Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a glass flipping device includes a guide component 110, a walking device 120, a movable seat 130, a glass bearing component 140, and a flipping drive component 150. The walking device 120 is mounted on the movable seat 130 and is used to drive the movable seat 130 to move along the guide component 110. The glass bearing component 140 is pivotally connected to the movable seat 130. The flipping drive component 150 is mounted on the movable seat 130 and is used to drive the glass bearing component 140 to rotate. A glass anti-tipping component 160 is provided on the glass bearing component 140.

[0024] In use, the flipping drive component 150 drives the glass carrying component 140 to rotate downwards until the support interface is horizontal. During operation, the glass scrap can be pushed flat onto the glass carrying component 140. Then, the flipping drive component 150 drives the glass carrying component 140 to rotate upwards, flipping the glass by 85 degrees. Then, the traveling device 120 drives the moving seat 130 to move along the guide component 110, thus conveying the glass scrap. Therefore, the glass flipping device provided by this utility model, by employing the guide component 110, the traveling device 120, and the moving seat 130, can convey the glass scrap. The combination of the seat 130, the glass-bearing component 140, and the flipping drive component 150 allows the glass to be flipped without the need for manual operation, reducing operator involvement and workload. It also reduces operator contact with the glass, thereby reducing the risk of glass breakage or operator injuries due to misoperation, thus improving safety. Furthermore, the moving seat 130 can be driven by the walking device 120 to move along the guide component 110, thereby conveying the glass and facilitating its subsequent entry into the storage space of the storage area.

[0025] The glass-bearing component 140 includes a support frame 141, a lower bearing unit 142, and a side-mounted rolling unit 144. The lower bearing unit 142 is disposed at the lower end of the support frame 141 and is used to bear the glass. The side-mounted rolling unit 144 is disposed on the support frame 141 and includes multiple rolling wheels 145 for rolling cooperation with the side of the glass. Specifically, the lower bearing unit 142 includes multiple conveying rollers 143 arranged sequentially and rotatably mounted on the support frame 141. When the glass scrap is pushed onto the conveyor roller 143 of the lower support unit 142, the glass scrap abuts against the side rolling unit 144. When the traveling device 120 drives the moving seat 130 to move along the guide component 110 and convey the glass scrap to the corresponding storage space, the glass scrap can be pushed toward the storage space. At this time, the conveyor roller 143 of the lower support unit 142 supports the glass scrap and rolls with it. The multiple rolling wheels 145 of the side rolling unit 144 roll with the side of the glass scrap. In this way, the glass scrap can be pushed into the corresponding storage space, which can reduce friction and save pushing force.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the glass bearing component 140 further includes a conveying roller drive device, which drives the multiple conveying rollers 143 of the lower bearing unit 142 to rotate, thereby automatically conveying the glass scrap through the rotating conveying rollers 143, without the need for the operator to manually push the glass scrap, which can further reduce the workload of the operator.

[0027] The side-mounted rolling unit 144 includes a roller frame 146 and multiple roller seats 147. The roller frame 146 is mounted on a support frame 141, and the multiple roller seats 147 are mounted on the roller frame 146. Multiple rolling wheels 145 correspond one-to-one with the multiple roller seats 147, and the rolling wheels 145 are rotatably mounted on their respective roller seats 147. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the rolling wheels 145.

[0028] The glass anti-tipping component 160 includes a stop frame 161 opposite to the side-mounted rolling unit 144. After the glass scrap is pushed onto the conveying roller 143 of the lower-mounted bearing unit 142, the stop frame 161 prevents the glass scrap from falling off the conveying roller 143, thereby improving the stability of use.

[0029] The bottom of the stop frame 161 is connected to the support frame 141 via a connecting rod 162. This arrangement facilitates the connection between the stop frame 161 and the support frame 141.

[0030] A bearing 171 is provided on the glass support component 140, and a pivot shaft 172 is mounted on the movable seat 130. The pivot shaft 172 passes through the inner ring of the bearing 171. During the rotation of the glass support component 140 driven by the flipping drive component 150, the glass support component 140 rotates around the central axis of the pivot shaft 172. The cooperation between the bearing 171 and the pivot shaft 172 makes the rotation of the glass support component 140 smoother.

[0031] The flipping drive component 150 includes a cylinder, the cylinder body of which is hinged to the movable seat 130, and the piston rod of the cylinder is hinged to the glass support component 140. In use, the movement of the piston rod of the cylinder can drive the glass support component 140 to rotate.

[0032] Specifically, the piston rod of the cylinder is hinged to the support frame 141 of the glass bearing component 140.

[0033] The walking device 120 includes a drive roller 121 rotatably mounted on a movable seat 130, a power component 124 for driving the drive roller 121 to rotate, and a driven roller 122 rotatably mounted on the movable seat 130. The drive roller 121 and the driven roller 122 respectively roll in cooperation with the guide component 110. In use, the power component 124 drives the drive roller 121 to rotate. At this time, the drive roller 121 rolls along the guide component 110 to drive the movable seat 130 to move. The driven roller 122 rolls along the guide component 110 as the movable seat 130 moves.

[0034] The drive roller 121 is fixed on the rotating shaft 123, and the drive roller 121 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 130 via the rotating shaft 123; the power component 124 includes a motor, which drives the rotating shaft 123 to rotate. In use, the motor drives the rotating shaft 123 to rotate, thereby driving the drive roller 121 to rotate.

[0035] In this embodiment, both ends of the rotating shaft 123 are provided with driving rollers 121. The driving rollers 121 are rotatably mounted on the front end of the movable seat 130 via the rotating shaft 123. Driven rollers 122 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the rear end of the movable seat 130. By adopting the above configuration, the stability of the movement of the movable seat 130 can be improved.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide component 110 includes two guide rails arranged opposite to each other. The driving rollers 121 at both ends of the rotating shaft 123 are respectively in rolling cooperation with the two guide rails. The driven rollers 122 on both sides of the rear end of the movable seat 130 are respectively in rolling cooperation with the two guide rails, thereby further improving the stability of the movement of the movable seat 130.

[0037] Of course, in addition to the above, the guide component 110 can also be any of the existing guide components 110 on the market, such as rails. However, the preferred embodiment of this utility model is to use two guide rails arranged opposite to each other, which can play a guiding role while also reducing costs.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
