[0061] The specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows: Specific embodiment one:

[0063] The glass unscrambler 1 is based on a base 11, with an extraction assembly 12 integrated in the middle, movable assemblies 13 arranged on both sides, and a storage assembly 14 on the top; the extraction assembly 12 adopts a frame structure, and the extraction frame 121 is connected to the cylinder 1221 and the fixed block respectively through double-sided hinge blocks to form a support structure with adjustable tilt angle; when the piston rod of the cylinder 1221 is extended or retracted, the extraction frame 121 rotates around the second hinge block 1213, so that the surface of the frame forms a preset angle with the horizontal plane, providing a guide slope for the glass original piece; a gear-chain transmission system driven by a servo motor 123 is arranged inside the extraction frame 121, which drives the third transmission gear 1252 to rotate through the first transmission gear 1233 and the conveying chain 126, and finally drives the friction conveying shaft 1254 to rotate; the surface of the friction conveying shaft 1254 is covered with a high friction coefficient material, and its rotational movement smoothly delivers the glass original piece from the storage assembly 14, and the top block 1212 structure ensures that the original piece maintains axial positioning during the conveying process;

[0064] Furthermore, the moving assembly 13 adopts a chain-gear compound transmission form, the transmission motor 131 drives the first transmission sprocket 1312 through the straight shaft 1311, and drives the long shaft 1322 to rotate through the transmission chain 1313. The second transmission sprocket 1323 and the fourth transmission gear 1324 are respectively provided at both ends of the long shaft 1322; the fourth transmission gear 1324 and the fifth transmission gear 1342 in the transmission seat 134 form a closed-loop transmission circuit through the transmission chain 133, driving the fifth transmission gear 1342 fixed on the top of the transmission chain 133. The storage assembly 14 reciprocates along a preset path; the storage assembly 14 consists of a storage frame 142 and an array of fixed rods 143. The fixed rods 143 are connected to the storage frame 142 by bolts. The outer periphery of the fixed rods 143 is sleeved with an inner groove shaft 145. The surface of the shaft is polished to reduce the contact resistance with the glass original. When the glass original is placed, the inner groove shaft 145 passively rotates to adaptively adjust the spacing. The soft connection blocks 113 set at the four corners of the glass processing machine 1 are used to realize end limit to prevent the original glass from slipping.

[0065] Furthermore, the extractor 2 is installed on the side of the sheet sorting machine 1, and its base 21 carries the rotating seat 22 and the rotator 23, and the placement rack 24 is accurately docked with the discharge end of the extraction frame 121 through multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment; a conveyor belt 25 is set at the bottom of the placement rack 24, and a flexible chain plate structure is adopted to adapt to the brittle characteristics of the glass original sheet; when the extraction component 12 sends the glass original sheet out, the conveyor belt 25 is driven by a motor to contact the bottom of the original sheet, and uses friction to complete the final reception and transfer to the next process; the entire equipment uses a single power source to drive the extraction, movement and conveying system, to realize continuous storage and retrieval operations of the glass original sheet, significantly improve production efficiency and reduce the risk of manual intervention. Specific embodiment two:

[0067] The base 11 of the sheet unscrambler 1 serves as a carrier, and a transmission motor 131 and a transmission chain 1313 are arranged inside it to transmit power to the long shaft 1322 and the conveyor chain 133 system. The storage assembly 14 consists of four fixed plates 141 and a storage frame 142. The fixed plates 141 are connected to the conveyor chain 133 by bolts to ensure that the storage frame 142 remains horizontal during movement. The fixed rods 143 set in the storage frame 142 are arranged in a matrix. The two ends of each fixed rod 143 are connected by threaded adjustable bolts.

[0068] Furthermore, the cylinder 1221 of the extraction component 12 is connected to the extraction frame 121 through a hinge structure. When the piston rod of the cylinder 1221 is extended, the extraction frame 121 rotates around the second hinge block 1213, so that the tilt angle of the frame matches the center of gravity of the glass original piece; the rotating shaft 1231 driven by the servo motor 123 drives the first transmission gear 1233 to rotate through the first bearing sleeve 1232, and transmits the power to the third transmission gear 1252 at the four corners through the conveying chain 126; the third transmission gear 1252 is fixedly connected to the bearing shaft 1251, driving the friction conveying shaft 1254 to rotate synchronously; the surface of the friction conveying shaft 1254 is made of rubber material and has diamond-shaped anti-skid patterns, which not only ensures sufficient friction during the conveying process, but also avoids scratching the surface of the glass original piece; a pressure sensor is set inside the top block 1212, and when it detects that the original piece is completely sent out, it automatically triggers the servo motor 123 to stop the signal to achieve precise positioning;

[0069] Furthermore, the rotator 23 of the extractor 2 adopts a worm gear transmission structure, and the angle deflection of the placement rack 24 is achieved by manual adjustment or motor drive; the surface of the conveyor belt 25 is covered with a polyurethane wear-resistant layer, and tensioning adjustment devices are provided at both ends to ensure constant contact pressure with the glass original sheet; when the extraction frame 121 sends the original sheet out, the conveyor belt 25 controls the starting speed through the frequency converter to achieve synchronous matching with the original sheet conveying speed; the entire equipment realizes automated coordination of storage, extraction and transportation processes through the PLC control system, and industrial bus communication is adopted between the components to support remote parameter adjustment and fault diagnosis functions, which is suitable for online integrated applications of flat glass production lines. Specific embodiment three:

The base 11 of the sheet unscrambler 1 adopts a frame-type welded structure with a rectangular channel in the middle to accommodate the movement of the extractor assembly 12. Symmetrical hinge points are set on both sides of the extraction frame 121, and the cylinder 1221 is connected to the first hinge block 1211 via a floating joint to eliminate the impact of installation errors on movement accuracy. The servo motor 123 is installed vertically, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft 1231 via a coupling to ensure the coaxiality requirements of the gear transmission. The first transmission gear 1233 and the second transmission gear 1242 adopt a helical tooth meshing form, achieving axial force balance through the tooth surface inclination angle, thereby extending the service life of the bearing 1322.

[0072] Furthermore, the transmission chain 1313 of the moving assembly 13 is a double-row heavy-duty model, and the surface of the chain pin is quenched to improve wear resistance. The two ends of the long shaft 1322 are connected to the bearing seat 132 through tapered roller bearings to withstand the combined radial and axial loads generated by the movement of the transmission chain 133. The transmission chain 133 is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the chain links are connected to the sleeves through pins to form a flexible and rigid transmission chain. The internal fixed rods 143 of the storage frame 142 are arranged in an orthogonal grid. Each fixed rod 143 is equipped with a double-row inner groove shaft 145, and the end of the shaft is provided with a limit ring to prevent axial movement. When the original glass sheet is stored, the inner groove shaft 145 automatically adjusts to the lowest position due to gravity, forming all-round support for the original glass sheet.

[0073] Furthermore, the rotating base 22 of the extractor 2 adopts a slewing support structure, and its inner ring gear is engaged with the driving gear of the rotator 23 to realize the horizontal rotation function of the placement rack 24; the conveyor belt 25 drives the roller surface to open a spiral groove to improve the original sheet conveying stability by increasing the friction coefficient; when the equipment performs the extraction operation, the rotator 23 first adjusts the placement rack 24 to a preset angle, and then the conveyor belt 25 contacts the discharge end of the extraction frame 121 in a micro-feed mode, and accelerates to the rated speed after the original sheet is completely transferred; the entire storage and retrieval process is closed-loop controlled by encoders and photoelectric sensors, and the action timing of each actuator is uniformly scheduled by the programmable logic controller to ensure the posture stability and surface quality integrity of the glass original sheet during the transportation process.

[0074] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
