Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a feeding conveyor for glass processing. Background Technology

[0002] Glass processing conveyors are key equipment in glass production lines for the automated handling, positioning, and transmission of glass raw materials or semi-finished products. Their core functions are to improve feeding accuracy, reduce manual intervention, and ensure glass integrity. The glass is transported to a designated location via the conveyor for further processing. For example, a glass transfer and feeding system (publication number CN220466837U) includes a transfer mechanism and a frame, as well as a conveying mechanism and a rotating mechanism mounted on the frame. The transfer mechanism includes a feeding track and a glass transfer frame slidably connected to the feeding track. The rotating mechanism includes two rotating shafts hinged to the frame, perpendicular to the conveying rollers, with each shaft positioned below both ends of the conveying rollers. Multiple rotating arms are fixedly connected to the rotating shafts. The rotating arms of the two shafts are arranged in a one-to-one cross configuration, with two cross rotating arms positioned between adjacent conveying rollers. Each rotating arm is equipped with an adsorption component for adsorbing glass from the transfer mechanism. By coordinating the feeding track and the glass transfer frame, the distance between the glass on the transfer mechanism and the rotating structure can be set, ensuring a suitable relative position between the rotating arms and the glass surface, thus improving feeding efficiency. For example, an automatic feeding device for low-emissivity glass substrates, with announcement number CN221318311U, includes a base, a rotating shaft, gripping arms, a drive shaft, and a drive component. The device features a base with two mounting seats spaced apart along the length of the rotating shaft, protruding from the top surface of the base. Both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on a support. Multiple gripping arms are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted on each of the two mounting seats, with both ends connected to a transmission shaft. When the drive component rotates the drive shaft, both ends of the drive shaft synchronously rotate the rotating shaft, ensuring synchronized rotation. Furthermore, the forces on both ends of the rotating shaft are balanced, allowing the gripping arms on the drive shaft to swing synchronously, improving the stability of the gripping arms during gripping or placement. However, the aforementioned glass feeding device still has the following drawbacks in actual use: 1. When traditional feeding conveyors use negative pressure adsorption to transport glass, glass is a brittle material, and the contact between the equipment and the glass is mostly rigid. During the transportation process, the glass is easily damaged at the edges and corners or even broken due to the vibration and impact of the equipment. 2. Furthermore, glass surfaces are prone to adsorbing contaminants such as glass powder and debris during the conveying process, requiring additional cleaning procedures before subsequent processing, which affects production efficiency. Traditional feeding conveyors are not convenient for cleaning the glass surface.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, innovative designs are urgently needed based on existing glass processing conveyors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding conveyor for glass processing, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, that traditional glass is easily damaged at the edges and corners or even broken during the conveying process due to equipment vibration and impact, and that traditional feeding conveyors are inconvenient for cleaning the glass surface.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a feeding conveyor for glass processing, comprising a frame, a conveyor belt installed on the inner side of the frame, the conveyor belt being driven by a motor, and guide rollers being evenly spaced on the inner side of the conveyor belt; It also includes: a fixing box, which is disposed inside the conveyor belt, the side of the fixing box is fixed to the frame, and the guide roller is rotatably disposed inside the fixing box, and a vacuum device is installed on the side of the fixing box; and a cleaning mechanism, which is disposed above the conveyor belt and is used to clean the floating dust on the glass surface.

[0006] Preferably, the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with an adsorption mechanism, which is used to adsorb glass for conveying. The inner side of the conveyor belt slides against the top of the fixed box, and the length of the fixed box is less than the conveying length of the conveyor belt. Therefore, when the glass is conveyed to the rightmost end of the conveyor belt, it can be automatically de-adsorbed for the next processing.

[0007] Preferably, the adsorption mechanism includes fixed holes evenly spaced on the conveyor belt, and a fixed tube is provided on the conveyor belt outside the fixed holes. The disconnected parts of the fixed tube are connected by a connecting tube. The negative pressure gas in the fixed box can be transmitted to the fixed tube through the fixed holes, and then the glass is adsorbed by the negative pressure suction cup.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting tube is made of rubber and has a corrugated tube structure. A vacuum suction cup is provided at the top of the fixing tube. A movable plate is provided above the fixing hole, the fixing tube, the connecting tube, and the vacuum suction cup. Fixing rods are provided on both sides of the movable plate, and the fixing rods pass through the support frame. When the fixing rods slide on the support frame, they drive the movable plate to move synchronously.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed rod and the support frame are elastically slidably connected, and the support frame is fixed to the frame. The side of the movable plate is also fixed with a rack, and the rack and gear are meshed. Through the meshing transmission of the gear and rack, the fixed rod can be moved horizontally.

[0010] Preferably, the gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft, and the distribution range of the gear teeth is 1 / 2 of its circumference. The transmission shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor through a pulley mechanism. When the motor drives the conveyor belt, the transmission shaft can be rotated through the pulley mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, a suction fan is installed on the upper surface of the movable plate, and the movable plate has a hollow structure. The output end of the suction fan is connected to the feed hole through the movable plate, and the feed hole is evenly arranged on the lower surface of the movable plate. After the suction fan is running, it can suck up the dust that has been swept.

[0012] Preferably, cleaning brushes are provided on both sides of the movable plate, and the lowest point of the cleaning brush is the same as the highest point of the vacuum suction cup. Furthermore, the moving range of the movable plate is greater than the distance between the two sets of vacuum suction cups. Therefore, when the movable plate moves back and forth, it can thoroughly clean the dust adhering to the glass surface.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This glass processing feeding conveyor, by setting a bufferable structure between the adsorption mechanism and the conveyor belt, can avoid the rigid structure between the glass and the equipment, thereby preventing glass breakage caused by vibration generated during equipment operation. Furthermore, during the glass conveying process, it can clean the glass powder, debris, and other impurities adhering to its surface, preventing them from affecting subsequent processing. The specific details are as follows: 1. Since the length of the fixed box is less than the length of the conveyor belt, when the glass is conveyed to the far right, the vacuum suction cup above does not come into contact with the negative pressure in the fixed box. This releases the glass from the suction, making it easy to be conveyed to the next processing unit without having to frequently adjust the negative pressure in different vacuum suction cups. Furthermore, the vibrations generated by the equipment during the conveying process can be buffered by the connecting pipes of the corrugated pipe structure, preventing the vibrations from being directly transmitted to the glass and causing damage, thereby ensuring safety during the conveying process and significantly reducing the glass breakage rate and overturning accidents. 2. Through the meshing transmission of gears and racks, the fixed rod can be driven to slide on the support frame. When the gears are not meshed with the racks, the spring elasticity can drive the fixed rod to slide in the opposite direction. Therefore, during the glass conveying process, it can drive the movable plate above it to move back and forth. On the one hand, the cleaning brush sweeps away the debris on the glass surface, and on the other hand, the movement of the movable plate expands the dust collection range, allowing the debris on the glass surface to enter the interior of the movable plate through the feed hole. The glass surface cleaning is completed simultaneously during the conveying process, reducing subsequent processes. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1: To address the problems existing in the prior art, this example provides the following technical solution: a glass processing feeding conveyor, comprising a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed on the inner side of the frame 1, the conveyor belt 2 being driven by a motor, and guide rollers 3 evenly spaced on the inner side of the conveyor belt 2; further comprising: a fixed box 4, disposed on the inner side of the conveyor belt 2, the side of the fixed box 4 being fixed to the frame 1, the guide rollers 3 being rotatably disposed on the inner side of the fixed box 4, and a vacuum device being installed on the side of the fixed box 4; and a cleaning mechanism, disposed above the conveyor belt 2, used to clean dust from the glass surface.

[0018] When existing conveyor systems use negative pressure adsorption to transport glass, the glass, being a brittle material, is easily damaged by vibrations and impacts during transport, especially since the contact between the equipment and the glass is often rigid. This can lead to edge breakage or even shattering. Figures 1-5As shown, the surface of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with an adsorption mechanism, which is used to adsorb glass for conveying. The inner side of the conveyor belt 2 slides against the top of the fixed box 4, and the length of the fixed box 4 is less than the conveying length of the conveyor belt 2. The adsorption mechanism includes fixed holes 5 evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 2, and a fixed tube 6 is provided on the conveyor belt 2 outside the fixed holes 5. The disconnected part of the fixed tube 6 is connected by a connecting tube 7. The connecting tube 7 is made of rubber and has a corrugated structure. A vacuum suction cup 8 is provided on the top of the fixed tube 6, and the fixed holes 5, fixed tube 6, connecting tube 7 and vacuum suction cup 8 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. First, the glass to be conveyed is placed on the vacuum suction cup 8. When the vacuum suction cup 8... When pressure is detected, the external vacuum equipment is controlled to generate suction force, which is transmitted to the inside of the fixed box 4. When the vacuum suction cup 8 is conveyed above the fixed box 4, negative pressure gas is generated inside, which drives the glass to be conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. Since the length of the fixed box 4 is less than the length of the conveyor belt 2, when the glass is conveyed to the rightmost end, the upper vacuum suction cup 8 does not come into contact with the negative pressure in the fixed box 4. This releases the suction on the glass, making it easy to be conveyed to the next processing unit without frequently adjusting the negative pressure state in different vacuum suction cups 8. Furthermore, the vibration generated by the equipment during the conveying process can be buffered by the corrugated pipe structure connecting pipe 7, preventing the vibration from being directly transmitted to the glass and causing damage, thus ensuring the safety of the conveying process.

[0019] Example 2: Existing glass surfaces easily absorb contaminants such as glass powder and debris during transport, requiring additional cleaning processes before subsequent processing, thus affecting production efficiency. Traditional feeding conveyors are inconvenient for cleaning the glass surface. Therefore, this example uses the following technical solution: Figure 3 and Figures 6-8As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a movable plate 12 movably disposed above the conveyor belt 2, and fixed rods 13 are provided on both sides of the movable plate 12, with the fixed rods 13 passing through the support frame 14; the fixed rods 13 and the support frame 14 are elastically slidably connected, and the support frame 14 is fixed to the frame 1. A rack 11 is also fixed to the side of the movable plate 12, and the rack 11 and the gear 10 are meshed; the gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft 9, and the distribution range of the tooth blocks on the gear 10 is 1 / 2 of its circumference, and the transmission shaft 9 is connected to the output shaft of the motor through a pulley mechanism; a suction fan 15 is installed on the upper end face of the movable plate 12, and the movable plate 12 has a hollow structure, and the output end of the suction fan 15 is connected to the feed hole 16 through the movable plate 12, and the feed hole 16 is evenly distributed on the lower end face of the movable plate 12; both sides of the movable plate 12 are provided with A cleaning brush 17 is provided, with its lowest point matching the highest point of the vacuum suction cup 8. The movable plate 12 has a range of motion greater than the distance between the two sets of vacuum suction cups 8. When the motor drives the conveyor belt 2, the transmission shaft 9 can be rotated via the pulley mechanism, which in turn drives the gear 10 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the gear 10 and the rack 11, the fixed rod 13 can be driven to slide on the support frame 14. When the gear 10 is not meshing with the rack 11, the fixed rod 13 can be driven to slide in the opposite direction by the elasticity of the spring. Therefore, during the glass conveying process, the movable plate 12 above it can be driven to move back and forth. On the one hand, the cleaning brush 17 cleans the debris on the glass surface, and on the other hand, the movement of the movable plate 12 expands the dust collection range, allowing the debris on the glass surface to enter the interior of the movable plate 12 through the feed hole 16, thus achieving a cleaning effect for subsequent processing.
