Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass turning and transporting equipment, in particular to a glass turning machine. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread application of glass in many fields such as architecture, automobiles, and electronics, the requirements for glass quality and processing efficiency are constantly increasing. In the production and subsequent processing of glass, it is often necessary to flip the glass to meet different process requirements. For example, in processes such as glass coating, printing, and cutting, different sides of the glass may need to be processed in a specific way. This has led to the emergence of glass flipping machines.
[0003] Automated glass flipping machines currently on the market primarily consist of a conveying system, a flipping mechanism, a control system, and a frame structure. The conveying system, including a conveyor belt and a drive motor, is responsible for transporting the glass. The flipping mechanism, which consists of a flipping arm, a rotating shaft, and a drive unit, flips the glass. The control system, typically a PLC with sensors, ensures safe and accurate operation, while the frame structure provides stable support. During operation, the machine is inspected and parameters adjusted, then loaded and started. The conveyor belt delivers the glass to the flipping position. The flipping arm descends and places the fixed suction cup against the glass surface. The negative pressure device is then activated to securely attach the glass. Once the attachment is complete, the machine rises again. The flipping control system then completes the flipping process. The flipped glass is then discharged by the conveyor belt, and the operator unloads the material. Regular maintenance is required during operation.
[0004] However, the existing equipment still has certain shortcomings. Dust is inevitably attached to the surface of the glass during storage and transportation. When the suction cup is attached to the glass surface for adsorption, the suction cup may leak, deflect after adsorption, or even fall and break when flipped. The surface needs to be cleaned before flipping and transportation. Therefore, a glass flipping machine is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a glass turning machine to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a glass turning machine, comprising a turning arm, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and two sets of cleaning components are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting plate;

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinged rod and the mounting plate in the cleaning assembly can be rotated before the flip arm drives the suction cup to press down and adsorb the glass surface. At the same time, the piston rod is used to drive the piston disc to squeeze the cleaning liquid in the piston cylinder to the glass surface, and then the brush and scraper are used to scrape and clean. This can effectively clean the fine dust on the glass surface and ensure the strength of the suction cup's adsorption and fixation.
[0009] Furthermore, two groups of water tanks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, and the two groups of water tanks are connected to the piston cylinder through a hose respectively, and the end of the piston cylinder is connected to the water outlet through a hose.

[0011] Furthermore, the two groups of hinged rods are provided with sliding grooves of matching sizes at the contact positions with the insertion rods, and the two groups of sliding grooves are arranged diagonally.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion rod can be squeezed when the hinged rod rotates, thereby squeezing the cleaning liquid in the piston cylinder, thereby realizing automatic liquid discharge.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the end of the piston rod is located inside the piston cylinder and is fixedly connected to a piston disk, and the piston disk is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the outer wall of the piston cylinder and the end close to the limit ring.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring can rebound after the hinged rod moves up and separates from the glass, driving the piston rod and sliding rod to rebound and reset. At the same time, the piston disk moves away to one side to generate negative pressure to draw cleaning fluid from the water tank into the piston cylinder to prepare for the next cleaning.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall fixing sleeve of the piston cylinder is provided with multiple sets of mounting hoops, and the mounting hoops are all fixed to the connecting plate. The outer wall sliding sleeve of the sliding rod is connected to the limiting sliding sleeve, and the limiting sliding sleeve is fixed to the upper surface of the connecting plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting hoop can fix the piston cylinder, and the limiting sliding sleeve can limit the sliding rod to ensure stability.
