Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive glass flipping machines, and more particularly to an automotive glass flipping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive glass flipping machines are flipping devices specifically designed for automotive windshields or four-door windows. Through a bracket and flipping device, they can achieve a 180-degree flip of the glass, which can significantly improve work efficiency and ensure operational safety. Automotive glass flipping machines are constantly moving towards automation and intelligence to meet the needs of more efficient and safer operations.

[0003] The inventors of this application have discovered the following problems during practical use:

[0004] Although existing glass flipping machines, such as the "flipping machine for automotive glass production" disclosed in announcement number CN118954075A, can achieve 180° face flipping of the glass to be processed, their functional limitations are gradually becoming apparent when facing increasingly diversified processing needs. Traditional flipping machines are inadequate in dealing with complex processing tasks, and can only achieve single face flipping, which is difficult to meet the market's demand for multi-angle and multi-directional glass processing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a glass flipping machine that can efficiently complete face flipping operations and flexibly achieve horizontal rotation of the glass, thereby greatly improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment to different glass processing tasks.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automotive glass flipping machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that traditional glass flipping machines, when faced with diverse processing needs during use, only perform 180° face flipping, which is insufficient and makes it difficult to meet the current diverse processing requirements. In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an automotive glass flipping machine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: an automotive glass flipping machine, comprising a main support and a secondary support. A conveying platform is installed on the top of the main support, and an mounting frame is installed on the top of the secondary support. A glass flipping assembly is installed on one side of the mounting frame, and a reducer and a second motor are installed on the other side. The glass flipping assembly includes four sets of rotating frames, which are arranged in a cross structure. Each set of rotating frames consists of two rectangular profiles with a gap between them. An electric push rod is installed on one end of each rotating frame, and a third motor is installed on the other end. A suction cup is installed on one side of both the third motor and the electric push rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the automotive glass flipping machine ensures the stability and durability of the overall equipment through the stable structure of the main support and the auxiliary support. The conveying platform is installed on the top of the main support, which can smoothly receive and transport automotive glass, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent flipping operation of the glass flipping component.

[0009] Further configuration includes a rotatable connection between the suction cup and the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and a fixed connection between the output end of the third motor and the suction cup.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating connection design between the suction cup and the telescopic end of the electric push rod enables the suction cup to adapt to the rotation operation of automotive glass, improving the convenience and stability of automotive glass rotation, and enhancing the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0011] Furthermore, adjacent rotating frames are arranged at right angles, and support plates are welded between them, the support plates being triangular in structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjacent rotating frames are supported by right-angled foot plates, which allows the four sets of rotating frames to work closely together to form a stable overall frame, thereby enhancing the structural strength and stability of the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0013] Furthermore, the electric actuator and the third motor are both detachably mounted to the rotating frame via mounting plates, which allows for fine-tuning of their positions.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and disassembly of the electric push rod and the third motor become more convenient and quick, making it easier to maintain and service the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0015] Further configuration: the conveying platform consists of four sets of narrow conveyor belts, with gaps between adjacent conveyor belts to provide rotation space for the rotating frame; the four sets of conveyor belts operate synchronously via a first motor and conveyor rollers.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor platform can flexibly adapt to automotive glass of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the automotive glass flipping machine. At the same time, the gap formed between adjacent conveyor belts provides sufficient space for the rotation of the rotating frame, ensuring the smooth operation of the flipping operation.

[0017] Furthermore, a scissor lift platform is installed between the conveying platform and the main support to facilitate the transportation connection between the front and rear ends of the conveying platform.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the height of the conveyor platform can be flexibly adjusted, enabling seamless connection between the conveyor platform and the front and rear transport equipment, thus improving the continuity and efficiency of the entire production line. At the same time, the scissor lift platform also enables the automotive glass flipping machine to adapt to transport equipment of different heights, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0019] In a further configuration, the first motor, the second motor, the electric actuator, and the third motor are all electrically connected to an external power source via a controller.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, centralized control and unified management of all components of the automotive glass flipping machine are achieved, improving the automation level and ease of operation of the equipment. At the same time, it also enables the equipment to be flexibly adjusted and optimized according to different work requirements and workflows. Through the intelligent control function of the controller, the intelligence level and production efficiency of the equipment are improved.

[0021] Compared with related technologies, the automotive glass flipping machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This utility model provides an automotive glass flipping machine. Through the glass flipping assembly and the operation of the third motor, the automotive glass is precisely rotated according to a preset angle. At the same time, the rotating frame on the other side is ready to clamp the next piece of automotive glass, improving work efficiency. Subsequently, the second motor starts again, rotating the four sets of rotating frames, so that the clamped and rotated automotive glass is flipped 90° again, achieving a 180° flip compared to the initial position. This is beneficial for the automotive glass to not only flip 180°, but also rotate at a specified horizontal angle, thereby improving the environmental applicability of the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0023] This utility model provides an automotive glass flipping machine. A scissor-lift mechanism beneath the conveyor platform precisely raises and lowers the platform, ensuring it remains horizontally aligned with the previous conveyor. This guarantees a smooth and seamless connection of the automotive glass as it is transferred from the previous conveyor to the conveyor platform, preventing wobbling or damage due to height differences. This facilitates stable transmission and connection of the automotive glass. Subsequently, the conveyor platform begins transporting the automotive glass. During this process, the scissor-lift mechanism continues to function, flexibly adjusting the height of the conveyor platform according to the size of the automotive glass and transportation requirements. As the conveyor platform rises and falls, the automotive glass is accurately guided to the gap between two rectangular profiles in each set of rotating frames. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show typical embodiments of this utility model.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses an automotive glass flipping machine, comprising a main support 1 and a secondary support 4. A conveying platform 2 is mounted on the top of the main support 1, and a mounting frame 5 is mounted on the top of the secondary support 4. A glass flipping assembly 7 is mounted on one side of the mounting frame 5, and a reducer 601 and a second motor 602 are mounted on the other side. The glass flipping assembly 7 includes four sets of rotating frames 701 arranged in a cross structure. Each set of rotating frames 701 is composed of two rectangular profiles with a gap between them. An electric push rod 704 is mounted on one end of each rotating frame 701, and a third motor 706 is mounted on the other end. Both the third motor 706 and the electric push rod 704 have one side... Equipped with suction cups 705, the automotive glass flipping machine, through the stable structure of the main support 1 and the auxiliary support 4, ensures the stability and durability of the overall equipment. The conveying platform 2, installed on top of the main support 1, can smoothly receive and transport automotive glass, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent flipping operation of the glass flipping component 7. At the same time, the mounting frame 5 on the top of the auxiliary support 4, along with the glass flipping component 7, reducer 601, and second motor 602, enables efficient flipping of the automotive glass. The four sets of rotating frames 701 are arranged in a cross structure, which is compact and ensures the stability and accuracy of the flipping process, improving the working efficiency and flipping quality of the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the suction cup 705 is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 704, and the output end of the third motor 706 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 705. The rotatable connection design between the suction cup 705 and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 704 allows the suction cup 705 to adapt to the rotation operation of the automotive glass, improving the convenience and stability of the rotation of the automotive glass, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the clamping. At the same time, the output end of the third motor 706 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 705. Through the driving force of the third motor 706, the suction cup 705 is ensured to firmly clamp the automotive glass during the flipping process, avoiding the risk of the glass slipping or being damaged, and enabling stable rotation operation of the automotive glass.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, adjacent rotating frames 701 are arranged at right angles and are welded together with support plates 702. The support plates 702 are triangular in structure, and the right-angled support plates 702 between adjacent rotating frames 701 allow the four sets of rotating frames 701 to work closely together to form a stable overall frame, enhancing the structural strength and stability of the automotive glass flipping machine. At the same time, the triangular structure of the support plates 702 welded together not only further strengthens the connection between the rotating frames 701, but also improves the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the entire flipping assembly, ensuring the stability and durability of the automotive glass flipping machine during long-term use.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the electric actuator 704 and the third motor 706 are detachably mounted to the rotating frame 701 via the mounting plate 703. This allows for fine-tuning of the positions of the electric actuator 704 and the third motor 706, making their installation and removal more convenient and quick. This facilitates maintenance and upkeep of the automotive glass flipping machine. Furthermore, this detachable structure allows for fine-tuning of the positions of the electric actuator 704 and the third motor 706. By adjusting the mounting plate 703, the machine can better adapt to automotive glass of different sizes and shapes, improving its flexibility and applicability.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the conveying platform 2 consists of four sets of narrow conveyor belts with gaps between adjacent belts to provide rotation space for the rotating frame 701. The four conveyor belts operate synchronously via the first motor 3 and conveyor rollers, enabling the conveying platform 2 to flexibly adapt to different sizes of automotive glass, thus improving the versatility and flexibility of the automotive glass flipping machine. Simultaneously, the gaps between adjacent conveyor belts provide ample space for the rotation of the rotating frame 701, ensuring smooth flipping operations. Furthermore, the synchronous operation of the four conveyor belts via the first motor 3 and conveyor rollers, through the driving force of the first motor 3 and the transmission action of the conveyor rollers, ensures the stability and accuracy of the automotive glass during the conveying process, preventing glass offset or damage caused by asynchronous conveying.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a scissor lift platform is installed between the conveyor platform 2 and the main support 1. This platform is used to adapt to the transportation connection between the front and rear ends of the conveyor platform 2. It can flexibly adjust the height of the conveyor platform 2, enabling seamless connection between the conveyor platform 2 and the transportation equipment at the front and rear ends. This improves the continuity and efficiency of the entire production line. At the same time, the scissor lift platform also enables the automotive glass flipping machine to adapt to transportation equipment of different heights, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. In addition, the stable structure and reliable performance of the scissor lift platform ensure the safety and stability of the automotive glass during the lifting process, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first motor 3, the second motor 602, the electric push rod 704, and the third motor 706 are all electrically connected to an external power supply through a controller, realizing centralized control and unified management of various components of the automotive glass flipping machine. This improves the automation level and ease of operation of the equipment. At the same time, it also enables the equipment to be flexibly adjusted and optimized according to different work requirements and workflows. Through the intelligent control function of the controller, the intelligence level and production efficiency of the equipment are improved. In addition, the precise control of various components by the controller can also ensure the stability and safety of the equipment during operation, avoiding safety accidents caused by improper operation or equipment failure, and providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the automotive glass flipping machine.

[0039] In practice, the car glass is transported from the previous conveying device to the conveying platform 2. Simultaneously, a scissor lift mechanism below the conveying platform 2 is used to raise and lower it, ensuring that the conveying platform 2 is horizontally aligned with the previous conveying device. This facilitates stable transmission of the car glass. Subsequently, the car glass is transported using the conveying platform 2. During this process, the scissor lift mechanism raises and lowers the conveying platform 2, aligning the gaps between the car glass and the two rectangular profiles in each set of rotating frames 701. As the car glass is gradually transported until it is positioned within the gap between the two rectangular profiles in the corresponding rotating frame 701, the electric actuator 704 pushes the suction cup 705 to move its position. The electric actuator 704 and the suction cup 705 at the end of the third motor 706 clamp and fix the car glass. Then, the second electric... The machine 602 rotates four sets of rotating frames 701, causing the four sets of rotating frames 701 to rotate the car glass 90°. Then, the third motor 706 rotates the car glass by a specified angle. At the same time, one side of the rotating frame 701 clamps the next car glass. Then, the second motor 602 rotates the four sets of rotating frames 701, causing the clamped and rotated car glass to rotate 90° again. This achieves a 180° rotation and a fixed horizontal angle rotation of the car glass. Finally, the electric push rod 704 releases the clamp on the car glass, and the next conveying device transports the car glass. This improves the stability of the connection between the front and rear devices of the glass transport in the traditional glass flipping machine, and achieves a 180° rotation and a fixed horizontal angle rotation of the car glass, thus improving the environmental applicability of the glass flipping machine.

[0040] The conveyor platform 2 is raised and lowered by a scissor lifting mechanism and stably connected to the devices on both sides. The height and position are detected by photoelectric sensors. This technology is a traditional and conventional technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The advantages of this technical solution in practical applications include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0042] 1. By using a glass flipping assembly, the automotive glass can not only be flipped 180°, but also rotated at a specified horizontal angle, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the automotive glass flipping machine;

[0043] 2. The scissor lift mechanism below the conveyor platform performs precise lifting operations to keep it horizontally aligned with the previous conveyor device, ensuring a smooth and seamless connection when the car glass is transferred from the previous conveyor device to the conveyor platform.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
