Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy-saving glass or laminated glass production technology, specifically relating to a shaping equipment for energy-saving laminated glass production. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the production of energy-saving laminated glass generally adopts a composite process route of "laminated first, then insulated". This process first precisely aligns the glass containing Low-E low-emissivity coating with the interlayer (such as PVB or SGP) at the lamination station, and completes the preliminary bonding through pre-pressing equipment (such as a roller press) to form a structurally stable "laminated semi-finished product". Subsequently, the semi-finished product is transferred to the vertical insulated lamination line and assembled with another single-layer glass (usually also with energy-saving characteristics, such as another Low-E glass). Through automatic butyl sealant application, placement of aluminum spacers, lamination and pressing, etc., a complete "insulated unit" is formed. Finally, the insulated unit needs to be sent into an autoclave as a whole to complete the final curing and bonding of the lamination and the reliable sealing of the hollow cavity under high temperature and high pressure, thereby achieving synergistic optimization of multiple performances such as heat insulation, sound insulation and safety.
[0003] However, the existing "laminated glass first, then insulated glass" process still faces significant production bottlenecks. Traditional laminated glass pre-pressing processes often utilize horizontal production lines, while the assembly of insulated glass units relies on vertical lamination equipment, and final shaping must be completed in a vertical autoclave. This results in a clear mismatch between equipment layout and process direction across the various stages. Frequent flipping, transfer, and re-clamping of semi-finished products during production not only increases operational complexity and reduces overall production efficiency but also significantly increases the risk of glass scratches, edge breakage, and coating damage due to repeated handling and orientation changes, hindering product quality stability and the improvement of large-scale manufacturing capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving laminar glass production shaping equipment, which realizes the continuous process from pre-pressing of semi-finished laminated products, assembly of hollow units, to shaping in an autoclave, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is a shaping equipment for the production of energy-saving laminated glass, including a base and a support platform, wherein the support platform is rotatably mounted on the base; by rotating the support platform relative to the base, the work surface of the support platform can be switched and arbitrarily stopped in a horizontal state, a vertical state, or an arbitrarily tilted state in the middle, which facilitates the flipping of glass workpieces during the production of energy-saving laminated glass.
[0006] Preferably, the production process of the energy-saving laminated glass is divided into laminated unit preparation and hollow unit preparation; when used for the preparation of the laminated unit, the support platform is in a horizontal state, and when used for the preparation of the hollow unit, the support platform is in a vertical state.
[0007] Preferably, the support platform has a rotating shaft for rotatably connecting with the base, and the rotating shaft and the base are detachably connected. The base has an open rotating groove, and a stop block is provided on the opening side of the rotating groove. The rotating groove is used to accommodate and connect the rotating shaft of the support platform, realizing the assembly of the base and the rotating shaft. Under the action of the stop block, the rotating shaft can be inserted into or removed along the opening of the rotating groove, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the base and the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft and the base are in a rotatably connected state, the stop block restricts the rotating shaft from detaching radially, playing an axial limiting and anti-detachment role. When it is necessary to disconnect the rotating shaft and the base, the rotating shaft can be slid out along the opening direction of the rotating groove. At this time, the stop block releases the limiting of the rotating shaft, realizing quick disassembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the stop is equipped with a limiting block, which is used to synchronously limit the rotation shaft; under the cooperative action of the stop and the limiting block, the rotation shaft is prevented from loosening or coming off, ensuring good connection stability between the rotation shaft and the base when they are in a rotational connection state.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is divided into a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, and the base maintains at least one connection with the first rotating shaft and the base with the second rotating shaft; when the base is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft and disconnected from the second rotating shaft, the support platform can switch states around the first rotating shaft; when the base is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft and disconnected from the first rotating shaft, the support platform can switch states around the second rotating shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the first and second rotating shafts are non-coaxial, enabling the support platform to switch between different directions when rotating around the first or second rotating shaft. When the first and second rotating shafts are parallel, the support platform can switch between parallel and parallel axes around the corresponding axes, thereby adapting to the adjustment requirements of glass workpieces in different processes during the production of energy-saving laminated glass.
[0011] Furthermore, both the stop block and the limiting block are slidably disposed on the base. The stop blocks corresponding to the first and second rotating shafts are respectively the first and second control components, and the limiting blocks corresponding to the first and second rotating shafts are respectively the third and fourth control components. A connecting member is slidably disposed on the base, and the connecting member is fixedly connected to the first and second control components. The connecting member is connected to the third and fourth control components, and the contact surfaces are respectively the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface. The third and fourth control components are respectively provided with corresponding mating third and fourth inclined surfaces. When the connecting member slides along the base, it drives the stop block to move. Under the action of the first, second, third, and fourth inclined surfaces, the limiting blocks are driven to rise and fall synchronously, thereby limiting or releasing the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, when the connecting member moves towards the first control member, it causes the first control member to slide away from the limiting position of the first rotating shaft, releasing the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft. Simultaneously, it pushes the second control member to slide to the limiting position of the second rotating shaft, thus achieving the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft. When the connecting member moves towards the second control member, it causes the second control member to slide away from the limiting position of the second rotating shaft, releasing the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft. Simultaneously, it pushes the first control member to slide to the limiting position of the first rotating shaft, thus achieving the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft. Through the reciprocating sliding of the connecting member, the limiting state between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft is switched, thereby ensuring that at least one rotating shaft is in a fixed connection state at any given time.
[0013] Furthermore, both the stop block and the limiting block are rotatably mounted on the base. The stop block and the limiting block, which are used to limit and fix the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, are each provided with an independent control component. The position of the stop block is controlled by the control component, thereby determining whether the stop block limits and fixes the rotating shaft.
[0014] Furthermore, a flipping mechanism is provided between the base and the support platform. The flipping mechanism includes a flipping motor, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. One end of the flipping motor and the second connecting rod are respectively installed between the base and the support platform and are not located on the same component. The flipping motor and its mounting component are fixedly connected, and one end of the second connecting rod and its mounting component are rotatably connected. One end of the first connecting rod is connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor, and the other end of the first connecting rod and the other end of the second connecting rod are rotatably connected. One end of both the flipping motor and the second connecting rod are arranged on the symmetrical center line between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, located at the middle position between the two shafts.
[0015] The main technical effects of this invention are reflected in the following aspects:
[0016] This invention rotatably mounts the support platform onto a base, allowing the worktable surface to smoothly switch and reliably stop between horizontal, vertical, and any intermediate tilted states. Based on the synergistic action of the rotating shaft and the flipping mechanism, this design ensures the support platform maintains controllable posture during changes in gravity, preventing glass breakage due to sudden tipping or vibration. This feature significantly enhances the equipment's versatility in energy-efficient laminated glass production, particularly suitable for continuous flipping operations of glass of different sizes and thicknesses across multiple processes such as cleaning, lamination, and vacuuming. It reduces manual intervention and the use of auxiliary clamps, improving production efficiency and safety.
[0017] This invention features an open rotating groove on the base, along with a stop block, to enable a detachable connection of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft can slide in or out along the groove, allowing for shaft replacement or platform disassembly / reassembly without the need for complete equipment disassembly. This structure utilizes mechanical limiting instead of traditional bolt fixing, significantly reducing maintenance and debugging time. Furthermore, with a dual-shaft configuration, different shaft modules with varying axes can be quickly switched to adapt to different process requirements, enhancing the equipment's flexible production capabilities.
[0018] By installing a stop block on the opening side of the rotating slot and equipping it with a synchronously acting limit block, a double anti-detachment structure is formed. When the rotating shaft is installed, the stop block prevents it from radially dislodging, while the limit block suppresses axial movement. The combined effect of these two mechanisms effectively improves connection rigidity and vibration resistance. This design solves the problem of easy loosening in traditional single-point limiters, ensuring that the support platform maintains a stable connection under dynamic conditions such as frequent starts and stops, speed changes, and rotations, significantly improving the safety and reliability of equipment operation.
[0019] This invention features a non-coaxial structure for the first and second rotating shafts, with at least one connection between the base and both shafts. By selectively connecting the support platform to either the first or second rotating shaft, attitude adjustments around axes in different directions can be achieved. For example, parallel arrangement enables overall flipping, while vertical arrangement supports compound angle adjustments. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional single-axis flipping, giving the equipment multi-directional movement capabilities and meeting the precise control requirements for tilting, swaying, and other multi-dimensional attitudes in complex processes of laminated glass manufacturing. Addressing the structural stability issue during dual-shaft switching, this invention designs a linkage mechanism consisting of a connector, first to fourth control components, and a beveled surface. When the connector moves, the beveled surface drives the stop and limit block to move synchronously, achieving "first shaft unlocking → second shaft locking" or reverse switching. This mechanism ensures that at least one shaft is locked at any given time, preventing complete instability of the support platform and achieving "continuous connection and continuous protection" during shaft switching, greatly improving operational safety and automation.

[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to make the technical solution of the present invention easier to understand and master. In the embodiments, it should be understood that the terms "middle," "upper," "lower," "top," "right side," "left end," "above," "back," "center," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, unless otherwise specified in this specific embodiment, the connection or fixing method between components can be achieved by bolt fixing, pin fixing, or pin connection commonly used in the prior art, etc., and therefore will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0028] The energy-saving laminar glass shaping equipment provided by this invention is mainly applied in the field of energy-saving safety glass manufacturing using the "laminated glass first, then insulated glass" process route. It is particularly suitable for the continuous production of high-performance composite glass products that require the integration of Low-E coated glass, PVB / SGP interlayer film, and aluminum spacer insulated glass structure. However, it is not limited to this application and can also be used in other similar or identical production processes, such as the vertical lamination and horizontal curing transition process in the "insulated glass first, then laminated glass" process. It can also be extended to industrial scenarios requiring precision assembly and shaping in different spatial postures, such as the lamination alignment before photovoltaic module lamination, the assembly of building curtain wall units, and the multi-layer lamination of bulletproof glass. Its multi-degree-of-freedom load-bearing platform design concept has good versatility and adaptability, and can be modularly configured and functionally extended according to the actual production line layout and process requirements.
[0029] The pre-pressing roller press, vertical hollow glass lamination line, butyl rubber coating device, automatic aluminum spacer placement mechanism, autoclave and its temperature and pressure control system, glass handling robot, vacuum suction cup positioning system, and the optical and thermal performance control principle of Low-E coated glass mentioned above are all widely used technologies and standard configurations in the field of glass deep processing. These are common knowledge, therefore their principles and structures will not be elaborated upon further. The focus of this invention is to achieve efficient connection and coordination between the aforementioned existing technical components through innovative mechanical structure design, rather than to reconstruct the functions of each individual piece of equipment.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2This embodiment discloses a shaping device for energy-saving laminated glass production, including a base 1 and a support platform 2. The base 1 serves as the supporting frame for the entire device, possessing a stable mechanical structure and precise spatial positioning capabilities. The support platform 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. Specifically, through the rotation of the support platform 2 relative to the base 1, the worktable surface of the support platform 2 can switch and arbitrarily remain in a horizontal state, a vertical state, or an arbitrarily tilted state, facilitating the flipping of glass workpieces during the production of energy-saving laminated glass. This multi-position adjustment function is one of the core improvements of this invention, directly solving the problem of repeatedly flipping and transporting glass workpieces between different production lines in traditional processes. The production process of the energy-saving laminated glass is divided into laminated unit preparation and hollow unit preparation. When used for laminated unit preparation, the support platform 2 is in a horizontal state; when used for hollow unit preparation, the support platform 2 is in a vertical state.
[0032] Preferred, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The support platform 2 has a rotating shaft 3, which is used for rotatable connection with the base 1. The rotating shaft 3 and the base 1 are detachably connected. Further optimization is that, in this embodiment, the rotatable connection between the support platform 2 and the base 1 adopts a double non-coaxial rotating shaft structure design, that is, the rotating shaft 3 is divided into a first rotating shaft 31 and a second rotating shaft 32. At least one connection is maintained between the base 1 and the first rotating shaft 31, and between the base 1 and the second rotating shaft 32. When the base 1 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 31 and disconnected from the second rotating shaft 32, the support platform 2 can switch states around the first rotating shaft 31; when the base 1 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 32 and disconnected from the first rotating shaft 31, the support platform 2 can switch states around the second rotating shaft 32. The first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 are non-coaxial, allowing the support platform 2 to switch between different directional states when rotating around the first rotating shaft 31 or the second rotating shaft 32. When the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 are parallel, the support platform 2 can switch between parallel and parallel axes around the corresponding axes, thus adapting to the adjustment needs of glass workpieces in different processes during the production of energy-saving laminated glass. For example, in a regular flipping operation, the first rotating shaft 31 is selected as the main rotating axis; when the shaft wears out due to long-term operation or needs maintenance and replacement, the control mechanism can quickly switch to the second rotating shaft 32 as the rotation center, thereby achieving non-stop maintenance or redundant operation, greatly enhancing the reliability and maintainability of the equipment.
[0033] Further optimization involves using a mechanical linkage mechanism to achieve rapid switching and interlocking control between two non-coaxial rotating shafts, ensuring stable operation of the support platform 2 under different working conditions while also considering ease of maintenance and operational safety. The base 1 has an open rotating groove 4, and a stop 5 is provided on the open side of the rotating groove 4. The rotating groove 4 accommodates and connects the rotating shaft 3 of the support platform 2, enabling the assembly of the base 1 and the rotating shaft 3. Under the action of the stop 5, the rotating shaft 3 can be inserted into or removed along the opening of the rotating groove 4, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the base 1 and the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating shaft 3 and the base 1 are in a rotating connection state, the stop 5 restricts the rotating shaft 3 from radially disengaging, serving as an axial limit and preventing disengagement. When it is necessary to disconnect the rotating shaft 3 from the base 1, the rotating shaft 3 can slide out along the opening direction of the rotating groove 4, at which point the stop 5 releases its restriction on the rotating shaft 3, achieving rapid disassembly. The stop block 5 is equipped with a limiting block 6, which is used to synchronously limit the rotation shaft 3. Under the cooperative action of the stop block 5 and the limiting block 6, the rotation shaft 3 is prevented from loosening or coming off, ensuring that the rotation shaft 3 and the base 1 have good connection stability when in a rotational connection state.
[0034] Based on the above, the limiting structure is extended to a linkage control mechanism suitable for a dual-axis switching system. Both the stop block 5 and the limiting block 6 are slidably mounted on the base 1. The stop blocks 5 corresponding to the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 are respectively the first control element 51 and the second control element 52, and the limiting blocks 6 corresponding to the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 are respectively the third control element 61 and the fourth control element 62. A connecting member 7 is slidably mounted on the base 1. This connecting member 7 serves as the operating center of the entire switching mechanism and is equipped with an independent drive slide or telescopic rod, capable of reciprocating linear motion along the base 1. The connecting member 7 is fixedly connected to the first control member 51 and the second control member 52; the connecting member 7 is connected to the third control member 61 and the fourth control member 62, and the contact surfaces are the first inclined surface 71 and the second inclined surface 72, respectively; the third control member 61 and the fourth control member 62 are respectively provided with a cooperating third inclined surface 63 and a fourth inclined surface 64; when the connecting member 7 slides along the base 1, it drives the stop block 5 to move; under the action of the first inclined surface 71, the second inclined surface 72, the third inclined surface 63 and the fourth inclined surface 64, the limiting block 6 is driven to rise and fall synchronously, thereby limiting or releasing the rotating shaft 3. When the connecting member 7 moves toward the first control member 51, it causes the first control member 51 to slide away from the limiting position of the first rotating shaft 31, releasing the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft 31. At the same time, it pushes the second control member 52 to slide to the limiting position of the second rotating shaft 32, thereby achieving the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft 32. When the connecting member 7 moves toward the second control member 52, it causes the second control member 52 to slide away from the limiting position of the second rotating shaft 32, releasing the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft 32. At the same time, it pushes the first control member 51 to slide to the limiting position of the first rotating shaft 31, thereby achieving the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft 31. Through the reciprocating sliding of the connecting member 7, the limiting state between the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 is switched, thereby ensuring that at least one rotating shaft is in a fixed connection state at any time. This mechanical linkage and interlocking design ensures that at least one rotating shaft is in a completely fixed state at any time, eliminating the safety risk of the support platform 2 becoming unstable or falling due to the simultaneous loosening of both shafts.
[0035] See Figure 6Preferably, a flipping mechanism 8 is provided between the base 1 and the support platform 2. The flipping mechanism 8 includes a flipping motor 81, a first connecting rod 82, and a second connecting rod 83. It enables stepless adjustment of the support platform 2 within a range of 0° (horizontal) to 90° (vertical) or even larger angles, and supports dwell at any intermediate angle to meet the tilting posture requirements of different process stages. One end of the flipping motor 81 and the second connecting rod 83 are respectively installed between the base 1 and the support platform 2 and are not located on the same component. The flipping motor 81 and its mounting component are fixedly connected, while one end of the second connecting rod 83 and its mounting component are rotatably connected. One end of the first connecting rod 82 is connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor 81, and the other end of the first connecting rod 82 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 83. One end of both the flipping motor 81 and the second connecting rod 83 are arranged on the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32. Located on the center line of symmetry, between the two axes, the driving mechanism's line of action lies on the geometric axis of symmetry of the two rotating axes. During the flipping process, the driving torque applied to the support platform 2 is symmetrically distributed about the two axes, effectively avoiding torsional deformation or localized stress concentration caused by eccentric loading, thus improving structural rigidity and operational stability. Regardless of whether the equipment currently uses the first or second rotating axis 32 as the rotation center, the point of action of the flipping mechanism 8 is always within the plane of symmetry of the rotation axis. Therefore, its power output direction remains consistent with the rotation center, preventing interference or drive failure due to axis switching. In other words, the flipping mechanism 8 can adapt to two different rotation modes without needing to adjust its position with axis changes, greatly simplifying the control system and mechanical structure. Concentrating the drive system in the middle area between the two rotating axes helps reduce the overall equipment's center of gravity shift, minimizing swaying and impact during the flipping process. Simultaneously, this layout makes the linkage's motion trajectory more compact, reducing the impact of dynamic inertial forces on the support platform 2, which is beneficial for improving the stability of the glass workpiece during the flipping process and preventing slippage or misalignment.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stop block 5 and the limiting block 6 are not merely slidably disposed on the base 1, but rather employ a rotating mounting structure. That is, the stop block 5 and the limiting block 6 are rotatably connected to the base 1 via a pin or hinge fulcrum, forming a limiting mechanism similar to a lever or swing arm. Specifically:
[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2Both the stop block 5 and the limiting block 6 are rotatably mounted on the base 1. The stop block 5 and the limiting block 6, used for limiting and fixing the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32, are each equipped with an independent control component. The control component can be an actuator such as an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, a solenoid valve drive mechanism, or a linkage system driven by a servo motor. Each control component is dedicated to driving the movement of a corresponding stop block 5 or limiting block 6. By controlling the position of the stop block 5 through the control component, the position of the stop block 5 can be determined, thereby limiting and fixing the rotating shaft 3.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] This embodiment uses an energy-saving laminar glass shaping equipment from Embodiments 1 and 2. The actual production process of the energy-saving laminar glass using this equipment is as follows:
[0041] In the actual production process of energy-saving laminated glass, the first step is the preparation of the laminated unit: a glass sheet with a Low-E low-emissivity coating is aligned with an interlayer material such as PVB or SGP at the lamination station and then fed onto the support platform 2 of this equipment. At this time, the support platform 2 is in a horizontal position, which facilitates the smooth placement of the glass laminated structure by operators or automated robots, ensuring uniform weight distribution and preventing edge misalignment or film slippage. Subsequently, the pre-pressing device (such as a roller press) is started to initially press the laminated structure, forming a "laminated semi-finished product" with a certain structural strength. Since the support platform 2 remains horizontal throughout the pre-pressing process, it effectively ensures full adhesion between the interlayer film and the glass and the removal of air bubbles, improving the quality of the laminated bonding.
[0042] After the interlayer pre-compression is completed, there is no need to transfer the semi-finished product to another independent device. Instead, the attitude is adjusted directly on the same device—that is, the rotating mechanism 8 drives the support platform 2, along with the interlayer semi-finished product on it, to rotate to a vertical position to accommodate the subsequent assembly of hollow units. This process requires no manual intervention or additional hoisting equipment; the attitude change is entirely completed by the device itself, greatly reducing the number of glass handling operations and fundamentally avoiding the risks of edge bumps, surface scratches, and especially contamination or scratches to the Low-E coating layer caused by multiple loading and unloading.
[0043] After the support platform 2 switches to the vertical position, the system automatically enters the insulated glass assembly mode: In the vertical position, the adhesive applicator automatically applies butyl hot melt sealant around the perimeter of the laminated semi-finished product, followed by the placement of an aluminum spacer and the covering of another single-layer energy-saving glass (usually Low-E glass). The initial closure of the insulated unit is then completed by the pressing mechanism. This vertical operation meets the standard process requirements of modern automated insulated glass production lines, facilitating uniform sealant distribution and improved cavity sealing. More importantly, because the laminated semi-finished product remains fixed on the same support platform during the transition from horizontal to vertical, the positioning deviation problems caused by re-clamping in traditional processes are avoided, ensuring the parallelism and alignment accuracy between the two glass panes.
[0044] Finally, the entire hollow unit, along with the support platform 2, is sent into the autoclave for high-temperature and high-pressure curing. During this process, the support platform 2 remains vertical to ensure stable gas flow and uniform pressure transmission within the hollow cavity, thereby achieving complete cross-linking and curing of the interlayer material and permanent sealing of the hollow structure. Thus, this equipment not only serves as a process transition platform but also as an integrated support and attitude control terminal connecting the three key stages of pre-compression, lamination, and shaping, truly realizing the highly efficient manufacturing concept of "one-time clamping, full-process flow."
[0045] Of course, the above are just typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may have many other specific embodiments. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

A connector is slidably disposed on the base, and the connector is fixedly connected to the first control component and the second control component; the connector is connected to the third control component and the fourth control component, and the contact surfaces are the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, respectively; the third control component and the fourth control component are respectively provided with a matching third inclined surface and a fourth inclined surface; When the connector slides along the base, it drives the stop block to move; under the action of the first inclined surface, the second inclined surface, the third inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface, the limiting block is driven to rise and fall synchronously, thereby limiting or releasing the rotating shaft.
4. The energy-saving laminar glass production shaping equipment as described in claim 3, characterized in that: When the connecting member moves toward the first control member, it causes the first control member to slide away from the limiting position of the first rotating shaft, releasing the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft, and at the same time pushes the second control member to slide to the limiting position of the second rotating shaft, thereby achieving the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft; When the connecting member moves toward the second control member, it causes the second control member to slide away from the limiting position of the second rotating shaft, releasing the limiting fixation of the second rotating shaft. At the same time, it pushes the first control member to slide to the limiting position of the first rotating shaft to achieve the limiting fixation of the first rotating shaft. By reciprocating the sliding of the connector, the limiting state between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft can be switched, thereby ensuring that at least one rotating shaft is in a fixed connection state at any time.
5. The energy-saving laminar glass production shaping equipment as described in claim 3, characterized in that: Both the stop block and the limiting block are rotatably mounted on the base. The stop block and the limiting block, which are used for limiting and fixing the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, are each provided with an independent control component. The position of the stop is controlled by the control component, thereby determining whether the stop limits and fixes the rotating shaft.
6. The energy-saving laminar glass production shaping equipment as described in claim 5, characterized in that: A flipping mechanism is provided between the base and the support platform, and the flipping mechanism includes a flipping motor, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod.
