Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the float glass production process, the yield of thin float glass is affected by factors such as the location of the fault point. To improve product quality, the glass dimensions on the production line are usually adjusted and optimized, adopting a vertical stacking production method (i.e., the height of the produced glass is greater than its width). However, during the internal transfer within the production workshop and after-sales transportation, the vertically stacked glass bundles are extremely unstable due to unreasonable stress distribution, making them prone to transportation accidents. This not only increases transportation costs and risks but may also cause glass damage and a decline in product quality, seriously affecting the normal operation of production and sales.

[0003] Therefore, developing an offline flipping device that can convert vertically stacked glass packages into conventional stacking methods is of great significance. This effectively solves the safety and technical challenges in the transportation process, ensures the smooth operation of glass production, transportation, and sales, and thereby enhances the economic benefits and market competitiveness of enterprises.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] In the float glass production process, the yield of thin float glass is affected by factors such as the location of the fault point. To improve product quality, the glass dimensions on the production line are usually adjusted and optimized, adopting a vertical stacking production method (i.e., the height of the produced glass is greater than its width). However, during the internal transfer within the production workshop and after-sales transportation, the vertically stacked glass bundles are extremely unstable due to unreasonable stress distribution, making them prone to transportation accidents. This not only increases transportation costs and risks but may also cause glass damage and a decline in product quality, seriously affecting the normal operation of production and sales.

[0050] This embodiment provides an offline flipping mechanism for vertically stacked glass casks, which can quickly and safely convert vertically stacked glass casks into a conventional stacking method. The specific structure includes:

[0051] First flip pivot axis 1;

[0052] A first glass support frame 2, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first flipping fulcrum shaft 1, and the first glass support frame 2 can be flipped using the first flipping fulcrum shaft 1.

[0053] The second glass support frame 3 has one end connected to the end of the first glass support frame 2 near the first flip fulcrum axis 1; the first glass support frame 2 and the second glass support frame 3 can form an L-shaped structure.

[0056] The offline flipping mechanism for vertically stacked glass packages provided by this utility model includes a first flipping fulcrum shaft, a first glass support frame, a second glass support frame, a third glass support frame, and a fixing mechanism. Through a unique mechanical design, it can quickly and safely convert vertically stacked glass packages into a conventional glass package stacking form; effectively solve the safety technical problems in the transportation process, and ensure the smooth operation of glass production, transportation, and sales. This mechanism has a simple structure, occupies a small area, and is easy to operate.

[0057] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first flipping pivot shaft 1 is fixed on the ground, flipping the first glass support frame 2 to a vertical state, the second glass support frame 3 to a horizontal state, and the third glass support frame 4 to be flipped to fit the first glass support frame 2 on the side closer to the second glass support frame 3.

[0058] The glass stack 6 is hoisted onto the offline flipping mechanism, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, glass package 6 is in Figure 2 In this state, the bottom surface A of the stacked glass bundle 6 is placed on the second glass support frame 3, and the side surface B of the stacked glass bundle 6 is attached to the third glass support frame 4; the stacked glass bundle 6 is fixed using the fixing mechanism 5; as... Figure 3 As shown, the first glass support frame 2 is then flipped to a near-horizontal state, the second glass support frame 3 is moved to a near-vertical state, and the stacked glass bundles 6 are also in a near-vertical position.

Preferably, the two first rods 511 are perpendicular to the plane of the third glass support frame 4. Figure 1 As shown, the stacked glass package 6 is placed on the second glass support frame 3 and its side abuts against the first glass support frame 2. The lengths of the first rods 511 on both sides are adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the stacked glass package 6. The crossbar 512 is inserted to secure the stacked glass package 6 between the crossbar 512 and the third glass support frame 4, thus forming a fixed structure.

The top of the compression rod 5212 is provided with a spiral rod structure 5213. By rotating the spiral rod 5213, a compression can be formed on the second rod 5211, thereby fixing the second rod 5211 to the vertical stacked glass package 6.

The second glass support frame 3 and the first glass support frame 2 can be fixedly connected or flipped. When the second glass support frame 3 is flipped, when the stacked glass bundles 6 are flipped a second time, the second glass support frame 3 can be flipped back to its initial horizontal state, making the second flipping of the stacked glass bundles 6 easier to perform.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure includes two third rods 31 that are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the second glass support frame 3 and connected to the first glass bracket frame 2; the top of the third rods 31 and the top of the second glass support frame 3 are provided with pin holes, and also includes pin rods 32. The pin rods 32 are inserted into the two pin holes to fix the second glass support frame 3 and make the second glass support frame 3 and the first glass support frame 2 form an L-shaped structure.
