Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass production, in particular to a storage system for original glass sheets. Background Art

[0002] Original glass refers to the fixed-size glass produced by the flat glass factory. As the end customers have various requirements for glass size and performance, the original glass needs to go through deep processing such as cutting, edge grinding, tempering, coating, etc. before it can become glass for end users.

[0003] After the glass sheets are transported to the deep processing plant, they will be stacked in the storage area first, and then divided into glass packages of the same size for storage according to the different sizes of the glass sheets. When the deep processing plant needs glass sheets of a certain size, the glass sheets will be transported from the storage area to the production line by manual lifting or mechanical transfer.

[0004] For example, the utility model patent with patent number 201511018164.8 discloses a fully automatic shuttle intelligent storage system, including a feeding station, a storage station, a movable guide rail, a shuttle head, a loading station and a sheet loading station. In the above-mentioned fully automatic shuttle intelligent storage system, the conveying structure between the feeding station, the storage station, the shuttle head and the loading station is not designed and unified. The glass rack for placing the original glass may get stuck, vibrate or even get stuck when moving between the stations, causing the entire fully automatic shuttle intelligent storage system to run poorly or stop operating, and may also cause the glass to move due to jamming or vibration, posing a safety hazard.

[0005] Therefore, how to enable the glass rack to move smoothly between various workstations has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a storage system for raw glass sheets that can enable a glass rack to move smoothly between various workstations.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] The lower end of the glass frame is provided with two parallel bottom plates, and the lower part of the inner side surface of the bottom plate is provided with a slide groove along the length direction of the bottom plate, the slide groove can accommodate the first roller and make the first roller roll along the slide groove, the second roller can be rotatably installed on the upper side of the roller bracket, and the edge of the second roller can abut against the inner side surface of the bottom plate and roll along the length direction of the bottom plate.

[0010] The storage system unifies the conveying structures on the feeding station, storage station, shuttle and loading station, and uniformly adopts roller assemblies to convey the glass racks, so that the glass racks can flow smoothly between various stations, thereby improving the stability and transmission efficiency of the operation of the storage system; further, the first roller can limit the bottom plate of the glass rack in the vertical direction, and the second roller can limit the bottom plate of the glass rack in the horizontal direction, and both of them are movable with the bottom plate in the longitudinal direction, and both are sliding friction, and the resistance is very small, so the glass rack can slide freely with the roller assembly in the longitudinal direction.

[0011] In the above-mentioned glass raw sheet storage system, the roller bracket includes a horizontal support plate and vertical support plates fixed at both ends of the horizontal support plate, the two vertical support plates are arranged in parallel, and a first rotating shaft is passed between the two vertical support plates.

The first roller is located on the outer side of the vertical support plate, and a vertically arranged second rotating shaft is fixed on the upper end surfaces of the left and right ends of the horizontal support plate, and the second roller can be rotatably installed on the upper end of the second rotating shaft.

[0012] The vertical support plates in the present storage system are directly fixedly connected to the base frame of the corresponding workstation. Therefore, there will be a certain error in the spacing and height between the two vertical support plates of the same roller bracket after fixation. The first roller is installed at both ends of the first rotating shaft. As long as the size of the first rotating shaft is consistent, the spacing between the first rollers can be ensured to be consistent, so that the first rollers of each roller assembly on the same workstation are aligned in the longitudinal direction, so that the first roller can better cooperate with the slide groove, and the glass rack can move more smoothly along the roller assembly; the design of the second roller can limit the bottom plate of the glass rack, avoiding the glass rack from deviating to the left or right, causing the outer side surface of the first roller to directly abut against the bottom of the slide groove and generate sliding friction, causing damage to the first roller or the slide groove, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the present storage system during operation and making the movement of the glass rack smoother.

[0013] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw sheets, the roller bracket also includes an adjusting rod, the vertical support plate is provided with a slot with an upper opening, the first rotating shaft is inserted into the slot from the opening, the adjusting rod is vertically arranged and passes through the first rotating shaft, and two adjusting nuts are threadedly connected to the adjusting rod, and the two adjusting nuts are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first rotating shaft; all the first rollers on the feeding station, storage station, loading station and shuttle are located on the same horizontal plane, and all the second rollers are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0014] The design of the card slot on the vertical support plate, in conjunction with the adjusting rod and adjusting nut, can adjust the height of the first rotating shaft, thereby eliminating interference from external factors such as the ground and the height of the base frames of each workstation, ensuring that the upper edges of the first rollers of all roller assemblies are on the same horizontal plane, further improving the smoothness and stability of the transportation of this warehousing system.

[0015] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw materials, the glass rack includes a support frame, a base plate and a connecting plate. There are two base plates and they are arranged in parallel. Slide grooves are arranged on the opposite sides of the two base plates along the length direction of the base plates. The upper parts of the two base plates are fixedly connected by multiple connecting plates. The support frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate. The support frame is L-shaped, and anti-slip strips are installed on the bottom and sides of the support frame.

[0016] The structure of the above-mentioned glass rack can make the glass rack better cooperate with the roller assembly and transmit between various workstations. The L-shaped support frame design is convenient for taking out the original glass pieces. The design of the anti-slip strip can prevent the original glass pieces from sliding and breaking when the glass rack moves between various workstations, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the storage system during operation.

[0017] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw sheets, the shuttle comprises a shuttle frame slidably connected to a moving guide rail and a frame driving member driving the glass frame to move along a roller assembly, the roller assembly being fixed to the bottom of the shuttle frame along a longitudinal interval, the front, rear, left and right sides of the shuttle frame being fixedly connected with a first protective frame and a second protective frame respectively, the glass frame being slidably installed between the first protective frame and the second protective frame, the first protective frame being higher than the second protective frame, and the second protective frame being rotatably connected with a pressure rod for squeezing the glass raw sheet toward the first protective frame; the frame driving member is provided with two symmetrically arranged positioning claws and a claw driving member driving the positioning claws to move up and down, both ends of the bottom plate are connected with positioning rods, the positioning claws can move downward and be clamped and fixed with the corresponding positioning rods.

[0018] The design of the first protective frame and the second protective frame can support the glass rack, and the design of the pressure rod can press the original glass sheet on the glass rack to prevent the original glass sheet from sliding or vibrating when the shuttle moves. In the frame drive, the positioning claw on the left side can be clamped and fixed with the positioning rod on the right side of the bottom plate, and the positioning claw on the right side can be clamped and fixed with the positioning rod on the left side of the bottom plate. This design makes it easy for the positioning claw to pull the glass rack out of each station to enter the shuttle, or push the glass rack out of the shuttle to enter each station.

[0020] The structure of the above-mentioned positioning claw has the advantages of simple structure and convenient positioning. The structure of the groove on the claw body can make the positioning rod easier to insert into the groove. The claw driving part can not only drive the claw body to rotate so that it can be engaged with the positioning rod, but also can continue to apply pressure to the claw body after the claw body and the positioning rod are engaged and fixed, so that the two can be firmly fixed.

[0021] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw sheets, positioning parts are installed on the side of the feeding station and the loading station away from the movable guide rail, and the positioning parts include a positioning seat, a positioning plate, a positioning cylinder, a positioning swing arm and a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft can be rotatably installed on the positioning seat, and the positioning plate and the positioning swing arm are respectively fixed at both ends of the connecting shaft. The positioning cylinder is connected to the positioning swing arm and can drive the positioning shaft to rotate, and the lower end of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning slot that can be engaged with the positioning rod.

[0022] The original glass sheets at the feeding station will be placed on the glass rack through hoisting, and the glass on the glass rack will be removed by the sheet retrieval machine at the loading station. Both have high requirements on the firmness of the connection between the glass rack and the station; the design of the above-mentioned positioning parts can better fix the glass rack. Only when the positioning cylinder drives the positioning plate to move up and the positioning rod is disengaged from the positioning slot, can the glass rack be moved out from the feeding station and the loading station.

[0023] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw sheets, a limiting member is installed on the side of the feeding station and / or storage station and / or loading station away from the movable guide rail, and the limiting member includes a limiting base, a limiting roller and an elastic member or a limiting driving member, the limiting roller is located above the limiting base and is movably connected to the limiting base through a limiting swing arm, and the elastic member or the limiting driving member can drive the limiting roller to move upward, and the lower sides of the connecting plates at both ends of the glass rack are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks, and the lower ends of the limiting blocks are provided with limiting grooves for accommodating the limiting rollers, and both sides of the limiting groove in the lower side surface of the limiting block are provided with inclined surfaces with higher outer sides and lower inner sides.

[0024] The design of the above-mentioned limiter enables the glass rack to be fixed to the corresponding feeding station, storage station and loading station in a purely mechanical way, and when the shuttle machine applies an outward pulling force to it, the limit roller will disengage from the limit groove, so that the glass rack can be pulled away smoothly. It has a simple structure, easy operation and high stability.

[0025] In the above-mentioned glass raw sheet storage system, the film retrieval machine is arranged on one side of the loading station or between two loading stations, and a plurality of conveying rollers are arranged at longitudinal intervals on the film retrieval frame of the film retrieval machine, and the upper edges of the plurality of conveying rollers form a conveying plane, and a conveying driving component for driving all the conveying rollers to rotate synchronously is arranged on the film retrieval frame, and a flipping bracket is hinged on both sides of the film retrieval frame in the horizontal direction, and a flipping driving component for driving the corresponding flipping bracket to rotate around the hinge is fixed on the film retrieval frame, and a plurality of flipping arms are arranged at longitudinal intervals on the inner sides of the two flipping brackets, and the flipping arms on the two flipping brackets are staggered, and at least one conveying roller is arranged between all adjacent flipping arms, and a suction cup assembly for fixing the glass is arranged to be liftable above each flipping arm, and the suction cup in the suction cup assembly can be moved to the lower side of the conveying plane.

[0026] The film retrieval machine can retrieve films from both sides. After the glass on the glass rack on one side of the film retrieval machine is retrieved, the film can be retrieved directly from the glass rack on the other side of the film retrieval machine, which can achieve seamless connection, greatly reduce the standby time of the film retrieval machine, and have higher working efficiency. The film retrieval machine is realized by two flip brackets and flip arms and suction cup assemblies fixed on the corresponding flip brackets. The staggered arrangement of the flip arms on the two flip brackets can not only avoid mutual interference between the flip arms on the two flip brackets during operation, but also stabilize the distance between two adjacent flip arms on the same flip bracket, so that the film retrieval machine can transport smaller glass and has wider adaptability; at least one conveying roller is provided between adjacent flip arms to ensure that the distance between the conveying rollers is small, so that the horizontal conveying of the glass is more stable. The at least one conveying roller provided between the adjacent flip arms refers to all the flip arms of the two flip brackets, rather than the adjacent flip arms on a single flip bracket.

[0027] In the above-mentioned storage system for glass raw materials, the suction cup assembly includes a suction cup arm, a suction cup, an external shaft and an internal shaft. The suction cup arm is parallel to the flip arm and is arranged above the flip arm. The external shaft and the internal shaft are arranged in parallel. The lower ends of all the external shafts are fixedly connected to the flip shaft parallel to the flip bracket. There are multiple suction cups and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the suction cup arm. The outer end of the suction cup arm is connected to the outer end of the flip arm through the external shaft, and the inner end or the middle part of the suction cup arm is connected to the outer end of the flip arm through the internal shaft. The flip arm is provided with a lifting drive component for driving the suction cup arm to approach or move away from the flip arm.

[0028] The design of the suction cup arm that can move relative to the flip arm and the external and internal shafts in the film retrieval machine can ensure that the suction cup arm remains parallel to the flip arm when moving, and can also facilitate the suction cup arm to drive the suction cup to extend into the glass frame, making it easier to adsorb and fix the original glass behind; at the same time, after the original glass to be adsorbed and fixed is rotated to be parallel to the conveying plane, the suction cup arm moves down to move the suction cup to the lower side of the conveying roller. During this process, air is injected into the suction cup to enable the suction cup to separate from the original glass, thereby placing the original glass on the conveying plane formed by the conveying roller and conveying it to the next production process; the design of the above-mentioned flip shaft can enable all suction cup arms on the same flip bracket to move synchronously, which is beneficial to improving the stability and accuracy of the two-way glass retrieval machine when taking and unloading films.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the utility model are:

[0030] The utility model unifies the conveying structures on the feeding station, storage station, shuttle and loading station, and uniformly adopts roller assemblies to convey the glass rack, so that the glass rack can flow smoothly between various stations, thereby improving the stability and transmission efficiency of the operation of the storage system; further, the first roller can limit the bottom plate of the glass rack in the vertical direction, and the second roller limits the bottom plate of the glass rack in the horizontal direction, and both of them are movable with the bottom plate in the longitudinal direction, and both are sliding friction, and the resistance is very small, so the glass rack can slide freely with the roller assembly in the longitudinal direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0046] The storage system of the original glass sheets includes a feeding station 3, a storage station 2, a movable guide rail 6, a shuttle 1, a loading station 4 and a sheet fetcher 5. There are multiple storage stations 2, and the storage stations 2 are arranged on one side or both sides of the movable guide rail 6. The shuttle 1 can be movably installed on the movable guide rail 6. The shuttle 1 can be aligned with all the storage stations 2, the feeding stations 3 and the loading stations 4. The feeding stations 3, the storage stations 2 and the loading stations 4 can be mutually transmitted through the shuttle 1. A glass rack 7 for stacking glass is provided on the feeding stations 3, the storage stations 2, the shuttle 1 and the loading stations 4 at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the guide rail. A roller assembly 8, the roller assembly includes a roller bracket, a vertically arranged first roller 82 and a horizontally arranged second roller 83, the first roller 82 can be rotatably installed on the left and right sides of the roller bracket, the lower end of the glass frame 7 is provided with two parallel bottom plates 72, the lower part of the inner side surface of the bottom plate 72 is provided with a slide groove 721 along the length direction of the bottom plate 72, the slide groove 721 can accommodate the first roller 82 and make the first roller 82 roll along the slide groove 721, the second roller 83 can be rotatably installed on the upper side of the roller bracket, the edge of the second roller 83 can abut against the inner side surface of the bottom plate 72 and roll along the length direction of the bottom plate 72.

[0047] The storage system unifies the conveying structures on the feeding station 3, the storage station 2, the shuttle 1 and the loading station 4, and uniformly adopts roller assemblies to convey the glass rack 7, so that the glass rack 7 can flow smoothly between various stations, thereby improving the stability and transmission efficiency of the operation of the storage system; further, the above-mentioned first roller 82 can limit the bottom plate 72 of the glass rack 7 in the vertical direction, and the second roller 83 limits the bottom plate 72 of the glass rack 7 in the horizontal direction, and both of them are movable with the bottom plate 72 in the longitudinal direction, and both are sliding friction, and the resistance is very small, so the glass rack 7 can slide freely with the roller assembly in the longitudinal direction.

[0048] Furthermore, the roller bracket includes a horizontal support plate 811 and vertical support plates 812 fixed at both ends of the horizontal support plate 811, the two vertical support plates 812 are arranged in parallel, a first shaft 84 is passed through the two vertical support plates 812, a first roller 82 is rotatably mounted on both ends of the first shaft 84, the first roller 82 is located on the outer side of the vertical support plate 812, and a vertically arranged second shaft 85 is fixed on the upper end surfaces of the left and right ends of the horizontal support plate 811, and the second roller 83 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the second shaft 85; the roller bracket also It includes an adjusting rod 86, a vertical support plate 812 is provided with a slot 813 with an upper opening, the first rotating shaft 84 is inserted into the slot 813 from the opening, the adjusting rod 86 is vertically arranged and passes through the first rotating shaft 84, and two adjusting nuts 87 are threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 86, and the two adjusting nuts 87 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first rotating shaft 84; all the first rollers 82 on the feeding station 3, the storage station 2, the loading station 4 and the shuttle 1 are located on the same horizontal plane, and all the second rollers 83 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0049] In this storage system, the vertical support plate 812 is directly fixedly connected to the bottom frame of the corresponding workstation. Therefore, there will be a certain error in the spacing and height between the two vertical support plates 812 of the same roller bracket after fixing. The first roller 82 is installed at both ends of the first rotating shaft 84. As long as the size of the first rotating shaft 84 is consistent, the spacing between the first rollers can be ensured to be consistent, so that the first rollers 82 of each roller assembly on the same workstation are aligned in the longitudinal direction, so that the first roller 82 can better cooperate with the slide groove 721, so that the glass rack 7 can move more smoothly along the roller assembly; the design of the second roller 83 can limit the bottom plate 72 of the glass rack 7. This prevents the glass rack 7 from deviating to the left or right, causing the outer side surface of the first roller to directly abut against the bottom of the slide groove 721 to generate sliding friction, resulting in damage to the first roller 82 or the slide groove 721, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the present storage system during operation and making the movement of the glass rack 7 smoother; the design of the card slot 813 on the vertical support plate 812 cooperates with the adjusting rod 86 and the adjusting nut 87 to adjust the height of the first rotating shaft 84, thereby eliminating interference from external factors such as the height of the ground and the base frames of each workstation, ensuring that the upper edges of the first rollers 82 of all roller assemblies are located on the same horizontal plane, further improving the smoothness and stability of the present storage system during transportation.

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, the glass rack 7 includes a support frame 71, a bottom plate 72 and a connecting plate 73. The bottom plates 72 have two pieces and are arranged in parallel. The two bottom plates 72 have sliding grooves 721 arranged on the opposite sides along the length direction of the bottom plates 72. The upper parts of the two bottom plates 72 are fixedly connected by a plurality of connecting plates 73. The support frame 71 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bottom plate 72. The support frame 71 is L-shaped. The bottom and side of the support frame 71 are both installed with anti-slip strips 711. The structure of the glass rack 7 can make the glass rack 7 better cooperate with the roller assembly and transmit between various stations. The L-shaped support frame 71 is designed to facilitate the material collection of the original glass piece. The design of the anti-slip strip 711 can prevent the original glass piece from sliding and breaking during the movement of the glass rack 7 between various stations, which is conducive to improving the stability of the storage system when working.

[0051] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the shuttle 1 includes a shuttle frame 11 slidably connected to the movable guide rail 6 and a frame driving member 15 for driving the glass frame 7 to move along the roller assembly. The roller assembly is fixed to the bottom of the shuttle frame 11 along the longitudinal interval. The front, rear, left and right sides of the shuttle frame 11 are respectively fixedly connected with a first protective frame 12 and a second protective frame 13. The glass frame 7 can be slidably installed between the first protective frame 12 and the second protective frame 13. The first protective frame 12 is higher than the second protective frame 13. The second protective frame 13 is rotatably connected with a pressure rod 14 for squeezing the glass original piece toward the first protective frame 12. The frame driving member 15 is provided with two symmetrically arranged positioning claws 16 and a claw driving member 17 for driving the positioning claws 16 to move up and down. Positioning rods 74 are connected to both ends of the bottom plate 72. The positioning claws 16 can move downward and be fixedly connected with the corresponding positioning rods 74. The design of the first protection frame 12 and the second protection frame 13 can support the glass rack 7, and the design of the pressure rod 14 can press the original glass piece against the glass rack 7 to prevent the original glass piece from sliding or vibrating when the shuttle 1 moves. In the frame drive 15, the positioning claw 16 on the left side can be clamped and fixed with the positioning rod 74 on the right side of the bottom plate 72, and the positioning claw 16 on the right side can be clamped and fixed with the positioning rod 74 on the left side of the bottom plate 72. This design makes it easy for the positioning claw 16 to pull the glass rack 7 out of each station and enter the shuttle 1, or push the glass rack 7 out of the shuttle and enter each station.

[0052] Furthermore, the lower end of the frame driving member 15 is fixedly connected to the claw base 18, and the positioning claw 16 includes a claw body 161 and a claw swing arm 162. One end of the claw swing arm 162 is rotatably connected to the claw base 18, and one side of the claw body 161 is fixedly connected to the other end of the claw swing arm 162.

The claw driving member 17 can not only drive the claw body 161 to rotate so that it can be engaged with the positioning rod 74, but also can continue to apply pressure to the claw body 161 after the claw body 161 and the positioning rod 74 are engaged and fixed, so that the two can be firmly fixed.

[0053] Furthermore, a positioning member 10 is installed on the side of the feeding station 3 and the loading station 4 away from the movable guide rail 6. The positioning member 10 includes a positioning seat 101, a positioning plate 102, a positioning cylinder 103, a positioning swing arm 104 and a connecting shaft 105. The connecting shaft 105 can be rotatably installed on the positioning seat 101. The positioning plate 102 and the positioning swing arm 104 are respectively fixed at both ends of the connecting shaft 105. The positioning cylinder 103 is connected to the positioning swing arm 104 and can drive the positioning shaft to rotate. The lower end of the positioning plate 102 is provided with a positioning slot 1021 that can be engaged with the positioning rod 74. The original glass sheets on the feeding station 3 will be placed on the glass rack 7 by hoisting, and the sheet removal machine 5 at the loading station 4 will remove the glass on the glass rack 7. Both have high requirements on the firmness of the connection between the glass rack 7 and the stations; the design of the above-mentioned positioning member 10 can better fix the glass rack 7. Only when the positioning cylinder 103 drives the positioning plate 102 to move upward and the positioning rod 74 is disengaged from the positioning slot 1021, the glass rack 7 can be moved out from the feeding station 3 and the loading station 4.

[0054] Furthermore, a limiting member 9 is installed on the side of the feeding station 3 and / or the storage station 2 and / or the loading station 4 away from the movable guide rail 6. The limiting member 9 includes a limiting base 91, a limiting roller 92 and an elastic member 93 or a limiting driving member. The limiting roller 92 is located above the limiting base 91 and is movably connected to the limiting base 91 through a limiting swing arm. The elastic member 93 or the limiting driving member can drive the limiting roller 92 to move upward. The lower sides of the connecting plates 73 at both ends of the glass frame 7 are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks 75. The lower ends of the limiting blocks 75 are provided with limiting grooves 751 for accommodating the limiting roller 92. Both sides of the limiting grooves 751 in the lower side surfaces of the limiting blocks 75 are provided with inclined surfaces 752 which are higher outside and lower inside. The design of the above-mentioned limit member 9 enables the glass rack 7 to be fixed to the corresponding feeding station 3, storage station and loading station 4 in a purely mechanical way, and when the shuttle 1 applies an outward pulling force to it, the limit roller 92 will disengage from the limit groove 751, so that the glass rack 7 can be smoothly pulled away. It has a simple structure, convenient operation and high stability.

[0055] like Figure 10-13As shown, the film taking machine 5 is arranged on one side of the loading station 4 or between two loading stations 4, and a plurality of conveying rollers 52 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction on the film taking frame 51 of the film taking machine 5, and the upper edges of the plurality of conveying rollers 52 form a conveying plane, and a conveying driving member for driving all the conveying rollers 52 to rotate synchronously is arranged on the film taking frame 51, and a flipping bracket 54 is hinged on both sides of the film taking frame 51 in the horizontal direction, and a flipping driving member 53 for driving the corresponding flipping bracket 54 to rotate around the hinge is fixed on the film taking frame 51, and a plurality of flipping arms 55 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction on the inner sides of the two flipping brackets 54, and the flipping arms 55 on the two flipping brackets 54 are staggered, and at least one conveying roller 52 is arranged between all adjacent flipping arms 55, and a suction cup 561 assembly for fixing the glass is arranged on the top of each flipping arm 55 and can be raised and lowered, and the suction cup 561 in the suction cup 561 assembly can be moved to the lower side of the conveying plane. The film taking machine 5 can take films from both sides. When the glass on the glass rack 7 on one side of the film taking machine 5 is taken, the film can be taken directly from the glass rack 7 on the other side of the film taking machine 5, which can achieve seamless connection, greatly reduce the standby time of the film taking machine 5, and have higher working efficiency. The film taking machine 5 is realized by two flip brackets 54 and the flip arms 55 and suction cup 561 components fixed on the corresponding flip brackets 54. The staggered arrangement of the flip arms 55 on the two flip brackets 54 can not only avoid mutual interference between the flip arms 55 on the two flip brackets 54 during operation, but also make the distance between the two adjacent flip arms 55 on the same flip bracket 54 stable, so that the film taking machine 5 can transport smaller glass and has wider adaptability; at least one conveying roller 52 is provided between the adjacent flip arms 55 to ensure that the distance between the conveying rollers 52 is small, so that the horizontal conveying of the glass is more stable. The at least one conveying roller 52 provided between the adjacent flip arms 55 refers to all the flip arms 55 of the two flip brackets 54, rather than the adjacent flip arms 55 on a single flip bracket 54.

[0056] Furthermore, the suction cup 561 assembly includes a suction cup arm 56, a suction cup 561, an external shaft 571 and an internal shaft 572. The suction cup arm 56 is parallel to the flip arm 55 and is arranged above the flip arm 55. The external shaft 571 and the internal shaft 572 are arranged in parallel. The lower ends of all external shafts 571 are fixedly connected to the flip shaft 58 parallel to the flip bracket 54. There are multiple suction cups 561 and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the suction cup arm 56. The outer end of the suction cup arm 56 is connected to the outer end of the flip arm 55 through the external shaft 571, and the inner end or middle part of the suction cup arm 56 is connected to the outer end of the flip arm 55 through the internal shaft 572. The flip arm 55 is provided with a lifting drive 59 for driving the suction cup arm 56 to approach or move away from the flip arm 55. The suction cup arm 56 that can move relative to the flip arm 55 and the design of the external connecting shaft 571 and the internal connecting shaft 572 in the film retrieval machine 5 can ensure that the suction cup arm 56 remains parallel to the flip arm 55 when moving, and can also facilitate the suction cup arm 56 to drive the suction cup 561 to extend into the glass frame 7, making it easier to adsorb and fix the original glass behind; at the same time, after the original glass to be adsorbed and fixed is rotated to be parallel to the conveying plane, the suction cup arm 56 moves downward to move the suction cup 561 to the lower side of the conveying roller 52. During this process, air is injected into the suction cup 561 to enable the suction cup 561 to separate from the original glass, thereby placing the original glass on the conveying plane formed by the conveying roller 52 and conveying it to the next production process; the design of the above-mentioned flip shaft 58 can enable all suction cup arms 56 on the same flip bracket 54 to move synchronously, which is beneficial to improving the stability and accuracy of the bidirectional glass film retrieval machine 5 when taking and unloading films.
