Detailed Embodiments
[0020] The following describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] This embodiment discloses a variable suction cup frame used in a float glass production line, which is used to grab and stack glass plates of different sizes. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the variable suction cup frame mainly includes a suction cup assembly frame 100 and an edge finding mechanism 200. In this embodiment, the core component of the suction cup assembly frame 100 is a horizontal frame 10 made of a hollow aluminum alloy profile, which is both light and strong. The rotating connection seat 40 is arranged on the side of the horizontal frame 10 away from the suction cup assembly, and is used to connect a robot arm or other lifting device to transport the glass plate.
[0023] Wherein, the suction cup assembly frame 100 includes a horizontal frame 10 arranged along the X-axis, a fixed suction cup group 20 arranged along the Y-axis, two mobile suction cup groups 30 arranged along the Y-axis and a rotating connecting seat 40, wherein the fixed suction cup group 20 is fixedly installed in the middle of the horizontal frame 10, and the two mobile suction cup groups 30 are fixedly installed on the horizontal frame 10 and are respectively located on both sides of the fixed suction cup group 20; the rotating connecting seat 40 is fixedly installed in the middle of the horizontal frame 10 and is located on the side of the horizontal frame 10 away from the fixed suction cup group 20 and the mobile suction cup group 30; wherein, the two mobile suction cup groups 30 are configured to move away from or approach each other on the X-axis under the drive of the cylinder drive mechanism 50 arranged on the horizontal frame 10, and each of the mobile suction cup groups 30 is fixedly installed with an X-axis moving mechanism 70 and a Y-axis moving mechanism 80 driven by a servo motor 60, and each of the power output ends of the X-axis moving mechanism 70 and the Y-axis moving mechanism 80 is provided with an edge finding mechanism 200.
[0024] In the specific implementation, the edge finding mechanism 200 in this embodiment adopts a commercially available photoelectric sensor. Each mobile suction cup group 30 is equipped with an edge finding mechanism 200, which is respectively installed at the power output end of the X-axis moving mechanism 70 and the Y-axis moving mechanism 80. When working, the edge finding mechanism 200 will measure the distance between the suction cup assembly frame 100 and the edge of the glass plate, and feed back the detection result to the external control system (PLC control cabinet). The control system controls the cylinder driving mechanism 50 to adjust the position of the mobile suction cup group 30 according to the received distance information, so that the width of the suction cup frame matches the width of the glass plate, and at the same time controls the servo motor 60 to drive the X-axis moving mechanism 70 and the Y-axis moving mechanism 80, driving the edge finding mechanism 200 to accurately locate the edge of the glass plate, and finally realizes the accurate positioning and grasping of the glass plate by the suction cup assembly frame 100 and the real-time position information provided by the edge finding mechanism 200 to avoid collision and ensure the safe transportation of the glass plate. For example, when a wider glass plate needs to be grasped, the control system will control the cylinder drive mechanism 50 to drive the two movable suction cup groups 30 to move outward to increase the width of the suction cup frame; conversely, when a narrower glass plate needs to be grasped, the movable suction cup group 30 is controlled to move inward to reduce the width of the suction cup frame.
[0025] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fixed suction cup group 20 includes a first longitudinal frame 21 and a first suction cup unit 22. There are two first longitudinal frames 21 provided on the transverse frame 10 along the X-axis, and a plurality of first suction cup units 22 are equidistantly spaced along the Y-axis on the two first longitudinal frames 21. In this way, by using multiple suction cup units 22 distributed on two longitudinal frames 21, the contact area between the suction cups and the glass plate is increased, thereby enhancing the adsorption force and improving the stability of grasping. Especially when handling larger-sized glass plates, it can effectively prevent the glass plate from slipping or tilting.
[0026] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the movable suction cup group 30 includes a second longitudinal frame 31, a third longitudinal frame 32, and a second suction cup unit 33. The length of the second longitudinal frame 31 is greater than that of the third longitudinal frame 32 and is located between the fixed suction cup group 20 and the third longitudinal frame 32. A plurality of second suction cup units 33 are equidistantly spaced along the Y-axis on the two second longitudinal frames 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32.
[0027] Specifically, the length of the second longitudinal frame 31 is twice the length of the third longitudinal frame 32. In this way, on the premise of meeting the load limit of the manipulator, the applicable range of the variable suction cup frame is maximally extended. The length of the second longitudinal frame 31 is designed to be twice the length of the third longitudinal frame 32. This 2:1 length ratio design enables the movable suction cup group 30 to have a wider adjustment range in the X-axis direction and can adapt to glass plates of various sizes. Specifically, when it is necessary to grasp a smaller-sized glass plate, the cylinder drive mechanism 50 will drive the movable suction cup group 30 to move inward. At this time, the shorter third longitudinal frame 32 will approach the fixed suction cup group 20, thereby reducing the overall width of the suction cup frame. Even if the width of the suction cup frame is reduced, the longer second longitudinal frame 31 and the suction cup units 33 thereon can still provide sufficient adsorption area and adsorption force to ensure the stable grasping of the glass plate and prevent slipping or tilting.
[0028] When it is necessary to grasp a larger-sized glass plate, the movable suction cup group 30 will move outward. At this time, the longer second longitudinal frame 31 extends outward, increasing the overall width of the suction cup frame. This design effectively expands the width adjustment range of the suction cup frame, enabling it to adapt to larger-sized glass plates. At the same time, this 2:1 length ratio also takes into account the weight balance of the suction cup frame. That is, since the movable suction cup group 30 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the transverse frame 10 and the length ratio of the second longitudinal frame 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32 is fixed, during the width adjustment process, the change in the center of gravity of the suction cup frame is relatively small, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the suction cup frame and reducing the load on the rotary connection seat 40 and the manipulator.
[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the first suction cup unit 22 includes a vacuum generating device 221, a hollow connecting rod 222 and a suction cup body 223 forming a negative pressure chamber, the edge of the suction cup body 223 is provided with a sealing lip 224, the sealing lip 224 is composed of at least three concentric annular sealing lips, and the thickness of each annular sealing lip gradually decreases toward the side away from the suction cup body 223; one end of the hollow connecting rod 222 is connected to the negative pressure chamber of the suction cup body 223, and the other end is used to connect the vacuum generating device 221; the hollow connecting rod 222 is movably connected to the suction cup body 223, so that the hollow connecting rod 222 and the suction cup body 223 can rotate relative to each other; the second suction cup unit 33 has the same structure as the first suction cup unit 22.
[0030] With this structural design, when the suction cup body 223 approaches the glass plate, the sealing lip is composed of at least three concentric annular sealing lips, and the thickness of each sealing lip gradually decreases from the inside to the outside. This design allows the suction cup to first contact the glass surface in a line contact manner when the suction cup approaches the glass plate. Even if there are slight unevenness, mildew-proof powder or other fine particles on the glass surface, this line contact can ensure that the suction cup quickly and tightly fits the glass surface. Subsequently, the vacuum generating device 221 quickly establishes a vacuum in the suction cup body 223 to achieve firm adsorption. The advantage of this movable connection design is that when the robot arm transports the glass plate and the glass plate tilts due to various reasons, the suction cup body 223 can automatically adjust the angle by means of the movable connection mechanism to always maintain the best contact state with the glass plate, avoid weakening of the adsorption force or the glass plate falling off, and thus significantly improve the safety of transportation.
[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the suction cup body 223 includes a disc body 2231, a base 2232 and 2233 that passes through the base 2232 and is connected to the negative pressure chamber, the disc body 2231 is a deformable material, and the base 2232 and the disc body 2231 are assembled as a whole; the hollow connecting rod 222 includes a hemispherical connecting end 2234 configured to be movably connected to the base 2232, and a sealing member 2235 (made of soft rubber or other elastic materials) arranged between the hemispherical connecting end 2234 and the base 2232 and connected to 2233, the sealing member 2235 allows the hollow connecting rod 222 to rotate relative to the base 2232 and maintain a seal.
[0032] In specific implementation, since the disc body 2231 is made of deformable material, it can undergo slight deformation during the adsorption process, thereby filling the fine irregularities on the glass surface, increasing the contact area, and improving the adsorption force. The base body 2232 is usually made of a relatively firm material and can withstand greater pressure and deformation. Its movable connection with the hollow connecting rod 222 and the cooperation with the air duct 2233 enable the base body 2232 and the disc body 2231 to rotate relative to the hollow connecting rod 222 together, thus realizing the universal adjustment function of the suction cup. In addition, the design of the hemispherical connecting end 2234 allows for a larger rotation angle between the hollow connecting rod 222 and the base body 2232, enabling the suction cup to adapt to a larger range of glass plate inclinations and unevenness. The seal 2235 is provided between the hemispherical connecting end 2234 and the base body 2232. Even when the hollow connecting rod 222 and the base body 2232 rotate relative to each other, the seal 2235 can maintain good sealing performance, thereby ensuring that the suction cup can stably adsorb the glass plate.
[0033] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the cross frame 10 is a hollow metal frame structure. The side of the metal frame structure is provided with a first slide rail assembly 11 arranged along the X-axis. The second longitudinal frame 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32 are both slidably connected to the cross frame 10 through the first slide rail assembly 11. The cylinder driving mechanism 50 includes two cylinders arranged away from each other. The tails of the two cylinders are fixedly installed on the side of the second longitudinal frame 31 away from the cross frame 10, and the power output ends of the two cylinders are respectively hinged to the fixed suction cup group 20 and the third longitudinal frame 32. The first slide rail assembly 11 on the cross frame 10 provides stable linear guidance for the second longitudinal frame 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32, ensuring the smooth movement of the moving suction cup group 30 in the X-axis direction, avoiding jamming or shaking, and improving the positioning accuracy and operating stability of the suction cup rack. The cylinder driving mechanism 50 can precisely and independently control the positions of the second longitudinal frame 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32 through two cylinders arranged away from each other, thereby realizing the precise adjustment of the width of the suction cup rack to adapt to glass plates of different sizes.
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the X-axis moving mechanism 70 includes a first bracket 71 and a second slide rail 72 driven by a servo motor 60. The first bracket 71 is arranged along the X-axis and fixed to the second longitudinal frame 31 and the third longitudinal frame 32. The edge-finding mechanism 200 is detachably mounted on the second slide rail 72 by screws and configured to move along the X-axis under the drive of the servo motor 60. The Y-axis moving mechanism 80 includes a second bracket 81 and a third slide rail 82 driven by a servo motor 60. The first bracket 71 is arranged along the Y-axis and fixed to the second longitudinal frame 31. The edge-finding mechanism 200 is detachably mounted on the third slide rail 82 by screws and configured to move along the Y-axis under the drive of the servo motor 60. In this embodiment, the servo motor 60 features high precision and high response speed. Combined with the slide rail structures (72, 82), the edge-finding mechanism 200 has a large moving range, enabling the edge-finding mechanism 200 to move quickly and flexibly in the X-axis and Y-axis directions to find the optimal detection position. In addition, the edge-finding mechanism 200 is detachably mounted on the slide rail by screws. This design facilitates the installation, adjustment, and replacement of the edge-finding mechanism and can adjust the position and angle of the edge-finding mechanism according to actual needs to obtain the best detection effect.
[0035] The variable suction cup holder provided in this embodiment realizes the edge-finding function by arranging a movable suction cup group and a cylinder drive mechanism on the cross frame and combining the X-axis and Y-axis moving mechanisms driven by a servo motor. Thereby, the versatility of the suction cup holder is improved, and it can adapt to a wider range of glass sizes; the operation process is simplified, and the labor cost and error rate are reduced; the efficiency and accuracy of glass edge-finding are improved with higher response speed, positioning accuracy, and stability, reducing glass breakage; the stability and reliability of the equipment are enhanced, and the maintenance cost is reduced. Ultimately, the automation level, production efficiency, and product quality of the glass production line are significantly improved, while the production cost is reduced.
