Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of curved glass production and processing, and in particular to a curved glass drying device and a curved glass drying method. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass processing industry, cleaning machines are key equipment on the production line. Their performance is directly related to production efficiency and product quality, and is an important indicator for measuring the competitiveness of cover plate manufacturers. Depending on the products being cleaned, they are generally divided into ultrasonic cleaning machines (for complex 3D products and C-shaped high-arc products) and flat plate cleaning machines (for 2D and C-shaped low-arc products).

[0003] Ultrasonic cleaning uses a trough-type basket structure, requiring customized baskets for each product and manual placement of products before and after cleaning, resulting in high costs and low efficiency. The basket placement process also easily causes scratches, marks, and stubborn dirt, leading to low cleaning yield and increased production costs. Furthermore, ultrasonic cleaning tanks consume large amounts of water and have high heating energy consumption. Flatbed cleaning can clean C-shaped low-arc products, but the air knife gap in the drying section cannot be adjusted in real time, and the air knife installation affects the conveyor roller gap, thus causing instability in the drying process and drying effect.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, some existing devices (e.g., application number 202311139510.2, titled "Glass Dryer") use robotic arms and suction cups to adsorb glass, simultaneously bringing the glass close to an air knife for drying. However, in practical use, this device cannot effectively adsorb curved glass, thus making the drying of curved glass still challenging. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the conveyor table 10 transports and temporarily stores the curved glass 100, the lifting structure 20 adjusts the position of the curved glass 100 to facilitate accurate grasping by the subsequent robot system 50, the industrial camera 41 takes pictures of the curved glass 100, and transmits the acquired raw image data to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer processes the raw image data, performs coordinate calculations and transformations, and sends instructions to the robot system 20 so that the first handling module 51 can grasp the curved glass 100. After grasping, it is placed above the drying structure 30 to achieve air drying of the curved glass 100. After large-area air drying, it is handed over to the second handling module 52. At this time, the areas that were not dried due to the grasping of the first handling module 51 can be dried, ultimately achieving comprehensive and good air drying of the curved glass 100. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of difficulty in achieving good air drying of curved glass in the prior art.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting structure 20 includes an adjusting roller 21, a first drive motor 22, a lifting cylinder 23, limiting posts 24, a first mounting base 25, and a second mounting base 26. The first mounting base 25 is disposed on the lifting cylinder 23, and the first drive motor 22 is mounted on the first mounting base 25. The lifting cylinder 23 can drive the first mounting base 25 and the first drive motor 22 mounted thereon to move up and down synchronously. The adjusting roller 21 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting base 25. The adjusting roller 21 and the first drive motor 22 are connected by a transmission. The first drive motor 22 drives the adjusting roller 21 to rotate. At the same time, the adjusting roller 21 moves up and down synchronously with the first mounting base 25. The second mounting base 26 is mounted on the first mounting base 25 and moves up and down synchronously with the first mounting base 25. Multiple limiting posts 24 are provided. Multiple limiting posts 24 are spaced apart on the second mounting base 26 along the extension direction of the second mounting base 26. The limiting posts 24 limit the curved glass 100 to prevent the curved glass 100 from falling. The adjusting roller 21 can adjust the degree of curvature of the curved glass 100 by raising and lowering it, so that the first conveying module 51 can grasp the curved glass 100.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the illumination structure 42 includes a light source plate 421, a mounting frame 422, a mating plate 423, a hinge seat 424, a first support beam 425, a second support beam 426, and a third support beam 427.

The second support beam 426 is connected to the conveyor table 10. The hinge seat 424 is mounted on the first support beam 425. The light source plate 421 is disposed within the mounting frame 422, which is hinged to the hinge seat 424. The mating plate 423 is fixed below the mounting frame 422 and has a sliding groove 4231. The mounting frame 422 can rotate the light source plate 421 around the hinge seat 424, allowing for adaptive adjustment of the angle of the light source plate 421. The light source plate 421 is always positioned below the industrial camera 41, resulting in clearer images captured by the industrial camera 41.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the lighting structure 42 further includes an adjusting screw 428 and an adjusting nut 429. The first end of the adjusting screw 428 has a protrusion, which is movably disposed within the slide groove 4231. The second end of the adjusting screw 428 passes through the third support beam 427 and is locked by the adjusting nut 429. As the light source plate 421 rotates, the adjusting screw 428 rises and falls adaptively. After rotating to a suitable position, the adjusting nut 429 retracts, limiting the adjustment screw 428 and ultimately fixing the light source plate 421.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first conveying module 51 includes a gripper structure 511. The gripper structure 511 includes a mounting plate 5111, a second drive motor 5112, a lead screw 5113, a nut seat 5114, and a connecting seat 5115.

The connecting seat 5115 moves synchronously with the movement of the nut seat 5114.

[0033] It should be noted that there are two sets of nut seats 5114 and connecting seats 5115. The connecting seats 5115 and nut seats 5114 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The lead screw 5113 has threads with opposite directions of rotation, so that the two sets of nut seats 5114 can move closer to each other or further away from each other.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the gripper structure 511 further includes an adjusting cylinder 5116, a gripper body 5117, and a slider 5118. The adjusting cylinder 5116 is mounted on the connecting seat 5115. The connecting seat 5115 drives the adjusting cylinder 5116 to move synchronously to achieve the first position adjustment of the gripper body 5117. The gripper body 5117 and the cylinder rod of the adjusting cylinder 5116 are connected. The adjusting cylinder 5116 can drive the gripper body 5117 to make more precise position adjustments. The surface of the gripper body 5117 has an anti-slip layer, which makes the gripper body 5117 grip the curved glass 100 more stably. The slider 5118 is connected to the connecting seat 5115. The side wall of the mounting plate 5111 is provided with a slide rail. The slider 5118 is movably disposed in the slide rail. This arrangement makes the connecting seat 5115 more stable when it moves.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first handling module 51 further includes a robot body 512. The robot body 512 includes a first frame 5121, a first rotary motor 5122, a base 5123, a second rotary motor 5124, a first robotic arm 5125, a third rotary motor 5126, a second robotic arm 5127, and a flange 5128. The first rotary motor 5122 is mounted on the first frame 5121, and the base 5123 is mounted on the output end of the first rotary motor 5122. The first rotary motor 5122 drives the base 5123 to rotate. The second rotary motor 5124 is mounted on the base 5123 and rotates synchronously with the rotation of the base 5123. The first robotic arm 5125 and the second rotary motor 5127 rotate synchronously with the rotation of the base 5123. The output end of the first robotic arm 5125 is connected to the second rotary motor 5124, which drives the first robotic arm 5125 to rotate. The third rotary motor 5126 is mounted on the first robotic arm 5125 and rotates synchronously with the first robotic arm 5125. The output end of the second robotic arm 5127 is connected to the third rotary motor 5126, which drives the second robotic arm 5127 to rotate. The flange 5128 is mounted on the second robotic arm 5127, which drives the flange 5128 to rotate synchronously. The mounting plate 5111 is connected to the flange 5128 and rotates synchronously with the flange 5128, ultimately achieving the position adjustment of the gripper structure 511.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the drying structure 30 includes a second frame 31, a vortex fan 32, a filter 33, an air box 34, an air box hose 35, a pressure gauge 36, an air knife bracket 37, an air knife hose 38, and an air knife 39. The air box 34 is disposed inside the second frame 31. The vortex fan 32, the filter 33, and the air box 34 are connected in sequence. The vortex fan generates airflow and pressure. The airflow flows into the filter 33, which filters impurities in the airflow. The filtered gas flows into the air box 34, which plays the role of stabilizing pressure and guiding airflow. At the same time, the air box 34 can also divide the airflow into multiple paths to achieve the purpose of drying multiple curved glass 100s simultaneously. The air knife 39 is connected to the air knife hose 38 and the air box 34 in sequence through the air box hose 35. The high-speed and stable airflow from the air box 34 is blown out from the air knife 39 and acts on the curved glass 100 to accelerate the drying effect of the cleaned curved glass 100. The air pressure gauge 36 is installed on the air box hose 35. The air pressure gauge 36 can convert the air pressure signal into a visual reading, thereby realizing the monitoring, evaluation and fault diagnosis of the operating status. The air knife bracket 37 is installed on the second frame 31, and the air knife 39 is installed on the air knife bracket 37. The air knife 39 is adaptively designed with multiple sets.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying table 10 includes a third frame 11, a roller 12 and a third drive motor. The roller 12 is rotatably mounted on the third frame 11. The third drive motor and the roller 12 are connected in a transmission manner. The third drive motor drives the roller 12 to rotate to realize the conveying of the curved glass 100. The conveying table can be set at the end of the conveying mechanism of the curved glass cleaning device, which can realize a good transition of the curved glass 100.

[0038] It should be noted that the conveyor table 10 also includes a drive belt, pulleys, and tension rollers. Multiple sets of rollers 12 are arranged along the width direction of the third frame 11, and multiple sets of pulleys are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the rollers 12. The third drive motor drives a set of rollers 12 and the corresponding pulleys to rotate synchronously. The drive belt is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the pulley and achieves transmission through friction with the pulley. As the drive belt moves, it drives the rotation of other pulleys, and finally realizes the rotation of other rollers 12, thereby realizing the conveying of the curved glass 100.

[0039] This embodiment also provides a method for drying curved glass. The method for drying curved glass 100 includes the following steps: S10 conveyor table 10 conveys and temporarily stores curved glass 100. The conveyor table 10 is connected to the conveying end of the curved glass cleaning device to realize the conveying of curved glass 100. The S20 vision system 40 collects position information of the curved glass 100 and analyzes the collected data to obtain the corresponding position coordinates of the curved glass 100. S30 The first handling module 51 grabs the curved glass 100 according to the position coordinates and places it above the drying structure 30 for air drying; S40 The curved glass 100 is transferred from the first transport module 51 to the second transport module 52, and the gripping position is adjusted to achieve all-round air drying of the curved glass 100.

[0040] Specifically, the conveyor 10 transports the cleaned curved glass 100, and then the limiting post 24 limits the curved glass 100 to prevent it from falling. At the same time, the adjusting roller 21 is adjusted in position under the drive of the lifting cylinder 23 so that the first handling module 51 can handle the curved glass 100. The industrial camera 41 acquires images of the curved glass 100 and transmits the acquired raw image data to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer processes the raw image data, performs coordinate calculation and transformation, and controls the robot body 512 to make corresponding adjustments according to the coordinates. The gripper structure 511 grasps the curved glass 100. After grasping, it is moved above the air knife 39 to air dry the curved glass 100. After air drying for a period of time, the curved glass 100 is handed over to the second handling module 52 to air dry the parts that were not reached by the air knife. After a second air drying, the curved glass 100 is transferred by the second handling module 53 to await subsequent processes. It should be noted that the conveyor 10, lifting structure 20, drying structure 30, industrial camera 41, lighting structure 42, and robot system 50 can all be uniformly controlled by an industrial control computer. The specific control circuits are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
