Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a glass transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass processing is typically a multi-stage process, with each stage requiring different equipment or environments. For example, glass may first undergo cutting, edging, cleaning, and heat treatment. Between each stage, the glass needs to be precisely transferred to different machines or worktables to ensure smooth processing.

[0003] In existing technologies, glass is usually transferred between various processes using large-scale mechanical equipment. However, while large-scale mechanical equipment is suitable for efficient, large-scale production, it requires significant investment and incurs high costs for small-batch production or special needs, and it also suffers from limited flexibility. Utility Model Content

[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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a glass transfer device, including a moving mechanism 1, a suction cup assembly 2, a rocker assembly 3, a support rod 4, a guide wheel 5, and a pull rope 6. The support rod 4 is mounted on the moving mechanism 1. The suction cup assembly 2 is slidably connected to the rod body of the support rod 4. The rocker assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the rod body of the support rod 4. The guide wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the end of the support rod 4. One end of the pull rope 6 is connected to the suction cup assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the rocker assembly 3. The rope body of the pull rope 6 is wound around the guide wheel 5. The suction cup assembly 2 is used to adsorb glass. The rocker assembly 3 is used to wind the pull rope 6 to drive the suction cup assembly 2 to slide on the rod body. The moving mechanism 1 is used to transfer the glass adsorbed by the suction cup assembly 2.

[0024] In this application, the moving mechanism 1 is a frame with wheels, and its specific structural settings can be adapted to the application scenario.

[0025] Specifically, the rocker assembly 3 includes a handle 31, a housing 32, a gear structure 33, and a ratchet structure 34. The housing 32 is fixedly connected to the rod body of the support rod 4. The gear structure 33 and the ratchet structure 34 are both rotatably connected inside the housing 32. The gear structure 33 and the ratchet structure 34 are connected by a rotating shaft 35. The pull rope 6 is wound around the rotating shaft 35. The handle 31 is rotatably connected to the housing 32 and extends into the housing 32 to be driven by the gear structure 33. The handle 31 is used to drive the gear structure 33 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 35 to wind the pull rope 6. The ratchet structure 34 is used to restrict the unidirectional transmission of the gear structure 33 during the winding of the pull rope 6. When the operator moves the moving mechanism 1 to the position where the glass is placed, the crank handle 31 drives the gear structure 33 to rotate, thereby stretching the coiled suction cup assembly 2 and pulling it to a position where the glass can be adsorbed. At this time, since the ratchet structure 34 only allows the gear structure to move in one direction, even when the handle 31 is released, the ratchet structure 34 can still fix the suction cup assembly 2 in the preset position. When the suction cup assembly 2 adsorbs the glass, the moving mechanism 1 is moved to transport the glass to the target position and then released, completing the transfer of the glass between each process step.

[0026] In one feasible embodiment, the ratchet structure 34 includes a ratchet disc 341, a pawl 342, a spring 343, a first hanging post 344, a second hanging post 345, and a screwing member 346. The ratchet disc 341 is rotatably connected to the housing 32. The first hanging post 344 is fixedly connected to the housing 32. The second hanging post 345 is fixedly connected to the pawl 342. One end of the spring 343 is hung on the first hanging post 344, and the other end is hung on the second hanging post 345. The screwing member 346 extends into the housing 32 and connects to one end of the pawl 342. The other end of the pawl 342 abuts against the ratchet disc 341. The pawl 342 abuts against the ratchet disc 341 to limit the unidirectional transmission of the gear structure 33 during the winding of the pull rope 6. The screwing member 346 is rotated to drive the pawl 342 to separate from the ratchet disc 341. In this embodiment, the ratchet disc 341 is a disc or wheel with multiple helical teeth or ratchet teeth. Each tooth of the gear is designed so that the pawl 342 engages in one direction but not in the opposite direction. The pawl 342 is a component that cooperates with the ratchet disc 341 and is typically pulled by a spring 343 to ensure that the pawl 342 can bite the teeth of the ratchet. When the ratchet rotates in one direction, the pawl 342 bites the teeth and pushes the ratchet to rotate; when the direction of rotation changes, the pawl 342 skips over the teeth of the gear, preventing reverse rotation. The spring 343 is used to keep the pawl 342 in contact with the teeth of the ratchet disc 341, providing sufficient pressure to ensure that the pawl 342 can effectively grip the ratchet teeth. The housing 32 provides protection and ensures that the relative position of the ratchet and the pawl 342 remains unchanged. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the handle 31 is cranked, the pawl 342 engages with the ratchet gear, causing the ratchet to rotate in one direction. In the opposite direction, since the pawl 342 skips the gear teeth, it does not transmit reverse power. When it is necessary to release the ratchet disc 341, turning the screw 346 separates the pawl 342 from the ratchet disc 341. Under the gravity of the suction cup assembly 2, the ratchet disc 341 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. After the suction cup assembly 2 slides to the target position, the screw 346 is released, and under the elastic force of the spring 343, the pawl 342 re-engages with the ratchet disc 341.

[0027] In one feasible embodiment, the gear structure 33 includes a driving gear 331 and a driven gear 332. The driving gear 331 is rotatably connected within the housing 32 and is pulsatorically connected to the handle 31. The driven gear 332 is connected to the ratchet mechanism via the rotating shaft 35. The driving gear 331 and the driven gear 332 mesh, and the diameter of the driving gear 331 is smaller than the diameter of the driven gear 332. Due to the large mass of the glass, the force applied to the handle 31 can be reduced by adjusting the transmission ratio between the driving gear 331 and the driven gear 332.

[0028] In one feasible embodiment, the suction cup assembly 2 includes a vacuum suction cup 21, a crossbar 22, and a pulley structure 23. Several vacuum suction cups 21 are provided, arranged along the length of the crossbar 22. The pulley structure 23 is connected to the crossbar 22 and slidably connected to the support rod 4. One end of the pull rope 6 is connected to the crossbar 22. The spacing between the multiple vacuum suction cups 21 can be adjusted according to the size of the glass, thereby improving the stability when adsorbing glass. The pulley structure 23 includes a roller 231 and a sliding sleeve 232. The sliding sleeve 232 is fitted onto the support rod 4 and connected to the crossbar 22. The roller 231 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 232, and the outer circumferential surface of the roller 231 abuts against the rod body.

[0029] In one feasible embodiment, the sliding sleeve 232 is provided with a first hinge ear 233, and the crossbar 22 is provided with a second hinge ear 234. The first hinge ear 233 and the second hinge ear 234 are rotatably connected, and a limiting member 235 is provided between the first hinge ear 233 and the second hinge ear 234. The limiting member 235 is used to limit the rotation angle between the first hinge ear 233 and the second hinge ear 234. Since the glass is placed at different angles, the sliding sleeve 232 and the crossbar 22 can rotate to adjust the vacuum suction cup 21 to a position parallel to the surface of the glass, which can better adsorb the glass.

[0030] In one feasible embodiment, the limiting member 235 is disposed on the first hinge ear 233, and the second hinge ear 234 has a limiting notch 236 corresponding to the limiting member 235. The limiting member 235 is used to abut against both ends of the limiting notch 236 to limit the rotation angle between the first hinge ear 233 and the second hinge ear 234. Specifically, both the limiting notch 236 and the limiting member 235 are arc-shaped structures, and the size of the limiting notch 236 is larger than the size of the limiting member 235.

[0031] In one feasible embodiment, the vacuum suction cup 21 is provided with a sleeve 24, which is slidably fitted onto the crossbar 22. The sleeve 24 is fixed to the crossbar 22 by fasteners 25. Specifically, the sleeve 24 has a first through hole 26, and the crossbar 22 has a plurality of second through holes 27 along its length. The fasteners 25 are insertion rods, which are inserted into the first through holes 26 and the second through holes 27 to fix the sleeve 24 and the crossbar 22. In this embodiment, the main function of the insertion rods is to restrict the movement of the sleeve 24 relative to the crossbar 22 in its length direction.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included within this application.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
