[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] The utility model provides a large glass loading hanger, the structure of which is as follows Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes a supporting mechanism 1, a steering mechanism 2, an adsorption mechanism 3 and a lifting mechanism 4.

[0028] The support mechanism 1 includes a base 11 disposed on the ground.

[0029] The steering mechanism 2 includes a suspension rod 21 and a driving assembly 22 . The suspension rod 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11 . The output end of the driving assembly 22 is connected to the suspension rod 21 and is used to drive the suspension rod 21 to rotate.

[0030] The adsorption mechanism 3 includes a suction cup 32 and a negative pressure component 33 . The suction cup 32 is fixed on the suspension rod 21 and is used to adsorb the glass. The air inlet of the negative pressure component 33 is connected to the suction cup 32 .

[0031] The fixed end of the lifting mechanism 4 is connected to the suspension rod 21 , and the movable end of the lifting mechanism 4 is connected to the suction cup 32 . The lifting mechanism 4 is used to adjust the height of the suction cup 32 .

[0032] When in use, the base 11 is arranged on the ground and serves as the basic support part of the entire large glass loading hanger. The hanger 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11 and can rotate around the connection point with the base 11. The driving assembly 22 is the power source for the rotation of the hanger 21. The suction cup 32 is arranged on the hanger 21 and is in direct contact with the glass surface. The negative pressure assembly 33 is connected to the suction cup 32. When the negative pressure assembly 33 is started, it will extract the air inside the suction cup 32 through a pipe or the like, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the suction cup 32. Under the action of the external atmospheric pressure, the glass will be pressed tightly against the suction cup 32, thereby achieving the adsorption of the glass. The main function of the lifting mechanism 4 is to adjust the height of the suction cup 32.

[0033] In the present invention, the adsorption mechanism 3 realizes reliable adsorption of large glass through the suction cup 32 and the negative pressure component 33. During the transportation process, even if the sling shakes or the moving speed changes, due to the negative pressure environment formed inside the suction cup 32, the glass will still be tightly adsorbed on the suction cup 32 and will not fall off easily, which greatly reduces the possibility of the glass falling during transportation and improves the safety of transportation.

[0034] To drive the boom 21 to rotate, please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the driving assembly 22 includes a motor 221 disposed in the base 11 , and the output shaft of the motor 221 is connected to the end of the boom 21 .

[0035] When in use, the output shaft of the motor 221 is directly connected to the end of the boom 21. Due to the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 221, this rotational power is directly transmitted to the boom 21. As the motor 221 continues to output power, the boom 21 starts to rotate under the drive of the output shaft of the motor 221.

[0036] To achieve the adsorption function of the suction cup 32, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the negative pressure component 33 includes a vacuum pump 331 and a vacuum tube 332, and the vacuum pump 331 and the vacuum tube 332 are both arranged on the boom 21, the outlet of the vacuum pump 331 is connected to the inlet of the vacuum tube 332, and the outlet of the vacuum tube 332 is connected to the inlet of the suction cup 32.

[0037] During use, when a large glass needs to be sucked, the vacuum pump 331 is first started. As the pump continues to operate, gas molecules within the pump chamber are continuously expelled, gradually reducing the pressure at the pump outlet, thereby creating a relatively low pressure environment within the vacuum tube 332 and the suction cup 32. The outlet of the vacuum pump 331 is connected to the inlet of the vacuum tube 332. When the vacuum pump 331 generates a vacuum during operation, this vacuum is transmitted through the vacuum tube 332. Since the outlet of the vacuum tube 332 is connected to the inlet of the suction cup 32, the vacuum environment within the vacuum tube 332 is transmitted to the interior of the suction cup 32. The suction cup 32 is in close contact with the surface of the large glass. When the suction cup 32 is connected to the vacuum pump 331 through the vacuum tube 332 and a vacuum is created, the air pressure inside the suction cup 32 becomes lower than the external atmospheric pressure. Based on the principle of pressure differential, the external atmospheric pressure exerts a pressure perpendicular to the glass surface and directed toward the suction cup 32, pressing the glass tightly against the suction cup 32, thus achieving the purpose of sucking the large glass through negative pressure.

[0038] To adjust the suction force of the suction cup 32, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, a flow valve 333 is provided on the vacuum tube 332 .

[0039] During use, in an actual working environment, factors such as the flatness and cleanliness of the glass surface may affect the adsorption effect. The flow valve 333 can adjust the vacuum degree in a timely manner according to these actual conditions to ensure that the suction cup 32 can stably adsorb the glass under various complex working conditions.

[0040] To improve the cleanliness of the vacuum tube 332, please refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, a filter screen 34 is provided at the inlet of the suction cup 32 .

[0041] During use, when vacuum pump 331 starts and begins extracting air from suction cup 32 through vacuum tube 332, external air flows into suction cup 32 due to the pressure differential. During this process, air must pass through filter 34 at the entrance of suction cup 32. This filter allows air molecules to pass through smoothly, but blocks larger solid particles such as dust and glass fragments. This ensures that the air entering suction cup 32 is relatively clean, preventing impurities from entering vacuum tube 332 and vacuum pump 331, thereby protecting the normal operation of vacuum tube 332 and vacuum pump 331.

[0042] To facilitate the installation and removal of the vacuum tube 332, please refer to Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the vacuum tube 332 includes a first tube body 334 and a second tube body 335, the outlet of the vacuum pump 331 is connected to the inlet of the first tube body 334, the outlet of the first tube body 334 is connected to the inlet of the second tube body 335, the outlet of the second tube body 335 is connected to the inlet of the suction cup 32, the end of the first tube body 334 is provided with a receiving groove 336 for accommodating the second tube body 335, the end of the first tube body 334 is provided with a screw hole 337, the screw hole 337 is internally threaded with a bolt 338, and the end of the second tube body 335 is provided with a groove 339 for accommodating the bolt 338.

[0043] During use and assembly, simply insert one end of the second tube 335 into the receiving groove 336 at the end of the first tube 334, then screw the bolt 338 into the screw hole 337 and insert the end of the bolt into the groove 339 at the end of the second tube 335 to complete the connection. When the vacuum tube 332 needs to be maintained, repaired, or replaced, simply loosen the bolt 338 with a wrench or other tool and remove it from the screw hole 337. The second tube 335 can then be easily removed from the receiving groove 336 of the first tube 334, achieving quick disassembly. This facilitates the individual inspection, repair, or replacement of each component of the vacuum tube 332, reduces the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance, reduces equipment downtime for repairs, and helps improve production continuity.

[0044] To accommodate different glass sizes, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a bracket 31 is provided on the boom 21, and the bracket 31 includes a main frame 311 and a sub-frame 312. The main frame 311 is provided on the boom 21, and the sub-frame 312 is slidably connected to the main frame 311. The suction cup 32 is provided on the sub-frame 312, and the main frame 311 is provided with a fixing component 5 for fixing the sub-frame 312.

[0045] During use, the suction cup 32 is mounted on the sub-frame 312, and its position can be appropriately arranged based on factors such as the size and shape of the large glass to be suctioned. When the position of the suction cup 32 needs to be adjusted based on the size or shape of the glass, the sub-frame 312 slides on the main frame 311. Once the sub-frame 312 has slid to the appropriate position, the fixing assembly 5 on the main frame 311 comes into play, firmly securing the suction cup 32. This ensures that the sub-frame 312 will not shift during operation due to factors such as the weight or vibration of the glass, ensuring the stability of the suction cup 32 and providing reliable conditions for the safe and effective suction of large glass.

[0046] To secure the suction cup 32, refer to Figure 2In a preferred embodiment, the fixing assembly 5 includes a socket 51 provided on the main frame 311, an insertion rod 52 is passed through the socket 51, and a plurality of slots 53 for accommodating the insertion rod 52 are provided on the sub-frame 312 at intervals along the sliding direction of the sub-frame 312.

[0047] During use, when the position of the sub-frame 312 on the main frame 311 needs to be adjusted to accommodate large glass of different sizes, the sub-frame 312 is pushed or pulled along the sliding direction of the main frame 311. When the sub-frame 312 slides to the appropriate position for the suction cup 32 to accommodate the glass size, a slot 53 on the sub-frame 312 corresponds to the insertion rod 52. The insertion rod 52 is inserted into the slot 53, and the sub-frame 312 is fixed to the main frame 311 through the tight fit between the insertion rod 52 and the slot 53.

[0048] To improve the stability of the rod 52, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a spring is provided on the insertion rod 52, one end of the spring is connected to the insertion rod 52, and the other end of the spring is connected to the main frame 311. The spring is in a stretched state, and the spring causes the insertion rod 52 to have a tendency to slide toward the sub-frame 312.

[0049] During use, in the initial state, the rod 52 is inserted into the slot 53 of the sub-frame 312, and the spring is in a stretched state. When the position of the sub-frame 312 needs to be adjusted, the rod 52 is pulled out of the slot 53. During the process of pulling out the rod 52, the spring is further stretched. When the sub-frame 312 slides to the appropriate position and the corresponding slot 53 is aligned with the position of the rod 52, the spring's restoring force causes the rod 52 to automatically slide toward the sub-frame 312 and insert into the slot 53. This automatic insertion function is due to the tension of the spring, which reduces the difficulty for the operator to reinsert the rod 52. Moreover, because the tension of the spring keeps the rod 52 tightly inserted into the slot 53, it can better secure the sub-frame 312 and prevent it from shifting during operation due to factors such as the weight of the glass and vibration of the equipment. This ensures the stability of the suction cup 32 and provides reliable support for the suction of large glass.

[0050] To drive the glass lift, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a pneumatic lifting rod 41 provided on the boom 21 , and the piston rod of the pneumatic lifting rod 41 is connected to the bracket 31 .

[0051] When in use, the pneumatic lift rod 41 works based on the principle of pneumatic transmission. In the entire large glass loading hanger system, when the height of the bracket 31 needs to be adjusted, a compressed air source will provide power to the pneumatic lift rod 41. The piston rod of the pneumatic lift rod 41 is connected to the bracket 31. When the piston moves under the action of the air pressure in the cylinder, the piston rod will move accordingly. Since the piston rod is connected to the bracket 31, the extension or retraction of the piston rod will directly drive the bracket 31 to rise or fall. By controlling parameters such as the flow rate, pressure, and air intake direction of the compressed air entering the pneumatic lift rod 41, the movement speed and stroke of the piston rod can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the bracket 31 to meet the requirements of large glass loading at different heights.

[0052] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1 - Figure 4 The working principle of the large-scale glass loading hanger of the present invention is described in detail: the base 11 is installed on the ground and serves as the basic support part of the entire large-scale glass loading hanger. The hanger 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11 and can rotate around the connection point with the base 11. The drive assembly 22 is the power source for the rotation of the hanger 21. The bracket 31 is installed on the hanger 21 and serves as the bearing component of the suction cup 32. It provides a suitable installation position for the suction cup 32, ensuring that the suction cup 32 can be evenly distributed on the bracket 31 to achieve effective adsorption of large glass. The suction cup 32 is installed on the bracket 31 and is in direct contact with the glass surface. The negative pressure assembly 33 is connected to the suction cup 32. When the negative pressure assembly 33 is activated, it will extract the air inside the suction cup 32 through a pipe or other means, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the suction cup 32. Under the influence of the external atmospheric pressure, the glass will be tightly pressed against the suction cup 32, thereby achieving glass adsorption. The main function of the lifting mechanism 4 is to adjust the height of the bracket 31.

[0053] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
