The driving assembly drives the electric suction cup 8 and the pushing frame 10 to move toward or away from the conveying plate 4;
[0031] An air pump 11 is also provided on the side of the fixed frame 2 close to the movable plate 5. The air pump 11 is provided with a nozzle 111 that sprays air toward the electric suction cup 8. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is provided at the connection between the movable plate 5 and the fixed frame 2. The movable plate 5 moves toward or away from the electric suction cup 8 along the setting direction of the hydraulic cylinder 6.
[0032] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a first rodless cylinder 7 and a second rodless cylinder 9 arranged on the side of the fixed frame 2 facing the movable plate 5. The second rodless cylinder 9 is located above the first rodless cylinder 7. The electric suction cup 8 is connected to the first rodless cylinder 7, and the pushing frame 10 is connected to the second rodless cylinder 9.
[0033] Furthermore, there are two hydraulic cylinders 6, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed bracket, and the hydraulic cylinders 6 are vertically arranged. The movable plate 5 drives the glass to be processed placed on the movable plate 5 to perform up and down reciprocating linear motion along the direction of the hydraulic cylinders 6.
[0034] Furthermore, the first rodless cylinder 7 drives the electric suction cup 8 to move closer to or away from the plate chain conveyor 3 , and the electric suction cup 8 transports the glass to be processed on the movable plate 5 to the conveying plate 4 .
[0035] Furthermore, the conveying plate 4 can move to the position of the loading port along with the plate chain conveyor 3, and the second rodless cylinder 9 drives the push rod to push the glass to be processed on the conveying plate 4 into the glass edge grinding machine 1 from the loading port.
[0036] Furthermore, the air pump 11 is located between the first rodless cylinder 7 and the second rodless cylinder 9 , and a plurality of nozzles 112 are provided on the side of the air pump 11 facing the connecting plate.
[0037] Furthermore, the nozzle 111 is connected to both ends of the air pump 11 , and the nozzle 111 extends around one side of the first rodless cylinder 7 toward the movable plate 5 to blow air toward the glass to be processed on the movable plate 5 .
[0038] Furthermore, a buffer block 12 is provided at one end of the conveying plate 4 connected to the plate chain conveyor belt 3, and the material of the buffer block 12 is rubber.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, the present application discloses a CNC shaped glass edge grinding machine for automatic loading and cleaning, comprising a fixed frame 2 mounted on the front side of the glass edge grinding machine 1. The fixed frame 2 is attached to the glass edge grinding machine 1 via screws, ensuring a secure connection between the fixed frame 2 and the glass edge grinding machine 1 and capable of withstanding the various forces and vibrations during the glass processing process. Two plate chain conveyors 3 are mounted on the inner walls of the fixed frame 2, vertically arranged within the fixed frame 2. Each plate chain conveyor 3 is also provided with multiple conveyor plates 4, positioned correspondingly to each other, and moving vertically with the movement of the plate chain conveyors 3. Specifically, two conveyor plates 4, positioned at the same height on each plate chain conveyor 3, form a group. The glass to be processed is placed on these two conveyor plates 4 and moves vertically with the plate chain conveyors 3. During the transport process, the movement direction and speed of the two plate chain conveyors 3 remain consistent, ensuring smooth and unbiased vertical movement of the glass to be processed on the conveyor plates 4, thus ensuring stable transportation.
[0040] Here, a movable plate 5 is further provided on the side of the fixed frame 2 facing away from the glass edge grinding machine 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 6 is further provided at the connection between the movable plate 5 and the fixed frame 2 to realize the movement of the movable plate 5. Specifically, there are two hydraulic cylinders 6, which are respectively installed on both sides of the fixed frame 2, and are both arranged vertically. This layout ensures that the hydraulic cylinder 6 can directly and efficiently drive the movable plate 5 to move in the vertical direction. The working principle of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is based on hydraulic transmission technology, which converts the pressure energy of the liquid into mechanical energy, thereby driving the piston rod to perform linear reciprocating motion. In this design, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the movable plate 5. When the hydraulic cylinder 6 receives a control signal and starts, its piston rod will push the movable plate 5 and the glass to be processed carried thereon to perform linear reciprocating motion up and down along the axial direction of the hydraulic cylinder 6. At the same time, the stability and controllability of the hydraulic cylinder 6 also ensure the stability of the movable plate 5 during movement, further improving the reliability of the overall structure.
[0041] Among them, a driving assembly is provided on the side of the fixed frame 2 facing the movable plate 5, and the driving assembly includes a first rodless cylinder 7 and a second rodless cylinder 9, and the second rodless cylinder 9 is located above the first rodless cylinder 7. An electric suction cup 8 is provided on the first rodless cylinder 7, and a pushing frame 10 is provided on the second rodless cylinder 9, and the electric suction cup 8 is located below the pushing frame 10. It should be noted that there are two first rodless cylinders 7, and the two ends of the electric suction cup 8 are respectively fixed on the two first rodless cylinders 7, so that the electric suction cup 8 can be driven by the two first rodless cylinders 7 to move closer to or away from the fixed frame 2. There are also two second rodless cylinders 9, and the two ends of the pushing frame 10 are respectively fixed on the two second rodless cylinders 9, so that the pushing frame 10 can be driven by the two second rodless cylinders 9 to move closer to or away from the fixed frame 2. A loading port is also provided on the side of the fixed frame 2 that contacts the glass edge grinding machine 1, and the loading port and the pushing frame 10 are on the same horizontal plane. In other embodiments, the driving component may also be a motor or other power source that can drive the electric suction cup 8 and the pushing frame 10 to move.
[0042] It's worth noting that an air pump 11 is installed on the side of the fixed frame 2 facing the movable plate 5. This air pump 11 is located between the electric suction cup 8 and the push frame 10. Multiple nozzles 111 are installed on either side of the air pump 11, extending downward from the left side of the first rodless cylinder 7 on the left side and the right side of the first rodless cylinder 7 on the right side, respectively. The air outlets of these nozzles 111 are positioned below the plane of the electric suction cup 8 to ensure that the airflow is directed directly onto the upper surface of the glass to be processed on the movable plate 5—the suction surface in contact with the electric suction cup 8. Excessive dust accumulation on the suction surface of the glass to be processed can significantly weaken the suction force of the electric suction cup 8, increasing the risk of the glass falling off during movement and negatively impacting the stability and safety of the processing. This design aims to remove any dust particles that may have adhered to the suction surface of the glass to be processed by blowing, thereby ensuring the suction effect of the electric suction cup 8. Furthermore, multiple nozzles 112 are located on the side of the air pump 11 facing the plate chain conveyor 3. These nozzles 112 blow air toward the plate chain conveyor belt 3. When the conveying plate 4 moves upward along the plate chain conveyor belt 3 with the glass to be processed, the air flow passing through the nozzle 112 can blow away the dust on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass to be processed, thereby cleaning the dust on both the upper and lower surfaces of the glass.
[0043] A rubber buffer block 12 is also provided at one end of the connection between the conveyor plate 4 and the plate chain conveyor 3. The elasticity and shock-absorbing properties of the rubber buffer block 12 protect the glass to be processed as it is smoothly transferred from the electric suction cup 8 to the conveyor plate 4. Specifically, when the electric suction cup 8 completes suction of the glass to be processed and places it on the conveyor plate 4, the rubber buffer block 12 absorbs the impact and vibration generated by the placement action. This process avoids hard contact between the glass to be processed and the conveyor plate 4, thereby preventing scratches, cracks, or other forms of damage to the glass surface caused by direct impact, and also reduces the noise generated by the placement of the glass to be processed.
[0044] In actual use, the glass to be processed is first placed on the movable plate 5. The movable plate 5 and the glass to be processed on the movable plate 5 are lifted upward by the hydraulic cylinder 6. At this time, the nozzle 111 on the air pump 11 blows air to the upper surface of the top piece of glass to be processed to remove dust. When the glass to be processed rises with the movable plate 5 and contacts the electric suction cup 8, the electric suction cup 8 is activated to suck up the top piece of glass to be processed. The electric suction cup 8 and the sucked glass to be processed are then transported to the position of the plate chain conveyor 3 by the first rodless cylinder 7. The electric suction cup 8 is closed and the glass to be processed is placed on the conveyor plate 4. The electric suction cup 8 is then reset by the first rodless cylinder 7 to transport the next piece of glass to be processed, and the cycle continues. The glass to be processed on the conveying plate 4 moves upward along with the plate chain conveyor 3. When it passes the nozzle 112 position of the air pump 11, the air flow ejected through the nozzle 112 can clean the dust on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass to be processed. When the glass to be processed is transported upward to the position of the loading port by the plate chain conveyor 3, the second rodless cylinder 9 is started, causing the pushing frame 10 to move once toward the direction of the plate chain conveyor 3 and then reset. The pushing plate pushes the glass to be processed at the loading port into the glass edge grinding machine 1 from the loading port.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
