Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic substrate glass manufacturing technology, and in particular to an air flotation transmission component that is compatible with multiple sizes. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic substrate glass, after the glass is finely processed and cleaned, it needs to be inspected and packaged. At this time, it is necessary to minimize the contact between the conveyor belt and the glass surface during the glass transfer process to reduce secondary contamination or damage to the finished product. Therefore, the air-floating conveyor method is generally used in the post-cleaning process. That is, the conveyor rollers contact the ineffective areas on both sides of the glass to provide the forward propulsion for the glass, and the middle area of ​​the glass uses air flotation to make the glass float on the upper side of the air flotation plate without contact and move forward. This can not only make the glass transfer smoothly, but also avoid the contamination or damage to the glass by the conveyor belt.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the invention with publication number CN103014635A, a photovoltaic glass sputtering carrier plate conveying device is disclosed. It consists of two conveying wheel guide posts on both sides and a recessed guide wheel in the middle under the cover of the photovoltaic glass carrier plate. The photovoltaic glass carrier plate moves by its own weight and the friction in the vacuum environment to complete the sputtering process.

[0004] The above findings indicate that because the glass's buoyancy at the air-bearing conveyor position is very small, the air-bearing plate and the two conveyor wheels are essentially at the same height. To ensure stable glass conveying, the glass's suspension distance needs to be reduced, resulting in the air-bearing plate and the conveyor wheels being relatively close in the horizontal direction. These factors make it difficult to adjust the horizontal position of the conveyor wheels. For small-sized glass conveyor wheels, the air-bearing plate cannot be adjusted inwards, as this would interfere with the wheel's position. For large-sized glass conveyor wheels, the air-bearing plate cannot be adjusted outwards, increasing the glass's suspension distance without air bearing and potentially causing unstable glass conveying. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is the difficulty in adjusting traditional conveying devices according to the actual size of the glass.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide an air-bearing transmission assembly compatible with multiple sizes, comprising:

[0007] A stand, on which a glass plate is placed;

[0008] The bracket is fixedly connected to the platform; and

[0009] The transmission mechanism is mounted on the platform.

[0010] The transmission mechanism includes two fixed plates, each fixedly connected to a frame and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support. Two cylinders are fixedly connected to the upper end of each fixed plate, and connecting plates are fixedly connected to the fixed ends of the cylinders. Air-bearing blocks are installed on the upper ends of the two connecting plates and the upper surface of the support. Two partitions are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support. Several servo motors are evenly slidably connected to both sides of the frame. The output ends of the servo motors pass through the partitions and are fixedly connected to transmission wheels. The effect achieved by these components is that the position of the servo motors can be adjusted according to the size of the glass plate, thereby adjusting the position of the transmission wheels, and the glass plate is conveyed by the transmission wheels.

[0011] In some embodiments, a support plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of several servo motors, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate, a slide bar is slidably connected inside the slide rail, and the slide bar is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that they enable the servo motor to slide laterally and adjust the position of the transmission wheel.

[0013] In some embodiments, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission wheel closest to the servo motor, and the size of the limiting plate is larger than the size of the transmission wheel.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is to restrict the lateral position of the glass plate.

[0015] In some embodiments, the upper end of the platform is provided with a driving mechanism, which includes a fixed block fixedly connected to the platform. A screw is rotatably connected inside the fixed block, and a circular plate is fixedly connected to one end of the screw. A retaining ring is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the circular plate, and one end of the retaining ring is fixedly connected to a partition plate. A retaining block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate, and the retaining block is threadedly connected to the screw.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the position of the servo motor can be adjusted by using a screw to drive the pallet to move.

[0017] In some embodiments, a disc is fixedly connected to the end of the screw away from the partition, and a handle is fixedly connected to the eccentric position of the disc.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is to facilitate the rotation of the disc to drive the screw.

[0019] In some embodiments, auxiliary mechanisms are provided on both sides of the platform. The auxiliary mechanisms include rectangular holes. The rectangular holes are opened on the platform. Fixed frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular holes of the platform. Electric actuators are fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frames. A slide plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric actuator. The size of the slide plate is adapted to the size of the rectangular holes. Several pulleys are evenly fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide plate.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that when it is necessary to move the platform, the electric actuator can be driven to move the pulley to contact the ground, and the platform can be moved by means of the pulley.

[0021] In some embodiments, grooves are provided on both sides of the slide plate, and limit strips are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two arms of the fixing frame at the positions corresponding to the grooves. The limit strips slide on the inner wall of the grooves of the slide plate.

[0022] The effect achieved by the above components is to restrict the movement of the skateboard.

[0023] The above technical solution allows for adjusting the position of the transmission wheel according to the size of the glass plate, enabling rapid transmission of the glass plate. The air flotation blocks are divided into multiple sections, with a cylinder at the lower end of the outermost air flotation block. When transmitting power to smaller glass plates, the cylinder can be activated to lower the air flotation blocks on both sides of the support, creating space for the transmission wheel and allowing for further adjustment of its position. The overall structure is compact, simple, and highly efficient, and it is compatible with glass plates of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automated processing line for photovoltaic cover glass, including a frame 1 on which a glass plate 2 is placed; a support 3 fixedly connected to the frame 1; and a transmission mechanism 4 on the frame 1. The upper end of the frame 1 is provided with a drive mechanism 5, and both sides of the frame 1 are provided with auxiliary mechanisms 6.

[0040] The specific setup and function of transmission mechanism 4, drive mechanism 5 and auxiliary mechanism 6 will be explained below.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the transmission mechanism 4 includes two fixed plates 401, which are respectively fixedly connected to the frame 1. The two fixed plates 401 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support 3. Two cylinders 402 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed plates 401. Connecting plates 403 are fixedly connected to the fixed end surfaces of the cylinders 402. Air floats 404 are installed on the upper ends of the two connecting plates 403 and the upper surface of the support 3. Two partitions 405 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1. The two partitions 405 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support 3. Several servo motors 406 are evenly slidably connected to both sides of the frame 1. The output ends of the servo motors 406 pass through the partitions 405, and the output ends of the servo motors 406 are fixedly connected to the transmission wheels 407. The position of the servo motors 406 can be adjusted according to the size of the glass plate 2, thereby adjusting the position of the transmission wheels 407, and the glass plate 2 is conveyed by the transmission wheels 407. A support plate 410 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of several servo motors 406. A slide rail 408 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 410. A slide bar 409 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 408 and is fixedly connected to the platform 1. This allows the servo motors 406 to slide laterally, adjusting the position of the transmission wheel 407. A limit plate 411 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission wheel 407 closest to the servo motor 406. The size of the limit plate 411 is larger than the size of the transmission wheel 407. This restricts the lateral position of the glass plate 2.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment: a drive mechanism 5 is provided at the upper end of the platform 1. The drive mechanism 5 includes a fixing block 51, which is fixedly connected to the platform 1. A screw 52 is rotatably connected inside the fixing block 51. A circular plate 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 52. A retaining ring 54 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the circular plate 53. One end of the retaining ring 54 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 405. A locking block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 410, and the locking block is threadedly connected to the screw 52. This achieves the effect of driving the support plate 410 to move by means of the screw 52, ​​thereby adjusting the position of the servo motor 406. A disc 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 52 away from the partition plate 405. A handle 56 is fixedly connected to the eccentric position of the disc 55. This achieves the effect of conveniently rotating the disc 55 to drive the screw 52 to rotate.

[0043] Reference Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: Auxiliary mechanisms 6 are provided on both sides of the platform 1. Each auxiliary mechanism 6 includes a rectangular hole 61, which is formed on the platform 1. Fixing frames 62 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular hole 61 on the platform 1. An electric actuator 63 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing frame 62. A sliding plate 64 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric actuator 63. The size of the sliding plate 64 matches the size of the rectangular hole 61. Several pulleys 65 are evenly fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 64. This achieves the effect of moving the platform 1 by driving the electric actuator 63 to move the pulleys 65 to contact the ground. Grooves are formed on both sides of the sliding plate 64. Limiting strips 66 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two arms of the fixing frame 62 corresponding to the groove positions. The limiting strips 66 slide within the grooves of the sliding plate 64, thus restricting the movement of the sliding plate 64.

[0044] Working principle: When it is necessary to drive the glass plate 2, first turn the handle 56. The handle 56 drives the disc 55 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 55 will drive the screw 52 to rotate. The screw 52 drives the support plate 410 to move through the thread. The support plate 410 drives the slide rail 408 to move along the slide bar 409. The servo motor 406 will drive the transmission wheel 407 to move. At this time, the transmission wheel 407 will move to the bottom of the glass plate 2. Then, the glass plate 2 is placed on the air float 404 of the bracket 3. At this time, the servo motor 406 can be started directly, so that the servo motor 406 drives the transmission wheel 407 to drive the glass plate 2. When it is necessary to drive a smaller glass plate 2, the cylinder 402 is activated, causing the air float 404 at the top to descend. At this time, the handle 56 can be turned, and the drive wheel 407 is moved further inward by the screw 52. When the drive wheel 407 moves below the glass plate 2, the screw 52 is stopped, thus achieving the effect of driving a small glass plate 2. The limiting plate 411 serves to limit the lateral position of the glass plate 2 when driving it.

[0045] When it is necessary to move the platform 1, directly activate the electric actuator 63 to move the slide plate 64 downward. The slide plate 64 will slide downward along the limit strips 66 on both sides inside the fixed frame 62. The slide plate 64 will drive the pulley 65 downward and extend it out of the rectangular hole 61 of the platform 1. At this time, the pulley 65 will contact the ground and lift the platform 1. The platform 1 can be moved with the help of the pulley 65. When it is moved to the appropriate position, the electric actuator 63 can be activated to retract the pulley 65.

[0046] The embodiments of this application have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this application, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.

[0047] While specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any manner.
