Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass protection technology, and more particularly to a buffer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the glass production and transportation process, the glass is in a dynamic state of movement and is prone to collisions due to deviations in the transmission trajectory, contact between equipment, and other reasons.

[0003] Because glass is brittle and its surface is easily damaged, traditional rigid support structures offer no cushioning when in contact with it, easily leading to scratches and breakage of the glass surface and affecting product quality. Existing cushioning structures are often complex and lack flexibility in adjusting the cushioning force and support position, making them unsuitable for the glass cushioning needs of different transmission scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a buffer mechanism.

[0005] The present invention proposes a buffer mechanism for buffering glass during transmission, comprising: a base, a rod, a support, and an adjustment. The rod has a first hinge point connected to the base. The support is movably mounted on the rod and located on one side of the first hinge point to abut against the glass. The adjustment is mounted on the rod and located on the other side of the first hinge point to maintain torque balance on both sides of the first hinge point on the rod, so that the support maintains a predetermined position when there is no external force and forms a buffer when the support contacts the glass.

[0006] Preferably, the support is a rotating wheel, which is rotatably mounted on the rod, and a rubber ring is installed on the edge of the rotating wheel to avoid scratching the glass.

[0007] Preferably, the adjusting part includes a counterweight, which is mounted on the rod and can form a torque balance with the wheel on the rod.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a telescopic rod, which is fixedly installed at the end of the rod body, and a counterweight is installed at the output end of the telescopic rod.

[0009] Preferably, the counterweight includes multiple counterweight blocks, all of which are detachably installed at the output end of the telescopic rod.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod, both of which are fixedly installed on the base. The first limiting rod and the second limiting rod are located on the first vertical plane, with the first limiting rod located above the second limiting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the rod is located between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod, which can block the rod to prevent it from becoming unbalanced and impacting the glass.

[0012] Preferably, the first vertical surface is located between the first hinge point and the counterweight.

[0013] The buffer mechanism proposed in this invention has the following advantages: by cooperating with the support part and the adjustment part, the torque balance on both sides of the first hinge point is utilized to achieve buffer protection for the transmission glass; the support part uses a rotating wheel and a rubber ring to avoid scratching the glass; the adjustment part, through a telescopic rod and a detachable counterweight, can flexibly adjust the torque balance and buffering force; the setting of the limit rod prevents the rod from becoming unbalanced and impacting the glass, which can adapt to the buffering needs of different glass transmission scenarios, reduce damage during glass transmission, and ensure product quality.

[0016] refer to Figure 1-2 This invention proposes a buffer mechanism, comprising: a base 1, a rod 2, a support portion, and an adjustment portion. The rod 2 has a first hinge point 21, which is hinged to the base 1, allowing the rod 2 to swing about the first hinge point 21 in a vertical plane. The support portion is mounted on the rod 2 and located on one side of the first hinge point 21, serving to abut against the glass during transport. The adjustment portion is mounted on the rod 2 and located on the other side of the first hinge point 21, serving to balance the torque generated by the support portion.

[0017] When no external force is applied, the torques of the adjusting part and the supporting part relative to the first hinge point 21 are equal, the rod 2 remains stationary, and the supporting part is in a predetermined position. When the glass touches the supporting part during transmission, the force exerted by the glass causes the rod 2 to rotate around the first hinge point 21, and the supporting part moves with the rod 2, thus buffering the glass. After the glass leaves, the rod 2 automatically returns to the predetermined position under the torque of the adjusting part.

[0018] The support is preferably a rotating wheel 3. The rotating wheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the end of the rod 2, and a rubber ring 4 is installed on the edge of the rotating wheel 3. When the glass comes into contact with the rotating wheel 3, the rotating wheel 3 can rotate with the glass, forming rolling friction between them. The rubber ring 4 can further reduce the impact and scratches on the glass surface.

[0019] The adjustment unit includes a counterweight 5. The counterweight 5 is mounted on the rod 2, and its torque balances the torque of the gravity on the side of the rotating wheel 3 (including the weight of the rotating wheel 3 and part of the rod 2). To facilitate adjustment of the balancing torque, the invention also includes a telescopic rod 8. The telescopic rod 8 is fixedly mounted on the end of the rod 2, and the counterweight 5 is mounted on the output end of the telescopic rod 8. By adjusting the extension length of the telescopic rod 8, the distance of the counterweight 5 relative to the first hinge point 21 can be changed, thereby changing its torque. The counterweight 5 may further include multiple counterweight blocks 51, all of which are detachably mounted on the output end of the telescopic rod 8, for example, through threaded connections or snap-fit ​​connections. The operator can increase or decrease the number of counterweight blocks 51 as needed to match the balancing torque required for different glass specifications.

[0020] To prevent excessive swinging of the rod 2 from causing secondary impact on the glass, this invention also includes a first limiting rod 6 and a second limiting rod 7. Both the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 are fixedly installed on the base 1 and are located in the same vertical plane (the first vertical plane), with the first limiting rod 6 positioned above the second limiting rod 7. The rod 2 is located between the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7. When the rod 2 swings upward around the first hinge point 21, it is blocked by the first limiting rod 6; when it swings downward, it is blocked by the second limiting rod 7. By reasonably setting the positions of the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7, the rotation range of the rod 2 can be limited, preventing excessive overturning of the rod 2 due to excessive glass impact force. The first vertical plane is located between the first hinge point 21 and the counterweight 5, allowing the limiting rods to effectively limit the swing of the counterweight side.

[0021] The working process is as follows: In the initial state, the length of the telescopic rod 8 and the number of counterweights 51 are adjusted according to the glass specifications to make the rod 2 in a balanced state, and the rotating wheel 3 is located in the predetermined support position. The glass moves on the transmission line. If the glass deviates and touches the rotating wheel 3, the rotating wheel 3 is pressed, causing the rod 2 to rotate upward or downward around the first hinge point 21. The counterweight 5 moves in the opposite direction accordingly, thus buffering the resistance experienced by the glass. After the glass passes, the rod 2 automatically rotates back to the balance position under the gravity of the counterweight 5. If the impact force of the glass is too large, the rod 2 will be blocked when it swings to contact the first limit rod 6 or the second limit rod 7, preventing excessive swinging.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
