Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass processing, in particular to a lower guide device for transverse cutting equipment. Background Art

[0002] Overflow down-drawing is an effective method for producing ultra-thin glass. This method mainly injects molten glass into a wedge-shaped overflow trough, allows the molten glass to overflow from the overflow trough, and then pulls down the integrated molten glass under the overflow trough to form ultra-thin glass. During the overflow down-drawing process, the direction of the glass flow is parallel to the two sides of the glass ribbon formed by it, which is conducive to installing temperature regulating devices on both sides of the glass ribbon to eliminate the unevenness of the glass, thereby improving the quality of the glass. In addition, this method does not require the use of auxiliary equipment such as trough bricks, guide bricks, steering rollers or tin baths.

[0003] The lower guide device of the existing substrate glass production line transverse cutting equipment is mainly driven by a rotating device to open and close the guide wheel to achieve the clamping and guiding of the glass flowing down. The specific structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the main structure of this part is divided into a guide mechanism 1, an opening and closing mechanism 2 and a positioning plate 3. The opening and closing mechanism 2 is driven by a rotary cylinder to drive the guide wheel to open and close relative to the glass belt 4, so that the guide wheel clamps the glass to guide it. The position adjustment of the guide mechanism 1 relative to the glass belt 4 is driven by a screw and a slider, and the range of movement is limited.

[0004] Although the existing mechanism can achieve the function of clamping and guiding the glass ribbon 4, it is currently mainly used in the production line where the glass ribbon 4 is relatively small and stable. First, in the guide mechanism 1, the guide wheel can be close to or away from the glass ribbon, but the guide wheel is close to the glass ribbon and the movement is relatively small. Once the position deviation of the glass flowing down from the top is too large, it will still cause glass fragments or even breakage. Secondly, the existing guide device includes a guide mechanism 1 and an opening and closing mechanism 2 arranged in front and back. Although the guide wheel can clamp the glass ribbon 4 to guide it, when the rotation opening and closing mode of the opening and closing mechanism 2 cooperates with the guide mechanism 1, the guide wheel of the opening and closing mechanism 2 is relatively close to the guide wheel of the guide mechanism 1 on the other side of the glass ribbon 4. When the robot arm carries the suction cup to absorb the preset section of the glass ribbon 4, it needs to avoid the opening and closing mechanism 2 and also stagger with the guide wheel of the guide mechanism 1. However, for a glass ribbon 4 with a larger size, if the suction cup absorbs the preset section of the glass ribbon 4 far away from the opposite support point, it is easy to fail to absorb the glass or absorb it loosely, resulting in glass fragments or even breakage.

[0005] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN202968366U provides a glass guide system for use with a glass cross-cutting machine. The solution includes a control unit with a management circuit, a clamping non-contact guide mechanism arranged on the upper part of the vertical glass ribbon, and a substrate support mechanism located at the lower part of the glass ribbon and arranged on the back of the glass ribbon. The substrate support mechanism cooperates with a suction cup breaking robot arranged on the front of the glass ribbon to clamp the glass ribbon and cooperates with the glass cross-cutting machine to cut the glass ribbon.

[0006] Since the substrate support mechanism is limited by the base and still cannot be adjusted greatly in the front-rear direction to be suitable for larger glass, based on this, the existing technology still needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model proposes a lower guide device for a transverse cutting device, which can at least solve the problem that the existing guide mechanism cannot adapt to the guide adjustment of larger-sized glass.

[0008] The utility model discloses a lower guide device of a transverse cutting device, which includes a guide adjustment mechanism, and the guide adjustment mechanism includes: a guide part, a guide wheel and an adsorption transfer mechanism. The guide part extends in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon.

The adsorption transfer mechanism is arranged on the other side of the glass ribbon to adsorb, break and transfer a preset section of the glass ribbon, wherein the guide wheel is arranged so that its position is opposite to the adsorption position of the adsorption transfer mechanism.

[0009] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism further includes a cylinder, which is used to control the connection assembly to slide along the guide portion to adjust the position of the guide wheel in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon.

[0010] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism also includes a fixed part, which is fixedly arranged, and the guide part includes a guide rail and a slider, the guide rail is fixedly installed on the fixed part, the slider is installed on the connecting component, and the slider is slidably arranged along the guide rail; the cylinder body of the cylinder is installed on the fixed part, and the piston of the cylinder is connected to the connecting component.

[0011] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of guide wheels, the plurality of guide wheels are arranged in a vertical direction, and a rotation axis of each guide wheel is in a horizontal direction and parallel to the glass ribbon.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly further includes a mounting plate and a connecting rod, the slider is mounted on the mounting plate, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the mounting plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the mounting rod.

[0014] In some embodiments, a connecting block is provided on the mounting plate, and the piston of the cylinder is connected to the connecting block.

[0015] In some embodiments, there are two guide adjustment mechanisms, which are disposed on two lateral sides of the same surface of the glass ribbon, and the two guide adjustment mechanisms are symmetrically disposed with respect to the glass ribbon.

[0016] In some embodiments, the adsorption transfer mechanism includes a mechanical arm and a suction cup. The suction cup is arranged at the operating end of the mechanical arm. When the suction cup adsorbs the glass ribbon, the suction cup is located in the middle of the two guide adjustment mechanisms.

[0017] In some embodiments, the two guide adjustment mechanisms act synchronously.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the lower guide device of the transverse cutting device provided by the utility model has a large adjustment range by setting a guide part extending in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon, and can be suitable for guiding glass of larger size. The utility model adjusts the existing problem that when the suction cup absorbs the glass, the supporting position of the guide mechanism on the opposite side is misaligned, which easily causes the glass to fail to be absorbed or to be absorbed loosely, by setting the guide mechanism and the opening and closing mechanism on both sides of the glass ribbon. The opening and closing structure of the rotary guide is cancelled, and only the guide adjustment mechanism opposite to the adsorption transfer mechanism is retained. When the adsorption transfer mechanism absorbs the glass, the guide wheel of the guide adjustment mechanism plays a supporting role corresponding to it, so that the adsorption transfer mechanism absorbs and transfers the glass more smoothly.

[0023] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention shown in the exemplary embodiments are illustrative only. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in the present invention, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that multiple modifications are feasible without actually departing from the teachings of the subject matter of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications should be included within the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, other replacements, modifications, changes and deletions may be made to the design, operating conditions and parameters of the following exemplary embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower guide device of the transverse cutting device provided by the embodiment of the utility model is based on Figure 1 The lower guide device of the transverse cutting device in the embodiment of the utility model is improved. The lower guide device of the transverse cutting device in the embodiment of the utility model includes a guide adjustment mechanism, and the guide adjustment mechanism includes a guide part, a guide wheel 7 and an adsorption transfer mechanism. The guide part extends in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon 4. The guide wheel 7 is arranged on one side of the glass ribbon 4 to provide guidance for the downward movement of the glass ribbon 4. The guide wheel 7 is movably arranged along the guide part through a connecting component to adjust the position relative to the glass ribbon 4. The adsorption transfer mechanism is arranged on the other side of the glass ribbon 4 to adsorb, break and transfer the preset section of the glass ribbon 4, wherein the guide wheel 7 is arranged so that its position is opposite to the adsorption position of the adsorption transfer mechanism to provide support for the adsorption of the adsorption transfer mechanism.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the lower guide device of the transverse cutting device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can be used to guide glass of larger size by setting a guide part extending in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon 4, and has a larger adjustment range. When in use, it is only adjusted once before the glass flows down to prevent the larger glass from hitting the guide wheel 7 when the position deviation of the glass flowing down from the top is too large. In addition, the utility model makes adjustments to the existing problem that when the guide mechanism 2 and the opening and closing mechanism 1 are set on both sides of the glass ribbon 4, the suction cup is misaligned with the support position of the opposite side guide mechanism 2, which easily causes the glass to fail to be sucked or sucked loosely. The opening and closing structure of the rotary guide is cancelled, and only the guide adjustment mechanism opposite to the adsorption transfer mechanism is retained. When the adsorption transfer mechanism adsorbs the glass, the guide wheel 7 of the guide adjustment mechanism plays a supporting role corresponding to it, so that the adsorption transfer mechanism adsorbs and transfers the glass more smoothly. In addition, due to the large size of the glass, the size of the corresponding adsorption and transfer mechanism is also increased accordingly. Since the lower guide device of the transverse cutting device of the utility model is arranged below the transverse cutting device, the glass ribbon 4 has been cut and scored by the transverse mechanism equipment at the preset position. Therefore, the adsorption and transfer mechanism can directly break the glass ribbon 4 when adsorbing and transferring the section of glass ribbon 4, and will not cause the glass ribbon 4 above it to break or break. It can be found through practice that due to the large size of the glass, the swing amplitude is small due to the influence of gravity in the process of flowing from top to bottom. Only setting a guide adjustment mechanism on one side of the glass ribbon 4 can also play a better guiding role.

[0026] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism further includes a cylinder 10, which is used to control the connection assembly to slide along the guide portion to adjust the position of the guide wheel 7 in a direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon 4. Specifically, a circuit control unit is also provided on the cylinder 10 to control the extension of the cylinder 10 according to the position of the glass ribbon 4 flowing down, to adapt to the adjustment of the initial position deviation of the glass ribbon 4, and to prevent the glass ribbon 4 from hitting the guide wheel 7 to break or fracture.

[0027] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism further includes a fixing part, which is fixedly arranged, and the guide part includes a guide rail 11 and a slider 12, the guide rail 11 is fixedly installed on the fixing part, the slider 12 is installed on the connecting assembly, and the slider 12 is slidably arranged along the guide rail 11, specifically, a groove is arranged on the slider 12, and the slider 12 is arranged on the outside of the guide rail 11 through the groove. The cylinder body of the cylinder 10 is installed on the fixing part, and the piston of the cylinder 10 is connected to the connecting assembly. Specifically, the fixing part includes a fixing frame 9 and a fixing plate 8, the fixing plate 8 is vertically installed on the fixing frame 9, and the cylinder body of the cylinder 10 is installed on the fixing part. When the cylinder 10 is working, the piston drives the connecting assembly to move, so that the connecting assembly slides along the guide rail 11, and the position of the guide wheel 7 relative to the glass ribbon 4 is adjusted.

[0028] In some embodiments, the guide adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of guide wheels 7, which are arranged in a vertical direction to provide a larger support surface for the glass ribbon 4, thereby preventing the glass ribbon 4 from being broken due to a large pressure when the adsorption transfer mechanism adsorbs the glass, and improving the reliability of adsorption. The rotation center of each guide wheel 7 is in a horizontal direction and parallel to the glass ribbon 4, so as to guide the glass ribbon 4 from top to bottom.

[0029] In some embodiments, the connection assembly includes a mounting rod 6, which is vertically arranged, and each guide wheel 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting rod 6 to provide support for the rotation of the guide wheel 7. Specifically, a horizontally penetrating mounting hole is provided on the mounting rod 6, and a central shaft is installed in the middle of the guide wheel 7, and both ends of the central shaft are rotatably inserted into the mounting hole.

[0030] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly further includes a mounting plate 13 and a connecting rod 5, the slider 12 is mounted on the mounting plate 13, there are two connecting rods 5, one end of each connecting rod 5 is connected to the mounting plate 13, and the other end of each connecting rod 5 is connected to the mounting rod 6, so that when adjusting the position of the guide wheel 7 relative to the glass ribbon 4, the connecting assembly can be used for adjustment, the adjustment range is large, and it is suitable for glass ribbons 4 of larger sizes.

[0031] In some embodiments, a connecting block (not shown) is provided on the mounting plate 13, the piston of the cylinder 10 is connected to the connecting block, the connecting block is located below the slider 12, and the cylinder 10 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the glass ribbon 4. In particular, the connecting block may not be provided, so that the piston rod of the cylinder 10 is directly connected to the slider 12 to directly drive the slider 12 to move.

[0032] In some embodiments, there are two guide adjustment mechanisms, which are arranged on both lateral sides of the same surface of the glass ribbon 4, and the two guide adjustment mechanisms are symmetrically arranged about the glass ribbon 4, thereby improving the stability of the support for the glass ribbon 4, making the glass ribbon 4 evenly stressed, and further enhancing the reliability of the adsorption transfer mechanism when adsorbing the glass.

[0033] In some embodiments, the adsorption transfer mechanism includes a robotic arm and a suction cup. The suction cup is arranged at the operating end of the robotic arm. When the suction cup adsorbs the glass ribbon 4, it is located in the middle of the two guide adjustment mechanisms. The robotic arm performs corresponding actions under the control of the control unit. The suction cup is used to adsorb a preset section of the glass ribbon 4.

[0034] In some embodiments, the two guide adjustment mechanisms act synchronously, which saves adjustment time, improves work efficiency, and enhances the stability and firmness of the glass ribbon 4 .

[0035] The utility model provides a working principle and working method of the lower guide device of the transverse cutting equipment:

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, before the glass ribbon 4 flows from top to bottom, the cylinder 10 first controls the extension of the cylinder 10 according to the information obtained by the circuit control unit, so as to adjust the distance between the guide wheel 7 and the glass ribbon 4 through the connecting assembly and the guide part, adapt to the deviation of the initial position of the glass ribbon 4, and prevent the glass ribbon 4 from hitting the guide wheel 7 and breaking when flowing down. After the adjustment, the glass ribbon 4 flows down and moves vertically downward under the guidance of the guide wheel 7. When the lower end of the glass ribbon 4 reaches the preset position, the robot arm is controlled to work, and the lower end of the glass ribbon 4 is adsorbed by the suction cup. After adsorption, the preset section is broken and transferred to the next process.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. If the present invention is modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
