Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation technology, specifically a glass receiving and tray-laying system. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of glass products, the glass receiving and tray placement process is a key step connecting the production line with subsequent packaging, transportation and other processes. Its efficiency and accuracy directly affect the smoothness of the entire production process and the quality of the products.

[0003] Previously, glass receiving and tray placement was mostly done manually. Workers had to stand for long periods beside the production line, manually moving the glass to designated locations and covering them with cloth after placement. This manual operation was not only slow and inefficient, but the repetitive nature of the work also easily led to worker fatigue, increasing the risk of operational errors and affecting the accuracy and stability of glass placement. When placing glass manually, the lack of precise positioning and measuring tools made it difficult to ensure that each piece of glass was placed accurately in its intended position, easily resulting in positional deviations and angle tilts. This not only affected subsequent processing and packaging of glass products but could also lead to collisions and damage during transportation, increasing the defect rate and raising production costs.

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a glass receiving and traying system.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A glass receiving and traying system, comprising:

[0007] The feeding equipment includes a transmission unit and a first platform, wherein the transmission unit transmits glass to the first platform;

[0008] The displacement device includes a base, on which a robotic arm is mounted. The other end of the robotic arm is a suction cup that moves glass from a first platform to a placement platform.

[0009] The placement platform, located on one side of the main frame, is used to receive the glass moved by the robotic arm;

[0010] The fabric discharging equipment is located on the other side of the main frame, including a fabric stacking platform. A moving material picking mechanism is set above the fabric stacking platform, and a clamp is set below the moving material picking mechanism. The clamp can pick up the fabric on the fabric stacking platform and cover the glass of the placement platform.

[0011] The gripper and the robotic arm work alternately.

[0012] The main frame includes a first support frame, a support frame and a second support frame. A fabric stacking platform is provided on the first support frame. The support frame is horizontally connected above the first support frame and the second support frame, and a moving material picking mechanism is slidably connected to it. The placement platform is located between the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0013] The upper surface of the first support frame is provided with a support platform and a slide rail, and the fabric stacking platform can move longitudinally on the slide rail.

[0014] The mobile material handling mechanism includes a horizontal frame and a lifting platform on it. The horizontal frame is slidably connected to the support frame. The bottom of the lifting platform is connected to a connecting frame assembly, and several clamps are distributed at the bottom of the connecting frame assembly.

[0015] There are at least four clamps, distributed at the four corners, used to hold the fabric at the four corners.

[0016] The clamp is an elastic element, and its opening and closing are controlled by pneumatic components. The inner wall of the clamp is provided with protrusions.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] Continuous operation capability: Automated equipment can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, avoiding production interruptions caused by factors such as manual shift changes and fatigue.

[0022] High-speed operation: The movement speed and cycle time of robotic arms or conveyor systems are far higher than those of manual labor, making them particularly suitable for high-volume production scenarios. Through automation system integration, the time between processes is reduced, improving overall production line efficiency. Robotic arms can easily handle large or heavy glass pieces, avoiding the safety hazards of manual handling.

[0023] Reduce reliance on manual labor: A single piece of equipment can replace multiple operators, alleviating labor shortages and reducing labor costs.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] A glass receiving and traying system includes:

[0034] The feeding device 1 includes a transmission unit 101 and a first platform 102. The transmission unit 101 transmits the glass 5 onto the first platform 102.

[0035] The displacement device 2 includes a base 201, on which a robotic arm 202 is mounted. The other end of the robotic arm 202 is a suction cup 203, which moves the glass 5 from the first platform 102 to the placement platform 3.

[0036] The placement platform 3 is set on one side of the main frame 6 to receive the glass 5 moved by the robotic arm 202;

[0037] See Figure 1 Fabric discharging device 4 is set on the other side of the main frame 6, including fabric stacking platform 401, a moving material picking mechanism 402 is set above the fabric stacking platform 401, and a clamp 7 is set at the lower part of the moving material picking mechanism 402. The clamp 7 can pick up the fabric on the fabric stacking platform 401 and cover it on the glass 5 of the placement platform 3.

[0038] The clamp 7 and the robotic arm 202 work alternately.

[0039] The robotic arm 202 or conveyor system operates at speeds and cycles far exceeding those of manual labor, making it particularly suitable for high-volume production. Through automation system integration, it reduces inter-process connection time and improves overall production line efficiency. The robotic arm 202 can easily handle large or heavy glass pieces, eliminating the safety hazards associated with manual handling.

[0040] The main frame 6 includes a first support frame 601, a support frame 602, and a second support frame 603. A fabric stacking platform 401 is mounted on the first support frame 601. Figure 3 To make it easier to understand, the support frame 602 is horizontally connected above the first support frame 601 and the second support frame 603, and a moving material picking mechanism 402 is slidably connected on it. The placement platform 3 is located between the first support frame 601 and the second support frame 603.

[0041] The upper surface of the first support frame 601 is provided with a support platform and a slide rail 604, allowing the fabric stacking platform 401 to move longitudinally along the slide rail 604. When the fabric on the stacking platform 401 is used up, it is pulled out of the first support frame 601 by moving longitudinally, then filled with fabric before being pushed back onto the first support frame 601. This design facilitates replenishment and maintenance when filling fabric or when the stacking platform 401 malfunctions.

[0042] The slide rail 604 is equipped with a limit device according to the position of the placement platform 3. In addition, the system control also has a program to control the distance of movement of the moving material picking mechanism 402, providing double protection to ensure the accurate position of the fabric coverage.

[0043] The mobile material handling mechanism 402 includes a transverse frame 412 and a lift 422 on it. The transverse frame 412 is slidably connected to the support frame 602. The bottom end of the lift 422 is connected to a connecting frame assembly, and several clamps 7 are distributed at the bottom of the connecting frame assembly.

[0044] The connecting frame assembly includes a first connecting frame connected to the elevator 422, with second connecting frames connected to both ends of the first connecting frame. The second connecting frame and the first connecting frame form an I-shape, and clamps 7 are connected to both ends of the second connecting frame.

[0045] The I-shaped structure is relatively stable, easy to process and assemble, and highly compatible with square glass 5.

[0046] There are multiple placement platforms 3, arranged horizontally side by side. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 2 It also includes a solution where a robotic arm 202 moves the glass simultaneously on two placement platforms 3. Other loading equipment 1 is omitted to more clearly demonstrate the structure of each part.

[0047] Furthermore, the number of placement platforms 3 is determined based on the speed of the feeding equipment 1 and the speed of the robotic arm 202.

[0048] The placement platform 3 can move relative to the main frame 6, and the movement trajectory is perpendicular to the horizontal frame 412. When the glass 5 on the placement platform 3 is stacked to a preset number, the placement platform 3 is pulled to the next process. Correspondingly, the placement platform 3 is also equipped with an adjustable locking structure to ensure that the placement platform 3 does not move relative to the main frame 6 when the robotic arm 202 places the glass 5.

[0049] The base 201 is located between the placement platform 3 and the feeding device 1. The end of the robotic arm 202 is equipped with a lifting structure that can move vertically. The lower end of the lifting structure is connected to a suction cup 203.

[0050] As the height of the glass 5 stacked on the placement platform 3 gradually increases, if the robotic arm 202 closes the suction cup 203 at the same height each time it places the glass 5, the glass 5 will be damaged. Therefore, the lifting structure is controlled by the control program to increase the height of the glass 5 by one thickness unit each time it is placed.

[0051] There are at least four clamps 7, distributed at the four corners, used to hold the fabric at the four corners. Clamps 7 are elastic elements, their opening and closing controlled by pneumatic components. The inner wall of clamps 7 is provided with protrusions, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0052] Furthermore, the more clamps 7 there are, the more stable the clamping of the fabric. This utility model uses a pneumatic method to adjust the opening and closing of the clamps 7. Before being put into use, the opening and closing effect of the clamps 7 can be changed by adjusting the pressure of the pneumatic device, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping only one piece of fabric at a time.

[0053] The protrusions on the inner wall of clamp 7 increase friction, allowing for better fabric gripping.
