Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of substrate glass packaging technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary packaging device for substrate glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the substrate glass industry, A-frames are commonly used to pack substrate glass for orderly and dense packaging and transportation. This practice has many advantages: A-frame packing can significantly improve loading efficiency, shorten loading and unloading time, thereby improving overall logistics efficiency; and the A-frames themselves are reusable, making them environmentally friendly.

[0003] However, during the actual packaging process, due to the structural characteristics of the A-frame itself, the packaging action, and the weight of the glass itself, the substrate glass is tilted after being continuously placed on the A-frame. Some substrate glass is prone to sliding down, resulting in a certain gap between the bottom of the substrate glass placed on the A-frame, i.e., a difference in thickness between the top and bottom. This phenomenon is more pronounced when the substrate glass is larger and thinner. Since the substrate glass transfer robot generally operates in the middle area of ​​the substrate glass, although it applies force to the surface of the substrate glass when placing it on the A-frame, it is difficult to directly push the placed substrate glass forward. Furthermore, since the travel distance of the robot that transports the substrate glass is preset, if the difference in thickness between the top and bottom is too large, the end of the robot's travel distance will coincide with the position of the outer substrate glass, or cause the outer substrate glass to be excessively squeezed and break. In addition, some transportation requirements require a pressure plate to be placed on the outermost substrate glass and tied tightly during packaging. If the thickness difference between the upper and lower layers is too large, the compressive force on the outer substrate glass during packaging will also increase, making it more prone to breakage. Furthermore, the glass particles generated by the breakage will cause scratches on other substrate glass, and there is also a safety risk caused by flying glass fragments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an auxiliary packaging device for substrate glass, which aims to apply a smooth and moving pushing force along the support bottom surface to the lower end of the substrate glass at the position where the gap between the substrate glass is large, effectively pushing the sliding substrate glass forward and resetting it, reducing the risk of the substrate glass breaking due to excessive squeezing by the robot arm and excessive squeezing force when binding and fixing.

[0005] This utility model is used to install on one side of the A-frame placement area, including a lifting mechanism, a linear propulsion mechanism, and a push plate. The linear propulsion mechanism is installed on the output end of the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the linear propulsion mechanism to move up and down along the height direction of the A-frame. The push plate is installed on the output end of the linear propulsion mechanism and is used to face the supporting side of the A-frame. A rolling support is provided at the bottom of the push plate. The linear propulsion mechanism is used to drive the push plate to move along the supporting bottom surface of the A-frame through the rolling support.

[0006] Furthermore, the push plate includes a vertical part and a horizontal part. The vertical part is disposed on one side of the horizontal part and connected to the output end of the linear propulsion mechanism. The side of the horizontal part opposite to the vertical part is disposed towards the support side of the A-frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the lateral portion opposite to the vertical portion is straight and its side surface is curved.

[0008] Furthermore, the rolling support is located at the bottom of the transverse portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the pusher plate is greater than or equal to the width of the substrate glass.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of the rolling support members is two or more, and the two or more rolling support members are spaced apart at the bottom of the push plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the rolling support is a movable wheel or roller, which is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the push plate.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two or more of the lifting mechanism and the linear propulsion mechanism, with a single linear propulsion mechanism located at the output end of a single lifting mechanism, and the push plate located at the output ends of two or more linear propulsion mechanisms.

[0013] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided on the output end of the lifting mechanism, and the linear propulsion mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is a pneumatic cylinder, and the linear propulsion mechanism is an electric cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it only needs to be installed on one side of the A-frame placement area, without modifying or replacing the existing A-frames on the production line, and can still be used normally. When the robot arm handling the substrate glass needs to place the substrate glass on the A-frame, the linear propulsion mechanism drives the push plate to retract, and the lifting mechanism drives the linear propulsion mechanism and push plate to descend a certain height, leaving appropriate clearance space and not interfering with the movement of the robot arm and the substrate glass. After the robot arm places the substrate glass on the A-frame, this invention can apply a smooth and moving thrust along the support bottom surface to the lower end of the substrate glass at the position where the gap between the substrate glass is relatively large, effectively pushing the sliding substrate glass forward and resetting it. Before the next substrate glass is placed on the A-frame, the lower end of the substrate glass already placed on the A-frame is limited to prevent it from continuing to slide down, thereby reducing or eliminating the gap between the lower ends of the substrate glass, reducing the risk of the substrate glass breaking due to excessive squeezing by the robot arm and excessive squeezing force during binding and fixing, thereby improving the yield of packaged substrate glass and reducing the safety hazards caused by broken and flying substrate glass.

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary packaging device for substrate glass, which is used to be set on one side of the area where the A-frame 100 is placed, that is, on one side of the area where the A-frame 100 is placed, and is not connected to or fixed to the A-frame 100. The aforementioned area can be the ground or a base for placing the A-frame 100. The auxiliary packaging device for substrate glass 200 includes a lifting mechanism 1, a linear propulsion mechanism 3 and a push plate 4. The linear propulsion mechanism 3 is set on the output end of the lifting mechanism 1, and the lifting mechanism 1 is used to drive the linear propulsion mechanism 3 to move up and down along the height direction of the A-frame 100. The push plate 4 is set on the output end of the linear propulsion mechanism 3 and faces the supporting side 101 of the A-frame 100. The bottom of the push plate 4 is provided with a rolling support 5, which is used to contact the supporting bottom surface 102 of the A-frame 100. The linear propulsion mechanism 3 is used to drive the push plate 4 to move along the support bottom surface 102 of the A-frame 100 via the rolling support member 5. That is, it is used to drive the push plate 4 to move towards its support side surface 101 on the support bottom surface 102 of the A-frame 100, and can also drive the push plate 4 to retract and reset. The support side surface 101 of the A-frame 100 is the inclined surface on the A-frame 100 that rests against the substrate glass 200, and the support bottom surface 102 is the bottom surface on the A-frame 100 that supports the substrate glass 200.

[0021] In use, this invention is positioned on one side of the A-frame 100 placement area. Based on the lifting mechanism 1, the linear propulsion mechanism 3 and push plate 4 can be raised and lowered. When the robotic arm places the substrate glass 200 on the A-frame 100, the lifting mechanism 1 drives the linear propulsion mechanism 3 and push plate 4 to rise a certain height. The linear propulsion mechanism also drives the push plate 4 to push along the support bottom surface 102 towards the support side surface 101, thereby pushing the sliding substrate glass 200 forward at its lower end. This reduces or eliminates the gap between the substrate glass 200 and the lower end of the previous substrate glass 200. Simultaneously, before the next substrate glass 200 is placed on the A-frame 100, the lower end of the substrate glass 200 already placed on the A-frame 100 is limited, preventing the substrate glass 200 already placed on the A-frame 100 from continuing to slide down. When the robotic arm handling the substrate glass 200 needs to place the substrate glass 200 on the A-frame 100, the linear propulsion mechanism 3 drives the push plate 4 to retract, and the lifting mechanism 1 drives the linear propulsion mechanism 3 and the push plate 4 to descend a certain height, leaving appropriate clearance space so as not to interfere with the movement of the robotic arm and the substrate glass 200. Figure 3 As shown. When the push plate 4 moves along the supporting bottom surface 102, the rolling support member 5 provides rolling support for the movement of the push plate 4, reducing the friction between the push plate 4 and the supporting bottom surface 102, while ensuring the stability of the push plate 4 when applying the pushing force to the substrate glass 200.

[0022] Due to the sloping structure of the A-frame 100, after the surface substrate glass 200 slides down, it forms an approximately triangular gap with the previous substrate glass 200, with the lower gap being larger than the upper gap, i.e. Figure 3 As shown. This invention can apply a smooth, moving push force along the support base 102 to the lower end of the substrate glass 200 at a location with a large gap between the substrate glass 200 pieces. This effectively pushes the sliding substrate glass 200 forward and resets it. Before the next substrate glass 200 is placed on the A-frame 100, it limits the lower end of the substrate glass 200 already placed on the A-frame 100, preventing it from continuing to slide down. This reduces or eliminates the gap between the lower ends of the substrate glass 200 pieces, reducing the risk of the substrate glass 200 breaking due to excessive pressure from the robotic arm or excessive pressure during binding. This improves the yield rate of the packaged substrate glass 200 and reduces the safety hazards caused by the fragmentation of broken substrate glass 200 pieces. Moreover, to achieve the aforementioned effects, this invention only needs to be installed on one side of the A-frame 100 placement area. There is no need to modify or replace the A-frame 100; the existing A-frame 100 on the production line can still be used normally.

[0023] The linear propulsion mechanism 3 has its propulsion stroke preset according to the thickness of the substrate glass 200. Specifically, it is preset that the distance of the next propulsion is less than the previous propulsion distance by the thickness of one piece of substrate glass 200, so as to eliminate the propulsion interference problem caused by the thickness of the substrate glass 200 and avoid excessive compression of the substrate glass 200.

[0024] The pusher plate 4 includes a vertical portion 41 and a horizontal portion 42. The vertical portion 41 is disposed on one side of the horizontal portion 42 and connected to the output end of the linear propulsion mechanism 3, i.e., the pusher plate 4 has an L-shaped structure. The side of the horizontal portion 42 facing away from the vertical portion 41 is disposed towards the support side 101 of the A-frame 100 for pushing towards the substrate glass 200. Based on this configuration, while achieving the pushing towards the substrate glass 200 and facilitating the connection between the pusher plate 4 and the linear propulsion mechanism 3, the structure of the pusher plate 4 is simpler, which helps to reduce the overall cost of the device.

[0025] The side of the horizontal portion 42 facing away from the vertical portion 41 is straight and its side surface is curved, meaning that the corners of the side of the horizontal portion 42 facing away from the vertical portion 41 are rounded. This design ensures that this side of the horizontal portion 42 effectively contacts the lower surface of the substrate glass 200 while preventing its sharp edges from scratching the surface of the substrate glass 200, thus ensuring a high yield rate for the substrate glass 200. The rolling support 5 is specifically disposed at the bottom of the horizontal portion 42.

[0026] The length of the pusher plate 4 is greater than or equal to the width of the substrate glass 200. That is, as... Figure 2As shown, the pusher plate 4 is positioned across the substrate glass 200 to ensure that a pushing force can be effectively applied to the lower end of the substrate glass 200.

[0027] Because the push plate 4 is relatively long, this invention preferably includes two or more rolling support members 5, which are spaced apart at the bottom of the push plate 4 to provide stable and reliable rolling support for the push plate 4. Specifically, each rolling support member 5 is a movable wheel or roller, which is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the push plate 4.

[0028] In this invention, there are two or more lifting mechanisms 1 and linear propulsion mechanisms 3, with each linear propulsion mechanism 3 located at the output end of a single lifting mechanism 1. The push plate 4 is located at the output ends of two or more linear propulsion mechanisms 3. In use, the two or more lifting mechanisms 1 and the two or more linear propulsion mechanisms 3 operate synchronously. Based on this arrangement, the push plate 4 is driven by two or more linear propulsion mechanisms 3, which better ensures the stability of the push plate 4 during movement.

[0029] In this invention, a mounting plate 2 is provided on the output end of the lifting mechanism 1, and the linear propulsion mechanism 3 is specifically mounted on the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 facilitates the lateral installation of the linear propulsion mechanism 3.

[0030] In this utility model, the lifting mechanism 1 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder, which has a fast response speed and lower cost than a hydraulic cylinder. The linear propulsion mechanism 3 is preferably an electric cylinder, which can achieve more precise position control and more precise thrust control, and makes it easier to accurately preset the thrust and propulsion stroke before putting it into use.
