The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0035] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] A manipulator for a glass engraving machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes an adjusting block 1, one side of the adjusting block 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 2, both sides of the bottom of the rotating plate 2 are provided with a cleaning mechanism 3, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a first torsion shaft 301, one side of the first torsion shaft 301 is provided with a connecting rod 302, one end of the connecting rod 302 is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate 304 through a second torsion shaft 303, and one side of the horizontal plate 304 is provided with a wiper plate 305. The setting of the cleaning mechanism 3 enables the manipulator to have an automatic cleaning function. With the coordinated effect of the rod 302, the second torque shaft 303, the horizontal plate 304 and the wiper plate 305, the cleaning mechanism 305 can effectively scrape off the moisture and stains on the glass surface, ensure the cleanliness of the glass surface, improve the quality of suction cup adsorption, reduce the tedious process of manual inspection, and improve work efficiency. Through the rotating connection design of the adjustment block 1 and the rotating plate 2, the manipulator can flexibly adjust its working angle and position to realize the taking and putting back of the glass, thereby improving the production rhythm and improving production efficiency.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The horizontal plate 304 is provided with a card slot 306 on both the upper and lower sides, and a first magnet 307 is provided on one side of the card slot 306. By providing the card slot 306 on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 304, a convenient installation and fixing position is provided for the wiper 305 or other auxiliary components, making the component replacement and maintenance of the cleaning mechanism 3 simpler and faster, and improving the maintainability of the manipulator. The first magnet 307 provided on one side of the card slot 306 can firmly adsorb and fix the wiper 305 through magnetic force.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first magnet 307 is attracted to the clamping rod 308 through the second magnet 309, the clamping rod 308 and the second magnet 309 are fixedly connected, one side of the clamping rod 308 is fixedly connected to the wiper 305, and the clamping rod 308 can be firmly fixed in the clamping groove 306 of the horizontal plate 304. This magnetic attraction method is not only simple in structure, but also has a strong fixing effect, which can effectively prevent the wiper 305 from loosening or falling off during operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the manipulator. Since one side of the clamping rod 308 is fixedly connected to the wiper 305, the operator only needs to pull out the clamping rod 308 to quickly install and disassemble the wiper 305, without the need for complicated adjustment or calibration, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are two first torque shafts 301, connecting rods 302 and second torque shafts 303, and the two first torque shafts 301, connecting rods 302 and second torque shafts 303 are arranged in a mirror structure along the long central axis of the horizontal plate 304, ensuring the stability and balance of the wiper blade 305 during the wiping process. The symmetrical design makes the two sides of the wiper blade 305 evenly stressed and not prone to deflection or distortion, thereby improving the wiping effect and cleaning quality. The mirror structure design also enhances the rigidity and durability of the entire cleaning mechanism 3, and reduces the risk of damage caused by uneven force.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4There are two groups of cleaning mechanisms 3, each group of cleaning mechanisms 3 includes two cleaning mechanisms 3, and the two groups of cleaning mechanisms 3 are arranged in a mirror structure along the long center line of the rotating plate 2, so that the manipulator can perform multi-point scraping operations simultaneously when cleaning the glass surface, which improves the cleaning efficiency and shortens the cleaning time, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire glass carving process. The two groups of cleaning mechanisms 3 are arranged in a mirror structure along the long center line of the rotating plate 2, ensuring the balance and stability of the manipulator during the cleaning process.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A glass suction cup 4 is provided on one side of the cleaning mechanism 3, and one side of the glass suction cup 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 2. The glass suction cup 4 can firmly fix the glass through its strong adsorption force to prevent the glass from slipping during the movement, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the manipulator and improving the accuracy and safety of the handling operation. One side of the glass suction cup 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 2, so that the glass suction cup 4 can flexibly adjust its position as the rotating plate 2 rotates, thereby firmly grasping the glass at different positions.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The glass suction cup 4 is connected to the external air source through the air pipe 5. The glass suction cup 4 is connected to the external air source through the air pipe 5, so that the adsorption operation of the suction cup can be achieved by controlling the external air source, so that the operator can easily and accurately control the adsorption force of the suction cup, adjust the adsorption force according to the size and weight of the glass, and ensure the stable fixation of the glass. Through the connection between the air pipe 5 and the external air source, the adsorption and release operations of the glass suction cup 4 can be faster and more efficient, and the reaction sensitivity of the suction cup is improved.

The cooperation between the fixed shell 7 and the adjusting block 1 makes the entire structure more stable and reduces the shaking or deformation that may occur during the adjustment and working process.

[0045] The implementation principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the air rod 6 contracts to drive the rotating plate 2 to rotate, and then the external driving mechanism drives the fixed shell 7, the adjusting block 1 and the rotating plate 2 to move forward, so that the cleaning mechanism 3 can contact the glass surface. At this time, as the fixed shell 7, the adjusting block 1 and the rotating plate 2 move forward, the wiper plate 305 is pressed to one side to scrape the water on the glass surface.

Then the air pipe 5 is evacuated to generate a vacuum, and the glass is sucked and transported.

[0046] When the glass is placed at the designated position, the first torsion shaft 301 and the second torsion shaft 303 drive the wiper plate 305 and the horizontal plate 304 to reset and return to the initial state, ready for the next scraping.
