Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass processing and transportation, and specifically relates to a conveying and buffering device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of automotive sunroof glass, the process from applying the primer to the next step typically requires a certain waiting time (usually 30 minutes) to ensure the primer's effectiveness. However, current technology relies primarily on manual handling for glass transportation. Specifically, workers lift the primer-coated glass to a designated location (a temporary glass storage rotating bracket) for a short period before moving it to the processing position for further processing. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also difficult to control in terms of buffer time and poses significant safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0006] The support rod is vertically mounted on the transmission chain, and a support block is provided on the support rod near the downstream side;

[0007] The drive mechanism is used to drive the transmission wheel to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, the support block is provided with a through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the support rod has a support head at the end away from the transmission chain.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission chain is provided with multiple support rods at even intervals.

[0011] Preferably, the system also includes a feeding support frame, which is located upstream of the transmission chain and is arranged at intervals.

[0015] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a top wheel.

[0016] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a support plate, which is located inside the transmission chain.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This utility model provides a conveying and buffering device in which the pre-coated glass rests on a support block and leans against a support rod to support it. A drive mechanism drives a transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn drives a transmission chain to move the support rod, thus moving the glass. By controlling the movement speed of the support rod, temporary storage and stable transportation of the glass can be achieved, meeting the process requirements for the curing time after the glass pre-coating. This eliminates the need for temporary storage and transfer supports, and eliminates the need for manual handling of the glass, saving significant manpower. Attached Figure Description

[0039] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0040] This embodiment provides a conveying and buffering device, including a bracket 1, a transmission chain 3, a support rod 4, a drive mechanism 10, and at least two sets of transmission wheels 2.

[0041] The drive wheel 2 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 1, and the drive wheel 2 is connected by the drive chain 3.

[0042] For example, see Figure 1 The bracket 1 has four rotatable drive wheels 2. Two drive wheels 2 are on one side, and two drive wheels 2 on the same side are connected by a drive chain 3. The two drive chains 3 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. A connecting plate 13 is provided between the two drive chains 3, and the connecting plate 13 is arranged horizontally. The two ends of the connecting plate 13 are fixed to the two drive chains 3 respectively. When the drive chain 3 is in motion, the connecting plate 13 moves synchronously.

[0043] The support rod 4 is vertically mounted on the transmission chain 3, and a support block 5 is provided on the support rod 4 near the downstream side.

[0044] For example, see Figure 1-2The connecting plate 13 is equipped with two support rods 4, which are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission chains 3 on both sides of the connecting plate 13. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 13 is equipped with two support blocks 5, each corresponding to one of the support rods 4. The support blocks 5 are located downstream of their respective support rods 4; that is, when a support rod 4 moves from right to left, the support block 5 is located to the left of the support rod 4. The support blocks 5 can support the bottom of the glass, while the upper part of the glass rests against the support rods 4, thus stably supporting the glass. A single piece of glass can rest simultaneously on both support blocks 5 of a connecting plate 13 and against both support rods 4.

[0045] The drive mechanism 10 is used to drive the transmission wheel 2 to rotate.

[0046] For example, see Figure 1 The drive mechanism 10 can be a motor, and the motor's power output end is fixed coaxially with the transmission wheel 2. The motor can drive the transmission wheel 2 to rotate.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the conveying and buffering device provided in this embodiment places the pre-coated glass on the support block 5 and rests against the support rod 4. The drive mechanism 10 drives the transmission wheel 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain 3, causing the support rod 4 to move, thus realizing the movement of the glass. By controlling the moving speed of the support rod 4, temporary storage and transportation of the glass can be achieved, eliminating the need for manual handling and saving significant manpower. For example, controlling the time for the support rod 4 to move from the right end to the left end of the transmission chain 3 to approximately 30 minutes allows the glass to remain on the conveyor line for 30 minutes, perfectly matching the waiting time for the next process. Simultaneously, stable glass transportation is achieved. This meets the process requirements for the curing time after the glass pre-coating, eliminating the need for temporary storage and transfer supports and manual handling, further saving considerable manpower.

[0048] Based on the above technical solution, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the support block 5 is provided with a through groove 6.

[0049] For example, see Figure 2-3 A through groove 6 is provided on the support block 5. The cross-section of the through groove 6 can be trapezoidal, with the side length of the open side being greater than the side length of the other side. The bottom of the glass can be embedded in the through groove 6 to prevent the bottom of the glass from sliding left and right on the support block 5, thereby improving the stability of the glass during movement.

[0050] See Figure 3The support block 5 can be fixed to the connecting plate 13 with bolts, and the support rod 4 can also be fixed to the connecting plate 13 with bolts. In order to improve the integrity of the support block 5 and the support rod 4, the end of the support rod 4 near the connecting plate 13 has a stepped shaft structure. The support block 5 is provided with a stepped hole that matches the support rod 4, and the connecting plate 13 is provided with a screw hole. The stepped hole and the screw hole are coaxial. The end of the support rod 4 passes through the stepped hole of the support block 5 and is screwed into the screw hole of the connecting plate 13, thereby improving the integrity of the support block 5 and the support rod 4.

[0051] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the support rod 4 is provided with a support head 7 at the end away from the transmission chain 3.

[0052] For example, see Figure 1-3 The support rod 4 has a support head 7 at the end furthest from the connecting plate 13. The support head 7 is a soft structure, such as a polyurethane support head. When the glass rests against the support head 7, the support head 7 can act as a buffer and increase friction, thereby improving the stability of the glass.

[0053] Multiple support rods 4 are evenly spaced on the transmission chain 3.

[0054] For example, see Figure 1-2 Multiple connecting plates 13 are provided between the two transmission chains 3, and the multiple connecting plates 13 are evenly spaced along the transmission direction of the transmission chains 3. Each side of the connecting plate 13 is provided with a support rod 4, and multiple support rods 4 on the same side are evenly spaced along the transmission direction of the transmission chains 3, so that multiple glass can be transported at the same time.

[0055] The technical solution provided in this embodiment also includes a feeding support frame 8, which is located upstream of the transmission chain 3 and is arranged at intervals.

[0056] For example, see Figure 1-2 The right end of the transmission chain 3 serves as the upstream, and the left end as the downstream. Two feeding support frames 8 are provided at the right end of the transmission chain 3. These feeding support frames 8 have an H-shaped structure and are spaced apart. The feeding support frames 8 are used to hold the glass, and the area between the two feeding support frames 8 is used for the passage of the support rod 4.

[0057] See Figure 4 Workers can place the glass horizontally on the two feeding support frames 8. When the transmission chain 3 is driven, the support rod 4 located on the lower side of the glass swings upward, lifting the glass and causing it to flip upward with the support rod 4. Due to gravity, the bottom of the glass will slide down the support rod 4 onto the support block 5 and enter the through groove 6, thus stabilizing the glass. When the support rod 4 supporting the glass swings to a vertical position, due to inertia, the top of the glass may flip forward, causing the glass to lean against the support rod 4 on the lower side. At this time, the glass will be in a state of tilting to the left.

[0058] It is worth noting that the top of the loading support frame 8 is at a higher level than the axis of the transmission wheel 2 to prevent the glass from sliding outwards and causing failure when the support rod 4 supports the glass. To improve the applicability of the loading support frame 8, a lifting mechanism can be provided below the loading support frame 8, that is, the loading support frame 8 is set on the lifting end of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism allows for adjustment of the top level of the loading support frame 8, making the lifting of the glass by the support rod 4 smoother and more stable.

[0059] The top of the feeding support frame 8 is equipped with a support head. The support head can be a polyurethane support head, which can act as a buffer and increase friction, thereby improving the stability of the glass.

[0060] The technical solution provided in this embodiment also includes a feeding support frame 9, which is located downstream of the transmission chain 3 and is arranged at intervals.

[0061] For example, see Figure 1-2 The right end of the transmission chain 3 is the upstream, and the left end is the downstream. Two unloading support frames 9 are provided at the left end of the transmission chain 3. The unloading support frames 9 have an H-shaped structure and are arranged at intervals. The unloading support frames 9 are used to hold the glass, and the area between the two unloading support frames 9 is used for the passage of the support rod 4.

[0062] See Figure 4 The bottom of the glass rests on the support block 5, while the top of the glass rests on the support rod 4 on the downstream side. When the support rod 4 on the downstream side swings downward, the glass will swing downward synchronously until the support rod 4 swings between the material feeding support frame 9. The glass will then rest on the material feeding support frame 9, and the worker can then remove the glass.

[0063] The top of the material feeding support frame 9 is equipped with a support head. The support head can be a polyurethane support head, which can act as a buffer and increase friction, thereby improving the stability of the glass.

[0064] When the bottom of the glass rests in the through groove 6 of the support block 5 and the top of the glass rests on the support rod 4 on the downstream side, if the support rod 4 on the downstream side swings downward, the glass will swing downward synchronously. At this time, due to the limiting effect of the through groove 6, the bottom of the glass may be squeezed and bent. To avoid the above situation, the bracket 1 is provided with a top wheel 12.

[0065] For example, see Figure 1 , 4The bracket 1 has two rotating top wheels 12, located at the left end of the transmission chain 3, and parallel to the axis of the transmission wheel 2. The transmission chain 3 and the support rod 4 are both located between the two top wheels 12. The width of the glass is wider than the distance between the two transmission chains 3, and also wider than the distance between the two top wheels 12.

[0066] As the glass moves to the left, before the downstream support rod 4 swings downward, the bottom of the glass will first contact the top roller 12. As the glass continues to move to the left, the bottom of the glass will lift upward along the top roller 12 and disengage from the original through groove 6, but the upper part of the glass will still rest against the downstream support rod 4. If the downstream support rod 4 swings downward at this time, the glass will flip synchronously, but the bottom of the glass will not be squeezed and bent by the through groove 6, ensuring stable transportation of the glass.

[0067] The top roller 12 may include a circular plate 120 and an annular pad 121. The circular plate 120 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 1, and the annular pad 121 is coaxially fitted onto the outside of the circular plate 120 by bolts. When the diameter of the top roller 12 is too large, the diameter of the top roller 12 can be reduced by removing the annular pad 121. When the diameter of the top roller 12 is too small, the diameter of the top roller 12 can be increased by adding or replacing annular pads 121 of different sizes. Using a top roller 12 of appropriate size can ensure smoother upward lifting of the bottom of the glass along the top roller 12.

[0068] For example, see Figure 6 The circular plate 120 has a locking screw hole on its side wall, and the annular washer 121 has a through hole on its side wall. The annular washer 121 also has a clearance hole on its outer side wall to accommodate the end cap of the locking screw 122. Thus, by screwing the end of the locking screw 122 through the through hole of the annular washer 121 and into the locking screw hole of the circular plate 120, the annular washer 121 and the circular plate 120 can be locked and fixed. Disassembly and installation are very convenient.

[0069] Locking screw holes may be provided on the outer wall of the annular pad 121 to facilitate further enlarging the diameter of the top wheel 12.

[0070] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with a support plate 11, which is located inside the transmission chain 3.

[0071] For example, see Figure 5 The bracket 1 is provided with a horizontally arranged support plate 11, and the support plate 11 is located inside the transmission chain 3. When the transmission chain 3 is in motion, the upper surface of the support plate 11 slides and contacts the inner top surface of the transmission chain 3. The support plate 11 can play a supporting role, preventing the glass from being too heavy and causing the transmission chain 3 to sag, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.
