Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a transport device which is compatible with multiple types of glass. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the photovoltaic industry, the transport of raw glass sheets is highly automated, and most manufacturers use integrated suction cup clamps as handling tools. The advantage of suction cup clamps in glass handling lies in their vacuum-assisted gripping technology, which eliminates the impact of glass thickness and maintains a secure grip without damaging the glass. Furthermore, the suction cups are evenly distributed across the glass's size, distributing the force applied to the glass and preventing it from falling or breaking during high-speed handling.

[0003] Although existing suction cup fixtures all integrate different numbers of suction cups, the suction cups are all installed in a fixed structure, which is not compatible with a variety of glass with a large size span. The transportation of glass requires more uniform distribution of suction cups so that the glass is evenly stressed. One type of suction cup fixture is required for each specification of glass. For photovoltaic factories, the replacement, storage and maintenance of suction cup fixtures will be a huge waste of costs.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a transport device that is compatible with multiple types of glass is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a handling device that is compatible with multiple types of glass, realizing mixed-line production of different types of products on the photovoltaic glass production line, greatly reducing the time and cost investment in equipment replacement for users.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the above object is: a handling device compatible with multiple types of glass, comprising a main frame, a plurality of first suction cup groups, an extension assembly, and a plurality of second suction cup groups;

[0007] A plurality of the first suction cup groups are evenly arranged on the lower end surface of the main frame; a group of the extension components is connected to each of the two sides of the main frame, and a plurality of the second suction cup groups are arranged on each group of the extension components.

[0008] Preferably, the extension assembly includes a slide rod frame, a fixed slide frame is connected to the side of the main frame, the slide rod frame is slidably connected to the fixed slide frame, and the side of the slide rod frame away from the main frame is connected to the second suction cup group.

[0009] Preferably, the second suction cup group includes a fixed block, which is fixedly connected to the slide rod frame, a vertical pole is slidably connected inside the fixed block, the lower end of the vertical pole is connected to the suction cup, a spring is provided on the upper sleeve of the vertical pole, and the upper end of the vertical pole is connected to the baffle.

[0010] Preferably, the slide rod frame and the fixed slide frame are both provided with through holes, and the slide rod frame and the fixed slide frame are fixed in position by pins passing through the through holes.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the fixing block is connected to a hook, and the lower end of the vertical rod is connected to a ring adapted to the hook.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the handling device is compatible with multiple types of glass. By arranging extension components on the main frame, each group of extension components has multiple second suction cup groups, which can expand the overall adsorption size, so that photovoltaic glasses of different sizes can be transported without changing the equipment, realizing mixed-line production of different types of products on the photovoltaic glass production line, greatly reducing the time and cost investment in equipment replacement for the user.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "up," "down," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inside," "outside," and the like, indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a handling device that is compatible with multiple types of glass includes a main frame 1, multiple first suction cup groups 2, extension components and multiple second suction cup groups 3; multiple first suction cup groups 2 are evenly arranged on the lower end surface of the main frame 1; a group of extension components are connected to each side of the main frame 1, and each group of extension components has multiple second suction cup groups 3.

[0019] Specifically, the extension assembly includes a slide frame 4, which is connected to a fixed slide frame 5 on the side of the main frame 1. The slide frame 4 is slidably connected to the fixed slide frame 5, and the side of the slide frame 4 facing away from the main frame 1 is connected to the second suction cup group 3. The slide frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5 both have through holes 6, and the slide frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5 are fixed in position by a pin 7 that extends through the through holes 6.

[0020] Specifically, the sliding connection between the slide rod frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5 can be achieved through a slide groove and a slider. For example, a slide groove is opened on the fixed slide frame 5, and a slider is connected to the side wall of the slide rod frame 4. The slider is slidably connected in the slide groove to achieve the sliding connection between the slide rod frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5.

[0021] Specifically, the second suction cup assembly 3 includes a fixed block 31, which is fixedly connected to the slide frame 4. A vertical rod 32 is slidably connected to the fixed block 31. The lower end of the vertical rod 32 is connected to the suction cup 33. A spring 35 is mounted on the upper end of the vertical rod 32, and the upper end of the vertical rod 32 is connected to a baffle 37. The side wall of the fixed block 31 is connected to a hook 34, and the lower end of the vertical rod 32 is connected to a ring 36 that matches the hook 34. When the second suction cup assembly 3 is not in use, the ring 36 is pulled upward and hooked onto the hook 34, so that the suction cup 33 is higher than the first suction cup assembly 2 to prevent it from colliding with the roller line conveying the glass.

[0022] Specifically, the multiple first suction cup groups 2 and the multiple second suction cup groups 3 are connected to different vacuum sources, and the vacuum is turned off when the multiple second suction cup groups 3 are not in use, thereby reducing vacuum waste.

[0023] Specifically, when transporting photovoltaic glass of normal size, the adsorption transportation can be completed through multiple first suction cup groups 2. When the size of the glass changes, the overall size is expanded by sliding the slide rod frame 4, and the glass is transported by multiple first suction cup groups 2 and multiple second suction cup groups 3.

[0024] When in use, push the slide frame 4 to slide on the fixed slide frame 5 to expand the overall size, and then pass the pin 7 through the through hole 6 on the slide frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5 to fix the slide frame 4 and the fixed slide frame 5. The main frame 1 is fixed on the robot, and the robot drives the main frame 1 to move, so that the first suction cup group 2 and the second suction cup group 3 absorb and transport the photovoltaic glass.

[0025] This device is compatible with a variety of glass handling devices. By arranging extension components on the main frame 1, each group of extension components has multiple second suction cup groups 3, which can expand the overall adsorption size, so that photovoltaic glasses of different sizes can be handled without changing the equipment, realizing mixed-line production of different types of products on the photovoltaic glass production line, greatly reducing the time and cost investment in equipment replacement for users.

[0026] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
