Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass loading, in particular to a robot adsorption arm based on automatic glass loading. Background Art

[0002] In the glass tempering process, the glass sheets need to be cleaned before tempering. The robotic arm can move the glass sheets to the roller conveyor and transport them to the cleaning machine for cleaning. The robotic arm can then move the cleaned glass sheets to the tempering furnace mouth, which can realize automatic glass loading, thereby improving tempering efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0003] In the process of the robotic arm grabbing the glass sheet and placing it on the roller, since the glass sheet is not cleaned, impurities such as dust may be adsorbed on the surface. Currently, pneumatic suction cups are basically used to adsorb the glass sheet, and the robot needs to adsorb the glass sheet continuously and uninterruptedly. If there are impurities on the surface of the glass sheet, a small number of adsorptions will not affect the use of the pneumatic suction cup. However, if the frequency is too high, impurities will stick to the suction cup, affecting the fitting effect between the suction cup and the glass sheet, thereby affecting the adsorption effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a robot suction arm based on automatic glass loading. By designing a new suction arm, it is possible to spray and wipe water on the glass sheet, and form a clean surface with a certain cleanliness level on the glass sheet. This clean surface serves as the suction surface of the subsequent pneumatic suction cup, ensuring the suction capacity between the pneumatic suction cup and the glass sheet, avoiding the problem of weakening the suction effect due to impurities, and improving the stability of loading.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
