Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glass transfer equipment, and in particular to a support frame and a transfer device. Background Art

[0002] The production process of glass includes multiple processes, and multiple processes may be in different workstations. Therefore, when producing glass, it is necessary to transfer the glass between multiple workstations. The common operating method is to realize the glass transfer process by a transfer rack, that is, to place the glass on the glass transfer rack, and then drive the transfer rack to move by mechanical or manual means so that the transfer rack carries the glass and circulates between various workstations. In order to reduce the risk of glass breakage, a soft cushion layer is usually provided on the surface of the transfer rack that contacts the glass. The disadvantage of the common transfer rack is that the soft cushion layer is mostly connected to the transfer rack by bonding or by fasteners such as nails and bolts. Although the aforementioned multiple fixing methods can ensure that the soft cushion layer and the transfer rack are reliably connected, it is difficult to disassemble and replace the soft cushion layer. For example, the structure disclosed in a glass transport rack (CN218143276U) in the prior art includes a partition block for supporting the glass. The partition block is bonded with a foam cushion layer that protects the glass. The foam cushion layer has the disadvantage of being complicated to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content

[0003] A technical problem to be solved by the present application is: how to conveniently replace the soft cushion layer provided on the support frame.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a support frame for a glass transfer device, comprising a frame body and a soft cushioning layer. The frame body is provided with a plurality of support units, each of which comprises a first surface and a second surface and a third surface connected to the first surface on both sides along a first direction. A first strip-shaped recessed portion is provided on the first surface along the length direction of the support unit, and the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the support unit. The soft cushioning layer comprises a first wall and a second wall and a third wall connected to both sides of the first wall along the first direction. The first wall is attached to the first surface, the second wall is attached to the second surface, and the third wall is attached to the third surface. A first protrusion is provided on the side of the first wall facing the first surface, and the first protrusion is inserted into the first recessed portion.

[0005] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the support unit, the support unit includes a first end and a second end, the first protrusion includes a third end close to the first end, and also includes a fourth end close to the second end, and the distance between the first end and the third end is greater than the distance between the second end and the fourth end.

[0006] In some embodiments, the plurality of support units are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0007] In some embodiments, the interval L between the plurality of support units and the length M of the support units satisfy 3≤L / M≤4.

[0008] In some embodiments, a second protrusion is disposed on one side of the frame.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first protrusion and the first recess are interference fit.

[0010] In some embodiments, along the first direction, second recessed portions are respectively provided on both sides of the first protruding portion, and a third protruding portion is provided on an inner wall surface of the first recessed portion corresponding to the second recessed portion.

[0011] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application further provides a transfer device, comprising a seat body and the support frame in the above embodiment, wherein the support frame is detachably connected to the seat body.

[0012] In some embodiments, two adjacent support units are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent support frames.

[0013] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is provided between two adjacent support frames.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, on the one hand, by inserting the first protrusion into the first recessed portion, the soft cushion layer can be detachably connected to the support unit, making the disassembly and assembly of the soft cushion layer more convenient. On the other hand, since the soft cushion layer includes a first wall, a second wall and a third wall, the first wall is attached to the first surface, the second wall is attached to the second surface, and the third wall is attached to the third surface. The contact area between the soft cushion layer and the support unit is increased, thereby increasing the connection strength between the soft cushion layer and the support unit. Furthermore, the working state of the support unit is increased, so that the support unit can form both a support surface for placing glass and a limiter. Furthermore, the wrapping area of ​​the support unit is increased, reducing the risk of collision between the support unit and the glass. In addition, the second wall is attached to the second surface and the third wall is attached to the third surface, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the soft cushion layer, so that when the soft cushion layer is installed, the first protrusion can be aligned with the first recessed portion.

[0033] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0034] See also Figures 1-6On the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a support frame 20 for a glass transfer device, comprising a frame body 1 and a soft cushion layer 6. The frame body 1 is provided with a plurality of support units 2, each of which comprises a first surface 9 and a second surface 10 and a third surface 11 connected to the first surface 9 on both sides along a first direction. A first strip-shaped recessed portion 12 is provided on the first surface 9 along the length direction of the support unit 2, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the support unit 2. The soft cushion layer 6 comprises a first wall 7 and a second wall 4 and a third wall 5 connected to both sides of the first wall 7 along the first direction. The first wall 7 is attached to the first surface 9, the second wall 4 is attached to the second surface 10, and the third wall 5 is attached to the third surface 11. A first protrusion 8 is provided on the side of the first wall 7 facing the first surface 9, and the first protrusion 8 is inserted into the first recessed portion 12.

[0035] The frame 1 is used to secure the glass, and the multiple support units 2 can form a support surface for placing the glass, that is, the glass is placed on the multiple support units 2. Alternatively, the multiple support units 2 can form a stopper, that is, the glass is placed between two adjacent support units 2, and the glass is limited by the two adjacent support units 2. The specific selection can be based on factors such as the size and shape of the glass, or the ease of transportation.

[0036] The length direction of the support unit 2 may be the direction indicated by the X axis in the figure, and the first direction may be the direction indicated by the Y axis in the figure.

[0037] When in use, the first surface 9 can be the top surface of the support unit 2. On the one hand, applying pressure to the first surface 9 facilitates the insertion of the first protrusion 8 into the first recess 12. On the other hand, in an embodiment where multiple support units 2 form a support surface for placing glass, placing the glass on the first surface 9 can reduce the risk of the soft cushion layer 6 falling off.

[0038] By inserting the first protrusion 8 into the first recess 12, the soft cushion layer 6 can be connected to the support unit 2, making it easier to assemble and disassemble the soft cushion layer 6. The first recess 12 extends along the length of the support unit 2, so that the first recess 12 can be set as long as possible, and the first protrusion 8 can also be set as long as possible, thereby increasing the connection strength between the first protrusion 8 and the first recess 12.

[0039] Since the soft cushion layer 6 includes a first wall 7, a second wall 4 and a third wall 5, the first wall 7 is attached to the first surface 9, the second wall 4 is attached to the second surface 10, and the third wall 5 is attached to the third surface 11. On the one hand, the contact area between the soft cushion layer 6 and the support unit 2 is increased, thereby increasing the connection strength between the soft cushion layer 6 and the support unit 2. On the other hand, the working state of the support unit 2 is increased, so that the support unit 2 can form both a support surface for placing glass and a limiter. On the other hand, the wrapping area of ​​the support unit 2 is increased, reducing the risk of collision between the support unit 2 and the glass. Furthermore, the second wall 4 is attached to the second surface 10, and the third wall 5 is attached to the third surface 11, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the soft cushion layer 6, so that the first protrusion 8 can be aligned with the first recessed portion 12.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the soft cushion layer 6 can be silicone. The silicone can not only protect the glass, but also reduce the risk of the glass sliding relative to the support unit 2 because the silicone material can fully fit the glass.

[0041] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, along the length direction of the support unit 2, the support unit 2 includes a first end 13 and a second end 14, the first protrusion 8 includes a third end 15 close to the first end 13, and also includes a fourth end 16 close to the second end 14, and the distance between the first end 13 and the third end 15 is greater than the distance between the second end 14 and the fourth end 16.

[0042] On the one hand, such a setting can play a foolproof role and reduce the risk of incorrect installation of the soft cushion layer 6. On the other hand, the third end 15 of the first protrusion 8 can be trimmed as needed to make the soft cushion layer 6 fit better with the support unit 2.

[0043] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, a plurality of support units 2 are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0044] The plurality of support units 2 are spaced apart along the first direction so that the second wall 4 and the third wall 5 between two adjacent support units 2 are arranged relative to each other, thereby enabling the plurality of support units 2 to form a limiter, that is, when the glass is arranged between two adjacent support units 2, the second wall 4 and the third wall 5 can protect the glass.

[0045] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the spacing L between the plurality of support units 2 and the length M of the support unit 2 satisfy 3≤L / M≤4.

[0046] The inventors discovered in actual production that if L / M is less than 3, the spacing L between the support units 2 is too large, increasing the risk of glass leaking between adjacent support units 2 when placed on them. If L / M is greater than 4, the spacing between the support units 2 is too small, which not only increases the number of support units 2 required, thereby increasing costs, but also makes it inconvenient to place special-shaped glass such as C-shaped or Z-shaped glass on the support units 2.

[0047] When 3≤L / M≤4, the appropriate spacing between two adjacent support units 2 is ensured, avoiding the cost increase caused by an excessive number of support units 2, while also reducing the risk of glass leaking between two adjacent support units 2. Furthermore, since there is a certain spacing between two adjacent support units 2, irregularly shaped portions of special-shaped glass can be accommodated between the two adjacent support units 2, meaning that the support units 2 can be used to place special-shaped glass.

[0048] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, a second protrusion 3 is provided on one side of the frame 1 .

[0049] The second protrusion 3 may be provided in plurality.

[0050] The second protrusion 3 can be used to fix the support frame 20 on other equipment, and reduce the risk of other equipment obstructing the support unit 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 8 and the first recessed portion 12 are interference fit.

[0052] The first protrusion 8 and the first recessed portion 12 are interference-fitted, thereby increasing the connection strength between the first protrusion 8 and the first recessed portion 12 and reducing the risk of the soft cushion layer 6 falling off.

[0053] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, along the first direction, second recessed portions 17 are provided on both sides of the first protruding portion 8 , and a third protruding portion 18 is provided on the inner wall surface of the first recessed portion 12 corresponding to the second recessed portion 17 .

[0054] Under the action of the second recess 17, the first protrusion 8 forms a structure with a larger portion near the first wall 7 and away from the first wall 7, and a smaller portion in the middle, so that the cross section of the first protrusion 8 can be similar to a funnel. The advantages of this arrangement are that, on the one hand, the connection strength between the first protrusion 8 and the first wall 7 is ensured, and on the other hand, when the first protrusion 8 is accommodated in the first recess 12, the third protrusion 18 is locked into the second recess 17, reducing the risk of the first protrusion 8 falling out of the first recess 12.

[0055] See also Figure 9On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application further provides a transfer device, including a seat body 19 and the support frame 20 in the above embodiment, and the support frame 20 is detachably connected to the seat body 19.

[0056] In the embodiment where a plurality of support units 2 form a stopper, the base 19 may be provided with a flexible bottom wall for supporting the glass.

[0057] The support frame 20 can be detachably connected to the base body 19 by bolts. The specific method of connecting by bolts is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In the embodiment where the frame 1 is provided with the second protrusion 3 , the second protrusion 3 may be connected to the base 19 .

[0059] The support frame 20 is detachably connected to the base 19, so that the number of support frames 20 can be set as needed. For example, multiple support frames 20 can be arranged vertically so that multiple support frames 20 can form a multi-layer support surface on the base 19, so that the transfer device can transfer multiple glasses at the same time.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the base 19 may be provided with universal wheels to facilitate the movement of the base 19 to transport the glass.

[0061] In some embodiments, two adjacent support units 2 are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent support frames 20 .

[0062] Two adjacent support units 2 are arranged correspondingly, that is, multiple support frames 20 can be arranged along a straight line. The advantage of such an arrangement is that, taking the vertical spacing arrangement of multiple support frames 20 as an example, the support units 2 of multiple support frames 20 are arranged along the vertical spacing, and the glass can pass through the adjacent two support units 2 of each support unit 2 from top to bottom in sequence, so that the multiple support frames 20 can jointly play a role in limiting the glass.

[0063] In some embodiments, a limiting portion 21 is disposed between two adjacent support frames 20 .

[0064] The connection method between the limiting portion 21 and the support frame 20 can be selected from existing connection methods. For example, the limiting portion 21 can be connected to the support frame 20 by bolts.

[0065] The limiting portion 21 facilitates fixing the distance between two adjacent support frames 20 on the one hand, and increases the connection strength between the two adjacent support frames 20 on the other hand.

[0066] So far, the various embodiments of the present application have been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of the present application, some details well known in the art have not been described. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein.
