, and a second drive assembly 133. The lifting plate 132 is partially disposed within the spacer storage bin 131, and the second drive assembly 133 is used to drive the lifting plate 132 toward or away from the mounting mechanism 14. The spacers are disposed within the spacer storage bin 131, and the lifting plate 132 driven by the second drive assembly 133 can move within the spacer storage bin 131, thereby achieving automatic spacer feeding and improving glass production efficiency.

[0082] Optionally, the spacer feeding mechanism 13 further includes a third visual inspection component 135, which is located above the spacer storage bin 131 to detect the position of the spacers. By locating the third visual inspection component 135 above the spacer storage bin 131, the position of the spacers in the spacer storage bin 131 can be quickly detected and located. The installation mechanism 14 can quickly transfer the appropriate spacers to the glass, thereby improving glass production efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second drive assembly 133 includes a lead screw 1331 and a guide rod 1332. The lifting plate 132 is provided with a second through-hole and a threaded hole, wherein the guide rod 1332 is disposed within the second through-hole, and the lead screw is disposed within the threaded hole. The lead screw 1331 of the second drive assembly 133 can drive the lifting plate 132 to rapidly move in the height direction Z. The guide rod 1332 helps to improve the stability of the movement of the lifting plate 132, thereby quickly and stably transporting the gaskets to the upper end of the gasket storage bin 131, thereby improving glass production efficiency.

[0084] Optionally, the second drive assembly 133 includes a motor that drives the screw rod 1331 to move. The motor is arranged on the end of the pad feeding mechanism 13 away from the mounting mechanism 14. The motor drives the screw rod 1331 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting plate 132 to move rapidly in the height direction Z.

[0085] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the pad feeding mechanism 13 includes a translation assembly 134, the translation assembly 134 includes a translation plate 1341, a third fixed bracket 1342 and a third driving mechanism 1343, the translation plate 1341 is arranged on the third fixed bracket 1342 at one end close to the mounting mechanism 14, the third fixed bracket 1342 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pad material storage bin 131, and the third driving mechanism 1343 is arranged between the translation plate 1341 and the third fixed bracket 1342 to drive the translation plate 1341 to move relative to the third fixed bracket 1342.

[0086] The operating principle of the glass accessory installation device 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0087] The glass moves to a preset position through the conveying mechanism 11, and the limiting assembly 112 then fixes the glass at the preset position. The second driving assembly 133 drives the lifting plate 132 in the pad storage bin 131 to move closer to the installation mechanism 14, and the transfer structure moves to the pad storage bin 131 to grab the pad. When there is no pad at the upper end of the pad storage bin 131, the translation plate 1341 of the translation assembly 134 moves toward the pad storage bin 131 along the extension direction of the fixed bracket, quickly pushing the plate at the bottom of the pad out of the pad storage bin 131, and the lifting plate 132 in the pad storage bin 131 pushes the pad to move closer to the installation mechanism 14. It can be seen that the translation assembly 134 is conducive to the rapid feeding of pads, thereby improving the production efficiency of glass.

[0088] Optionally, a photoelectric sensor 136 is provided on one side of the spacer storage bin 131 near the mounting mechanism 14. The photoelectric sensor 136 can detect the spacers at the upper end of the spacer storage bin 131, and when the spacers are used up, the lifting plate 132 is controlled to move closer to the mounting mechanism 14, which helps to reduce the waste of spacers and further helps to reduce the production cost of glass.

[0089] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the glass accessory installation device 1 further includes a glue dispensing mechanism 15 for applying glue to the surface of the studs and / or spacers. The glue dispensing mechanism 15 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 11. The glue dispensing mechanism 15 can evenly apply glue to the surface of the studs or spacers, thereby gluing the studs or spacers to the glass, thereby improving the production quality of the glass.

[0090] Optionally, the glue dispensing mechanism 15 further includes a fourth visual inspection component 151, which is disposed adjacent to the glue dispensing mechanism 15 to inspect the glue on the studs and / or spacers. By disposing the fourth visual inspection component 151 adjacent to the glue dispensing mechanism 15, the distribution of glue on the studs or spacers can be inspected, thereby ensuring that the glue dispensing mechanism 15 has deposited a sufficient amount of glue on the studs or spacers, thereby improving the stability of the studs or spacers installed on the glass and thereby enhancing the production quality of the glass.

[0091] Please combine Figure 1-4 The present application also provides a glass accessory installation method, which is characterized in that the glass accessory installation device 1 as described above is used to install the glass accessory. The glass accessory installation method includes the following steps:

[0092] S1, transporting the glass and fixing it at a preset position;

[0093] S2. providing at least one nail post and / or at least one spacer;

[0094] S3. The installation mechanism obtains nail posts and / or spacers and installs the nail posts and / or spacers on the glass.

[0095] Specifically, the glass is placed on the conveying mechanism 11, and the glass moves to a preset position on the conveying mechanism 11 through the conveying mechanism 11. The conveying mechanism 11 fixes the glass at the preset position through the limiting assembly 112. The glass is limited in the conveying direction X of the conveying mechanism 11 by the first limiting member 1121 and the second limiting member 1122 in the limiting assembly 112, and the glass is limited in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction by the third limiting member 1123 in the limiting assembly 112. Specifically, the nail column feeding mechanism 12 provides at least one nail column, and the pad feeding mechanism 13 provides at least one pad. The installation mechanism 14 can obtain the nail column from the nail column feeding mechanism 12 and directly install the nail column on the glass. The installation mechanism 14 can also obtain the pad from the pad feeding mechanism 13 and directly install the pad on the glass. The installation mechanism 14 can also obtain nails from the nail feeding mechanism 12 and the pads from the pad feeding mechanism 13, and move the nails and the pads to the top of the glass at the same time, and then install the nails and the pads on the glass respectively.

[0096] The above step S1 of conveying the glass and fixing the glass at a preset position includes:

[0097] S11, transporting the glass to a preset position along a transport direction;

[0098] S12, fixing the glass to a preset position by using a limit assembly;

[0099] S13. Provide auxiliary support for the position of glass installation accessories from below the glass.

[0100] In the above step S13, after the glass is fixed at a preset position by the limiting assembly, the support assembly 115 on the conveying mechanism will move to the position on the glass where the accessories need to be installed, so that when the installation mechanism 14 installs the nail column or pad, the position on the glass where the accessories need to be installed is supported from below the glass.

[0101] The above step S3 wherein the installation mechanism obtains the nail posts and / or spacers and installs the nail posts and / or spacers on the glass includes:

[0102] S31, detecting the position of the nail post;

[0103] S32, the installation mechanism clamps the nail column;

[0104] S33, placing the nail post on the positioning assembly on the nail post feeding mechanism for positioning;

[0105] S34, the installation mechanism clamps the nail post on the positioning assembly;

[0106] S35, detecting the position of the pad;

[0107] S36, the installation mechanism clamps the pad;

[0108] S37, moving the nail column and the spacer simultaneously to the top of the glass;

[0109] S38. Apply glue to the nail posts and spacers respectively;

[0110] S39. The installation mechanism installs the nail column and the spacer block to the location where the accessories are installed on the glass.

[0111] In the above step S38, the installation mechanism 14 may apply glue to the nail posts first, or may apply glue to the spacers first.

[0112] In the above step S39, the installation mechanism 14 can first install the nail column to the position of the installation accessory on the glass, and then install the pad to the position of the installation accessory on the glass; or first install the pad to the position of the installation accessory on the glass, and then install the nail column to the position of the installation accessory on the glass.

[0113] Specifically, the installation mechanism 14 detects the position of the nail post on the nail post feeding mechanism using the first visual inspection component 144 and then grips the nail post using the first clamping jaw 1413 of the clamping component 141. The installation mechanism 14 positions the nail post on the positioning component 123 of the nail post feeding mechanism 12 using the first clamping jaw 1413 of the clamping component 141. The installation mechanism 14 then grips the nail post on the positioning component using the first clamping jaw 1413 of the clamping component 141. The installation mechanism 14 detects the position of the pad on the pad feeding mechanism 13 using the first visual inspection component 144 and then grips the pad using the clamping component 141. It should be noted that the installation mechanism 14 can first grip the nail post and then the pad, or first grip the pad and then the nail post. Specifically, the installation mechanism 14 first simultaneously moves the nail post and the pad to the top of the glass, then glues the nail post and the pad separately using the glue dispensing mechanism 15. The clamping component 141 then mounts the nail post and the pad to the glass at the location where the accessory is installed.
