[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. 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.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a loading and transporting device, which includes: a frame 10, a tray transporting mechanism, a glass loading mechanism 30, a glass transporting mechanism 40, and a glass transfer mechanism 50. The tray transporting mechanism is mounted on the frame 10 and extends horizontally. It has a loading assembly 21, a transfer assembly 22, and a unloading assembly 23 arranged sequentially. The loading assembly 21 transfers trays from the loading trolley 24 to the transfer assembly 22. The transfer assembly 22 conveys trays containing glass to the unloading assembly 23, and the unloading assembly 23 feeds the trays containing glass into the unloading trolley 25. The glass loading mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and located upstream of the tray transporting mechanism, and is used to provide glass. The glass transporting mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 10 and located between the glass loading mechanism 30 and the tray transporting mechanism, and is used to transport glass toward the tray transporting mechanism. The glass transfer mechanism 50 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to transfer the position of the glass.

[0043] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, through the coordinated operation of the pallet transport mechanism, the glass loading mechanism 30, the glass transport mechanism 40, and the glass transfer mechanism 50, workers only need to place the glass and pallet onto the corresponding loading mechanism and wait for the loading and transport equipment to automatically place the glass onto the corresponding pallet. This greatly reduces the frequency and workload of manual operation, enabling the loading and transport equipment to efficiently and accurately complete the loading and transport of glass, thereby improving the automation level and production efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, the above-mentioned setup improves the operational precision of each process, avoiding glass breakage caused by errors or mistakes in manual operation, reducing the breakage rate of glass during transportation, and improving the product qualification rate. It also reduces the occurrence of personnel being cut by glass during operation, improving the safety of the entire loading process.

[0044] The loading and transport equipment also includes a control system, which is electrically connected to the pallet transport mechanism, the glass feeding mechanism 30, the glass transport mechanism 40 and the glass transfer mechanism 50 to realize the automated operation of different processes of the equipment.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the glass loading mechanism 30 includes a loading rack 31, a first lifting assembly 32, and an adjusting assembly. The loading rack 31 is mounted on the frame 10 and extends vertically. The loading rack 31 has a placement cavity where glass is stacked vertically. The top of the loading rack 31 has a first preset position. The first lifting assembly 32 has a first fixed section 321 and a first moving section 322 arranged vertically opposite each other. The first moving section 322 passes through the frame 10, and its end abuts against the glass. The first moving section 322 can move vertically relative to the first fixed section 321 to drive the glass to rise and fall within the placement cavity. The adjusting assembly is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to adjust the relative position of the glass to the loading rack 31 in the horizontal direction. The first lifting assembly 32 also includes a first motor 323, which is drivenly connected to the first moving section 322. By cooperating with the first lifting component 32 and the adjusting component, tilting and breakage of the glass during the stacking and lifting process are effectively avoided. Precise control of the glass can be achieved, ensuring the stability of the glass during the feeding process and improving the versatility and adaptability of the glass feeding mechanism 30.

[0046] Specifically, the glass loading mechanism 30 further includes a first sensor and a nozzle 33. The first sensor is located on top of the carrier rack 31 and is used to detect whether the glass has reached a first preset position. The nozzle 33 is located on top of the adjustment assembly, with one end connected to an air source and the other end facing the glass to spray air onto the glass at the first preset position. The arrangement of the first sensor and nozzle 33 not only allows for real-time monitoring of the glass position, ensuring accurate arrival at the first preset position, but also enables the nozzle 33 to blow air onto the glass at the first preset position, separating adjacent glass panes under the action of the airflow, facilitating the transfer of individual glass panes by the glass transfer mechanism 50. The first sensor is a sensing optical fiber.

[0047] The adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame 34, a movable plate 35, and an adjustment rod 36. The fixed frame 34 is mounted on the frame 10 and extends vertically. The movable plate 35 is movably mounted on the side of the fixed frame 34 near the glass, abutting against the edge of the glass. The movable plate 35 is parallel to the fixed frame 34, and a nozzle 33 passes through the top of the movable plate 35. One end of the adjustment rod 36 is connected to the movable plate 35, and the other end is movably mounted horizontally through the fixed frame 34. The adjustment rod 36 can drive the movable plate 35 closer to or further away from the fixed frame 34 to adjust the relative position of the glass to the loading rack 31 in the horizontal direction. This configuration allows for precise adjustment of the glass position on the loading rack 31, ensuring that the glass transfer mechanism 50 can accurately and quickly remove the glass located at the first preset position. Furthermore, this design allows the glass loading mechanism 30 to be quickly adjusted according to different glass sizes, improving the flexibility of adjustment and enhancing the adaptability of the adjustment assembly.

[0048] Specifically, the adjustment components are in multiple sets, and these multiple sets of adjustment components are spaced around the material carrier 31, so that the glass can be adjusted in different directions, thereby improving the adjustment effect.

[0049] Furthermore, the glass feeding mechanism 30 has multiple sets, and the loading and transport equipment also includes: guide rails 37 and multiple first driving components 38. The guide rails 37 are mounted on the frame 10 and extend horizontally. The multiple sets of glass feeding mechanisms 30 are movably mounted on the guide rails 37. The first driving components 38 are drivenly connected to the glass feeding mechanisms 30, and can drive the glass feeding mechanisms 30 to move along the guide rails 37. Each of the multiple first driving components 38 corresponds to one of the multiple glass feeding mechanisms 30. By setting multiple sets of glass feeding mechanisms 30 and guide rails 37, when the first set of glass feeding mechanisms 30 is empty, the first driving components 38 can drive the next fully loaded set of glass feeding mechanisms 30 to move along the guide rails 37 to the feeding position. This reduces waiting time, achieves uninterrupted feeding, greatly improves the feeding speed and efficiency of the equipment, and increases the overall operating speed of the equipment.

[0050] The guide rail 37 is also provided with a limiting buffer 39 at its end. The limiting buffer 39 can buffer the movement of the glass feeding mechanism 30 to avoid damage to the glass caused by the glass feeding mechanism 30 moving too fast.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the glass transport mechanism 40 includes a first conveyor belt 41, a second sensor 42, and a positioning component. Mounted on the frame 10, the first conveyor belt 41 extends horizontally. The glass transfer mechanism 50 can transfer glass located at a first preset position onto the first conveyor belt 41. The end of the first conveyor belt 41 near the tray transport mechanism has a second preset position, and the first conveyor belt 41 is used to transport the glass to the second preset position. The second sensor 42 is located at the end of the conveyor belt near the tray transport mechanism and is used to detect whether the glass has reached the second preset position. The positioning component is located at the end of the first conveyor belt 41 near the tray transport mechanism and is used to position the glass located at the second preset position. The glass transport mechanism 40 also includes a second motor 411, which is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to drive the first conveyor belt 41 to rotate. With the cooperation of the second sensor 42 and the positioning component, the second sensor 42 can sense the glass, and the first conveyor belt 41 can position the glass to prevent it from falling off the first conveyor belt 41, thus reducing damage to the glass during transportation.

[0052] The second sensor 42 is a sensing optical fiber.

[0053] Further, the positioning assembly includes: a positioning bracket 43, positioning baffles 44, a second driving member 45, and a transmission assembly. The positioning bracket 43 is mounted on the frame 10 and located between the first conveyor belt 41 and the tray transport mechanism, with its extension direction being the same as that of the tray transport mechanism. The positioning baffles 44 are movably mounted on the positioning bracket 43 along its extension direction, with two baffles 44 located at both ends of the glass and capable of abutting against the glass for positioning. The second driving member 45 is mounted on the positioning bracket 43 and is drivenly connected to the positioning baffles 44 to change the distance between them. The transmission assembly is located between the second driving member 45 and the positioning baffles 44, with one end drivenly connected to the second driving member 45 and the other end drivenly connected to the two positioning baffles 44, enabling the transmission assembly to drive the two baffles closer together or further apart. This not only allows the glass to be positioned by the two positioning baffles 44, but also allows the second driving component 45 to drive the distance between the two positioning baffles 44 according to the size of the glass, so as to be suitable for glass of different sizes, improve the adaptability of the equipment, and reduce the damage to the glass during transportation.

[0054] Specifically, the positioning component also includes a guide rod 47, which extends in the same direction as the positioning bracket 43. The bottom of the positioning baffle 44 passes through the guide rod 47, and the guide rod 47 can guide the movement of the positioning baffle 44 to ensure the accuracy of positioning.

[0055] The positioning bracket 43 is also equipped with a limit sensor 431, which is used to limit the movement of the positioning baffle 44 to prevent the positioning baffle 44 from squeezing and damaging the glass.

[0056] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a second conveyor belt 46, a first moving block 461, and a second moving block 462. The second conveyor belt 46 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 and has an upper and a lower layer arranged opposite each other. The first moving block 461 is located on the upper layer and is connected to one of the positioning baffles 44. The second moving block 462 is located on the lower layer and is connected to the other positioning baffle 44. By utilizing the rotation of the second conveyor belt 46, the first and second moving blocks 461 and 462 can move the two positioning baffles 44 closer together or further apart, eliminating the need for multiple driving components and reducing system complexity. Simultaneously, the structure is simple and easy to operate, enabling precise movement of the positioning baffles 44, improving the positioning effect on the glass, and further enhancing the automation level of the equipment.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the loading assembly 21 includes: a second lifting assembly 211, a first picking platform, a suction cup assembly 212, and a third conveyor belt 213. The second lifting assembly 211 is positioned between the transfer assembly 22 and the loading trolley 24. The second lifting assembly 211 extends vertically and allows for real-time adjustment of the height of the first picking platform to facilitate the picking and transferring of trays. The first picking platform is movably mounted vertically on the second lifting assembly 211. The suction cup assembly 212 is horizontally extendable via a first cylinder 215 at the end of the first picking platform furthest from the transfer assembly 22. The suction cup assembly 212 faces the loading trolley 24 and includes a suction cup 2121 and a negative pressure gauge 2122. The suction cup 2121 is used to adsorb trays on the loading trolley 24, and the negative pressure gauge 2122 is used to detect the adsorption effect of the suction cup 2121. The third conveyor belt 213 is installed on the first material handling platform. The third conveyor belt 213 is used to transport the pallet to the transfer assembly 22, and its extension direction is the same as that of the pallet transport mechanism. The second lifting assembly 211 is a linear module. This configuration enables the loading assembly 21 to efficiently and stably load the pallet.

[0058] Furthermore, the loading assembly 21 also includes a first sensor 216 and a blocking cylinder 214. The first sensor 216 is mounted on the suction cup assembly 212 and is used to sense the position of the tray, allowing the loading assembly 21 to quickly pass over areas on the loading trolley 24 without trays, thus increasing the loading speed. The blocking cylinder 214 extends vertically and is used to limit the position of the tray on the third conveyor belt 213 to prevent it from falling off the first picking platform. The first sensor 216 and the blocking cylinder 214 ensure the precise position of the tray during loading, preventing offset during transport, improving the stability and reliability of the loading assembly 21 in transferring trays, and increasing the transfer efficiency.

[0059] Specifically, the feeding assembly 21 also includes a fifth sensor 217, which is located near the blocking cylinder 214 to detect whether the tray is in place.

[0060] When the feeding component 21 is working, the second lifting component 211 is first raised and lowered. The first sensor 216 senses the position of the pallet on the feeding trolley 24. After it is in position, the first cylinder 215 drives the suction cup component 212 to extend onto the feeding trolley 24 to adsorb the pallet. Then, the first cylinder 215 drives the suction cup component 212 back to its initial position, so that the pallet is located on the third conveyor belt 213 of the first picking platform. The blocking cylinder 214 limits the position of the pallet. Then, the second lifting component 211 adjusts its height to connect with the transfer component 22, drives the blocking cylinder 214 to retract, and starts the third conveyor belt 213 to transfer the pallet to the transfer component 22.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, the transfer assembly 22 includes a transport channel, multiple third lifting components, and a third sensor 222. One end of the transport channel is connected to the third conveyor belt 213. The transport channel is used to transport pallets, and its extension direction is the same as that of the pallet transport mechanism. Along the extension direction of the pallet transport mechanism, the transport channel has multiple spaced-apart third preset positions and multiple spaced-apart fourth preset positions, with the fourth preset positions located above the third preset positions. Multiple third lifting components are spaced-apart on the frame 10 and located within the transport channel. The third lifting components are used to lift and lower the pallets, allowing them to switch between the third and fourth preset positions. The third sensor 222 is mounted on the third lifting components and is used to detect whether the pallet has reached the third preset position. This configuration enables the transfer assembly 22 to achieve double-layer stacking and efficient transport of pallets, improving the space utilization efficiency of the equipment and the overall space utilization and production efficiency of the production line.

[0062] In this embodiment, the transport channel has two sequentially arranged third preset positions and two fourth preset positions. There are also two sets of glass transport mechanism 40 and two sets of glass transfer mechanism 50. The two sets of glass transport mechanism 40 and glass transfer mechanism 50 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two third preset positions.

[0063] The third lifting component is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the third lifting component is provided with a support plate 221 at the end. The third lifting component lifts and lowers the carrier plate by means of the support plate 221.

[0064] Specifically, the transfer assembly 22 also includes a limiting cylinder 227, which is located at the end of the third lifting assembly. The limiting cylinder 227 can move up and down in the vertical direction to limit the position of the pallet in the transport channel.

[0065] Furthermore, the transfer assembly 22 also includes: a fourth conveyor belt 223, a fifth conveyor belt 224, multiple pallets 225, and multiple third drive units 226. The fourth conveyor belt 223 and the fifth conveyor belt 224 form a transport channel, and are arranged parallel to each other. The extension direction of the fourth conveyor belt 223 is the same as the extension direction of the pallet transport mechanism. Third preset positions are set on the fourth conveyor belt 223 and the fifth conveyor belt 224. Pallets 225 are movably disposed above the fourth conveyor belt 223 and the fifth conveyor belt 224, and multiple pallets 225 are movably disposed on both sides of the transport channel to support or unload the pallets. Multiple third drive units 226 are driven by multiple pallets 225 to move the pallets 225 closer to or further away from the transport channel. Each third drive unit 226 corresponds to one pallet 225. The third drive units 226 extend horizontally, with their extension direction forming an angle with the extension direction of the transport channel. The cooperation between the multiple pallets 225 and the third drive units 226 enables rapid stacking and unloading of pallets, improving the transport efficiency of the transfer assembly 22. Through this design, the transfer assembly can simultaneously transport multiple pallets and load glass onto multiple pallets. This increases the number of glass sheets loaded in a single operation, enables batch processing of pallets, reduces equipment idle time, and improves equipment utilization.

[0066] When the transfer component 22 is working, when the third sensor 222 senses the carrier tray, the limit cylinder 227 blocks the carrier tray. At this time, the carrier tray is located on the support plate 221 and is in the third preset position. Then, the third lifting component is controlled to raise the support plate 221, and the third drive component 226 is controlled to drive the tray 225 to approach the conveyor belt and lift the carrier tray. At this time, the carrier tray is in the fourth preset position, which makes it convenient for the glass transfer mechanism 50 to place the glass on the carrier tray. Then, the third lifting component is controlled to drive the support plate 221 to descend.

[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, the unloading assembly 23 includes: a fourth lifting assembly 231, a second picking platform, a sixth conveyor belt 232, a connecting plate 233, a fourth drive component 234, and a fifth drive component 235. The fourth lifting assembly 231 is positioned between the transfer assembly 22 and the unloading trolley 25, extending along a vertical line. The second picking platform is movably mounted on the fourth lifting assembly 231 in a vertical direction. The sixth conveyor belt 232 is mounted on the second picking platform and is used to transport the pallet to the unloading trolley 25. The extension direction of the sixth conveyor belt 232 is the same as the extension direction of the pallet transport mechanism. This allows the unloading assembly 23 to precisely control the unloading position of the pallet, ensuring the stability of the pallet during the unloading process and reducing damage to the pallet during transportation. A connecting plate 233 is horizontally mounted on the fourth lifting assembly 231 and located above the second material handling platform. The extension direction of the connecting plate 233 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the sixth conveyor belt 232. A fourth driving member 234 is located at the end of the connecting plate 233, and its telescopic end can extend and retract relative to the connecting plate 233 along the extension direction of the pallet transport mechanism. A fifth driving member 235 is vertically mounted at the telescopic end of the fourth driving member 234, and its telescopic end can extend and retract vertically relative to the telescopic end of the fourth driving member 234. The telescopic end of the fifth driving member 235 can abut against the pallet. Through the cooperation of the connecting plate 233, the fourth driving member 234, and the fifth driving member 235, it can be ensured that the pallet completely enters the unloading trolley 25.

[0068] Specifically, the unloading assembly 23 also includes a sixth sensor 236, a seventh sensor 237, and an anti-drop cylinder 238. The anti-drop cylinder 238 is located at the end of the second picking platform away from the transfer assembly 22 to prevent the tray from slipping off the second picking platform. The sixth sensor 236 is located at the telescopic end of the fifth drive member 235 to sense the position of the tray. The seventh sensor 237 is located near the anti-drop cylinder 238 to detect whether there is a tray on the sixth conveyor belt 232.

[0069] Furthermore, the glass transfer mechanism 50 includes a first robotic arm 51 and a second robotic arm 52. The first robotic arm 51 is used to transfer glass located at a first preset position onto a first conveyor belt 41, and the second robotic arm 52 is used to transfer glass located at a second preset position onto a carrier plate located at a fourth preset position. The design of the glass transfer mechanism 50, through the coordinated work of the first robotic arm 51 and the second robotic arm 52, achieves efficient and precise glass transfer. This not only improves production efficiency but also, by optimizing the motion trajectory and speed control of the robotic arms, further enhances the accuracy and efficiency of glass transfer, reduces waiting time during production, and increases the overall operating speed of the production line.
