Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass transfer technology, specifically to an irregularly shaped glass transfer rack. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the most widely used forms of irregularly shaped glass, fan-shaped glass has played an increasingly important role in various industrial and design fields in recent years. With the pursuit of streamlined and curved shapes in modern architectural aesthetics and industrial products, fan-shaped glass is extensively used in high-end architectural decoration (such as spiral staircase railings, curved corner curtain walls, and artistic domes), custom furniture and commercial display cases, as well as porthole designs for some special vehicles and ships. It breaks the rigid boundaries of traditional rectangular glass, giving spaces and products a softer and more dynamic visual expression.
[0003] Fan-shaped glass has unique curved edges, non-right-angled boundaries, and uneven center of gravity distribution. Traditional glass transfer racks are mostly designed for regular rectangular glass, usually using flat bases or simple rigid clamps. When fan-shaped glass is placed on conventional equipment, due to the lack of a dedicated clamping structure that fits its surface, the glass is very prone to sliding, deflecting, or tipping over during movement. If strong clamping is used, the glass is easily crushed due to local stress concentration.
[0004] Secondly, hard collisions are very likely to occur during loading, unloading, and process handover. Glass itself is a fragile product, and the sharp corners and rounded edges of fan-shaped glass are particularly vulnerable. In traditional loading and unloading or equipment handover processes, due to the lack of a dynamic flexible buffer mechanism, the bottom of the glass often comes into hard contact with the metal support platform. Especially at the moment of batch unloading or mechanical release, even a small drop difference can cause the glass edge to chip or crack. In addition, relying on manual adjustment and alignment of the glass position is not only inefficient, but also increases the risk of scratching the glass surface. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an irregularly shaped glass transfer rack, which solves the problems that traditional transfer equipment easily causes glass to slip, deflect, be crushed by stress, or chip at the edges when handling fan-shaped glass and during loading and unloading.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an irregularly shaped glass transfer rack, comprising:
[0007] Shock-absorbing wheel frame, used for shock-absorbing support of irregularly shaped glass transfer rack structures;
[0008] The opposing support frame is located on the shock-absorbing wheel frame and is used to suspend the multi-station transfer structure that supports the fan-shaped glass.
[0009] The limiting top plate is located on the opposing support frame and is used to form a trajectory-type limiting and pushing structure;
[0010] The annular multi-station frame is located on the opposing support frame, and works with the output motor element of the opposing support frame to fix multiple fan-shaped glass transfer structures in a circumferential manner.
[0011] The sector-shaped limiting mechanism is located on the annular multi-station frame and is used to form parallel sector-shaped glass bearing areas and fix the bearing structure.
[0012] The single-sided clamping mechanism is located on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism, and works with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate, the fan-shaped groove of the fan-shaped frame, the central guide cylinder, the embedded partition groove and the stationary guide ring to form an array-type fan-shaped glass one-sided clamping structure.
[0013] The single-sided bearing mechanism is located on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism, and works with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate, the fan-shaped frame, the central guide tube, the embedded partition groove, the semi-circular guide shaft, the contact groove of the fan-shaped groove plate, and the side push shaft to form an array-type clamping structure on the other side of the fan-shaped glass.
[0014] The loading and unloading synchronization mechanism is located on the shock-absorbing wheel frame, and works with the fan-shaped groove plate and the fan-shaped convex plate to form a parallel loading and unloading structure for fan-shaped glass.
[0015] Preferably, the opposing support frame is fixed to the top of the shock-absorbing wheel frame, while the limiting top plate is relatively fixed to the inner side of the opposing support frame. The arc-shaped convex rails are distributed on the edge of the limiting top plate, and the break point of the arc-shaped convex rails is located at its bottom. The annular multi-station frame rotates along the inner side of the opposing support frame. The fan-shaped limiting mechanism is circumferentially fixed on the annular multi-station frame. The single-sided pressing mechanism and the single-sided bearing mechanism are distributed on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism in an alternating and fitting manner, while the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism slides along the bottom of the opposing support frame.
[0016] Preferably, the sector-shaped limiting mechanism includes a sector-shaped frame, which is circumferentially fixed inside the annular multi-station frame, and a sector-shaped groove is provided on the sector-shaped frame and faces outward. The central guide cylinder is fixed at the center of the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame, and the embedded partition grooves are equidistantly distributed on the side wall of the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame.
[0017] Preferably, the single-sided pressing mechanism includes a semi-circular guide shaft, which is semi-circular in structure and is embedded in the central guide cylinder for displacement. Sector-shaped groove plates are evenly distributed on the outside of the semi-circular guide shaft, and the sector-shaped groove plates pass through the embedded partition groove into the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame. The contact groove is located on the inner side of the sector-shaped groove plate, and the contact groove is made of flexible rubber material, corresponding to the shape of the sector-shaped glass. The side push shaft is fixed to one end of the semi-circular guide shaft and passes through the annular multi-station frame, while simultaneously contacting the arc-shaped convex rail of the one-sided limiting top plate.
[0018] Preferably, the single-sided bearing mechanism includes a second semi-circular guide shaft. The second semi-circular guide shaft has a semi-circular structure and is embedded in the central guide cylinder for displacement. It is in contact with the first semi-circular guide shaft, which also has a semi-circular structure. The outer side of the second semi-circular guide shaft is provided with fan-shaped protrusions at equal intervals. The fan-shaped protrusions pass through the embedded partition groove into the fan-shaped groove of the fan-shaped frame. The inner side of the fan-shaped protrusions is provided with fan-shaped protrusions. The fan-shaped protrusions are made of flexible rubber material and correspond to the shape of the fan-shaped glass. The contact grooves of the fan-shaped protrusions of the multiple fan-shaped protrusions and the fan-shaped groove plates are distributed opposite to each other. One end of the second semi-circular guide shaft is fixed with a second side push shaft, which is located on the other side of the first side push shaft. The first side push shaft passes through the annular multi-station frame and is in contact with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate on the other side.
[0019] Preferably, the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism includes a material-bearing platform, which slides along the bottom of the opposing support frame and is positioned below the annular multi-station frame. Fixed limiting slot frames are evenly distributed on the top of the material-bearing platform, and the limiting slot frames correspond to the number and position of the embedded partition slots configured for a single fan-shaped frame. A receiving arc chamber is embedded and slidably inserted in the center of the limiting slot frame.
[0020] Preferably, the stationary guide rings are embedded and fixed within the fan-shaped frame.
[0021] Preferably, a limiting top ring is fixed to the surface of the semi-circular guide shaft, and a reset snap ring structure is connected between the limiting top ring and the stationary guide ring.
[0022] Preferably, a limiting top ring is fixed to the surface of the semi-circular guide shaft II, and a reset snap ring structure is connected between the limiting top ring II and the stationary guide ring.
[0023] Preferably, a retaining spring structure is used to connect the receiving arc chamber and the bottom wall of the limiting groove frame.
[0024] This invention provides an irregularly shaped glass transfer rack. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. When the equipment of the present invention picks up glass, it does not require manual clamping of each piece. When the ring frame rotates to the bottom, the clamping mechanism will actively press down and lift the receiving arc chamber of the glass, allowing the glass to naturally enter the clamping area. The entire handover process is completed by the equipment itself using the time difference of vertical displacement, which saves workers the trouble of manually adjusting or aligning and lowers the operating threshold.
[0026] 2. During the upward rotation of the equipment carrying the glass, the invention relies on the increasingly thicker arc-shaped convex rails on both sides to forcefully squeeze the clamps towards the center, thereby clamping the glass. This purely mechanical rail compression method is reliable. As long as the rotation continues, the clamping force remains, so there is no need to worry about the pneumatic or electric clamps suddenly losing power and releasing, causing the glass to fall. At the same time, the parts of the clamps that contact the glass are covered with flexible rubber, which can increase friction to prevent slippage and will absolutely not scratch the glass surface.
[0027] 3. The ring-shaped multi-station frame of the equipment of the present invention is like a Ferris wheel. As the motor rotates continuously, the empty clamp comes down to receive the material. After it is full, it rotates up, and the next empty clamp comes down to receive the material. This assembly line-style cyclic action is suitable for the continuous transfer of multiple pieces of fan-shaped glass in the same batch, which greatly saves the time of workers to carry back and forth.

Detailed Implementation
[0042] The technical solutions in 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.
[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This invention provides an irregularly shaped glass transfer frame, including: a shock-absorbing wheel frame 1, used for shock-absorbing support of the irregularly shaped glass transfer frame structure;
[0044] The opposing support frame 2 is located on the shock-absorbing wheel frame 1 and is used to suspend the multi-station transfer structure that supports the fan-shaped glass. The opposing support frame 2 is fixed to the top of the shock-absorbing wheel frame 1. The opposing support frame 2 provides a suspension support structure for the multi-station structure above and at the same time constrains the movement trajectory of the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8. When the operator pushes or pulls the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8, the opposing support frame 2 forces the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8 to move along its bottom trajectory, guiding the fan-shaped glass into the designated working area.
[0045] The limiting top plate 3 is located on the opposing support frame 2 and is used to form a trajectory-type limiting and pushing structure. The limiting top plate 3 is relatively fixed on the inner side of the opposing support frame 2, and the arc-shaped convex rails are distributed on the edge of the limiting top plate 3. The break point of the arc-shaped convex rails is located at its bottom. The limiting top plate 3 applies a limiting pushing force to the contacting displacement mechanism through the arc-shaped convex rails on its edge. When the associated mechanism slides along the arc-shaped convex rails, the gradually increasing thickness profile of the arc-shaped convex rails will generate a continuous lateral pushing force, forcing a lateral contraction displacement to occur inward. When it reaches the lowest point, it enters the break point area at the bottom of the arc-shaped convex rails. The appearance of the break point structure releases the lateral squeezing pushing force.
[0046] The annular multi-station frame 4 is located on the opposing support frame 2. It works with the output motor element of the opposing support frame 2 to fix multiple fan-shaped glass transfer structures in a circular form. The annular multi-station frame 4 rotates along the inner side of the opposing support frame 2. During the continuous rotation, the annular multi-station frame 4 drives the multiple fan-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 installed on itself to perform circumferential displacement in space.
[0047] Please see the appendix Figure 4 -Appendix Figure 8 The fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5 is located on the annular multi-station frame 4 and is used to form a parallel fan-shaped glass bearing area and fix the bearing structure. The fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5 is fixed on the annular multi-station frame 4 in a circumferential distribution.
[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 7 -Appendix Figure 8 The sector-shaped limiting mechanism 5 includes a sector-shaped frame 51, which is circumferentially fixed inside the annular multi-station frame 4. The sector-shaped groove is set on the sector-shaped frame 51 and faces outward. The central guide cylinder 52 is fixed in the center of the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame 51, and the embedded partition grooves 53 are equidistantly distributed on the side wall of the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame 51. The sector-shaped frame 51 uses the central guide cylinder 52 at its center to constrain the movement trajectory of the internal shaft. When subjected to external thrust, the semi-circular guide shaft 61 and the semi-circular guide shaft 71 can only slide relative to each other in a straight line along the central surface inside the central guide cylinder 52. The embedded partition grooves 53 of the sector-shaped frame 51 apply guiding constraints to the sector-shaped groove plate 62 and the sector-shaped protrusion plate 72. When the guide shaft is displaced, the embedded partition grooves 53 force the sector-shaped groove plate 62 and the sector-shaped protrusion plate 72 to pass into the sector-shaped groove along a specific trajectory, ensuring that each clamping plate is displaced inward.
[0049] Please see the appendix Figure 8 The stationary guide rings 54 are distributed and embedded in the fan-shaped frame 51. When the single-sided pressing mechanism 6 and the single-sided bearing mechanism 7 are displaced under the action of external thrust, their respective limiting top rings contact the stationary guide rings 54. The stationary guide rings 54 cause the reset snap ring structure to compress and store force between the limiting top rings and the stationary guide rings 54.
[0050] Please see the appendix Figure 6 -Appendix Figure 11 The single-sided pressing mechanism 6 is located on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5, and works with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3, the fan-shaped groove of the fan-shaped frame 51, the central guide tube 52, the embedded partition groove 53 and the stationary guide ring 54 to form an array-type fan-shaped glass one-sided clamping structure. The single-sided pressing mechanism 6 and the single-sided bearing mechanism 7 are distributed on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5 in an alternating and fitting manner.
[0051] Please see the appendix Figure 9The single-sided pressing mechanism 6 includes a semi-circular guide shaft 61, which is semi-circular in structure and is embedded in the central guide cylinder 52 for displacement. Sector-shaped groove plates 62 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the semi-circular guide shaft 61, and the sector-shaped groove plates 62 pass through the embedded partition groove 53 into the sector-shaped groove of the sector-shaped frame 51. Contact grooves are located on the inner side of the sector-shaped groove plates 62, and the contact grooves are made of flexible rubber material corresponding to the shape of the sector-shaped glass. A side push shaft 63 is fixed to one end of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 and extends out through the annular multi-station frame 4. At the same time, the side push shaft 63, which is in contact with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3 on one side, converts the reverse push of the convex rail into a lateral thrust during the entire operating cycle of sliding in contact with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3. This causes the semi-circular guide shaft 61 to undergo linear sliding displacement in the central guide cylinder 52. The axial displacement of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 forcibly pulls the fan-shaped groove plate 62 inward along the embedded partition groove 53. The contact groove on the inner side of the fan-shaped groove plate 62 then approaches the surface of the fan-shaped glass, adhering to the surface of the fan-shaped glass. The rubber is used to apply a flexible constraint space to the glass.
[0052] Please see the appendix Figure 9 A limiting top ring 64 is fixed on the surface of the semi-circular guide shaft 61, and a reset snap ring structure is connected between the limiting top ring 64 and the stationary guide ring 54. When the side push shaft 63 slides into the break point of the convex rail and the lateral thrust disappears, the reset snap ring structure quickly releases the stored mechanical energy and strongly pushes the limiting top ring 64 back, thereby driving the semi-circular guide shaft 61 and the fan-shaped groove plate 62 to slide back outward instantly, realizing the release of the pressing state.
[0053] Please see the appendix Figure 6 -Appendix Figure 12 The single-sided bearing mechanism 7 is located on the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5, and works with the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3, the fan-shaped frame 51, the central guide tube 52, the embedded partition groove 53, the semi-circular guide shaft 61, the contact groove of the fan-shaped groove plate 62, and the side push shaft 63 to form an array-type clamping structure on the other side of the fan-shaped glass.
[0054] Please see the appendix Figure 10The single-sided bearing mechanism 7 includes a second semi-circular guide shaft 71, which is semi-circular in structure and is embedded in the central guide cylinder 52 for displacement. It is also in contact with a first semi-circular guide shaft 61, which is also semi-circular in structure. Fan-shaped protrusions 72 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the second semi-circular guide shaft 71. The fan-shaped protrusions 72 pass through the embedded partition groove 53 into the fan-shaped groove of the fan-shaped frame 51. Fan-shaped protrusions are provided on the inner side of the fan-shaped protrusions 72. These protrusions are made of flexible rubber and correspond to the shape of a fan-shaped glass. The fan-shaped protrusions of the multiple fan-shaped protrusions 72 are distributed opposite to the contact grooves of the fan-shaped groove plate 62. One end of the second semi-circular guide shaft 71 is fixed with a second side push shaft 73, which is positioned for side push. On the other side of shaft 63, the side push shaft 63 passes through the annular multi-station frame 4 and simultaneously contacts the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3 on the other side. The side push shaft 73 is squeezed by the arc-shaped convex rail on the other side, generating a reverse lateral displacement. It pulls the semi-circular guide shaft 71 to slide in a close-fitting relative staggered manner with the flat surface of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 in the central guide cylinder 52. The displacement of the semi-circular guide shaft 71 synchronously pulls the fan-shaped convex plate 72 to slide inward along the embedded partition groove 53. The flexible rubber fan-shaped protrusion on the inner side of the fan-shaped convex plate 72 continuously applies pressure to the other side surface of the glass. The flexible rubber of the fan-shaped protrusion adheres to the glass and applies bidirectional pressure to the fan-shaped groove plate 62, clamping the fan-shaped glass in the mid-air area.
[0055] Please see the appendix Figure 10 A limiting top ring 74 is fixed on the surface of the semi-circular guide shaft 71, and a reset snap ring structure is connected between the limiting top ring 74 and the stationary guide ring 54. When the limiting top ring 74 approaches the stationary guide ring 54, it compresses the reset snap ring structure between the two, causing the reset snap ring structure to compress and store force under the pressure. The retraction of the limiting top ring 74 causes the semi-circular guide shaft 71 and the fan-shaped protrusion 72 to be forcibly pulled back to their original positions.
[0056] Please see the appendix Figure 13 The loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8 is located on the shock-absorbing wheel frame 1, and works with the fan-shaped groove plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusion plate 72 to form a parallel loading and unloading structure for the fan-shaped glass. The loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8 slides along the bottom of the opposing support frame 2.
[0057] Please see the appendix Figure 13The loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8 includes a carrying platform 81, which slides along the bottom of the opposing carrying frame 2 and is positioned below the annular multi-station frame 4. Fixed limiting slots 82 are evenly distributed on the top of the carrying platform 81, and the limiting slots 82 correspond to the number and position of the embedded partition slots 53 configured for each individual sector-shaped component frame 51. A receiving arc chamber 83 is embedded and slidably inserted in the center of the limiting slot 82. After the carrying platform 81 is slid into place, the limiting slot 82 on its top is precisely aligned with the sector-shaped component frame 51 pressing down above. When the sector-shaped slot plate 62 and the sector-shaped protrusion plate 72 push down, the receiving arc chamber 83 embedded in the limiting slot 82 bears the downward external force and is forced to slide downward in the slot. The sinking of the receiving arc chamber 83 causes the bottom of the originally placed sector-shaped glass to be suspended in the air and completely detached from the support of the receiving arc chamber 83.
[0058] Please see the appendix Figure 13 A retaining spring structure is connected between the receiving arc chamber 83 and the bottom wall of the limiting groove frame 82. The retaining spring structure is responsible for guiding the lifting and ejection of the receiving arc chamber. During the loading and pressing stage, the retaining spring structure is compressed by the downward pressure of the receiving arc chamber 83, freeing up the clamping space and accumulating rebound force. During the unloading stage, the upper clamping component slides outward and releases, and the pushing pressure completely disappears.
[0059] Based on the above technical solution, this embodiment of the invention also provides a working principle of an irregularly shaped glass transfer rack, including the following: When multiple batches of fan-shaped glass need to be transferred synchronously, the operator first applies a pushing and pulling directional force to the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8, causing the load-bearing platform 81 included in the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8 to slide horizontally along the bottom trajectory of the opposing load-bearing frame 2, pulling the load-bearing platform 81 outward from the inner area of the opposing load-bearing frame 2. As the load-bearing platform 81 slides out, the operator places the fan-shaped glass to be transferred one by one into the equidistantly distributed limiting slots 82 on the top of the load-bearing platform 81. At this time, the bottom edge of the fan-shaped glass will be directly aligned with the sliding receiving arc chamber 83 embedded in the center of the limiting slot 82. Upon contact, the weight of the fan-shaped glass acts on the receiving arc chamber 83, causing it to exert downward pressure within the internal space of the limiting slot frame 82. This pressure compresses the retaining spring structure between the receiving arc chamber 83 and the limiting slot frame 82. The retaining spring structure then elastically stores force, and the receiving arc chamber 83, supported by the retaining spring structure, smoothly lifts the fan-shaped glass into the limiting slot frame 82, completing the initial loading arrangement. After loading the fan-shaped glass, the operator pushes the carrying platform 81 again, causing it to carry all the limiting slot frames 82 and receiving arc chambers 83 loaded with fan-shaped glass, and slide inward along the bottom trajectory of the opposing carrying frame 2 until the carrying platform 81 is fully inserted and stops at the front of the annular multi-station frame 4. In the lower region, the fan-shaped glass in the limiting slot 82 is positioned directly below the annular multi-station frame 4. Subsequently, the output motor of the opposing support frame 2 is activated, causing the annular multi-station frame 4 to begin rotating circumferentially along the inner guide track of the opposing support frame 2. Multiple fan-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 follow the rotation trajectory of the annular multi-station frame 4, undergoing circumferential displacement. A certain group of fan-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 gradually approaches the lowest point of the annular multi-station frame 4, and the fan-shaped component frame 51 included in this group of limiting mechanisms 5 also moves downwards. When this group of limiting mechanisms 5 rotates to its lowest position, the bottom structure of its single-sided pressing mechanism 6 and single-sided support mechanism 7 begins to contact the loading / unloading synchronization mechanism 8, which is stationary directly below. The single-sided pressing... In mechanism 6, the fan-shaped groove plates 62 evenly distributed on the outer side of the semicircular guide shaft 61, and the fan-shaped protruding plates 72 evenly distributed on the outer side of the semicircular guide shaft 71 in single-sided bearing mechanism 7, will precisely align and insert themselves above the limiting groove frame 82 at the top of the bearing platform 81 as the fan-shaped frame 51 presses down. The lower edges of the fan-shaped groove plates 62 and fan-shaped protruding plates 72 directly contact the top edge of the receiving arc chamber 83 supporting the fan-shaped glass. The fan-shaped groove plates 62 and fan-shaped protruding plates 72 forcefully push downwards against the receiving arc chamber 83. The receiving arc chamber 83, subjected to the upward pushing force, overcomes the supporting force of the retaining spring structure between itself and the bottom wall of the limiting groove frame 82, and further slides downwards within the internal space of the limiting groove frame 82, causing the retaining spring structure to be further compressed.The fan-shaped glass, originally supported by the receiving arc chamber 83, remains in its original position and thus detaches from the downward-moving receiving arc chamber 83. The fan-shaped glass, now detached from the receiving arc chamber 83, smoothly enters the space between the single-sided pressing mechanism 6 and the single-sided bearing mechanism 7, which are now in an open state. That is, the fan-shaped glass is completely within the gap of the multi-station parallel stable area formed by the fan-shaped groove plate 62 and the fan-shaped convex plate 72. The annular multi-station frame 4 continues to rotate. The side push shaft 63 at the end of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 and the side push shaft 73 at the end of the semi-circular guide shaft 71 begin to contact the arc-shaped convex rails distributed along the edge of the limiting top plate 3. Since the arc-shaped convex rails of the limiting top plate 3 have a break at their bottom, as the side push shaft 63 and the side push shaft 73 move along with the fan-shaped structure... As the frame 51 detaches from the bottom breakpoint area and slides along the upward trajectory of the arc-shaped convex rail, the gradually increasing thickness of the arc-shaped convex rail exerts an inward squeezing force on the side push shaft 63 and the side push shaft 73. Under the squeezing force of the arc-shaped convex rail on one side of the limiting top plate 3, the side push shaft 63 is forced to move axially towards the center of the fan-shaped frame 51. The displacement of the side push shaft 63 directly drives the semi-circular guide shaft 61 to move axially in sync. Since the semi-circular guide shaft 61 has a semi-circular structure, its flat surface moves in contact with the center surface inside the central guide cylinder 52 during sliding. The sliding displacement of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 further pulls the fan-shaped groove plates 62 that are equidistantly distributed on its outer side, causing multiple fan-shaped groove plates 62 to move along the side wall of the fan-shaped groove of the fan-shaped frame 51. The semicircular guide shaft 61 slides inward into the partition groove 53, while the axial displacement of the semicircular guide shaft 61 causes the limiting top ring 64 on its surface to press against the stationary guide ring 54. This causes the reset spring structure connecting the limiting top ring 64 and the stationary guide ring 54 to be compressed and deformed. Meanwhile, the arc-shaped convex rail on the other side of the limiting top plate 3 applies a reverse compressive force to the side push shaft 73 on the other side, causing the side push shaft 73 to move axially in the opposite direction towards the center of the fan-shaped frame 51. The displacement of the side push shaft 73 causes the semicircular guide shaft 71 connected to it to slide linearly in the opposite direction to the semicircular guide shaft 61 inside the central guide cylinder 52. The semicircular guide shaft 71 is also a semicircular structure, and its flat surface is flat with that of the semicircular guide shaft 61. The surfaces slide interlockingly inside the central guide cylinder 52. The reverse sliding displacement of the semicircular guide shaft 71 pulls the equidistantly distributed fan-shaped protrusions 72 on its outer side, causing multiple fan-shaped protrusions 72 to slide along the corresponding embedded partition grooves 53 to the other side. The axial displacement of the semicircular guide shaft 71 also simultaneously drives the limiting top ring 74 on its surface to press towards the stationary guide ring 54, causing the reset spring structure connecting the limiting top ring 74 and the stationary guide ring 54 to be compressed and deformed. As the fan-shaped groove plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusions 72 slide interlockingly in the embedded partition grooves 53, the contact groove with flexible rubber material on the inner side of the fan-shaped groove plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusions with flexible rubber material on the inner side of the fan-shaped protrusions 72...The flexible rubber material of the contact groove is attached to one side of the fan-shaped glass, while the flexible rubber material of the fan-shaped protrusion is attached to and presses against the other side of the fan-shaped glass. The two are clamped by the opposing thrust of the arc-shaped convex rail, which firmly stabilizes the fan-shaped glass suspended above the bearing platform 81 between the single-sided pressing mechanism 6 and the single-sided bearing mechanism 7 by clamping it from both sides. After clamping is completed, the annular multi-station frame 4 continues to rotate and move in a circular motion along the inner side of the opposing bearing frame 2 under the continuous drive of the output motor element. The fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5 that clamps the fan-shaped glass continues to climb higher and pass the top trajectory along with the annular multi-station frame 4. During the entire rotational displacement cycle, the side push shaft 1 63 and the side push shaft 2 73 are always tightly attached to the limiting mechanism. The top plate 3 slides on the arc-shaped convex rail surface. The continuous trajectory of the arc-shaped convex rail ensures that the lateral thrust of the opposite push shaft 63 and the second push shaft 73 is continuous. The semi-circular guide shaft 61 and the second semi-circular guide shaft 71 remain at their axial displacement limit positions close to each other. The reset spring structure remains in a compressed and stored state, allowing the fan-shaped glass to make stable transfer displacement in the air with the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5. During the rotation of the annular multi-station frame 4, when the external environment or equipment operation causes vibration, the vibration force is transmitted to the shock-absorbing wheel frame 1 at the bottom for buffering, ensuring the stable displacement state of the opposing bearing frame 2 and the annular multi-station frame 4 and the fan-shaped glass running on it. As the first set of fan-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 carries the fan-shaped glass up and away from the bottom area... The next set of empty sector-shaped limiting mechanisms 5, carried by the annular multi-station frame 4, gradually descends through circumferential displacement to clamp and load a new batch of newly added or remaining sector-shaped glass on the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8. This continues until all sector-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 clamp the corresponding sector-shaped glass. When all sector-shaped glass has completed the transfer process and needs to be unloaded, the operator drives the output motor again to control the annular multi-station frame 4 to move circumferentially along the opposing support frame 2. This causes the sector-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 loading the sector-shaped glass to gradually move from a high trajectory to the lowest bottom area. As this set of sector-shaped limiting mechanisms 5 approaches the lowest point, the side push shaft 1 63 and the side push shaft 2 73 slide downwards on the arc-shaped convex rail surface of the limiting top plate 3. At the instant the limiting mechanism 5 reaches the bottom, the side push shaft 63 and the side push shaft 73 slide to the break point at the bottom of the arc-shaped convex rail of the limiting top plate 3. At this time, the squeezing force applied by the arc-shaped convex rail to the side push shaft 63 and the side push shaft 73 is released, and the reset spring structure, which was originally in a compressed state, releases its elasticity. The reset spring structure of the stationary guide ring 54 pushes the limiting top ring 64 and the limiting top ring 74 outward respectively. The limiting top ring 64 is pushed outward, which drives the semi-circular guide shaft 61 to reset outward inside the central guide cylinder 52. The outward sliding of the semi-circular guide shaft 61 further pushes the side push shaft 63 outward, while simultaneously pulling the fan-shaped groove plate 62 to slide outward along the embedded partition groove 53. The limiting top ring 74 is pushed outward.The semi-circular guide shaft 71 is driven to retract and reset in another direction inside the central guide cylinder 52. The outward sliding of the semi-circular guide shaft 71 resets the side push shaft 73 outward and pulls the fan-shaped protrusion 72 to slide back outward along the embedded partition groove 53. The fan-shaped groove plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusion 72 are simultaneously reset outward on both sides of the central guide cylinder 52, causing the contact groove on the inner side of the fan-shaped groove plate 62 to separate from the fan-shaped protrusion on the inner side of the fan-shaped protrusion 72. The contact groove originally applied to the fan-shaped protrusion is now separated from the fan-shaped protrusion on the inner side of the fan-shaped protrusion 72. As the flexible compression on both sides of the shaped glass disappears and the clamping is released, the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5, being located directly above the low point of the loading / unloading synchronization mechanism 8, causes the clamped fan-shaped glass to fall under gravity. Meanwhile, inside the limiting slot 82 on the corresponding position of the material-bearing platform 81, the receiving arc chamber 83, which was originally pushed downwards by the fan-shaped slot plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusion 72, releases its pushing pressure due to the sliding of the fan-shaped slot plate 62 and the fan-shaped protrusion 72 to the sides, allowing the receiving... The spring clip structure, which was under compression between the arc chamber 83 and the bottom wall of the limiting slot frame 82, instantly releases its elasticity, forcefully pushing the receiving arc chamber 83 upward. Under the action of the spring clip structure, the receiving arc chamber 83 slides upward rapidly along the inside of the limiting slot frame 82 and pops out, just catching the bottom of the descending fan-shaped glass. The receiving arc chamber 83, through its concave arc structure and the flexible supporting force of the spring clip structure, steadily lifts the fan-shaped glass inside the limiting slot frame 82. After all the fan-shaped glass in the fan-shaped limiting mechanism 5 has been steadily transferred to the lifting range of the receiving arc chamber 83, the operator applies an outward pulling force to the loading and unloading synchronization mechanism 8, causing the supporting platform 81 to slide along the opposing supporting frame 2, carrying the limiting slot frame 82 fully loaded with fan-shaped glass, and steadily pull it out from the area directly below the annular multi-station frame 4 to the external working space. Then, the operator removes the fan-shaped glass one by one from the limiting slot frame 82, thus completing the unloading of this batch of fan-shaped glass, and the equipment returns to standby mode.
