[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.) as the main raw materials, with the addition of a small amount of auxiliary raw materials.

[0003] With the advancement of technology and the increasing demands of people's lives, the requirements for glass are becoming more and more complex.

However, this manual bonding and clamping method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged diagram of point A in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides an automated production line for vacuum glass lamination and clamping, characterized in that it includes:

[0032] The glass assembly table 1 is used to place the incoming white glass sheet, and a transmission roller group 10 is also movably mounted on it to convey the assembled glass sheet to the clamping table 4.

[0033] A flipping table 2 is located on one side of the laminating table 1 and is used to place the coated glass that is conveyed in. It is also equipped with a flipping mechanism 20 that can lift one side of the coated glass.

[0034] A handling robot 3 is located between the laminating table 1 and the flipping table 2, and is used to grab and transport the coated glass on the flipping table 2 to cover the white glass substrate on the laminating table 1.

[0035] The clamping table 4 is located on the side of the glass assembly table 1 located in the conveying direction of the first transmission roller group 10, and is used to place glass assemblies;

[0036] The clamping mechanism 5 is located around the clamping table 4 and is used to clamp the glass pieces on the clamping table 4.

[0037] During production, the clear glass sheet is directly conveyed to the lamination table 1, and the coated glass is conveyed to the flipping table 2 with the coated side facing up. Then, the flipping mechanism 20 lifts one side of the coated glass, and then the transport robot 3 picks up the uncoated side of the coated glass, flips and transports the coated glass, and folds the coated side of the coated glass onto the clear glass sheet, thus automatically completing the glass lamination operation. Then, the transmission roller group 10 conveys the glass lamination to the clamping table 4, and the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the glass lamination around its perimeter, thus automatically completing the glass lamination clamping operation. It is practical and convenient, requiring no manual lamination and clamping, and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the laminating stage 1 is also provided with a positioning structure 6 that can position the white glass film.

[0039] Specifically, the positioning structure 6 includes a positioning seat 61 arranged on the side of the laminating table 1 near the flipping table 2, and a positioning wheel 62 correspondingly disposed on the positioning seat 61. During lamination, the white glass film conveyed into the laminating table 1 moves and abuts against the positioning wheel 62, thus being conveyed into position.

[0040] In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the laminating stage 1 are common existing technologies in the field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 20 includes a flipping motor 201 located at the lower end of the flipping table 2, a push rod assembly 202 located at the output end of the flipping motor 201, and a limiting assembly 203 located at the end of the flipping table 2 away from the handling robot 3.

[0042] When the glass is assembled, the flipping motor 201 starts, driving the top rod assembly 202 to move upward, lifting the side of the coated glass close to the handling robot 3 by 60°, and the other end of the coated glass abuts against the limiting assembly 203, so that the handling robot 3 can extend into the lower end of the coated glass and perform adsorption and gripping, which is practical and convenient.

[0043] In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the flipping table 2 are common existing technologies in the field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Furthermore, the handling robot 3 includes a robot base 31 disposed between the laminating table 1 and the flipping table 2, a robot body 32 rotatably disposed on the robot base 31, and an adsorption frame assembly 33 disposed on the robot body 32.

[0045] In this embodiment, the handling robot 3 is a KUKA-KR210 robot, whose structure and working principle are common existing technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 5 includes:

[0047] Several long side frames 51 are correspondingly arranged around the clamping platform 4;

[0048] A clamp conveying chute 52 is provided on the side of the long side frame 51 facing the clamping table 4, and a clamp moving mechanism 53 is also provided on it for driving the clamp 500 to slide along the length direction of the clamp conveying chute 52.

[0049] The clamp conveying module 54 is located on one side of the long side frame 51 and is connected to the clamp conveying slide 52, and is used to convey the clamp 500 onto the clamp conveying slide 52.

[0050] The clamping module 55 is movably mounted on the long side frame 51 and is used to grab the clamp 500 on the clamp conveying slide 52 and clamp the clamp 500 to the periphery of the glass sheet on the clamping table 4.

[0051] By placing the long side frame 51 around the clamping table, during clamping, the clamp conveying module 54 conveys the clamp 500 to the clamp conveying chute 52. Then, the clamp moving mechanism 53 sequentially and intermittently conveys the clamps 500 to the clamp conveying chute 52 located below the corresponding clamping module 55. Next, the clamping module 55 grabs the corresponding clamp 500 on the clamp conveying chute 52 and clamps the clamp 500 around the glass assembly. This achieves fully automated clamping operation of the glass assembly, eliminating the need for manual clamping of each clamp, saving time and effort, and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, the clamp moving mechanism 53 includes a paddle assembly 531 rotatably disposed on one side of the clamp conveying slide 52, a paddle flipping module 532 capable of driving the paddle assembly 531 to flip closer to or away from the clamp conveying slide 52, and a paddle reciprocating module 533 capable of driving the paddle assembly 531 to move back and forth along the length direction of the clamp conveying slide 52.

[0053] Specifically, the paddle assembly 531 includes a rotating rod 5311 rotatably disposed on one side of the clamp conveying groove 52, a plurality of rotating parts 5312 arranged along the length of the rotating rod 5311, and a paddle 5313 mounted on the outer end of the rotating parts 5312.

[0054] The paddle 5313 is also provided with a plurality of notches 5310 that can engage the clip 500.

[0055] The paddle flipping module 532 includes a cylinder mounting base 5321 installed on one side of the clamp conveying slide 52, a paddle flipping cylinder 322 installed on the cylinder mounting base 5321, and a flipping component 5323 fixed on the rotating rod 5311. The output end of the paddle flipping cylinder 5322 is connected to the flipping component 5323.

[0056] The paddle reciprocating module 533 includes a paddle sliding cylinder 5331 disposed on one side of the clamp conveying slide 52, and a sliding member 5332 disposed at the output end of the paddle sliding cylinder 5331 and connected to the rotating rod 5311. The output end of the paddle sliding cylinder 5331 is arranged along the length direction of the clamp conveying slide 52.

[0057] In this embodiment, the working principle of the clamp moving mechanism 53 is as follows:

[0058] After the clamp conveying module 54 conveys the clamp 500 onto the clamp conveying chute 52, the paddle sliding cylinder 5331 is activated, driving the paddle assembly 531 and the paddle flipping module 532 to move closer to the clamp conveying module 54 until the notch 5310 closest to the clamp conveying module 54 moves to a position opposite to the clamp 500. Then, the paddle flipping cylinder 5322 is activated, driving the paddle 5313 to move closer to the clamp conveying chute 52 until the notch 5310 engages with the clamp 500. Next, the paddle sliding cylinder 5331 is activated again, driving the paddle assembly 531 and the paddle flipping module 532 to move away from the clamp conveying module 54. The initial distance position (the distance between two adjacent notches 5310) is determined, and then the paddle-turning cylinder 5322 is restarted, driving the paddle 5313 to move away from the clamp conveying slide 52 until it returns to the starting position. Then the cycle operation begins until the corresponding clamps 500 are sequentially and intermittently conveyed to the clamp conveying slide 52 and located below the corresponding clamping module 55. Then the clamping module grabs the corresponding clamp on the clamp conveying slide and clamps the clamp to the periphery of the glass on the glass assembly worktable. This realizes the fully automated clamping operation of glass assembly, eliminating the need for manual clamping of each clamp, saving time and effort, and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, the clamp conveying module 54 includes a clamp vibrating plate 541 disposed on one side of the long side frame 51, and a direct vibration feeder 542 connected between the clamp vibrating plate 541 and the clamp conveying chute 52.

[0060] During operation, multiple clamps 500 are placed on the clamp vibrating plate 541. Then, the clamp vibrating plate 541 is activated to vibrate the clamps 500 sequentially onto the direct vibrating feeder 542. The direct vibrating feeder 542 then sequentially transports the clamps 500 onto the clamp conveying chute 52, which is practical and convenient.

[0061] In this embodiment, the working principles of the clamp vibratory plate 541 and the linear vibratory feeder 542 are both existing technologies commonly used in the field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Furthermore, the clamping module 55 includes a material-grabbing seat 551 rotatably mounted on the long side frame 51, a material-grabbing mechanical finger assembly 552 arranged along the length direction of the material-grabbing seat 551, and a material-grabbing flipping assembly 553 for driving the material-grabbing seat 551 to flip closer to or away from the clamp conveying groove 52.

[0063] Specifically, the material-picking mechanical finger assembly 552 includes a mounting plate 5521 disposed on the material-picking seat 551, a telescopic cylinder module 5522 disposed on the mounting plate 5521, and a material-picking mechanical finger 5523 disposed on the telescopic cylinder module 5522.

[0064] The material picking and turning assembly 553 includes a material picking and turning cylinder 5531 disposed on the long side frame 51 and a connector 5532 disposed on the material picking seat 551, wherein the output end of the material picking and turning cylinder 5531 is connected to the connector 5532.

[0065] In this embodiment, the working principle of the clamping module 55 is as follows:

[0066] Once the clamps 500 are sequentially and intermittently conveyed onto the clamp conveyor chute 52 and positioned below the corresponding clamping module 55, the material-picking and flipping cylinder 5531 is activated, causing the material-picking seat 551 and the material-picking mechanical finger assembly 552 to rotate towards the clamp conveyor chute 52 until the material-picking mechanical finger assembly 552 faces the clamp 500. Then, the telescopic cylinder module 5522 is activated, causing the material-picking mechanical finger 5523 to move towards the clamp 500 and grasp it. Next, the material-picking and flipping cylinder 5531 is activated again, causing the material-picking seat 551 and the material-picking mechanical finger assembly 552 to rotate away from the clamp conveyor chute 52 until the material-picking mechanical finger 5523 is in a horizontal position. Then, the material-picking and flipping cylinder 5531 is activated again, causing the material-picking mechanical finger 5523 to move towards the glass laminating worktable and clamp the clamp 500 around the glass. This achieves fully automated operation of simultaneous clamping of multiple clamps 500, which is practical and convenient.

[0067] In this embodiment, the working principle of the material handling mechanical finger 5523 is a common existing technology in the field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Specifically, there are three clamping mechanisms 5, which are respectively located on one side away from the laminating table 1 and on the front and rear sides.

[0069] In summary, during production according to the embodiments of this application, the clear glass sheet is directly conveyed to the lamination table 1, and the coated glass is conveyed to the flipping table 2 with the coated side facing up. Then, the flipping mechanism 20 lifts one side of the coated glass, and then the transport robot 3 picks up the uncoated side of the coated glass, flips and transports the coated glass, and aligns the coated side of the coated glass with the clear glass sheet, thus automatically completing the glass lamination operation. Then, the transmission roller group 10 conveys the glass lamination to the clamping table 4, and the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the periphery of the glass lamination, thus automatically completing the glass lamination clamping operation. It is practical and convenient, eliminating the need for manual lamination and clamping, and greatly improving production efficiency.
