[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A glass alignment platform includes a base 1, the base 1 has a positioning platform 11, and also includes a transportation mechanism 2, an alignment mechanism 3 and a detection mechanism 4 arranged on the base 1. When working, the transportation mechanism 2 inputs and lowers the glass from above the positioning platform 11, the positioning platform 11 supports the glass platform and avoids direct contact with the glass, the alignment mechanism 3 aligns the glass, and the detection mechanism 4 is used to detect the alignment of the glass.

[0032] The positioning platform 11 is located in the middle of the base 1, and the transport mechanism 2 includes a frame 21 disposed on the base 1, a transport structure 22 disposed on the frame 21, and a driving structure 23. At the same time, a lifting structure 24 is disposed between the frame 21 and the base 1 for driving the frame 21 to rise or fall relative to the positioning platform 11.

[0033] Specifically, the frame 21 is located at both ends of the positioning platform 11, and the transport structure 22 includes a first transport component 221 and a second transport component 222 respectively disposed at both ends of the positioning platform 11, and the frame 21, the first transport component 221 and the second transport component 222 are arranged along the transport direction of the glass. The first transport component 221 includes a first rotating shaft 2211 rotatably connected to the frame 21 and a plurality of first pulleys 2212 disposed on the first rotating shaft 2211; the second transport component 222 includes a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the frame 21 and a plurality of second pulleys disposed on the second rotating shaft; the first pulley 2212 and the second pulley are covered with a transmission belt 223 for transporting the glass, and the transmission belt 223 extends along the transport direction of the glass.

[0034] The driving structure 23 includes a driving motor 231 disposed on the base 1. The output shaft of the driving motor 231 is provided with a driving wheel. One end of the first rotating shaft 2211 is provided with a driven wheel. The driving wheel meshes with the driven wheel. When the driving structure 23 is in operation, the driving motor 231 drives the driving wheel to rotate. The rotating driving wheel drives the first rotating shaft 2211 to rotate through the driven wheel. The rotating first rotating shaft 2211 drives the transmission belt 223 and the second rotating shaft to rotate. When the glass is placed above the transmission belt 223, the glass can be driven to move along the length direction of the transmission belt 223.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Correspondingly, the positioning platform 11 is provided with a plurality of adapting grooves 113 for matching the transmission belt 223, and the transmission belt 223 is engaged with or disengaged from the adapting groove 113. The lifting structure 24 includes a lifting cylinder 241 arranged on the base 1, and there are four lifting cylinders 241, and the four lifting cylinders 241 are respectively located at the four corners of the positioning platform 11, and the piston end of the lifting cylinder 241 is provided with a connecting piece 242, and the connecting piece 242 is connected to the frame 21. A vertically arranged linear guide rail is arranged on the base 1, and the frame 21 is arranged on the linear guide rail. Driven by the lifting cylinder 241, the frame 21 will rise or fall along the linear guide rail, thereby driving the transport structure 22 arranged on the frame 21 to rise or fall, and then the transmission belt 223 is engaged with or disengaged from the adapting groove 113.

[0036] In order to prevent the glass from contacting the positioning platform 11, the positioning platform 11 is provided with a number of air holes 111 and air flotation holes, and air flotation beads 112 are arranged in the air flotation holes. The air holes 111 and the air flotation beads 112 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the positioning platform 11, and an air duct connecting the air holes 111 and the air flotation holes is arranged below the positioning platform 11. When the glass is close to the positioning platform 11, the gas ejected from the air holes 111 supports the glass, and the gas ejected from the air flotation holes drives the air flotation beads 112 to rise. When the gas in the air holes 111 cannot support the glass, the glass will fall to the air flotation beads 112, and the air flotation beads 112 increase the support for the glass, thereby preventing the glass from contacting the positioning platform 11 and avoiding scratches caused by subsequent alignment. The air flotation beads 112 can be purchased, and their structure and working principle will not be repeated. You can choose a specific model in actual use.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the connecting member 242 is provided with an opening groove 2421 for matching the piston end of the lifting cylinder 241. The piston end of the lifting cylinder 241 is provided with a first limit block 2411 and a second limit block 2412. The opening groove 2421 is located between the first limit block 2411 and the second limit block 2412. That is, the connecting member 242 is installed at the piston end of the lifting cylinder 241 in a clamping manner to achieve convenient and quick disassembly and installation.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The alignment mechanism 3 includes a plurality of first alignment structures 31 and a second alignment structure 32 arranged on the positioning platform 11. Specifically, the first alignment structure 31 includes a first vertical alignment cylinder arranged on both sides of the length direction of the base 1, a first transverse alignment cylinder 312 arranged on the first vertical alignment cylinder, and a first alignment roller 313 arranged on the first transverse alignment cylinder 312; the second alignment structure 32 includes a second alignment cylinder 321 arranged on both sides of the width direction of the base 1 and a second alignment roller 322 arranged on the second alignment cylinder 321. In order to adapt to the second alignment roller 322, the positioning platform 11 is provided with an alignment stroke groove 114 for matching the second alignment roller 322, and the second alignment roller 322 is located in the alignment stroke groove 114 and can reciprocate along the alignment stroke groove 114.

[0039] When the alignment mechanism 3 is in operation, the first alignment cylinder 311 drives the first lateral alignment cylinder 312 and the first alignment roller 313 to rise to the same height as the glass, the first lateral alignment cylinder 312 drives the first alignment roller 313 to extend to limit the two sides of the glass, and the second alignment cylinder 321 drives the second alignment roller 322 to extend to limit the other two sides of the glass, so that the direction of the glass and the positioning platform 11 are consistent, thereby completing the alignment.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 by Figure 6 The glass alignment platform further includes a detection mechanism 4, which includes a plurality of sensors 41 disposed on the side of the positioning platform 11. In this embodiment, the sensors 41 are located at both ends of the positioning platform 11. In order to install the sensors 41, a recessed groove 115 is provided on the side of the positioning platform 11, and the sensors 41 are disposed in the recessed groove 115. When the glass alignment is completed, the glass will block the top of the recessed groove 115, and the sensor 41 facing the glass will receive a blocking signal. When the sensors 41 on both sides receive the blocking signal, the glass alignment is completed.
