Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass production and processing, and particularly relates to an automatic loading and turning device for long glass. Background Art

[0002] Glass is an amorphous, inorganic solid material widely used in construction, furniture, electronics, and other fields. The glass processing process includes raw material preparation, melting, and forming. Processed glass products undergo quality inspection, including appearance, dimensional accuracy, and physical properties. The finished glass products need to be transferred to a conveyor belt or roller conveyor bed for easy transfer, or they can be placed flat on the conveyor bed for quality inspection. Loading the glass onto the conveyor bed requires a dedicated glass suction cup transfer device or a suspension device. Suction cup transfer devices are typically used for transferring smaller, lighter glass. Suction cup transfer devices are often equipped with a robotic arm to perform transfer and flipping operations. However, for long, large and heavy glass, the suction cup transfer device's negative pressure is limited, and large, heavy glass may not hold securely, causing it to fall. Therefore, a suspension device is used for loading large, heavy glass.

[0003] The suspension mechanism uses suspension straps to position the long glass on either side. Lifting and sliding assemblies facilitate loading the long glass. During the transfer process, the long glass remains suspended perpendicular to the ground. When the suspended glass is transferred directly above the conveyor bed, it is slowly lowered, allowing one side of the glass to first contact the bed. The operator then maintains this side of the glass in place while slowly moving the suspension mechanism forward. During this process, the suspension mechanism slowly descends, gradually tilting the glass from its vertical position and gradually contacting the bed. However, due to the large area and weight of the long glass, the operator exerts considerable force to hold the side of the glass that first contacts the bed during the downward and leveling process. Furthermore, the bed's surface is constructed of rollers, which are inherently slippery. This creates a further challenge in securing the glass. If the grip is not stable, the glass is likely to follow the suspension mechanism, causing the side contacting the bed to move and jolt along, potentially damaging the glass. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention provides an automatic long glass loading and flipping device. On a long glass suspension and transfer device, a suspension belt for the long glass is movably connected to the suspension device. A device for flipping the glass is also provided on the suspension device. When the long glass is transferred to the top of a conveyor bed, the long glass can be gradually flipped under the action of the flipping device so that the long glass is in a horizontal state, and then gradually lowered to the surface of the conveyor bed. In this way, when the long glass is loaded onto the conveyor bed, there is no need to spend manpower to hold and fix one side of the long glass, and damage to the long glass caused by unstable manual grip is also avoided. The present invention solves the problem that the current suspension and transfer loading device for long glass cannot flip the long glass, and when loading the long glass onto the conveyor bed, manual grip and fixation are required, which may also cause damage to the glass.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] An automatic long glass loading and turning device, comprising: a support beam 1, a crossbeam 2, a lifting assembly, a suspension crossbeam 7, a suspension column beam 8, a suspension belt 9, and a turning assembly;

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the support beam 1 serves as the suspension support structure of the entire device structure in this embodiment; the stability and firmness of the support beam 1 need to be ensured; the support beam 1 is fixed to the ceiling surface of the concrete structure using a fixing structure such as bolts; a set of upper flap devices in this embodiment requires two support beams 1, and the two support beams 1 are symmetrically arranged; the support beam 1 itself is made of steel structure;

[0053] A crossbeam 2 is set between the two support beams 1, and both ends of the crossbeam 2 should be fixed to the support beams 1 by welding;

[0054] A lifting assembly is provided below the crossbeam 2 through the coordinated movement of the slide rail 3 and the slider, and the lifting assembly is provided below the slider; the lifting assembly in this embodiment includes: a motor, a bearing and a steel cable; the motor drives the bearing to rotate, the steel cable is coiled on the bearing, and a hook pulley is provided below the steel cable; the forward and reverse rotation of the bearing can realize the retraction or release of the steel cable, thereby realizing the lifting effect.

[0055] A suspension beam 7 is hung on the hook pulley of the lifting assembly, and a suspension column beam 8 is set below the suspension beam 7; suspension belts 9 are symmetrically and movably set on both sides of the suspension column beam 8; the suspension belts 9 can slide on the suspension column beam 8; the long glass is placed on the suspension belts 9 and suspended by the suspension belts 9;

[0058] Example 2

[0059] An automatic long glass loading and turning device, comprising: a support beam 1, a crossbeam 2, a lifting assembly, a suspension crossbeam 7, a suspension column beam 8, a suspension belt 9, and a turning assembly;

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the support beam 1 serves as the suspension support structure of the entire device structure in this embodiment; the stability and firmness of the support beam 1 need to be ensured; the support beam 1 is fixed to the ceiling surface of the concrete structure using a fixing structure such as bolts; a set of upper flap devices in this embodiment requires two support beams 1, and the two support beams 1 are symmetrically arranged; the support beam 1 itself is made of steel structure;

[0061] A crossbeam 2 is set between the two support beams 1, and both ends of the crossbeam 2 should be fixed to the support beams 1 by welding;

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide rail 3 is centrally provided below the crossbeam 2, and an electric slider 4 is slidably provided on the slide rail 3; the structure of the electric slider 4 and the sliding principle under circuit control belong to the prior art and will not be described in detail here;

[0063] A lifting assembly is provided below the electric slider 4, which can raise or lower the entire glass suspension structure;

[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting assembly in this embodiment includes: a wire rope winch 5, a wire rope and a pulley hook 6;

[0065] The wire rope winch 5 is provided below the electric slider 4. The function of the wire rope winch 5 is to retract or release the wire rope wound on the winch. The wire rope winch 5 is an existing product that can be purchased directly, and the specific structure is not described in detail.

[0066] The wire rope is wound on the wire rope winch 5, and the lower end of the wire rope is arranged on the pulley structure of the pulley hook 6; in this way, when the wire rope winch 5 retracts or releases the wire rope, the pulley hook 6 can rise or fall accordingly.

[0067] The pulley hook 6 is suspended in the center position of the suspension beam 7, and a suspension column beam 8 is arranged below the suspension beam 7, and the suspension column beam 8 is a cylindrical structure; a suspension belt 9 is arranged on both sides of the suspension column beam 8, and the suspension belt 9 can slide on the suspension column beam 8 relative to the suspension column beam 8.

[0068] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the suspension belt 9 and the suspension column beam 8 is set as follows: Figure 6 As shown, two grooves are provided near the ends of the suspension column beam 8; a pulley 11 is rotatably provided in the groove; a suspension belt 9 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 11, that is, the suspension belt 9 passes around the pulley 11, and the inner side of the suspension belt 9 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 11; the suspension belt 9 can slide on the pulley 11, so that the suspension belt 9 can slide relative to the suspension column beam 8. Figure 8 As shown, the glass is placed on the suspension belts 9 , and the two suspension belts 9 are respectively arranged near the left and right sides of the glass, so that the glass can be stably suspended between the suspension belts 9 .

[0069] A flip assembly is provided on the suspension column beam 8, such as Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the flip assembly in this embodiment is configured as follows: three hollow slots are provided in the suspension column beam 8; a steel wire rope winch 5 is provided in each of the three hollow slots; a flip traction rope 10 is wound around the steel wire rope winch 5; one end of the flip traction rope 10 is led out of the hollow slot to the outside of the suspension column beam 8; a suction cup 1001 is provided on the end of the flip traction rope 10 located outside the suspension column beam 8;

[0070] As a preferred embodiment, in order to make the flip traction rope 10 tighten during use, the suction cup 1001 can be adjusted relative to the flip traction rope 10, such as Figure 7 As shown, two ring buckles are set at the end of the flip traction rope 10, and the suction cup 1001 is set on the ring buckles. Since the two ring buckles can move freely relative to each other, the suction cup 1001 can also be freely adjusted relative to the flip traction rope 10; a negative pressure suction tube 1002 is set on the suction cup 1001, and the negative pressure suction tube 1002 can be used to vacuum the inside of the suction cup 1001, so that the suction cup 1001 can be firmly adsorbed on the glass surface.

[0071] In this embodiment, three groups of flipping components are arranged at equal intervals in the suspension column beam 8; during operation, the suction cups 1001 on both sides need to be adsorbed on the lower edge of one side of the glass, and the suction cup 1001 in the middle needs to be adsorbed on the upper edge of the other side of the glass.

[0072] When hanging glass, you need to Figure 8As shown, suspend the glass on the suspension belt 9. Pay attention to adjusting the position of the suspension belt 9 relative to the glass. The suspension belt 9 is located near the two sides of the glass, and the distance between the suspension belt 9 and the two sides of the glass should be equal; this can ensure the center balance of the glass when it is suspended.

[0073] The electric slider 4 slowly moves on the rails 3. When the glass reaches the top of the conveyor bed for loading, the slider 4 stops. The wire rope winch 5, which controls the flipping cables 10, then activates. The wire rope winch 5 retracts the flipping cables 10 on either side and extends the central flipping cable 10 on the other side of the glass. The suspension belt 9 slides relative to the suspension column 8. During the gradual flipping process, the suspension belt 9 does not restrict the glass from flipping; instead, it slides in accordance with the glass's rotation. The suspension belt 9 provides the majority of the glass's suspending support. The suction cups 1001 on either side and the flipping cables 10 provide the upward force, while the suction cups 1001 and the flipping cables 10 in the center provide auxiliary support. This process continues until the glass is horizontal. At this point, the wire rope winch 5 below the electric slider 4 extends the cables, allowing the flipped glass to gradually descend until it reaches the surface of the conveyor bed. The operator simply adjusts the glass's position so that it lands squarely on the conveyor bed.

[0074] Example 3

[0075] Based on Example 2, Figure 3 As shown, the center position above the suspension beam 7 is the position where it is suspended on the pulley hook 6; a hook belt 701 is set at this center position, and the suspension beam 7 is hung on the pulley hook 6 using the hook belt 701.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, since the hook strap 701 is located at the center of the suspension beam 7, the force of the suspension is concentrated at the center of the suspension beam 7. This may cause the glass suspended below to easily swing left and right. Therefore, a diagonal support strap 702 is provided on each side of the hook strap 701. One end of the diagonal support strap 702 is attached to the hook strap 701, and the other end is attached to the upper surface of the suspension beam 7. In this way, under the balance of the two diagonal support straps 702, the left and right swing amplitude of the suspended glass below can be reduced, preventing the glass from swinging significantly and affecting the suspension stability of the glass.
