Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, specifically to a glass sheet storage and retrieval device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Glass sheet storage and retrieval equipment is a specialized mechanical device that integrates automated storage, retrieval, and conveying functions. It is mainly used for the orderly storage, retrieval, and efficient transfer of glass sheets.

[0003] The prior art, patent number CN221520475U, discloses a raw glass transport device. This patent belongs to the field of glass transport technology and specifically relates to a raw glass transport device, including a base, isolation ribs, and extension ribs. The base isolates the raw glass from the base surface. The isolation ribs are evenly spaced on the top of the base. Extension ribs are located on both sides of the isolation ribs, with their opposing side edges set at right angles. A bottom storage interlayer for holding the glass is formed between the extension ribs and the isolation ribs. The isolation ribs are triangular in shape. The extension ribs and isolation ribs are integrated into a single design, forming a plate surface that fits the glass. A top holding part is also provided on the top of the extension ribs and isolation ribs. This patent can prevent large displacement friction between the individual glass pieces, preventing excessive wear during transportation. At the same time, this side and bottom covering structure can prevent large directional displacement of the glass during transfer, reducing the probability of glass wear.

[0052] A method for storing and retrieving glass sheets using a glass sheet storage and retrieval device:

[0053] S1, Storage Stage:

[0054] S11. The transmission motor 131 of the moving component 13 drives the straight shaft 1311 to rotate, and the transmission chain 1313 drives the long shaft 1322 to rotate, so that the conveyor chain 133 drives the storage frame 142 to move along the transmission seat 134 to the loading station.

[0055] S12. Place the glass sheets horizontally on the fixing rod 143 of the storage frame 142, adjust the spacing between the glass sheets by rotating the inner groove shaft 145, and achieve end buffering limit through the soft connector 113.

[0056] S13, reverse drive motor 131, moves storage frame 142 to preset storage position, completes glass sheet storage;

[0057] S2, Extraction Stage:

[0058] S21, the cylinder 1221 of the extraction component 12 pushes the extraction frame 121 to rotate around the second hinge block 1213 to an inclined angle, so that the friction conveying shaft 1254 contacts the bottom surface of the target glass sheet;

[0059] S22, the servo motor 123 drives the friction conveyor shaft 1254 to rotate through the first transmission gear 1233, the conveyor chain 126 and the third transmission gear 1252, so as to guide the glass sheet from the storage frame 142 through the top block 1212 and send it out.

[0060] S23, the rotator 23 of the extractor 2 adjusts the angle of the placement frame 24 so that the conveyor belt 25 connects with the discharge end of the extraction frame 121, receives the glass sheet and resets to a horizontal state, thus completing the extraction of a single glass sheet.

[0061] The specific implementation process of this invention is as follows: Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0063] The glass sheet handling machine 1 uses a base 11 as its support foundation. An extraction component 12 is integrated in the middle, with moving components 13 arranged on both sides, and a storage component 14 mounted on top. The extraction component 12 adopts a frame structure. The extraction frame 121 is connected to a cylinder 1221 and a fixed block via hinge blocks on both sides, forming an adjustable tilt angle support structure. When the piston rod of the cylinder 1221 extends or retracts, the extraction frame 121 rotates around the second hinge block 1213, causing the frame surface to form a preset angle with the horizontal plane, providing a guiding slope for the glass sheet. The extraction frame 121 is internally equipped with a gear-chain transmission system driven by a servo motor 123. The first transmission gear 1233 drives the third transmission gear 1252 to rotate via the conveyor chain 126, ultimately driving the friction conveyor shaft 1254 to rotate. The surface of the friction conveyor shaft 1254 is covered with a high-friction coefficient material, and its rotational motion smoothly delivers the glass sheet from the storage component 14. The top block 1212 structure ensures that the sheet maintains axial positioning during transport.

[0064] Furthermore, the moving component 13 adopts a chain-gear composite transmission. The drive motor 131 drives the first transmission chain tooth 1312 through the straight shaft 1311, which in turn drives the long shaft 1322 to rotate via the transmission chain 1313. The long shaft 1322 is provided with a second transmission chain tooth 1323 and a fourth transmission gear 1324 at its two ends, respectively. The fourth transmission gear 1324 and the fifth transmission gear 1342 in the transmission base 134 form a closed-loop transmission circuit through the transmission chain 133, driving the gear fixed on top of the transmission chain 133. The storage component 14 of the part reciprocates along a preset path; the storage component 14 consists of a storage frame 142 and an array of fixing rods 143. The fixing rods 143 are connected to the storage frame 142 by bolts. An inner groove rotating shaft 145 is sleeved on its outer periphery. The surface of the rotating shaft is polished to reduce the contact resistance with the glass sheet. When the glass sheet is placed in, the inner groove rotating shaft 145 adaptively adjusts the spacing through the passive rotation of the inner groove rotating shaft. The soft contact blocks 113 set at the four corners of the cutting machine 1 realize the end limit and prevent the glass sheet from slipping.

[0065] Furthermore, the extraction machine 2 is installed on the side of the glass sheet sorting machine 1. Its base 21 supports the rotating seat 22 and the rotator 23. Through multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment, the placement frame 24 is precisely aligned with the discharge end of the extraction frame 121. The bottom of the placement frame 24 is equipped with a conveyor belt 25, which adopts a flexible chain plate structure to adapt to the brittle characteristics of the glass sheet. When the extraction component 12 sends out the glass sheet, the conveyor belt 25 is driven by a motor to contact the bottom of the sheet, and uses friction to complete the final reception and transfer to the next process. The entire equipment is driven by a single power source to extract, move and convey the system, realizing continuous storage and retrieval of glass sheets, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing the risk of manual intervention. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0067] The base 11 of the glass plate sorting machine 1 serves as a carrier, and a drive motor 131 and a drive chain 1313 are installed inside to transmit power to the long shaft 1322 and the conveyor chain 133 system. The storage component 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 inside the storage frame 142 are arranged in a matrix. Each fixed rod 143 has adjustable bolts at both ends connected by threads. The operator can adjust the spacing of the fixed rods 143 according to the specifications of the glass plates to meet the storage needs of different sizes of plates. The inner groove rotating shaft 145 adopts a hollow structure design to reduce weight while ensuring rotational flexibility. An annular oil groove is opened on its surface to reduce friction loss.

[0068] Furthermore, the cylinder 1221 of the extraction component 12 is connected to the extraction frame 121 via a hinge structure. When the piston rod of the cylinder 1221 extends, the extraction frame 121 rotates around the second hinge block 1213, causing the frame tilt angle to match the center line of gravity of the glass sheet. The rotating shaft 1231 driven by the servo motor 123 drives the first transmission gear 1233 to rotate via the first bearing sleeve 1232, and transmits the power to the third transmission gears 1252 at the four corners via the conveyor chain 126. The third transmission gears 1252 are fixedly connected to the bearing shaft 1251, driving the friction conveyor shaft 1254 to rotate synchronously. The surface of the friction conveyor shaft 1254 is made of rubber and has diamond-shaped anti-slip texture, which ensures sufficient friction during the conveying process while avoiding scratches on the surface of the glass sheet. A pressure sensor is installed inside the top block 1212. When the original sheet is detected to be completely delivered, the servo motor 123 is automatically triggered to stop, achieving precise positioning.

[0069] Furthermore, the rotator 23 of the extraction machine 2 adopts a worm gear transmission structure, and the angle deflection of the placement frame 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 tension adjustment devices are set at both ends to ensure constant contact pressure with the glass sheet; when the extraction frame 121 sends out the sheet, the starting speed of the conveyor belt 25 is controlled by a frequency converter to achieve synchronous matching with the sheet conveying speed; the entire equipment realizes automated coordination of storage, extraction and transfer processes through a PLC control system, and the components communicate with each other through an industrial bus, supporting remote parameter adjustment and fault diagnosis functions, which is suitable for online integration applications in flat glass production lines. Specific Implementation Example 3:

[0071] The glass sheet storage and retrieval equipment involved in this embodiment has a coaxial design between the sheet sorting machine 1 and the extraction machine 2 to achieve optimized spatial layout. The base 11 of the sheet sorting machine 1 adopts a frame-type welded structure, with a rectangular channel in the middle to accommodate the movement of the extraction component 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 through a floating joint to eliminate the influence of installation errors on the motion accuracy. The servo motor 123 adopts a vertical installation method, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft 1231 through 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 gear meshing form, and the axial force balance is achieved through the tooth surface inclination angle, which extends the service life of the bearing 1322.

[0072] Furthermore, the transmission chain 1313 of the moving component 13 adopts a double-row heavy-duty model, and the surface of the chain pin is hardened to improve wear resistance; the two ends of the long shaft 1322 are connected to the bearing housing 132 through tapered roller bearings to bear the radial and axial combined 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 sleeve through pins to form a flexible rigid transmission chain; the fixing rods 143 inside the storage frame 142 are arranged in an orthogonal grid, and each fixing rod 143 is equipped with a double-row inner groove rotating shaft 145, and the end of the rotating shaft is provided with a limit retaining ring to prevent axial movement; when the glass sheet is stored, the inner groove rotating shaft 145 automatically adjusts to the lowest position by gravity to form all-round support for the glass sheet;

[0073] Furthermore, the rotating seat 22 of the extraction machine 2 adopts a slewing bearing structure, and its internal gear ring meshes with the drive gear of the rotator 23 to realize the horizontal rotation function of the placement frame 24; the surface of the drive roller of the conveyor belt 25 is opened with spiral grooves to improve the stability of the original sheet conveying by increasing the friction coefficient; when the equipment performs the extraction operation, the rotator 23 first adjusts the placement frame 24 to the preset angle, and then the conveyor belt 25 contacts the discharge end of the extraction frame 121 in a micro-speed feeding mode, and accelerates to the rated speed after the original sheet is completely transferred; the entire storage and retrieval process is controlled in a closed loop by encoders and photoelectric sensors, and the action sequence of each actuator is uniformly scheduled by a programmable logic controller to ensure the posture stability and surface quality integrity of the glass original sheet during the transfer process.
