DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model provides a glass feeding device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a conveyor line 1 and two sets of glass feeding mechanisms and a paper separator grabbing mechanism. The two sets of glass feeding mechanisms and the paper separator grabbing mechanism are arranged on both sides of the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 is an existing mature technology and is used to transport glass to the stacking area or processing work area. The conveyor line 1, the two sets of glass feeding mechanisms and the paper separator grabbing mechanism are surrounded by a safety fence 9.

[0021] Glass retrieving stations 2 are provided on both sides of the conveyor line 1. The glass retrieving stations 2 are used to accommodate AGV carts loaded with glass. The glass loaded on the AGV carts is separated by paper. A waste paper cart 8 is provided below the paper separation grabbing mechanism. The paper separation grabbing mechanism is used to grab the separation paper into the waste paper cart 8. Two sets of glass feeding mechanisms and paper separation grabbing mechanisms correspond to two glass retrieving stations 2. The glass feeding mechanism includes a lateral movement component 3, a lifting component 4 and a glass suction manipulator 5 connected in sequence. The lateral movement component 3 and the lifting component 4 can be a screw slide module or a gear rack module, or a module that can realize linear motion.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the glass suction robot 5 includes a bracket 51 and eight groups of head cylinders 52 and suction cups 53. The eight groups of head cylinders 52 are divided into two groups, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the bracket 51 and arranged along the length direction of the glass. The head cylinders 52 are vertically arranged on the bracket 51 and connected to the suction cups 53 one by one.

[0023] When the glass sucking robot 5 moves horizontally to above the glass picking station 2, the suction cup 53 of the glass sucking robot 5 drops into place, the suction cup 53 sucks the glass, and then the head cylinder 52 is lifted twice to separate the glass, so as to avoid the glass being unable to separate due to static electricity, and effectively prevent the safety accident of glass falling during transportation.

[0024] In order to prevent the suction cup 53 from hard contact with the glass, the glass suction manipulator 5 also includes several groups of fixing sleeves 54, T-shaped guide rods 55 and springs 1 56. The output end of the head cylinder 52 is connected to the fixing sleeve 54, the guide rod 55 is vertically slidably adapted on the fixing sleeve 54, and the bottom end is connected to the suction cup 53. The spring 1 56 is sleeved on the T-shaped guide rod 55 and is located between the fixing sleeve 54 and the suction cup 53. When the suction cup 53 contacts the glass, the suction cup 53 will drive the guide rod 55 to move upward, so that the suction cup 53 has vertical flexibility, and the suction cup 53 absorbs the glass under the action of the spring 1 56.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the paper separator grabbing mechanism includes a frame 61 and four groups of clamping cylinders 62, fixed clamping blocks 63, and movable clamping blocks 64 arranged on both sides of the frame 61. The clamping cylinders 62 and fixed clamping blocks 63 are fixed on the frame 61, and the movable clamping blocks 64 are arranged on the output end of the clamping cylinders 62 and correspond to the fixed clamping blocks 63.

[0026] Each set of fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 consists of two blocks. A T-shaped spring rod 65 is vertically arranged on the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 located at the bottom. The spring rod 65 slides vertically and fits on the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 above. A spring 2 66 is arranged on the outer cover of the spring rod 65. When the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 contact the separator paper, the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 will drive the spring rod 65 to move upward, so that the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 have vertical flexibility, and under the action of the spring 2 66, the fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 contact the separator paper. The fixed clamps 63 and movable clamps 64 squeeze each other on the separator paper to complete the capture of the separator paper folds.

[0027] Working principle: After the AGV trolley transports the whole tray of glass to the glass picking station 2 and leaves, it sends a pick-up signal, and the glass sucking manipulator 5 moves horizontally to the top of the glass picking station 2, and the glass sucking manipulator 5 descends to the position, and the suction cup 53 sucks the glass. The head cylinder is lifted twice to separate the glass to prevent the glass from being unable to separate due to static electricity. The glass sucking manipulator 5 moves horizontally to the top of the conveyor line 1, and at the same time, the paper grabbing manipulator 6 moves horizontally to the top of the glass picking station 2. The glass sucking manipulator 5 descends to place the glass on the conveyor line 1, and sends a signal to the conveyor line 1 to transport the glass to the next station. The glass sucking manipulator 5 rises and moves horizontally back to the origin through the horizontal movement component 1 3 and the lifting component 4. At the same time, the paper grabbing manipulator 6 descends to the position, and after clamping the spacer paper through four pairs of clamps, it rises and moves horizontally to the top of the waste paper trolley 8, slowly descends to place the spacer paper in the waste paper trolley 8, and then returns to the origin. Repeat the operation and perform the next glass sucking and paper grabbing action.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
