Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass production material handling and transportation technology, specifically to a material handling and transfer device and method for an ultra-thin glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-thin float glass is a type of ultra-thin glass produced using the float process, with a thickness ranging from 0.1 to 1.3 millimeters. It features high light transmittance, a smooth surface, high hardness, and good chemical stability. The production process involves floating and flattening molten glass on the surface of a tin bath, then adjusting the forming thickness using an edge-drawing machine to ultimately form a uniform glass ribbon. Based on their chemical composition, ultra-thin glass can be divided into alkali-containing ultra-thin glass and alkali-free ultra-thin glass. Alkali-containing ultra-thin glass refers to ultra-thin glass containing alkali metal oxides in its chemical composition, namely soda-lime-silica glass or aluminosilicate glass. Alkali-free ultra-thin glass usually refers to hard borosilicate glass, which contains B2O3 and has characteristics such as high light transmittance and good photoelectric properties. Currently, when ultra-thin glass is unloaded at the end of the glass production line, it is mostly done by using a robotic arm and suction cups for adsorption and unloading. Specifically, the robotic arm uses suction cups to adsorb the glass and unload it onto a glass support frame on the ground, and then a forklift or other transfer vehicle is used to remove and transfer the glass support frame. This method has the following problems: 1. When using a robotic arm and suction cup for material handling, the limited stroke of the robotic arm means it can only handle smaller sizes of glass. For larger sizes, the edges of the glass are prone to colliding with the auxiliary support of the robotic arm, which can damage the glass and increase production losses. 2. After the robotic arm uses a suction cup to pick up the glass, it is unloaded onto the glass support frame on the ground. Then, the glass support frame is picked up and transported by a forklift or other transfer vehicle. During this process, the glass support frame is prone to vibration, which can cause the glass in the glass support frame to vibrate and break, resulting in product loss. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material feeding and transfer device and method for an ultra-thin glass production line. This material feeding and transfer device and method is applicable to the adsorption feeding of large-size glass, avoiding collisions during the feeding process and effectively ensuring the safety of the glass feeding process.

[0021] The working steps of the material feeding and transfer device for the ultra-thin glass production line of the present invention are as follows: S1. First, the operator can control the lifting mechanism 7 to work. The electric cylinder of the lifting mechanism 7 drives the electric lifting rod on it to move down, and the electric lifting rod drives the working suction cup assembly 3 to move down. S2. When the suction cup body 31 in the working suction cup assembly 3 comes into contact with the glass on the conveyor belt at the end (feeding end) of the glass production line, the glass is adsorbed. S3. At this time, after the control system confirms that the glass adsorption is stable, the lifting mechanism 7 is started. The electric cylinder of the lifting mechanism 7 drives the electric lifting rod on it to retract. The electric lifting rod drives the working suction cup assembly 3 to lift and move upward. At this time, the working suction cup assembly 3 adsorbs the glass and lifts it. S4. At this time, the transverse positioning cylinder 8 installed on the support frame assembly 1 is started. The transverse positioning cylinder 8 pushes the movable support part 2 to achieve transverse displacement adjustment on the transverse slide rail. At the same time, the longitudinal positioning cylinder 9 located on the transverse support 21 is operated. The longitudinal positioning cylinder 9 can push the movable support 24 to achieve longitudinal displacement adjustment. S5. At the same time, the position detector on the working suction cup assembly 3 detects the position of the transfer mechanism 5 and the limit bracket assembly 6. When the position is detected, the lifting mechanism 7 can be controlled to work. The electric cylinder of the lifting mechanism 7 drives the electric lifting rod on it to move down. The electric lifting rod drives the working suction cup assembly 3 and the glass adsorbed on it to move down. S6. When the glass comes into contact with the support platform 62 in the limiting bracket assembly 6, the suction cup body 31 in the working suction cup assembly 3 can be controlled to stop working, and the glass is piled up on the support platform 62. Then, the above suction and feeding actions can be repeated in sequence to complete the glass stacking operation. S7. When the material stacking operation is completed, the first drive cylinder 63 and the second drive cylinder 64 in the controllable limit bracket assembly 6 are started. The first drive cylinder 63 drives the left limit stop 65 to move and adjust through the telescopic rod; the second drive cylinder 64 drives the right limit stop 66 to move and adjust through the telescopic rod. The left limit stop 65 and the right limit stop 66 work together to limit the contact of the glass. S8. Finally, the drive motor 55 in the controllable transfer mechanism 5 is turned on. The drive motor 55 drives the meshing gear 56 to rotate through the motor shaft. Since the meshing gear 56 meshes with the meshing rack 57, the entire transfer mechanism 5 moves smoothly on the ground rail 4 under the action of the meshing force, thereby realizing the conveying and transfer of the glass stack.

The electric lifting rod drives the working suction cup assembly (3) and the glass adsorbed on it to move down. S6. When the glass comes into contact with the bearing platform (62) in the limiting bracket assembly (6), the suction cup body (31) in the working suction cup assembly (3) can be controlled to stop working, and the glass is piled up on the bearing platform (62). Then, the above suction and feeding actions can be repeated in sequence to complete the glass stacking operation. S7. When the stacking operation is completed, the first drive cylinder (63) and the second drive cylinder (64) in the controllable limit bracket assembly (6) are started. The first drive cylinder (63) drives the left limit bracket (65) to move and adjust through the telescopic rod; the second drive cylinder (64) drives the right limit bracket (66) to move and adjust through the telescopic rod. The left limit bracket (65) and the right limit bracket (66) work together to limit the contact of the glass. S8. Finally, the drive motor (55) in the controllable transfer mechanism (5) is turned on. The drive motor (55) drives the meshing gear (56) to rotate through the motor shaft. Since the meshing gear (56) meshes with the meshing rack (57), the entire transfer mechanism (5) moves smoothly on the ground rail (4) under the action of the meshing force, thereby realizing the transfer of glass stack.
