Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production technology, and in particular to an automatic glass feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with the addition of a small amount of auxiliary raw materials. Its main components are silicon dioxide and other oxides.

[0003] In the glass production process, the formed glass blanks need to be cut into the required specifications on the worktable. During this process, the glass blanks need to be transferred using an electromagnetic chuck in conjunction with a robotic arm. However, the electromagnetic chucks are prone to overheating and failure during continuous operation, so the machine needs to be stopped for maintenance every now and then, which will affect the efficiency of glass production and has certain shortcomings. Therefore, we propose an automatic glass feeding device. Utility Model Content

An adjustment mechanism is installed inside the first sliding groove. The adjustment mechanism passes through the first sliding groove and is connected to a clamping mechanism. The top of the mounting frame has second sliding grooves on both sides. The two sides of the two second sliding grooves are slidably connected to second movable plates. The second movable plates pass through the second sliding grooves and are fixed to the clamping mechanism. An electromagnetic chuck is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention mounts a mounting frame on a robotic arm, which then moves the mounting frame to allow the electromagnetic chuck to attract the glass blank. An adjustment mechanism is then activated, using the adjustment mechanisms on both sides to bring the clamping mechanism closer to the glass blank. The clamping mechanism is then activated to clamp the glass blank, and after clamping, the electromagnetic chuck is deactivated. The glass blank is then fed onto the worktable.

An adjustment mechanism 3 is installed inside the first sliding groove 2. The adjustment mechanism 3 passes through the first sliding groove 2 and is connected to a clamping mechanism 5. The top of the mounting frame 1 has second sliding grooves 4 on both sides. The two sides of the two second sliding grooves 4 are slidably connected to second movable plates 6. The second movable plates 6 pass through the second sliding grooves 4 and are fixed to the clamping mechanism 5. An electromagnetic chuck 7 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1.

The first bevel gear 33 and the second bevel gear 36 are meshed and driven. The housing 34 and the first movable plate 37 are slidably connected to the first slide groove 2. The first movable plate 37 is fixed to the side of the clamping mechanism 5. The clamping mechanism 5 includes a first clamping plate 51 fixed to the side of the first movable plate 37 and the second movable plate 6. An electric push rod 52 is installed on the top of the first clamping plate 51.

The second clamping plate 54 has an L-shaped structure and is slidably connected to the first clamping plate 51. In this invention, the mounting frame is mounted on a robotic arm, and the robotic arm drives the mounting frame to move, causing the electromagnetic chuck to adsorb the glass blank. Then, the adjustment mechanism is activated, and the adjustment mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanism to approach the glass blank. The clamping mechanism is then activated to clamp the glass blank. After clamping, the electromagnetic chuck is closed, and the glass blank is then loaded onto the worktable.

The second bevel gear 36, through meshing with the first bevel gear 33, drives the threaded sleeve 32 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 32, through threaded transmission with the threaded post 31, drives the housing 34 and the first movable plate 37 to move within the first slide groove 2. The first movable plate 37 drives the clamping mechanism 5, causing the clamp to... The holding mechanism 5 is brought close to the side of the glass blank, so that the glass blank is inserted into the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 54. The glass blank is close to the first buffer pad 53 in the first clamping plate 51. The electric push rod 5 is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod 52 drives the second clamping plate 54, so that the second clamping plate 54 drives the second buffer pad 55 to approach the glass blank and clamp the glass blank. Then the electromagnetic chuck 7 is turned off. The mechanical arm is used in conjunction with this device to transport the glass blank to the processing table. Then the electric push rod 52 is activated in reverse to release the glass blank.
