Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass transportation, in particular to a glass sorting cage. Background Art

[0002] With the continued surge in demand for glass products across numerous industries and the increasing demand for refined products, the handling and transportation of glass sheets has become a key bottleneck hindering production efficiency and product quality. Traditional glass handling methods rely heavily on manual labor, requiring workers to manually handle and organize the glass sheets. This is not only extremely labor-intensive but also prone to collisions and scratches between glass sheets due to careless handling, resulting in high product defect rates and a significant impact on yield rates. Furthermore, manual operations are limited in speed and are unable to meet the rapid pace of large-scale industrial production, leading to low production efficiency and an inability to keep pace with market order growth.

N+1 traction ropes are arranged in parallel and at equal intervals between any first rod and its corresponding second rod. Along the length direction of the plate, N parallel and equally spaced storage spaces are formed between the N+1 adjacent traction ropes. A plurality of columns that can rotate around their axis are installed on the outside of each traction rope along its axis.

[0006] Preferably, the motor assembly specifically includes: a first motor, M first transmission wheels, X second transmission wheels and a transmission chain.

[0014] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the storage space of a sheet storage cage proposed in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] refer to Figure 1-5 The present invention proposes a glass sorting cage, comprising: a base 1, a cage body 2, a plate body 3, M transmission rollers 4, a motor assembly, a cylinder assembly and other components. The base 1 serves as a bearing platform, and the cage body 2 is movably mounted on the base 1. It can move along the length direction of the base 1, that is, a first direction, so that the cage body 2 can be moved to different working positions. The cage body 2 is provided with N storage spaces 5 arranged in parallel and at equal intervals. These storage spaces 5 are specially designed for one-to-one storage of glass. Each storage space 5 is provided with a glass entrance and a glass exit for convenient entry and exit of glass. The glass sheets can be stored and taken out in an orderly manner, effectively avoiding damage such as collision and scratching.

[0016] It is worth mentioning that M openings 6 are provided at the bottom of the cage 2, and any storage space 5 is interconnected with these M parallel and equidistantly arranged openings 6. The plate 3 is also placed on the base 1 in a movable manner and is located below the cage 2. M transmission rollers 4 are installed on the plate 3. Their corresponding M roller axes are not only arranged in parallel, but also in the same horizontal first plane, and these roller axes are parallel to the first direction, ensuring the stability and directionality of the glass during the transmission process. The motor assembly serves as the core force for driving the transmission rollers 4, which can drive the M transmission rollers 4 to rotate synchronously, allowing the glass sheets to move quickly according to a preset rhythm. The cylinder assembly is connected between the base 1 and the plate The cage body 2 is between the plates 3, and it bears the important task of adjusting the height position of the plate body 3. When the production process requires, the cage body 2 can move on the base 1 to be directly above any storage space 5 among all the storage spaces 5. Once the cage body 2 moves to be directly above a first storage space, the cylinder assembly will respond quickly, and can drive the plate body 3 upward, thereby linking the M transmission rollers 4 to move upward in the M openings 6 corresponding to the first storage space, closely fitting the storage space, and realizing efficient acceptance and transportation of the glass sheets; after the transportation is completed, the cylinder assembly can also drive the plate body 3 and the M transmission rollers 4 to synchronously descend and escape from the M openings 6 corresponding to the first storage space, thereby facilitating the transportation of the glass sheets in the remaining storage spaces 5;

[0017] Further optimize the design details, the bottom of the cage 2 has M+1 parallel and equidistantly arranged first rods 7, and an opening 6 is naturally formed between every two adjacent first rods 7. This structure not only ensures the uniform distribution of the openings 6, but also provides a certain support strength for the overall frame. The upper end of the cage 2 is also equipped with M+1 parallel and equidistantly arranged second rods 8, and the M+1 first rods 7 and the M+1 second rods 8 are precisely one-to-one corresponding. The length directions of the first rods 7 and the second rods 8 are parallel to the first direction, ensuring the regularity of the entire cage structure. Any first rod 7 and its opposite N+1 traction ropes 9 are arranged parallel and equidistantly along the first direction between the corresponding second rods 8. These traction ropes 9 are arranged along the length direction of the plate 3, and the N+1 adjacent traction ropes 9 together enclose N parallel and equidistant storage spaces 5, which can better meet the storage needs of glass pieces of different sizes. In order to further reduce the friction between the glass pieces and the traction ropes 9 when entering and exiting the storage space 5, a plurality of columns 10 that can rotate around the axis are installed on the outside of each traction rope 9 along its axis. These columns 10 are like "pulleys", making the movement of the glass pieces smoother;

[0018] The motor assembly specifically includes: a first motor 11, M first transmission wheels 12, X second transmission wheels 13 and a transmission chain 14. The first motor 11 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the plate body 3, and a driving wheel 15 is installed at its output end. The M first transmission wheels 12 are fixedly mounted on the ends of the M roller shafts in a one-to-one correspondence to ensure that power can be transmitted to each transmission roller 4. The X second transmission wheels 13 are all mounted on the side of the plate body 3 close to the driving wheel 15, and the first transmission wheel 12 is located above the second transmission wheel 13. This layered layout provides a spatial structure for the installation and operation of the transmission chain 14. The transmission chain 14 is tightly mounted between the driving wheel 15, the M first transmission wheels 12 and the X second transmission wheels 13. Through chain drive, the power of the first motor 11 is efficiently distributed to each transmission roller 4, realizing their synchronous rotation.

[0019] The cylinder assembly specifically consists of a mounting base 16 and a cylinder body 17. The mounting base 16 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, providing a mounting point for the cylinder body 17. The cylinder body 17 is placed on the mounting base 16 in a rotatable manner. This rotatable connection method allows the cylinder body 17 to have a certain angle adjustment capability. The end of the cylinder body 17 away from the mounting base 16 is connected to the plate body 3 in a hinged manner, driving the plate body 3 to link the M transmission rollers 4 to move up or down in the M openings 6, completing a close fit with the cage body 2.

[0020] In addition, in order to achieve more automated and precise movement control of the cage 2 on the base 1, the film sorting cage is also equipped with a second motor 18 and a rack 19. The second motor 18 is fixedly mounted on the side of the cage 2 close to the plate 3, and the rack 19 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. Its length direction is parallel to the first direction, providing a guide track for the movement of the cage 2. The output end of the second motor 18 is fixedly mounted with a gear 20 adapted to engage the rack 19. When the second motor 18 is started, the gear 20 rolls on the rack 19, moving the cage 2 along the first direction on the base 1 and positioning it at each required working position, thereby improving the automation level and ease of operation of the entire film sorting cage.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
