Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of glass handling technology, and more particularly to a rotating glass bracket. Background Technology
[0002] In the current cover glass manufacturing industry, float glass production technology is the primary method for manufacturing cover glass. In this process, after the glass sheets complete the cold-end production process, they need to be stacked. Specifically, the finished glass sheets are placed onto wooden pallets on stacking trolleys via a stacking system for subsequent storage and transportation.
[0003] However, once the stacked quantity reaches the preset requirement, the stacking trolley needs to be moved out of the stacker crane's working range. At this point, a manually operated forklift intervenes, moving the wooden pallets containing the glass panels from the stacking area to the laminating workshop. In the laminating workshop, workers need to manually flip each glass panel from a flat position to a standing position, a process that is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.
[0004] Furthermore, this manual flipping process can easily cause additional damage to the glass, increasing production costs and making quality control more difficult. Due to the inherent uncertainty of manual operation, this damage may lead to inconsistencies in product quality, affecting the product's market competitiveness. Utility Model Content
[0005] One of the technical problems that this disclosure aims to solve is the need to manually flip each glass plate from a flat position to a standing position.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a rotating glass bracket, comprising:
[0007] Support frame;
[0008] A shelf is mounted on a support frame. The shelf includes a first rectangular plate and a second rectangular plate. The first side of the first rectangular plate and the second side of the second rectangular plate are angled to form a support surface, which is used to support stacked glass.
[0009] The support frame can drive the shelf to rotate around the horizontal axis.
[0010] In some embodiments, the support frame is provided with a rotating component for limiting the rotation of the shelf relative to the support frame about a horizontal axis.
[0011] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly includes limiting seats disposed on opposite sides of the top surface of the support frame, the limiting seats being used to limit the rotation direction of the support frame.
[0012] In some embodiments, rotating rods are provided on both sides of the connection between the first rectangular plate and the second rectangular plate, and the rotating rods are rotatably disposed within the limiting seat.
[0013] In some embodiments, the limiting seat is provided with a through hole for inserting a rotating rod, which can rotate within the through hole.
[0014] In some embodiments, the support frame includes a horizontally positioned support base.
[0015] In some embodiments, the shelf is disposed on the support base, and the surfaces of the first rectangular plate and the second rectangular plate on the same side are set at an obtuse angle.
[0016] In some embodiments, the support base has multiple strip-shaped grooves to reduce its weight.
[0017] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the support frame is provided with a support member for supporting the support frame.
[0018] In some embodiments, the support includes a plurality of support feet.
[0019] Through the above technical solution, the first rectangular plate in the rotating glass bracket provided by this disclosure carries stacked glass, and the support frame drives the placement plate to rotate, thereby causing the first rectangular plate to be lifted in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal. At the same time, the second rectangular plate supports one end of the glass stacked on the first rectangular plate, thereby realizing the flipping of the glass plate from a flat state to a standing state. Therefore, this disclosure eliminates the need to manually flip each glass plate from a flat state to a standing state, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving work efficiency.

[0032] Example
[0033] refer to Figure 1 It can be seen that the rotating glass bracket includes:
[0034] Support frame 1;
[0035] The shelf 2 is mounted on the support frame 1. The shelf 2 includes a first rectangular plate 201 and a second rectangular plate 202. The first side 205 of the first rectangular plate 201 and the second side 206 of the second rectangular plate 202 are angled to form a support surface 204. The support surface 204 is used to support stacked glass.
[0036] Among them, the support frame 1 can drive the shelf 2 to rotate in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
[0037] The glass is stacked on the first side 205 of the first rectangular plate 201. The support frame 1 drives the placement plate 2 to rotate in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the first rectangular plate 201 is raised and the second rectangular plate 202 is lowered, thereby realizing the flipping of the glass plate from a flat state to a standing state.
[0038] Understandably, when the glass is lifted to a standing position along with the first rectangular plate 201, the second rectangular plate 202 can support the glass from the bottom, preventing the glass from slipping off the second rectangular plate 202.
[0039] Therefore, this disclosure eliminates the need to manually flip each glass panel from a flat position to a standing position, thereby reducing the workload of workers and improving work efficiency.
[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 It can be seen that the support frame 1 is provided with a rotating component 3, which is used to restrict the shelf 2 to rotate about the horizontal axis relative to the support frame 1.
[0041] In some embodiments, the rotating component 3 may include limiting seats 301 disposed on opposite sides of the top surface of the support frame 1, the limiting seats 301 being used to limit the rotation direction of the support frame 1.
[0042] In some embodiments, rotating rods 203 are provided on both sides of the connection between the first rectangular plate 201 and the second rectangular plate 202, and the rotating rods 203 are rotatably disposed within the limiting seat 301.
[0043] The limiting seat 301 is provided with a through hole for the rotating rod 203 to be inserted, and the rotating rod 203 can rotate within the through hole.
[0044] Understandably, inserting the rotating rod into the through hole can effectively prevent the rotating rod 203 from disengaging from the limit seat 301, thereby enhancing the stability of the rotating glass bracket's operation.
[0045] In some embodiments, a drive motor may be provided in the limiting seat 301, which is used to drive the shelf 2 to rotate about a horizontal axis relative to the support frame 1.
[0046] The drive motor can be set on the side of the limit seat 301 facing the shelf 2 and located next to the rotating rod 203. The output end of the drive motor is geared to the rotating rod 203 to avoid slippage during the rotation of the rotating rod 203 by the drive motor.
[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a horizontally arranged support base 102.
[0048] The limiting seat 301 can be set at both ends of the center line of the support base 102 so that the force on the support base 102 is more even during the flipping process of the shelf 2.
[0049] Meanwhile, the shelf 2 is mounted on the support base 102, and the surfaces of the first rectangular plate 201 and the second rectangular plate 202 on the same side are set at an obtuse angle. It can be understood that when the second rectangular plate 202 is placed horizontally, the glass can be tilted between the first rectangular plate 201 and the second rectangular plate 202 to avoid the glass rotating at too large an angle, causing the glass to fall towards the second rectangular plate 202.
[0050] In addition, multiple strip-shaped through slots 103 are provided inside the support base 102 to reduce the weight of the support base 102, thereby reducing the overall weight of the entire rotating glass bracket and making it easier for operators to handle.
[0051] In this disclosure, a wooden crate for packing glass can be placed on the first rectangular plate 201, and a forklift stacks the glass inside the crate. After a certain number of glasses are stacked inside the crate, the drive motor is started to rotate the storage plate 2 until the second rectangular plate 20 approaches horizontal or the crate is in an upright position. Of course, the glass can also be directly stacked on the first rectangular plate 201.
[0052] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 1 may also include a frame 101 with both ends set at 90°, and a first rectangular plate 201 and a second rectangular plate 202 are fixedly connected to both ends of the frame 101.
[0053] In this design, both the first rectangular plate 201 and the second rectangular plate protrude from the two ends of the frame at a 90° angle, allowing them to be positioned at acute angles to the ends of the frame. When the frame 101 is parallel to the horizontal plane at the end closest to the second rectangular plate 202, the glass can be tilted relative to the frame 101 to improve its stability on the supporting surface.
[0054] It is understandable that by lifting one end of the frame 101 where the wooden box is placed, the frame 101 can be rotated in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, thereby causing the first rectangular plate 201 and the second rectangular plate 202 to rotate, so as to change the wooden box from a flat state to a standing state.
[0055] Meanwhile, the glass is placed at an angle on the first rectangular plate 201, and its bottom end is held in place by the second rectangular plate 202.
[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the support frame 1 is provided with a support member 4 for supporting the support frame 1.
[0057] In some embodiments, the support member 4 includes a plurality of support feet 401 connected to the bottom end surface of the support frame 1, thereby enabling the support frame 1 to be lifted up so that the forklift forks can be inserted from below the support frame 1 and contact the bottom end surface of the support frame 1, thereby facilitating the transfer of the rotating glass bracket.
[0058] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 It can be seen that the support component 4 also includes a support frame 402.
[0059] In this disclosure, four support feet 401 are provided on the bottom surface of the frame 101 near the second rectangular plate 202, and the frame 101 is provided on the bottom surface near the first rectangular plate 201.
[0060] Understandably, the frame 101 is first laid flat at one end near the first rectangular plate 201, and the wooden box or glass is placed on the first rectangular plate 201. At this time, the support frame 402 supports the bottom of the frame 101 so that the frame 101 has a certain space with the horizontal mask, so that the operator can put the tools or hands in and lift this end of the frame 101.
[0061] The shelf 2 may also be provided with multiple strip grooves 103 for weight reduction.
[0062] The embodiments of this disclosure have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this disclosure, 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.
[0063] While specific embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. 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 disclosure. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner.
