Description

Technical Field

[0001] A sucker purging device applicable to a stacker belongs to the technical field of glass production. Background Art

[0002] During the glass production process, a stacker is a common glass transfer device. Glass plates are transported on a roller path. After being transported to the end of the roller path, the glass plates are transferred to a stacking table by a transfer device. When a certain number of glass plates have accumulated on the stacking table, the glass plates at the stacking table are then transferred. Currently, in the field of glass production, the most common technical solution is to set up suckers on a sucker frame, and transfer the glass plates from the roller path to the stacking table through the suckers.

[0003] With the continuous development of technology in the glass industry, many glass plates need to be coated on their surfaces. When transferring coated glass plates through suckers, in order to prevent the suckers from damaging the coating on the glass surface during the transfer process, sucker sleeves are sleeved on the surfaces of the suckers. And anti-mold powder needs to be sprayed on the surface of the glass during the production process. Therefore, after long-term use, a large amount of anti-mold powder will adhere to the sucker sleeves. When the anti-mold powder accumulates to a certain extent, it will affect the suction force of the suckers, resulting in the suckers slipping when sucking the glass, and there is a risk of the glass plates falling during the transfer process.

[0004] To avoid the falling of glass plates due to the decrease in the suction force of the suckers, the suckers need to be purged during the production process to blow off the anti-mold powder adhering to the surface of the sucker sleeves. Currently, most of the purging work for the suckers is completed manually, which not only increases the labor intensity of the workers, but also is prone to omission, and there are certain potential safety hazards. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is: overcoming the deficiencies of the prior art, providing a sucker purging device applicable to a stacker, which avoids a large amount of adhesion of powdery substances on the sucker sleeves outside the suckers by setting up purging pipes, thereby avoiding the problem of the decrease in the suction force of the suckers caused by the adhesion of powdery substances, and improving the reliability of the stacker when transferring glass plates.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve its technical problems is: the sucker purging device applicable to a stacker is characterized in that: it includes a horizontally arranged support rod, the support rod is spaced from the fixed surface, a moving sleeve corresponding to the sucker one by one is sleeved outside the support rod, a pipe fixing sleeve is arranged on the outer side of the moving sleeve, a purging pipe is adjustably installed in the pipe fixing sleeve, the air outlet end of the purging pipe faces the sucker, and the air inlet end of the purging pipe is connected to an air supply pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Figures 1 to 3 This is the best embodiment of the present utility model. The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the accompanying Figures 1 to 3 drawings.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, a sucker purging device applicable to a stacker includes a support rod 8 arranged along the side of a roller rack 7. The support rod 8 is horizontally arranged and is spaced from the side wall of the roller rack 7. Similar to the prior art, a plurality of rollers 6 are arranged in the roller rack, and the glass plate is conveyed on all the rollers 6.

[0022] On the outer sides of both ends of the roller rack 7, a traveling frame 1 is respectively arranged. On the tops of the traveling frames 1 at both ends, a traveling crane 2 is arranged, and the traveling crane 2 reciprocates along the traveling frame 1. A plurality of sucker frames 16 are arranged on the side of the traveling crane 2. The sucker frames 16 are horizontally arranged with the traveling crane 2. An elevating arm 3 is arranged at the end of the sucker frame 6, and a sucker 5 is arranged at the bottom of the elevating arm 3. The sucker 5 is located above the roller 6. The sucker 5 reciprocates with the traveling crane 2. When the sucker 5 moves above the roller 6, the elevating arm 3 descends, and the glass plate is adsorbed by the sucker 5. After adsorption, the elevating arm 3 rises, enabling the glass plate to move upward away from the surface of the roller 6. Then the traveling crane 2 moves in the reverse direction along the traveling frame 1 to transfer the glass plate.

[0023] Combined with Figure 3 , the support rod 8 is spaced and fixed to the roller rack 7 through a connecting rod 13 on the side of the support rod 8. A plurality of connecting rods 13 are arranged along the length direction of the support rod 8. A plurality of moving sleeves 12 are sleeved outside the support rod 8. An upper fastening bolt 11 is arranged on the upper part of the moving sleeve 12. The upper fastening bolt 11 radially penetrates the moving sleeve 12. When the upper fastening bolt 11 is tightened, the moving sleeve 12 no longer rotates or axially moves relative to the support rod 8.

[0024] A pipe fixing sleeve 15 is fixed on the outer side of the moving sleeve 12. A purging pipe 4 passes through the inner cavity of the pipe fixing sleeve 15. The axis of the pipe fixing sleeve 15 is perpendicular to the axis of the moving sleeve 12, so that the purging pipe 4 is vertically arranged. A lower fastening bolt 14 is also arranged on the side of the pipe fixing sleeve 15. The lower fastening bolt 14 radially penetrates the pipe fixing sleeve 15. When the lower fastening bolt 14 is tightened, the purging pipe 4 is locked.

[0025] The lower port of the purging pipe 4 is connected with a hose 9 through a joint. The other end of the hose 9 is connected into a gas supply pipe 10. The high-pressure gas in the gas supply pipe 10 is blown out from the purging pipe 4 through the hose 9. The upper port of the purging pipe 4 is vertically upward. The number of purging pipes 4 corresponds to the number of suckers 5 one by one. When the sucker 5 moves to the position of the purging pipe 4, the sucker sleeve sleeved outside the sucker 5 is purged by the high-pressure gas blown out from the purging pipe 4.

[0026] The specific working process and working principle are as follows:

[0027] Loosen the upper fastening bolt 11, move and rotate the movable sleeve 12 to make the purging pipe 4 located directly below the corresponding suction cup 5, and then tighten the upper fastening bolt 11. Loosen the lower fastening bolt 14, adjust the distance between the upper port of the purging pipe 4 and the suction cup 5, and then tighten the lower fastening bolt 14 to lock the purging pipe 4.

[0028] The suction cup 5 reciprocates with the traveling crane 2. A detection switch (such as a travel switch) for detecting the moving position of the traveling crane 2 is provided on the traveling crane frame 1. When the traveling crane 2 triggers the detection switch, the suction cup 5 is just about to move to directly above the corresponding purging pipe 4. At this time, high-pressure gas is introduced into the air supply pipe 10. When the suction cup 5 just moves to directly above the corresponding purging pipe 4, the high-pressure gas is blown out from the purging pipe 4 to purge the suction cup sleeve sleeved outside the suction cup 5.

[0029] When the suction cup 5 moves above the roller 6, the lifting arm 3 descends, and the glass plate is adsorbed by the suction cup 5. After adsorption, the lifting arm 3 rises to move the glass plate upward away from the surface of the roller 6. Then the traveling crane 2 moves in the reverse direction along the traveling crane frame 2 to transfer the glass plate. When the traveling crane 2 triggers the detection switch again during its return journey, the supply of high-pressure gas into the purging pipe 4 is stopped, and so on.

[0030] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution content of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
