Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass production, in particular to a connecting structure and a frame. Background Art

[0002] During the glass manufacturing process, when multiple production lines handle various different processes, frequent handling operations not only consume a large amount of manpower, but also significantly reduce production efficiency. Traditional furnace glass handling mainly relies on manual operation or the use of conveyor belts. The glass needs to be continuously flushed with water during the processing to prevent damage to the glass, which may cause water accumulation. This accumulated water will damage the conveyor belt, shortening its service life, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement. The conveyor belt itself also requires a certain amount of space, making the interior of the factory even more crowded. Therefore, the use of hoisting transportation can effectively solve the above problems. Hoisting transportation can reduce the occupation of ground space, improve production efficiency, and at the same time avoid damage to the conveyor device caused by accumulated water, thereby reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0003] However, hoisting and transportation typically require rails to be fixed to the ceiling, which places certain height requirements on the factory floor. Many existing factories do not meet these requirements. In this case, using a gantry mounting system, while it can solve the height issue, will also create space constraints, affecting the rational layout of the production line, and further affecting production efficiency and space utilization.

[0012] As a beneficial effect of further improvement of the above technical solution, the U-shaped pin is inserted into the inside of the square tube to ensure a tight connection between the connector and the square tube. The U-shaped structure can effectively disperse and bear the weight, ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure. The straight slot hole on the side wall of the square tube provides a channel for the bolt to pass through, so that the bolt can be tightly connected with the first threaded hole on the U-shaped pin, thereby ensuring the firmness of the entire structure.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the L-shaped fixing plate is provided with multiple positioning holes, and the slider is provided with multiple second threaded holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the above briefly describes the drawings required for describing the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Those skilled in the art can also derive other design solutions and drawings based on these drawings without inventive efforts.

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships mentioned in the text do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the present invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0026] During the glass manufacturing process, when multiple production lines handle various different processes, frequent handling operations not only consume a large amount of manpower, but also significantly reduce production efficiency. Traditional furnace glass handling mainly relies on manual operation or the use of conveyor belts. The glass needs to be continuously flushed with water during the processing to prevent damage to the glass, which may cause water accumulation. This accumulated water will damage the conveyor belt, shortening its service life, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement. The conveyor belt itself also requires a certain amount of space, making the interior of the factory even more crowded. Therefore, the use of hoisting transportation can effectively solve the above problems. Hoisting transportation can reduce the occupation of ground space, improve production efficiency, and at the same time avoid damage to the conveyor device caused by accumulated water, thereby reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0027] However, hoisting and transportation typically require rails to be fixed to the ceiling, which places certain height requirements on the factory floor. Many existing factories do not meet these requirements. In this case, using a gantry mounting system, while it can solve the height issue, will also create space constraints, affecting the rational layout of the production line, and further affecting production efficiency and space utilization.

[0028] To this end, a connection structure, referring to Figure 1 It includes a square tube 1, a connecting piece 2, a slider 3 and an aluminum profile 4. The connecting piece 2 is arranged at one end of the square tube 1. A groove 5 is provided on the outside of the aluminum profile 4. The slider 3 is slidably inserted into the groove 5. The connecting piece 2 and the slider 3 are connected by bolts.

[0029] The slider 3 is slidably inserted in the groove 5, which improves the flexibility of the connection structure. The connector 2 is not directly fixed to the aluminum profile 4, which effectively avoids the risk of deformation of the aluminum profile 4 during the connection process; the square tube 1 is set on the frame, and the aluminum profile 4 is connected to the square tube 1 through the connector 2 and the slider 3. A lifting rail is set on the aluminum profile 4. No additional supporting mechanism is required to fix it to the lifting rail, which improves space utilization, further saves materials and costs, and also simplifies the installation and maintenance process.

[0030] During assembly, the U-shaped pin 202 of the connecting part 2 is inserted into the square tube 1, and the bolt passes through the straight slot hole 101 on the square tube 1 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 203 on the U-shaped pin 202. The slider 3 is inserted into the groove 5 on the aluminum profile 4. The first limiting groove 501, the second limiting groove 502, the first limiting block 301 and the second limiting block 302 match so that the slider 3 can only move along the length direction of the aluminum profile 4. The bolt passes through the fixing hole on the L-shaped fixing plate 201 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 303 on the slider 3, so that the square tube 1 and the aluminum profile 4 are relatively fixed; then the lifting track of the lifting mechanism is set on the aluminum profile 4, and the lifting device moves through the track.

[0031] During the assembly process, first insert the U-shaped pin 202 of the connector 2 into the interior of the square tube 1, use a bolt to pass through the straight slot 101 on the square tube 1 and thread it into the first threaded hole 203 on the U-shaped pin 202 to ensure that the connector 2 is firmly fixed to the square tube 1; insert the slider 3 into the groove 5 on the aluminum profile 4, and the first limit groove 501 and the second limit groove 502 cooperate with the first limit block 301 and the second limit block 302 to ensure that the slider 3 can only move along the length direction of the aluminum profile 4 and will not deviate from the predetermined track; use a bolt to pass through the fixing hole on the L-shaped fixing plate 201 and thread it into the second threaded hole 303 on the slider 3, thereby achieving relative fixation between the square tube 1 and the aluminum profile 4. Finally, install the lifting track of the lifting mechanism at the appropriate position of the aluminum profile 4, so that the lifting device can be flexibly moved through the track.

[0032] The aluminum profile 4, used to mount the hoisting rail, requires excellent load-bearing capacity. Therefore, in one embodiment, multiple grooves 5 and multiple sliders 3 are provided, with each groove 5 corresponding to the other. The grooves 5 strengthen the structure of the aluminum profile 4 and improve its load-bearing capacity. The one-to-one correspondence between the sliders 3 and the grooves 5 allows for a tighter fit, ensuring the overall structural strength and reliability.

[0033] During use, the slider 3 may deviate or fall off. Therefore, in one embodiment, the groove 5 includes a first limiting groove 501 and a second limiting groove 502, and the slider 3 includes a first limiting block 301 and a second limiting block 302. The first limiting groove 501 cooperates with the first limiting block 301, and the second limiting groove 502 cooperates with the second limiting block 302. The first limiting groove 501 closely cooperates with the first limiting block 301, and the second limiting groove 502 closely cooperates with the second limiting block 302. The first limiting groove 501 and the second limiting groove 502 work together to ensure that the first limiting block 301 and the second limiting block 302 can only slide in the left and right directions within their respective limiting grooves, which not only improves the stability and durability of the overall structure, but also ensures the precise control of the slider 3 during movement.

[0034] Preferably, a serrated portion is provided on the side where the second limit block 302 is connected to the first limit block 301. When the slider 3 and the connector 2 are locked, the serrated portion can increase the friction between the slider 3 and the aluminum profile 4, ensuring that it will not loosen or fall off easily during use, thereby improving the overall connection effect and service life.

[0035] The aluminum profile 4, used to mount the hoisting rail, bears a significant weight, necessitating a secure connection between the aluminum profile 4 and the square tube 1. Therefore, in one embodiment, the connector 2 comprises an L-shaped fixing plate 201 and a U-shaped pin 202. The L-shaped fixing plate 201 is positioned at one end of the U-shaped pin 202. First threaded holes 203 are provided on the outer walls of the two side panels of the U-shaped pin 202. The U-shaped pin 202 is designed to be inserted into the square tube 1. Straight slots 101 are provided on the side walls of the square tube 1, through which bolts pass to connect with the first threaded holes 203. The U-shaped pin 202 is inserted into the square tube 1, ensuring a tight connection between the connector 2 and the square tube 1. The U-shaped structure effectively distributes and bears weight, ensuring the overall stability and safety of the structure. The straight slots 101 on the side walls of the square tube 1 provide passages for the bolts to pass through, allowing them to securely connect with the first threaded holes 203 on the U-shaped pin 202, thus ensuring the overall structural security.

[0036] The L-shaped fixing plate 201 is used to support and secure the aluminum profile 4 and must ensure sufficient strength and stability when supporting the aluminum profile 4. Therefore, in one embodiment, the L-shaped fixing plate 201 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 204, and the slider 3 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes 303. The positioning holes 204 correspond to the second threaded holes 303, and bolts pass through the positioning holes 204 to connect with the second threaded holes 303. Bolts pass through the positioning holes 204 on the L-shaped fixing plate 201 and connect with the second threaded holes 303 on the slider 3. This improves the stability and reliability of the connection, facilitates disassembly and maintenance, and makes the entire structure more robust, capable of withstanding greater forces and loads, thereby improving the service life and performance of the entire device.

[0037] A rack, referring to Figure 2 , comprising a frame body and a plurality of connection structures as described above, each of the square tubes 1 is arranged on the frame body.

[0038] The frame is used to mount the glass opening mechanism, ensuring its stability and structural strength. A square tube 1 is placed on top of the frame. Aluminum profiles 4 are connected to the tube via connectors 2 and sliders 3. Lifting rails are mounted on the aluminum profiles 4 for lifting and transporting the glass. No additional support is required to secure the lifting rails, improving space utilization and further saving materials and costs. Furthermore, its simplified design makes installation and maintenance more convenient and efficient, providing reliable support for the installation and use of the glass opening mechanism and lifting device.

[0039] The glass opening mechanism and the lifting and transportation mechanism are installed on the frame, which will generate certain vibrations during operation, and this vibration will bring certain tests to the structural stability of the frame. Therefore, in one embodiment, the frame body includes an upper frame 6 and a lower frame 7, the upper frame 6 is arranged on the lower frame 7, the upper frame 6 includes four first columns 601 distributed in a rectangular array, two first beams 602 and two first connecting pipes 603, the first beams 602 are arranged on the top of the first columns 601, the first beams 602 are used to connect the top ends of the two first columns 601 adjacent to each other in the front and rear, the first connecting pipes 603 are used to connect the two first columns 601 adjacent to each other in the left and right, one end of the first beam 602 extends out of the first column 601, and one end of the first beam 602 is connected to the U-shaped pin 202 by a bolt, the lower frame 7 includes four second columns 701 distributed in a rectangular array, four second beams 702 and four second connecting pipes 703, the second beams 702 are used to connect the two second columns 701 adjacent to each other in the front and rear, and the second connecting pipes 703 are used to connect the two second columns 701 adjacent to each other in the left and right. A first column 601 extends from one end of the first crossbeam 602. The first crossbeam 602 is the square tube 1 in the above-mentioned connection structure. The first crossbeam 602 is connected to the U-shaped pin 202. The lower frame 7 cooperates with the second column 701, the second crossbeam 702 and the second connecting tube 703 to provide a stable support, effectively disperse and transfer the load, and ensure the stability and durability of the entire rack.

[0040] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is provided at the connection between one end of the first crossbeam 602 extending out of the first column 601 and the first column 601, so as to strengthen the supporting capacity of the first crossbeam.

[0041] If the ground is not flat enough, the rack may tilt or become unstable during installation, affecting its overall stability and safety. Therefore, in one embodiment, the lower frame 7 also includes four sealing pieces 704, which are arranged at the bottom of the second column 701. The sealing pieces 704 are provided with third threaded holes 705 for mounting adjustment feet. The sealing pieces 704 effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the interior of the column, thereby keeping the internal structure clean and extending its service life. The provision of the third threaded holes 705 makes the installation of the adjustment feet more convenient and secure, allowing users to easily adjust the height and stability of the lower frame 7 according to actual needs.
