[0056] The following will describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the embodiments of the present utility model, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0057] Figure 1 Schematic structural diagram of the flipping device for the refrigerator glass according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 4 Schematic structural diagram of the flipping device for the refrigerator glass according to an embodiment of the present utility model. In Figure 1 and Figure 4Among them, the flipping device may include a conveying frame, multiple groups of conveying components, a driving component, and a flipping component 9. Specifically, the conveying component may include two groups of elastic conveyor belts 10.

[0058] Multiple groups of conveying components are arranged in a linear array in the conveying frame and are used to cooperate to clamp and convey the glass. The conveying component includes two groups of elastic conveyor belts 10. The two groups of elastic conveyor belts 10 are distributed vertically, and the distance between the two groups of elastic conveyor belts 10 is less than the thickness of the glass. The driving component is connected to multiple groups of conveying components and is used to synchronously drive the two elastic conveyor belts 10 in each group of conveying components to rotate in opposite directions. The flipping component 9 is connected to multiple groups of conveying components and is used to drive multiple groups of conveying components to flip synchronously.

[0059] When the glass needs to be flipped, first convey the glass to the entrance of the conveying frame, that is, when the two elastic conveyor belts 10 in each group of conveying components contact the end of the glass. Start the driving component, and the two elastic conveyor belts 10 in each group convey the glass until the glass moves to the middle position of the elastic conveyor belt 10. At this time, the glass is stably clamped and limited by the elastic conveyor belt 10. Then start the flipping component 9 to flip the conveying frame, multiple groups of conveying components, and the clamped glass. After flipping, the driving component continues to convey the glass out of the elastic conveyor belt 10 to complete the flipping operation of the glass.

[0060] The flipping of traditional refrigerator glass is generally achieved by using a robotic arm in cooperation with a suction cup for adsorption. However, this method has a high cost and high requirements for the suction cup, and it is easy to cause flipping failure when the suction cup fails; moreover, the suction cups on the robotic arm are relatively fixed in distribution, and for larger or smaller refrigerator glass, the stability and reliability of the robotic arm flipping are poor. In this embodiment of the present invention, the method of using multiple groups of two opposite elastic conveyor belts 10 to clamp and convey the glass can, on the one hand, safely and stably clamp and limit the glass, making the flipping safer and more stable, and on the other hand, can also effectively convey the glass, with higher flipping efficiency. In addition, the elastic conveyor belt 10 can protect the surface of the glass and avoid scratches, further protecting the reliability of glass conveying.

[0061] In this embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the conveying frame may include a first support frame 3, a second support frame 4, two groups of cross plates 5, and multiple groups of connecting plates 6.

[0062] The second support frame 4 and the first support frame 3 are distributed parallel to each other vertically, and multiple sets of conveying components are arranged between the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4. Two sets of cross plates 5 are respectively arranged inside the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4, and multiple sets of connecting plates 6 are respectively arranged at the corners of the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4. The two ends of the connecting plate 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4.

[0063] Between the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4, and multiple sets of connecting plates 6 are located at the corners of the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4. Therefore, ports for glass input and output can be formed to facilitate the contact between the glass and the elastic conveyor belt. The two sets of cross plates 5 can fix the multiple sets of conveying components and improve the stability of the conveying components.

[0064] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in Figures 1 and Figure 2 shown, the conveying component may further include two sets of first fixing seats 13 and two sets of conveying wheels 14.

[0065] The two sets of first fixing seats 13 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4. Each set of first fixing seats 13 includes two first fixing seats 13, and the two first fixing seats 13 are respectively arranged on two opposite side edges of the first support frame 3 or the second support frame 4 close to the two ends of the elastic conveyor belt 10, that is, the two side edges in the conveying direction. The two sets of conveying wheels 14 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4. Each set of conveying wheels 14 includes two conveying wheels 14, and the conveying wheels 14 are rotatably arranged on the corresponding first fixing seats 13. The two conveying wheels 14 in each set cooperate with the elastic conveyor belt 10 to convey the glass.

[0066] When the end of the glass contacts the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 of each set of conveying components, the two conveying wheels 14 distributed vertically rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 to move in opposite directions to stably convey the glass.

[0067] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the conveying component may further include two sets of second fixing seats 12 and two sets of support plates 11.

[0068] The mutually remote ends of the two sets of second fixing seats 12 are respectively connected to the two sets of cross plates 5, the two sets of support plates 11 are respectively arranged inside the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10, and the opposite ends of the two sets of second fixing seats 12 are respectively connected to the side walls of the two sets of support plates 11.

[0069] Two sets of support plates 11 are arranged inside the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10. On the one hand, it can improve the stability of the conveying structure, and on the other hand, it can also support the elastic conveyor belts 10, further improving the stability of the elastic conveyor belts 10 for conveying glass.

[0070] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the drive assembly may include two sets of rotating shafts 15, a linkage assembly 19, and a rotating assembly.

[0071] The rotating shaft 15 movably penetrates through the first fixed seat 13 at the same height and fixedly penetrates through the conveyor wheel 14 at the same height. The linkage assembly 19 is arranged at one end of the two sets of rotating shafts 15 and is used to drive the two sets of rotating shafts 15 to rotate synchronously and in opposite directions to each other. The rotating assembly is arranged on the conveying frame, and the output end of the rotating assembly is connected to one of the rotating shafts 15 and is used to drive one of the rotating shafts 15 to rotate.

[0072] When it is necessary to drive the two sets of opposite elastic conveyor belts 10 to rotate in opposite directions to each other, the rotating assembly is started, and the rotating assembly drives one of the rotating shafts 15 to rotate. One of the rotating shafts 15 drives the other rotating shaft 15 to rotate in opposite directions to each other through the linkage assembly 19, thereby realizing the driving of the multi-group conveyor wheels 14 at two heights distributed up and down to rotate in opposite directions to each other.

[0073] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the linkage assembly 19 may include a first gear 17 and a second gear 18.

[0074] The first gear 17 is fixedly sleeved at one end of one of the rotating shafts 15, the second gear 18 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the other rotating shaft 15, and the first gear 17 is meshed and connected with the second gear 18.

[0075] When the rotating assembly drives one of the rotating shafts 15 to rotate, one of the rotating shafts 15 drives the other rotating shaft 15 to rotate in opposite directions to each other through the meshing action of the first gear 17 and the second gear 18. This kind of linkage structure is simple and reliable.

[0076] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the rotating assembly may include a first driving motor 16, a first sprocket 20, a second sprocket 7, and a transmission chain 21.

[0077] The first driving motor 16 is arranged on the first support frame 3 and is close to the other end of one of the rotating shafts 15. The first sprocket 20 is arranged at the output end of the first driving motor 16, and the second sprocket 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of one of the rotating shafts 15. The transmission chain 21 is sleeved on the outside of the first sprocket 20 and the second sprocket 7 and is meshed and connected with the first sprocket 20 and the second sprocket 7.

[0078] When it is necessary to drive one of the rotating shafts 15 to rotate, the first driving motor 16 is started, and the first driving motor 16 drives the first sprocket 20 to rotate. Due to the meshing effect of the transmission chain 21 with the first sprocket 20 and the second sprocket 7 respectively, the first sprocket 20 can drive the second sprocket 7 to rotate synchronously, and then the second sprocket 7 can drive one of the rotating shafts 15 to rotate. Specifically, by arranging the second sprocket 7 close to the other end of one of the rotating shafts 15 and arranging the first gear 17 at one end of one of the rotating shafts 15, transmission interference can be effectively avoided, and the transmission stability of the two groups of rotating shafts 15 can be improved.

[0079] In this embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the flipping assembly 9 may include two groups of support seats 1 and two groups of second driving motors 8.

[0080] The two groups of support seats 1 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the conveying frame perpendicular to the conveying direction of the elastic conveyor belt 10, the two groups of second driving motors 8 are respectively arranged on the two groups of support seats 1, and the output ends of the two groups of second driving motors 8 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the conveying frame.

[0081] When it is necessary to drive the conveying frame and the glass inside it to flip, the second driving motor 8 is started, and the second driving motor 8 drives the conveying frame and the glass inside it to flip through the support seat 1. The flipping operation is simple and the flipping efficiency is high.

[0082] On the other hand, the present utility model also provides a flipping system for refrigerator glass. Specifically, the flipping system may include a flipping device and two groups of conveying lines 2. Specifically, the flipping device may include a conveying frame, multiple groups of conveying components, a driving component, and a flipping assembly 9. Specifically, the conveying component may include two groups of elastic conveyor belts 10.

[0083] Two sets of conveyor lines 2 are respectively arranged at the front end and the rear end of the flipping device. The conveyor lines 2 are used to convey the glass to the flipping device or output the glass from the flipping device. Multiple sets of conveying components are arranged in a linear array in the conveying frame and are used to cooperate to clamp and convey the glass. The conveying component includes two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10. The two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 are distributed vertically, and the distance between the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 is smaller than the thickness of the glass. The driving component is connected to multiple sets of conveying components and is used to synchronously drive the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 in each set of conveying components to rotate in opposite directions. The flipping component 9 is connected to multiple sets of conveying components and is used to drive multiple sets of conveying components to flip synchronously.

[0084] When the glass needs to be flipped, first convey the glass to the entrance of the conveying frame, that is, when the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 in each set of conveying components contact the end of the glass. Start the driving component, and the two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10 in each set convey the glass until the glass moves to the middle position of the elastic conveyor belt 10. At this time, the glass is stably clamped and limited by the elastic conveyor belt 10. Then start the flipping component 9, and the conveying frame, multiple sets of conveying components and the clamped glass can be flipped. After the flipping is completed, the driving component continues to convey the glass out of the elastic conveyor belt 10 to complete the flipping operation of the glass.

[0085] In this embodiment of the present utility model, the specific structure of the conveyor line 2 includes but is not limited to the way of driving multiple sets of conveyor rollers to rotate by a motor known to those skilled in the art.

[0086] Through the above technical solution, the flipping device and flipping system for refrigerator glass provided by the present utility model start the driving component. When multiple sets of conveying components contact the end of the glass, the two sets of opposite elastic conveyor belts 10 rotate in opposite directions to move the glass to the middle position of multiple sets of conveying components. At this time, the two sets of opposite elastic conveyor belts 10 in multiple sets respectively stably limit and clamp multiple positions of the glass. Then start the flipping component 9 to drive multiple sets of conveying components to flip synchronously and drive the glass inside to flip synchronously. After the flipping is completed, the driving component synchronously drives the two sets of opposite elastic conveyor belts 10 in multiple sets to convey the flipped glass to the next process. By using the method of clamping and limiting the glass with two sets of elastic conveyor belts 10, on the one hand, the glass can be safely and stably clamped, making the flipping safer and more stable. On the other hand, the glass can also be effectively conveyed, and the flipping efficiency is higher.
