[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] A glass sheet feeding device for insulating glass production, combined with Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the system includes a placement rack 6, which supports the glass sheet placed at an angle. A picking platform 1 is located on the side of the placement rack 6 that picks up the glass sheet. The picking platform 1 is spaced apart from the placement rack 6. A translation mechanism is located at the bottom of the picking platform 1, which drives the picking platform 1 to move away from and closer to the placement rack 6. A flipping frame 5 is located on the picking platform 1. The side of the flipping frame 5 closest to the placement rack 6 is rotatably connected to the edge of the picking platform 1. After the flipping frame 5 flips up, it can pick up the glass sheet from the placement rack 6. A loading rack 4 is also located on the picking platform 1. After the flipping frame 5 flips back, the loading rack 4 is used to hold the glass sheet and load it onto the glass sheet.

[0021] The translation mechanism includes two parallel and spaced tracks 3. The bottom of the picking platform 1 is equipped with a walking wheel 2 and a walking drive motor. The walking wheel 2 travels on the track 3. The walking drive motor is connected to the walking wheel 2 and is used to drive the walking wheel 2 to travel along the track 3, thereby enabling the picking platform 1 to move away from and closer to the placement rack 6.

[0022] The tilting frame 5 includes a connecting beam 51, which is rotatably connected to the edge of the material handling platform 1. Several sub-beams 52 are spaced along the length of the connecting beam 51, forming a comb-like structure. One sub-beam 52 is connected to a tilting drive mechanism, which drives the tilting frame 5 to tilt up and down. Specifically, the tilting drive mechanism includes a tilting drive cylinder 59. The bottom of the tilting drive cylinder 59 is hinged to the bottom of the material handling platform 1. A first connecting rod 57 is hinged to the end of the telescopic rod of the tilting drive cylinder 59. The middle of the first connecting rod 57 is hinged to the material handling platform 1. A second connecting rod 58 is hinged to the end of the first connecting rod 57 away from the tilting drive cylinder 59. The end of the second connecting rod 58 away from the first connecting rod 57 is hinged to one of the sub-beams 52. When the telescopic rod of the tilting drive cylinder 59 extends or retracts, the tilting frame 5 can be tilted up and down via the first connecting rod 57 and the second connecting rod 58. Furthermore, to improve the stability of the tilting frame 5 when it flips back and forth, the first connecting rod 57 is hinged to the middle beam 52.

[0023] Each sub-beam 52 has a picking beam 54 hinged to its side away from the picking platform 1 via a hinge rod 53. Each picking beam 54 is arranged parallel to the corresponding sub-beam 52, and each picking beam 54 is equipped with a vacuum suction cup 55 for picking up the glass sheet on the placement rack 6. Each sub-beam 52 is also hinged with a stacking drive cylinder 56, the extension rod of which is also hinged to the corresponding picking beam 54. The stacking drive cylinder 56 is used to drive the picking beam 54 to move closer to and away from the sub-beam 52. When the flipping frame 5 flips up to pick up the glass, the stacking drive cylinder 56 drives the picking beam 54 to unfold away from the sub-beam 52, thus facilitating the vacuum suction cup 55 to pick up the glass sheet on the placement rack 6. When the flipping frame 5 flips back, the stacking drive cylinder 56 drives the picking beam 54 to fold down and move closer to the sub-beam 52, so that the vacuum suction cup 55 is lower than the loading rack 4, enabling the loading rack 4 to hold the glass sheet for loading.

[0024] The loading rack 4 is positioned to avoid obstructing the flipping rack 5 from flipping back. The loading rack 4 includes several sets of opposing support frames 41, spaced apart along the loading direction of the glass sheet. Each loading rack 4 has a rotating shaft 42 rotatably mounted on it, with several fixed wheels 43 spaced apart along its length. When the flipping rack 5 flips back and the picking beam 54 is lowered and close to the dividing beam 52, the top of the fixed wheels 43 is higher than the flipping rack 5, allowing the fixed wheels 43 to hold the glass sheet. One end of the rotating shaft 42 is also connected to a loading motor 44, which is mounted on the support frame 41. The loading motor 44 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, thereby rotating the fixed wheels 43, which in turn load the glass sheet.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, to avoid interruption of feeding after the glass sheets on the placement rack 6 are loaded, a secondary flipping rack 7 is provided on the picking platform 1. The secondary flipping rack 7 has the same structure as the flipping rack 5 and is positioned to avoid the flipping rack 5 and the loading rack 4. The side of the secondary flipping rack 7 away from the placement rack 6 is rotatably connected to the side of the picking platform 1. A secondary placement rack 8 is provided on the side of the picking platform 1 away from the placement rack 6. The secondary placement rack 8 is spaced apart from the picking platform 1 and is used to provide glass sheets for the secondary flipping rack 7. When the flipping rack 5 is working, the secondary flipping rack 7 flips back without affecting the operation of the flipping rack 5 and the loading rack 4. When the flipping rack 5 is not working, the flipping rack 5 flips back without affecting the operation of the secondary flipping rack 7 and the loading rack 4. At this time, the secondary flipping rack 7 picks up the glass sheets on the secondary placement rack 8, realizing continuous feeding of the feeding device.

[0026] In use, the placement frame 6 and the auxiliary flipping frame 7 work alternately. The following description focuses on the placement frame 6 working while the auxiliary flipping frame 7 flips back: First, the stacking drive cylinder 56 drives the picking beam 54 to unfold, and the flipping drive cylinder 59 drives the flipping frame 5 to flip up until the picking beam 54 is parallel to the glass sheet on the placement frame 6. Then, the walking drive motor drives the picking platform 1 to approach the placement frame 6 until the vacuum suction cup 55 contacts the glass sheet, and drives the vacuum suction cup 55 to pick up the glass sheet. Next, the flipping drive cylinder 59 drives the flipping frame 5 to flip back, and the walking drive motor drives the picking platform 1 to move away from the placement frame 6 and connect the loading frame 4 with the production line conveyor. Then, the stacking drive cylinder 56 drives the picking beam 54 to stack down, so that the fixed wheel 43 holds the glass sheet. Finally, the loading motor 44 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate the fixed wheel 43, thus realizing the loading.
