Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass transportation and temporary storage technology, specifically to a glass handling device for building curtain walls. Background Technology
[0002] During the installation and use of building curtain wall glass (hereinafter referred to as glass), the transportation methods are divided into in-building transportation and out-of-building hoisting, depending on its size and site characteristics. In-building transportation often involves stacking multiple pieces of glass on a vehicle, then transporting the glass to the installation floor via the vehicle, and finally removing the glass from the vehicle for subsequent operations.
[0003] In traditional building transportation, glass can be loaded onto the vehicle quickly with the assistance of external equipment. However, during the unloading of glass inside the building, due to space limitations, external equipment is not readily available. Therefore, glass is mostly unloaded from the vehicle manually. If gaps are pre-set between the glass panes, the amount of glass transported at one time is reduced, and the pre-set gaps are limited. If the glass panes are stacked without gaps, the unloading process is inefficient and prone to collisions due to the lack of gripping points. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass handling device for building curtain walls to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a glass handling device for building curtain walls, comprising a carrier and a storage mechanism, wherein the storage mechanism is used to store glass, the storage mechanism comprising an L-shaped plate and a support mechanism, the L-shaped plate and the support mechanism being symmetrically arranged front and rear on the upper end of the carrier, a pushing mechanism being provided above the L-shaped plate, and a resetting mechanism being provided on the support mechanism near the outer side of the carrier, wherein the glass is stored vertically and longitudinally between the L-shaped plate and the support mechanism and is supported by the L-shaped plate and the support mechanism together; The support mechanism includes a shaft 1, which is laterally positioned above the carrier. The shaft 1 is longitudinally rotatably connected to a plurality of L-shaped plates 2 arranged in a longitudinal array. The thickness of the L-shaped plates 2 is an integer fraction of the glass thickness. The pushing mechanism is used to push the single glass piece to rotate around the axis and form a misalignment with the other glass pieces, and the resetting mechanism is used to reset the L-shaped plate after rotation.
[0006] Furthermore, a fixed number of I-shaped plates are provided between each of the L-shaped plates, the vertical edges of which coincide with those of the L-shaped plates, and the thicknesses of the two plates are the same.
[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the second L-shaped plate is 0.5 mm, and an I-shaped plate is provided between every three second L-shaped plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a second shaft arranged longitudinally, a frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the carrier, the second shaft is mounted on the frame, an electric push rod is rotatably connected to the upper end of the carrier, the output shaft of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the second shaft, the electric push rod can push the second shaft to rotate around the first shaft, a push plate is slidably connected to the second shaft, and a drive mechanism is driven to the push plate, the drive mechanism is used to control the longitudinal displacement of the push plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a spring, which is mounted on a shaft and fixedly connected to the left side of the push plate. A baffle is vertically arranged on the side of the push plate near the glass. The baffle is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the longitudinal position of the baffle relative to the push plate. A clamping component is provided at the connection between the push plate and the shaft, which is used to fasten the push plate to the shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism includes a nut, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate, and a screw is threadedly connected to the nut, the end of which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the baffle.
[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the vehicle are fixedly connected to arc-shaped tracks, the trajectory of which is concentric with the axis, and the axis is disposed between the two arc-shaped tracks and slidably connected to them.
[0012] Furthermore, the arc-shaped track on the left side has a slot 1 for placing the second shaft, and the arc-shaped track on the right side has a slot 2 for placing the second shaft. The depth of the slot 2 gradually decreases as the second shaft rotates. The second L-shaped plate is equipped with a displacement mechanism, which can move the second L-shaped plate to the left when the second L-shaped plate rotates.
[0013] Furthermore, the displacement mechanism includes a trigger plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the L-shaped plate two and inclinedly arranged, and a spring two is sleeved on the left side of the shaft one, the spring two being used to push the L-shaped plate two to the right.
[0014] Furthermore, the reset mechanism includes a push rod, which is laterally disposed on one side of the L-shaped plate. The push rod is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, which is elastically rotatably connected to the carrier.

The mechanical structure achieves single-piece separation, reducing bumps during manual handling and improving efficiency and safety.
[0016] There is a gap at the bottom between adjacent glass panes to prevent the L-shaped plate from scraping against adjacent glass panes when it rotates, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.
[0017] Due to the thickness design of the L-shaped plate, adjacent glass panes will not rotate synchronously with the L-shaped plate, thus achieving misalignment of the single piece of glass with other glass panes, allowing staff to easily pick up and place it. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] Please see Figures 1-8The present invention provides a technical solution: a glass handling device for building curtain walls, comprising a carrier 1 and a storage mechanism. The storage mechanism is used to store glass. The storage mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 2 and a support mechanism. The L-shaped plate 2 and the support mechanism are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the carrier 1. A pushing mechanism is provided above the L-shaped plate 2. A resetting mechanism is provided on the outside of the support mechanism near the carrier 1. The glass is stored vertically and longitudinally between the L-shaped plate 2 and the support mechanism and is supported by the L-shaped plate 2 and the support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a shaft 3, which is laterally positioned above the carrier 1. The shaft 3 is longitudinally rotatably connected to a plurality of L-shaped plates 4 arranged in a longitudinal array. The thickness of the L-shaped plates 4 is an integer fraction of the glass thickness. The pushing mechanism is used to push the single glass piece to rotate around axis 3 and form a misalignment with the other glass pieces, and the resetting mechanism is used to reset the L-shaped plate 4 after rotation.
[0021] Glass loading: The glass is erected and arranged longitudinally between L-shaped plate 1 2 and the support mechanism. At this time, one side of the glass rests on L-shaped plate 1 2, and the other side is supported by multiple L-shaped plates 2 4. Since the thickness of L-shaped plate 2 4 is an integer fraction of the thickness of the glass, adjacent glass pieces are separated by L-shaped plate 2 4 and arranged neatly. Glass storage: Activate vehicle 1 to transport the storage unit to the designated storage location on the predetermined floor; Single-piece loading and unloading: When a single piece of glass needs to be loaded or unloaded, the carrier 1 is first driven to transport the storage mechanism to the construction position, and then the pushing mechanism is activated. The pushing mechanism pushes the single piece of glass away from the side of the L-shaped plate 2, so that the glass rotates around the axis 3. The corresponding L-shaped plate 4 rotates with the glass. Due to the thickness parameter design of the L-shaped plate 4, adjacent glass cannot rotate synchronously due to the restriction of other L-shaped plates 4, thereby achieving the misalignment of the single piece of glass with other glass, which can be easily loaded and unloaded by the staff. Reset operation: After the pick-up and drop-off are completed, the control push mechanism is reset, and the reset mechanism drives the L-shaped plate 4 back to the initial position.
[0022] This device, with its L-shaped plate and support mechanism symmetrically arranged front and rear, can vertically and stably support the glass, preventing it from tipping over during transport and improving handling safety. It also avoids the risk of scratches or breakage when the glass is transported flat (vertical transport is safer). The thickness of the L-shaped plate in the support mechanism is an integer fraction of the glass thickness. Together with the pushing mechanism, it can push a single piece of glass to rotate around axis one, causing it to be misaligned with other pieces of glass, making it easier to pick up and put down, reducing friction and collisions during handling and glass damage. The mechanical structure achieves single-piece separation, reducing bumps during manual handling and improving efficiency and safety.
[0023] Furthermore, a fixed number of L-shaped plates 4 are provided with I-shaped plates 5, the vertical edges of which coincide with those of the L-shaped plates 4, and the thickness of both is the same.
[0024] The thickness of glass varies depending on the type of glass, such as... Single-pane glass: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm; Insulating glass: 5+6A+5mm, 5+9A+5mm, etc.
[0025] Therefore, the thickness of the same type of glass has fixed specifications. Taking single-pane glass as an example: Furthermore, the thickness of the L-shaped plate 4 is 0.5mm, and an I-shaped plate 5 is provided between every three L-shaped plates 4.
[0026] The thickness of L-shaped plate 24 is 0.5mm. An I-shaped plate 5 is set between every three L-shaped plates 24. That is, the support members formed by L-shaped plates 24 and I-shaped plates 5 together have a 0.5mm gap at the bottom every 2mm. The gap is used to eliminate the dimensional tolerance of the glass. When the equipment stores glass of different thicknesses (the minimum thickness of single-pane glass used in curtain wall is 6mm, so the storage of 5mm single-pane glass is not considered), there is a 0.5mm gap at the bottom of each adjacent glass, which prevents the L-shaped plate 24 from scratching the adjacent glass when it rotates with the glass, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.
[0027] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a longitudinally arranged shaft 6, a frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the carrier 1, the shaft 6 is mounted on the frame, an electric push rod 7 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the carrier 1, the output shaft of the electric push rod 7 is rotatably connected to the shaft 6, the electric push rod 7 can push the shaft 6 to rotate around the shaft 3, a push plate 8 is slidably connected to the shaft 6, and a drive mechanism is driven to the push plate 8, the drive mechanism is used to control the longitudinal displacement of the push plate 8.
[0028] When a single pane of glass needs to be picked up or placed, the pushing mechanism is activated. First, the longitudinal displacement of the push plate 8 is controlled by the drive mechanism so that the push plate 8 only overlaps with the side wall of the single pane of glass. Then, the output end of the electric push rod 7 extends and drives the push plate 8 to push the single pane of glass away from the side of the L-shaped plate 2 through the shaft 2 6, so that the glass rotates around the shaft 3. The corresponding L-shaped plate 2 4 rotates with the glass. Due to the thickness design of the L-shaped plate 2 4, adjacent glass will not rotate synchronously with the L-shaped plate 2 4, thereby achieving the misalignment of the single pane of glass with other glass, so that the staff can pick up and place it easily.
[0029] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a spring 9, which is mounted on a shaft 6 and fixedly connected to the left side of the push plate 8. A baffle 10 is vertically arranged on the side of the push plate 8 near the glass. The baffle 10 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the longitudinal position of the baffle 10 relative to the push plate 8. A clamping assembly 11 is provided at the connection between the push plate 8 and the shaft 6 for securing the push plate 8 and the shaft 6.
[0030] The longitudinal position of the baffle 10 relative to the push plate 8 is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism so that the distance of the push plate 8 beyond the right side of the baffle 10 is the same as the thickness of the single glass. Thus, the push plate 8, under the push of the spring 9, cooperates with the limiting effect of the baffle 10 so that the push plate 8 only overlaps with the side wall of the single glass. Then, when the electric push rod 7 is started and drives the shaft 2 6 to rotate around the shaft 1 3, the clamping assembly 11 clamps the shaft 2 6, fixing the push plate 8 relative to the shaft 2 6 until the shaft 2 6 is reset.
[0031] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a nut 17, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 8. The nut 17 is threadedly connected to a screw 18, and the end of the screw 18 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the baffle 10.
[0032] Furthermore, both ends of the carrier 1 are fixedly connected to arc-shaped tracks 12, the trajectory of the arc-shaped tracks 12 is concentric with the first axis 3, and the second axis 6 is arranged between the two arc-shaped tracks 12 and slidably connected to the arc-shaped tracks 12.
[0033] Driven by the electric push rod 7, shaft 2 6 rotates around shaft 1 3. The arc-shaped track 12 limits the movement trajectory of shaft 2 6, making the rotation of shaft 2 6 more stable.
[0034] Furthermore, the arc-shaped track 12 on the left side has a slot 13 for placing the shaft 6, and the arc-shaped track 12 on the right side has a slot 14 for placing the shaft 6. The depth of the slot 14 gradually decreases as the shaft 6 rotates. The L-shaped plate 4 is equipped with a displacement mechanism, which can move the L-shaped plate 4 to the left when it rotates.
[0035] As shaft 2 6 rotates, the right end of shaft 2 6 slides along groove 2 14. Furthermore, as the depth of groove 2 14 gradually decreases, shaft 2 6 moves to the left and drives push plate 8 to move to the left. At the same time, the displacement mechanism causes L-shaped plate 2 4 to move to the left (synchronously with push plate 8). Furthermore, driven by push plate 8 and L-shaped plate 2 4, the single piece of glass between push plate 8 and L-shaped plate 2 4 moves to the left and separates from other glass, making it easier to pick up and put down.
[0036] Furthermore, the displacement mechanism includes a trigger plate 15 fixedly connected to the lower end of the L-shaped plate 4 and inclinedly arranged, and a spring 16 is sleeved on the left side of the shaft 3, the spring 16 being used to push the L-shaped plate 4 to the right.
[0037] When the L-shaped plate 4 rotates, it drives the trigger plate 15 to rotate around the shaft 3, causing the trigger plate 15 to press against the bottom of the adjacent L-shaped plate 4 that has not rotated. This causes the trigger plate 15 to move to the left, and drives the L-shaped plate 4 to move to the left. The L-shaped plate 4, together with the push plate 8, moves the single piece of glass to the left, separating it from other pieces of glass for easy handling.
[0038] Furthermore, the reset mechanism includes a push rod 19, which is laterally disposed on one side of the L-shaped plate 4. The push rod 19 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 20, which is elastically rotatably connected to the carrier 1.
[0039] When the L-shaped plate 24 rotates, it presses the push rod 19, causing the push rod 19 to overcome the elastic force and rotate around the carrier 1. After the glass is picked up and put down, the push rod 19 pushes the L-shaped plate 24 back to its original position under the action of the elastic force.
