[0026] The following embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The detailed description of the following examples and the accompanying drawings are intended to illustrate the principles of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but rather includes all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.

[0027] The present disclosure provides these embodiments in order to make this disclosure thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0030] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure depending on the specific circumstances. When a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intervening device between the specific device and the first or second device.

[0031] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in, for example, common dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or highly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0032] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 2The present disclosure provides a positioning device for a glass packaging rack, comprising: a mounting base 1, a positioning mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3, and a sliding mechanism 4, wherein the mounting base 1 is used to place a glass packaging rack 7; the positioning mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1 to position the glass packaging rack 7; the clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the mounting base 1 to clamp the positioned glass packaging rack 7; the sliding mechanism 4 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the sliding mechanism 4 is located between the glass packaging rack 7 and the mounting base 1; the positioning mechanism 2 is used to position the glass packaging rack 7 in a first direction, and the clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the glass packaging rack 7 in a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0034] The glass packaging rack positioning device provided by the present disclosure first sets the entire device at a preset position in the production line through the mounting base 1, that is, the position set by the internal program of the robot for loading or unloading glass plates; the glass packaging rack 7 is positioned in a first direction by the positioning mechanism 2; when the glass mounting rack is positioned in the first direction, the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the glass packaging rack 7 from a second direction; secondly, in order to reduce the friction strength between the bottom of the glass mounting rack and the mounting base 1, a sliding mechanism 4 is further provided on the mounting base 1, and the sliding mechanism 4 is arranged between the glass packaging rack 7 and the mounting base 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to each other, so that the glass packaging rack 7 can be positioned and clamped in both the length direction and the width direction of the glass packaging rack 7, so as to ensure that the robot works stably when loading or unloading the glass and the recognition is accurate, thereby improving the neatness of the packaging.

[0036] Further, if Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a positioning assembly and a first pushing assembly. The first pushing assembly and the positioning assembly are arranged relative to each other along a first direction. That is, there is a certain distance between the first pushing assembly and the positioning assembly, and the initial position of the glass packaging rack 7 can be placed in this distance. Then, the first pushing assembly pushes the glass packaging rack 7 toward the positioning assembly until the glass packaging rack 7 and the positioning assembly abut each other and the first pushing assembly can no longer push the glass packaging rack 7 forward. The first pushing assembly includes a pushing member 21 and a first driving member 22. The first driving member 22 drives the pushing member 21 to push the glass packaging rack 7 toward the positioning assembly. The first driving member 22 can be a telescopic cylinder, and the pushing member 21 can be a double elbow joint. The double elbow joint is provided with a roller at one end facing the glass packaging rack 7. In this way, the contact area between the pushing member 21 and the glass packaging rack 7 can be reduced, and the double elbow joint has a certain rotation effect when in use, which can further generate a flexible driving force to reduce damage to the glass packaging rack 7.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a first mounting member 23 and a positioning wheel 24 . The positioning wheel 24 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 through the first mounting member 23 , and the axis direction of the positioning wheel 24 is parallel to the height direction of the glass packaging rack 7 . Among them, the positioning assembly is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1 as a positioning reference in the first direction, and the glass packaging rack 7 needs to be used repeatedly. In order to avoid the glass packaging rack 7 being damaged due to excessive pushing force used by the first pushing assembly when pushing the glass packaging rack 7, a positioning wheel 24 is used as a positioning member in contact with the glass packaging rack 7. The positioning wheel 24 and the glass packaging rack 7 are in line contact, and the contact area is small, which will not cause damage to the glass packaging rack 7. In addition, when the subsequent clamping mechanism 3 clamps the glass packaging rack 7, the glass packaging rack 7 will inevitably move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. At this time, since the positioning wheel 24 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1, when the positioning wheel 24 contacts the moving glass packaging rack 7, the positioning wheel 24 rotates, which can reduce the friction between the positioning wheel 24 and the glass mounting rack, and the first mounting member 23 can install the positioning wheel 24 to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0038] In addition, the positioning mechanism 2 is also provided with a reset component. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the positioning component is installed on the mounting base 1 through the reset component. The reset component includes a reset element 25 and a second mounting member 26. The first mounting member 23 is connected to the second mounting member 26 through the reset element 25, and the reset element 25 is installed on the mounting base 1 through the second mounting member 26. Among them, the reset element 25 can be a spring. When in use, first, the glass packaging rack 7 is placed on the mounting base 1 by a loading and moving conveying mechanism such as a forklift, and then the first pushing component pushes the glass packaging rack 7 along the first direction. At this time, the spring is in a relaxed state. As the glass packaging rack 7 gradually approaches the positioning component and is closest to the positioning component, the first pushing component continues to apply a pushing force to the glass packaging rack 7, and then the spring is compressed. When the glass packaging rack 7 reaches the preset position, the first pushing component stops pushing the glass packaging rack 7, and then the clamping mechanism 3 continues to work to complete the positioning. When the positioning is completed and the robot completes the unloading or loading of the glass, in order to facilitate the removal of the glass packaging rack 7 from the mounting base 1, the compressed spring uses its own rebound force to push the glass packaging rack 7 through the positioning component to move, so that gaps appear on both sides, which facilitates the transfer of the glass packaging rack 7.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a second pushing component and a clamping member 31. The second pushing component and the clamping member 31 are arranged on the mounting base 1 relative to each other along the second direction, and the second pushing component can push the glass packaging rack 7 to move in the direction of the clamping member 31 to clamp the glass packaging rack 7. Figure 2 As shown, the second pushing component is arranged on the mounting base 1 together with the clamping member 31, and there is a certain distance between the second pushing component and the clamping member 31, which is convenient for placing the glass packaging rack 7. The second pushing component pushes the glass packaging rack 7 toward the clamping member 31. After the glass packaging rack 7 and the clamping member 31 abut against each other, the second pushing component stops pushing and cooperates with the clamping member 31 to clamp the glass packaging rack 7.

[0040] The second pushing assembly includes a second driving member 32 and a rotating member 33. The rotating member 33 is rotatably mounted on the second driving member 32. The second driving member 32 can drive the rotating member 33 to rotate 90 degrees around the connection point between the rotating member 33 and the second driving member 32, so that the rotating member 33 can contact the glass packaging rack 7 under the drive of the second driving member 32. The second driving member 32 can be a telescopic cylinder. The axis of the rotating member 33 is initially parallel to the mounting base 1. When the second pushing assembly starts working, the telescopic cylinder rotates 90 degrees around its own axis under the action of the motor, so as to drive the rotating member 33 from the axis parallel to the mounting base 1 to the axis perpendicular to the mounting base 1. The rotating member 33 can also abut against the glass packaging rack 7. In this way, when the second driving member 32 pushes the glass packaging rack 7, the rotating member 33 can not only serve as the pushing member 21 but also cooperate with the clamping member 31 to clamp the glass packaging rack 7 at a later time.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding mechanism 4 includes several rolling assemblies arranged on the mounting base 1, and the rolling assemblies include a mounting shell 41 and a universal ball 42. The universal ball 42 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 through the mounting shell 41, and the upper edge of the universal ball 42 is higher than the upper edge of the mounting shell 41 so as to be able to contact the lower surface of the glass packaging rack 7. The sliding mechanism 4 can reduce the friction coefficient between the mounting base 1 and the bottom of the glass packaging rack 7. Since the glass packaging rack 7 needs to be used repeatedly, in order to extend the service life of the glass packaging rack 7, it needs to be protected accordingly during use. After the glass packaging rack 7 is placed on the mounting base 1, it needs to be pushed by the first pushing component and the second pushing component so that it can reach the preset position, which is convenient for the robot to identify and load and unload the glass. Therefore, a large friction force will be generated between the bottom surface of the glass packaging rack 7 and the upper surface of the mounting base 1. In order to reduce the friction force, a sliding mechanism 4 is provided. Due to the particularity of the universal ball 42, it is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 using a mounting shell 41. When the glass packaging rack 7 is pushed, the universal ball 42 and the bottom surface of the glass packaging rack 7 are in point contact, and the contact area is small. Moreover, since the universal ball 42 can roll, the contact time and contact area with the bottom surface of the glass packaging rack 7 are reduced, thereby reducing the friction force.

[0042] In addition, see Figure 1In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an anti-friction mechanism 6 is provided between the sliding mechanism 4 and the glass packaging rack 7. The anti-friction mechanism 6 comprises a floating plate 61 and stoppers 62 disposed on either side of the floating plate 61. The stoppers 62, the floating plate 61, and the mounting base 1 together form a space capable of accommodating the sliding mechanism 4. The lower surface of the floating plate 61 abuts the upper edge of the universal ball 42. Because the universal ball 42 has a limited force-bearing capacity, even if several universal balls 42 are provided, they may still be crushed by the excessive weight of the glass inside the glass packaging rack 7. Therefore, the anti-friction mechanism 6 is provided. On the one hand, the floating plate 61 serves as the bottom plate of the glass packaging rack 7, replacing the glass packaging rack 7 in direct contact with the glass packaging rack positioning device provided by the present disclosure, thereby avoiding friction and protecting the glass packaging rack 7. On the other hand, it ensures that the force applied to each universal ball 42 is evenly distributed, extending its service life. Furthermore, the stoppers 62 are provided to prevent the floating plate 61 from escaping from the area where the sliding mechanism 4 is located.

[0043] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a support mechanism 5 is further provided below the mounting base 1. The support mechanism 5 includes a plurality of support legs 51, and the mounting base 1 is mounted on the ground via the support legs 51. The support legs 51 can serve as connectors between the mounting base 1 and the ground, and the support members can be telescopic rods. This allows the height of the mounting base 1 to be adjusted during use, thereby avoiding problems such as excessive distance between the robot and the glass packaging rack 7, which could damage the glass.

[0044] Furthermore, the present disclosure describes the glass packaging rack positioning device provided by the present disclosure through the following preferred embodiments:

In addition, the positioning mechanism 2 is used to position the glass packaging rack 7 in a first direction, and the clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the glass packaging rack 7 in a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0046] Among them, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a positioning component, a reset component and a first pushing component. The first pushing component and the positioning component are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, and the first pushing component includes a pushing member 21 and a first driving member 22. The first driving member 22 drives the pushing member 21 to push the glass packaging rack 7 to move in the direction of the positioning component. The positioning component includes a first mounting member 23 and a positioning wheel 24. The positioning wheel 24 is rotatably connected to the reset component through the first mounting member 23. The axial direction of the positioning wheel 24 is parallel to the height direction of the glass packaging rack 7. The positioning component is installed on the mounting base 1 through the reset component. The reset component includes a reset element 25 and a second mounting member 26.

[0047] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a second pushing component and a clamping member 31. The second pushing component and the clamping member 31 are arranged on the mounting base 1 relative to each other along the second direction, and the second pushing component can push the glass packaging rack 7 to move in the direction of the clamping member 31 so as to clamp the glass packaging rack 7. The second pushing component includes a second driving member 32 and a rotating member 33. The rotating member 33 is rotatably mounted on the second driving member 32, and the second driving member 32 can drive the rotating member 33 to rotate 90° around the connection point between the rotating member 33 and the second driving member 32 so that it can contact the glass packaging rack 7 under the drive of the second driving member 32.

[0048] The sliding mechanism 4 includes several rolling assemblies arranged on the mounting base 1. The rolling assembly includes a mounting shell 41 and a universal ball 42.

[0049] The supporting mechanism 5 is arranged below the mounting base 1 . The supporting mechanism 5 includes a plurality of supporting feet 51 . The mounting base 1 is mounted on the ground via the supporting feet 51 .

[0050] Before use, the device is first installed according to the preset position. Then, when in use, the glass packaging rack 7 is transported to the anti-friction mechanism 6 by a forklift or other transportation tool. Then, the first pushing component in the positioning mechanism 2 pushes the glass packaging rack 7 to move in the direction of the positioning component until it abuts against the positioning component. The second pushing component in the clamping mechanism 3 first rotates the rotating member 33, and after it is perpendicular to the mounting base 1, it contacts the glass packaging rack 7. Then, the glass packaging rack 7 is pushed to move in the direction of the clamping member 31 and cooperates with the clamping member 31 to clamp the glass packaging rack 7. Then, the robot recognizes it and loads or unloads the glass. After the robot completes its work, the first pushing component and the second pushing component return to their initial state, and then the reset component pushes the glass packaging rack 7 to move it out of the gap for later transportation.
