DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0048] It should be noted that although the device schematics illustrate functional module divisions and the flowcharts illustrate logical sequences, in certain circumstances, the steps shown or described may be performed in a sequence that differs from the module divisions in the device or the sequence in the flowcharts. The terms "first," "second," and so on, in the specification, claims, and drawings, are used to distinguish similar items and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or precedence.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] First, let’s analyze some of the terms used in this application:

[0051] Photoelectric sensors are light sensors that convert light signals into electrical signals, which can be used to sense the motion of mechanical equipment. Photoelectric sensors can be used in motion control, automation control, and other applications.

[0052] Glass suction cup: A glass suction cup is a tool used to carry glass. It generates vacuum adsorption force, allowing the suction cup to firmly adhere to the surface of the glass, thereby achieving the functions of carrying and fixing.

[0053] The glass suction cup device provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described through the following embodiments. First, the glass suction cup device in the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0054] Figure 1 This is an optional module block diagram of the glass suction cup device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The glass suction cup device includes: a control drive module 100, at least two suction cup partitions 200, a first valve module 300 connected to each suction cup partition 200, a position sensing module 400, and a telescopic adjustment module 500. Each suction cup partition 200 includes at least one target suction cup 210 (see Figure 4 ).

[0055] The control driving module 100 is connected to the position sensing module 400, the first valve module 300 and the telescopic adjustment module 500, and the suction cup partition 200 is connected to the telescopic adjustment module 500;

[0056] The position sensing module 400 is used to sense the position of the target glass to obtain a position sensing signal;

[0057] The control driving module 100 is used to control the on / off state of at least one first valve module 300 in response to the position sensing signal;

[0058] The telescopic adjustment module 500 is configured to adjust the telescopic state of the target suction cup 210 in the suction cup partition 200 corresponding to the first valve module 300 in response to the on / off state of the first valve.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the present application include, but are not limited to: sensing the position of the target glass through the position sensing module 400 to obtain a position sensing signal; then, the control driving module 100 controls the on / off state of at least one first valve module 300 in response to the position sensing signal; and the telescopic adjustment module 500 adjusts the telescopic state of the target suction cup 210 in the suction cup partition 200 corresponding to the first valve module 300 in response to the on / off state of the first valve module 300 when the first valve module 300 is open. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, by changing the on / off state of different first valve modules 300, the target suction cup 210 in the suction cup partition 200 corresponding to each first valve module 300 can be controlled separately, so that the target suction cups 210 in different suction cup partitions 200 can have different telescopic states, thereby flexibly handling glass of different sizes.

[0060] It should be noted that in current glass handling processes, manual replacement of suction cups of different sizes and types is often required to handle glass of different sizes, which increases equipment costs and reduces glass handling efficiency. The glass suction cup device of the present embodiment can automatically adjust the extension and retraction state of the target suction cup 210 in the suction cup partition 200 corresponding to the first valve module 300 by controlling the driving module 100. This allows for flexible adjustment of the extension and retraction state of the target suction cup 210 according to the size of the target glass, thereby enabling the handling of target glass of different sizes.

[0061] It should be noted that the retractable state of the target suction cup 210 includes an extended state and a retracted state. When the target suction cup 210 is in the extended state, the target suction cup 210 can be attached to the target glass, thereby transporting it. In another embodiment, when the target suction cup 210 is in the retracted state, the target suction cup 210 cannot be attached to the target glass.

[0062] In some embodiments, it should be noted that, when the telescopic state of the target suction cup 210 is the extended state, the telescopic adjustment module 500 is further used to adjust the extended length of the target suction cup 210 .

[0063] Specifically, the telescopic adjustment module 500 may include a telescopic rod. The target suction cup 210 is connected to the telescopic rod. The telescopic movement of the telescopic rod can be controlled by controlling the driving module 100, thereby adjusting the telescopic state of the target suction cup 210, that is, controlling the telescopic state of the target suction cup 210. The telescopic state of the target suction cup 210 can also be adjusted by other methods, which are not limited to these.

[0064] Specifically, the target glass may be a glass plate.

[0065] See also Figure 2 ,In some embodiments, the glass suction cup device further includes an angle adjustment module 600;

[0066] The control driving module 100 is connected to the angle adjustment module 600, and the angle adjustment module 600 is connected to the target suction cup 210;

[0067] The control driving module 100 is further configured to control the angle adjustment module 600 to adjust the angle of the target suction cup 210 in response to the position sensing signal.

[0068] The advantage of this embodiment is that the control driving module 100 controls the angle adjustment module 600 in response to the position sensing signal, thereby adjusting the angle of the target suction cup 210 through the angle adjustment module 600 .

[0069] It should be noted that current glass suction cups have difficulty adaptively adjusting the suction cup angle according to glass positions or curvatures, which increases the breakage rate of glass during handling and limits the application range of the glass suction cup device. The embodiments of the present application enable individual angle adjustment of the target suction cups 210 within the same glass suction cup device, thereby improving the efficiency, flexibility, and reliability of the glass suction cup device in handling glass and reducing the breakage rate during handling.

[0070] In some embodiments, it should be noted that when the first valve module 300 is in the open state, the angle adjustment module 600 can adjust the angle of the target suction cup 210 in the suction cup zone 200 corresponding to the first valve module 300. In another embodiment, the glass suction cup device includes multiple angle adjustment modules 600, each corresponding to a target suction cup 210, thereby achieving independent angle adjustment for each target suction cup 210.

[0071] Specifically, the angle adjustment module 600 may be a gear transmission module, a screw transmission module, a rotation module, etc.

[0072] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the control driving module 100 includes a control unit 110 and a target motor 120; the position sensing module 400 includes a light sensing unit 410 corresponding to each suction cup partition 200; the control unit 110 is connected to the target motor 120 and the light sensing unit 410, and the target motor 120 is connected to the telescopic adjustment module 500 and the angle adjustment module 600;

[0073] The light sensing unit 410 is used to sense the distance between the suction cup partition 200 and the target glass to obtain a distance sensing signal;

[0074] The control unit 110 is configured to control the target motor 120 according to the position sensing signal, so that the target motor 120 controls the angle adjustment module 600 to adjust the angle of the target suction cup 210 of the suction cup partition 200 .

[0075] The advantage of this embodiment is that the distance between the suction cup partition 200 and the target glass is sensed by the light sensing unit 410, thereby obtaining a distance sensing signal; then, the control unit 110 controls the target motor 120 according to the position sensing signal, so that the target motor 120 controls the angle adjustment module 600 to adjust the angle of the target suction cup 210 of the suction cup partition 200, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the target suction cup 210 and improving the flexibility of the glass suction cup device in carrying the target glass.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the glass suction cup device includes two suction cup partitions 200 and two light sensing units 410 , wherein each light sensing unit 410 corresponds to one suction cup partition 200 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the control unit 110 is further configured to control the target motor 120 according to the position sensing signal, so that the target motor 120 controls the telescopic adjustment module 500 to perform telescopic adjustment on the target suction cup 210 of the suction cup partition 200 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the control unit 110 may specifically be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). In other embodiments, the control unit 110 may further include at least one of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and other electronic devices, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0079] Specifically, the target motor 120 may be a servo motor or a stepping motor, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0080] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the light sensing unit 410 includes a sensing rod 411, a fixing member (not shown in the figure), and a light sensor (not shown in the figure);

[0081] The sensing rod 411 is slidably connected to the fixing member, and the light sensor is arranged on the fixing member;

[0082] The sensing rod 411 is used to move in response to contact with the target glass, and the light sensor is used to detect the movement of the sensing rod 411 to obtain a position sensing signal.

[0083] The advantage of this embodiment is that when the sensing rod 411 contacts the target glass, the sensing rod 411 will move; the movement of the sensing rod 411 is detected by the light sensor to obtain a position sensing signal, so that the positional relationship between the target glass and the target suction cup 210 can be accurately determined according to the position sensing signal, and then the angle or extension state of the target suction cup 210 can be adjusted according to the position sensing signal, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the glass suction cup device in transporting the target glass.

[0084] It should be noted that in Figure 4 In the embodiment, the light sensor is provided on the light eye bracket 412. Specifically, the light sensor may refer to the light eye on the light eye bracket 412. The light eye is a light sensor for sensing the motion state of a mechanical device, and can be used to sense the position and angle of the target glass.

[0085] See also Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the angle adjustment module 600 includes a flange 610;

[0086] The flange 610 is connected to the motor shaft of the target motor 120 and the suction cup partition 200;

[0087] The flange 610 is used to adjust the angle of the target suction cup 210 of the suction cup partition 200 according to the angle of the motor shaft.

[0088] The advantage of this embodiment is that by controlling the angle of the motor shaft of the target motor 120, the flange 610 connected to the motor shaft of the target motor 120 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the angle of the target suction cup 210 of the suction cup partition 200, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the glass suction cup device in transporting the target glass.

[0089] It should be noted that flange 610 is a disc-shaped component used to connect equipment or mechanical devices. In the embodiment of the present application, the angle of flange 610 can be adjusted by rotating flange 610, thereby adjusting the angle of target suction cup 210 connected to flange 610. The angle of target suction cup 210 can also be adjusted by other methods, and is not limited to this.

[0090] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the glass suction cup device further includes a second valve module (not shown in the figure);

[0091] The second valve module is connected to the first valve module 300 and the control drive module 100;

[0092] The control driving module 100 is further used to control the on / off state of the second valve module, and to control the on / off state of the first valve module 300 when the on / off state of the second valve module is in the open state.

[0093] The advantage of this embodiment is that when the switch state of the second valve module is in the open state, the switch state of the first valve module 300 is controlled, thereby controlling the target suction cup 210, thereby increasing the safety and reliability of the glass suction cup device.

[0094] It should be noted that the second valve module acts as the master switch for the glass suction cup assembly. In one embodiment, the first valve module 300 can only be switched when the second valve module is in the open state. In another embodiment, the first valve module 300 cannot be switched when the second valve module is in the closed state.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first valve module 300 includes a solenoid valve and an on-off valve (not shown in the figure), and the second valve module includes a pilot valve (not shown in the figure);

[0096] The pilot valve is connected to the control drive module 100, the solenoid valve and the on-off valve, the control drive module 100 is connected to the solenoid valve and the on-off valve, the solenoid valve is connected to the suction cup partition 200, and the on-off valve is connected to the suction cup partition 200;

[0097] The control drive module 100 is also used to control the switching state of the pilot valve, and control the switching states of the solenoid valve and the on-off valve when the switching state of the pilot valve is open; wherein the switching states of the solenoid valve and the on-off valve are the same.

[0098] The advantage of this embodiment is that, through the pilot valve, solenoid valve and on-off valve, when the pilot valve, solenoid valve and on-off valve are all in the open state, the extension and retraction state of the target suction cup 210 in the corresponding suction cup partition 200 in the glass suction cup device can be controlled, or the angle of the target suction cup 210 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the partition control of the suction cup and being able to adapt to the application scenarios of glass transportation of different sizes.

[0099] It should be noted that the pilot valve can control all target suction cups 210, acting as a master switch for the glass suction cup assembly. It controls the connection (e.g., on / off) between the target suction cups 210 in all suction cup zones 200 and the vacuum pump and cylinder 510. For each suction cup zone 200, the same solenoid valve and on / off valve are used to control the connection between the target suction cups 210 in that zone 200 and the vacuum pump and cylinder 510.

[0100] In some embodiments, the telescopic adjustment module 500 includes a cylinder 510 and a vacuum pump (not shown);

[0101] The air cylinder 510 is connected to the target suction cup 210 , and the vacuum pump is connected to the target suction cup 210 ;

[0102] The cylinder 510 is used to control the extension and contraction state of the target suction cup 210 in response to the switch state of the first valve module 300; the vacuum pump is used to control the target suction cup 210 to perform an adsorption action when the extension and contraction state of the target suction cup 210 is the extended state.

[0103] The advantage of this embodiment is that the expansion and contraction state of the target suction cup 210 is controlled by the cylinder 510, and the vacuum pump controls the target suction cup 210 to perform adsorption action, so that the target suction cup 210 can be adsorbed on the surface of the target glass, thereby performing glass handling action.

[0104] It should be noted that the cylinder 510 may be an electric cylinder that can perform suction and blowing actions, thereby controlling the target suction cup 210 to perform an adsorption action or a release action on the target glass.

[0105] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the glass suction cup device further includes a fixing frame 800 and a valve body mounting plate 700;

[0106] The fixing frame 800 connects the valve body mounting plate 700 , the suction cup partition 200 and the control drive module 100 ; the valve body mounting plate 700 is provided with a first valve module 300 and a telescopic adjustment module 500 .

[0107] The advantage of this embodiment is that by uniformly installing the first valve module 300 and the telescopic adjustment module 500 on the valve body mounting plate 700, and connecting the valve body mounting plate 700, the suction cup partition 200 and the control drive module 100 with a fixed frame 800, the stability of the glass suction cup device is improved, and the target glass can be transported more reliably.

[0108] It should be noted that the fixing frame 800 is a frame used to connect and fix the target suction cup 210 and other modules.

[0109] In some embodiments, the valve body mounting plate 700 may further be provided with a second valve module.

[0110] See also Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the front view of the glass suction cup device is as follows Figure 5 In another embodiment, the top view of the glass suction cup device is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 In another embodiment, the left side view of the glass suction cup device is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0111] Please note that Figure 3 and Figure 6 The glass suction cup device includes two light sensing units 410. Each light sensing unit 410 includes a sensing rod 411 and a light sensor (not shown in the figure) arranged on a light eye bracket 412.

[0112] In some embodiments, it should be noted that the two light sensing units 410 specifically include a first light sensing unit and a second light sensing unit. When the target suction cup 210 is sucking the target glass for the first time, if both the first and second light sensing units receive position sensing signals, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in the control driving module 100 directly stores the current angle of the motor shaft of the target motor 120 in a memory (e.g., a storage module within the PLC or an external storage device) in response to the position sensing signals from the first and second light sensing units. If the first light sensing unit receives a position sensing signal and the second light sensing unit does not, the target motor 120 controls the motor shaft to rotate forward so that the second light sensing unit receives the position sensing signal, and then stores the current angle of the motor shaft. Similarly, if the second light sensing unit receives a position sensing signal and the first light sensing unit does not, the target motor 120 controls the motor shaft to rotate backward so that the first light sensing unit receives the position sensing signal, and then stores the current angle of the motor shaft. In another embodiment, when the target suction cup 210 is not sucking the target glass for the first time, the PLC obtains the last stored angle of the motor shaft, and controls the angle adjustment module 600 according to the angle, thereby adjusting the angle of the target suction cup 210 .

[0113] Among them, the forward rotation of the motor shaft means that the motor shaft of the target motor 120 rotates according to a preset reference rotation direction (such as clockwise); the reverse rotation of the motor shaft means that the motor shaft of the target motor 120 rotates in the opposite direction of the reference rotation direction.

[0114] In some embodiments, the at least two suction cup partitions 200 include a first suction cup partition, a second suction cup partition, and a third suction cup partition;

[0115] Wherein, the first suction cup partition, the second suction cup partition and the third suction cup partition are arranged in sequence;

[0116] The control driving module 100 is also used to obtain glass size data of the target glass, and to control the suction cup states of the target suction cup 210 in the first suction cup partition, the target suction cup 210 in the second suction cup partition, and the target suction cup 210 in the third suction cup partition according to the glass size data.

[0117] The advantage of this embodiment is that by dividing multiple target suction cups 210 into different suction cup partitions 200 (such as the first suction cup partition, the second suction cup partition and the third suction cup partition), the target suction cups 210 in each suction cup partition 200 can be controlled separately through the first valve module 300, thereby realizing zone control of the target suction cups 210, being adaptable to application scenarios of glass transportation of different sizes, and improving the flexibility of the glass suction cup device.

[0118] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 In one application example, the glass suction cup device includes three suction cup partitions 200, specifically including a first suction cup partition, a second suction cup partition, and a third suction cup partition. Figure 8 As shown, the yellow box represents the first suction cup partition, and the four circles in the yellow box represent the four target suction cups 210 in the first suction cup partition; the green box represents the second suction cup partition, and the four circles in the green box represent the four target suction cups 210 in the second suction cup partition; the red box represents the third suction cup partition, and the six circles in the red box represent the six target suction cups 210 in the third suction cup partition.

[0119] It should be noted that if Figure 8 As shown, the third suction cup partition is arranged in the outer area of ​​the glass suction cup device, the second suction cup partition is arranged in the middle area of ​​the glass suction cup device (that is, the area between the outer area and the inner area), and the first suction cup partition is arranged in the inner area of ​​the glass suction cup device. The control driving module 100 can automatically adjust the target suction cups 210 in the above-mentioned different suction cup partitions 200 according to the glass size of the target glass. The glass size can refer to the side length or perimeter of the target glass. For example, the PLC in the control driving module 100 obtains the glass size of the target suction cup 210 from other devices (such as a host computer, a client) through wireless communication. The glass size refers to the side length of the target glass. When the glass size is 2m (meter), the glass size is larger than the size of the glass suction cup device, so the target suction cups 210 in all the above-mentioned suction cup partitions 200 are adjusted to an extended state.

[0120] In another embodiment, the size (side length) of the area of ​​the glass suction cup device comprising the first and second suction cup sections is 0.4m, and the overall size of the glass suction cup device is 1m. If the glass size is 0.5m, the glass size is larger than the size of the first and second suction cup sections (0.4m) and smaller than the overall size of the glass suction cup device (1m). Therefore, the target suction cups 210 in the third suction cup section (i.e., the outermost section) are retracted. This shows that the glass suction cup device in this embodiment of the present application is adaptable to target glasses of varying sizes.
