Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulating glass thickness detection technology, and in particular to a tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass. Background Technology
[0002] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221620094U, which discloses a tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass, relating to the field of thickness detection tools. The tool includes a support column and a detection marking mechanism. A conveyor belt is installed on the inner side of the support column, and the detection marking mechanism is located above the conveyor belt. This mechanism, through its mounting components, allows it to work with detectors to detect the thickness of the insulating glass. The use of seven detectors enables the mechanism to simultaneously detect the entire surface of the insulating glass, preventing incomplete detection and the release of substandard glass. The marking component allows for the application of paint from the top chamber to the corresponding location of a defective product when a defective product is detected. This marking helps manufacturers identify frequently occurring defects and optimize production.
[0003] The aforementioned patent for a tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass has the following shortcomings: it lacks a mechanism for positioning the insulating glass. The thickness detection of insulating glass mainly involves detecting the corner, edge, and centerline positions. The lack of a positioning function requires operators to perform manual positioning, which is cumbersome and inefficient, affecting the efficiency of thickness detection. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass includes a conveyor. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor. A mounting plate is provided on the top of the conveyor. Three detection mechanisms are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the mounting plate. The bottom of each of the two connecting rods is fixedly connected to the same horizontal plate. Two I-shaped wheels are fixedly connected to both sides of the horizontal plate. Rollers are fitted onto the I-shaped wheels and rotatably connected to the I-shaped wheels. A square plate is fitted onto the rollers. An inclined groove is formed on the square plate, and the rollers are disposed in the inclined groove. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the square plate. The tops of the two L-shaped plates on the same side are fixedly connected to the same fixing plate. Two first insert rods are fixedly connected to the fixing plate near the U-shaped frame. The first insert rods are fitted with first sleeves and slidably connected to the first sleeves. The two first sleeves on the same side are fixedly connected to... The same positioning plate has a first spring inside the first sleeve. Because a descending detection mechanism is used, the positioning plate can move closer to the insulating glass. Therefore, if the positioning plate continues to move after contacting the insulating glass, it can position the insulating glass, centering it. The ascending detection mechanism then moves the positioning plate away from the insulating glass, preventing further contact. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art: existing devices lack a mechanism for positioning the insulating glass. Insulating glass thickness detection mainly involves detecting corner, edge, and centerline positions. The lack of a positioning function requires manual positioning by the operator, which is cumbersome and inefficient, affecting the efficiency of thickness detection. This solution achieves the technical effect of simple operation, accurate positioning of the insulating glass, saving time and effort, reducing errors caused by positional deviations, and thus improving the accuracy of thickness measurement.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor, and the output end of the cylinder passes through the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the detection mechanism includes a second sleeve, a second insert rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sleeve, an infrared ranging sensor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second insert rod, and the same second spring is sleeved on both the second insert rod and the second sleeve.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, guide rods are provided at both ends of the mounting plate, the mounting plate is slidably connected to the guide rods, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top of the bracket is fixedly connected to two third sleeves, the inner wall of the third sleeve is slidably connected to a third insert rod, and both the third insert rod and the third sleeve are fitted with a third spring.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the third insert rod is fixedly connected to the square plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention addresses the issue of existing devices lacking a mechanism for positioning the insulating glass unit (IGU). IGU thickness measurement primarily involves detecting corner, edge, and center positions, requiring manual positioning by operators, which is cumbersome and inefficient, thus hindering thickness measurement efficiency. This invention simplifies operation, enables IGU positioning, saves time and effort, reduces errors caused by positional deviations, and ultimately improves the accuracy of thickness measurement.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementing regulations.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6A tool for detecting the thickness of insulating glass includes a conveyor 1. A U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor 1. A mounting plate 3 is installed on the top of the conveyor 1. Three detection mechanisms are installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 3. Connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the mounting plate 3. The bottom of the two connecting rods 4 is fixedly connected to the same horizontal plate 5. Two I-shaped wheels 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the horizontal plate 5. Rollers 7 are fitted onto the I-shaped wheels 6 and are rotatably connected to the I-shaped wheels 6. A square plate 8 is fitted onto the square plate 8. An inclined groove 9 is opened on the square plate 8 and the roller 7 is placed in the inclined groove 9. An L-shaped plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the square plate 8. The tops of the two L-shaped plates 10 on the same side are fixedly connected to the same fixing plate 11. Two first insert rods 12 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11 on the side near the U-shaped frame 2. The first insert rods 12 are fitted with first sleeves 13 and are slidably connected to the first sleeves 13. The two first sleeves 13 on the same side are fixedly connected to... With the same positioning plate 14, the first sleeve 13 is equipped with a first spring 1301. Due to the use of a descending detection mechanism that allows the positioning plate to move closer to the insulating glass, the positioning plate can be positioned and centered after it contacts the insulating glass. The ascending detection mechanism can then move the positioning plate away from the insulating glass, preventing it from contacting it again. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art that existing devices lack a mechanism for positioning the insulating glass. Insulating glass thickness detection mainly involves detecting corner, edge, and centerline positions. The lack of a positioning function requires manual positioning by the operator, which is cumbersome and inefficient, affecting the efficiency of thickness detection. This solution achieves the technical effect of simple operation, positioning of the insulating glass, saving time and effort, reducing errors caused by positional deviation, and thus improving the accuracy of thickness measurement.
[0025] In this embodiment, a cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor 1, and the output end of the cylinder 15 passes through the U-shaped frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3.
[0026] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism includes a second sleeve 16, a second insert rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sleeve 16, an infrared ranging sensor 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second insert rod 17, and the same second spring 19 is sleeved on both the second insert rod 17 and the second sleeve 16.
[0027] In this embodiment, guide rods 20 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 3, the mounting plate 3 is slidably connected to the guide rods 20, and the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, a bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame of the conveyor 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the top of the bracket 21 is fixedly connected to two third sleeves 22, and the inner wall of the third sleeve 22 is slidably connected to a third insert rod 23. Both the third insert rod 23 and the third sleeve 22 are fitted with a third spring 24.
[0030] In this embodiment, the third insertion rod 23 is fixedly connected to the square plate 8.
[0031] Working Principle: When using this device, the insulating glass unit can be placed on the conveyor belt of conveyor 1. Start the drive motor of conveyor 1 to move the insulating glass unit to below the detection mechanism. Pause conveyor 1, causing the output end of cylinder 15 to extend. The output end of cylinder 15 will then lower the mounting plate 3, which in turn will lower the detection mechanism. The infrared ranging sensor 18 will then contact the insulating glass unit. The infrared light emitted by the infrared ranging sensor 18 passes through the insulating glass unit and onto the conveyor belt of conveyor 1. The reflected measurement information is transmitted to the microcontroller inside the infrared ranging sensor 18. The microcontroller processes the data, and the processed data is sent via serial communication to the detector mounted on the outer wall of conveyor 1. The display screen shows that after detecting one end of the insulating glass, the output end of cylinder 15 is retracted, causing the detection mechanism to rise and the conveyor 1 to continue working, moving the insulating glass a certain distance. The conveyor 1 is then paused again, and the output end of cylinder 15 is extended again. The same steps are followed to detect the thickness of the insulating glass. When the mounting plate 3 descends, it also causes the connecting rod 4 to descend, which in turn causes the horizontal plate 5 to descend. The horizontal plate 5 causes the I-beam wheel 6 to descend, which in turn causes the roller 7 to descend. The roller 7 then presses against the square plate 8, causing it to move. The square plate 8 then causes the third insert rod 23 to move along the third sleeve 22. At the same time, the square plate 8 presses against the third spring 24, causing the third spring 24 to retract. When the square plate 8 moves towards the third sleeve 22, it will cause the L-shaped plate 10 to move. The L-shaped plate 10 will then cause the fixing plate 11 to move. The fixing plate 11 will then cause the first insert rod 12 to move. The first insert rod 12 will then cause the first spring 1301 to move. The first spring 1301 will then cause the first sleeve 13 to move. The first sleeve 13 will then cause the positioning plate 14 to move closer to the insulating glass, thus positioning the insulating glass and centering it. When detecting glass that is thicker and narrower, if the mounting plate 3 continues to descend after the infrared ranging sensor 18 contacts the insulating glass, it will cause the second insert rod 17 to move along the second sleeve 16. The second insert rod 17 will then compress the second spring. 19 causes the second spring 19 to contract. Through the reaction force of the second spring 19, the infrared ranging sensor 18 can remain in contact with the insulating glass. Then the positioning plate 14 contacts the insulating glass. When detecting a wider insulating glass, the positioning plate 14 will contact the insulating glass first. At this time, the infrared ranging sensor 18 continues to descend, which can move the first insert rod 12 inside the first sleeve 13 and also cause the first spring 1301 to contract. Then the infrared ranging sensor 18 contacts the insulating glass again. When the output end of the cylinder 15 retracts, the roller 7 can rise. The roller 7 will press the square plate 8 again, causing the square plate 8 to move away from the third sleeve 22, which can move the positioning plate 14 away from the insulating glass.
