[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , as an alternative embodiment of the present application, this embodiment discloses a clamping and stacking device for optical glass strips, including a sliding plate 1 and a guide rail module. The guide rail module includes two mutually parallel sliding rails 2. A shock-absorbing plate 4 is further connected to the bottom of the two sliding rails 2, and the two shock-absorbing plates 4 are connected to the external foundation;

[0037] Through the shock-absorbing plate 4, the sliding rail 2 can be isolated from the external environment, avoiding adverse effects of external vibrations on the accuracy of the sliding rail 2 and the entire clamping and stacking device;

[0038] Two sliders 3 are slidably connected to each of the two sliding rails 2. The 4 sliders 3 are respectively disposed at the four corners of the sliding plate 1 and are respectively connected to the sliding plate 1 through connecting bolts, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the sliding plate 1 and the sliding rails 2;

[0039] A driving module is further provided on the sliding plate 1. The driving module includes a driving motor 5 and a driving rack 6. The driving motor 5 is disposed on the sliding plate 1. A support bar is provided on any one of the shock-absorbing plates 4. The support bar is arranged parallel to the sliding rail 2. The driving rack 6 is disposed on the top surface of the sliding rail 2, and the rack is arranged parallel to the sliding rail 2;

[0040] A driving gear 7 is further provided on the output shaft of the driving motor 5. The driving gear 7 meshes with the driving rack 6, thereby controlling the sliding plate 1 to reciprocate on the sliding rail 2 through the driving motor 5;

[0041] The clamping and stacking device further includes a positioning module, which includes a plurality of photoelectric sensors 8 and the same number of mounting seats 9. It should be noted that the photoelectric sensors 8 are groove-type photoelectric sensors 8, and the number of the photoelectric sensors 8 is determined according to the preset number of workstations. Among them, during the working process of the device in this application, there are a starting workstation, a clamping workstation, and a stacking workstation. Therefore, a total of 3 photoelectric sensors 8 and 3 mounting seats 9 are provided;

[0042] Among them, the mounting seat 9 is a plate-shaped structure in an L-shaped structure, with a plurality of bolt holes provided at one end and an adjustment sliding groove 11 provided at the other end;

[0043] At the same time, an installation groove 10 is also provided on the support bar. The installation groove 10 is arranged along the axis direction parallel to the support bar. Assuming the direction of the support bar where the slide rail 2 is located facing another slide rail 2 is the inner side surface of the support bar, then the installation groove 10 is provided on the inner side surface. Along the axis direction of the support bar, the installation groove 10 penetrates through both end surfaces of the support bar; at the same time, the installation groove 10 also penetrates through the inner side surface; the cross-section of the installation groove 10 is a T-shaped structure;

[0044] A plurality of groups of connecting screws are arranged in the installation groove 10. Each group of connecting screws corresponds to each of the mounting seats 9 respectively. The bolt holes on the mounting seat 9 correspond to each of the connecting screws respectively. The stepped surface of the connecting screw abuts against the stepped surface of the installation groove 10, so as to achieve limit;

[0045] The photoelectric sensor 8 is provided with a screw hole, and a connecting screw is slidably arranged in the adjustment sliding groove 11; the photoelectric sensor 8 is connected to the mounting seat 9 through the connecting screw;

[0046] Through the above connection method, the horizontal and vertical adjustment of the position of the photoelectric sensor 8 can be realized within the sliding plane of the slide plate 1, improving the accuracy of the position adjustment of the photoelectric sensor 8, and further improving the positioning accuracy of the slide plate 1;

[0047] A lifting module is also provided on the slide plate 1. The lifting module includes a connecting frame 12, a lifting plate 13, and a driver 14. An installation hole is also provided in the middle of the slide plate 1. The connecting plate 17 is inserted into the installation hole, and the connecting plate 17 is connected to the slide plate 1 through bolts; the driver 14 is preferably a servo electric cylinder, and the driver 14 is connected to the connecting plate 17;

[0048] The lifting plate 13 is arranged directly below the slide plate 1, and the lifting plate 13 is arranged parallel to the slide plate 1. The end actuator (telescopic rod) of the driver 14 is connected to the lifting plate 13 through bolts, so as to control the lifting or lowering of the lifting plate 13 through the driver 14;

[0049] Furthermore, a guiding and limiting component is also arranged between the lifting plate 13 and the sliding plate 1. The guiding and limiting component includes at least one set of optical axis 15 and linear motion bearing 16. The linear motion bearing 16 is arranged on the sliding plate 1. Along the vertical direction, the bottom end of the optical axis 15 is connected to the lifting plate 13, and its top end is slidably inserted and connected to the linear motion bearing 16;

[0050] It should be noted that two sets of the optical axis 15 and the linear motion bearing 16 are preferably arranged, and the top ends of the two optical axes 15 are connected by a stabilizing plate;

[0051] During the actual working process, the optical axis 15 can only slide along the vertical direction. Therefore, the optical axis 15 can effectively limit the shaking of the lifting plate 13 during the lifting process, improve the working stability, and at the same time avoid damaging the glass strip due to the shaking of the lifting plate 13;

[0052] Furthermore, a clamping module is also arranged on the lifting plate 13. The clamping module includes a connecting plate 17, a first clamping arm 18 and a second clamping arm 19. The connecting plate 17 is located directly below the lifting plate 13 and is arranged in parallel with the lifting plate 13;

[0053] A number of buffer rods 21 are also arranged on the connecting plate 17. The same number of linear motion bearings 16 are arranged on the lifting plate 13. Each buffer rod 21 is arranged along the vertical direction, and at the same time each buffer rod 21 corresponds to each linear motion bearing 16 one by one. The top end of each buffer rod 21 is slidably inserted and connected to the corresponding linear motion bearing 16; at the same time, a limiting ring 22 is also arranged at the top end of each buffer rod 21. Along the vertical direction, the bottom surface of the limiting ring 22 abuts against the end face of the linear motion bearing 16 to prevent the buffer rod 21 from separating from the linear motion bearing 16;

[0054] Along the length direction or width direction of the connecting plate 17, the first clamping plate is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 17, the second clamping arm 19 is arranged on the other side of the connecting plate 17, and the first clamping arm 18 and the second clamping arm 19 are arranged opposite to each other; however, it should be noted that the first clamping arm 18 and the second clamping arm 19 can only clamp the glass strip along the width direction of the glass strip to be clamped and cannot clamp along the length direction. The reason is that when clamping along the width direction, the first clamping arm 18 and the second clamping arm 19 are closer together, which not only clamps more stably but also can avoid the glass breaking from the middle due to excessive clamping force.

[0055] Through the cooperation of the above-mentioned buffer rod 21 and the linear motion bearing 16, it can ensure that the connecting plate 17 and the attached clamping arms are in a relatively free state of sliding up and down in the vertical direction. When the clamping module collides with an external structure, under the action of an external force, it can retreat in the vertically upward direction, thereby avoiding a hard collision with the external structure and reducing the impact of the collision.

[0056] The top of the first clamping arm 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17; at the same time, a telescopic cylinder 20 is also provided on the connecting plate 17, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 20 is connected to the top of the second clamping arm 19, so as to drive the second clamping arm 19 to approach or move away from the first clamping arm 18 through the telescopic cylinder 20;

[0057] Protective pads 23 are provided in the areas of the first clamping arm 18 and the second clamping arm 19 for clamping the glass strip. The protective pads 23 are preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene blocks. The two protective pads 23 are arranged opposite to each other, and a clamping groove 24 in a V-shaped structure is provided on the surface of the two protective pads 23 facing each other;

[0058] The protective pads 23 can form a clamping buffer zone on the surface of the glass strip to reduce the adverse effects of the clamping force on the glass strip;

[0059] Secondly, during operation, the side of the glass strip is inserted into the clamping groove 24. While the inner side of the inclined clamping groove 24 is under the horizontal opposite extrusion force, it also has a component force in the vertically upward direction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the clamping of the glass strip.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the present application realizes the full-automatic operation of glass strip stacking, not only reducing the labor intensity of workers as much as possible, but also improving the efficiency of the stacking operation; and compared with the manual operation mode, workers no longer need to bend down frequently to carry, which is beneficial to protecting the physical health of workers;

[0061] Secondly, the materials stacked automatically by mechanical equipment are more neatly arranged, which can effectively improve the stability and safety of the material stack.

[0062] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application accordingly. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
