Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible glass testing equipment technology, and specifically to a flexible glass basket replacement device. Background Technology

[0002] For current flexible glass inspection, see prior patent publication number CN 223133468 U, patent titled "A Glass Insertion Basket Replacement Device". This patent specifically discloses an inspection mechanism (50) including a photographic inspection component (501) and a shape rotation component (502). The shape rotation component (502) is used to rotate the shape of the glass insert so that the photographic inspection component (501) can inspect the glass insert. In this patent, each product needs to pass through the photographic inspection component (visual inspection component). This technical solution pursues the automation of inspection, but its implicit technical problem is that under high-speed production, the rigid automated inspection unit has poor coordination with the preceding and following processes, and is prone to material congestion due to instantaneous speed mismatch, thereby destroying the smoothness and reliability of the entire production line.

[0003] Specifically, this is reflected in:

[0004] 1. Poor system smoothness: The visual inspection speed is fixed. If the material feeding is slightly slow or products arrive continuously, they are easy to accumulate at the workstation, forming a bottleneck.

[0005] 2. Low overall efficiency: Congestion can cause the entire line to stop or slow down, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0006] 3. Poor adaptability and flexibility: The equipment is rigid and cannot handle slight positional deviations, new product models, or complex defect types, requiring downtime to adjust the program.

[0007] 4. High equipment and maintenance costs: The equipment costs are high, and the maintenance costs are also high (lens cleaning, light source calibration, software upgrades).

[0008] 5. Low reliability: Affected by light, dust, and software stability. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible glass basket replacement device to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A flexible glass basket replacement device includes a cleaning basket loading mechanism, a reinforcing basket loading mechanism, and two sheet removal and detection units. The cleaning basket loading mechanism delivers full cleaning baskets to the loading stations of the corresponding sheet removal and detection units, and the reinforcing basket loading mechanism delivers empty reinforcing baskets to the unloading stations of the corresponding sheet removal and detection units.

[0012] The wafer picking and inspection unit includes a cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module and a second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module are respectively provided on both sides of the cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A wafer feeding module is provided on one side of the unloading end of the first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module, and a wafer return module is provided on one side of the receiving end of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module. The unloading end of the wafer feeding module and the loading end of the wafer return module extend to the manual inspection station. The suction cup platform on the wafer feeding module moves the product to the manual inspection station, and the inspected product is placed on the suction cup platform on the wafer return module.

[0013] Both the first cleaning basket Y-direction tablet picking module and the second cleaning basket Y-direction tablet picking module are equipped with tablet picking mechanisms. The tablet picking mechanism includes a tablet picking lifting module, which is equipped with a motor. The output end of the motor is connected to a rotating arm, and a suction plate is vertically provided on the rotating arm.

[0014] The cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module is provided with a cleaning basket support seat. The suction plate corresponding to the first cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module is used to adsorb the product in the cleaning basket on the cleaning basket support seat and place the product on the suction cup stage on the sheet feeding module.

[0015] The second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module has a reinforcing basket support on one side. The suction plate corresponding to the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module is used to pick up the products on the suction cup platform of the wafer return module and put the products into the reinforcing basket on the reinforcing basket support.

[0016] In this technical solution, the wafer picking and inspection unit includes a cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module and a second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A wafer feeding module is located on one side of the unloading end of the first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module, and a wafer return module is located on one side of the receiving end of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module. The unloading end of the wafer feeding module and the loading end of the wafer return module extend to the manual inspection station. The suction cup platform on the wafer feeding module moves the product to the manual inspection station, and the inspected product is placed... On the suction cup platform of the return module, specifically, the Y-axis transfer module of the cleaning basket is mainly used to move the full cleaning basket to a position convenient for the first cleaning basket Y-axis pick-up module to pick up the material. The first cleaning basket Y-axis pick-up module, the feeding module, the manual inspection station, the return module, and the second cleaning basket Y-axis pick-up module form a product inspection path, facilitating the transfer of products from the cleaning basket to the manual inspection station for manual inspection, and then from the manual inspection station to the insertion station, so that products that meet the standards after inspection can be inserted into the corresponding reinforced basket. In this technical solution, the feeding module and the return module are connected to the manual inspection station. At the manual inspection station, the product unloading speed and loading speed can be freely controlled. The operator can dynamically adjust the inspection rhythm, and the unloading speed is controllable, ensuring that the product is inspected and moved immediately. This achieves a smooth operation of the inspection station on the production line, breaks through the system bottleneck, and significantly improves the overall production efficiency and reliability. Because the manual inspection speed is controllable and the smoothness is better, the entire line is uninterrupted, the actual throughput is higher, and the overall production cycle is optimized, resulting in improved overall efficiency. Furthermore, human judgment and adaptability allow for easy handling of various non-standard situations, giving the inspection station a high degree of adaptability. This enables rapid response to production changes such as product model changes, reducing equipment setup and downtime, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety manufacturing. It also saves on expensive vision system hardware and software costs. While ensuring or even improving inspection quality, it significantly reduces the initial investment and long-term maintenance costs of the system. Unaffected by environmental factors, it offers higher reliability and reduces the risk of line-wide failures due to equipment instability.

[0017] The cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is equipped with a sheet-retrieving mechanism, which includes a sheet-retrieving lifting module. The lifting module has a motor, and its output is connected to a rotating arm. A suction plate is vertically mounted on the rotating arm. The cleaning basket Y-axis transfer module has a cleaning basket support. The suction plate corresponding to the first cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is used to absorb the products in the cleaning basket on the support and place them on the suction cup platform of the sheet-feeding module. The second cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module has a reinforcing basket support on one side. The suction plate corresponding to the second cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is used to absorb the products on the suction cup platform of the return sheet module and place them into the reinforcing basket on the reinforcing basket support. The sheet-retrieving lifting module drives the suction plate downwards, allowing products to be retrieved from the cleaning basket and placed into the reinforcing basket. The motor drives the rotating arm to rotate, allowing the suction plate to rotate to a horizontal position. This allows vertically positioned products to be rotated to a horizontal position, facilitating the horizontal placement of products on or from the corresponding suction cup platform.

[0018] In summary, this technical solution solves the problem that, under high-speed production cycles, existing flexible glass products suffer from poor coordination between rigid automated inspection units and upstream and downstream processes, which can easily lead to material congestion due to instantaneous speed mismatch, thereby disrupting the smoothness and reliability of the entire production line.

[0019] Furthermore, including a crossbeam, two sample picking and detection units are arranged side by side below the crossbeam, the cleaning basket loading mechanism includes a cleaning basket X-axis module arranged on the crossbeam, and the reinforcing basket loading mechanism includes a reinforcing basket X-axis module arranged on the crossbeam;

[0020] To efficiently transfer the cleaning basket when it is full and empty, the X-axis module of the cleaning basket is provided with a full-frame loading station, an empty-frame unloading station, a first full-frame unloading station, and a second full-frame unloading station in sequence. The X-axis module of the cleaning basket is provided with a cleaning basket lifting module, which is equipped with a cleaning basket rotating mechanism. The cleaning basket rotating mechanism is equipped with cleaning basket grippers. The cleaning basket grippers located at the first full-frame unloading station and the second full-frame unloading station place the full cleaning basket onto the corresponding cleaning basket support.

[0021] To efficiently transfer the reinforced basket to full and empty frames, the reinforced basket X-axis module is sequentially equipped with an empty frame loading station, a full frame unloading station, a first empty frame unloading station, and a second empty frame unloading station. The reinforced basket X-axis module is equipped with a reinforced basket lifting module, which in turn is equipped with a reinforced basket rotating mechanism. The reinforced basket rotating mechanism is equipped with reinforced basket grippers. The reinforced basket grippers located at the first and second empty frame unloading stations place the empty reinforced basket frames onto the corresponding reinforced basket support seats.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to continuously transport full cleaning baskets to the area below the full-basket unloading station and improve the unloading efficiency of full cleaning baskets, a full-basket Y-axis conveyor line is provided below the full-basket unloading station. The full-basket Y-axis conveyor line is used to transport several full cleaning baskets. In order to avoid collision between the transport of full and empty cleaning baskets, an empty-basket lifting module is provided below the empty-basket unloading station. The empty-basket lifting module is equipped with an empty-basket roller conveyor unit, which is connected to the empty-basket X-axis roller conveyor line, which is located below the full-basket Y-axis conveyor line.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to continuously transport the reinforced basket empty frames to below the empty frame picking station, an empty frame Y-axis conveyor line is provided below the empty frame picking station. The empty frame Y-axis conveyor line is used to transport several reinforced basket empty frames. In order to avoid the transport of full reinforced baskets and empty frames, a full frame lifting module is provided below the full frame unloading station. The full frame lifting module is equipped with a full frame roller conveyor unit, which is connected to the full frame X-axis roller conveyor line. The full frame X-axis roller conveyor line is located below the empty frame Y-axis conveyor line.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to accurately place the product into the reinforcing basket, a visual alignment component is provided below the crossbeam, directly opposite the reinforcing basket support.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to detect the placement position of the reinforcing basket so as to accurately place the product, a horizontal backlight that can extend horizontally into the reinforcing basket is provided on one side of the reinforcing basket support, and a reinforcing basket visual inspection component is provided above the reinforcing basket support.

[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate material handling by staff at the manual inspection station, the feeding module and the return module are arranged in a V-shape at an angle.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to provide a visual alignment component with good detection performance, the visual alignment component includes a visual alignment camera and a ring light source, wherein the visual alignment camera acquires images of the products on the corresponding suction plate.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the cleaning basket and the reinforcing basket, both the cleaning basket support and the reinforcing basket support are equipped with basket positioning mechanisms.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to detect the rotation angle of the suction plate, the motor is mounted on the plate-picking lifting module via a rotating mounting plate, the rotating arm is equipped with a sensing plate, and the rotating mounting plate is circumferentially equipped with multiple sensors.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this technical solution, the wafer picking and inspection unit includes a cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module and a second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module are respectively provided on both sides of the cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module. A wafer feeding module is provided on one side of the unloading end of the first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module, and a wafer return module is provided on one side of the receiving end of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module. The unloading end of the wafer feeding module and the loading end of the wafer return module extend to the manual inspection station. The suction cup platform on the wafer feeding module moves the product to the manual inspection station for inspection. The finished products are placed on the suction cup platform of the return module. Specifically, the Y-axis transfer module of the cleaning basket is mainly used to move the full cleaning basket to a position that is convenient for the Y-axis pick-up module of the first cleaning basket to pick up the products. The Y-axis pick-up module of the first cleaning basket, the feeding module, the manual inspection station, the return module, and the Y-axis pick-up module of the second cleaning basket form a product inspection path, which facilitates the transfer of products from the cleaning basket to the manual inspection station for manual inspection. From the manual inspection station, the products are then transferred to the insertion station so that the inspected and qualified products can be inserted into the corresponding reinforcing baskets. In this technical solution, the feeding module and the return module are connected to the manual inspection station. At the manual inspection station, the product feeding speed and the product unloading speed can be freely controlled. The operator can dynamically adjust the inspection rhythm, and the unloading speed is controllable to ensure that the products are inspected and moved immediately. This achieves a smooth operation of the inspection station on the production line, breaks the system bottleneck, and significantly improves the overall production efficiency and reliability. Because the manual inspection speed is controllable and the smoothness is better, the entire line is uninterrupted, the actual throughput is higher, and the overall production cycle is optimized, resulting in improved overall efficiency. Furthermore, human judgment and adaptability allow for easy handling of various non-standard situations, giving the inspection station a high degree of adaptability. This enables rapid response to production changes such as product model changes, reducing equipment setup and downtime, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety manufacturing. It also saves on expensive vision system hardware and software costs. While ensuring or even improving inspection quality, it significantly reduces the initial investment and long-term maintenance costs of the system. Unaffected by environmental factors, it offers higher reliability and reduces the risk of line-wide failures due to equipment instability.

[0031] The cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is equipped with a sheet-retrieving mechanism, which includes a sheet-retrieving lifting module. The lifting module has a motor, and its output is connected to a rotating arm. A suction plate is vertically mounted on the rotating arm. The cleaning basket Y-axis transfer module has a cleaning basket support. The suction plate corresponding to the first cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is used to absorb the products in the cleaning basket on the support and place them on the suction cup platform of the sheet-feeding module. The second cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module has a reinforcing basket support on one side. The suction plate corresponding to the second cleaning basket Y-axis sheet-retrieving module is used to absorb the products on the suction cup platform of the return sheet module and place them into the reinforcing basket on the reinforcing basket support. The sheet-retrieving lifting module drives the suction plate downwards, allowing products to be retrieved from the cleaning basket and placed into the reinforcing basket. The motor drives the rotating arm to rotate, allowing the suction plate to rotate to a horizontal position. This allows vertically positioned products to be rotated to a horizontal position, facilitating the horizontal placement of products on or from the corresponding suction cup platform.

[0032] In summary, this technical solution solves the problem that, under high-speed production cycles, existing flexible glass products suffer from poor coordination between rigid automated inspection units and upstream and downstream processes, which can easily lead to material congestion due to instantaneous speed mismatch, thereby disrupting the smoothness and reliability of the entire production line.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible glass basket replacement device, including a cleaning basket loading mechanism, a reinforcing basket loading mechanism, and two sheet removal and detection units. The cleaning basket loading mechanism delivers the full cleaning basket 1 to the loading station of the corresponding sheet removal and detection unit, and the reinforcing basket loading mechanism delivers the empty reinforcing basket 2 to the unloading station of the corresponding sheet removal and detection unit.

[0043] The wafer picking and inspection unit includes a cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3. A first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 4 and a second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3. A wafer feeding module 6 is provided on one side of the unloading end of the first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 4, and a wafer return module 7 is provided on one side of the receiving end of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5. The unloading end of the wafer feeding module 6 and the loading end of the wafer return module 7 extend to the manual inspection station 8. The suction cup platform 9 on the wafer feeding module 6 moves the product to the manual inspection station 8, and the inspected product is placed on the suction cup platform 9 on the wafer return module 7.

[0044] Both the first cleaning basket Y-direction tablet picking module 4 and the second cleaning basket Y-direction tablet picking module 5 are equipped with tablet picking mechanisms 10. The tablet picking mechanism 10 includes a tablet picking lifting module 11, a motor 12 is provided on the tablet picking lifting module 11, the output end of the motor 12 is connected to a rotating arm 13, and a suction plate 14 is vertically provided on the rotating arm 13.

[0045] The cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3 is provided with a cleaning basket support 18. The suction plate 14 corresponding to the first cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module 4 is used to adsorb the product in the cleaning basket on the cleaning basket support 18 and place the product on the suction cup stage 9 on the sheet feeding module 6.

[0046] A reinforcing basket support 19 is provided on one side of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5. The suction plate 14 corresponding to the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5 is used to pick up the products on the suction cup stage 9 on the wafer return module 7 and put the products into the reinforcing basket 17 on the reinforcing basket support 19.

[0047] In this technical solution, the full cleaning basket 1 is sent to the corresponding loading station of the sheet picking and detection unit by the cleaning basket loading mechanism, and the empty reinforcing basket 2 is sent to the corresponding unloading station of the sheet picking and detection unit by the reinforcing basket loading mechanism, so as to realize the automatic loading of the full cleaning basket 1 and the empty reinforcing basket 2.

[0048] Since the wafer picking and inspection unit includes a cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3, a first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 4 and a second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3. A wafer feeding module 6 is provided on one side of the unloading end of the first cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 4, and a wafer return module 7 is provided on one side of the receiving end of the second cleaning basket Y-direction wafer picking module 5. The unloading end of the wafer feeding module 6 and the loading end of the wafer return module 7 extend to the manual inspection station 8. The suction cup stage 9 on the wafer feeding module 6 moves the product to the manual inspection station 8. After inspection, the manual person places the product on the return module 8. On the suction cup platform 9 of the wafer module 7, specifically, the Y-axis transfer module 3 of the cleaning basket is mainly used to move the full frame 1 of the cleaning basket to a position that facilitates the wafer picking module 4 of the first cleaning basket. The first Y-axis wafer picking module 4, the wafer feeding module 6, the manual inspection station 8, the wafer return module 7, and the second Y-axis wafer picking module 5 of the cleaning basket form a product inspection path, facilitating the transfer of products from the cleaning basket to the manual inspection station 8 for manual inspection, and then from the manual inspection station 8 to the insertion station, so that products that meet the standards after inspection can be inserted into the corresponding reinforcing basket 17. In this technical solution, the wafer feeding module 6 and the wafer return module 7 are connected to the manual inspection station 8. At the manual inspection station 8, the product unloading speed and loading speed can be freely controlled. The operator can dynamically adjust the inspection rhythm, and the unloading speed is controllable, ensuring that the product is inspected and moved immediately. This achieves a smooth operation of the inspection station on the production line, breaks through the system bottleneck, and significantly improves the overall production efficiency and reliability. Because manual inspection offers controllable speed and smoother operation, the entire production line operates without interruptions, resulting in higher actual throughput and optimized overall production cycle time, thus improving overall efficiency. Furthermore, human operators possess strong judgment and adaptability, easily handling various non-standard situations. This endows the inspection station with high adaptability, enabling rapid response to production changes such as product model changes, reducing equipment setup and downtime, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety manufacturing. It also saves on expensive vision system hardware and software costs. While maintaining or even improving inspection quality, it significantly reduces the initial investment and long-term maintenance costs of the system. Unaffected by environmental factors, it offers higher reliability, reducing the risk of line-wide failures due to equipment instability.

[0049] The cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module is equipped with a sheet picking mechanism 10, which includes a sheet picking lifting module 11. The sheet picking lifting module 11 is equipped with a motor 12, and the output end of the motor 12 is connected to a rotating arm 13. A suction plate 14 is vertically mounted on the rotating arm 13. The cleaning basket Y-direction transfer module 3 is equipped with a cleaning basket support 18. The suction plate 14 corresponding to the first cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module 4 is used to adsorb the products in the cleaning basket on the cleaning basket support 18 and place the products on the suction cup platform 9 on the sheet feeding module 6. The second cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module 5 is equipped with a reinforcing basket support 19 on one side. The suction plate 14 corresponding to the second cleaning basket Y-direction sheet picking module 5 is used to adsorb the products on the suction cup platform 9 on the sheet return module 7 and place the products into the reinforcing basket on the reinforcing basket support 19. The lifting module 11 drives the suction plate 14 to descend, so that the product can be taken out from the cleaning basket and placed into the reinforcing basket. The rotating arm 13 is driven by the motor 12 to rotate the suction plate 14, so that the suction plate 14 can be rotated to a horizontal state. This allows the vertical product to be rotated to a horizontal state, making it convenient to place the product horizontally on the corresponding suction cup platform 9 or to pick up the product from the corresponding suction cup platform 9.

[0050] In summary, this technical solution solves the problem that, under high-speed production cycles, existing flexible glass products suffer from poor coordination between rigid automated inspection units and upstream and downstream processes, which can easily lead to material congestion due to instantaneous speed mismatch, thereby disrupting the smoothness and reliability of the entire production line.
