It automatically grabs the blanks through devices such as robotic arms or suction cups, reduces manual operations, improves production efficiency and product quality, and reduces labor intensity and safety risks. It plays an important role in the modern glass manufacturing industry.

[0003] After searching, the patent number "CN212953040U" mentioned in the text that "the utility model discloses an automatic feeding mechanism for glass blank tubes, including a support and fixing frame, a motor, a threaded rotating rod, and a manipulator mechanism. One side of the support and fixing frame is connected to a fixed connection block, and the side of the support and fixing frame away from the fixed connection block is connected to the motor. One side of the support and fixing frame is provided with a fixed storage slot, and the threaded rotating rod is installed on the support and fixing frame. The end of the threaded rotating rod away from the motor is connected to a bearing, and the threaded rotating rod is connected to the manipulator mechanism, and the connecting spring is installed on the manipulator clamping block."

However, in the process of transporting glass blanks, most of the glass blanks are in plate shape. Due to the plate shape, during the transportation process, simply using a mechanical arm can only play the role of end transportation and mobile feeding. In the transportation process of the intermediate links, since the glass is fragile and has a large size, the transportation of the glass is relatively difficult, and most of the transportation requires manual participation.

[0004] To this end, we provide a glass blank automatic feeding machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides an automatic feeding machine for glass blanks, which solves the problem that during the transportation of glass blanks, most glass blanks are in plate shape. Due to their plate shape, during the transportation process, a simple mechanical arm can only be used for end-stage transportation and mobile feeding. During the transportation process in the middle link, the transportation of glass is relatively difficult due to its fragility and large size, and most of the transportation requires manual participation.

[0006] The present application provides a glass blank automatic feeding machine, comprising a main body support and a glass blank conveying mechanism, wherein the glass blank conveying mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the main body support;

[0007] The glass blank conveying mechanism comprises a glass blank conveying assembly arranged on the upper side of the main support, and a glass blank fixing assembly is arranged on the outer side of the glass blank conveying assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the glass blank transport assembly comprises transport rollers which are all arranged on the inner side of the main support, a transmission motor is installed on the front side of the transport rollers, and a steel conveyor belt is wrapped on the outer side of the transport rollers.

[0009] Preferably, the glass blank fixing assembly includes shaft brackets all arranged on the outside of the steel conveyor belt, a connecting shaft is installed on the inner side of the shaft bracket, a triangular fixing bracket is installed on the right side of the connecting shaft, a C-shaped glass frame is welded on the upper side of the connecting shaft, a micro-telescopic hydraulic group is installed on the inner left end of the C-shaped glass frame, a rubber semi-arc groove is installed on the right side of the micro-telescopic hydraulic group, a hard spring is installed on the inner right end of the C-shaped glass frame, a triangular rubber pad is installed on the outside of the hard spring, a position information transmitter is installed on the front side of the shaft bracket, an information processor is installed on the front side of the main bracket, and a signal sensor is installed on the upper side of the information processor.

[0010] Preferably, the micro-telescopic hydraulic group and the rubber semi-arc groove are welded, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the micro-telescopic hydraulic group and the rubber semi-arc groove.

[0011] Preferably, the triangular rubber pad and the hard spring are welded, and the triangular rubber pad is made of triangular rubber material.

[0012] Preferably, the signal sensor is electrically connected to the position information transmitter, and the signal sensor is electrically connected to the information processor.

[0013] Preferably, a glass blank loading assembly is installed on the left side of the main support, and the glass blank loading assembly includes a base arranged on the left side of the main support, a multi-stage robotic arm is installed on the upper side of the base, a vacuum pump is installed at the end of the multi-stage robotic arm, support frames are installed on the left and right sides of the vacuum pump, and a vacuum suction cup is installed at the end of the support frame.

[0014] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present application provides an automatic feeding machine for glass blanks. When in use, the main body bracket is first moved to the position where it needs to be used, and then the glass blank is manually inserted into the C-shaped glass frame on the upper side of the steel conveyor belt. Due to the influence of angle and gravity, the connecting shaft in the shaft bracket supports the C-shaped glass frame through the triangular fixing frame, and then the glass blank is inserted while the end of the blank contacts the rubber semi-arc groove, and the micro-telescopic hydraulic group will fine-tune the position of the rubber semi-arc groove, and the glass wall of the blank will contact the triangular rubber pad on the hard spring to provide support for the glass wall. After installation, the transport roller drives the steel conveyor belt to rotate through the rotation of the transmission motor until the position information transmitter is connected to the signal sensor signal on the information processor, and finally the multi-stage robotic arm of the base controls the vacuum suction cup to contact the glass blank, and then the air in the vacuum suction cup is drained by the vacuum pump, and the vacuum suction cup is lifted together with the glass blank through the support frame for subsequent operations.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] 1. Through the setting of the glass blank conveying mechanism, when it is needed, the conveying roller is rotated by the transmission motor, and the transmission motor drives the steel conveyor belt to rotate. The structure of the steel conveyor belt itself is relatively stable. In the process of transporting glass, the dent phenomenon is weaker and the stability is better. Through the triangular fixing frame on the right side of the connecting shaft, the stability of the C-shaped glass frame can be maintained during transportation, and the structure is rotated by the connecting shaft and the triangular fixing frame. During the loading process of the glass, it is convenient to take out the vacuum suction cup after grabbing, and the triangular fixing frame and the steel conveyor belt can maintain stability during transportation, reducing the breakage caused by the rigidity of the glass.

[0017] 2. Through the setting of the glass blank conveying mechanism, after the glass blank is inserted into the C-shaped glass rack, the end of the blank is stuck in the rubber semi-arc groove, and the micro-telescopic hydraulic group will provide a certain amount of telescopic space for the glass. Cooperating with the rubber semi-arc groove, it can automatically adjust the lower position of the glass blank to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the transportation stability of the ingredients. After the glass blank is inserted into the C-shaped glass rack, the glass plate contacts the triangular rubber pad, and then through the support of the hard spring, the overall glass blank can provide soft support while making the placement angle of the glass blank more stable. When the shaft bracket carrying the position information transmitter passes the signal sensor, it means that the position has reached the loading position, and it will automatically stop and proceed with subsequent operations.

[0018] In summary, the present application can make the transportation of glass blanks more stable and safer during the transportation of glass blanks, and the loading and use of the blanks after transportation are safer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
