DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to better understand and implement, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0025] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be explained that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and is not indicative or suggestive of the device or element indicated must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore, it can not be understood as the limitation of the utility model.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0027] Reference is made to Figs. 1 to 4The utility model discloses a glass guiding conveying device, include: workstation 10 and positioning alignment assembly, workstation 10 is equipped with conveying track, and conveying track is along a conveying direction and conveys workpiece, and positioning alignment assembly includes guide 40, first positioning piece 20 and second positioning piece 30, and first positioning piece 20 and second positioning piece 30 are arranged on the both sides of conveying track respectively, and interval formation is positioned interval, and guide 40 is arranged in the starting end of conveying track and is used to guide workpiece to enter positioning interval in alignment state.

[0028] On the basis of above-mentioned structure, take the Y axis direction (also namely the length direction of workpiece) of workstation 10 as example and illustrate, when assembling, guide 40 can be set up in one side of conveying track, and first positioning piece 20 or second positioning piece 30 is set up oppositely, and specific guide 40 can be a group of rolling wheels, and these rolling wheels are set up in one side of the starting end of conveying track along conveying direction, and make it move close to or away from conveying track through driving part or by external force, when workpiece enters the starting end of conveying track, guide 40 can move close to conveying track, at this time, the edge of workpiece is contacted with rolling wheel, since rolling wheel can rotate freely, the edge will roll along rolling wheel under the power of workpiece forward conveying, and the group of rolling wheels will generate a lateral force to the edge of workpiece, at this time, first positioning piece 20 or second positioning piece 30 exerts a reverse blocking force to the other side of workpiece, and prevent the displacement of workpiece in this direction, and gradually guide workpiece to the correct position, which is similar to guide a flat object with a group of rotatable small cylinders, and make its position adjusted during movement, and make workpiece gradually align.

[0029] In addition, guide 40 can also be pneumatic push plate or elastic push plate, and also install it in one side of the starting end of conveying track, and first positioning piece 20 or second positioning piece 30 is set up oppositely, when workpiece enters the starting end of conveying track, the clamping piece will move towards conveying track (for pneumatic push plate) or under the action of its own elasticity (for elastic push plate) under the drive of pneumatic device, and generate a lateral force to the edge of workpiece, since there is first positioning piece 20 or second positioning piece 30 on the other side of guide 40, at this time, first positioning piece 20 or second positioning piece 30 exerts a reverse blocking force to the other side of workpiece, and prevent the displacement of workpiece in this direction, and make the two sides of workpiece receive two reverse forces, and only adjust its posture in the direction of the two forces under the common action of the two forces, and gradually align.

[0030] Of course, the guide 40 can also be provided with two, and the two guides 40 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the starting end of the conveying track, and the above-mentioned effect can also be achieved, so that the workpiece enters the positioning interval after being initially aligned, and after the workpiece enters the positioning interval in the aligned state, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 on both sides of the positioning interval clamp the two sides of the workpiece, so that the workpiece shell always remains in the aligned state and then enters the next machining position to start polishing, thereby reducing the probability of irregular cutting of the workpiece due to misalignment in the subsequent process.

[0031] It should be noted that the conveying track in the embodiment can be formed by a conveyor belt or a synchronous belt structure provided on the workbench 10, and the conveyor belt or the synchronous belt is driven to move by a driving mechanism and a transmission mechanism, so that the workpiece can be conveyed in a specified conveying direction. The first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 can also be formed by a positioning plate or a plurality of rolling wheels, and during assembly, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member are oppositely and spaced apart on both sides of the conveying track to form a positioning interval between them.

[0032] Further, the first positioning member 20 includes a first positioning plate 21, a first positioning plate driving member 23, and a plurality of first positioning wheels 22. The plurality of first positioning wheels 22 form a first positioning surface in the conveying direction, and the plurality of first positioning wheels 22 are rotatably mounted on the first positioning plate 21 and are spaced apart in the conveying direction. The first positioning plate driving member 23 is used to drive the first positioning plate 21 to approach or move away from the conveying track.

[0033] On the basis of this structure, since the first positioning plate 21 can move towards or away from the conveying track, the spacing between the two sides of the positioning interval is adjustable. Therefore, when the size of the workpiece is too large or too small, the first positioning plate 21 can be driven to move towards or away from the conveying track by the first positioning plate driving member 23, so as to adjust the size of the positioning interval in real time to adapt to the workpiece. Thus, the device can be suitable for workpieces of various specifications and has a wide range of applications.

[0034] Specifically, when the device is in an initial state, the operator can start the first positioning plate driving member 23 (which can be a cylinder drive or a drive motor, etc.) to adjust the position of the first positioning plate 21 according to the size of the actual workpiece to be processed, so that the size of the positioning interval is adapted to the workpiece to be processed. Then, the guide 40 is oppositely arranged with the first positioning plate 21, and when the workpiece enters the starting end of the conveying track, the guide 40 and the plurality of first positioning wheels 22 on the first positioning plate 21 jointly guide the workpiece to align and enter the positioning interval. At this time, the two sides of the workpiece are simultaneously abutted by the first positioning plate 21 and the second positioning member 30, so that the two sides of the workpiece are not easy to deviate or tilt, and the workpiece can remain in the aligned state and enter the next machining position.

[0035] More specifically, since the workpiece usually has a certain length, in the embodiment, the plurality of first positioning wheels 22 are formed into a first positioning surface in the conveying direction (i.e. the length direction of the workpiece), so that the length direction of the workpiece can always be abutted by the first positioning surface after the workpiece enters the conveying track, and thus the other side of the workpiece can be pushed or abutted in real time under the action of the guide 40 and the second positioning member 30, so that the workpiece can be kept in the aligned state.

[0036] In addition, since the first positioning wheel 22 usually has good rotation performance and small friction, when the conveying track slightly vibrates due to the operation of the machine, the first positioning wheel 22 can buffer the influence of the vibration on the position of the workpiece through its own rotation, ensuring that the workpiece always remains in the correct machining position and reducing the edge grinding error caused by the position deviation.

[0037] It should be noted that the number of specific first positioning wheels 22 can be set according to the length of the workpiece. Since the workpiece in the embodiment is glass, the outer surface material of the first positioning wheel 22 can be a material with certain elasticity such as rubber or soft plastic, which can effectively avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece when it abuts against the side of the workpiece.

[0038] In addition, the mounting seat is provided on the workbench 10, and the slide rail 241 is provided on the mounting seat during assembly. The bottom of the first positioning plate 21 is provided with the sliding block 211, and the sliding block 211 is slidably connected with the slide rail 241. In this way, when the first positioning plate 21 moves close to or away from the conveying track, the sliding block 211 and the slide rail 241 can be slidably matched, so that the first positioning plate 21 moves more smoothly during the movement and is not easy to jam.

[0039] As a preferred, the slide rail 241 in the embodiment can adopt an existing cross slide rail 241 (such as a ball cross slide rail 241 or a linear module cross slide rail 241, etc.).

[0040] Further, the second positioning member 30 includes a plurality of second positioning wheels 31, and the plurality of second positioning wheels 31 are arranged in the conveying direction, so that the plurality of second positioning wheels 31 are formed into a second positioning surface in the conveying direction (i.e. the length direction of the workpiece). In this way, when the workpiece enters the positioning interval, the two sides of the workpiece each have a certain length of the positioning surface. The first positioning wheel 22 at the front end first contacts and aligns the workpiece, and the first positioning wheels 22 and the second positioning wheels 31 at the middle and rear parts relay to keep the position of the workpiece stable, thereby ensuring that the position of the workpiece is relatively accurate in the entire machining process (such as edge grinding).

[0041] In addition, longer workpieces are more prone to vibration during conveying, which can cause the workpieces to collide with the conveying track or other equipment components, thereby damaging the workpieces. The first positioning wheels 22 and the second positioning wheels 31 on both sides of the positioning interval can suppress vibration, and can timely apply a counteracting force when the workpiece vibrates, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and improving the stability of workpiece conveying.

[0042] Preferably, the guide 40 in this embodiment includes at least two guide wheels 41, which form a guide surface in the conveying direction, and the guide surface is located inward of the second positioning surface.

[0043] Specifically, if the starting end of the conveying track is as wide as the positioning interval, the workpiece is prone to collide with the edge of the positioning interval during the process of being straightened by the guide 40 due to position adjustment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the at least two guide wheels 41 and the second positioning surface are arranged on the same side and are recessed relative to the second positioning surface, that is, the second positioning surface is convex on the guide surface. In this way, the width between the starting end of the guide surface of the conveying track and the first positioning surface is wider than the width of the positioning interval. The wider starting end can ensure that the workpiece has sufficient space during the swinging process and will not be damaged due to collision with the edge, thereby indirectly reducing the probability of damage to the workpiece during the straightening process.

[0044] More specifically, since the guide wheels 41 mainly generate rolling friction when guiding the workpiece to be straightened, the rolling friction coefficient is much smaller than that of other guiding methods, so that the friction force is relatively small after the guide wheels 41 come into contact with the workpiece. The workpiece can move more smoothly at the starting end of the conveying track, so that the workpiece can be straightened more efficiently during the process of being guided to the straightened position. In addition, the smaller friction force can also reduce damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0045] Further, the guide 40 further includes a guide plate 42 and a guide plate driving member 43, which is used to drive the guide plate 42 to move close to or away from the conveying track. The at least two guide wheels 41 are rotatably installed on the guide plate 42 and guide the workpiece to be straightened when the guide plate 42 moves close to the conveying track.

[0046] Specifically, since the guide plate 42 can move close to or away from the conveying track in real time under the driving of the guide plate driving member 43, the guide wheels 41 can also move close to or away from the edge of the workpiece in real time, so as to adapt to workpieces of different widths. By adjusting the distance between the guide wheels 41 and the edge of the workpiece and abutting against the edge of the workpiece during the process of moving close to the workpiece, the guide wheels 41 can apply a force to the side of the workpiece of different widths in real time, thereby guiding the workpiece of different widths to be straightened.

[0047] It should be noted that the guide plate driving member 43 in the embodiment can be selected from existing air cylinder driving or driving motor, etc.

[0048] Further, the second positioning member 30 further comprises a second positioning plate 32 and a second positioning plate driving member 33, the second positioning plate driving member 33 is used to drive the second positioning plate 32 to move close to or away from the conveying track, and the plurality of second positioning wheels 31 are rotatably installed on the second positioning plate 32 and abut against the workpiece when the second positioning plate 32 moves close to the conveying track.

[0049] On the basis of the structure, during assembly, the second positioning driving member (such as air cylinder driving or driving motor, etc.) drives the second positioning plate 32 to move close to or away from the conveying track, so that the plurality of second positioning wheels 31 rotatably installed on the second positioning plate 32 can also move close to or away from the conveying track, so that when entering the positioning interval, if the workpiece has not been completely adjusted, the plurality of second positioning wheels 31 can be driven to move close to or away from the side of the workpiece again, and move close to the workpiece and push the workpiece to further correct the position of the workpiece.

[0050] Further, two positioning columns 25 are arranged on the workbench 10, and the two positioning columns 25 are respectively located at two ends of the first positioning plate 21 and are used to support the first positioning plate 21.

[0051] Specifically, during assembly, the two positioning columns 25 on the workbench 10 can be respectively supported on the two sides of the first positioning plate 21, so that the first positioning plate 21 is more stable after installation, and the two ends of the first positioning plate 21 do not shake due to the length being too long, which affects the normal use of the first positioning wheel 22.

[0052] It should be noted that the positioning column 25 can be detachably connected with the first positioning plate 21 and the workbench 10 by clamping or threaded connection, and when the position of the first positioning plate 21 needs to be adjusted, the positioning column 25 is only needed to be disassembled, the first positioning plate 21 is adjusted, and then the positioning column 25 is assembled, so that the position of the first positioning plate 21 can be adjusted at any time.

[0053] Further, the workbench 10 is further provided with a positioning frame 11, the positioning frame 11 is located between the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 and is used to support the workpiece.

[0054] Specifically, when the workpiece (such as glass) enters the positioning interval, due to the weight of the workpiece itself, especially for larger size and thicker glass, a larger pressure will be generated, if only the support of the two sides of the conveying track or the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30, the glass may move or break due to vibration during the conveying process, therefore, in the embodiment, the positioning frame 11 is arranged between the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30, so as to support the bottom of the workpiece by the positioning member, and the weight of the glass is evenly distributed to the contact surface between the positioning frame 11 and the glass, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the glass is damaged or moves due to excessive local stress, and the glass can be kept flat during the conveying and processing.

[0055] More specifically, the positioning frame 11 is provided with a plurality of supporting wheels 111, due to the rolling performance of the supporting wheels 111, the supporting wheels 111 can effectively reduce the friction between the workpiece and the positioning frame 11, so that when the workpiece is conveyed to the next processing station, the resistance caused by the friction can be effectively reduced due to the existence of the supporting wheels 111, so that the workpiece conveying process is more smooth, and the workpiece conveying efficiency is improved; in addition, the smaller friction can also reduce the damage to the surface of the workpiece, and reduce the risk of damage during the workpiece conveying process.

[0056] The technical means disclosed in the utility model scheme is not only limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, but also includes the technical scheme composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, some improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also considered as the protection scope of the utility model.
