Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass conveying technology, specifically to an intelligent suspended conveying device for tempered glass processing. Background Technology
[0002] Tempered glass, with its superior properties such as high strength, impact resistance, and safety, is widely used in various fields including construction, automobiles, and electronic equipment. In the large-scale production and processing of tempered glass, from raw sheet cutting, edge grinding, and cleaning to tempering and subsequent coating, the glass requires multiple transfers and conveying processes. Because finished or semi-finished tempered glass products are characterized by their smooth surface, high brittleness, and diverse sizes, the stability, accuracy, and safety of this conveying process directly affect the product qualification rate and production efficiency.
[0003] In the design of tempered glass conveying equipment, multi-dimensional collaborative operation capability and adsorption stability are crucial. Existing technologies have made various attempts to improve the conveying effect. For example, some conveying devices improve translation accuracy by optimizing the track structure or enhance adsorption force by using a multi-suction cup layout. However, these existing devices still have many technical problems that need to be solved in practical applications: traditional conveying devices mostly adopt a single-direction conveying structure, making it difficult to achieve integrated collaborative operation of horizontal translation, vertical lifting, and angular rotation simultaneously. This leads to frequent switching of conveying equipment during multi-process flow, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the risk of glass breakage due to secondary clamping during transfer. At the same time, the design of the adsorption components has defects. The sealing performance of some adsorption devices is poor, and after long-term use, air leakage will reduce the adsorption force, further affecting the safety of the conveying process.
[0004] These problems make it difficult for existing tempered glass conveying devices to meet the demands for efficient, precise, and safe conveying in large-scale production, thus hindering the improvement of production efficiency and product qualification rate. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent suspended conveying device that can achieve multi-dimensional collaborative conveying and stable and reliable adsorption to solve the above pain points.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This invention constructs a comprehensive conveying and control system through the integrated design of a translation component, a vertical movement component, and a rotation component. The translation component, through the cooperation of a translation ball screw and a drive motor, achieves stable and precise horizontal displacement, with the guiding effect of two guide columns further ensuring translation accuracy. The vertical movement component utilizes a servo motor to drive a vertical ball screw transmission, coupled with the limiting guidance of two guide rods, to achieve high-precision vertical lifting. Furthermore, the position sensor equipped with the servo motor provides real-time position feedback, ensuring the accuracy of lifting control. The rotation component, through the cooperation of the first and second balls at both ends of the connecting rod and the internal helical groove of the I-shaped cylinder, transforms the linear motion of the vertical ball screw into the rotational motion of the I-shaped cylinder. The 45° helical helix angle design ensures smooth and efficient rotational transmission, enabling flexible adjustment of the glass angle. The coordinated operation of these three components completely solves the limitations of traditional single-direction conveying devices, meeting the needs for multi-dimensional control of horizontal, vertical, and rotational movements in the multi-process flow of tempered glass processing, and significantly improving the flexibility and accuracy of conveying operations.
[0020] 2. The adsorption assembly of this invention employs six evenly distributed suction cup components, combined with the stable support of the mounting frame assembly, forming an all-around adsorption and fixation structure to ensure balanced force on the glass. The first and second rubber discs built into the suction cup components are made of nitrile rubber, and the outer peripheral walls are provided with annular sealing grooves and sealing rings, which significantly improves the adsorption sealing performance and effectively avoids the problem of decreased adsorption force caused by air leakage. The anti-slip texture on the adsorption end face of the suction cup further enhances the adsorption friction and prevents slippage during glass transport. At the same time, the adsorption assembly uses a cylinder to drive a slip ring to move a moving ring along an I-shaped cylinder, thereby realizing the adsorption and release control of the suction cup components. The operation is convenient and the response is rapid. Combined with the high-precision fit gap design between the components, the stability of the adsorption action is ensured, minimizing the risk of breakage such as chipping and cracking of tempered glass caused by unstable adsorption or uneven force.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The intelligent suspended conveying device for tempered glass processing involved in the present invention is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The intelligent suspended conveying device for tempered glass processing shown includes: a translation component 1, which consists of a mounting base 11, several mounting holes 12, two guide columns 13, a translation ball screw 14, a drive motor 15, a translation ball nut 16, a fixing sleeve 17, and two guide sleeves 18.
[0032] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the translation component 1 enables the vertical movement component 2 to perform translational motion. First, a mounting base 11 conforming to the design specifications is selected, and several mounting holes 12 are machined at preset positions on the outer wall of the mounting base 11. The mounting base 11 is then fixed to the external positioning frame using high-strength bolts through the mounting holes 12 to ensure that the mounting base 11 is installed firmly without loosening or shifting. Subsequently, the two guide pillars 13 are fixed at both ends to the threaded holes designed at both ends of the inner wall of the mounting base 11 through their own external threads. In addition, one end of the guide pillar 13 is designed with a hexagonal hole shape to facilitate the user's installation and disassembly using the matching tools, ensuring that the parallelism of the guide pillar 13 after installation is the same as that of the mounting base 11. One end of the translation ball screw 14 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 11 through a bearing, and the other end is connected to the drive motor 1 through a coupling. The output shaft of 5 is fixedly connected to ensure the stable rotation of the translation ball screw 14. The fixed end of the drive motor 15 is fixed to one end of the outer wall of the mounting base 11 with bolts to ensure that the drive motor 15 will not rotate on its own. During the installation process, ensure that the translation ball screw 14 and the guide post 13 are arranged in parallel. The inner wall of the translation ball nut 16 is connected to the outer wall of the translation ball screw 14 with ball bearings. The bottom outer wall of the translation ball nut 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 17 with an interference fit and bolts. The outer wall of the fixed sleeve 17 is fixed to the back of the positioning plate 21 with bolts. The rotation of the translation ball screw 14 is converted into linear motion force by the translation ball nut 16 and the fixed sleeve 17. At the same time, the inner peripheral walls of the two guide sleeves 18 integrally formed on the back of the positioning plate 21 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two guide posts 13 respectively. During the sliding process, ensure that there is no jamming and that the gap is uniform.
[0033] In the horizontal translation mode, according to the preset conveying path, the external control system sends a command to the drive motor 15, which rotates forward or backward, driving the translation ball screw 14 to rotate. The translation ball screw 14 and the translation ball nut 16 are connected by ball transmission, driving the fixed sleeve 17 to move the positioning plate 21 horizontally along the guide column 13, thereby driving the vertical moving component 2, the rotating component 3, the adsorption component 4 and the adsorbed glass to move horizontally synchronously. The guide column 13 plays a guiding role, ensuring that the translation process is stable, without deviation or shaking, and meeting the position requirements of multi-process flow.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The intelligent suspended conveying device for tempered glass processing shown includes a vertical moving component 2 fixed to the moving end of a translation component 1 by bolts, a rotating component 3 mounted on the bottom end of the vertical moving component 2 by bearings, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating component 3 being slidably connected to the inner peripheral wall of the power end of an adsorption component 4, the adsorption end of the adsorption component 4 being fixedly positioned at the edge of a mounting frame assembly 5, and the surface of the mounting frame assembly 5 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating component 3 by bolts; the vertical moving component 2 consists of a positioning plate 21, a vertical moving plate 22, a servo motor 23, a vertical ball screw 24, and a vertical ball nut. The rotating assembly 3 consists of an I-shaped cylinder 31, a spiral groove 32, a threaded disc 33, a connecting rod 34, a first sphere 35, a second sphere 36, and a positioning arc disc 37; the suction assembly 4 consists of a moving ring 41, six support rods 42, an annular groove 43, a protrusion 44, a cylinder 45, a slip ring 46, and six suction cup components 47; the suction cup component 47 consists of a suction cup 471, a housing 472, a suction rod 473, a first rubber disc 474, and a second rubber disc 475; the mounting frame assembly 5 consists of a base plate 51, six support blocks 52, and six through holes 53.
[0035] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the vertical moving component 2, rotating component 3, adsorption component 4, mounting frame assembly 5, and translation component 1 work together to perform multi-dimensional collaborative transport of the stably adsorbed tempered glass. A vertical moving plate 22 is provided on the front of the positioning plate 21. The positioning plate 21 is a base plate and a fixing sleeve 17 bolted together. A servo motor 23 is bolted to the top of the positioning plate 21 to ensure stable operation of the servo motor 23. The output shaft of the servo motor 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical ball screw 24 through a coupling. The rotational force of the output shaft of the servo motor 23 acts on the vertical ball screw 24 to make it rotate. The outer wall of the vertical ball screw 24 is connected to the inner wall of the vertical ball nut 25 embedded in the top of the vertical moving plate 22. The outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the vertical ball screw 24 is fixed to the inner surface of the positioning plate 21 through a bearing to ensure vertical... The ball screw 24 rotates flexibly. Two guide rods 26 are threaded to the inner surface and top of the positioning plate 21, respectively, with a pre-applied lubricating coating on their surfaces. The channel holes at both ends of the vertical moving plate 22 slide and engage with the guide rods 26, with a clearance typically controlled at 0.03mm to ensure smooth vertical sliding along the guide rods 26. Furthermore, the surfaces of the vertical moving plate 22 and the guide rods 26 that approach each other are treated with smooth ends to reduce friction during movement, thus ensuring rapid and real-time subsequent motion. A micro-interval is provided between them, typically set to within 0.1mm. A position sensor is installed on the servo motor 23 and connected to the external control system signal transmission for signal transmission debugging, ensuring accurate position detection.
[0036] A type I cylinder 31 is machined, with a helical groove 32 cut into its central axis. The helix angle is controlled at 45°. Further details are needed: the helical groove 32 features a central axis and a slotted hole rotating along the central axis; the groove width matches the diameters of the first ball 35 and the second ball 36; a threaded disc 33 is threaded into the top of the type I cylinder 31 for sealing and limiting; the top of the connecting rod 34 is integrally formed with the bottom of the vertical ball screw 24; the surfaces of the first ball 35 and the second ball 36, integrally formed at the diagonal ends of the connecting rod 34, are coated with a wear-resistant coating to ensure hardness and wear resistance; the connecting rod 34 is placed inside the helical groove 32 of the type I cylinder 31, so that the first... The outer walls of spheres 35 and 36 rotate and fit against the inner wall of the spiral shaft of the spiral groove 32 without any jamming or abnormal noise during rotation. In addition, under the rotation of the connecting rod 34, the first sphere 35 and the second sphere 36 respectively support the inner bottom of the spiral shaft groove of the threaded disk 33 and the spiral groove 32, causing the I-shaped cylinder 31 to rotate. The top of the I-shaped cylinder 31 is connected to the bottom bearing of the vertical moving plate 22 by two positioning arc disks 37. The top of the I-shaped cylinder 31 is secured by the bearing inside the positioning arc disk 37 and fixed to the bottom of the vertical moving plate 22 by bolts. According to the characteristics of the bearing, the I-shaped cylinder 31 rotates stably with the bottom of the vertical moving plate 22 as the base point.
[0037] The inner circumferential wall of the moving ring 41 is fitted onto the outer circumferential wall of the I-shaped cylinder 31. The inner wall of the moving ring 41 is pre-processed with a polished layer to ensure smooth sliding with the outer circumferential wall of the I-shaped cylinder 31. A ring groove 43 is opened on the surface of the moving ring 41. The inner ends of the six support rods 42 are integrally formed with the outer circumferential wall of the moving ring 41 and are evenly distributed. The outer ends are fixedly connected to the suction ends of the six suction cup components 47 by nuts. A protrusion 44 is integrally formed on the bottom side wall of the vertical moving plate 22. The fixed end of the cylinder 45 is fixed to the surface of the protrusion 44 by screws. The telescopic end passes through the through hole on the surface of the protrusion 44 and is welded to the surface of the slip ring 46. The slip ring 46 is embedded in the ring groove 43. The outer circumferential wall of the slip ring 46 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the ring groove 43. The thickness is one-third of the thickness of the ring groove 43 and is adapted to the groove ring on the inner side wall of the ring groove 43 to ensure that the cylinder drives the moving ring 41 to slide smoothly.
[0038] The base plate 51 of the mounting frame assembly 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the I-shaped cylinder 31 with bolts. The side wall of the base plate 51 is integrally formed with six support blocks 52. Through holes 53 are opened on the surface of the support blocks 52. The top of the suction cup 471 and the bottom of the outer shell 472 are respectively connected to the flanges on both sides of the protruding point on the edge of the support block 52. The connecting cylinder of the suction cup 471 is inserted and fixed inside the through hole 53. The suction rod 473 is placed inside the suction cup 471 and the outer shell 472. The top end is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support rod 42 with a nut. The first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 are made of nitrile rubber. The outer peripheral wall is opened with an annular sealing groove and an embedded sealing ring. The outer peripheral wall is sealed to the inner wall of the suction cup 471 and the outer shell 472 respectively. The inner wall is bonded and fixed to the outer wall of the suction rod 473 to ensure good sealing performance. The adsorption end face of the suction cup 471 is processed with anti-slip texture to enhance adsorption friction.
[0039] In the glass adsorption method, the external control system issues an adsorption command, and the extension end of the cylinder 45 retracts the slip ring 46, causing the moving ring 41 to move upward along the I-shaped cylinder 31. The moving ring 41 pulls the suction rod 473 upward through the support rod 42, and the suction rod 473 drives the first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 to move upward synchronously, so that a negative pressure is formed inside the suction cup 471. When the adsorption end face of the suction cup 471 contacts the surface of the tempered glass, the glass is firmly adsorbed under the action of negative pressure. The sealing structure of the first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 effectively prevents air leakage and ensures stable adsorption force. The six suction cup components 47 are evenly distributed, so that the glass is subjected to balanced force and avoids local stress concentration that may cause glass breakage.
[0040] In the vertical lifting mode, the external control system sends a lifting command to the servo motor 23. The servo motor 23 rotates forward or in reverse, driving the vertical ball screw 24 to rotate through the coupling. The vertical ball screw 24 and the vertical ball nut 25 drive the vertical moving plate 22 to rise and fall vertically along the guide rod 26, simultaneously driving the rotating component 3, the adsorption component 4, and the glass to rise and fall. The position sensor on the servo motor 23 detects the lifting position in real time and feeds the signal back to the control system to achieve closed-loop control and accurately control the height docking of the glass with each process equipment.
[0041] In the angle rotation method, when the glass angle needs to be adjusted, the external control system controls the output shaft of the servo motor 23 to rotate, which drives the vertical ball screw 24 to rotate. The vertical ball screw 24 drives the connecting rod 34 to rotate. The first ball 35 and the second ball 36 at both ends of the connecting rod 34 slide in the spiral groove 32 of the I-shaped cylinder 31. Due to the spiral structure of the spiral groove 32, the linear motion of the connecting rod 34 is converted into the rotational motion of the I-shaped cylinder 31. The I-shaped cylinder 31 drives the glass on the bottom-fixed mounting bracket 5 and the adsorption assembly 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the angle adjustment. By controlling the rotation angle of the servo motor 23, the rotation angle of the glass can be precisely adjusted to meet the requirements of different processes for the glass angle.
[0042] In the glass release mechanism, once the glass is delivered to the target position, the external control system issues a release command. The telescopic end of cylinder 45 extends, pushing slip ring 46 to move moving ring 41 downwards along the I-shaped cylinder 31. Moving ring 41, via support rod 42, pushes suction rod 473 downwards. The first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 move downwards synchronously, releasing the negative pressure inside suction cup 471 and allowing the glass to be released smoothly. The release process is smooth and impact-free, preventing glass breakage due to excessively rapid release.
[0043] The working principle of the intelligent suspended conveyor for tempered glass processing is as follows: Before starting the device, it is necessary to ensure that each component is in a preset initial position: the drive motor 15 of the translation component 1 and the servo motor 23 of the vertical movement component 2 are both in a power-off standby state; the vertical movement plate 22 is located at the upper end of the vertical stroke; the I-shaped cylinder 31 of the rotation component 3 remains vertical, and the first ball 35 and the second ball 36 are in the initial position at the upper end of the spiral groove 32; the cylinder 45 of the adsorption component 4 has its extension rod extended, and the suction rod 473 drives the first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 to be located at the lower end of the suction cup 471, and the suction cup 471 is in a non-adsorption state; the base plate 51 of the mounting frame group 5 is firmly connected to the relevant components through the support block 52, and the through hole 53 ensures that the movement of the components is free from interference. Glass adsorption stage: A start signal is sent to the servo motor 23 through a preset program, and the output shaft of the servo motor 23 drives the vertical ball screw 24 to rotate clockwise.Since the vertical ball screw nut 25 is rigidly connected to the vertical moving plate 22, and the vertical moving plate 22 is guided and limited by the guide rod 26, the rotational motion of the vertical ball screw 24 is converted into the vertical downward linear motion of the vertical moving plate 22 along the guide rod 26. The vertical moving plate 22 drives the connected I-shaped cylinder 31, the base plate 51, and the adsorption assembly 4 to move downward as a whole, so that the suction cup 471 under the base plate 51 is precisely attached to the upper surface of the tempered glass. At this time, the position sensor of the servo motor 23 detects the preset position signal, the output shaft stops rotating, and the vertical moving plate 22 remains fixed in its current position. The preset program starts the cylinder 45, and the air... When cylinder 45 retracts its telescopic rod, it causes the slip ring 46 and moving ring 41, which are fixedly connected to it, to slide upward along the outer wall of the I-shaped cylinder 31. This, in turn, drives the suction rod 473 and its associated first rubber disc 474 and second rubber disc 475 via the support rod 42, lifting them upward within the sealed space formed by the fixed tube of the suction cup 471 and the outer shell 472. The upward movement of the first rubber disc 474 and second rubber disc 475 creates a negative pressure environment inside the suction cup 471, using the pressure difference to firmly adsorb the tempered glass, completing the adsorption action. During the vertical lifting phase, after the adsorption action is completed, a preset program controls the output shaft of the servo motor 23 to rotate counterclockwise, driving... The vertical ball screw 24 rotates in the opposite direction, and the vertical ball nut 25 drives the vertical moving plate 22 to move vertically upward along the guide rod 26, causing the suction cup 471 holding the tempered glass to rise synchronously, lifting the tempered glass from the initial placement surface to the preset conveying height, avoiding friction and collision between the glass and other components during the conveying process; during the translation and rotation stage, after the vertical lifting is in place, the preset program starts the drive motor 15, and the output shaft of the drive motor 15 drives the translation ball screw 14 to rotate. The translation ball nut 16 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 21, and the positioning plate 21 is guided by the guide post 13. The rotation of the translation ball screw 14 is converted into The positioning plate 21 moves horizontally along the guide column 13, thereby driving the entire glass-carrying assembly to translate towards the target delivery position. During the translation, the rotating assembly 3 starts synchronously: the connecting rod 34 rotates inside the I-shaped cylinder 31 under the drive of the vertical ball screw 24. The first ball 35 and the second ball 36 connected at both ends of the connecting rod 34 roll along the spiral groove 32. As the translation distance increases, the second ball 36 gradually rolls towards the bottom of the spiral groove 32. When the second ball 36 reaches the bottom limit position of the spiral groove 32, the generated lateral thrust drives the I-shaped cylinder 31 to rotate around the bearing connection between its top and the bottom of the vertical moving plate 22.When the I-shaped cylinder 31 rotates, it drives the slip ring 46 to rotate synchronously within the annular groove 43 of the moving ring 41. The base plate 51 rotates together with the I-shaped cylinder 31, thereby driving the adsorbed tempered glass to complete the rotation adjustment of the preset angle. The I-shaped cylinder 31 stops rotating to ensure that the orientation of the glass when it reaches the target position meets the processing requirements. During the glass placement stage, after the device is moved to the target position and the glass is rotated into place, the preset program restarts the servo motor 23. The output shaft drives the vertical ball screw 24 to rotate clockwise, and the vertical moving plate 22 moves vertically downward along the guide rod 26, accurately conveying the tempered glass above the target placement surface. As the vertical moving plate 22 moves downward, the second ball 36 disengages from the top holding state at the bottom of the spiral groove 32 and is guided by the spiral groove 32. Under the action of the cylinder, the glass gradually resets. Conversely, when the first ball 35 and the threaded disc 33 are pressed together, the I-shaped cylinder 31 rotates in the opposite direction and resets. After the tempered glass is in contact with the target placement surface, the cylinder 45 extends its telescopic rod, which drives the slip ring 46, support rod 42 and suction rod 473 to move down. The first rubber disc 474 and the second rubber disc 475 return to their initial positions, the negative pressure inside the suction cup 471 disappears, and the adsorption state is released. After the glass is placed, the preset program controls each component to operate in the opposite direction: the servo motor 23 drives the vertical moving plate 22 to reset upward to the initial height; the drive motor 15 drives the translation component to return to the initial position; the cylinder 45 and the rotating component both return to their initial state. The entire device completes one complete tempered glass suspension and conveying cycle and waits for the next operation command.
