Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production, and in particular to a glass production line apparatus and a glass production line method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, glass research and development technology is also constantly improving. Glass products are now ubiquitous in daily life. The glass production process involves multiple steps, such as polishing and quality inspection. However, most of the existing glass production equipment on the market currently requires manual handling, and there is a lack of effective connection between different workstations, resulting in low production efficiency and a large consumption of labor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art that require manual handling between production, polishing and quality inspection, thereby providing a glass production line device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A glass production line connection device for connecting different glass production stations, comprising:

[0006] A conveying assembly includes a support, conveying rollers, and conveying suction cups. Multiple conveying rollers are provided, and each conveying roller is rotatably mounted on the support. Multiple conveying suction cups are provided, and each conveying suction cup is fixedly mounted on the conveying roller along the circumferential direction of the conveying roller. The height of the conveying suction cups gradually decreases along the rotation direction of the conveying roller.

[0007] The flipping assembly includes a first power component, a flipping component, and a plurality of flipping suction cups. The first power component is fixedly mounted on the bracket, and the output shaft of the first power component is fixed to the flipping component. Each of the flipping suction cups is spaced apart on the flipping component. In the vertical direction, the height of the flipping suction cups is lower than the lowest height of some of the conveying suction cups.

[0008] A polishing assembly is provided, comprising at least two components, and is spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly. Each polishing assembly includes a fixed frame and a polishing component rotatably mounted on the fixed frame. The polishing component is capable of polishing glass.

[0009] The quality inspection components are configured in at least two locations, and are positioned downstream of the grinding components along the transmission direction of the conveying components.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying suction cup includes a connecting part and an adsorption surface, the adsorption surface is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the connecting part is fixedly connected to the conveying roller; along the rotation direction of the conveying roller, the height of the adsorption surface gradually decreases; this design enables a stable adsorption force to be continuously provided during the glass movement, effectively preventing the glass from shifting or shaking; at the same time, when the glass needs to be released, the lower-height adsorption surface detaches from the glass surface first, thereby reducing interference with the glass movement and ensuring that the glass can move smoothly and stably to the next station.

[0011] Preferably, the polishing assembly further includes a second power component. The polishing component includes a rotating roller, multiple polishing blocks, and a polishing area. The output end of the second power component is connected to the rotating roller. The rotating roller is fixedly connected to the polishing blocks. The polishing blocks are fixedly connected to a bracket. The multiple polishing blocks are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The multiple polishing blocks at least partially abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. In the vertical direction, the polishing area is disposed between the multiple polishing blocks. This design allows glass with right-angled edges to safely pass through the polishing area. The shape of the polishing area matches the target shape of the edge of the glass to be polished, which can both clamp the glass and polish the glass edge according to the target shape of the glass edge.

[0012] Preferably, the glass production line device further includes a rotating assembly, which includes a second driving component, a rotating component, and a rotating suction cup. The second driving component is connected to the rotating component, and the rotating component is fixedly connected to the rotating suction cup. The rotating component is configured to rotate around its own axis and reciprocate in the vertical direction. The rotating suction cup adsorbs the glass surface, and the second driving component provides power to the rotating component, enabling the rotating component to drive the glass to rotate. This works in conjunction with the polishing components. The first set of polishing components polishes along the length of the glass, while the rotating assembly drives the glass to rotate. The second set of polishing components polishes along the width of the glass, thereby polishing the four edges of the glass according to a predetermined target without requiring manual rotation of the glass.

[0013] Preferably, the grinding components are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating component along the length direction, and a portion of the quality inspection component is respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating component along the width direction; after the first set of grinding components finishes grinding both sides of the glass, the rotating component moves upward in the vertical direction, the camera takes a picture of the glass, the rotating component first moves downward in the vertical direction, and then drives the glass to rotate, the conveying component moves the glass to the next grinding station, the next set of grinding components grinds the un-grinded sides of the glass, and the conveying component continues to move the glass to the next quality inspection station, thereby realizing the grinding and quality inspection process of the glass.

[0014] Preferably, the polishing assembly further includes a movable shaft and a first driving component whose output end is connected to the movable shaft. The movable shaft is connected to the fixed frame and moves in a horizontal direction. At least two of the polishing assemblies are set as a group. The movable shaft can move in a horizontal direction, and a group of polishing assemblies can move relative to each other in a horizontal direction at the same time to clamp the glass.

[0015] Preferably, the quality inspection component has a light source and a camera, with at least one light source and one camera forming a group, and are respectively fixedly mounted on two vertical plates. The vertical plates are located on both sides of the bracket. The rotating component moves vertically to its highest position, and the height of the light source is equal to the highest position of the rotating component. This arrangement ensures that the light illuminates the glass surface at the optimal angle, avoids shadows and reflections, and improves the clarity of image acquisition.

[0016] A glass production line method includes the following steps:

[0017] S1, the flipping suction cup adsorbs the glass on the production station, the first power component drives the flipping component to rotate, and rotates the glass to the conveyor roller;

[0018] S2, the conveyor rollers move the glass horizontally to the grinding station, the grinding parts grind the glass along the length or width of the glass, the conveyor rollers continue to move the glass to the quality inspection station, at this time, the rotating suction cups adsorb the glass, the rotating components move the glass vertically upward to the highest position, and the camera takes the first picture of the glass.

[0019] S3, the rotating component drives the glass to rotate, and the rotating component drives the glass to move vertically downward to the lowest position. The rotating suction cup stops adsorbing the glass, and the conveying roller drives the glass to the next polishing station again. The polishing part polishes along the width or length of the glass and moves to the next quality inspection station. The camera takes a second picture of the glass.

[0020] S4, the conveyor rollers move the glass onto the flipper. The flipper can rotate the glass to the next station for further processing, or, after processing, rotate the glass to the corresponding placement position.

[0021] Preferably, when the grinding element grinds the edge of the glass, the conveying roller drives the glass to continue moving in the horizontal direction, and the conveying suction cup adsorbs the surface of the glass.

[0022] Preferably, in either step S2 or S3, the two cameras take two photos of the glass. If no scratches or bubbles are detected in either photo, the glass enters the next work station or is completed. If scratches or bubbles are detected in either photo, the glass enters the recycling station.

[0023] Preferably, in either step S2 or S3, the first camera takes three pictures of the glass: the first picture is taken as soon as the glass enters the quality inspection component's station; the second picture is taken as the glass is fully inside the quality inspection component's station; and the third picture is taken as the glass leaves the quality inspection component's station. The second camera repeats the above process.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] The flipping suction cups adsorb glass from the production station. A first power component drives the flipping component to rotate, rotating the glass and placing it on the conveyor roller. The height of the flipping suction cups is lower than the minimum height of some of the conveyor suction cups, allowing the conveyor roller to move the glass. Multiple conveyor suction cups are installed on the conveyor roller, with their height gradually decreasing along the direction of rotation. This provides both adsorption and normal movement of the glass on the conveyor roller. The conveyor roller moves the glass to the first grinding station, where at least one grinding assembly grinds both sides of the glass along its length or width. The fixing frame 31 is connected to the grinding components, allowing... The grinding mechanism prevents glass from shifting due to excessive rotation speed during grinding. The conveyor rollers continue moving the glass to the first quality inspection station. A rotating assembly then moves the glass upwards to its highest position, where a camera takes its first picture. The rotating assembly then moves the glass downwards to its lowest position, causing it to rotate. The rotating suction cup stops holding the glass, and the conveyor rollers continue moving it along the conveyor direction to the second grinding station. Grinding is then performed on both sides of the glass along its width or length. The conveyor rollers continue moving the glass to the second quality inspection station, where the camera takes a second picture. This system connects the production station with the grinding and quality inspection stations, eliminating the need for manual handling and thus improving glass production efficiency while significantly reducing manpower.

[0040] Please read carefully. Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a glass production line device, including: a conveying assembly 1, a flipping assembly 2, a polishing assembly 3, and a quality inspection assembly 4. Specifically, the conveying assembly 1 includes a support 11, multiple conveying rollers 12, and conveying suction cups 13. Each conveying roller 12 is rotatably mounted on the support 11. Multiple conveying suction cups 13 are provided, each fixedly mounted on the conveying roller 12, and their height gradually decreases along the rotation direction of the conveying roller 12. The multiple conveying suction cups 13 provide a certain degree of adsorption for the glass without affecting the normal movement of the glass on the conveying roller 12. The flipping assembly 2 includes a first power component 21, a flipping component 22, and multiple flipping suction cups 23. The first power component 21 can be one or two and is fixedly mounted on the support 11. The output shaft of the power component 21 is fixed to the flipping component 22. Each flipping suction cup 23 is spaced apart on the flipping component 22. The flipping suction cup 23 adsorbs the glass on the production station. The first power component 21 drives the flipping component 22 to rotate, rotating the glass and placing it on the conveyor roller 12. The height of the flipping suction cup 23 is lower than the lowest height of some of the conveyor suction cups 13. The flipping component 22 rotates to the same height as the conveyor roller 12, and its height in the vertical direction is lower than the height of some of the conveyor suction cups 13. The flipping suction cup 23 stops adsorbing the glass, and the conveyor suction cup 13 takes over the adsorption effect of the flipping suction cup 23 on the glass, so that the conveyor roller 12 can drive the glass to move horizontally.

[0041] The polishing assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 31 and polishing parts 32 rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 31. At least two polishing parts 32 are arranged along the length direction and two along the width direction, spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 1. The conveying roller 12 moves the glass to the first polishing station. At least one set of polishing assemblies 3 polishes both sides of the glass along its length or both sides along its width. The fixed frame 31 can be L-shaped and fixedly mounted on the support 11. The upper side of the rotating roller 321 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 31, and the lower side of the rotating roller 321 is connected to the support 11 via a fixed base. The polishing parts 32 are rotatably spaced apart from the support 11, meaning the polishing parts 32 cause zero wear on the support 11. The fixed frame 31 ensures that the polishing parts 32 will not deviate due to excessive rotation speed when polishing the glass. The conveying roller 12 drives the glass to continue moving along the conveying direction until it reaches the first quality inspection station. The quality inspection component 4, including a light source 41 and a camera 42, is configured in at least two sets and positioned downstream of the grinding component 3 along the transmission direction of the conveying component 1. The rotating component 5 moves the glass upwards to its highest position, which is at the same height as the quality inspection component 4. The camera 42 takes its first picture of the glass. The rotating component 5 then moves the glass downwards to its lowest position, which is at least lower than the highest position of a portion of the conveying suction cup 13, ensuring no interference with the glass's movement along the conveying direction. The rotating component 5 rotates the glass, and the rotating suction cup 53 stops adhering to the glass. The conveying roller 12 then moves the glass to the second grinding station, where it is ground on both sides along its width or length. The conveying roller 12 then moves the glass to the second quality inspection station, where the camera 42 takes a second picture of the glass. This system connects the production station with the grinding and quality inspection stations, eliminating the need for secondary manual handling, thus improving glass production efficiency and reducing manpower.

[0042] It is conceivable that the conveying suction cup 13 includes a connecting part 131 and an adsorption surface 132. The adsorption surface 132 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 131, and the connecting part 131 is fixedly connected to the conveying roller 12. One side along the rotation direction of the conveying roller 12 is set to a lower height, and the back side along the rotation direction of the conveying roller 12 is set to a higher height. Alternatively, the conveying suction cup 13 includes an adsorption surface 132, and is configured such that the inclination height of the adsorption surface 132 gradually decreases along the rotation direction of the conveying roller 12. When the glass is in complete contact with at least part of the adsorption surface 132, the adsorption force of the adsorption surface 132 on the glass prevents the glass from shaking excessively. When the glass needs to move horizontally, the lower-height adsorption surface 132 first detaches from the glass surface, and air enters the connecting part 131, which breaks the vacuum state in the connecting part 131. The internal pressure gradually rises to balance with the external atmospheric pressure, and the adsorption surface 132 stops on the glass surface, thereby achieving a certain adsorption effect on the glass. This adsorption effect does not affect the normal movement of the glass along the conveying direction.

[0043] It is conceivable that the polishing assembly 3 also includes a moving shaft 33 and a first drive component 34 connected to the moving shaft 33 at its output end. The moving shaft 33 is connected to the fixed frame 31 and moves horizontally. At least two polishing assemblies 3 are set as a group, specifically two polishing assemblies 3 along the width direction. When a group of polishing assemblies 3 moves relative to each other along the width direction, it can clamp the glass. This device needs to polish the glass during its movement. The polishing component 32 rotates at a very high speed during polishing, and the suction force of the conveyor suction cup 13 alone is obviously insufficient. Therefore, an additional clamping effect is needed when polishing the glass. In addition, a pressure sensor can be set at one end of the moving shaft 33 to prevent pressure... Excessive size can damage the glass. The grinding component 32 includes a rotating roller 321, multiple grinding blocks 322, and a grinding area 323. The rotating roller 321 is fixedly connected to the grinding blocks 322. A second power component 35 is installed in the fixed frame 31. The output end of the second power component 35 is connected to the rotating roller 321. The second power component 35 provides power to the grinding component 32, enabling the grinding component 32 to grind the edge of the glass. The grinding blocks 322 are spaced apart with a suitable distance, so that glass with right-angled edges can safely pass through the grinding area 323. The shape of the grinding area 323 can be set to match the target shape of the edge of the glass to be ground, so that the glass edge can be ground according to the target shape of the glass edge.

[0044] It is conceivable that the rotating assembly 5 includes a second driving member 51, a rotating member 52, and a rotating suction cup 53. The second driving member 51 is connected to the rotating member 52, and the rotating member 52 is fixedly connected to the rotating suction cup 53. The rotating suction cup 53 adsorbs the glass surface. The second driving member 51 provides power to the rotating member 52. The rotating member 52 is configured to rotate around its own axis, so that the rotating member 52 can drive the glass to rotate, thus cooperating with the polishing assembly 3. For example, the first set of polishing assemblies 3 polishes both sides of the glass along the length direction, and the rotating member 52 drives the glass to rotate at least 90 degrees. The second set of polishing assemblies 3 polishes both sides of the glass along the width direction. Furthermore, the rotating component 52 can move vertically up and down to cooperate with the quality inspection component 4, thereby achieving precise positioning of glass products during the quality inspection process. The quality inspection component 4 has a light source 41 and a camera 42. At least one light source 41 and one camera 42 form a group and are respectively fixedly installed on two vertical plates 6. The vertical plates 6 are located on both sides of the bracket 11. The rotating component 52 moves vertically upward to the highest position. The height of the light source 41 and the camera 42 is equal to the highest position of the rotating component 52, ensuring that the quality inspection component 4 can accurately capture the glass area to be inspected and improve the accuracy of the inspection.

[0045] Grinding components 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating assembly 5 along the length direction, and light source 41 and camera 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating assembly 5 along the width direction. After the first set of grinding components 32 grinds both sides of the glass along the length direction or both sides along the width direction, the conveyor roller 12 continues to move the glass to the rotating suction cup 53. The rotating assembly 5 drives the rotating suction cup 53 to move vertically upward to the highest position, and the camera 42 takes the first picture of the glass. The rotating assembly 5 first moves vertically downward to the lowest position, and then drives the glass to rotate. The conveyor roller 12 moves the glass to the next grinding station. The second set of grinding components 32 grinds both sides of the glass along the width direction or both sides along the length direction. The conveyor roller 12 continues to move the glass to the next quality inspection station, and the camera 42 takes the second picture of the glass. The two pictures can complete the quality inspection of the glass around its perimeter, thus connecting the glass grinding and quality inspection processes on a single conveyor assembly 1.

[0046] It is conceivable that the first power component 21, the first drive component 34, and the second drive component 51 can be motors or other drive configurations. The first drive component 34 is installed inside the vertical plate 6, and its output end is connected to the moving shaft 33. The vertical plate 6 can be set up independently. If the width of the glass production workshop is suitable, the vertical plate 6 can also be made using the two side walls. Each conveyor roller 12 is equipped with multiple conveyor suction cups 13. A water source can be set on the vertical plate 6 and the water source can be directed to either side of the grinding part 32. A small amount of water source can absorb at least some of the heat generated during grinding, and the water source only contacts the edge of the glass. The conveyor assembly 1 can be set as a detachable assembly and can be equipped with casters, so that it can be used to connect different workstations and move more conveniently.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a glass production line connection method, including the following steps:

[0048] S1, the flipping suction cup 23 adsorbs the glass on the production station, the first power component 21 drives the flipping component 22 to rotate, and rotates the glass to the conveyor roller 12;

[0049] S2, the conveyor roller 12 drives the glass to move horizontally to the grinding station, the grinding part 32 grinds along the length or width of the glass, the conveyor roller 12 continues to drive the glass to the quality inspection station, at this time, the rotating suction cup 53 adsorbs the glass, the rotating component 5 drives the glass to move vertically upward to the highest position, and the camera 42 takes the first picture of the glass.

[0050] S3, the rotating component 5 drives the glass to rotate at least 90°, the rotating component 5 drives the glass to move vertically downward to the lowest position, the rotating suction cup 53 stops adsorbing the glass, the conveying roller 12 drives the glass to the next polishing station again, the polishing part 32 polishes along the width or length of the glass, the glass continues to move to the next quality inspection station, and the camera 42 takes a second picture of the glass.

[0051] S4, the conveyor roller 12 drives the glass to move onto the flipper 22. The flipper 22 can rotate the glass to the next station for further processing, or rotate the glass to the corresponding placement position after processing is completed.

[0052] When the grinding part 32 grinds the edge of the glass, the conveying roller 12 drives the glass to continue moving in the horizontal direction, and the conveying suction cup 13 adsorbs the surface of the glass.

[0053] In either step S2 or S3, the two cameras 42 take two photos of the glass. If no scratches or bubbles are detected in either photo, the glass proceeds to the next station or is completed. If scratches or bubbles are detected in either photo, the glass proceeds to the recycling station.

[0054] In either step S2 or S3, the first camera 42 takes three pictures of the glass: the first picture is taken as soon as the glass enters the station of the quality inspection component 4; the second picture is taken as the glass is fully inside the station of the quality inspection component 4; and the third picture is taken as the glass leaves the station of the quality inspection component 4. The second camera 42 repeats the above process.

[0055] It is conceivable that after each photo is taken, the camera 42 will send the data back to the backend data center. By calculating the time difference between the first and third photos, and based on the speed at which the glass is moved by the conveyor roller 12, the physical formula is used: the product of speed and time equals the distance, i.e., the length or width of the glass. Thus, it can be determined whether the length and width of the glass are within the allowable error range.

[0056] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
