Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , a positioning mechanism for glass production, comprising a bearing platform 1, on which a plurality of racks 2 are slidably connected, the plurality of racks 2 are arranged in a circular array along the center point of the bearing platform 1, a clamping unit 3 for positioning and clamping the glass is provided on the upper side of each rack 2, and a driving unit 4 for simultaneously driving the plurality of racks 2 to move closer to or away from each other is provided on the lower surface of the bearing platform 1; the clamping unit 3 comprises a fixed seat 5 arranged on the upper side of the rack 2, a movable movable plate 6 and a fixed plate 12 with a fixed position are provided on the upper side of the fixed seat 5, the upper end of the fixed plate 12 is rotatably connected to the opposite side with a connecting rod 7, each connecting rod 7 is penetrated by a waist-shaped groove 8, an elastic clamping wheel 9 is rotatably connected between the ends of the two connecting rods 7 away from the fixed plate 12, the opposite side of the movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 10 adapted to the waist-shaped groove 8, and a spring 11 is provided between the movable plate 6 and the fixed plate 12.

[0032] Specific implementation method in this embodiment: when it is necessary to perform secondary processing on the produced glass, the glass to be processed is placed on the upper surface of the carrier 1, and by starting the driving unit 4, the driving unit 4 simultaneously drives several racks 2 to move towards each other. When moving, the fixed seat 5 is located on the lower surface of the glass. When several movable plates 6 contact the side of the glass, the glass is pushed to the center position of the carrier 1, and the center position of the glass is aligned with the center position of the carrier 1, which is convenient for secondary processing of the glass. When the glass is located at the center position of the carrier 1, the rack 2 continues to move, and the movable plate 6 is pressed on the fixed seat 5 moves toward the fixed plate 12. At this time, the spring 11 is compressed. When the movable plate 6 moves, it drives the fixed rod 10 to slide in the waist-shaped groove 8 on the connecting rod 7. Since one end of the connecting rod 7 is fixed, when the fixed rod 10 slides in the waist-shaped groove 8, it drives the elastic pressing wheel 9 to move downward. The elastic pressing wheel 9 with elasticity presses the glass on the bearing platform 1, which is convenient for secondary processing of the glass. After the secondary processing of the glass is completed, the driving unit 4 drives the plurality of racks 2 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the tension of the spring 11 is released, and the movable plate 6 is pushed back to the starting position, and the processed glass can be removed.

[0033] It is worth noting that the number of the above-mentioned racks 2 is not limited, and the number of racks 2 can be set according to the shape of the glass. The above-mentioned glass can be round, square or regular polygonal and can be positioned and clamped by moving several racks 2. For irregular or rectangular glass, the positioning method is specifically introduced in the following embodiment.

The movement position of the movable plate 6 can be limited and fixed by the cooperation of the limit block 21 and the limit groove 22. The guide column 23 with a rectangular cross-section also has a limiting effect on the movable plate 6. At the same time, the guide column 23 can also prevent the spring 11 from undergoing a large amount of deformation. The auxiliary roller 24 has a guiding effect on the glass to prevent the lower surface of the fixed seat 5 from being scratched by the fixed seat 5. By setting an electric telescopic rod 26, the support plate 27 can be driven to rise and fall in the clearance opening 25. When it is necessary to cut the middle position of the glass, the support plate 27 is driven to descend by the electric telescopic rod 26, which is convenient for cutting the middle position of the glass. The cover plate 28 is used to protect the parts inside the supporting platform 1.
