[0024] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Therefore, the manual positioning of glass in the prior art is prone to inaccurate positioning. The present application provides a furnace front positioning device and system, which forms a glass positioning and adjustment device with automatic functions by setting a control mechanism, a transmission mechanism and a telescopic adjustment mechanism, so as to realize the positioning and adjustment of the glass in the furnace in an automatic manner, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0026] The present application takes the application scenario of automobile glass production as an example to introduce the structure of the furnace front positioning device and system and its usage. The furnace front positioning device provided in the present application is not only applicable to automobile glass production, but also applicable to other application scenarios of products with positioning requirements, specifically:

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A furnace front positioning system includes a furnace front positioning device 1 and a hot furnace 2; the hot furnace 2 includes transport rollers 21 arranged at intervals; and a positioning member 14 of the furnace front positioning device 1 is arranged between two transport rollers 21. When the glass 3 is transported on the transport rollers 21, the positioning adjustment of the glass 3 on the transport rollers 21 is achieved by adjusting the spacing between the positioning member 14 and the hot furnace 2.

[0028] In some embodiments, a detection mechanism is also included, which is arranged on the hot furnace 2 or the positioning device 1 in front of the furnace; the detection mechanism is used to detect the position of the product and generate adjustment parameters; the detection mechanism is connected to the control mechanism 11 and transmits the adjustment parameters to the control mechanism 11. The detection mechanism can detect the position information of the glass 3 in the hot furnace 2, and generate corresponding adjustment parameters according to the position information, so as to further realize the automatic adjustment of the position of the positioning member 14 through the control mechanism 11.

[0029] The furnace front positioning device 1 includes a control mechanism 11, a transmission mechanism 12 and a telescopic adjustment mechanism 13; the control mechanism 11 is used to receive adjustment parameters and output a control signal according to the adjustment parameters so that the transmission mechanism 12 operates according to the control signal; the transmission mechanism 12 is connected to one end of the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 and controls the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 to perform telescopic movement; the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 is provided with a positioning member 14 at one end away from the transmission mechanism 12, and the positioning member 14 is used to abut against the product. After the control mechanism 11 receives the adjustment parameters for adjusting the position of the glass 3, the transmission mechanism 12 is controlled to drive the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 to perform telescopic movement, thereby adjusting the distance between the positioning member 14 and the hot furnace 2, and adjusting the position of the glass 3 in the glass hot furnace 2, thereby avoiding positioning the glass 3 by naked eye observation, resulting in inaccurate positioning, and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0030] In some embodiments, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 includes a linkage transmission member 131 and a fixing member 132; the transmission end of the linkage transmission member 131 is connected to the transmission mechanism 12; the delivery end of the linkage transmission member 131 is connected to one end of the fixing member 132; and the end of the fixing member 132 away from the linkage transmission member 131 is connected to the positioning member 14. That is, the linkage transmission member 131 can be driven by the transmission mechanism 12 to perform telescopic movement, thereby driving the fixing member 132 and the positioning member 14 to position the glass 3; at the same time, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 is composed of the linkage transmission member 131 and the fixing member 132, so that different types of linkage transmission members 131 can be configured according to different transmission requirements to achieve the telescopic adjustment function.

[0031] For example, in an optional embodiment, the linkage transmission member 131 includes a slide rail 1311 and a slider 1312 slidably connected to the slide rail 1311; the slide rail 1311 is disposed on the fixed platform 15; the slider 1312 is disposed on a side of the fixed member 132 close to the fixed platform 15, and the slider 1312 is connected to the transmission mechanism 12; the position of the positioning member 14 is adjusted by the sliding cooperation between the slide rail 1311 and the slider 1312. For example, in another optional embodiment, a telescopic rod is used as the linkage transmission member 131; the position of the positioning member 14 is adjusted by the telescopic effect of the telescopic rod.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 further includes a limiter; the limiters are arranged at both ends of the fixing member 132 along the telescopic direction to limit the telescopic travel of the fixing member 132. Since the limiters are arranged on the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13, the displacement of the fixing member 132 along the telescopic direction is limited, thereby preventing the fixing block from being separated from the linkage transmission member 131.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fixing member 132 includes a horizontal bracket 1321 and a vertical bracket 1322; one end of the vertical bracket 1322 is connected to the transmission mechanism 12, and the other end of the vertical bracket 1322 is connected to one end of the horizontal bracket 1321; the positioning member 14 is arranged at one end of the horizontal bracket 1321 away from the vertical bracket 1322. The fixing member 132 is formed by the horizontal bracket 1321 and the vertical bracket 1322, so that the length of the horizontal bracket 1321 and the length of the vertical bracket 1322 can be adjusted according to the height difference and distance difference between the furnace front positioning device 1 and the hot furnace 2, so that the positioning member 14 in the furnace front positioning device 1 can be at a suitable height and depth position in the hot furnace 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 12 includes a servo motor; the control end of the servo motor is used to receive a control signal; and the linkage operation shaft of the servo motor is in transmission connection with the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13. The servo motor is used as a driving component in the transmission mechanism 12, which can effectively drive the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13 to adjust the position of the positioning member 14.

[0035] In some embodiments, the positioning member 14 includes a roller 141 ; the rolling surface of the roller 141 is used to abut against the product, so that the positioning member 14 can guide the transportation of the glass 3 while abutting against the glass 3 .

[0036] In some embodiments, in order to fix the control mechanism 11, the transmission mechanism 12 and the telescopic adjustment mechanism 13, the furnace front positioning device 1 also includes a fixed platform 15; the linkage transmission component 131 is arranged on the fixed platform 15; the transmission mechanism 12 is arranged on the side of the fixed platform 15 away from the linkage transmission component 131; the control mechanism 11 is arranged on the outside of the fixed platform 15; thereby, the fixed platform 15 enables each mechanism to operate stably.
